Taaliyah indeed have nothing to tell him. She just ignored him for the rest of the day. But she remembered to take the bouquet back home. She looked at and found a vase to preserve it for few days.
"Who gave that?" Nihala, her mother asked.
"It was welcome thing from school," she lied. Taaliyah quickly showered, changed into fresh pair of clothes and laid on her bed.
"Come eat something," called her mother again.
"Ha umma.. coming," but Taaliyah did not move. She must laid there staring at the ceiling. She recalled what happeend the whole day. Seeing Derek again. She was pissed. He kept doing the same again and again and she felt tried. She had no idea what she should do and decided to avoid him. "How long is he staying here this time? What is happening to him? Does he not have work? Why is he back on vacation again.
