Even though i was not comfortable with her presence but who am i to complain, i
remembered his statement that we must always learn to live with different people with
different characters. I couldn’t come to term with the fact that Ismaeel already have a
boyfriend at that age, the lady even slept on our bed and the fact the she was even a
Christian..how will Ismaeel be dating a Christian when we have so many muslim sisters in school, most especially in MSSN. I couldn’t erase the fact on my head that she was putting on jean and a top on that
particular day, no scarf to cover her head or whatsoever. For the first time in so many
years, i had to combine Zuhr and Asri prayer together that day (2pm and 4pm prayer).
It was during our conversation i got to know that Ebun was a 200level student of Business
Administration in Lead City University Ibadan, in fact that was the first time i was hearing
the name of the University. So, where exactly did he meet brother Ismaeel is what i don’t
know. I was still on the thought of how they met each other when Ismaeel opened the door
on me
Ismaeel: salam aleikum
Me: wa aleikum salam
Ismaeel: She has gone?
Me: Where will she get a bus going to Ibadan this evening
Ismaeel: she’s not going to Ibadan straight tonight, she is going to her sister’s place in
GRA and will be going back first thing tomorrow morning
Me: She has a sister here in Ilorin
Ismaeel: Yes
Me: Then why didn’t she go and spend the night in her sister’s place
Ismaeel: she just decided to stay here..i know
what you are thinking about Alfa Abdulrahman, we didn’t sleep together in this room, i slept in Ezekiel’s room yester night, while she slept here….i hope you are not thinking that i have
started having Make love at this age when i know the consequence and what the quran said about fornication and adultery
Me: I was surprised too but my mind is definitely at peace now hearing the detail of
what happened but i don’t like the way she dress in a provocative way
Ismaeel: You call that provocative brother
Abdulrahman? She has even changed, am trying to change her little by little, you know
its a gradual process and i don’t want to force
the religion on her, i want to gain her heart with my character and the way i practice
Islam. You know the holy quran said “La iqraha fi deen” (There is no compulsory in religion)
Me: i understand your point of view though but even if its just for her to be using scarf to
cover her hair for now and stop wearing trousers
Ismaeel: Its little by little…its a matter of time
Me: okay, please don’t do what will be against
the will of Almighty Allah..
Ismaeel: Yes of course
Me: So, where his Ezekiel?
Ismaeel: He has gone home..he went home like 3 weeks ago, his girlfriend was around and
left a week after him and drop their key for me to keep. Ezekiel i learnt will be coming back next week i guess
Me: okay..what about every other person
Ismaeel: They have all gone too aside Esther that didn’t go home too….
Me: What is she doing in the hostel
Ismaeel: I don’t know oooo…less i even forget brother Abdulrahman
Me: What is that?
Ismaeel: There is this guy that finished from our department who want to dispose off some
of his property and asked if i will be interested
in taking his TV and DVD
Me: TV and DVD? Do we need it and how much is he selling it?
Ismaeel: Based on our relationship, he said if i
can afford N10,000 and i believe its very cheap
Me: N10,000?
Ismaeel: Yes, i already have N7,000 with me and am thinking if you can add N3,000 to it to
complete the money.
Me: TV and DVD will definitely be a distraction at home now
Ismaeel: But it wont cost anything either having it at home to relax with once in a while
Me: What about our accommodation fee?
Ismaeel:We will pay now, at least they are sending us money next week and i know you will still get your salary from your coaching centre but if you feel you don’t want to contribute, i will find the means of completing the money but i believe it will be beneficial to
you as i will still leave them for you when am out of the school
Me: Ohk…no problem.
I had to give in to brother Ismaeel demand since his response look like a blackmail and gave him 3k later that evening. I told him i will
like him to follow me to the bank the following morning that i want to go and open a student
account with Oceanic bank and he said no problem.
