The Tale of a Private lesson Teacher...Episode 28
]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
arrived. 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
great 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 act
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 of
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…………..
