Mother: (With anxiety) early morning… your father told them that later the roads would be blocked and therefore they left earlier… Jawed… the reality is that your cousin Yasimin is a very good girl… I am telling to ask about her for you… what you are saying in this regard.
Jawed: (With anxiety) don’t disparage yourself… she is not going to marry me… from the other side I cannot fulfill the responsibility of a family…
Mother: (Unhappily) what are you saying… what deficiency you have from the other youngsters; no problem that your one leg is cut off… thanks to God… you have completed your studies… you have job… after a year you will also be graduated from university… why you are thinking low about yourself? Or you have someone else in your heart?
Jawed: (With anxiety) No mummy it is not the issue… Yasamin is a very good girl… but I don’t think that she will accept marriage with me…
Mother: (With Joy) Don’t say like this son… don’t see yourself in the lower category… thank your God that you are employed… you have income… you have good habits and behaviors… each and every girl is wishing to marry such a man… you know based on my understandings, Yasamin likes you…
Jawed: (With Joy) are you saying the truth?
Mother: Yes son… if you agreed… I will talk to your father so that he talk to your uncle… if it is like this then Yasamin can also go to university… it would be great… (Both of them laugh together)
