Wedding Or Disaster {Part Two}

The unknown person walked away but didn't know Nadia had a backup plan. It was as if she knew he wouldn't agree to do it.

Nadia was right! Now I will have to do the dirty work once again.

They watched as father, son and daughters got in their respective cars.

The plan is already in motion.

The second unknown pe sent a message to Nadiarson. They got into their car and drove to where the wedding was held.

Both Azhar and Zianna wanted a small wedding with family. Hayat and Aayan insisted on having a small reception because they didn't want Zianna to feel left out. The reception was held at the house.

Meanwhile, at the courthouse, Azhar, his brother, and his father patiently waited for Zianna, her father, and her brother.

"Are you okay, Azhar?" His brother asked. "Dont worry everything will be fine, in shaa Allah," he added, assuring Azhar.

"I am okay alhamdulilah. Just worried about Nadia planning on hurting Zianna..."

"She can't do it, Azhar. She won't dare hurt Zianna if she wants her kids back with her," Azaan assured him.

Azhar was having doubts because of the last time he met Nadia at the house when he went over to speak to Hussein about marrying Zianna.

Flashback.

Azhar, Azaan and their father parked the car outside Mr. Hussein's house.

"Why couldn't we meet at the hotel or even at his office, dad?" Azhar asked.

"Because this is what Hussein wanted, Azhar. Dont worry, I will handle it," Aayan assured his son.

The three of them got out of the car and walked to the front door. Aayan rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door.

The door was opened by one of their maids.

"Asalam Aleikum, we are here to meet Mr. Hussein," Aayan said.

The maid led them to Hussein's office and knocked on the door.

Hussein opened the door and led them inside. He asked the maid to bring coffee for the guests.

"Asalam Aleikum, you know why we are here, right?" Aayan asked.

"Waleikum Salaam, yes I know and I am happy that you came to me after talking to Tayyal. I understand that the first impression you had of me at the wedding. I haven't been a good father to my daughter and..."

"Parents aren't perfect, Mr. Hussein. We are given children without instructions. We raise them the best way we can. We make mistakes and we also learn through them. Not every parent is perfect," Aayan explained. "But we do have time to make things right about our children. Mistakes makes us human," he added, smiling.

"Yes, you are right. But what I did was unforgivable especially when I let Nadia almost ruin my daughter's life," he said and then turned to face Azhar. " I accept your marriage proposal for my Zianna. I know that you will be able to protect her for being hurt. Love her the way she deserves to be loved," he added, smiling.

"I will, Uncle. I promise to love, care and cherish Zianna all our lives. Thank you."

After the talks, Aayan and his sons walked out of the office with smiles on their faces. But as soon as Azhar saw Nadia who had a scowl.

I will always protect you, Zia. I will love you and I promise that Nadia won't hurt you anymore.

End of Flashback.

"I understand what you are trying to say, Azhar but remember that if anything happens to Zianna, Nadia would be the one in trouble," Aayan said to his son as soon as he saw Mr Hussein, his son and also Zianna walking inside the office.

Alhamdulilah, she is here and she looks beautiful ma shaa Allah. I wish I could have given her the wedding she wanted. Zianna, my light.

"Asalam Aleikum, how are you doing Azhar?" Tayyal greeted everyone in the room.

"Waleikum salaam, I am good alhamdulilah and you?" Azhar asked nervously.

"Ready to get married?" Azaan asked his brother smiling.

Aayan couldn't help but chuckle at his two sons. He looked at his future-daughter-in-law who was looking at the ground.

Both Aayan and Hayat wanted Zianna to have the best wedding but she couldn't agree with them. Zianna never liked anything that was extravaganza.

"Excuse me, the Kadhi is ready now. Please follow me," the assistant interrupted them.

They all followed him inside the office where the Kadhi was waiting for them.

"Asalam Aleikum, please sit and we will start with the wedding," Kadhi said.

Zianna and Azhar took a sit while their fathers sat beside them smiling.

The Kadhi made dua before starting the wedding.

"Do you Zianna Hussein take Azhar Muhsin as your husband?"

"Yes," she answered.

The Kadhi asked her the question three times and Zianna answered Yes all those times and then he turned to Azhar to ask him the same questions.

"Yes, I do"

This made their fathers laugh. The Kadhi gave them the marriage certificate to sign.

Zianna couldn't help but remember her mother. How much she wished for her to be there at this important moment of her life?

Her wedding.

"Congratulations, Azhar."

Hussein hugged Aayan while their firstborn sons hugged the bride and groom.

Meanwhile, outside the Kadhi's office, the unknown walked over to Tayyal's car and cut the brakes as Nadia wanted. She thought that Zianna would be in that car but she didnt know that she would be in her husband's car.

There it is done. Now I will have to disappear as the other one did.

The couple walked out of the building and got into the car to drive to the reception. Before Zianna got into the car, she turned to her father and hugged him with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you for being here on this important day of my life. I love you, Papa. You are and will always be my father. And I will always need you now and always," she says.

Hussein wiped the tears from her daughter's face and then said," I will always be there for you, my daughter. You are my daughter. I love you too, Zia," he said kissing her forehead.

Zianna didn't want to let him go, feeling as if it was their last goodbye. She brushed that feeling away because today was the start of a new beginning for her and her father.

"Now, we need to go to the reception. Everyone is waiting for you," Hussein said.

"Will you be there, Papa?" Zianna asked.

"Yes, always. I will drive behind you and Azhar," Hussein said, smiling.

He then led Zianna to Tayyal's car as he would be the one driving the couple to the reception.

"Hussein, I personally promise to always take care of Zianna as my daughter. And she can meet you anytime you want," Aayan said, as the car drove away.

"I know and I am happy that Zianna found someone like your son."

Then Hussein and Aayan walked to their respective cars and started to drive to the reception. But on their way, Hussein couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen to him. He didnt want to tell his daughter that Nadia wouldn't let the grudge go even after years that have passed.

As Hussein takes the turn and wants to slow down, thats when he realizes that his car brakes aren't working.

Hussein started to panic as he realised the extent that Nadia would go through to get rid of his daughter Zianna.

The car was gaining speed, and Hussein saw an intersection up ahead with a truck coming toward him.

Thinking quickly, Hussein swerved the car almost hitting the truck but unfortunately, he crashed into the traffic light. People started gathering and some even called the ambulance. Thankfully, Hussein was conscious and was taken out of the car.

Ya Allah, you saved my life but what about My Zianna? How can I protect her from Nadia? I will have to speak to Nadia and put an end to all of this once and for all.

"Sir, you need to come with us to the hospital," one of the paramedics explained to Hussein. "We need to get you checked for any internal injuries," he added leading him to the back of the ambulance.

Today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. My daughter's wedding. I can't let her know but she needs to be careful.
