Chapter Ten: Everything Changes.

                  ...ما قمت بإخفاء في قلبك قراءة في عيني

(What you hide in your heart is read in your eyes.)

~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••

We are leaving for Dubai today. I woke up in the morning for fajar prayers and Adam was not in the room. I wonder where he went...

I couldn't fall asleep after my prayers so I decided to read the Quran. Adam came into the room an hour later it was about seven o'clock and I had already finished reading the Quran.

"Assalam alaykum," he greeted me.

"Walikum Salam," I replied.

"I am from the mosque with  father," he said while putting his keys and wallet on the dressing table.

"Alhamdulliah," I said in my heart. He came and sat on the sofa where I was sitting. When he sat I immediately stood up. He held my wrist and pulled me back to sit. I didn't even look at him.

"Why don't you look at me when I am talking you to you?" He asked seriously.

"I don't know," I replied still not looking at him. Which annoyed him.

"Halaat can you stop this, It's rude..." he said.

I decided to look at him and he too stared at me. Our eyes meet and I noticed his stiff face and his dark brown soft hair well styled, his perfect face and mesmerizing eyes starring at me.

"Halaat go get ready the flight is at nine am," he ordered still looking at me. I got up and didn't say a word. I took my outfit from my suitcase and went to the bathroom and took a shower. I than wore my long floral skirt and my white top and got out of the bathroom. Adam was still on the sofa, in his on world I could describe.

I don't know why I feel so sad, it feels like his emotions affect me too. I know his not one for emotions but I know something is wrong.
I started combing my hair and I noticed Adam on his phone with his eyebrow raised.

"I avoid looking at you because I see many mysteries that I want to solve and I am afraid you have read my heart desires one to many times," I said while combing my hair. I observed his face, he remained silent and I too. After I finished combing my hair. I saw his reflection from the mirror, he stood behind me.

"I have passed by many eyes, but I only get lost in yours. I can't help if," he said. When I heard the words that came out of his mouth I instantly became thrilled. Staring at his reflection from the mirror our eyes meet and I got lost for a moment. Ugh why does he have to be so charming... He surely is my bittersweet.

I wore my hijab and went out of the room, I knew if I stayed any longer he would make my cheeks turn totally pink. I headed downstairs I found the whole family at the dinning table.

"Assalam alaykum Halaat," my mother in law said immediately when she saw me.

"Walikum Salam," I replied while smiling.

"Come join us for breakfast," Jamila said.  I sat next two Jamila and Mina, I started eating and I noticed everyone was done eating, people were just talking. Jamila left for work, I finished eating and we all went to the living room. Adam came down the the stairs, carrying his laptop bag.

"Assalam alaykum," he greeted everyone.

"Walikum Salam," we all replied.

"Halaat it's time to go," he said.

I smiled and stood up, I went to the room took my handbag. My suitcase was already taken. I went downstairs and Adam was standing by the door impatiently.

I got down stairs and everyone stood up to hug me goodbye. We got into the back of the 2016 BMW 7 series and the driver started driving, It is such an amazing car. The seats are so comfortable and it has mini screens. Adam was busy on his phone, Adam's words kept replaying in my mind. His words took over my heart and left me helpless and enchanted.

We reached the airport, we were taken directly to the runway, we didn't have to got through the normal procedures. I looked at Adam and than looked outside of the window. And I noticed a private jet and an air hostess standing next to the air stair. I didn't expect a private jet.

We got into the jet and we were given hot towels and refreshments of our likings. And the pilot started announcing details about the journey. After the announcement the jet took off, the whole time Adam was working on his laptop and I later fall asleep. This is my so called honeymoon I suppose...

We reached Dubai in a matter of hours, the view from the top was spectacular. The blue ocean and the tall buildings all beautiful. We got out of the private jet and entered into a limo. A literal limousine, I have never been in a limo. I noticed a helicopter flying around us and two black jeeps one behind the limo and the other in front.

We left the Dubai airport. I started taking pictures of the beautiful city. After half an hour of driving we finally reached the hotel. I got out of the car and Adam lead the way. I couldn't help but notice the beautiful fountains and the magical feeling of stepping on marble stairs. I also noticed a crowd standing by the entrance of the hotel, holding cameras, recording devices and some holding note pads.

What were paparazzi doing at the hotel... hmm maybe a celebrity is going to arrive. Adam walked so fast I could barely keep up with him. When the reporters saw him, they all started acting wild and loud.

'Adam what's your say on the financial crisis in your company?' One of the reporter asked.

Is that your wife? Adam what are doing to fix the financial problem in your company? So many questions being asked... I wasn't aware that we are the celebrities.

Why is everyone obsessed with Adam Abdullah?

We walked into the hotel and everyone became quiet when they saw Adam. Everyone including the guests. A bodyguard still followed us with a gun. A man went towards Adam and welcomed him back, he was wearing a suit and his name  badge said manger and his name stated Muhammad.

When we got into an elevator, we were heading for the highest floor. The penthouse. When the elevator doors opened, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Adam got off the elevator and I followed. I starred in amazement.

It's so beautiful, the pent house has luxurious flooring system, an oversized window made out of glass, it also has a beautiful terrace which has an amazing view of the skyline, a luxury kitchen, the dining table made out of granite.

It's just too beautiful, I didn't notice that the penthouse has its own elevator. I started exploring and I found myself on the second level of the penthouse where swimming pool is.

I went down stairs and went the room Adam was. The bed room was absolutely amazing, a king size bed with beautiful bed covers white and brown the material so fine. I even explored the bathroom, the shower had a view of the sky. It's so beautiful.

Omg! the best part, it has a walk in closet with a sofa and a table in the centre of the closet. I noticed they were clothes, abyas and dresses etc and they all had price tags and are all in my size also the shoes are new. Including the handbags and jewellery. The left side of the closet contained Adam's clothes.

Had Adam bought clothes for me without my consent? He surely knows how to leave me wandering...

Adam seemed to be used to all of this luxuries, he was just sitting on the sofa busy on his phone. He than left the bed room.

I got out of the bed room and I noticed another room next to the bed room, the door was open and Adam is in it, He's sitting behind his desk busy on the laptop. It's an office, so classy and chic.

I knew he was busy so I went on the terrace and starred at the beautiful view, I managed to see the sun set. I was busy looking at the view, and thinking of a lot of things. Let's say Adam is making a home in my heart.

I didn't realise Adam was standing besides me. I felt his warmth after a minute or more. I thought of all the things he did for me, and said to me. I realised I haven't thanked him enough to appreciate his kindness.

"Thank you Adam," I said still looking at the view.

"For what?" He replied curiously.

"Thank you for everything," I said. I turned towards him and I hug him, I only found secureness and warmth in his hug, but I swear his arms felt like home. He than held my face with his hands and kissed me on the forehead.

"For me, there is only you," he said in a silvery voice...
