"Dad, are you kidding me right now?.. Do you really want me to do this?.. Are you for real? NO! You are joking, right?" Xavier exclaimed. He felt like going mad. No one was in their senses. How could they expect him to marry right now, at the mere age of eighteen, and especially a nine-year-old girl who didn't even know what was right and wrong for her? No! Never!
"I am not asking for your opinion on this! You have to marry Nooreh and that's final! Fawaz is on the verge of dying right now. I will not decline any of his wishes at all." Mustafa Ali Khan whisper-yelled at his son. Mustafa knew he was doing wrong not only to his son but to that innocent child, Nooreh, too, who didn't even know what drastic change was going to come in her life after this step.
"Dad why me? Why not Azriel or Zayn? She is good friends with both of them. I can't marry someone this much younger than me please!" Xavier argued, but begged at the end. He couldn't do this. He could not marry a child. His and her lives will both be ruined.
"You do know why. Only you can provide her with the protection she needs. Azriel is too careless for such responsibility and Zayn will soon be enlisting in the military. He can't protect her as you can. She will have danger lurking her whole life." Mustafa exclaimed.
Xavier heaved a sigh in defeat.
