“This treat was demanded by Hadia because due to Hassaan’s tough routine they were not able to spend quality time together.”

““Yes, yes, we know the last time you set on making friends, you totally became the bad sort yourself,” her father teased her.”

“Coming down the pike they started to joke on each other, discussed their life and also went to commemorate the time they had together while partaking giggles.”

“When we reached home, I ran to my room and called my friend, Asim, to ask him if he knew anything about the trucks.”

“"Dude chill, we know how these wadeyras are," muttered my friend while pulling me down, "the last thing we want is their attention".”

“Also, my sincere gratitude goes to the platforms like Young Women Writers’ Forum, and Words and Metaphors for giving me a chance to come across many aspiring people who have now become great friends.”

“To make a system of one's life, one has to trust their own handwriting that is the most important part of one's life.”

“Thanks to his mother's savings, a piece of land that his father snagged through illegal means (for sure), and with his friend's guidance he got hold of a visa for USA.”
