Atifa's pov:
'Three years. It is going to be three years since I last saw him. Since we last met. And honestly speaking, I'm not even sure how I feel about it. Or how I feel about the things happening around me. Three years is a long time. Longer than I had imagined us being away from each other.
I miss him, terribly. I don't even know how to explain it in words. In the beginning, my thoughts were usually occupied with him. What he might be doing or how he might be doing. If he missed me too. Or if he was alright. What… What was his mother's reaction? If she forgave him? She wasn't angry at him because of me, was she?
