That evening Ahmad and his mother ate their dinner in silence.
Suddenly on the door. Ahmad opened it. A man in a servant's uniform
stood outside. He said I'm from the house on the hill. My mistress
want to see Ahmad. "That's me" Ahmad said. The servant said. Can you
come with me now? Ahmad said "Yes", He was excited. He thought "perhaps Maria has changed her mind". Also his mother knew they are rich and her son is poor. So she was so worried about her son. Ahmad was excited and his heart was beating fast. Everything was rich and grand. There were beautiful carpets, pictures, and mirrors. Ahmad saw himself in a mirror. Ahmad went in front an old lady was sitting on a big chair. Maria stood behind her. The old woman was ugly. Her eyes was small and cold, and her mouth was thin and hard. She looks proud and angry. An old woman said you want to marry my daughter? Ahmad looked at her bravely said "Yes" I love her I want to marry her. The old woman laughed. She said "you! A poor student no money , no father, nothing ! My daughter will never marry you." Ahmad said nothing. He looked at Maria but she did not look at him.

He said I am poor now "But one day I will be a famous writer. The old woman laughed again. Then she said "No" My daughter is not for you. she is going to be married soon. You will never see her again. Then the old maria's mother got up and left the room. Maria and Ahmad were alone. Ahmad looked at Maria, but she did not look at him. She stood and did not say anything. Ahmad went to her and put his arm round her. maria moved away from him. she said I'm sorry Ahmad my mother is right. I can't marry you. I don't want to be poor. I want money and clothes and a big car. Ahmad said but you love me Maria, and I love you. I don't understand you. Maria said "yes" I love you Ahmad but love not enough. She looked at him. His face was sad. she said I'm getting married in two weeks goodbye Ahmad, I'm sorry. Ahmad left the big house and ran down the hill to the river. He sat there for long time and he got drank. he was sad and angry at the same time. He said she loves me but she marrying another man.
She is marrying him for money. It's her mother! Maria is afraid of that ugly woman!. Oh Maria, Maria, What shall I do? After long time Ahmad went home. There was a light in the window of the little house. The door was open. His mother was waiting him She looked at his face, then she put her arms around him. Then she said they are bad people, my son. you must forget her. You may find another girl who is better than her. For many days , Ahmad did not see any of his friends. His mother was worried about him. He did not talk to her. He didn't eat or sleep. He often went to the river sat there alone.
All times he thought about Maria. One day he saw a headline in the newspaper. Rich man's beautiful bride. There was picture of Maria and her husband. She was wearing a long white dress and diamond necklace. Her husband was old and fat. Ahmad turned the newspaper over.
