Wedding Or Disaster {Part One}

Zianna knew that she needed to forgive her father, especially when or if a new heart was found. The doctor kept assuring her that, she still had a chance to survive and live the life she always wanted.

"Zia, we need to go and get your wedding dress and the reception dress too," her sister-in-law says with a smile. "Your wedding will be the best because it will be filled with love, and most importantly seeing you happy," she added.

"Zoya, I don't need a big wedding. I just want a small intimate wedding with no fuss," Zianna said. "I know that Tay, Dalia and Nour would want a huge wedding but I want something different..."

"And you will have it," Tayyal continued making them look at him. "If you don't need a huge wedding, we will just organize the intimate nikkah. And don't worry, Azhar also asked his parents to do the same as you want. Zia, you are my sister and you dont have to do something you don't want to, always remember that, " he added.

"There, the problem is solved. But we still need to get you the dress..."

"Zoya, I will get the dress. I know that Zianna would love this dress more than any other one. I had to search for it, and alhamdulillah, I found it," Tayyal said. It is at the dry cleaners, and it will be ready for you in two hours," she added.

"Did you find, Mamma's dress?" Zianna asked. "How did you find it?"

"I found it in the house you two were staying at. It was locked up by one of her best friends. I had to ask your fiancee's brother who had a best friend to investigate. And alhamdulilah, he found the house inn two weeks but I had to contact Mamma Hania's best friend to get the keys. I had to explain to her who I was and why I need to get into the house," Tayyal explained to his sister. "I will always protect you, because you are my sister no matter who says otherwise," he added.

Zianna got up from where she was sitting and hugged her brother with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you so much for this and everything you have done for me. You are the best brother in the entire world. I owe you everything, Tay..."

"No, you don't owe me anything, Zia. As your older brother, it is my right for me to help you with everything that you need. It is my right to be there for you whenever you need me to be. You, Zoya, Dalia and even Nour are very important to me and dad is too," he tells her, wiping her tears.

Zoya was proud to be married to someone like Tayyal. Someone who will do anything for his family.

Meanwhile, Nadia was meeting with an unknown person, trying to find a way to finally get rid of Zianna without getting caught.

"This is what you will do," the unknown person explained. "She will be driven with her sister-in-law to a place and I will take it from there..."

"No, you won't hurt Zoya. I don't want to hurt my son and grandchild, so leave Zoya out of this," Nadia said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

"We will have to use today's events because its that bratt's wedding. And they will be at the Kadhi's office in the aftrenoon after Dhuhr prayers," Nadia added, removing a photograph. "This is the car she would be travelling in with her father. And don't you dare harm him and my children..."

"I understand and if anything that doesn't work out the way you want. This is on you, I will leave this town and never come back," the unknown person warned Nadia who had a frown on her face.

"Fine but you need to make sure that whatever I planned works out the way I want," Nadia said, leaving no room for arguments.

Meanwhile, Zianna was getting ready to go to the Kadhi's office to have her and Azhar's Nikkah done. She couldn't help but think of her mother, who would have been happy to see her in her Nikkah dress. A knock interrupted her thoughts. Zianna got up and opened the door to find her sisters and sister-in-law standing there with smiles on their faces.

Zoya had a bag in her hand that she handed it to Zianna.

"Is this it?" Zianna asked while taking the bag and opening it.

Zianna finds the dress her mother wore when she married her father. She always wanted to wear it on her own Nikkah.

"Now, lets get you ready," Nour says, smiling.

This is what I have been missing for almost my entire life just because of what my mother used to tell me about Zianna. The innocent almost teenager who came into our lives not knowing anything about us. I won't say that I hate my mother but sometimes I wish that I could tell her exactly how I felt about the entire situation.

"Are you okay, Nour?" Zianna asked. "If you dont feel well, you could sit down," she added, pointing at the chair she was currently sitting on.

Nour held Zianna's hands with hers and looked at her with tears almost falling from her face.

"I want to apologize once again, Zia for everything that I did to you when you arrived home. I wish I could turn back the time and undo everything that I did..."

"Nour, what matters is that you are here with me and I already forgave you. Because you are my sister, no matter what," Zianna said, wiping Nour's face. She then turned to face Zoya and Dahlia," you three are my sisters. Thank you to the three of you for being in my life," she added.

"Group hug", Dahlia said pulling them in a hug.

"Okay, let's get the bride ready, as it is almost time for us to leave to the Kadhi's office, " Zoya said.

As the girls got ready, Hussein arrived at Azhar's house to take his daughter to the Kadhi's office to get her married. He was happy to hear that Zianna wanted him to be there as her guardian.

It was one of the happiest days of his life, and he prayed every day that he would be there for his daughter.

"Dad, are you okay? Do you want me to drive you two at the Kadhi's office?" Tayyal asked his father.

"No need for that. But thank you, my son. I want to thank you for being Zianna's guardian when she came home to us. I felt like a failure when I couldn't even stand up for her whenever you mother hurt her. I wasnt the best father to her and my other kids..."

"Dad, let's leave that in the past, okay? Zianna forgave you and so did I. And now she wants you to be there on this important day of her life. Her Nikkah," Tayyal said. "So let's just forget the past and live for the future," he added.

Hussein knew that his son was right.

A new beginning for my children.

Tayyal turned around when he heard voices coming down the stairs to find his sisters and wife walking down with Zianna.

"Ma shaa Allah, Zia. You look so beautiful just like your Mamma," Hussein said, smiling. "That dress was something that your grandparents gave your mother during our wedding. It was the dress that your mother loved because her parents died before our wedding. And I knew that she would miss them during the wedding," he continued. "I am happy that Tayyal found it for you and you got to wore it just as your mother wanted," Hussein added.

"Thank you, Dad for being here with me. And you all, thank you," Zianna said.

"Okay, thats enough, it is time to get you married to someone who would always love and be there for you, Zia," Nour says, trying to uplift the mood in the room.

Zoya, Nour and Dalia led Zianna to the car. Her father was already inside the car smiling. While Tayyal would drive them to Azhar's house for the reception.

They didn't know that someone was watching them and waiting for the right time to attack but deep inside, the unknown knew that what was planned was bad. Zianna is human and deserves to be happy and alive.

I can't do this, I just can't ruin someone's life just because of jealousy. I am leaving this town but not before giving Hussein every single thing that I have against his wife. I wish I didn't get involved in this.
