A CRAZY LOVE - Episode 109
“Yeah, I would have supported you if your stance was right. I don’t want her to get married forcefully unlike a certain someone made me do.” Kizy said with a poker face, trying hard not to laugh.
“You.. you.. do you have a problem? Is there anything wrong with marrying me?” Markus asked, feeling offended.
“Yes of course. I wanted a handsome and rich man. But I ended up marrying you.” Kizy said.
“Wait wait wait a minute. Am I not rich. Or maybe that can be discussed later. I am the most handsome man in country B that people are dying for. People would have still tried to matchmake me with their daughters if not for announcing you as my fiance. In fact they are waiting for us to break up so that they can get a chance.” Markus said Ç0ç?ily.
“Yeah. Blind people of course.” Kizy said in return.
“Pfffftttt. Kizy, you are the best.” Nicole said, laughing hard.
“You stop laughing. Or should I add some more men to the blind date list?” Markus said, his voice thr_@tening.
“We don’t need you.” Kizy said and started dragging Nicole with her, walking towards grandpa.
“Kizy, what are you doing? At least explain the plan to me.” Nicole said, knowing Kizy would say something on her behalf.
“You just have to lower your head and blush.” Kizy said, not giving much hint.
“Still-” Nicole wanted to speak but Kizy cut her off.
“Shhh. Trust me. And no more talking. Grandpa might hear us.” Kizy said and went near grandpa.
“Grandpa.” Kizy called to seek his attention.
“Yes child. What is it?” Grandpa asked in a doting voice.
“I want to tell you something.” Kizy said.
“Go ahead.” Grandpa said, giving her full attention.
“Not here but somewhere privately.” Kizy said, looking at her surroundings, which was filled with other family members, who were now looking at them, especially Markus and Nicole’s mom and dad.
“Okay. Let’s go to my study.” Grandpa said and immediately the trio was gone.
“Now tell me. What do you want to say?” Grandpa asked, once only he, Kizy and Nicole were remaining.
“Grandpa, actually it is about Nicole.” Kiz said and paused, looking at Nicole who didn’t even know what Kizy was about to talk.
“Ok. I am listening.” Grandpa said, patiently listening.
“Actually grandpa, you must be knowing that her parents are setting her up for countless blind dates. But it is not needed.” Kizy said.
“What do you mean by that? Talk clearly, child. You don’t have to be scared of me.” Grandpa said, his voice as gentle as it could get.
“The thing is grandpa… Nicole likes someone.” Kizy directly went for the ki||.
“What!!” Grandpa said, equally shocked as Nicole who was standing behind Kizy.
“Nicole, is it true?” Grandpa asked, turning towards her.
Nicole, who didn’t even know how to react, just lowered her head, remembering what Kizy had asked her to do.
“You don’t have to hide that Nicole. You are not doing some crime. But just tell me who the guy is. I could do a background search on him.” Grandpa said, instantly forming plans to test this guy.
“Grandpa, actually she has not confessed to the man yet. His profession is obstructing her from expressing her feelings.” Kizy said, making up a random story on the spot.
“What does he do?” Grandpa asked, now thinking seriously.
“He is a teacher. But that is just to cover up his profession. He is actually a ki||er by profession.
Plus Nicole doesn’t even know what she exactly feels for him. So she is waiting. She is waiting to first confirm her own feelings.
And secondly she doesn’t know if the man would reciprocate her feelings. So she is a little confused right now. We just need to give her some time and she would be able to sort out everything.
Just that the blind dates are taking too much of her time, while her parents are not ready to stop the blind dates now.” Kizy said everything in one breath, making valid reasons and speaking it point wise, elaborating every point briefly.
“Ohh I see. ki||ing would be a dangerous profession. But if you truly love him, I will support you just like I supported Markus.
You might not know, but Markus had met me privately after your grandma’s birthday banquet, apologising for not telling me about his love and marrying secretly without my blessings.” Grandpa said, thinking deeply.
‘I knew this. He already loved Kizy from the beginning.’ Nicole thought, a smile appearing on her face while her head was lowered.
‘What else was that devil trying to plan?’ Kizy thought, finding the entire matter fishy.
“Thank you for understanding grandpa.” Kizy immediately said, nudging Nicole.
“Thank you grandpa.” Nicole repeated, understanding Kizy’s signal.
“Also you don’t have to worry about meeting any more men. I will talk with your parents. Go out and have fun. Also send your mom and dad inside.” Grandpa said, making Kizy smile as her plan was a success.
“But grandpa, won’t they scold Nicole for not discussing this with them and directly approaching you?” Kizy asked, trying to protect Nicole from all sides.
“You don’t have to worry about that. They won’t scold her. And you Nicole. I am giving you a time of three months. If you are unable to give me the name by then, I won’t be stopping your blind dates after that.” Grandpa said.
“Yes grandpa.” Nicole said, nodding her head sincerely.
She was already planning to live separately from her parents by then. Three months were enough to plan any other option for herself.
“Now go and send your parents inside.” Grandpa said.
Kizy and Nicole both left the study. Once they had sent Nicole’s parents inside, Nicole immediately hugged Kizy tightly.
“KIZY!! You are the best! Thank you so so much.” Nicole exclaimed.
“Hope you won’t be offended by my method though.” Kizy said, scratching her head a little.
After all, she had paired Nicole with an imaginary man, who didn’t even exist.
“No, not at all. In fact, how did you manage to come up with such a brilliant plan? And if you are so talented in this romantic field, why are you still struggling for your own love life?” Nicole said, and the next moment, she regretted speaking too much.
“Wait. My love life? And who is this love of mine?” Kizy immediately asked Nicole.
But Nicole didn’t answer her.
“Or did Markus spout some other nonsensical lie to you?” Kizy said, doubting Nicole’s words.
“No it’s not like that. By love life I mean when are you and brother going to start a romantic relationship?” Nicole said, trying to cover herself up.
“Me? And romantic relationships? That too with Markus? Nicole, this is never happening.” Kizy answered firmly.
“But why not Kizy? I mean you both have already been married for almost a year now. What are you both waiting for? This much time is enough for even strangers to fall for each other. Not to mention you have known each other since childhood.” Nicole said, trying to help her brother in his love life.
“Exactly. I have known him for a long time. If I never felt anything for him in all these years, why would I suddenly start developing any feelings now?” Kizy asked, as a matter of fact.
“But that was different. Brother always troubled you back in the old days. But I can see that he has changed. He cares for you.” Nicole tried to improve her brothers image a little.
“No Nicole. You are completely mistaken. He cares for me only for the sake of his family.” Kizy said.
“How do you know? Was there never a single moment when he wasn’t good to you? Especially when none of the family members were present.” Nicole still tried, hoping this could help her brother a little.
Kizy genuinely started thinking, and she truly found some instances, starting from their beginning days, when nobody was treating her mom, when she was suffering from her menstrual pain, when he gave her a job in his own company and many such instances.
Even now, any other man might have been angry for not being in a physical relationship with his legally wedded wife, but Markus didn’t. In fact he was very patient and gentle, treating her like some priceless treasure.
She felt warm remembering all that, but another side of her was telling her to not believe it.
‘What if he was doing all this as a part of duty? Maybe he doesn’t like me at all, and thus we are still in the beginning phase of our physical relationship. But why would he be so gentle with me then? Did he truly do all this for me, or did he have some other motive behind it?’
“But what if-” Kizy was still speaking when suddwnly she was interupted.
“What happened? What did you two do?” Markus asked, standing behind Kizy.
“What did we do?” Nicole said.
“Your mom amd dad came out, asking second uncle to not look for any other man for the blind date.” Markus said, not liking this a single bit.
“None of your business.” Nicole said.
“Why not my business. I know all this is happening because my wife was involved. So I should know the details, just in case she would fall into some problem later on. At that time, I would be able to clear her mess.” Markus said, trying to justify his actions.
“I don’t need you to clear my mess.” Kizy said and walked ahead, leaving a frustrated Markus behind.
“Why is nobody being nice to me?” Markus said frustratedly before following behind Kizy.
This way the year end celebration and grandpa’s birthday came to an end.
Next day Kizy woke up early, getting freshed and starting her day positively. She worked out for almost half an hour before bathing and then going towards the kitchen.
“Young miss, do you need anything?” The butler and old chef stood there, waiting for Kizy’s orders along with the head maid.
“No. You people should go. I am making breakfast.” Kizy said and rolled her sleeves, taking out an apron for herself.
“No young miss!!” All three of them shouted together.
“What happened?” Kizy asked in a shocked tone, not knowing what she did wrong.
“How can we let you cook? Just tell us what you want for breakfast, I will make it.” The head chef said while stepping ahead.
“I can make breakfast on my own.” Kizy said.
“But we won’t let that happen. If you want, you can just stand behind us and direct us on how you want your dish, we will follow your order.” Butler said.
“Okay. So my order is for all of you to go back to your rooms and not come out till I call. Is that clear?” Kizy asked.
“No no. If the elder master or elder madam comes to know that we made you cook, they will definitely reprimand us for not doing proper duty.” Head maid said.
“Then is not following my order your duty?” Kizy asked.
“No young miss, how could we dare to do that.” Butler exclaimed.
“Exactly. So I am ordering you to go back to your rooms.” Kizy said.
But all three of them couldn’t make it in themselves to leave their young miss alone, to cook something.
“If I still see anyone out of you after the count of three, I will personally ask grandpa to remove you from your jobs.” Kizy said.
“Young mi-” the old chef was still speaking when Kizy interrupted.
“One.” She said.
All three of them started looking at each other, knowing it was best to leave early.
“Three.” Kizy said loudly.
All the three elderly people were seen running like kids towards their rooms.
‘Young miss, did your maths teacher never taught you that one is followed by two? How did you directly count three after one?’ All three of them thought after running past all the way till their rooms, trying to catch their breath.
On the other hand, a genuine smile could be seen on Kizy’s face.
This was her usual style. Though she would act cold and mean, she always treated people with warmth in her own ways.
“What’s all this fuss about?” A voice was heard from behind.
