🔱THE FEMALE KNIGHT🔱[COMPLETED)✔

The Agreement

Azad POV

"Yes. She is still in my heart. Afterall, she put this ring on my finger. I had chosen her when the brides came and you had also chosen her beforehand. I want to marry her and she is best for me. Though i could not be the Raja, she didnt really bother about that. All she wanted for me, is to reach my desired position as the commander of the region and i did.

Thanks to her. Ma, not only that, after Alia arrived, i changed. I was not like this before. She changed me and she changed everyone...Remember when we were young, you would always tease that I only listened to you and Alia and no one else, nowadays, i have to listen to her. I dont know..ma but i really feel complete when you, abba and Alia are with me, like now.." i said cupping my hands into my ma's.

"If thats the case, Alia, do you want to spend your life with him?"

"Well, i didnt get the chance to spend my teenage years and even my childhood years with Azad. However, i sure want to spend the rest of life with Azad" she responded calmly.

A smile broke across my mouth and i saw Alia, bitting her lip.

"Can i get a hug from you both?" Ma said. I went forward and hugged, with Alia beside me, hugging.

Authors POV

"Imran, it was a pleasure seeing you. Im really happy that your eldest daughter is my daughter-in-law. I couldnt have asked for more. And Salma beti, im really sorry" Raja Mubashir said.

"Its okay, afterall, Azad is like my bhaiya too. He is more like a bhaiya material and he is too quiet for me. Im glad that i have found my elder sister! Thats enough for me" Salma replied cheekily.

"Jarina, do come when we announce the wedding date for Alia. You dont know how happy i am! We were best friends, so were our husbands and kids. Im really honoured to have Alia as my daughter-in-law. You have brought her up well!" Rani Halima conveyed.

"Its not my brought up. But Abu Bakr's. He sure have kept his promise; the promise he gave me 20 years ago" Rani Jarina responded and faced Abu Bakr who bowed.

"Abba, i was thinking that Abu Bakr should come back to Ar-Rahim as our commander. What do you think?" Azad voiced out. He got his reply instantly and Raja Mubashir nodded.

"Azu, i can be the supporting commander, but you have to be the chief commander. If you are fine with that, im fine with being you all"Abu Bakr replied.

"Ma, do come to Ar-Rahim. And you too abba and Salma. Salma, you and I can go around Ar-Rahim and explore! Theres so many places that i would want to show you!" Alia cupped her sister's hands. They both hugged each other.

"Di, whats the name of the twin knight with the sword?" Salma asked.

"You are going to get whacking from me!" Alia exclaimed.

Alia then went over to her ma and abba and bid farewell. Rani Jarina hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"Then, i think its time for us to part. Shall we take our leave, Halima?" Raja Mubashir asked.

Rani Halima nodded and everyone went to the foyer and watched the luggage being carried to the carriages. Alia bid farewell and sat inside the carriage together with Azad, Aisha and Aqil. Thaatha,thaathi and Nawfal and Zainab sat together and rest in another carriage. The carriages left Al-Qaima, so did Alia.

A tear dropped from Alia's eyes and she quickly wiped it away. "Missing them already?" Azad asked glancing at Alia.

"Ya. Afterall,they are also my parents" she responded and looked into Azad's eyes.

"Ermm...bhaiya, can i say something?" Aisha voiced out.

"I..i like Aqil but i dont know whether he likes me. Can you ask him?" Aisha uttered.

"Hello miss dramaqueen, Im sitting beside you right? You could have asked me directly right? Well, my answer is yes.."he responded. Aisha squeeked and jumped. Everyone in the carriage laughed out heartly.

As the sun descended,Aqil and Aisha was asleep while Azad and Alia were still awake.

"Alia?"

"Hmm.."

"Are you awake?"

"Yes, but im sleepy" she mumbled and closed the gap between her and Azad. She laid her head on Azad's shoulder and cupped her hands at his biceps. Azad was a little stunned,but found himself blushing.

"Only Allah knows what you are eating. If only our soldiers were as strong as you, we would not have been defeated very easily..."she mumbled.

"You are with me from now on, whatever benefits our region, would benefit yours too"

"Hmm..." she mumbled and squeezed his arm even more.

Azad watched the sunset, lost in the calming colors it gave. His eyes were steady to the horizon, face aglow with the last orange rays before twilight beckons the stars. His lips bear the semblance of a smile, just enough to show that he was enjoying his thoughts, whatever they might be.

Alia moved closer to Azad as the night fell so that he feels her presence, yet she stayed quiet, allowing him to stay lost in the moment a while longer. Afterall, he had a long journey in his life. He had came across waves that were obstacles in life. So much sufferings, yet a blissful ending.

Alia POV

My eyes dropped and i closed the gap between Azad; my childhood friend. I took a glance and saw that he looked out of the carriage window and stared at the sunset.

He had a sense of accomplishment; or maybe satisfaction. It was indeed true that he had a terrible childhood. However, now, i was there, for him. I purposely shifted in my seat and he immediately placed his hands on mine.

"What?"

"Nothing. Just testing"

"My lady, bear in mind that even the slightest move of yours, makes me...erm..turn towards you" he said.

"Aww, so cute!" I exclaimed and cupped his biceps again which was a perfect pillow for me.

"Actually...i.."he dragged.

"Hmm..go on"

"I...i..nevermind leave it"

"Not going to let you go. If you dont finish your sentence, you would become a vampire" i squeezed and looked at him.

"Thank you for coming into my..life. If only you hadnt attracted my attention in the hallway that day, i wouldnt-"i interrupted.

"Oh my! So, i did attracted your attention that very first day! Wow, Alia! You became soooo femine"i chuckled.

"Well well, i still liked the Alia who slapped Barkatji and drew her sword in front of soldiers and everything. Please remain the same and dont be soo girly" he said.

"Really?" I replied, tilting my head.

"Ya, i mean it. I want to hunt animals with you. I want to have a friendly sword fight with you. I want to discuss about strengthening the knight power with you. I want to go to a battle with you. I want to...train my guards with you. I..i...just want to live life; a life that i didnt had over these few years! I want to live my life to the fullest with you and have kids and watch them play and see them running around the palace...i just want to have a new life, with you by my side. I didnt experience these when i was younger. At least before i die, i want to-"

"When can we have our Nikkah? And dont worry, im here for you; all by your side"i said and he lied his head on my shoulder, this time, he cupping my biceps.
