"You guys should take care of yourselves" Hajia maryam said facing the new couple. Hajia maryam and her husband accompanied Nadia and Abdallah to the front of the house to bade them goodbye as they left for their new home,

"we will insha Allah" Nadia replied since Abdallah didn't respond,
Hajia maryam gave her a wide smile in return,

"Goodbye ummi" Abdallah said, before heading to his black Mercedes-Maybach completely ignoring his dad presence,

Nadia didn't know why he did that, but from what she has noticed, he seems not to have a good relationship with his dad,

"Goodbye ummi, goodbye abi" Nadia said slightly bowing in both their directions, before she followed Abdallah who has already ignited his car.

She stood beside the car contemplating whether she should seat at the front or back because his looks alone petrifies her even if he's beyond handsome.
She ended up opening the front door and seating there uncomfortably, deliberately avoiding his gaze,

"you really wanted to seat at the back?" he asked, "am I your driver or something?" he gritted his teeth, but she didn't reply, she only nodded negatively.
He revved his engine on purpose and speedily drove out of the compound.

They arrived at their new home after about 25 minutes of swift driving, which Abdallah did purposely to terrify Nadia, but instead he found her smiling as though she were enjoying it. The gate man wheeled the gate over its railing after the honk sounded,

"ranka ya dade (may your life be prolonged)" the gate man happily said, throwing his hands up while hailing him,

Abdallah flashed him a smile and waved at him in return,
Nadia looked at him surprised when she saw the faint smile on his face, but it disappeared after a second,

"So, he does smile" she thought to herself, she didn't know why that thought gave her an ounce of hope.
They both got out of the car at the same time like they planned it, but it was purely coincidental.

The view of the exquisite building became clearer as she stood in front the house, she followed Abdallah's lead, timidly entering into the house.

The house wasn't a mansion but a simple and exquisite duplex. At the entrance, they met with a small lobby painted ash, with two black sofas on each side of the wall.
In front of the lobby, there was a huge living room with a lot of cool but expensive designs, it contained a huge curved TV, a shining golden chandelier, four sets of comfy nude coloured sofa, everything complemented each other perfectly. Nadia likes the house because it's a combination of gorgeousness, coolness and easy maintainability. Abdallah undeniably has a good taste.

Nadia continued following Abdallah behind until he climbed the stairs, there were about four doors upstairs, she didn't know which will be her room because she definitely knows she can't share a room with Abdallah.

At least not yet.

"That'll be your room" he pointed to the door immediately after the stairs,
"this is mine" he said pointing at the door opposite Nadia's room, "In case you need anything important" he said stressing the 'anything important', she understood perfectly his words beyond his imaginations.

She got into her room and she loved it immediately she set her eyes on it, the room was painted dark brown, it had a large king-sized bed which was perfectly laid with cream bed spread and a dark brown duvet, a bedside wardrobe which had a mirror, Nadia walked inside closing the door behind her. She saw a door as she scanned the room, she slightly bent the handle and pushed it open,

"absolutely perfect" she muttered as she was met by a walk in closet, she saw different types of shoes, bags, Abayas, hijabs and all.
Staring at it was bringing back old memories, and she didn't want that, she quickly shook her head and closed the door.
