The day has come, the day when my brother and shabanu leave for the sibi fair. that girl is not true to Allah, she acts like a boy and goes around with her head uncovered! this is outrageous and I have to do something about it! ” a young lady shouldn’t go with her head uncovered. you’re too old to act like a boy” I say to shabanu resting my hands on my hips. I can see that shabanu wants to curse me but I know she doesn’t dare to. the other day I was making a fire and sewing wedding dresses  shabanu’s mother when I pointed out that if she had delivered sons we wouldn’t have to go through such a hassle to make wedding dresses and how I worry about how she’ll spend all her life savings on two weddings. without a son who will take care of her when she is old. then shabanu interrupted me. she is the rudest girl I have ever met!
