Well, I did it. Let come what may come. So what if I died. It wouldn't matter to me, since the people left behind are the ones who mourn. But since no one knows what will go out on the grapevine, I decided to keep my act to myself. No doubt, people would be whispering behind my back that I had gone nuts. So I decided to continue for a while without confiding in anyone and wait until I found myself getting better before telling others. So far the only person who knew was my mother. And Hamid.
I wondered whether Hamid had kept his promise and decided to call him later. After all, it ws still 5:00 a.m. and too early to wake him up. I returned from the bathroom and got into my sleeping bag again to allow the urine to settle down in my stomach. After a bit, the heartburn-like sensation diappeared. Instead, I felt satiated, as though I had just eaten a full meal. I also felt peaceful, as though wrapped in a warm pouch of some kind-like a womb or perhaps the pouch of a kangaroo. I drifted off to sleep and didn't wake up until 10:00 in the morning.
