The 19-year-old girl stood her ground, her voice trembling yet firm. "No... Nooo... nooooo... I'm not going to marry anyone. Please, try to understand," she pleaded, her eyes scanning the faces of her family, hoping for even a flicker of empathy.
Across the room, an old man-his face weathered by time and pain-looked at her with teary eyes. "Can't you do this one thing for me?" he asked softly, his voice heavy with emotion.
A pause followed, thick with unspoken tension. Then, in a voice cracked by sorrow, he added, "Now I understand... you don't want to see me happy, do you? If my happiness doesn't matter to my own family, then fine... I won't ask you to marry him."
His words hung in the air, laced with heartbreak and resignation, echoing through the silence that had fallen over the room.
