Father: You cannot marry my daughter. You are AS, and she is AS. Boy: Sir, I love your daughter. We've been together for four years. Father: I know. But have you thought about the children you want to have? Boy: Yes, sir. That's why I wanted us to talk. Father: My neighbour has a son with sickle cell disease. I've watched that family struggle with hospital bills for years. The boy is always in pain, and his parents are exhausted. I don't want my daughter to go through that. Boy: I understand, sir. But neither of us chose our genotype. Father: I'm not blaming you. I'm trying to protect my daughter and her future children. Boy: So you want me to leave her after four years because of something neither of us chose? Father: I don't have an easy answer. I just don't want you both to ignore the risk. Boy: Sir, we're willing to speak with a genetic counsellor and understand our options. Father: And if you discover that having children together carries a serious risk? Boy: Then we will have to decide what is best for our future. But please, don't make that decision for us before we've even had the chance to understand our options. Father: Let me think about it. He left the house, unsure whether he would ever be accepted into the family. Four years together. Marriage plans already made. Now, everything was uncertain. But the next day, the girl's father called him back.
