Ali had no other option to take her out from that he'll than to marry her .
The very next day , on Thursday , his parents along with Ali went to her house to offer the proposal of marriage . And Maria's father accepted it immediately , what was going on in his head was something he only knew .
" The kids love each other , and besides , we also adore Maria , and she won't come at our home as a bride but as our own daughter ." Said Ali's mother .
After some more chit chat and discussions it was decided that on Friday , Ahmed and his son Zubair will visit Ali's house .
" Maria will be so happy to hear this news , I'll tell her right away " said her mother ,
" wait , do tell her but , not the name of the groom , we'll keep it as a surprise " said her father
" Okay , and shall I now take her out....."
" No , she'll stay there for few more days , I just accepted for the proposal , I'm still not over the fact that she used to secretly meet a boy out in the fields" with that said Ahmed went out of the house .
Maria was informed that she'll be married in a matter of days , and all she could think of was that she could not survive without Ali .
