Radical militants continue to ravage Saeed and Nadia’s city.
One day when Nadia passes her family’s house, she sees that it looks deserted and wonders if her parents and sister have perhaps fled. The next time she walks by, the house has been
“crushed by the force of a bomb that weighed as much as a compact automobile and for the rest of her life, she wonders in vain what happened to her family.
During this time, Saeed’s boss is forced to go out of business, tearfully promising his employees that they’ll have jobs if the agency ever reopens.
Likewise, Nadia’s office stops giving out paychecks, and so the workers slowly trickle out.
