" stop it, just stop it. I've had enough. how can you keep treating me like this everyday like am some kind of trash and not your wife" . Hajiya Binta, a middle aged woman that look in her late thirties said.
"Yes I am the king and you are nothing to me. I can do anything I like without being questioned". Muhammad Ardo otherwise known as Mai martaba said.
" Na gaji, wallahi na gaji ba San iya Zama haka ba. Am tired of living like this, I can't continue.am only respecting you because you have a very good reputation outside and that is why am not saying anything" .
"Don't you dare insult me because I'll make you regret it. You no how I can be when I get angry." he said relaxing on his chair like he didn't just threatened someone.
" That's the only thing you know how to do,you are a coward.the only thing you know how to do is hit women, you excuse of man." Hajiya Binta said and just like lighting, Mai martaba was infront if her and settled his hand on her right cheek.
" Who do you think you are to talk to me like that.i am the king of Kano and you are just a commoner that I decided to help by getting married to, and you are here telling me nonsense".
Mai martaba said harshly, he has been behaving like this for the past few months.
"Tafi nono fari, just divorce me. Ka nuna kacika Dan halak". Hajiya Binta blurted out with the tears running down her face. She didn't for once think about the implications. How will she cope if he eventually divorce her.
"Since you say so, ki ge na sake ki saki uku. I don't want to ever see you in my life again or near this palace."
He said retiring to the chair he stood up from. He said this without thinking twice, like he had been waiting for her to demand for it and he will give her.
"Thank God, I'll be free from this bondage. But if am to go am going with both my children." She secured little Nawals hand who was playing oblivious about what was going on around her.
"You can take only her, but you must bring her back when she's eighteen otherwise leave her here".
" But why do you bother about her when she's the reason why you are treating me like this" hajiya Binta asked throwing questioning looks to Mai martaba with her tear stained face.
" I owe you no explanation.if it's fine by you, fine and if it's not, still fine".
He left the room leaving hajiya Binta to decide on what she wanted to do.
She knew better than to disobey him.she was a young woman and still beautiful at her age since she got married at a young age. She has been living peacefully with her husband before the incident occurred.
Getting married now would be difficult since she got divorced by a king so she has to be a single mother.
She walked to the wardrobe and packed her clothes with little Nawal's clothes,her jewelry and some money to keep things going for a little while.
She strolled out if the huge palace sadly. She turned to look at the gate one last time before blinking back the tears that threatened to fall. She held Nawals had tightly and the box in her other hand.
"Mami where are che wowing" Nawals asked while playing with her doll.
"A place where we would be loved".that was what hajiya Binta said and entered a taxi. She was going to the park to go back to where she came from.
