EPISODE 22
Kizy looked towards the direction where Markus
was pointing only to get annoyed as he had
pointed towards a highly adventurous roller
coaster which was coiled at several places,
completely impossible for the kids.
“That would suit you better.” Kizy said, pointing
in the opposite direction.
Markus turned to look where Kizy had pointed,
which turned out to be a Haunted house.
Markus instantly turned back, as if he hadn’t
seen what Kizy was pointing at.
“Why don’t you try that?” Kizy said,
remembering how much Markus was afraid
about things like haunted houses or more
accurately about ghosts.
Yes, Markus, the King of Mafia was afraid of
only one thing – Ghosts, something that he
hadn’t even seen.
“That won’t be suitable for kids. Let’s go there.”
Markus showed a carousel, perfect for the
children.
Kizy paused for a moment, as if contemplating
something, but agreed after that.
All the kids were made to sit properly on the
ride. Kizy, Markus, Nicole and Joel stood up on
the side, watching the children and talking with
the owner of the orphanage.
Kizy was busy speaking, reminiscing about her
past year visits with her mom when she felt a
tug at her dress. She bent to see Evie standing
there with tear filled eyes.
“What happened to Evie? Did someone trouble
you?” Kizy asked, kneeling down, enveloping
Evie in a hug.
“They.. they say Evie is short. Ev.. Evie can not
take the… ride.” And Evie started crying with
that.
“Who said that?” Kizy asked, rubbing her back
and wiping her tears away.
Evie pointed towards the worker man who was
handling the ride, responsible for both the ride
and their safety.
Kizy picked Evie in her arms, before going
towards the man.
“Is there a height limit for children?” Kizy asked
the worker.
“Yes ma’am. The kid must be 3 feet 6 inches to
ride this.” The man replied politely.
Kizy thought for a moment, her heart breaking
after looking at Evie’s almost tearing up face.
“What if we have a guardian along with the
kid?” Markus asked from behind.
“That will be guardian’s responsibility.” The
worker replied.
“Okay.” Markus said and looked at Kizy.
“Will you take her responsibility?” Markus asked.
“Yes.” Kizy said, nodding her head.
“Go ride with her then.” Markus said and went
back, as if he had suggested something very
casual.
But Kizy felt happy and warm from inside.
She took Evie with her, and sat on the same ride,
talking with Evie and cheering her up.
Markus went back to his position, watching this
from afar. He felt a different kind of happiness
after watching Kizy look so adorable with a little
girl, riding that carousel.
He directly took out his phone and clicked some
candid photos of Kizy, laughing and talking
with Evie lovingly and posted it on his social
media account.
After the press conference, he had posted a
picture of him and Kizy together. But afterwards
no news was heard from the couple.
Thus as soon as Markus posted the photo, the
couple was once again the hottest topic,
trending everywhere amongst the netizens.
“Whoa!! My goddess looks so beautiful!”
“Happy birthday Kizy!”
“I have never seen such a tender side to her.”
“Who is that little girl though?”
“This PDA is ki||ing me!”
“Miss Kizy is the epitome of beauty. No matter
what she does, she always looks beautiful.”
“That little girl looks so cute along with Miss
Kizy.”
“Mr. Markus, please have mercy on us single
dogs.”
“I wish Markus and Kizy would ride the carousel
together!”
And this way the couple was once again in
limelight, without even doing something. They
had millions of fan following, crossing popular
celebrities.
The kids played one ride after another, enjoying
their time as usually they were never taken so
far away.
In fact there were some who had never been or
seen an amusement park before. Therefore they
were enjoying their best times right now.
And Kizy was enjoying every ride with Evie, as
majority of the rides had a height limit for them.
Kizy was talking with Evie, asking her what she
wanted to eat when suddenly a loud shriek was
heard and the ferris wheel they were riding
stopped mid air.
Kizy instantly looked out of her compartment,
only to see a seven year old boy hanging down
from his compartment, barely holding the edge.
Her own compartment was in the middle while
the boys compartment was high above, four
compartments away from her.
“Shawn!!” The kids and orphanage owner
shouted from below, crying the name of a boy
who was hanging mid air.
“Wait for me. Don’t move at all. Promise?” Kizy
asked Evie in a gentle voice.
“Evie promises Kizy.” Evie said, making a pinky
promise.
Kizy opened the door to their compartment and
stepped out, but she turned back once again.
“Don’t move.” Kizy said, this time in a stern
voice.
Evie nodded at her and Kizy agilely came out of
her compartment, climbing on the metal double
pole which was holding the compartments in
place.
“Kiz-” Markus was about to call her name when
Nicole stopped him.
“Don’t distract her.” She said, worriedly looking
at Kizy who was climbing the next metal pole,
one foot hanging mid air, another one resting on
the bar placed between the double poles.
And within one minute, Kizy had reached the
metal pole attached to the compartment where
the boy was hanging.
She moved towards the compartment, reaching
just at the level of the compartment, balancing
herself on a single bar attached between the
two poles.
But the main issue was – how to reach that boy?
Because he was at a height lower than her and
he would have to extend his hand above, which
kind of looked impossible, given his scared
state of mind.
“Shawn, listen. I am here. You don’t have to be
scared anymore. Okay?” Kizy said, trying to give
him some assurance.
“No.. Kizy. I’ll… I’ll fall down.” The boy said,
bawling his eyes out.
“Do you trust me, Shawn?” Kizy asked, in a more
gentle and calm voice.
“Ye.. yess Kizy.” Shawn replied.
“Then just close your eyes for a minute, and
don’t move. Hold on to that surface firmly. Trust
me you’ll be safe when I ask you to open your
eyes.” Kizy said in a soothing voice.
“On the count of three, close your eyes. Okay?”
She asked.
Shawn just nodded his head, still crying badly.
“One, two, three!” Kizy said and Shawn closed
his eyes as promised, holding on to the
compartment edge firmly.
Kizy balanced herself on both of her legs,
extending both arms towards Shawn.
“That’s so dangerous!” Nicole exclaimed from
below.
“Young Miss has performed even more
dangerous stunts than this.” Joel said,
remembering the previous day where he was
beaten badly by the Young Miss.
Jack and Alex were so scared of her that they
didn’t even dare to follow her today.
“Where is Bro?” Nicole asked, looking around to
search for him, but Markus was nowhere seen.
In the meantime, Kizy had picked Shawn in her
arms. Shawn had still closed his eyes tightly out
of fear.
Kizy carefully reached a little ahead, and placed
Shawn inside the compartment, his feet finally
touching solid ground.
“Open your eyes.” Kizy said gently, her body still
being supported only by her legs on that single
metal bar.
Shawn slowly opened his eyes, his crying had
stopped after he felt the ground beneath his
feet.
“Thank you Kizy!” He said and was about to
smile when he shrieked loudly.
Kizy who had barely stood back on the metal
bar, slipped from it.
All the people standing below felt their heart
stop for a minute. All of them were very much
attached to Kizy.
Though Kizy had a few close people, all of them
were dear to her. Thus Kizy was equally
important to all of them.
Kizy, who had just slipped from the pole, had
closed her eyes, knowing that she was about to
fall very badly, and she definitely didn’t want to
see the process. She was preparing her posture
to land in a relatively safe position.
But the next moment she felt herself being
embraced in a strong pair of arms and heard
this voice.
“Your safety first little lamb.” Markus said.
Kizy opened her eyes, to see that both she and
Markus were standing on a metal pole, lower
than the pole where Shawn’s compartment was
present.
“How?” Kizy asked, confusedly, not knowing
how and when Markus had reached there.
“Stupid woman! At least confirm whether you
are safe before saving someone else. What if
you would have fallen with the boy?” Markus
asked, his tone reprimanding.
Kizy gave him a foolish smile before quickly
climbing down, knowing that she was in the
wrong.
“You… you just wait.” She heard Markus speak
behind him.
Both of them quickly got down in no time and
the ferris wheel was started again and all the
children came out one after another.
Shawn thanked Kizy again and again, stopping
only when she thr_@tened him that she won’t
talk to him anymore.
They all had ice cream and other delicacies,
before Markus arranged for the children and
owner of the orphanage to return back to C city.
Kizy bade her goodbye to all the kids, promising
to come and meet them at the orphanage soon.
“Let’s have some fun now.” Markus said.
“What fun?” Kizy asked.
“Let’s ride those.” He said, pointing towards the
adventure rides which were not allowed for
children.
“Sure. But I want to make a wish.” Kizy said with
a smirk, having some other plans in mind.
“What?” Markus asked, though knowing what
Kizy would be saying.
“You will accompany me to the Haunted house.”
Kizy said.
“You think I am afraid of that? It’s just that all of
us would be tired after riding those. So why to
exhaust ourselves even more. I am thinking of
all of us.
Plus this is far from our place. We will have to
travel an hour long ride to reach home, why to
waste time on such non adventurous places?”
Markus said, trying to justify himself.
“Then let’s not waste our time. Let’s go directly
to the haunted house.” Kizy said purposefully.
“Fine! As if I am afraid of it.” Markus tried to
make it sound nonchalant, but anyone could
feel his tension.
With that, both of them along with Nicole and
Joel went inside the haunted house.
“Do we have to follow them? We can enjoy other
rides.” Nicole asked Joel.
“For their protection.” Joel replied in a serious
tone.
“Fine.” Nicole said and unenthusiastically
walked inside.
But by the time she came out, she was literally
dying from laughter.
Whenever a ghost would appear suddenly,
Markus would tightly hold on to Kizy, hugging
her twice during the process.
In fact at the end, a ghost suddenly appeared
from behind, tapping Markus’s shoulder.
Markus was so scared that he directly took out
the gun from his blazer’s pocket and pointed at
the man acting as a ghost.
The man stood there frozen, watching someone
react like this for the first time when met with
ghosts.
Even Kizy and Joel were laughing loudly after
exiting.
“Bro!! How can you point a gun at that poor
man. He was just acting as a ghost.” Nicole
said, laughing till her heart’s content.
“I thought that some enemy was sneak
attacking, thus I reacted like that.” Markus said,
justifying himself.
“Yes of course. You were protecting us.” Kizy
said while taking out a tissue paper from her
bag and wiping the sweat on Markus’s
forehead.
“I am sweating because it was very hot inside
the haunted house.” And Markus once again
terribly failed at his false explanations.
Finally the four of them were done with the
amusement park for today. They left in their
respective vehicles.
After coming out of the haunted house, Nicole
and Joel weren’t that formal with each other,
especially with Nicole revealing funny moments
from their childhood and how Markus was as a
child.
They reached Markus’s house. Joel and Nicole
were getting out of the car when they saw that
Markus and Kizy were already walking towards
the house.
Both of them followed the couple inside. Nicole
had packed her bags and was about to leave for
her home while Joel wanted to confirm if he
was needed anymore.
Markus and Kizy sat on the sofa, tired from
today’s activities.
“Come and sit with us.” Kizy gestured to Joel
who was standing ramrod behind Markus.
“No young miss.” He said politely.
“So you like kids?” Markus asked, watching how
happy Kizy was, especially with Evie.
“No. I don’t like kids.” Kizy said, confusing not
only Markus, but Nicole and Joel as well.
