Why?” Already stuck and not doing much to follow through, I thought, it’s time to lose, let’s move on.

“This is maktoob… for a girl who has never been in a car before, she travels on a private jet. That’s Nasib, Kismat. We wouldn’t use private jets, but flying commercially is too dangerous because COVID-19 is at its peak. This is the most practical solution at the time.
