EPISODE 43
Inside the office, Markus quickly got up from
the sofa, pushing Jia away as if he never cared
about her and walked towards the mobile that
Kizy had dropped.
And as he expected, Kizy’s phone had been
recording all the conversation since the
beginning. He simply ended the live session
before taking out his mobile and calling Joel.
“She has left, but she took the staircase. Please
take care of her and make sure she is safe and
won’t hurt herself.” Markus said in a deep voice.
“Yes boss.” Joel said before hanging up and
following his instructions.
Markus then bent to pick up the gifts and cake
box one by one before placing them carefully on
his office desk.
He opened them one by one, opening the cake
box last and taking a bite from it.
“Little lamb you are making me feel guilty.”
Markus said to himself, remembering the look
Kizy had given him before leaving.
Kizy’s sparkling eyes were the most attractive
feature on her face, adding more beauty to her
ace. But the eyes he had seen before Kizy left
had no shine, looking lifeless, as if someone
had sucked the life out of her.
And this worried Markus more than anything.
He had never expected that Kizy would react so
extremely to that scene.
He had never expected that Kizy would go to
lengths of making so many handmade gifts
and surprises for him.
He ate the entire cake, even when the cake had
been burnt a little, making it slightly bitter in
taste. Afterwards he wrapped those gifts gently
and placed them in his drawer before locking it.
He was experiencing some very different
emotions, but he didn’t know what they were.
Meanwhile on the other side, Kizy had been
running down the stairs, not understanding
what she was feeling. And suddenly she
stumbled on the second last stair of the 33rd
floor, which made her fall down, injuring her
knees.
Kizy slowly sat down properly in the same
position and tears started to fall silently from
her eyes.
The scene in the office made her feel
completely betrayed. Never in her dreams had
Kizy thought that Markus would betray her.
Though just an act, she had worked hard to
prepare those gifts personally for Markus, even
going to the length of baking a cake for the first
time.
She knew that Markus didn’t love her, and all
that was happening for the past few days was
just an act, but she believed that Markus was
loyal to her.
She had been living with him for months,
accepting his family as her own, doing every
single thing she could do for them, and
hopelessly trusting his words even when she
knew that they were complete lies and Markus
was only putting up an act.
And finally all that she received in return was a
betrayal. Maybe if they weren’t acting for the
past few days, it would have been easier for
Kizy to accept it.
But after the public proposal, something
changed between them, or more precisely
something changed for Kizy. Though she
fought with Markus as usual, she felt a weird
sense of satisfaction through it.
And all of this shattered due to that one single
scene she witnessed in the office.
She finally hugged her knees before closing her
eyes and cried loudly for the first time in three
years.
She hadn’t cried this badly even when her mom
had met that deadly accident when they arrived
in A City.
She kept crying for a long time, but there was no
stopping her tears. It was as if she had been
holding all those tears for her entire life and
finally broke down today.
“Young miss please stop crying.” Suddenly Joel
spoke and passed a handkerchief to Kizy.
But Kizy didn’t even lift her head to look at him.
“Young miss please don’t hurt yourself like this.
You have been crying for more than forty
minutes now. If this continues, you will fall ill.”
Joel said, still trying to console her.
“Young miss please stop crying, boss won’t feel
good about this.” Joel said and finally Kizy
lifted her head.
“Boss? Who’s boss? Why would he care about
me?” Kizy asked in a lifeless voice.
“Young miss please don’t say that. You don’t
know the entire story.” Joel said.
“I don’t even want to know what it is!!” Kizy
shouted before roughly wiping away her tears.
Kizy tried standing up on her own but felt sharp
pain from her knees, which had swelled a little,
and stumbled again.
“Young mi-” Joel said but…
“Leave me alone!! For god’s sake just leave me
alone and get lost!!” Kizy shouted before
standing up painfully and started climbing
down the stairs again.
“Young miss don’t do this-” Joel still tried to
convince her but Kizy cut him off.
“I said get lost!! And this is an order. I don’t care
what Markus is doing, but I am still his legally
wedded wife and your young miss for now.
Don’t you know how to follow orders?” Kizy
shouted.
“Sorry young miss. I will leave now.” Joel said
and bowed before leaving.
“Whyyyyy??!!” Kizy shouted after Joel had left
and climbed down the stairs, still crying hard.
Kizy didn’t know how long she had been
walking, climbing down the stairs, but she had
been completely drained by the time she
reached the parking lot.
She simply dragged her body lifelessly towards
her car and entered inside. She sat on the
driver’s seat before slamming her hands on the
steering wheel.
She roughly wiped away her tear stained face
one last time, before starting the engine and
speeding out of the parking lot.
She raced directly towards the highway, at a
speed of 140 km/hrs which was still increasing.
She had had enough of this $h|t. Being good to
others and receiving heartbreaks in the end.
Speeding up and racing with winds, that was
one of her few stress busters. She would forget
her pain and sorrows once she would break the
speed limits, which gave her an adrenaline rush,
her only way to forget things temporarily.
She drove like that for almost two hours when
finally the car came to a halt, indicating she
was out of fuel.
She exited the car and slammed the door shut
before kicking the car with all the force she
could.
Kizy closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths
and relaxed her mind before opening her eyes
again.
But she now noticed that she was near her
school campus, the one where she had studied
and graduated.
‘Why here out of all the places?’ Kizy thought
frustratedly.
She walked towards the school gate, a gate she
had crossed countless times, and sat near a
nearby tree.
She could still see her younger self walking in
cheerfully, wearing a school uniform with two
ponies and a bag.
*19 YEARS AGO, 1ST DAY OF ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL*
“Bye daddy, bye mommy.” Kizy said before
running towards the gate.
Kate and Richard (*Kizy’s Dad*) looked at each
other before looking at their surroundings.
Children were crying, refusing to go school,
parents were convincing, pleading and lastly
forcing them to enter the school.
“Guess our daughter prefers school over us.”
Kate said to Richard.
“Mm-hmm.” Richard nodded with a smile.
Both of them left the gate after confirming that
Kizy had gone inside.
Meanwhile Kizy ran happily towards the
direction of her class, which her class teacher
had shown on the day she came to get
admission.
She turned and was about to enter the class
when suddenly a boy ran into her.
“Ouwww.” Kizy cried as she fell down with her
school bag.
“Stupid girl.” The kid said while getting up and
dusting his uniform.
And the kid was none other than Markus!!
“You should not say bad words. Just say sorry
okay?” Kizy said innocently while standing up
on her own and looking with her sparkling baby
eyes.
“You say sorry. You were running blindly in the
corridor.” Markus said with a sour face.
“Bad boy.” Kizy said with a pout and smacked
him on his head.
“How dare you hit him?” Suddenly another girl
came and said angrily in her baby voice.
“He said bad words to me.” Kizy replied.
“You are bad.” The girl said and pushed Kizy,
making her fall once again.
“Irene why did you push Kizy?” Their class
teacher came and helped Kizy get up, while
giving an angry glare to Irene.
“Sorry Sir.” Irene said and immediately started
crying.
“Ok ok don’t cry, let’s go back to our class.” The
teacher said before walking with the three kids
inside the class.
“You stupid girl. Consider yourself lucky
because I don’t hit girls.” Markus said in a low
volume before going to the last bench while
Kizy sat on the first bench.
*PRESENT TIME, OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL GATE*
Kizy heard a vehicle screeching and woke up
from her trance.
‘Huhhh, how can I forget? You were always
surrounded by girls and were their favourite
even with that bad mouth of yours.’ Kizy
thought to herself.
“Kizy, get inside.” Markus said while lowering
the car window. It was his car which had sped
and suddenly screeched to a halt.
Kizy simply ignored him before getting up and
walking on the footpath.
“Kizy stop.” Markus shouted.
But Kizy kept walking ahead, as if she never
heard Markus shouting.
Finally Markus got down from his car before
running behind Kizy to chase her. He held her
hand to stop her in track and stood in front of
her.
“Kizy at least listen to-” Marlu6s was saying
when Kizy cut him off.
“Let go of me.” Kizy said in a low but cold voice.
“Kizy you don’t know what happe-” Markus still
tried to speak in a polite voice.
“I said let go of me!!” Kizy shouted.
“Kizy at least hear me out once, this was
preplann-” Markus was still speaking but Kizy
finally lost it.
“Mr. Markus, I don’t want to listen to any of your
$h|t so just leave me and go back home.” Kizy
said.
“I am not going anywhere.” Markus said
stubbornly.
“Then let me go!!” Kizy shouted.
“No.” Markus replied.
Kizy stopped talking to him and tried to remove
her hand from his grip.
Markus as usual was holding her in a firm grip,
but this time he was being gentle in it.
Thus Kizy tried to release her hand for almost a
minute and she was able to jerk his hand off.
She simply removed her hand from his hold and
walked past him, ignoring him.
But this time Markus lost his cool and pulled her
back to him forcefully, while suddenly
slamming his lips on her.
Kizy was so angry at his behaviour that she
instantly started pushing him away with all her
might. And luckily she was able to push him
away successfully.
The moment their kiss broke, Kizy slapped him
hard.
“Mr. Markus, this was definitely not a smart
move. You will regret this.” Kizy said coldly
before walking ahead.
