TATTALIN SO – PART 1 (Page 3-4)
Time passed. Aliyu returned to Kaduna for work. Meanwhile, discussions about his marriage continued.
There was a neighbor’s daughter named Mansura who deeply liked Aliyu. She tried to get his attention, but he never noticed her — he was calm and reserved.
Eventually, the elderly women arranged Aliyu’s marriage to Mansura. Since Aliyu respected his parents, he agreed, even though it was not his personal choice.
The wedding date was set to be the same day as his sister Sadiya’s wedding.

THE WEDDING DAY
Both weddings were grand.
Everyone wore matching shadda clothing.
There was drumming, dancing, photography, and celebration.
Ni’ima, now 14 and becoming a young lady, stood up and prayed publicly for the couples. She recited Ayatul Kursiyyu and prayed:
> “May Allah bless these marriages, grant peace, righteous children, and protect them from all harm.”
Everyone said Ameen.
