Everyone lowered their head humbling themselves before their Lord as Abdurrahman prayed. Umar then thanked him and the meeting began.
“I would like to first of all take this opportunity to welcome the guests to my humble abode. You all are welcome. I hope that your stay here have been comfortable save for what happened yesterday. I regret to say that I am deeply ashamed to have not been able to intervene in time.
My sincerest apologies to my beautiful daughter-in-law who have shown a lot of patience regarding this issue. I am sorry for the things you suffered, I am also sorry for what happened to you some few months back.
I found out almost too late that zuneir almost defiled you. By the time I found out, it was too late. Afraid of breaking the family apart, I asked the rest to keep the event a secret from your husband. Do not blame him for his ignorance.
