EPISODE 99
Markus kept protesting while Kizy simply ignored him, reaching the sofa.
As soon as she was about to lie down, Markus finally spoke while getting up from the bed.
“Fine! Go sleep there. But let me tell you, once you are asleep, I will carry you back to bed.” Markus said, having no option left.
“Dare you leave the bed!” Kizy said.
“No. I will definitely leave the bed. Since you are so hellbent on not listening to me, I can do the same.” Markus said, his voice devoid of any emotion.
“Then did you listen to me before leaving? Did you complete the promise you had made of returning on time? Did you follow my advice of returning back home healthy and safe?” Kizy asked questions one after another, rendering Markus speechless.
“That… that is.. different. They are two different things.” Markus said while scratching his head.
“How are they different? Ain’t we talking about not listening to each other? You definitely ace this thing then.” Kizy said, getting angrier with the more she spoke.
“Okay okay calm down.” Markus said before taking a deep breath himself.
“Kizy, look. I know I have hurt you a lot and I will never forgive myself for wh@ťěver you have gone through for the past weeks. But please don’t distance me from yourself and don’t ignore me. I would rather prefer a good beating from you instead of receiving some silent treatment.
I know that I have only given you pain since the day you have been with me, but my selfish heart still wants to keep you by my side.
And top of that, you are pregnant right now. You can not even imagine the tornado of emotions I experienced when the doctor broke this news.
Ever since I started understanding this world, I have always respected and admired my father a lot. I always wanted to grow up into a human like my dad.
Hence after dad passed away, whenever I was alone, suffering and depressed, I would always ask God ‘why me?’. But as time went by, and the pain only increased, I prayed for others to never suffer the same things I have gone through.
Maybe it was then that I wanted to be a father like my dad. I strongly felt that I will never let my child go through the difficulties that I underwent.
Of course I will turn her or him into an independent and strong person, but I will always be there to support them even when they won’t ask for it.” Markus said, his voice cracking a little at the end.
Nobody knew the amount of troubles he had suffered alone after losing his dad.
The moment he had left his home after his dad’s death, a lot of organisations had tried every single means to either capture him or simply ki|| him.
And though grandpa’s men were always there to protect him from the dark, he still ended up in life and death situations a lot of the time.
Engaging in street fights, training till his body was on the verge of death, starving himself for days, and staying alone while reminiscing the past while somewhere blaming himself for the loss of his dad – not everyone was able to see the kind of life Markus survived, not to mention living such life.
For the entire world, Markus was either a business tycoon with the entire country B within his palms or a mafia king who ruled the underworld.
But only a few people knew the hardships and torment he had won over to achieve his current position. It was not always about the money, luxury and glamour that the world could see, but mostly darkness and cruelty that was hidden behind those curtains.
“Markus. I am sorry for behaving like that moments ago. I just don’t know what is happening with me. I am not usually like this, but for the past few days, my emotions are taking the best of me. I am sorry for the sudden outburst and I promise to control my emotions from now on.” Kizy replied while walking back towards Markus, hugging him gently, careful to not press on his wounded chest.
“You don’t have to control or hide your emotions Kizy. In fact I would love it if you expressed them right in front of me. You can get angry, throw tantrums, punch me at times and do wh@ťěver you want. Just don’t bottle those emotions up and hurt yourself. Okay?” Markus asked.
“Hmmm.” Kizy replied while enjoying the feeling of his strong hands holding her tiny frame securely.
She had truly missed this all on a whole different level.
In fact not just her, but even Markus missed having Kizy in his arms. To be honest, they both were simply addicted to each other like some drug to a level that simply breathing without each other seemed very difficult.
He caressed her head while thinking about all the things that had happened since he returned. But after summarizing it all, he chuckled a little.
“Why are you laughing?” Kizy asked while feeling his chest move.
“Nothing.” Markus said while shaking his head.
“Tell me. Quickly.” Kizy said while lifting her face and looking at Markus with puppy eyes.
“I was thinking how can we be so unique? I mean no wife would welcome her husband while throwing things, dangerous things at that. And no husband would be breaking the news of his wife being pregnant, especially before getting his own wounds treated. Guess we can never match other couples.” Markus said and laughed out loudly.
Even Kizy smiled a little before speaking.
“But I prefer our bond over those cheesy couples. Who wants a partner who will be speaking those useless sweet nothings, behaving all good and getting all mushy.
I love the way we are, completely candid. We get angry, scold each other, even hit others at times, yet nothing can come between us. I just want to stay like this forever.” Kizy said while snuggling in Markus’s arm.
“Enough now. My child will be sleepy by now. Don’t deprive her or him of their sleep.” Markus said before breaking the hug and climbing on the bed while Kizy did the same.
‘How I wish for the time to stop. I wish I could stick you by my side so you will never be out of my sight for even a second. I wish we could grow up parenting our children while bickering with each other. And then someday grow old while having a cup of coffee and sit leisurely on a balcony, basking in sunlight during winters or maybe watching a rainbow in the rainy season. So I just want you with me, no matter if we are laughing or crying, depressed or angry, I just want us to be together.’ Kizy thought while lying in Markus’s arm, content.
Soon the couple was fast asleep, relieved to have each other’s embrace. Finally Kizy and Markus were able to calmly sleep without thinking about the problems behind them.
They were still fast asleep when the door to the VIP ward swung open, though luckily no noise was made.
Yet Markus instantly woke up, only to be met with two pairs of emotional eyes.
Grandma and Mary had come running to the hospital, ecstatic after knowing that Markus had returned while Kizy was pregnant.
Unfortunately all others had left this floor vacant so that the couple won’t be disturbed during their rest. Hence no one was there to stop them from entering.
Markus instantly gave them a happy smile while placing his finger on mouth, gesturing to them to not speak.
Both the ladies instantly understood the signal, while watching Kizy sleeping peacefully in Markus’s arms.
Mary gestured that they both will visit them after sometime, while Markus nodded in return. With that the duo looked at the couple one more time while leaving the ward with satisfied smiles.
The rest of the night went by peacefully with the power couple sticking to each other forever, not letting go for even once. Markus was made to go through various tests and the results couldn’t be anymore normal.
The doctors, especially Dr. Wen had advised Markus to remain hospitalised for another two days. But Markus’s one single glare was enough for him to declare Markus as ‘Too healthy’, which in turns resulted in both him and Kizy being discharged from the hospital immediately.
*6 AM, MARKUS’s HOUSE*
As soon as Kizy and Markus stepped inside the house, a ‘Boom’ was heard with all the servants and maids instantly welcoming their Young master and young madam home, along with a little new life in her womb.
Flower petals were laid as carpets while artificial candles were lit all around. A three tier cake in shades of blue and pink was kept in front of the couple.
After the small celebration, Kizy and Markus were sent back to their room while remaining members started planning for a party.
*MARKUS’s BEDROOM*
Once Markus had closed the door behind him, he instantly hugged Kizy, not letting her go.
“You should not move much and rest well now.” Markus said.
“You are copying my lines Mr. Markus.” Kizy said while playfully looking at Markus’s face.
“Mr. Markus? Guess I need to teach you some things properly, Miss Kizy.” Markus teased back.
“And teach what Mr. Markus?” Kizy asked back while wrapping her hands around Markus’s neck.
And the next moment, their lips collided in a slow and sensual kiss, both of them being utmost gentle.
The kiss wasn’t passionate or lustful, but gentle and emotional, tender and affectionate, as if that one single kiss was enough to make up for all the times they had spent without each other.
Both of them were instantly lost in the kiss, in their own little world where they had no problems, no enemies, no underworld and no business deals.
Markus slowly lifted his right hand and held Kizy’s perfectly chiseled face within his palm, his thumb stroking her cheeks, his lips melding with hers.
And Kizy couldn’t be anymore happier, to loose herself in his silky locks, the ones she loved playing with the most.
She was reminded of all their times before Markus left, their confessions, the super crazy journeys they had travelled, various battles they had fought.
And instantly a tear rolled down her face. Markus immediately broke the kiss before looking at her glistening eyes, still holding her face lovingly.
“Hey, why are you crying? Look, I am here with you. And I am not leaving you again. So please don’t cry.” Markus said while wiping her tears away.
“Please.. please don’t ever leave me like that again.” Kizy said in a voice that broke Markus’s heart in a million pieces.
Even all those wounds and blows had never pained his heart to the extent that Kizy’s crying did.
“You remember the gift you had asked me for our anniversary?” Markus asked.
“Hmmm.” Kizy said while nodding her head.
“I promise. I now promise that I will never leave you.” Markus said, and no more words were needed.
Kizy knew that if Markus had promised her, he would never leave her again.
“But I still give you a chance to think this through Miss Kizy?” Markus said, his voice instantly turning into a playful tone.
“To think what Mr. Markus?” Kizy replied, feeling much better now, especially when she had an assurance in the form of Markus’s promise.
“To think if you seriously want me by your side forever. I should warn you that once I stick to someone, it gets very difficult to get rid of me. In fact you can call it impossible. You will have to tolerate me day and night, at company and at home, in all the ups and down. So are you ready for that?” Markus asked, a childish smile on his face.
“Hmmm. Let me think this through then. I need some time.” Kizy said, being no less dramatic.
Markus instantly made a sulking face. And Kizy, though turning a little red, gave him a quick peck on his cheek, making him smile again.
“How can I let go of my Mr. Devil so simply?” Kizy said while taking Markus towards their bed.
“I want to ask something.” Kizy said as soon as they settled down, her expression and voice all serious.
