Tazaad A Short Story by Shazia Rana. She was listening to Abida Perveen lying on the bed. Her eyes were focused on some unknown point. Suddenly when she tried to move out as if she had remembered something, she heard her mother and grandmother talking. She came to know that her grandmother has come to their home today. Her grandmother was consoling her mother, “the way you are telling me your stories, and it looks like some problem is coming ahead towards this house.” Mother agreed to her thinking on something, “I was also thinking on this aspect. Mom, whether you believe or not, since the time Raamis went abroad and Sahira got married to a well-off family, all the jealous relatives have focused their eyes on us.”
