Please, its the matter of my life we will commit suicide if it doesn’t happen. Thanks.
Response:
Allah put every blessing in harmony with parents and respect of them. Do you want your children to betray your trust in the future and to blackmail you or their Lord with harming themselves? No, you would hate that. So assess your situation for the long term. Ask forgiveness, success and help from Allah by doing what you know is best. If you follow Allah’s good pleasure he will make everything easy for you. If not, be sure you will lose.
