{ (1st) First Place Winner of Obstacles in a Pakistani Arranged Marriage Contest by AmbassadorsPK #TrialsofLove }

Honour keeps humanity alive and humanity hails kindness. In the midst of a society with sharp jaws that can rip you to shreds, a fathomless pit that can never be truly satisfied or content afrbe two people, fated by destiny and thrown together by the meddling hands of their intrusive family.

To the eye it's a typical tale, an arranged marriage and a couple that can not come to terms with it's blatant injustice but there is a spark of desire, attraction and a sense of belonging that they can not shrug off.

Sarah Altamish and Saahir Malik lead us into a short tale of acceptance, duty, compromise and the obstacles they have to face.

Because they are honour bound...
