Saad's pov:
"Okay give me the journal, let's go now. Bohot padh liya aaj ke liye aur tumhari ammi ki journal itni jaldi khatam nahi hone wali hai."
(We have read enough for today and your mom's journal isn't going to end so soon.)
"W- wait a minute. I- I don't want to read everything. I just want to read the last entry." Just as I was about to grab the journal from her, she held it tightly, refusing to give it to me.
"But we are getting late." I frowned.
"Just a few more minutes?" She pleaded, her gaze soft and hopeful.
"Okay give it to me. I will read it." Sighing, I gave in.
"N- no, it's okay. I- I will read it." She shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
"Okay fine. But at least stop crying. How are you going to read it otherwise?" I grabbed the journal from her hands softly. Turning to the last entry written in this mystery world, I contemplated reading it with her or not.

Daniyal…
It has been quite hard since the last few days. I- I have been forgetting things and- and my reflexes are getting slower. I'm just glad that Atifa and Amira haven't found out about my condition yet.
It's hard to keep my worsening condition away from them so that's why I have been trying to work overtime for a while. But I'm scared of people finding out about my illness because of my forgetfulness there too…
Honestly, it has gotten so bad that I couldn't even remember which day it is. I have to constantly check my mobile for it. At my work too, I have to keep reminders as soon as I'm assigned a work so that I don't forget about it. Even then, sometimes I get carried away because of some things or the other and forget about some things. I'm just glad that I'm not fired yet.
But I'm thinking of resigning from my work before anyone finds out anything.
And even at home, I try to keep myself confined in my room as much as possible, trying my best not to get involved with our princesses much. I miss them, I miss them so much! But it's better for them to stay away from me.
You know, I have been pretty cold with them. Like, not replying to them normally and snapping at them or scolding them. That's the reason why they have stopped interacting with me much. Although it hurts, I'm glad that they haven't gotten attached to me much.
And today, when I was rushing to my car after work, I almost got hit by a car. I know I know I have become careless, but it wasn't my fault! It was dark outside. There are no street lights or anything there! But alhamdulillah the car stopped in time and only my knee was scraped.
That driver offered to take me to the hospital but it was already late and Atifa and Amira were waiting for me. I couldn't afford to go to the hospital and waste my time. Afterall, it was just a scrape on my knee, right? I could look at it at home too. Thankfully, one of my colleagues came to my rescue and helped me to my car before leaving. He is a pretty nice guy, always trying to help others out.
Anyway, when I was going to have dinner, I- I somehow lost my grip and the bowl went crashing down. I was startled because it never happened before, at least not when I was at home. I was scared that maybe Atifa and Amira would question me. So I did whatever came to my mind; shouted at them and taunted them. I want them to hate me anyway, right?

Spiritual(EDITED) "Ok ma'am, maybe you are right. But what do you want from me? Why have you even kidnapped me?" I glared at her, annoyed. I can't believe I'm agreeing with her right now. "Oh nothing much baby boy, I just want you to get married to my daugh...
