As the
first female member of the bomb-squad, Liza was often the object of attention.
Initially,
when she seemed lost in wires, onlookers remarked, “Women are not wired for this!”
But, Liza
never gave up.
-----
The squad’s
young leader seemed to understand her perfectly.
He knew what
drove Liza.
Her husband
was one of the innocent victims of a bomb-blast.
His father
too had been killed...
-----
Liza took
the initiative.
“Are you
sure?” her leader asked taking her hand in his.
“Trust me, Boss.”
“Yes, Mom”,
he said as Liza cut a wire.
