WHY MEEEE????

Eighteen

Recap

So how did you get to meet Ibrahim?" Hajara suddenly asked .gr question I have been avoiding. I opened my mouth to reply when someone tapped my shoulder.

"hey there"

Maryam's POV

"hey dear!" a girl with a fitted gown that exposes her curves and back said. She is wearing a small veil around her neck. What's the use of the veil?

"what do you want fareeda" Hajara spoke.

"what is your business?" she snapped at her and turned to me. "and you" she said.

" I have tolerated you enough. You took Ibrahim away, and now you are sticking onto Farhaan. You are such pathetic bitch, a lair, a cheater and a manipulator. I wonder what they saw in----"

"a word again and you would be dead." A familiar voice said behind me stopping her from talking.

I turned and came face to face to no one but Ibrahim.

"who is the pathetic bitch between you two huh? Just look at yourself," he said pointing her up and down. "you think you can compete with my wife?" he laughed. "senseless person with no dignity" he added.

"get your things and let's leave here." he told me. "am waiting in the car over there." he added and left for the car.
Hajara and the rest started awwwning, what's so cute here? If only they knew.

The fareeda girl hissed and left. What she said didn't affect me at all. Why should it ma? I know that it's not true, so why should I worry myself? The only thing that pains me now is how he came and stood up for me. Did I tell him I cannot speak up for myself? Who dafuq does he think he is just to leave me without saying anything for five breaking days just to come back and speak up for me?

"Maryam are you okay?" hajara asked.

"am fine, you don't need to worry." i replied.

"isn't that the cutest thing ever?" fateema squealed a n e I rolled my eyes.

"you are so so so lucky Maryam." bilkisu said. I couldn't help but laugh. If only they knew.

"Oya go, don't keep him waiting." hajara chirped in.

"bye guys.". I said and headed to where ibrahim packed his car. He is leaning on the car waiting for me when I got there. "shall we?" he asked but I ignored him. He opened the passengers door for me, but instead of waiting for me to enter like how gentle mens do, he walked away immediately he opened the door. Sai kace Ance dole yayi. Mtsww

I entered and closed the door and turned to look at him, his eyes are fixed to the road. "Why are you doing this?" I yelled. 

"Did I tell you I needed your help? You disappeared without telling me for five days, five fu*king days just to come back and speak up for me? Haba ibrahim, wani abun ko da dadi da kunya aii (a proverb in Hausa.)I kept on blabbering and shouting, but this guy didn't say a word to me, how rude of him. 

He parked the car in front of our house. I got down and went in without waiting for him. The guy vex me like sosai, he is taking me for granted way to much. I entered my room went straight to the bathroom, performed my abulution and prayed. 

I folded my praying mat and kept it on the chair when Ibrahim came into the room. To say I am shocked will be the greatest understatement of the century. Ibrahim has never set his foot in my room until today. lallai kam today will surely snow. 

"Hey!" He said but I ignored him and walk passed him.

He held my hand and stopped me from going out. "am talking to you Maryam" he said sternly.

I turned and faced him "it's obvious that I don't want to answer." I replied.

"and I obviously want to talk to you." he said.

I ignored him and tried to walk away, but dragged me back and pinned me to the wall. "Ibrahim leave me alone please" I tried not to cry but I couldn't hold back my tears. He is hurting me so bad.

He immediately realised me when he saw tears in my eyes. "Maryam you are trying to be stubborn, u just want to sort things out with you. Please Listen to me." he pleaded.

"i am sorry about what happened before I left, wallahi it is not my habit to raise my hand on a woman___"

"wait wait wait, pleas keep your apology to your self please" I interrupted him.

"you need to listen to me please"

I went and sat down on the bed. "am all ears." I said absent-mindedly.

"you came into my life at the wrong time Maryam, I was never life this but they say life can change people right? I don't know why you agreed to marry me but I just want to tell you that I can't love you. We might be friends but I don't thing love will grow between us. Am not saying this to make you upset, I don't want to give you hopes and crush it. We can only be friends for now." he said.

"do you think I also wanted this marriage? I never agreed to this marriage Ibrahim."  I told him.

"you agreeing or not agreeing doesn't change anything now. What is done is done, just stick to my words." he said.
Now he is back to his arrogant self. I wonder what's wrong with him.

I stood up and left the room. He wants us to be friends, we'll its not a bad idea. But the question here is should I trust him? Should I believe what he said? What of his girlfriend? I just can't understand. My heart is already broken, I don't want him to destroy it any further.
