Broken Hearts, Hidden Secrets

Chapter Twenty-Five.

 Tayyal & Zoya's Wedding Day Part Two.

As soon as Tayyal took his fiancee's call, he immediately knew what it was about as he saw how his mother was overworking his sister Zianna.

"Asalam Aleikum, what's wrong habibty?"

"Waleikum salaam, I need to tell you something but I need you to stay calm and let me finish, okay?"

Tayyal agreed and Zoya explained everything Zianna had told her about being 'busy'.

"I understand, habibty. I know what to do, don't worry about it," Tayyal said, trying to calm himself down but that wasn't working as it was his and Zoya's dream to have Zianna with them at their wedding.

Zianna was the main reason why Tayyal wanted to give Zoya a chance to work on her future before their wedding.

He knew that Zianna always wanted to have a future for herself. She always wanted to be a doctor but that dream was just a dream now.

"Habiby, promise me that you won't do anything that will harm Zianna more..."

"I promise and I also promise that Zianna will be by your side when you sign our Nikkah certificate. In shaa Allah," Tayyal said and then hung up after saying bye to his fiancee.

"You don't need to do that big brother. I already have a plan and I might need your help in doing what I need you for," Dahlia said making Tayyal raise his eyebrows confused.

"What are you planning little sister?"

Dahlia explained to her brother the plan she had with her best friend.

"She will take Zianna's place when mum asks her to go to her room and stay there, so she can't go to your Nikkah. Don't worry, my friend will come to the Nikkah but we need to be quick because mum has been overworking Zianna for the past hour," Dahlia said pointing at Zianna who was carrying heavy plates from the kitchen. "Tay, why does our mother hate her that much? I mean, I understand what Zianna went through but shouldn't she be angry at Dad too?" She asked.

"I don't know why Mum isn't angry at Dad but Zianna doesn't deserve any of this. And thank your friend for helping us, Dahlia."

"I will. But you need to go and get everything ready so that Zianna can be dressed and ready to go to the Hotel for the Nikkah ceremony."

Tayyal nodded but before he walked away, he turned to face his sister Zianna who was trying to be strong even though he could see that she wasn't due to her health.

They didnt want Dahlia to know anything about it because Zianna didnt want her sister to be concerned about her, which might draw attention to Nadia.

"Go, I will take care of our sister," Dahlia said, smiling.

Tayyal nodded and walked into his room with a heavy heart because of the way his mother had been treating Zianna.

I pray that one day Dad will see how much hatred Mum has for someone as innocent as Zianna, and the guilty one should be him.

Meanwhile, Zianna was getting a little tired due to the workload that Nadia had given her. She didnt even have the time for the medicines that the doctor had prescribed to her for her heart.

She took a deep breath and got up to do what Nadia wanted. But it was taking a toll on her for not taking a break to have something to eat.

"Zianna, come with me. And you can't say no," Dahlia said dragging her towards the kitchen. "Sit and have some water, " she added placing a glass of cold water in front of her sister.
