A Fiction... Chinh Bao was a jolly young man from Vietnam doing his post graduation from Columbus university Washington.. so was Farah Sultana a pretty desert beauty from Egypt.. While Bao was a party going easy to amuse boy Farah was much more reserved and measured in her attitude coming from a strick sunni background.. But inside her mind she admires the easy going always smiling Chinh Bao .. Nature and cupid slowly brought the two young people from two ends of the world closer.. their friendship grew with time until one day Bao declares his love for Farah.. The young couple started to spend more time together and started to effect on each others attitude.. it seemed Bao has grown up suddenly n is now much more reserved than before while Farah started using cosmetics more than she ever did before.. While waiting for their degree they found themselves part time job in a supermarket to supplement their scholarship... Their days went on smoothly between studies n work n gardens n other amusements that their lean pocket permitted.. On day after too many beers Bao suddenly went down on his knees and very dramatically asked Farah... Will you marry me .. Farah though happy didnt replied but seemed lost in thought... and took leave.. Bao was bit confused at her sudden change of mood.. Next morning when they met at the college canteen Bao timidly enquired.. what happened ? Farah with her eyes fixed to the tip of her shoes replied.. we shall discus later on.. In d evening when they met at the supermarket between breaks she told him.. My parents wont agree... They are very conservative.. But there is a way out.. If u convert to Islam just officially then I might be able to convince my parents.. Bao with his usual cute smile replied is that all ? And gave a small laugh holding her palms.. When shall I became a Muslim ? He enquired.. Are you serious ? O yes 100% .. for you my love I can go to Antarctic... No Bao you must think over , dont be so compulsive.. What is think about ? I was never religious and one religion is as good as another.. only the name of god changes.. and they decided to meet an Imam and fixed a date for conversion and marriage.. Their marriage was a simple affair attended by a few selected friends as they both didnt had relatives in this foreign land.. They rented a very small apartment which will be their heaven. Days and months flew away in love and romance.. and at last they both landed jobs as young executive..
