Atifa's pov:
The day following that day, I woke up with a terrible headache with body pain and the feeling of nausea hitting me with full force. Actually, the feeling of nausea was the reason for me to wake up at three at night and empty my stomach. I didn't know if it was because I missed our home or due to the continuous cramps or due to lack of sleep or if I overworked myself or if it was just food poisoning. Whatever the reason was, it wasn't intentional.
And even if I tried to, I couldn't sleep after that. The feeling was so prominent that I kept sitting up every once in a while, just to lay down again. And by the time I woke up ammi for fajr, I had already thrown up twice and my body seemed too tired to function properly. But choosing not to tell her about this at that time, I headed back to our room.
