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.

#LahoreAttack "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.....
