Destined for Something.

This story is based on a true story. The arranged marriage of two teenagers, from two different parts of the world. Shakeel is an American - Pakistani boy who grew up in the streets of Brooklyn, NY and Saima is from Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. 

1996 in Brooklyn; one afternoon in Shakeel's mom's fabric shop, ladies that knew his mom would come and sit and chit chat about this and that blah blah with and most of the topics were about their kids and how most of them aren't doing good in school and how they aren't worried about becoming something in life. 

While in Pakistan; at a very young age Saima went to an Islamic school where she was being taught to memorize the Quran Pak.
