Maria told everything to Ali , about how her father was planning on getting her married . It was indeed a very big problem .
They sat there thinking for a solution
“what is happening in here ?” she jumped as she heard the familiar voice .
Ali stood up with trembling hands and looked at Maria's brother and father standing a few feet away from them .
She turned around and stood up ,
" d...d ... Dad"
Her father slapped her and said " shut up you disgrace "
Ali had no idea what to do , he couldn't watch her cry like that .
It was all si confusing for once he heard his name and then he felt a large punch on his face . He stumbled down with a stinging jaw .
Maria pleaded her father to not hurt him , she was crying , Ali wanted to see her but the continuous punches on his face , stomach were making him unconscious .
He felt a hard blow of a rod on his head and the last person he saw before he was drowned in the darkness was Maria's injured face .
Her father pulled her hair and brought her to their house .
She felt a hard slap on her face by her father , tge blood oozed out from her lips .
" Who was that guy ? Tell me ? "
He pulled her hair , as her mother tried to stop , her father slapped her as well .
Maria couldn't see her mother in pain , so with the stinging pain she said " he is Ali , I .... Dad . . I ... Lo...Ve him " she felt a hard punch on her jaw and was sipped into darkness .
Ali woke up with a jolt he was in his room with his mother sitting beside him .
He felt pain in his whole body , it was really very hard for him to move even a little bit .
All the things which happened came like a blow in his head and he screamed and started crying , his mother came to him and said
" shhhh .. its okay . Now sleep sleep , its fine shhh “ and he slept again .
