A CRAZY LOVE - Episode 160
“Hello everyone.” Kizy started and the entire audience went pin drop silence.
And why will they not be? They were dying to hear any piece of news about Markus and Kizy. Now that they had Kizy, they could only be all ears to her answer.
“First of all sorry for making you all worried. I sincerely thank you all for your concern.” Kizy said with a polite smile pasted on her face, looking no less than an experienced business woman.
“Secondly, let’s first attend the main event, which is the award show. Once the programme ends, I’ll answer all your questions.” Kizy answered before bowing and going towards the main hall, leaving all the reporters mesmerized by her strong aura.
‘True to her name – Ice queen.’ This was the only thought that all the reporters had.
Soon the award show started and ‘Stardust’ was literally sweeping all the awards away. Any field where ‘Stardust’ had a nomination meant ‘Stardust’ was the winner.
In barely two hours, the award ceremony came to an end with some dances and an orchestra to entertain the people from the business world.
Once done, a dinner was organized for people to expand their network in their own fields. And as expected, Kizy had people lined up to meet her.
Since these businessmen were unable to reach Markus, the closest way they found was to get in contact with Kizy.
Hence for the entire one and half hour that was given for business dinner, Kizy had no lack of visitors.
Thankfully Nicole and Joel were there to tag along with Kizy, or else it would have been a real difficult task for her to handle everyone on her own.
“Young madam.” Joel said while coming from somewhere.
“Yes?” Kizy replied.
“The reporters have been waiting at the gate for your answers. They want to know when you will be done?” Joel asked in a respectful manner.
“Let’s not make them wait much. I am almost done. I need to meet Mr. William for a moment and then I am done.” Kizy answered.
“Ok. Then Miss Nicole and I would be waiting for you at the gates with reporters.” Joel said and left.
Kizy had to speak a little with three more businessmen before she finally met Mr. William.
“Mr. William.” She called out, a genuine smile appearing on her face for the first time this evening.
Mr. William was one of those few people who had managed to get into Kizy’s close people circle within a very short span of time.
“Kizy! How are you doing girl? Didn’t get to hear anything about you two since the anniversary.” Mr. William replied cheerfully, happy to meet Kizy again.
“I am good. Was busy with some matters for the past few days. How is business going? All well?” Kizy asked again, as if meeting some close acquaintance after a long time.
“I am doing fine. We will be opening a new branch soon. Do visit it once it’s ready.” Mr. William said with a smile, his voice lowering a little after getting weird glances from people surrounding them.
“Sure. How can I not? Especially when I am getting a free meal from you, I am definitely not missing out on it!!” Kizy said with equal energy.
“Deal then. You will be my first customer for the new hotel.” Mr. William said.
The duo talked a little before shifting towards a corner and discussing something in a serious tone.
“Are you sure about this?” Mr. William asked after thinking everything through.
“Yes. I have thought all the options over but this one is the best. I just hope you could lend me a helping hand for this one though.” Kizy said.
“Hmmm. If that is how I can help, then I will definitely. But promise me that you will take care of yourself. You are no less than my own daughter, and this is the only thing I can ask from you.” Mr. William said, his tone genuine.
“Don’t worry about me. I will be alright. Please just help me with this once.” Kizy replied in an almost pleading tone, something that she rarely did.
“Okay I will.” Mr. William said, nodding his head.
Kizy and Mr. William talked for a few more minutes before Kizy eventually left for the gates, ready to answer the media and reporters.
Unknown to her, all her actions were being watched by someone from the dark. Every single movement by Kizy was being tracked to the top.
Kizy simply walked her way to the gates, taking a deep breath before making the last turn towards the door.
And just because it was Kizy, people or more appropriately reporters were ready to wait, to wait without any complaints at the gate.
“Young Madam! How are you doing?”
“Kizy please answer us!”
“Where is Mr. Markus? Why are you not attending this award show together?”
“Why were you absent from all the past shows?”
“We habe been missing our power couple! When will we get to see both of you together?”
All the flashlights were being showered upon her while she stood still, waiting for the reporters to turn silent.
“First of all sorry for making you all wait this long. I thought I will be done soon, but it took me more time than needed, making you stand here at the gates.” Kizy said and paused.
“No Kizy, not at all. Don’t apologize.” All of them replied in unison.
“Secondly, as for our absence from the public event, we were busy planning. As you can see from our results, the company is working hard to achieve greater heights and for that we need to work even harder.
Both Markus and I have set some goals for ourselves and we both are trying our level best to succeed in them.
Thirdly, I want to share a very important piece of news to you all. This news is also one of the reasons why we both have not been attending any shows.” Kizy said and paused, letting all the reporters digest her information before she could bombard them with anything new.
All the reporters immediately started whispering to each other, wondering what new information was hidden from them for as long as a month by this power couple.
Even Nicole and Joel, who were standing on both sides behind Kizy, were a little stunned at Kizy’s sudden declaration. They were unaware about wh@??ver plans Kizy had made to tackle their questions, hence they were hoping that Kizy must have had a master plan in her brain to solve it.
“But you all being our family, I took the decision to not hide anything from you all.
Therefore the news is…
I am Pregnant.” Kizy said slowly and clearly, making sure that every single person standing would understand her.
But the words that she said were so sudden for all the reporters that they were stunned speechless for some time, before eventually their jaws dropped to the ground.
“What!!! Congratulations!!” Some lady shouted from behind, finally making all the reporters come out from their dazed state.
They all similarly started congratulating Kizy, wishing her all the best for the new journey that she was about to take, even clapping for her.
Except two people who were shocked to their cores and looking at Kizy with bewildered expressions.
‘Young madam.. preg.. pregnant!! God!! Boss is definitely gonna ki|| me if he ever comes to know about this! $h|t $h|t $h|t! What should I do? Why did young Madam break the news in such a high key manner! I can’t even control the news anymore… what should I…
Wait! Is she truly pregnant or is it just some trap? Holy $h|t! If this is a trap, even then Young madam is taking this too far away. What should I do? #k!! I can not do anything!!’ Joel’s thoughts were running at lightning speed, while Nicole was not behind.
‘What the heck!! Finally bro managed to do this!! This low EQ couple finally managed to make a baby!! Wait a minute.. I will be an aunt now!! Gosh the thought itself is ki||ing me with joy… no no, calm down Nicole!! Let’s go shopping tomorrow!! Aaahhh!!’ Nicole’s mind was literally jumping from excitement.
“Thank you everyone for your kind wishes. I intend to enjoy some private life with my husband and upcoming baby, which was also the reason for our absence from the public eye for the past few days. This award show was my last opportunity to break this news to you all.
After this, both me and Markus will be focusing only on our baby and company. So hope you all will understand us and help us keep our life private and unseen to the social world. I once again apologize for keeping you all in the dark and thank you all for caring about us so much. Good night!” Kizy said and took a step ahead, immediately being surrounded by Jack and Alex from front while Joel and Nicole walked behind her.
All the media people were smart enough to take two steps back, terrified that any mishap to Kizy or her baby would lead to their doom.
“Please take good care of yourself and the baby. We would be waiting for this little bundle of joy! Live long our power couple! Live long ‘MarKiz’. We support your decision entirely!” These were the statements made by the reporters while they made way for Kizy to walk till her car.
Once Kizy had walked past everyone, she turned around, only to see that all the eyes were still glued to her.
She gave one last smile, and a slight bow, making all the reporters worried sick, before finally leaving and climbing the car.
“Kizy!! How can you not tell me about this pregnancy!! Afterall the aunt should be the first person to know. I am sad!” Nicole said with a dramatic expression.
“Young Madam, you were lying right?” Joel asked, not paying any attention to Nicole’s antiques.
“Hmmmm.” Kizy simply hummed, making Nicole shocked for the second time consecutively.
“What!!” Nicole exclaimed, her mind processing all the information once again.
“But won’t that do more harm than good?” Joel asked.
“I don’t know. Please take me back home. I feel tired.” Kizy said before shutting her eyes and resting her head on the headrest.
Joel took a deep breath before signaling the driver, who instantly understood and drove them back home.
Within half an hour, Kizy was back at her gates. She climbed out of the car, intending to walk inside home when she paused.
“Joel.” She called out.
Joel, who was about to return home, stopped.
“Yes, young madam.” Joel replied sincerely.
“I know that my decision might seem wrong to you, but I have my reasons.” Kizy said, trying to explain things to Joel as he was not only Markus’s PA, but a good friend to Markus and her.
“No, no young madam. I wasn’t doubting your decision. Sorry if you felt that way. I was just worried about my boss.” Joel said in an honest voice.
He had been momentarily disturbed by Kizy’s statement, but internally he very well knew that no one could be thinking about his boss’s wellbeing more than his young madam.
Plus he had personally witnessed Kizy’s capability, leaving no room for doubts about her decision.
“Hmmm. Anyways take good care of Ruth and Nina.” Kizy said and turned back, walking inside the house, leaving a stumped Joel behind.
He had wanted to speak, and even call back Kizy, but alas he decided not to. He bowed to her diminishing figure, even though she was unable to see him.
He gave a sad smile once Kizy was inside, before turning around and sitting back in the car.
“Why did you bow when Lady boss was not watching?” The driver asked curiously.
“Respect need not be shown every single time.” Joel replied.
On the other hand, Kizy, who had simply wanted to go back and take some rest, was successfully held back by the glares of her team members, The Black Command.
