My recommendation for creating tension in a story, would be to add some sort of mystery that separates two different characters because of how different those two characters' ideas and opinions are. If you feel tension in the story, then your readers are bound to feel it too if you wrote it correctly.
The way to create tension in a story is to deny the hero his or her goals and dreams. The more you throw in the way of those goals, the more tension you'll have.
Authors use tension in a story to build up to the climax and to make the audience more attentive towards to story.

Pauses in drama can create tension but for this to work you need to have tension throughout your piece.
Anything can be a source of tension. As Kurt Vonnegut says, "Make sure your character wants something -- even if it's just a glass of water."So long as your characters want something and are prevented from attaining their goals, there will be tension.
