Talking about it, she said, “My whole family lives in Karachi, I was living with my sister after my parents death, she took me to the old home. Well, I am still hopeful that she will soon come to me and will take me with her. I will say to her, ‘don’t stop here for a single minute, let’s go back home’. I will hold her hand tightly and would take her towards the gate, so that she doesn’t waste time in further discussions, I will hold her tightly, so she won’t leave me again. I think no one will come to meet me on Eid but yes, I am hopeful, as Allah says, never lose hope”. Here is the link to the video:
