Chapter 174

Atifa's pov:

Closing the door, the nurse wheeled the wheelchair inside before helping me sit on the bed. Looking around, I realised the room was empty, Amira and Saad nowhere to be seen. Getting confused, I wondered where they could have gone at this time.

Giving a grateful smile to the nurse, I leaned back on the bed, my thoughts going haywire once again. The fact that ammi hid her problems from us hurted me. It made me feel like I was of no use because I couldn't even be there for her when she needed me the most.

Yeah, she was pushing us away, but couldn't I have just stuck around and pursued her to tell me what the matter was? I'm her daughter! At least I should have known what was going on with her! Why was she so distant and cold! Why was she pushing us away!

I can't believe I just acted so distant and unbothered about her! We did what she wanted us to do, lost our attachment with her as she wallowed in guilt, hurt and pain herself.
