Chapter 74

Atifa's pov:

The next day arrived after a long night, a night during which I couldn't sleep due to my high fever and body pain. Add to it the feeling of homesickness and nausea. I knew the moment the feeling of homesickness struck me, that I wouldn't be spared by its clutches. Another reason could be me stressing out too much about him. About them both. And in the end, it did make me sick.

Sighing, I got up from my makeshift bed, ready to distract myself and keep my mind busy. The whole night was enough for me to overthink about things and worry about them. I didn't want to do the same thing even after waking up.

And wasn't it said, 'Overthinking is from Shaytaan?' I should have at least tried to stop myself from thinking much about things. I didn't know if I would ever be able to succeed but at least I could try? One step at a time. And something was definitely better than nothing, right?
