My Deaf Friend

Mr.X who is the hero of my story is deaf. Because his parents were cousins so their first child became paralyzed and they decided to not have any more children. He was in my university when we became friends. I was studying electronic and he was architect student. Always it was interesting for me to see his efforts of trying to understand the professor sayings when he was writing on the board. My friend was always looking at the notes of the next students to be understood.
Its obvious that all the university staff some how protects him. I remember in one of the final exams when he was writing the answers from some cheat papers who he had brought, that man who was taking care saw him and just laugh.
With all his problems he became graduated and of course found a good job.
Now he is 27 and wants to get married. He is very handsome and his family are in a good position and wealthy. By these aspects it seems easy to find the suitable girl, but he is deaf!!!
He goes to the deaf community of Iran. In this place there are lots of deaf boys and girls coming everyday and he had fell in love with one of those girls. He always insisted on marrying with a deaf person so up to now everything is OK.
But his parents say he must get married with a healthy girl. They even say we will find someone who can bare you all the life time!!! But how it's possible!
Mr.X says that girl at first years can push herself to tolerate my situation but after maybe 5 or 10 years, my money and other good points will lose their face and she will be tired of living with me.
When I look from the view point of his parents I see they want a healthy girl to improve the life of their boy and give them some healthy kids, but when I look from Mr.x side I totally agree with him.
His parents says if he marry that girl he shouldn't come back home… very hard to decide. Isn't it?

It is sad when parents make impositions like this. Surely he is old enough to recognize his own shortcomings and needs. It should not be that a relationship will degrade over time and that his handicap becomes a problem, however it is a horrible world we live in and he is probably right.....if the deaf girl is the one he loves, and she loves him, why should the parents get in the way....it is not them getting married, it is their son and he deserves his hapiness which will be there long after the parents have gone!
