... taken

this entry has nothing to do with my new chapter in life ... but an important one as is.

my biras was kidnapped last saturday night :-(

he just got back from overseas, went home for lunch and went to visit the factory office instead of HQ. on his way home, his car was intersected by another car & 2 outriders. a shot/shots were fired (various news reports) and he was taken away from his car. his driver & bodyguard were left behind and are now detained for questioning.

it has been more than 48 hours now and we are just beside ourselves, hoping for the best outcome that he is safe & unhurt.

my sil is in karachi all alone with her kids & inlaws. we want to go but there are some concerns. we need an invitation to get a visa. we also do not want to impose on everyone with our presence although all we want is to give our support. i am sure their house is now swarm with police plus waiting for the abductors' call & demand. any communication we sent to my sil is kept to a minimum in case the bad guys call.

we are praying so hard for his safe return. this feels so surreal. Ya Allah, please bring him home safe & unhurt.
