WHY MEEEE????

Twenty-four

Maryam❤

The journey if life is not close to being easy, not for someone like me.  I got to stand for my self, and that wasn't really bad. At least Ibrahim is behaving like a gentle man now. God knows what changed him.

I think for now, things are getting back to normal, like normal couples. Like we eat together and all. It's a good sign though.

********

Ibrahim.

After what happened at my study three days ago, I felt the urge to amend things with Maryam. I dont know why am thinking about this now, but I think
I need to considering the fact that both Anisa and I had agreed that there is nothing between us now.

Apart from that, how she thought that I was going to hit her made me realize the monster I became.

And now I come to realize that it was a shitty move for me to treat her Like shit in the first place. Farhaan was right actually.

Talking about farhaan, he has been avoiding me for as long as I could remember. I tried talking to him tines without number but he keeps on running away. It seems like it's just me now. Everyone keeps running away from me. It's high time I get my shits together.

And here I am standing in front of Maryam's bedroom, but don't even know how to enter.

I gathered enough courage and pushed the door open but the room is empty. I entered and looked around but she's no where to be found. I turned to live when I heard the running water from the toilet.

I guess she might be in there then.

I sat down and waited for her while going trough her bookshelf.

Wow! All these books!

I checked the books one by one. Most of them are books of medicine while the rest are different kind of novels.

When does she get time to read novels??

"It's not nice to intrude into peoples business you know" she starrled me with her tiny little voice. Like Dora's voice. Yeah yeah don't be surprised, I watched cartoons in fact girly cartoons when I was little.

"Is it that you're deaf or you choose to ignore me?" She spoke again. God! She has changed. And it's my fault that she's changed now.

"Oh sorry, I shouldn't have gone through your things."

"Damn straight. You ain't supposed to be here in the first place." She snapped looking at me like a complete stranger.

"And why is that Dora?" I asked her, making sure I emphasized on that Dora. She made a face and the sighed.

"Ain't you gonna answer me Dora?" I called a again. I like the way she response to it.

She breathed out and said "Are you here to tell me how unfortunate you are to marry me and how much of a burden I am to you? Well if that is it, trust me you have no either how I hate it. " she blurted no she caught me off guard because honestly I didn't expect her to say all these things, like not right now. But I guess am all wrong about the whole situation.

"Calm down Dora, am not here for it tonight." I said calmly. I might not be good at this kind of stuff but I think am trying.

"Then what do you want?" She asked as she sat down on the arm chair.

"I want to set things right with you Dora, I really want to." I said more of a whisper. No matter how hard I want to deny this fact, I can't. I need to mend things with her. At least I should have  someone that can here me out. At least let this marriage work out. Maybe I could be happy.
