I was sitting in my room reading my novel after eating breakfast. There was a sudden knock on my door. I stood up and opened the door to find my mom standing there with a worried expression.

" Kya hua mumma? " I asked mom [ What happened mom? ].

" Beta.. your grandfather returned from Mumbai today.." Mom replied. Dadu?.. He went to Mumbai to meet his sick friend for the last time but he was going to come after a Week.. why is he here so early? [ Dadu: A term used For Paternal grandfather].

" What? But.. he was going to come after a week right?" I asked mom, it's not like that I am not happy to see him come back this early but it's just so strange.

" Hmm.. he's asking for your presence downstairs, and dekho beta, wo jo bhi kahe ya puche.. Zara maturely handle krna situation ko and, stay calm alright?" My mom replied. [ And look child, whatever he says or asks, handle the situation maturely and stay calm okay? ]. Okay now this is some serious matter I'd have to go downstairs and see it myself.

I nod at my mom hesitantly and follow her downstairs, as soon as I reach downstairs I look at my dad and Dadu sitting With a serious look on their face.

I am useful to this serious look of my dad but dadu... He barely has a look other than smile on his face. I sigh as I approach both of them " Assalamu alaikum dadu " i greet dadu, he just nods in reply.

Okay now this is something actually serious, Dadu never nods whenever someone greets him he always greets them back with a smile.

I just awkwardly sit in front of them both and ask " What happened dadu..? Why have you called me here? And you came back thi- " he cut me off before I could ask him the reason for his early apperance.

" I want to talk to you about something really important and you have to listen to me very carefully okay beta?" My dadu says.

" Y-yes dadu of course please go on " i say to him.

He sighs before he speaks once again " the Royal family, The Khans have asked for your hand for their King.. Fardan Ali Khan.. His Grandfather is a really good freind of mine and i got a call from him yesterday...he was telling me that he saw you yesterday with your father.. and he really liked you for his grandson...and when you both were born.. He promised me to make you his grandson's bride and take care of you just like his own granddaughter...and I too promised him back.. and as he's the former king and Fardan.. i mean hukum is a King now.. we can't deny his wish.. and I have also promised him..so please agree to this marriage o-otherwise they will ruin our happy family...Beta ... Th-they are really powerful..p-please say yes. " Dadu finished with a tear rolling down his cheek. Dad stood up and went inside the room . Shocked would be an understatement to describe whatever I am going through right now.

My face is emotionless but there is a storm going inside me, I just want to lock myself in the room and break everything. The thing that breaks my heart the most is that my dadu is crying and going through such a helpless situation. He is literally begging me .
