"Aly, dear......", she hugged her daughter,

"Please give it some thought, my love. Your father and I talked about this. Your father is very weak, Ally. He keeps getting heart attacks every so often, these past few months. He cannot work like he used to", her mom explained.

"Mr Klaus is also a nice man. He told your father that he would gladly support us dear, and your father doesn't need to work frequently", her mom whimpered.

"Honey, I'm not selling you off. But try to look at the bigger picture, love. Your dad would still consistently be in and out of the hospital. We can't afford that, dear. I really hope you understand, hun," she continued.

"Look at Bryan, he is only in his second year, he is going to attend another two more years in university

"Look at Bryan, he is only in his second year, he is going to attend another two more years in university. Aly, look at yourself too, baby. You only started work, your pay is not going to be high and it would take some time to get promoted. Of course, I wouldn't disturb your sisters, they already have their own families to take care of. They still do provide some money to us but not much, Aly. Please Aly, I beg you to think this through", her mom wept.

Alyqa stares at both of her parents and hugged them.

"Please Aly, for us", her father wished to her. He kissed Alyqa's head and a tear dropped his left eye as he closed them tightly shut. He stroked his daughter's head as if she was still in her young age.
She was his baby.

Alyqa sobbed loudly.

Alyqa walked out of her parents' bedroom.

She felt light-headed and her heart sank deepest to the bottom of her heart.

She went into her room with heavy steps.

She closed the door.

All she thought was "This is serious. Marriage is serious. Am I ready?" Her face began to worry. She then, heaved out a sigh.

She looked up into the dark sky and stared at the beautiful perfect moon. It was bright and clear placed on a dark-like canvas.

"Please God, tell me if this is right. I am praying to you, to ask you if this is meant to be?" Alyqa asked to the surrounding air with her silent tears, rolling down her face. Her hands clasped together.
