If You Must Love Me

Coming to America with high expectations characteristic of any first time visitor to the country, Jafaar never anticipated a rough start. Not immediately after his arrival anyway. Having heard of America as the beacon of hope to other nationals; a country where things just work perfectly, he had anticipated a smooth start - until his friend Ahmed, with whom earlier arrangements had been made, left him stranded at the airport.
