Today, we'll be heading to Manila, then tomorrow going to KSA with a layover in Oman. We'll be performing Umrah, alhamdulillah. And yes, there's an ongoing war in the Gulf region, but since this is a religious journey, just putting trust in the Almighty, Tawakkul.
I'm writing again about this trip specifically because I want to tell myself, after this trip, that I'll be okay. I'm just worried that my period is a bit delayed, which means I might miss the Rawda visit in Medina, and possibly the Tawaf during Umrah in Makkah. Normally, my period should be here already, a few days ago, actually. I've done all the exercises that might help. As for the medicine to delay it, I don't think it's convenient to take that; I can't delay it for two weeks.... It's breaking my heart, i can't perform all the religious act having my period.
I'm actually excited about the umrah; I got to visit KSA with my mother, brother, and sis in law... Now, I'm a little sad. I was not able to plan activities while having a layover in Oman, coz I'm too bothered.
All I can do now is really to trust Allah's plan. Praying I'll be okay, and my family will be okay. alhamdullillah
