"Okay. At least let me speak.

" Kizy said, her voice complaining.

nWith that she explained her story, where her mom had met that fatal accident and no hospital was ready to treat her.

nShe even said how thankful she was towards Nina's father, who had at least helped them with finding a bed. But he was helpless against the management.

nShe explained her marriage deal with Markus, and her life later on, including how he always troubled her, but occasionally was good to her.

n

"Oh my god!! So what you mean is you are marri-''Nina was about to exclaim loudly when Kizy immediately covered her mouth with her palm, stopping her from speaking further.

n

"Sshhhh!! Don't shout. Nobody knows about this!

" Kizy said in a lowered voice.

nNina nodded at her statement and removed her hand which was covering Nina's mouth.

n

"Girl, this is such big news! I never thought you would end up with that rogue. Does he bother you a lot now?

" Nina asked, calming down a little.

n

"Not much. Just that he is always bickering with me, and occasionally trouble me. Rest all is fine.

" Kizy said.

n

"Are you happy though?

" Nina asked, her tone serious.

nIf this question had been asked a year ago, her answer would have been an immediate rejection.

nBut after spending almost a year with Markus, she felt that he wasn't that bad. Though he troubled her a lot, she would also take care of her.

nTake her periods for example. Though her menstrual cramps had subsided relatively by the second day, he didn't allow her to visit their relatives or other friends.

nEven while eating with his friends, he didn't forget her periods and ordered hot chocolate to help her out.

nThus Kizy thought for a moment before answering.

n

"I won't lie. But it isn't as bad as I expected it to be.

" Kizy said.

n

"Good for you. Anyways since you don't have any problems, I won't say anything and forgive you this one time. But promise me that you will never hide anything from me.

" Nina said, her tone leaving no room for discussion.

nAnd suddenly Kizy froze. She was silent, confused about what she should do. She had hidden her previous profession, along with Markus's original profession from Nina.

nSo how could she promise that she won't hide anything from her? Finally she took a deep breath.

n

"Nina look. There are few things that I can't disclose, not at least right now. Maybe I'll tell you when the time is right. But till then I can not promise you anything.

" Kizy said sincerely.

n

"So there is more to the story?

" Nina asked.

n

"Yeah.

" Kizy said, feeling a little guilty.

n

"Fine. I won't press you. I just hope that you will always remain happy and will seek me whenever you are troubled.

" Nina said, sinerely wishing for her.

n

"You are the bes-

" Kizy was still speaking when suddenly someone called her.

n

"KIZY!!

" Ruth exclaimed while happily hopping towards Kizy, like a child would after watching their parents.

n

"Here she is.

" Kizy said to Nina, while looking at Ruth, who was wearing a pink sweatshirt over skin fit blue jeans, while wearing pink sneakers and tying her hairs into a high ponytail, making her look even more younger.

n

"She looks younger than us.

" Nina said immediately.

n

"Yes. She is.

" Kizy replied while greeting Ruth with a huge smile.

n

"Good morning young miss.

" Joel greeted while following behind his younger sibling.

n

"Good morning Joel. Thanku you for dropping her.

" Kizy said with a smile.

n

"No young miss. In fact I should thank you for looking out for Ruth. Sorry for troubling you.

" Joel said, feeling a little embarassed.

n

"She is no less than my younger sister. You can rest assured. Anyways meet her. She is my friend, Nina.

" Kizy said, while introducing Nina to Ruth and Joel.

n

"Hello Miss Nina.

" Joel greeted.

n

"Hi Nina!

" Ruth exclaimed.

n

"Hii.

" Ruth replied politely.

n

"This is Joel. And she is his younger sister, Ruth.

" Kizy said.

nNina smiled at both of them.

n

"Also since I won't be their at office today, will you please help Markus with the 'Riverside' project?

" Kizy asked.

n

"Young miss, you don't have to request me. And don't worry, I already checked the file before coming here. I will pass it to boss after rechecking it once again.

" Joel said and after few more minutes of polite exchange, he went back, leaving Ruth with Kizy and Nina.

n

"So Ruth, where should we start our shopping from? And did you have your breakfast?

" Kizy asked, knowing that once they started shopping, they won't stop early.

n

"Yes I had my breakfast. And I don't have anything particular in mind for shopping. I will follow you.

" Ruth said.

nWith that, Kizy hooked hands with Nina and Ruth, directing them towards various shops.

nKizy bought new headphones for Nina, knowing how much she loved headphones, while she bought a denim dungaree dress, ending just above her thighs.

nThough Ruth insisted to pay for herself, as Markus paid her, plus Joel had given her extra money along with warnings to behave, Kizy didn't let her pay anywhere, saying younger sister never needs to carry a wallet when elder sister is there.

nThus she ended up recieving a cute bunny hairband from Ruth, while Nina bought her black leather shoes.

nThe girls enjoyed a lot, clicking photos at random places, eating various delicacies, while chit chatting on all sorts of topics.

nNone of them felt that they were meeting after long, or hanging out for the first time. All of them were behaving as if they had been knowing each other.

nEspecially Nina liked Ruth a lot, most importantly her bubbly nature, which made people like her more.

nBut unknown to all three of them, someone had been following their actions since the begining.

nKizy even felt that she was being watched by someone, thus she would ocassionally turn around, checking out her surroundings as her intuitions were never wrong.

nBut she couldn't find anyone. Thus the only thing she could do was stay alert, especially when she was accompanying two girls.

n

"I think she is suspecting that someone is following her. What should we do? And she is accompanied by two more girls, almost her age.

" A man said through his bluetooth.
