Good day to our readers, especially to our Patrons,

From May's sudden hiatus, we were suddenly given the chance to perform Hajj. From preparation phase to the actual pilgrimage, it took us from early May to end of July. For a Muslim, Hajj is the most important moment in our lives, and we can only perform it only once in our lifetime. We had been queuing up since 2008 for this moment (at that time, mrs.mooncat was only in my teens). Once returned, we were sick for quite some time and had so much work to clear.

Hence, although Hajj was over 2 months ago, mrs.mooncat was still unable to recover from its effect. So much stuff was delayed and needed to be prioritized first, with writing placed at the very bottom. mrs.mooncat simply didn't have the capacity to write even 2 chapters per month for now. For example, last Sept's work is still in progress, with the first chapter only half done. Feel like crying..

Hence, after thinking, mrs.mooncat had to make the decision to put ASTHW on hiatus until the end of Dec 2023. For patrons who already paid for this month (Oct 2023), expect 4 more chapters ahead of you (2 from Sept, 2 for oct) before I pause my Patreon account for the year. Once I pause, Patrons won't be charged on Nov 2023 and Dec 2023.

For our dearest readers out there, we will not be posting new chapters until the end of the hiatus. Really hope you guys will be patient, and see you again in 2024. Do pray for mrs.mooncat's wellbeing so that I can write a lot more. This is the challenge of writing when one didn't do it to get paid properly haha. mrs.mooncat is a full-time homemaker who takes care of her own kids from morning to night. We didn't get the help from helpers or our parents. At the same time, I also did direct selling to build a prosumer network during weekdays in between settling the children, attend seminars and classes during weekends. Soooo..busy busy busyyy... 

Sighh..

Take care and see you again :)
