Na bi bayansa a hankali naga ya tafi gurin su Inna yayi musu wata magana, sai naga Inna ta saki hannun Asma'u da sauri ta rufe bakinta ta durkushe a gurin, Mama tana ta salati ita ma su Aunty Fatima suna tayata.

Tunda nake a lokacin ban taba ganin Inna cikin tashin hankali irin na yau ba.

Na fada da iyakacin karfina "Sadauki!! Ummah" Aunty Fatima tayi saurin rufe min baki na da hannunta tace "kul Diyam, ba'a yiwa mamaci ihu".

Sannan ne na bude ido ana ganni a palon Inna, Asma'u tana zaune kusa dani tasha kuka ta koshi, ina jiyo tashin sautin kukan Ummah sama sama amma ban juya ba ballantana in kalli inda take.

Muna nan zaune sai muka ji hayaniya kuma, muryar Alhaji Babba "ku fita da ita daga gidan nan, ai tun sanda ya aure ta mun gaya masa babu mu babu ita, dan haka yanzu ma babu mu babu ita" sai muryar yaya ladi tana kuka. Ji nayi kamar in tashi in shake shi, how dare he said that a ranar da Baffa ya bar duniya? A ranar da Ummah ta bar duniya?" Rigima sosai har makota suka fara taruwa, sai ga dattijon mutumin da har yau yaya ladi take gidan sa yazo yace "a gidan aurenta za'ayi mata suttura kamar kowacce matar aure, kai kuma baka isa ka hana ba in kuma zaka iya to ka dauko yan sanda" ganin mutane suna ta kallonsa accusingly ya saka Alhaji Babba ya ja baya ya bari aka shigo da gawar Ummah. Na tambayi kaina to ina Sadauki kuma?

Na koma gida ina tafi ina hada hanya. A tsakar gida na durkusa a cure a guri daya ina kara tambayar kaina ina Sadauki? Ji nake nima inama dai mala'ikan mutuwar zai zo ya hada dani. Mama ce tafito ta ganni a gurin, sai ta dauko tabarma ta shimfida mana muka zauna ta jani zuwa cinyarta na kwanta. Anan mukayi sallar magrib, sai ga yaya ladi ta fito tazo inda nake ta shafa kaina tace "sannu Halima, Allah yaji kansu yayi musu rahama, shi kuma Aliyu Allah ya bashi lafiya" na dago kai da sauri na ina kallonta sai naji tace wa Mama "zan koma asibiti inga halin da yake ciki" Mama tace "to Allah ya jishe mu alkhairi" nace da Mama "waye a abibitin?" Tace "Sadauki mana" naji wani abu mai nauyi daya tokare tun daga zuciyata zuwa makogwarona ya janye, numfashi na ya fara fita da sauri nace "Sadauki? Ba tare suka mutu ba? Na dauka ko an kai gawarsa wani gurin" ta rike hannuna tace "Sadauki bai mutu ba ya samu buguwa ne a kansa shi yasa doctors sukayi sedating dinsa. Baffanku kuma tun kafin a kawo su asibiti ya cika, Ummah kuma tashin hankali ne ya saka ta yanke jiki ta fadi, jininta yayi mugun hawan da cikin yan mintina ta mutu" naji wani abu yana sauka daga kai na zuwa kafafuwana. Sadauki is alive. Then there is hope for me.
