Kallo aka shiga yi a tsakanin Meenal da Ahmad. Bai san lokacin da ya tashi zaune ba. “Kana nufin kai ne Sarkin Gombe?”
Gyaɗa kansa yayi yana sake duban Meenal cike da dogon nazari. Ahmad ya yi ajiyar numfashi, “Alhamdulillahi.” Meenal ta kwantar da kanta a jikin dattijon nan hawaye na zuba a fuskarta. Mamaki yasa Sarkin Gombe buɗe baki da ninyar yin magana. Sai kuma ya yi shuru yana nazarin fuskokin su.
“Matarka jinina ce ko? Ta yaya hakan zai faru bayan Munnir kaɗai gareni kuma dukka ‘ya’yansa suna tare da mu. Ko a cikin dangina ne?”

Gaba ɗaya jin sarkin Gombe ya ɗauke ji yake ko dai mafarki yake yi ne? Zama ya yi yana duban Ahmad da alamun ƙarin bayani yake nema.
Sannu a hankali Ahmad ya warware masa komai. Tabbas da ba dan warkewa daga mummunar cutarsa ba, da babu abinda zai hana ciwonsa tashi. Hawaye suka gangaro bisa fuskarsa. Ahmad ya shiga ruɗani bai taɓa ganin babba namiji yana kuka ba, bare har a ce babban ma Sarki da kansa. Danasani ya kama Ahmad. A tunaninsa Sarkin halinsa guda da ɗansa, shiyasa ya gaya masa kai tsaye. Tsoron Ahmad kada aikin da ya sha wahala wajen yi ya lalace.
Sarkin Gombe ya sake riƙe Meenal da ke kuka yana girgiza kai, “Da ba dan Meenal ba da na ƙaryata ka da na ce jinina ba zai taɓa rashin imanin nan ba.”
Shuru ɗakin ya ɗauka kamar ba za a sake tankawa ba. Ahmad ya rasa dukkan wani ƙarfin guiwa. Ba zai iya kallon idon tsohon ya cigaba da gaya masa munanan halayyar ɗansa ba.
Sarki Abubakar ya cigaba da magana cikin sarƙewa. “Munnir zai yi danasani, a lokacin da bai da amfani. Tunda yasa na zubar masa da hawaye insha Allahu sai ya zubar da hawayen nadama.
