ABOUT THIS BOOK
Description
Before he could even finish his sentence, she started stomping her feet and crying like a spoiled brat. And before he knew it, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his back! He bolted away quickly, saying:
"Come on, Momy, you're hitting me over this chubby little girl?!" Before he could even process it, he found her chasing him all the way to the parlor door, yelling, "You'll have to come back and face me eventually...!"
"Just ignore him, okay, my last-born," Momy said. She nodded her head and added, "But Momy, tell him I want nothing to do with him, and he shouldn't speak to me ever again, since I am better looking than him anyway..."
"Alright, it's a settled matter, my last-born. He won't do it again, because he knows no one in this entire house matches my daughter's beauty."
BASMA is a young girl who is barely fourteen years old, but she grew up incredibly spoiled and doesn't lift a finger to do any chores, whether light or heavy. She is the daughter of Alhaji Aminu Mutawalle. Back when he was a young man, he had promised his elder brother that if he ever fathered a daughter, he would give her to him to raise. After making that promise, he got married. At that time, his elder brother already had a son named BILAL. When Bilal was two years old, he started nursery school. Around that same time, Aminu's wife gave birth, but it was a boy. Two years later, she gave birth again, and it was another boy. It was on her third pregnancy that she gave birth to a girl, who was named Basma. When she turned one year old, he took her and handed her over to his elder brother. The brother's wife didn't object at all; she was a very patient and accommodating woman. After that, God blessed Aminu's wife with another pregnancy, and she gave birth to another girl.
When Bilal was brought home for the holidays, he was overjoyed that his mother had "given birth" to a girl (referring to Basma), as he had just finished primary school at the time. Right from that moment, he took care of Basma until he eventually went back to school...
