NOTE: THIS STORY IS FICTITIOUS .

They were not new residents of south chicago . Imran and hauwa have spent their whole connubial life there . A life that everyday brings forth a new pain . every chapter is written with tears and denied hope . A community where despise and condemnation is a pledge the affluent holds firm . they do not wish to raise their children in such a ghetto filled with so much pain and misconduct but fate has chosen it for them.

The community was divided into parts. A reserved resident for the whites and the ghetto for the blacks . but even this ghetto had restrictions as the locals were not meant to associate with the muslims or take them as allies . so they learn to adapt to the community that was far from neighborly . Amidst this hardship and antagonistic society they find happiness in the eyes of their children . omar, kwairah and Hassan .

The two elders that have accepted the fate they were born in and annul their desire for education or alteration . But Hassan was desperate, he sees no reason why he shouldn't get opportunities like the rest . But some sacrifices has to be made to achieve certain goals .
