Feelings That Run Dry

Halima Abu-Bakr was the only daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Salaam who lived in Mali’s capital Bamako in a little town called Lalasou.
She was betrothed to Malam Sani who according to tradition was her.
Halima’s father being a police officer decided that his daughter would only get married after her university as such, Halima was sent to live in the township in order to gain her education but while there, she falls in love with Ladom a youth cooper from Ivory Coast who introduces her to a new kind of life and passion.
However, her parents are not in accordance with the union because, she had already been betrothed and so trouble sparks up.
She sleeps with Ladom, which is a taboo in the Muslim world. She is unable to contain herself and finds it difficult to forgive Ladom for the betrayal and so, she runs away.
