I do...

Rabia did not reply to his confession, even though her heart was elated hearing his words. "I shall go and prepare something for you in the kitchen." Rabia bowed in reverance and then walked away from the two of them towards the kitchen area.

Firdauze was left frozen on his spot, looking at the girl's preceeding figure. He turned to look at Tiana and smiled. "Do you like her Tia? I love her. Do you approve of her?" 

Tiana grinned happily and touched Firdauze face gently with her delicate hands. Suddenly an image of Rabia, appeared in his head and how she had looked after Tiana in his absence. Firdauze could see Rabia putting Tiana to sleep in middle of the night, each time she got up. He then saw Rabia, feeding milk to Tiana with much love and affection. 

Another visual of Rabia playing with Tiana in the park appeared before him and a tear dropped down from his eye. "I will try my best to convince her. I know you already think of her as your mother."
