Maria knows that she has not known Tony for long but she just couldn't help but feel like she has known him for their whole lives. So was she really going to go save the life of a love she hasn't known for long or was she going to stay with her best friend Anita? The outcome depends on what Maria chooses to do and whether or not she will choose friendship over love or love over friendship. The outcome quite literally depends on Maria's choice. Whatever choice she makes: friendship over love or love over friendship will determine the outcome of the whole situation. Whatever choice happened was up to her.
The outcome can only be determined by Maria and whether or not she chooses friendship over love or love over friendship. If she chooses friendship,she will most likely lose the love of her life and she will miss him terribly. If she chooses love,she will most likely lose her best friend and she will regret that deeply. This is going to be the toughest decision she has ever made. But then again she does not really have a choice and must have made up her mind as soon as possible before fate takes matters into its own hands and might end up breaking her heart. Maria must be the person who makes the choice. No way out of making it,the responsibility of it is on Maria and nobody else can make the decision for her,she has to do it.
