"I think it's jinn" she said "What's jinn?" Linda asked confused "Evil spirit" Bashir translated as she gasped
"Are you sure about that?" I asked
"I had a sister that suffered from them. Maryam has all the symptoms my sister did before she died, she is at the last phase" she said sadly

"What do you mean please? I'm lost" Linda said "I am sorry about your lost baby" Bashir said and she nodded "Her skin colour is different now, it's glowing and a bit pale, her body is cold and when I tried opening her eyes she had no pupils" she stuttered "Uttered nonsense" I fist bumped the chair "Móti ku o( I have died)" Linda screamed hugging herself "Keep it down" a nurse hushed "Abbah you've got to work on your anger issues I keep telling you man" Bash advised "If you don't believe me, you can go check for yourself" Turai stated

Staring at Maryam who seemed lifeless on the bed, I began to wonder if what Turai said was true. I moved closer to her and observed, I held her right hand which is the first time I ever did, her hands were freezing, I checked if there was an AC but there were none. Her skin colour is different and I am a bit frightened to check her eyes. There's only one thing left to do, pray! I performed ablution, prayed and tap play to my favourite Sheikh 'Sudais', I called on Bashir to help with recitation too since he is a hafizul Qur'an. He was raised in a strongly built Islamic home, his father is sheikh, I despise him for this but sometimes his behaviour does not match that of a sheikh's son

He performed ablution and pulled his chair closer to Maryam and started with a Bismillah, he recited Suratul Baqarah. Maryam began to shake causing the bed to shake along and I fear that nothing happens to her because she's all I've got. She began to scream loudly and I fear the patients in the hospital would be disturbed

"Baby?" She called out "Yes?" I answered relieved that she was finally awake as I walked up to her, her eyes were still shut "Please tell him to stop" she said and I told Bashir to stop and he did "You don't cut a surah while reciting brother" a man said and I looked towards the door to see three men with full lengthy beards all dressed in white Kaftans

"HIHIHIHIHIHIHI" Maryam laughed and I looked at her confused "What's so funny babe?" I chuckled moving close to her, she opened her eyes revealing no pupils "You actually told him to stop? What a dumb move!" She said getting up
"Maryam?" I said her name concerned and she laughed "You must be Abbah. Of course I know you, I didn't just know you'd last this long. I've tried my possible best to get rid of you but no, you decided to compete with me" she said in a deep voice " Who are You?" "Her fiancee, actually her soon to be husband before you destroyed everything. I was just about to get wedded to her" she said

"Assalamu alayka!" The mallam greeted as she ignores "Please leave this body" the mallam pleaded "No one is ever separating from her" she said in that fierce voice "Has she ever done you wrong?" "None" she replied "Then why are you troubling this body?" He asked "I love her and I want to marry her" "Humans are made for humans as jinns are made for jinns. You should only marry your kind" the mallam I never got to know his name uttered and got ignored

He began to recite various ayahs of the holy Qur'an and she began to scream again "Stop please! Stop!!" She pleaded holding her ears and crying at the same time "Leave this body at once" he ordered "Never!" She said laughing and he began to recite again "You're hurting me. Stop!" She said, the mallams didn't heed and continued with their recitation "Abbah please help me" she pleaded with her eyes closed "Don't listen to her, it's not her speaking" one mallam advised as she began to laugh

"FINE!" She screamed "I'd leave but no-one would have her either" she said and before comprehending what she said, she had jumped out of the window
"MARYAM!" I screamed jumping after her and she began to run at the sight of me as I ran after her
"STOP PLEASE" I yelled behind her but she wouldn't listen

I was beginning to get tired of chasing her as I struggled to catch my breathe, she stopped in front of a bridge and stood by the edge, we really had ran miles "Please don't do this" I pleaded and she laughed "Sorry boy" she said and jumped "NOOOO!" I screamed, I dialled 114 and called for help. I watch Maryam sink, scared they might not make it on time, I tried to save her by jumping too. Only then I remembered that I don't know how to swim
