√√FEW HOURS LATER~A WASTE-BIN√√
👥”Is she mad?”
👥”Why would she be sleeping on a waste-bin?”
👥”Does that mean she’s homeless?”
👥”Urghh! That’s disgusting!!”
The passer-by mumurs amongst themselves, while they stared at the figure, laying down on the heaps of waste.
Mariam stirred slowly with a smile, thinking she was still in her room, laying on her soft bed but when a rotten odour hit her nose,she flicked her eyes open and she gasped when she was where was was! What the hell really happened? And how did she get there?
Why was she sleeping on a waste-bin??

√√FLASHBACK√√
A loud thud was heard and the two broke the kiss,they turned only to see Mariam on the floor.
She fainted!!😂😂😂
“Huh?”Vanessa creased her brows,she made a muffle sound, suppressing her laughter while tony chuckled.
“Is she for real or she’s faking it?”Tony chucked and Vanessa shrugged.
She squatted down and began shaking her but Mariam wasn’t moving.
“What should we do then?”Vanessa asked.
“Let’s pour her cold water!”Tony suggested and Vanessa took her bottom lips in, thinking about the idea.
“And she’ll wake up here isn’t it?”Vanessa asked and Tony nodded.
“Let’s take her to a waste-bin! That’s a perfect bed for someone like her!”Vanessa grinned and Tony couldn’t help but laugh at her idea,but somehow he liked the idea so they decided to do just that.
“Imagine what will happen she wakes up to see the comfy bed she’s sleeping on!!”Vanessa cackled, jumping happily.
≈≈≈≈
“Argg!!!!”Mariam shouted, roughing scattering her hair which got the people looking at her, running away in fear that she might attack them soon.
“Tony and Vanessa, you’ve just bitten more than you can chew!”She snorted, folding her fist tightly while glaring at nothing in particular.
“You’ll pay for this humiliation!!”She gritted angrily before storming off.
“That was Mariam! Oh God!!”Amanda peeked out and exhaled.
She and victor actually went to buy a stuff in the store nearby, only to see Mariam standing up from the heaps of waste,then began muttering inaudible words after which she began glaring at nothing in particular.
Amanda been a scared cat,pulled victor and they hid.
“Jeez! You’re this scared?”Victor chuckled.
“Yah, can’t you see she’s gone mad? Why would she be laying on a heaps of waste, comfortably? She’s mad Abeg”Amanda rolled eye and Victor laughed.
“That’s her own wahala(problem), let’s go”he told her.

√√THREE DAYS LATER~SUN-SIDE UNIVERSITY√√
“Cheers to exams successfully done”
“And cheers to the latest graduates in town!!!”
The six friends shouted and clicked their glasses, before drinking happily.
They took their last paper today and they’re currently in a bar, drinking to their heart content.
“Madam more plates of pepper soup!”Tony ordered and the rest laughed before drinking up from their glass.
“Can’t believe I made momma and dada proud!!”Tessa smiled, having a bite from the chicken laps.
It’s actually a chicken pepper soup.
“And you think you’re the only one that’s happy to make momma and dada proud? I’m the happiest Abeg!”Vanessa rolled eye which gained her a laughter from the rest.
“Oh Jesus! We all are just happy. It’s not easy Abeg”Kenn rolled eye, drinking from his bottle directly this time.
“Here,and enjoy!!”The lady placed they plates of pepper soup on the table, before going back in.
“Let’s enjoy bruh and sisto’s!!”Tony waved at them.
“Tony I’m going to miss you!”Tessa was the one who pouted and Tony smiled.
“We are going to miss you more, swrzz!!”Vanessa replied and Tessa smiled, fighting back her tears.
Tony and Vanessa will be going back to America in two days,first they’ll go and see Tony’s parents tomorrow after which they leave the next.
“You’re making me feel sad already! Not like I’m dead!”Tony patted Amanda’s back who was pouting sadly.
“Bruh, don’t forget us!”Kenn and Victor said at once and Tony smiled.

√√A SHRINE√√
“What brings you here again!!”The fetish priest asked again,after Mariam sat down.
She was foaming in rage,her fist balled tightly with her eyes bloodshot.
“I want them both dead!”Mariam gritted and the fetish priest turned to her in shock.
“You’re no longer interested in him?”He uttered.
“I am! Who said I’m not? But it’s obvious we aren’t gonna be together no matter what I do,so ki||ing them both is the best!!”She gritted angrily and the priest heaved before starting his incarnation.
He kept shaking his head countless times, while still communicating with the gods,after what looked like forever,he turned to Mariam with no glint of unseriouness in his face.
“There’s a grave consequences with this!!”He shot and Mariam rolled eye.
“Not like I care!”She hissed and the fetish priest smiled.
“Only deaf butterfly follows the corpse to the grave!”He muttered within himself and brought out a doll baby and calabash.
He began an incantation again, praising and calling the gods all sort of names.
“Take this!”He gave her the doll baby which was tied with a red cloth.
“Once you’ve gotten to your house,call upon their names three times, invoking their spirit in the doll,then stab it with this knife!,they would be dead”He laughed wickedly and Mariam smirked.
“But you shouldn’t let a drop of water,fall on your skin,lest you run mad!!!”He warned strictly and Mariam smirked more.
“I’m actually staying around for now,and there’s no soul here…so how can a drop of water actually touch me? It’s a mission successful in this great one!!”She laughed and the priest chuckled.
“You may leave,go and conquer your enemies!!”He told her and Mariam stood up.
“On no account must any drop of water touch your skin, not even the slightest!”
Mariam only smirked, before going out from the shrine,heading back to her dirty hut.
After she’ve gone far from the shrine,the sky clouded and everywhere went dark,she looked up and exhaled, increasing her walking steps.
The sky made a heavy clapping sounds and great lightening came immediately which got Mariam falling on her butt shockingly.
“It was just sunny now!”She exclaimed trying to start on her feet but before she could do so,the heaven let loose and it began raining heavily.
Mariam screamed shockingly, regretting her action but the scream died down and was replaced with a hysterical laughter.
“Tony! Vanessa! I’m ki||ing you!!”She sang while laughing manically, playing in the Sandy ground.
She bent down, and began eating the sands with her mouth happily.
She’s just ran mad!!
Jeez! There’s always a punishment for each sin and wickedness,she just had a taste from her own medicine!!

All the friends,stood sadly looking at Vanessa and Tony who would be in America soon.
“Jeez! This is more painful than I thought!!”Tessa said, hugging Vanessa In tears.
“Can you stop? Not like we won’t be communicating”Vanessa said, trying not to break down too.
“We love you Nessa!!”Amanda came forward and hugged her.
“All the best bro!”Kenn and Victor hugged tony too! It took them all their self control not to start crying too!
They finally did a group hug and took pictures,at least a memory won’t be bad!
The picture was shared and everyone got theirs.
Tessa kept looking at the picture in her phone, smiling sadly.
“Stay safe you too!!”All the friends chorused when tony and Vanessa began walking towards the plain stairs.
“We love you all!!”Was all tony and Vanessa muttered before the stairs was rolled up.
It wasn’t upto five minutes and the plain took off!!
Tessa broke into tears, while Kenn pulled her into his arm’s, Amanda was hugging victor too!
Their eyes fixed on the plane which was gradually vanishing from their sight.
