"I love her so much, It physically pains me to imagine a life without her, I feel like I won't survive a single second, without her. I feel I am drowning and only she could save me, But here I am, drowning without her, and she'...

Realtor agent: I have three properties lined up as per your choices. Does tomorrow at four works for you?
It does, thank you.
I quickly put my phone down on the counter and rush in the room hearing Noor crying again.
"What's wrong, baby?" I check her temperature, it was normal now. Unlike yesterday when she had a bit high temperature.
She kept crying, flailing her arms and legs up. I pick her up in my arms and rub her back, after seeing the windows are closed, I realise she must be feeling hot.
I grab on newspaper and wave it as a fan on her face.
Her cries quiet down. I narrow my eyes at her. "You wanted Mama to come here and wave some air at you and don't do any work, don't you?"
She hums silently, tears still evident in her tears.
I wipe her tears and wave the paper near her face.
Summers were an absolute nightmare in this apartment. It's my second summer in here, last year was the most difficult. Having a newborn and facing heat in this room was the worst thing.
But I still am thankful for everything. I had a roof to hide, a safe place.
A sense of longing hits me. I would miss this house. No matter how much we had to face the setting sun's heat in my room, this house, this was my first own house.
I lived alone for the first time. On my own.
I would cry a lot when I would shift from here.
My phone lights up with a message, I smile looking at the selfie Mrs. Muqaddes send me, it was her standing by the bus stop, only her forehead was visible, on the back was a bus with passengers around it. Few of the passers looked at her with confusion.
I smile and texted her a heart emoji. Mrs. Muqaddes didn't knew how to text, she either send voice messages or send selfies and I respond with emojis.
She's coming back after almost spending the whole month in her village. She will stay until I find a new place and when I shift, she would go back to her village.
I put my phone down and look at the uneven edges of the crack hole on the window.
You can't always have the comfort in life.

I look around the house where the moist air made my hairs stick to nape.
