The phone bell rang ominously almost at 5 am. I felt apprehensive but somehow managed to pick up.
My friend from Pakistan asked without any greetings, "Is your family alright in Lahore?"
On hearing her horrified voice,a tidal wave of panic ran through my spine.

"What happened" I asked, she just said, "Turn on the TV" and hung up.
Horror stricken I turned on the TV and it was broadcasting live, the terror attacks on two Ahmadiyya Mosques in Lahore.
I was completely numb....the only thing I felt was that I may die of this pain.....

My father & brothers used to go to Baitul Noor & never missed Jumma.
My brother used to perform security duty at the main gate of the mosque.
I kept sitting silent & numbed for sometime that seemed ages. Then I mustered some courage to call my father. He picked up the phone

recollecting memories of May 28, 2010. A thread:
Today marks 10 years of an incident we can barely speak of in our house without teary eyes and a heavy heart. An incident that would forever change our lives.

10 years ago, seems like yesterday, was the horrific day when 94 people were shot and killed because of their faith in Lahore, Pakistan. I remember being woken up by my mom whose voice was trembling as she was giving me the news of two of Ahmadi mosques being attacked in Lahore.
The first thought in my mind of course was if my husband @AzharBharwana (who was in the process of being sponsored to Canada) was ok. The first thing I did was call him. My heart skipped a beat with every bell that rang and went unanswered
