Uncertainty creeps into Hassan s mind after bidding his parents goodbye. The agent quickly drives off, and contrary to expectation, drives past the Airport junction. Hassan learns that he is to use an alternative travel means, by road then by sea. Back home, Hassan s happy parents can t wait for their son to start supporting them like their neighbors do from abroad to their relatives back home. Only the agent has an idea of how the journey will be. For Hassan, it is shock as reality starts setting in. One difficulty after another but despite all these, he still has high hope of making it to the greener pasture.
