Disowned

Taaliyah shut herself out. 

"Taaliyah come have breakfast," Nara called her. Derek had come. But he remained silent while Nara kept calling her. "Taaliyah come out," Derek looked worried. Nara shook her head. Mike was getting ready to leave for work. He walked towards the room Taaliyah shut herself. 

"Taaliyah, work begins next week, don't forget, you can rest only a week more," he tried to encourage her before leaving. Nara walked him to the door. Derek followed the two, Nara was stepping out for work too. 

"I will stay and see if she comes," Derek said and remained in the house itself. 

"Okay, we will leave then, don't force her or hurt her," Nara warned Derek and left the place. 

Derek waited and waited. It was almost 1 in the after and she still did not come out. 

Derek knocked on the door. And sud the door opened. She stood in front of him. She was just expecting to see Derek either. 

"I.. ahh..." Derek did not know what to say.
