"What, come again, so that's what this is about?" he said quietly as if trying to fully comprehend what she had just said..."after all that happened between us, is this how much you understand me eh..?" he was beginning to sound angry and upset ...he shook his head and reached out for her hand prying it open so he could hold it. "honestly I can't believe you think that low of me" suddenly he gets up and grabs her by her shoulder, he gives her an almost murderous look saying "I would never consider an abortion, a baby is Allah's gift, how could you think I would take that gift lightly" he grips her shoulders tightly shaking her and continues " if I'd known you were pregnant, I would have forced you quit your studies first and kept you home had I only known...I only asked you to take precautions as you are not ready yet, I had a rough childhood both my parents were busy with work and had no time for me, I longed for them and I will not put my child through that type of stress..." He releases her, paces to and fro and then walks away, hunches over sitting on the couch, cradling his head in his palms, looking down. "I clearly remember the promise you made me make at the mandap, to allow you finish your masters and then study corporate law ...that in itself is another 2 - 3 years of hectic class schedule, right now, you don't have time for me, where would you have time for my baby eh?" He looks at her angrily "did you ever think about that, I was trying to fulfill a promise I made to you?" he glares at her and continues " This experience has been devastating and it has affected me too, I feel guilty for allowing you to continue your studies, ...if you were home, my ammi jaan would have helped you realize you were pregnant...I feel guilty of my desire and passion for you, I feel guilty for last night...the thought of my baby growing inside you is comforting for me and gives me a sense of security...think about it for a moment"
