Tensed, sat Sophy and her friends in her room.
They were all ready to leave for Gombe state that morning and as agreed everyone showed up before 5:30 except Tauhida.
They decided to wait for a moment and kept trying her phone but couldn't get through her.
No one picked the call.
"I think I'll have to call off this one, we can't all leave when we don't know what happened to her. We all know Tauhida wouldn't just not come and definitely wouldn't refuse to pick our calls, I'm worried" Humaira said reaching to a decision to stay back.
"That's what I was thinking about, Tauhida of all people won't miss my departure for the world except something's definitely wrong" Sophy commented.
Everyone in the room who knew Tauhida were feeling restless, they knew that even if she didn't come then she'll definitely pick the call or at least call back once.
Humaira also tried calling Imran but he informed her he was on his way back to Abuja.
"I know right" Zeezee also commented.
"You all should not worry, when I get through her we'll definitely make it up to you. After all we're going to Gombe in two weeks for Naiya's graduation so we'll visit okay?" Humaira said to them before picking up her bag and luggage.
"Okay sure, take care please and give us a call immediately you meet her" Sophy said.
"Sure thing, safe journey" Humaira replied before leaving.
She met Shafiq outside trying to leave for his home and he offered to drive her to Tauhida's place.
After a while, Sophy was summoned by the elders and they had the series of advises and warnings before they finally left for Gombe state - without the two.
Meanwhile, imran called to ask for Sayf's help after trying everyone's number back at his home.
He also knew it was unusual so he pleaded with him to check on them before he makes it back to Abuja.
For the world of it, Sayf wouldn't refuse to.
Reaching the gate to Tauhida's home, Sayf got out of his car and started knocking on the door.
He knocked for a while with no response before he gave up and gave Imran a call.
"Captain I don't think anyone is home, no one is opening the gate for me to enter" Sayf said immediately imran picked the call.
"That is something that never happens, there is always a gateman at the gate to open up for everyone and he never leaves. Try knocking again" Imran replied.
"On a second thought, break into the house. Anything could have happened and if that stupid man was using the toilet, slap him on my behalf" Imran replied.
He was annoyed but worry was the exact thing fuelling his anger. Even if Sayf doesn't slap the gateman, he was sure to.
"Okay" Sayf said after he nodded and realised Imran wasn't anywhere near him.
Sayf did the needful of knocking again for some moment and that was when Shafiq's car pulled over beside Sayf's car.
Humaira immediately rushed out of the car to check what was going on.
