Author's POV

"Assalamualaikum, may i come in?" asked Maimuna Kabir. Raja Mubashir Khan Raizada nodded in approval.
Maimuna walked towards the bed where Raja was sitting, and stood as a mark of respect.

"As Azad has already reached 27, i think its the perfect time to start looking for him a bride; a woman who would guard and protect both the palace and especially Azad. Im just afraid that no one would come forward to wed him due to his character...what do you think?" Raja trailed off.

Maimuna was astounded; at the same time elated upon hearing that news. " Yes, i too wanted to discuss about this to you...since you have already announced, we can start looking for the bride!"she replied calmly, while hiding her excitement.

Aisha barged into Azad's room and jumped on his bed."Bhaiiii!!! You are going to get married!! Im soo excited! Im going to have a second bhabi and then i can bully her and then i will have a partner to play with and tell her about my life and also i will be an aunty and then i can play with your chil-"

"Stop it Aisha! Who told you that im getting married huh?" Azad spat; throwing his armour on the floor after having a friendly swordfight with his knights. Aisha's expression changed instantly and she quietly walked out of the room.

"You are old enough to be the next king to rule. We are going to get you marri-" Raja was cut rudely by Azad.

"Im not going to be the next king and im not going to get married. And i dont need a wife now, Abba. I can take care of mys-"

"This is not an appeal nor a proposal, but an order understood? We would be sending invitations to 5 of our neighbouring mansions. They would be sending their daughters over and they would be staying over here for a month. Im only going to give you a month; only a month to determine which one of these 5 ladies you would be marrying. Its time for you to stop battling in the ground and fighting with the knights. You are the Prince, not the commander there. I do not want to ever see you in your armour again,understood?" Raja instructed.

"But I-"

"No buts. As i said earlier, its not an appeal Azad, its an ORDER!CLEAR?" Raja bellowed. Azad took a bow and left Raja's bedroom.

He clenched his right fist and punched onto the wall when he walked towards the kitchen.

"Khalaajaan!( Mother's sister ) I heard that im getting married. Is it true? Who's decision was it? Did you agree to it?" Azad questioned her as if she did a big crime.

"Yes I did, and it was also my decision Beta. Look I dont really know what your abba told you, but you do know that whatever i do, is for your own good right? Do not worry, everythings gonna be alright" she reasurred him while patting his head.

'Im gonna get married to a total stranger! What if she wants to marry me because of my family's wealth? Or what if she takes control of this entire mansion? oh god..only if she would have been here now...' he mumbled to himself and walked towards his room.

Azad entered his room and opened his cupboard. He took out a rather old and antique photoframe and placed it near his chest. He closed his eyes with a tear drop forming near his tear duct.
