My personal narrative about the topic of love and sweet sorrow

I remember my friend Adam who was a Jehovah's Witness, a Christian who fell in love with a beautiful Muslim girl but they faced some obstacle because of their religion and some family traditions.

The girl, i'll call her Aheeshah loved Adam but her family were strict Muslims who demanded that Adam say the Shahada and become a Muslim if he wants to marry her. To make matters worse, Adam's Jehovah Witness law declares that it is extremely important an useful to get married to a fellow Jehovah Witness although his parents had no problems with Aheeshah.

Adam and Aheeshah were restricted because of religion and could not find a middle ground where they could compromise. Unfortunately,  Aheeshah was killed in a hit and run incident two years ago and while the death did not entirely change their views about Adam, it made them more tolerant of him and his religion because of the uncertainty of death. However, Adam was heartbroken and bitter, but sometimes life can be cruel.
