Episode 30
The next day which was monday, I got to the
white house and met janet sitting in the living
room, the moment she opened the door and I
entered, she hissed on me and inserted an
earpiece into her ear. I sat down beside her and tried to talk to her,
she looked at me and said “see ogbeni, I
have written my jamb and post Ume so I
don’t need lesson again, you can now go
out and come back when my brother
arrives” she hissed again and walked into her room. I was confused on whether to follow her into
her room, or walk out of the house, or
stayed inside the living room and wait till
gideon arrives. I picked my phone to call her but she was
rejecting the call. One thing about janet was
that she was naturally arrogant, rude and
bossy. Whenever she was angry, it has always
been to the extreme and she can destroy
anything whenever she is angry. Sikirat opened the door of her room. I turned
to the direction of her room and saw her
smiling at me at the entrance and she closed
the door. I was so angry within myself and I sent a
long whatsapp message to janet, telling her
how rude and arrogant she was. I told her
how disappointed I was. I told her how she
didn’t bother to listen to my explanations,
how she refused picking my calls and how she left me heartbroken. I told her if it was a
sin to help someone in need. I was just typing
out of anger and frustration and I made sure
I expressed my mind on the text and I left. At 4pm, I came back to tutor gideon and I
ignored janet all through. I didn’t even
greet her not to talk of chating with her
before I left the house in the evening. On getting home, I called her mother to tell
her what janet said about not doing lesson
again. Madam said she will get back to me on
saturday when we see. On tuesday again, I ignored janet all through
my lesson session with gideon. Thursday
was the next market day. Sikirat and I hanged out at our new meeting
point. We chat and gist about everything. One thing about sikirat was that she was
lively and funny with her ilorin accent, I
would always have a reason to laugh. We agreed to limit our Lessons to friday
nights if no one is at home, so no visitation at
my house till further notice and we agreed to
be patient till janet secured admission and
left the house. On saturday, after gideon’s lesson. Madam,
Janet and I sat in the living room to discuss
about the matter, janet insisted that she
wasn’t interested in lesson again because
she has no exams to write. Madam agreed with her and we concluded
that I will be tutoring only gideon and my
salary will reduce to 10k. Janet and I maintained 5 weeks of malice and
silence. The more I tried to make peace with
her, the more she acted proud and arrogant.
After many trials,I gave up on janet and stick
to sikirat. Around october, something happened, janet
couldn’t meet up with the cut off mark of
“Bio-chemistry” in the University she
applied for and she doesn’t want to go to
polytechnic, madam called me and told me
about it, I felt so bad and I advised her to obtain a “Pre-degree form for janet”. On saturday of the same week, madam
informed me that I should resume lesson
with janet so as to prepare her for the pre-
degree exams”, and again, I should stay in
the white house till the day of the exams for
adequate tutoring. I was surprised on hearing this, but what
amazed me most was that janet was sitting
right there beside madam and was staring at
me in silence. My resumption into the house led me into
another trouble………….. To be continued.
