In a modest apartment in DHA, a man discusses his long struggle with gambling—how it started with casual bets on horse races and slowly unraveled into financial instability and strained relationships. He speaks calmly about the impact on his work, marriage, and the quiet distance that grew between him and his parents. Mid-conversation, a loud explosion outside cuts through the moment, shifting the tone as sirens and shouting fill the street—a jarring reminder of how quickly control, in any form, can be lost.
