Tales Of Maryam | Completed✔

24

I threw an aspirin in my mouth and gulped it down with Pepsi, I know it isn't the healthiest thing to do but it's whatever. My head is still pounding and I blame myself for the all the sleepless night, not that it is completely my fault

Abbah! How could he keep that away from me? I punched my desk in frustration... I can't even stay focused, I kept my books away for almost two hours now and I don't think I would be opening it anytime soon

Turai should have seriously kept it to herself, of all periods, they chose to reveal it to me during exams. I don't know if it's good but I know I was far better when I thought he lost his memory

Ignorance is truly bliss

I sighed in frustration, closing my eyes. I opened my eyes and saw someone I pretty much avoided this week...
Johnson

"Hey" I awkwardly greeted, flashing a Barbie smile "Hey!" He replied mirroring my smile but it was a genuine one

We were quiet for a while before he broke it

"Care for a walk?" He offered as I only nodded. I stacked my books in my hand and he offered to carry it. We walked to his car and then I sat in my comfort. He sat on the driver's seat and I catch him every now and then stealing glances but pretend to not notice

"Spill it" He uttered "What?" I asked confused "Whatever it is that is bothering you" he replied "And don't say you're fine because I know when something is up with my babe" He added

Me being me was stubborn but after been persuaded by him. I decided to talk... And I mean talk, cry, scream and let everything on my mind out till I longer feel no anger... It's like every weight on my shoulder dropped

"Well, that is messed up.. I am so sorry for what happened" "You don't have to apologise, it isn't your fault" "Feel any better?" He asked "I think so" I replied "Thanks for letting it out" "Thanks for listening" I smiled... genuinely

Seems like I am back to myself and I am currently panicking at the exams I am writing in the next 24hours. I am not just panicking at the how much I haven't covered but I was also writing Mr. Ola's exams which means extra hard work.

He made it clear that I was going to fail his exams after not giving in what he requested... My body!!

I don't get it, I dress very modest in school and sometimes got mocked for it

They often ask stupid questions or give stupid comments and I only ignore

"Maryam you're swimming in your clothes" "How do you cope with the weather been wrapped like this?" "Malo girl" Some even went far by calling me "Boko Haram" I dragged him to the security and you know how money shuts people's mouth, they only apologised and warned him never to call me that again... Did he stopped? No

I once wore a niqab and someone called me "Lagbaja" I just turn deaf ears on them until they got tired of picking on me

So of all the girls in this department and the school at large he decided to choose a 'Malo girl'

It all started in one of his class when I answered a question he asked and no one could give an answer to

Who send me? Ajayi no salary

He asked the whole class to give a round of applause and asked for my name. At the end of the lesson, he walked towards me "Meet me in my office" he said and dismissed us

Now usually or not very usually because no lecturer has ever seek my presence without tagging along other people plus me been a 'Good girl' a term I replace with been naive actually went to his office

"Good afternoon sir" I had greeted and he responded and asked me to sit. I looked at him weirdly as he chuckled "Come on have a seat my dear" He offered again and I find myself sitting

"Maryam, Maryam" He teased as I smiled awkwardly. He asked where I was from and engaged in unprofessional conversations but he might rather put it, trying to get to know each other and been 'Friendly'

I was beginning to feel very uncomfortable with where the conversation was leading.

"How many boyfriends do you have?" He asked "Boyfriends?" I asked as he nodded smiling and I know better than giving him the reply he wants

"Sir, I don't have a boyfriend" "Oh come on! As beautiful as you are you don't have a boyfriend it is totally unbelievable and sounds odd to the ear"

"Well my religion prohibits that and besides I am betrothed" I said immediately "So let me guess he is at your state?" He asked as I nodded knowing better than to drag Salim into this

"What can he do for you?" He asked as I looked at him confused not longer feeling the need to respect him "I mean what can he offer you?"

"Love, peace, paradise" I shrugged as he laughed hard "Don't tell me you're still living under the rocks" He said as I raised my brows giving him the 'Excuse me' kind of look. He stood from his chair as we seated opposite each other before he walked towards me and sat on his table. I was getting really hot from all the discomfort

"You see in this school, it is hard for someone to graduate with a first class" He stated "Which means I have to study hard" I smiled awkwardly "I can help you achieve that" He said "Really? Oh my God! Thank you sir" I said gratefully

"You don't have to thank me. You also have your part to play you know" He smiled "I don't understand sir" "Ohh Maryam stop calling me sir. I am still pretty young, is it because of my beards?" He asked as I ignored

"Well let's just say I scratch your back and you scratch mine" He said shamelessly "Sir!" I exclaimed "My name is Ola. I have helped a lot of students pass"

Herpes

"I cannot do that" I stood up and was about to take my leave "Why are you still acting like a child? Think about it, you know my office when you've made up your mind" He said. I hissed and left his office with a bang shutting his door as I hear him laugh from behind

Useless Man

I narrated my story to my roommates and they had a good laugh. Saying I should know better. Linda suggested that I blackmail him by agreeing to the term only by going with a camera and then they jump in before he starts anything and we'd threaten to show the video to the authority

I know better than to blackmail a senior lecturer, I am pretty sure it's something most of them do and I'd be left with been a school dropout... No

I don't bother going to his classes since all he does is humiliate me and send me out all the time... So.

He was among the inviligators and I know that if I move even in the slightest he would use it as an opportunity to punish me. I never raised my head till I was done answering every single question

I felt dizzy and I know it has to do with all the sleep I deprived myself. I submitted immediately and I could swear I saw him chewing his fingers in frustration... I internally smirked

I headed to the hostel with my eyes fixed on my phone, I then bumped into someone

I raised my head to apologise when I saw 'Him'

Abbah

I felt my blood boil all over again

A/N:*Sighs* I am getting tired of this book but I wouldn't abandon it because of you☺

I love you🤗💕
