Try the following:
Save the cropped area somewhere in the root directory of your media (make sure the path is absolute):
story.save(settings.MEDIA_ROOT + 'something.jpeg')
Then simply set the image name for the image field and save the object. This time, the path should be relative, as it will be used for the image URL (I assume that you are already serving your media files):
obj.image_field.name = '/media/something.jpeg'
obj.save()
