We sat in the car and went out of that blind school. I wished my father should meet Eva before I marry her. But the meeting had failed. My father angrily said, “You can’t marry her like that. She is blind…” This made me furious. “Then do something so that she can see,’ I shouted.

Although she hoped that I would change my decision. Mom came into my room. “Of all people Eva understands me the best. She says I have brought sunshine in her life. Now if I left her, she would sink back in darkness,” I said to her.
“Your father cared for your happiness more than you know. Don’t get angry with him, it is bad for his health,” she said lovingly.
