Suryast, Pakistan,

early October 2001

Johar dared not say how sick Bija had been, dared not mention Suryast, the Taliban's capture of Daq, or that they might be searching for Johar as well, for who knew into which hands this letter might fall? At least Maryam would know him by his handwriting. More news of American bombings spread through the camp within hours. Kabul had been hit, as Johar knew it would be. He felt ill when they said a bomb had struck the radio station where Aman worked. The airfield near Baghlan was also hit. Even here, above Suryast, there was a constant drone of warplanes and distant smoke from mortars.

Nils, the ICRC nurse from Switzerland, promised to carry Johar's letter to Baghlan on his way north. Johar provided directions to Maryam's compound and Ramila's as well. Maybe she would have news of his aunt. With a kiss to the paper, Johar thanked Nils and placed the note in his hand.
