Tales Of Maryam | Completed✔

Don't You Need Somebody

Salim's POV
"I no even want the money again" I shrugged "Why na?" They all asked "Guys forget all I said I was joking. Honestly, I'm a changed person and I genuinely love Maryam" I stated as they all started laughing "I'm been serious" I said honestly "You sure say she never put you for inside bottle?" Abdul asked

"She's not like any girl I've met. She's nice, loving, caring, beautiful, smart and God fearing, who wouldn't fall in love?" I asked rhetorically in a calm voice "Chai! Juju o! It's working. Guys let's go and wash his head in the river" Uche exclaimed as I only shook my head

"Wait! Salim, are you been serious or just pulling our legs?" Habib asked as I reassured them that I truly love her. Habib smacked his hand on the glass table giving it a crack

"You must be out of your mind if you think you're backing out now. Maryam had always been mine and I only seeked your help to get her attention, now you want to switch up on me?" Habib said through gritted teeth

"You mean us Habib? Remember we were all going to have a piece of cake?" Abdul reminded "Listen I was not in my right senses when I said that, I had always loved Maryam but the babe was giving me front thing and I had to do anything to get her" Habib said "By letting all of us use her, if Salim marries her?" Uche said "Look I was not in my right senses and I thought this fool here would be of help" Habib said angrily darting at me

"As I sit down jeje, no be you bring the plan come my side? Well I'm glad you did because this fool got to have her" I shrugged as his fist landed on my face, we started fighting and it took a while for us to get separated after injuring each other

"I would make you pay for this" He left as I smirked strengthening my shirt

Maryam's POV
I went home feeling light headed and no matter how people asked me 'What's wrong?' I just said a simply 'Nothing'
I've cried and cried till I could cry no more
"I wish I had known earlier, it was too good to be true"

"Assalamu alaykum!" Amina greeted, I didn't notice her presence until she had spoken
"Why are you crying?" She asked as I wiped my face immediately "Nothing! Something entered my eye" I lied "Sorry" She pouted as I smiled weakly
"You have a guest" She said "Tell the guest that I'm not around" I tried sending her away "It's not good to lie fa" She pouted folding her arms "I'm kidding, I'm coming okay?" I said as she smiled running away, leaving my door opened..... Pet peeve😟

I wore my long hijab and headed to the parlour, to the surprise I saw Habib. Habib from school, the guy who has been following me up and down. What was he doing here? I thought

"Good evening" He greeted as I greeted back "Congratulations, I heard you're getting married" He said genuinely "Ohh yeah, thanks! Man of my dreams" I managed to utter ignoring the heavy lump in my neck, he laughed as I felt irritated trying to avoid it from showing on my face

"Please if you wouldn't mind, I'd love to have a little word with you" Glad he have  an actual reason for coming as I was about to ask him "Yeah okay" I said "Not here please" He pleaded. I held Amina's tender hand in mine and followed him to gate, I gave Amina my phone to play with so her attention would be distracted

"Yes?" I asked "It's about Salim" He said "What about him and how did you know his name?" I asked "There's more about him that you do not know about" He replied as I only looked at him, he narrated the whole story but there's nothing new to it since I've heard it with my own ears

"Stop that at once!" I ordered as he kept shut and my acting skill began "Why would you like about your own friend like that? Is it because I refused to date you? Listen, I love Salim with all my heart and there's nothing anyone could ever do or say to make me stop loving him" I stated "If you don't mind, I had something doing before your arrival, excuse me" I left dragging Amina along

"Ouch! You hurt my wrist" Amina whined "I'm sorry baby" I rubbed her wrist "Go meet Habiba to give you chocolates" "Yay chocolate" She danced happily as I laughed at the funny way she moved her feet. My phone vibrated in my jeans, I received a text from Linda

Linbooboo💕: Are you still calling off the wedding?

Me: No! I have a plan

Linbooboo💕: You sure about that gurl?

Me: Never been so sure

Linbooboo💕: Go gurl💃💃

I smiled at the text and wiped all the messages.

"Amarya" Habiba teased "What's your own?" I laughed "The stupid guy is here" She rolled her eyes "Don't talk about my ango like that in my presence" I smiled "That is the least I can do. Are you sure you want to go on with the wedding?" She asked as I nodded "Anytime you need someone to help use a gun, you could always let me know" She assured "Thanks for the offer, darling sis. Now, I can't keep the yep I  waiting" I said leaving for the living room

Sighting him, I feel hate rise up in me. He even has the guts to smile, I frowned and walked up to him

"What's wrong?" He asked "Uhh nothing my handsome groom" I smiled "You see,  Habib stopped by" I said, he froze and began to sweat "Wh.. What d..did he say?" He stuttered "He came to congratulate me" I said "Don't mind him, he's fond of surprising people like that" He said quickly "Yeah right" I said slapping him really hard, he looked at me confused

"Sorry hunny, a mosquito was trying to bite you" I apologised pouting a bit  "Ohh it's okay" He smiled holding his face as I smiled back

I would make you regret your existence, Salim.
