Description
Caught in a Storm: Shaheed’s Outburst
Sariat, trembling with fear, was caught off guard when Shaheed burst through the door. Furious, he accused her of betraying him and revealing Aidan's presence to Haj. Manga. She tried to explain, but Shaheed wouldn't hear it—he ordered her to leave and began throwing her belongings out.
Haj. Manga Steps In
Hearing the commotion from her car, Haj. Manga rushed upstairs. Despite Shaheed’s resistance, she demanded entrance and found Sariat on the floor, begging. Hearing Aidan’s cries from another room, Haj. Manga went to check and discovered the boy. She comforted him, even though she had once rejected him due to hatred for his mother. Seeing the scene, Shaheed softened.
The Truth Unfolds
When asked what connected her to the family, Haj. Manga narrated everything: her secret support for Shaheed, the death of Papa Abayomi, and even her efforts to secure Shaheed’s career. Moved by the truth, Shaheed broke into tears. Haj. Manga teased him about crying more than Tauhidat.
Then, a phone call came in—Dr. Madaki reported that Tauhidat was at the hospital with Alh. Audi. Haj. Manga switched to speaker, and they all listened as Alh. Audi expressed regret for mistreating Tauhidat and for not helping her reconcile with Shamsu. He requested she marry Shamsu again to take care of him in the UK, offering to compensate her.
Tauhidat Breaks Down
Hearing the offer, Tauhidat ran out of the hospital office in tears, bumping into things. She called Shaheed and begged him to get her married immediately, even if to Deji, though she disliked him.
Haj. Manga arranged a secret meeting spot and asked Shaheed and Sariat to pack. She feared that Alh. Audi’s search for the truth might reveal Aidan’s identity.
A Mother's Plea
Haj. Manga then showed Shaheed a picture of a handsome doctor—Arqam, her first son. She asked Shaheed who deserved to marry Tauhidat: Arqam or Shamsu? Before he could answer, a call came in from Alh. Audi, causing Shaheed’s hands to tremble and drop the phone.
Haj. Manga calmed him, reminding him to act wisely for everyone's safety. Shaheed picked up and pretended all was normal, claiming he had just returned from a trip with Sariat.
Audi’s Suspicions Deepen
Alh. Audi expressed frustration about not being invited to Tauhidat’s wedding. Curious about her new husband, he asked questions and planned a visit. Haj. Manga pressed Shaheed again—who should Tauhidat marry? He requested a meeting with her first.
Uncovering Susu’s Secrets
Haj. Manga visited Susu, who was in custody. She confronted her with proof of multiple secret bank accounts abroad. Susu, fearing more exposure, confessed she had known about Tauhidat’s divorce from Shamsu since day one and asked Haj. Manga for help finding Aidan.
Reuniting With Jamal
Tauhidat arrived at Haj. Manga’s new house, guided by the gatekeeper. There, she met Jamal, who teased her playfully. After an emotional exchange where she reminded him of how he had once humiliated her, they reconciled. Just then, Haj. Manga walked in and found them laughing, bringing warmth and hope to an otherwise chaotic situation.
