Haunted by Memories
Surviving loss and seeking solace in a new city
The earthquake on October 8, 2005, in AJK, left many people broken.
It rocked the mountains and caused the rivers to reroute resulting in 80,000 fatalities and thousands of injured people.
Jamal is among them. He lost all of his family members in that incident. His stay in a rehabilitation facility was intended to improve his mental health.
Although he came back to life, memories of his loved ones remained stuck in his mind. He found it hard to live there so he chose to shift to another city far from his hometown, where his heart bleeds on every earthquake.

Short story: After I left, I went to the father and left the son
My mother warned me before she died: "unmarried pregnancy, men are big-headed pigs, do not know the height of the sky." So I made it my priority to find a father for my son, and that's when I met Fu.
