HAPPY MOTHER'S DAYChapter Thirteen
///Present Day\\\_____09-02-2019______
Maryam's POV
"That was my story Nanny. And then today when his friends arrive, I went to bring them some refreshment only to find out he was playing the video of us making love"
"Subhanallah! How could he do something like that?" Nanny enquire
"I wonder too.... May be I'm at fault too for giving him my virginity.... May be I shouldn't have, it's not like I wanted to at first, but he's my husband right and I can't deny him"
"Yes you're right Mrs Kareem,I'm so sorry for your unfavourable past but with faith everything will be better for good insha Allah"
"Amin thank you Nanny..... But what always ponder is that, why was I born into this world only to be suffered, first by my aunty and now my husband, for how long will I endure the pain? For how long Nanny? " I asked crying
"Maryam" we heard her voice
"Kareemah? What's she doing here? I hope she didn't hear our conversation" I thought wiping off my tears
"Maryam how are you feeling? " she asked siiting next to me on my bed
"I... I'm fine" I stuttered looking stunned
From where did all this care came from?
"Maryam I'm sorry for everything I've done to you, may be it was a childish act.... I heard all what you've told Nanny, I'm sorry I didn't mean to I swear, I didn't mean to, you see your husband called me suddenly sounding panic, he kept muttering he hurts you, that's why I was here
And me entering here, I heard you talking to Nanny about your past. Which I must say you really are a brave woman, i can't endure all what you've been through. I'm sorry for all the mean word I've said to you" she said sincerely
"It's fine sister Kareemah.... It all in the past now" I said smiling
"Thank you, you really have a wonderful heart. At first I thought you're a gold digger coz I never like that Safeenah at all, she always make my brother lavish money anyhow and then, when I heard Mom was forcing you on Kareem, I thought you won't be no good for him. But now I realize you're not,I'm....I'm sorry Maryam, please forgive me"
"I already did sister Kareemah, infact you don't know how happy I'm to know that you see me different now"
"Of course and thank you.......And about my brother I'll tell you things about him today. Things you don't know"
"Kareem is only mad at you because his girlfriend died ten days ago before your "
"What? His girlfriend? You mean the lady manipulating him to do bad things?"
"Yes Maryam"
"You see, he was kind of drunk the day he realize he's going to get married to you instead of that girl, he went to beg her but she was so angry at him, she disgraced him so much infront of many people, but nevertheless does he leave, he wants to make her believe him. With stubborness he drag her out, he wants them to have a private talk, but been in a drunk state of his, their car almost hit another car, he tries all his best but unfortunately they had an accident, they were both rushed to the hospital but only Kareem could make it. Safeenah died and ever since then he became worst and uncontrollable "
"Kareem is a very nice person Maryam. I can testify to that, but ever since he started dating that peace of trash Safeenah, he started behaving anyhow, he don't pray anymore, he..... He take drugs Maryam... Please save him Maryam,save my brother. Now that I realize the reason why mom asked you to marry him, though I'm not sure yet but he's changing a little, and it all because of you, he never cared for anyone except for that Safeenah, but today judging by the way he called me sounding panic all of a sudden, I thinks he started having a soft spot for you"
"So you mean he don't pray? and he do take drugs?" I asked and she nod
"But.... Your.... Your mom told me he do prayed"
"Well that was mom believe, but only I know the real him"
Ya rosulillah.... What do I do now? I'm married to a drug addict? First, aunty the psycho and now a drug addict?
"Maryam.... Maryam can you do that?"
"Huh?! Do what?"
"I was talking to you but you already zone off.... I said can you please change him?"
"But-"
"Please Maryam, I'll count on you please" she beg
I can do it right? I mean I made aunty change a little at least i can change him too
"Ok sister Kareemah, I'll try all my possible best to change him for " I assured
"Thank you so much... And please from now on don't call me sister Kareemah.... You can me Bestie... We can be bestie right?"
Bestie? Is she kidding me? I mean we only get to talk to each other normally today and now she's asking me to be her bestie all of a sudden?
"Please you can do that right? Please please" she beg whining
Never knew she have this hidden talent in her, she's acting like a kid
"Ye.... Yes Sis "
"No! I mean call me bestie" she said hitting my leg playfully. I winced in pain coz that was where I was wounded
"Oh my God! I'm sorry bestie, I didn't mean to" she cried out showing me a different look which I can't specify
I couldn't help it anymore as I burst into laughter. She and nanny was looking at me like I was insane. They were both staring then slowly I cool down and said "I'm sorry,.it just that you... Your face looks funny, I mean you always look serious and all of a sudden you acting like five"
"What?! You mean I'm acting crazy? " she asked glaring
My God! I hope I haven't ruin the moment? I hope she won't turn back to the old Kareemah?
"Erm Sis... I... I didn't mean to say that I -"
"Oh really?! and what did I tell you about you calling me Sister? Well you call for it" she smirked wickedly. I could sense she was trying to do something funny which I don't know what
And before I know it, she stood up and start tickling me "please stop" I said laughing so hard
"No No No, not until you said the right word" she stubbornly said
"Ok fine I'm sorry my beautiful bestie, even though you're older than me, thank you for making friend with this lonely girl" I said playfully but deep down I'm serious about it
She stopped and said "you're welcome and from now on you're my one and only bestie" we all laughed but stopped when we heard his voice
"What's going on here?! " he asked with all seriousness in his face
I gulp nervously, swallowing my spit slowly I lock my eyes with Kareemah and she smile at me
"C'mon Kareem i was only helping your wife out"
"Wife?! Did you just call her my wife?!" He asked laughing bitterly
"She can never be wife! She will never be!....is that clear?! "He roared angrily
"Whatever" Kareemah replied waving her hand in the air
"Bestie I'll check on you tomorrow " she said hugging me and left, not bothering to look at her brother. Nanny left too and now it was only I and him in the room
I was busy playing with my finger nervously when I sense he was moving closer to me
God I hope he won't beat me again?
