A CRAZY LOVE - Episode 166
Once the sound of the bike stopping from speed of 240 mph to zero had died down, the back wheel was back to ground with only silence surrounding both the figures.
It was eerily silent and Kizy, who was thunderstruck after watching that person, couldn’t move an inch.
‘No no. This is not real. Something’s wrong. This can’t be happening.’ She tried telling herself while shaking her intuitions away.
Finally the person decided to break this silence. He moved forward while taking slow steps, his shoes creating the only noise while Kizy still kept looking at him, wide eyed.
It took him almost a minute to reach her before he lifted his hand, only to remove her helmet. As soon as the helmet was gone, a tear rolled down her face, unable to believe what was happening with her.
“Are you alright, my little lamb?” Markus asked in a gentle voice, the same question he had asked months ago when he had saved Kizy from Aaron.
Kizy was unable to answer him as more tears started flowing and finally Kizy burst out crying, loud, especially loud for the silence surrounding them.
“Sorry. I am sorry for giving you a hard time. Sorry for leaving you behind alone. Sorry for hiding the truth. Sorry for not keeping my promise. And, sorry for arriving late.” Markus said in a low voice, full of guilt.
All this time Kizy just looked at Markus through her teary eyes, his face, which was now covered in stubble while his skin looked tanned. But he felt different, as if this one single month had made him go through hell, transforming him in different ways.
Markus lifted his hand to hold Kizy’s face, wanting to feel every inch of skin he had been missing, to shower her with kisses all over, to feel her warmth and to do things that even he didn’t know.
But the moment he held her face, Kizy closed her eyes, and Markus felt all her weight on his hand.
It took him a moment to realize that Kizy had fainted after crying terribly for mere seconds. And once he understood what had happened, he could no longer keep his cool.
“Kizy! KIZYY!! wake up little lamb!” He tried to call her in a panicked voice, but to no avail.
He desperately searched her body for a phone, but Kizy, who had been wanting to run away from all this mess, was definitely not going to make a mistake by carrying a phone with her. And his own phone had died down moments ago, making all this situation even more troublesome.
‘#k! I can not keep waiting like this.’ Markus thought to himself.
With that he picked Kizy up after a lot of difficulty, finally managing to carry her princess style. With that he sat on the bike himself while placing Kizy on the fuel tank.
‘Dear wifey, couldn’t you drive a simpler bike? Must you give me an inferiority complex this way?’ Markus thought, not knowing how they would be reaching home.
He had learnt to drive a bike for emergency cases only, which meant he was taught to ride simpler bikes, not some Kawasaki Ninja H2R!
Plus having Kizy sit on the fuel tank was making it more difficult for him than he had imagined.
‘God please save us! Kizy we are going to the hospital, you will be fine soon.’ And with this thought, Markus finally started the bike, slowly taking a U-turn while grunting, a big task in itself.
‘Why are we on the southern mountain range!!’ Markus thought as the first turn approached while his bike went off.
He had been trying to start the bike again when he felt that a vehicle was approaching them.
He was instantly on high alert, while slowly moving the bike behind. He picked Kizy up and made her sit with her back supported by mountain rocks in such a way that she was hidden behind the bike.
Meanwhile Markus had already taken his gun out, ready to ki|| anyone if the situation arose.
He could hear that the vehicle was mere metres away from them and would reach there any second.
And true to his expectations, he saw the lights coming, while he stood beside the bike on one side of the road, waiting for the vehicle.
As soon as the car had taken a turn, it was met with the scene of a man standing beside a bike, and the car took a screeching halt.
“Boss!!” Joel was the first person to climb out of the car and run towards Markus, making Markus relax.
But the next moment, Joel’s body collided into Markus’s, something that no one had anticipated.
“Boss!! Boss you are finally back!! You won’t understand how much I have missed you. Please don’t ever leave me behind again. No matter where you go, I will follow you like a shadow.” Joel said in one single breath, tears brimming his eyes as his voice was cracking a little.
‘Why do I feel that these should have been Kizy’s lines instead of his? I was expecting her to react like that, not Joel.’ Markus thought while being frozen in his place, not knowing whether he should laugh or cry at his secretary’s antiques.
“Kizy!!” Suddenly Nicole exclaimed from behind.
Immediately, Joel let go of Markus while looking at him wide eyed.
“How can I forget!! Boss, Young madam has gone missing. We can not waste anymore-” Joel was still speaking when Markus simply pointed towards Kizy’s direction, where Nicole and Rose were already sitting beside her, while Markus himself went to her side.
“Are you alright brother? And where did you meet her?” Nicole asked while looking at Markus, noticing the changes.
“What happened to her? How did you find and meet her?” It was grandpa who cleared his voice and talked after composing himself, making Markus turn his head towards him.
Even grandpa’s eyes had teared a little after watching his grandson back, but being the tsundere grandpa as always, he was hellbent to not let anyone see this side of him. Hence when all others, or more appropriately Joel was creating a scene, he had pushed his emotions back and calmed himself down before paying attention to Kizy who was sitting unconscious resting by the mountain rocks.
“Let’s take her to the hospital first. She felt a little feverish and suddenly fainted. We can discuss everything later.” Markus said before lifting Kizy in his arms Princess style.
He then went towards the car while Rose promptly opened the back passenger door, letting Markus and Kizy enter inside.
“Do you mind coming with me on the bike?” Rose asked Nicole who shook her head, signalling a No.
With that Joel started the engine while Grandpa sat on the first passenger seat. Markus sat behind while he made Kizy sleep comfortably on the back seat, with her head resting gently on his lap as he stroked her hairs.
Grandpa and Joel, both knowing that Markus needed some time to calm himself down and pay attention to Kizy, didn’t speak another word while driving back towards the city, headed towards Unity hospital.
Rose started the bike while Nicole sat behind her, following closely behind Joel’s car.
“I still can’t believe that brother is back. Don’t you think he looked a little different right now?” Nicole said.
“He is injured.” Rose said in a monotonous voice.
“What?? Seriously? Where? How do you know?” Nicole asked, unable to remain calm anymore, especially when it was about her recently returned brother.
“Inform Jason and others that we have found Kizy plus Markus is back. Tell them to reach the hospital directly.” Rose said.
“Oh yes. They all must be worried even now.” Nicole said while taking her mobile out.
She was about to dial Jason when she suddenly hit the back button, before searching for Victor’s name, not knowing why she did that.
“Hello.” Victor’s voice could be heard from the other side.
“Hello Victor. Kizy, we found-” Nicole was still speaking when Victor cut her off.
“What about second sister? Is she alright? Did you find her? Was she-” Victor started speaking, his voice high pitched while he was tense.
“Victor listen first!” Nicole exclaimed, making him shut his mouth.
“Okay.” He said in a low tone.
“Kizy was found near the Southern Mountain range with brother. But she fainted, so brother insisted on taking her to the Unity hospital. You head there as well.” Nicole said.
“Second sister fainted? And Markus is back?” Victor asked, not expecting both the incidents, at least not together.
“Yeah.” Nicole replied.
“Ok, we will be there soon.” Victor replied.
“Yeah-” Nicole was still speaking when she heard a beep, signalling that Victor had already ended the call.
Rose just gave a slight smile while driving the bike, happy about all the things that were happening around her, especially related to her close people.
Inside the car, both Joel and grandpa wanted to speak so many things that they opened their mouths a dozen times, only to shut up again.
“Boss, we have reached.” Finally Joel spoke, only to inform Markus about arriving at the Hospital.
The moment Markus climbed out of the car, Joel immediately went back to his PA mode, calling the bodyguards to protect Markus and Kizy as they were sure to cause a ruckus for their sudden appearance.
Secondly he called Mr. Wen, who was head of the hospital, informing him about Markus’ arrival, before following behind Markus along with grandpa.
And thankfully, Mr. Wen was seen standing at the gates, a polite smile on his face, which soon died down after watching Kizy unconscious in Markus’s arm.
Without delaying another minute, he immediately signalled the staff, who were quick enough to bring a stretcher, and made Kizy lay down on it, with Markus not leaving her side for even a second.
“What exactly happened Mr. Markus?” Finally Dr. Wen asked after gathering enough courage to speak with Markus.
“She suddenly fainted. Treat her right now!” Markus said in a flat voice, terrorizing all the staff, Mr. Wen included.
The nurse was wheeling Kizy inside, but suddenly stopped at the entry door.
Markus just gave her a murderous look, making her wanting to cry from fear.
“You will have to wait outside till the doctors are examining Young Madam.” Dr. Wen said in the lowest possible audible voice, trying to rescue his staff from Markus’s rage.
“I. Am. Not. Letting. Her. Stay. Alone.” Markus said, stressing on every single word.
“Stay back. Let them do their job. You will only make it bad for both Kizy as well as the doctors.” Grandpa said from behind, not wanting Markus to create a scenario as soon as he returned.
He could of course understand that Kizy’s condition was troubling Markus. Returning after a month and then the first thing to witness is your wife collapsing in front of you, will make any husband worried, not to mention how protective Markus was about Kizy.
“But grandpa-” Markus was about to refute when suddenly a voice interrupted him.
“She has been like this since the day you left. Where were you back then? She has suffered a lot more than what you are watching right now. So stop being unnecessarily stubborn, you are interrupting them from giving her proper treatment.” Victor said while holding Markus from his collar, pushing him directly against the wall with full force.
Markus groaned from pain while Rose and Nicole instantly ran up to them, separating Victor from Markus.
“Stop it!!” Nicole shouted at Victor while hitting him on the chest, anger visible on her face.
Rose instantly supported Markus a little before walking towards the nurse and other staff.
“Take her inside and start with her treatment.” Rose said in a calm and collected tone.
“Why? Am I wrong?” Victor asked in a deathly cold voice, even making Nicole shiver a little.
