Her Treasure

Chapter 3

Hazeef's POV

Hazeef, hazeef, hazeef  I heard mom shouting and I ran downstairs to find dad sprawled on the floor with mom weeping besides him and the maids holding her while the chauffeur and one of the guards came in as I ran downstairs, they helped me carry dad to the car,

We arrived at the hospital in 5 minutes and he was immediately wheeled to the ICU I called zayn to let him know what happened to dad and walk to my mom sitting close to her while she was in a deep thought that she didn't even notice me " mom" I called out to her but got no response " mom" I called again when she turned to me with teary eyes and immediately hug me resting her head on my chest and my heart skipped a beat as my world came crumbling at my feet seeing my family in the state they are.

Farha's POV

I went to hebberh's house before going to uni since we have evening lectures and it's only 2:00pm and it's boring staying at home since am the only one at home because abbah and ammie went for an event they were invited by one of Abbas's business partners, addah hameedah is at school while jamil's having sleepover at his friend's place which happens to be our family friends.
    "Assalamu alaikum" I said making my presence known to the occupants of the living room " wa'aaikumussalam dear" her mom welcomed me and we exchanged pleasantries before I head to her room finding her sprawled on the bed reading Wattpad she was so engrossed in reading that she didn't even knew I was there " I carried the nearest object to me which was a rubber frog and threw it at her.

    " ahhahhhhhh!" She let out a loud shrill jumping up and down throwing her phone on the bed before realization dawned on her and she launched at a laughing me hitting me with a pillow.
We had a great time before it was time for school.

   We all meet at our usual meeting spot since we're done with classes and decided to go shopping for what we needed the next day since tomorrow's Saturday and we promised to bake with leemah.
On our way to meet my driver to take us to the mall we met zayn,my father's childhood friend's son whom I haven't met in such a long time even though he told me he's also attending Neil university the last time we met.
  He looked a bit disturbed making a phone call then he hurried to his car " hey zayn" I waved at him " ohh hello farfar" yh that's what he calls me we were quite close during our childhood days since both his siblings were studying abroad and he was alone at home with his little sis " actually am in a hurry something happened to dad I'll see you later"
" so sorry see you later then "and I waved at him again
I looked to my side to come face to face with a blushing emern she once had a crush on him and we had to make her choose between him and us ( if you're wondering then   yup he was that handsome that she was ready to break her promise to never fall in love in high school)
Zayn was the most handsome guy at high school that had many girls crushing on him even though he was our senior emern included.

I returned home after a long tiring day at uni and head straight to my room after greeting abbah and ammie.
I had a long relaxing shower before falling into a deep slumber.
I wake up around 6:00pm prayed magrib and go down for dinner and I noticed a not so pleasant look on my parents faces
After greeting them I decided to asked what's bothering them and dad sighed before saying " it's nothing to worry about dear it's just one of my close friends that is currently at the hospital fighting for his life and am thinking of visiting him at the hospital tomorrow morning"
" ohh Zayn's dad right?"I asked
And he gave me an amused look nodding while wondering how I knew " I met zayn this evening" I answered his unasked question and he nodded again.
   "Abbah I will accompany you to the hospital pls" I said making puppy dog eyes which I know abbah can't deny
He just nodded again something's definitely wrong with him cause he wasn't even eating just playing with his food absentmindedly,  ammie place her hand on his which was on the table assuring him that everything will be fine and that's how dinner ended in silence.

     Hazeef's POV
   
Dad is till unconscious but was moved from the ICU to his ward room where he was surrounded by machines and was placed under an oxygen.
    Zayn and Nihat already went home and it's only mom and I here at the hospital the doctor called us to his office I held unto mom's hand and lead the way,   we knocked on the door and entered when granted permission to do so.
" Am really sorry about your husband's condition but he's getting better in sha allah " he started talking to mom in particular "Thank you doctor but can you please tell me what's wrong with my husband"
He brought out an envelope passing it to me when i collect it with trembling hands thinking what could possibly be wrong with him opening the envelope I saw the biggest shock of my life when mom snatched the paper out of my grip I turn toward her to see her crying her eyes out when she saw the word "BRAIN TUMOR "
" your husband has been diagnosed with brain cancer ma'am you need to calm down and be strong for him please" The doctor continue " isn't there any way to cure my husband doctor" mom said still weeping while I was just blankly staring to no way in particular.
" there are treatments like surgery, radiation and chemotherapy but the treatment depends on the stage so since it's an early stage we can start with chemotherapy"the doctor answered while we only nod looking at him.
There was a knock on the door and the doctor said " come in" a nurse came in and informed him that the patient in room 102 has regain consciousness and she was dismissed after that  "he has regained consciousness you may see him now but please one in a time " we thank him and made our way towards room 102 feeling really devastated after the news we received.

  Mom entered first and held his hand weeping again and still trying to wipe the tears away but they were still falling " where are the kids"he asked after removing the oxygen mask "the.. they left .....but haz...hazeef is here" she said trying to muffle her cries "Good,  let him in please"he said "but the doctor.."he cut her off with " I don't care what the doctor said" she walked to the door and let him in " daddd....." he called out with his eyes welling up with tears " you have to be strong son i already know what's wrong with me"
" you what ?..... you knew yet you hide it from us all.... Why. Why dad"I asked furiously " look am sorry son I didn't mean to hide it from you but I had to" he answered with eyes brimming with tears.

"Hazeef"came dad's broken voice " yes dad" I replied " I only have one wish before I die son"
" why are you talking like this dad you are not dying not now dad"

" Are you willing to fulfill my last wish s.."
I cut him off " I ..I will do anything you asked of me dad"
" I want you to take care of your mom and siblings and lastly I want you to get married as soon as possible"
" yes dad I will definitely take care of them but marrie.." I was cut off by dad coughing and I hurriedly passed him a glass of water while mom hold onto him worriedly
" So you can't fulfill this dying man's wish then"
" I will, I'll dad I can even get married now if you want me to" he gave me a satisfied smile before lying back down and I went to call the doctor to check up on him.
