My family were very happy with the way you received them the other day. I'm really grateful to you.
That's perfectly normal.
Yes I, I would like to ask you for your daughter's hand.
Huh? That's no problem. I'd hoped for that.
Yes?
Yes!
Anyway, I will do all I can to make her happy.
Well, I'm in no doubt of that at all.
Your late wife, I know, she was the envy of all the women in the area.
And I made sure her family had no financial worries.
Uh, Abubakar, I will talk with her.
Well, I'll be going. I hope we see each other again soon.
By the way, I couldn't help noticing that my watch had made an impression.
I'd like you to have it.
No, no, no, no, no. Uh, it isn't, uh. (Embarrassed laughter)
No, listen, it's a gift from me to you.
Really?
Sure!
I don't know how to thank you.
It's nothing really. There's plenty more where that came from. I'll give you lots of fine things.
Oh yes!
It's magnificent! Yes! Yes! YES!!
Fatou?
Father?
We need to speak.
Very well, Father.
Arouna! Arouna!
Who's that? Who is it?
I have something to say to you. I am the AIDS virus.
Think long and hard before you give your daughter to that man.
He has lots of mistresses, and he doesn't take me seriously.
Think above all of your daughter's health!

I'll give you lots of fine things, lots of fine things, fine things.
Ah, Fatou! Come sit down.
You saw Abubakar? What do you think?
Yes I did, but...
Hey! He's very rich, and handsome. Fatou?
Careful, careful there. That's it.
Hello.
Put it back. Ah, Fatou, my girl, alright? Come on in.
Look at your husband's gifts! The chairs, beautiful house.
It's nice to see you. Sit down. And my grandson?
Here he is.
Oh, ah, there he is, my little namesake. Yeah, that's it. Ah, don't cry!
Well, what have you to tell me?
Certainly not good news.
Not another row with your husband? Well, what's wrong?
I've just been to the hospital.
Hospital? What for?
I did a blood test last week. I'm ***-positive.
***-positive? And the baby?
He is too.
My God. Forgive me, daughter. It's all my fault. Forgive me.
I shouldn't have done it. What can I do to help you?
You know, it's a bit late for that!
Fatou!
