DERAILED✔️

12~

Abdallah got out of his room after breakfast all dressed up, but he wasn't going to work, he decided to take a week leave after the incident that happened to Nadia two days back, and he wasn't planning on spending it in Nigeria.

He knocked on Nadia's door, she has been locked up in her room since in the morning, she wasn't present during breakfast also, the door opened slowly revealing Nadia who looked like someone that hasn't had a good sleep for 10 days,

"salam alaykum" Abdallah said trying to get a glimpse of her room which she was always enclosed in,

"walaykum salam" she muttered lazily like she wasn't interested in a conversation with him,

"I'm going on a trip" he said folding the sleeve of his plain blue long sleeves T shirt which had little stripes on the chest area,

"okay safe journey" she said attempting to close the door, but Abdallah swiftly used his hand to stop the door from closing,

"wait" he said making Nadia stare at him with a questioning look "we are going together",

"what, how?" she asked looking at the squeezed dress she was wearing, "I'm not going",

"it's not like you have a choice" he shrugged, "go change now and meet me downstairs" he said with finality in his tone,

"I haven't packed any clothes, and I can't do that just now" she tried giving an excuse to escape going on this impromptu trip but it looked like Abdallah wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer,

"don't worry about packing any clothes, I give you 10 minutes to get ready" he said, she stumped her foot on the floor before closing the door,

"he's so arrogant, how can he force me" she muttered under her breath angrily before proceeding to pick a dress from her walk in closet.

Nadia walked towards Abdallah wearing a black long pleated skirt with a big loose chiffon blouse and a large thick veil properly wrapped on her head and upper chest, Abdallah's jaw dropped in admiration when he saw her, but he quickly adjusted himself, so it won't be glaring that he was ogling her.

"Are you ready?" he asked,

"yes" she answered,

"Let's go" he said gesturing with his hand towards the door.

Nadia wondered why he asked a driver to drive them instead of doing so himself, she sat very close to the window to avoid staying near him.

They got to the airport after a long ride, he only told her he was going on a trip, he didn't tell her their destination. She followed his guide until they boarded the plane, that was when she knew they were going to Turkey. Immediately, her mind went towards the cooking contest she totally forgot about which was coming up in two days time.

After a long journey of 9 hours which she slept halfway through, they finally got to the country's capital Istanbul, stepping out of the plane to breathe in the cool air eased her mind a bit, she was now happy Abdallah forced her to come with him, it might help her overcome the trauma she was having a hard time to get over.

Abdallah's heart tugged when he saw a small smile played on Nadia's lip, he knew it will work, he knew browsing for 'how to make a person overcome trauma' wasn't a bad idea.

A black limousine approached them some few minutes after Abdallah made a short call,

"after you" Abdallah gestured with his hand for her to enter the car first, she raised her long skirt slightly before entering into the sleek exquisite interior of the limousine, Abdallah got in after her and the driver drove off after Abdallah signalled him to proceed.
