"Salamat was a victim of circumstance and was traumatized as a result of her past. She was willing to give life a chance but something seems to be missing.

The past came tumbling before her when she was already healing and could barely remember the pain. She became stigmatized and couldn't help but give in to despair.

Will she be able to overcome these troubles someday? Or will it affect her mental state and disrupt her matrimonial prospect? Will Habib's betrayal break her or make her stronger?"

THE STIGMA

　　Saleem finished his first semester examinations and got prepared for his last field trip. He missed home so much and was anxious to go home as soon as they were back from the trip.


　　Thanks to the job he was given, he was able to raise money for his field trip and also project work though, he was still working on the project.


　　He called Salamat on his way to his department that Monday morning before their departure and she went to see him off. They left the Department to Birnin Kudu in Jigawa State and the journey took 5 hours.


　　Two weeks after, which was the end of the field trip, they all went back to Zaria and Saleem went straight to the park to take a bus home.


　　The department gave them a week's break before the commencement of the second semester. He called Salamat on his way to Kano and she told him she missed him.
