Two bullets fired fourteen years apart have come to define Bunny's life and his relationship with his father.

All Babar 'Bunny' Ali ever wanted was a chance to bond with his father, with whom he shares a love for books. When the prospect of an adventure comes up out of the blue, Bunny jumps at the opportunity. However, everything changes one night when a random bullet, deep in the heart of the jungle, completely transforms their lives.

Fourteen years later, on a dark night, an unexpected phone call gives Bunny an opportunity to set things right. But he will have to open old wounds and revisit the wrongs of the past. As he sifts through the rubble of his childhood memories, picking up the fractured pieces, he must journey within to find the path that brings him home.

Can Bunny find a way to rejoin the two halves of his life? Can the bonds of love survive the hurt of past mistakes?

About the author

Muhammad Ali Bandial

Hi, I'm Muhammad Ali Bandial, an award-winning author, writer, editor and bureaucrat, whose writing has appeared in The Friday Times, The News, Khaleej Times, DAWN and more.

I hold an MPA from the National University of Singapore and worked for more than a decade in the Civil Services of Pakistan where I held a number of portfolios including a brief stint in the National Counter Terrorism Authority. Talking with jailed radicals, victims of extremism and many other interesting characters, I was reminded of how each person has a unique story that sometimes gets brushed over with broad strokes. I got to expand my canvas through my interaction with brilliant characters, some good, some brilliant, all interesting during my journey. I write about character-driven stories, based on actual people with their flaws, idiosyncrasies, leanings and motives.

In my spare time, I love to sketch. I’m a die-hard tennis player, a foodie and a one-time soccer player with a busted knee.

I live with my wife and daughter and would love to hear from readers, so please feel free to contact me.
