After mukthar dropped khair off, he went back home with the intention to talk to his father about him and khair.

The first thing his father asked was "is the result out?" after he replied his salam.

He nodded his head and sat close to him then streached out the hand that's holding the envelope to him.

His father collected the envelope and open it.

After checking the result he couldn't utter a single word, he folded his hands and continue watching the football match he was watching before mukthar came in.

"Umm... Baba ple..." mukthar started talking.

"Don't even finish that statement mukthar because we already warned you before this but you chose to turn a deaf ear to whatever we told you. Now who is to blame?" He asked.

"Yes baba I know it's my fault but I promise if you let me marry her we won't have many children, only one or maybe two. Please baba" he pleaded joining his two hands together.

"No mukthar I was once a doctor that works in a hospital and I witnessed how innocent children suffer and if you have for once took what we said seriously we wouldn't have been here today. You wouldn't have been hurt and you wouldn't be pleading with me today and as you said you won't give birth to many children don't you think that there is 100% possibility that the first or second child you'll give birth to can be a sickler? Look... Mukthar we can't risk any of our grandkids life you'll have to let her go" he concluded moving his gaze back to the television.

"Baba I know but please and please I'm begging you in the name of Allah (S.W.T) let me marry khair please baba. If I don't marry her I know I'm going to die before my time..."

"Subhanallahi... Are you out of your mind mukthar? Just because we are stopping you from marrying this girl that doesn't mean you'll start saying rubbish. Don't you have tawakkal? Don't you think this is a test from Allah? Don't you think that you're not ment to be her husband that's why you're been faced with this problem today?" He asked and continue saying

"But since you don't want to listen to what I'm telling you then you can go and marry her but before marrying her take a moment to think about your sister fadila. Can you remember how she struggled with her two sickler children? She's always on her way to the hospital. She has never rest even for a single day since the day she gave birth to them. Don't you think this is a punishment? Not only to the children but to the parent as well. Just put yourself in that position and imagine the pain she's in, the agony and how shattered she was when her child died as a result of this illness. Out of her three kids only one is healthy. I know it's her destiny but then why are you trying to punish your kids with your own two hands? I also know that we have no control over our destiny but we can certainly stop somethings that ain't beyond our power and you right here have an alternative. After you think about this and still desire to marry this girl come to me I'll gladly get you married to her... You can go" he said guesting his hand towards the door.

Mukthar came out of his father's sitting room with mixed emotions; on one hand was the happiness that he has been granted the permission to marry khair and on the other hand there was the sorrow he'll put both him and khair after she gives birth and the child turns out to be a sickler.

"I'll have to think about this carefully and make a wise decision because this is my life, khair's and our children's life at stake" he said in his mind.
