273 273. Though Markus is a jerk
“Sit here.” Rose said, patting the place beside herself on the bed.
“First sister, can you not scold me?” Kizy asked in a meek voice while lowering her head and sitting at a little distance from Rose.
“Second sister, look at me.” Rose said and Kizy instantly lifted her head, not wanting to anger Rose anymore.
Kizy knew that yesterday her emotions took the best of her and she was about to make a grave mistake from it. Right from the decision about her fake pregnancy to the statement where she mentioned about dying, she knew that every single decision was wrong.
But it was like she was unable to control her emotions anymore. It now felt the other way round, as if her emotions were controlling her.
“I am not going to scold you. I just want you to speak everything to me clearly. Even if it is a minor problem, be it related to the company or your personal life, I want you to talk about it. Don’t keep it to yourself and suppress your emotions. Is that okay?” Rose said in the most gentle tone she had ever used for Kizy.
Kizy just looked at her first sister for a minute before nodding.
“Fool. This is what I am telling you. Just speak up whatever you feel.” Rose said while a smile bloomed on her face.
She placed both her hands on Kizy’s shoulders, and came a little closer to her.
“Second sister, we have been through life and death situations. We have already seen each other at our worst. We don’t even have our dark pasts to hide from each other. Then what are you worried about? Remember that I will never judge you for any decision you make. Just that I want you to tell me about it beforehand. I want you to tell me whatever is going on in that little brain of yours. Will that work?” Rose said patiently, knowing that rushing things or even scolding Kizy would end up making the situation worse.-.
Kizy looked at Rose for sometime, as if searching for something, or maybe making sure she wanted to do it.
“First sister, I miss Markus. I feel suffocated without him. The first month was still okay because he had promised to return after that. I would keep telling myself that Markus will be back in a month.
But.. but now that it is past the time period he gave me, I can not help but be worried sick about him. Is he alright? Is he in trouble because of me? What if something happens to Markus?
All these questions are revolving around me 24
/7 and I have no solution.
How am I… Am I supposed to feel secure this way? No matter whatever he arranged for me, how amI supposed to live peacefully this way? It would have been better if I was to die saving him rather than sit here and count every minute for his return.” Kizy said while tears rolled down her face.
“First sister, I will be honest. Though Markus is no less than a jerk to me for causing you all this pain, there is one thing I am sure about. He loves you dearly. In fact he loves you more than his own life. And if not for that, he wouldn’t have left your side even for a second.
So if he has promised you that he will return, he will definitely do that. You know that his path won’t be safe. So there might be things delaying his plans, but he will return back. Have faith in him and just trust his promise.
This is not the time to cry over his return. Instead you should be achieving greater heights and wait with a smirk on your face to welcome that devil. Show him that you did what he had asked you for.
Bring back that first sister who was able to shatter everything around her just to achieve what she wanted. Our gun goddess, our ice queen who never deviates one she has focused her goal.
Just set your goals, think what you want to do for his return and act accordingly. You are more than enough to do this single handedly. And if you ever need help, we have got your back.
So what are you crying about?” Rose asked, her voice getting a pitch higher with every statement, while ultimately coming back to her initially gentle voice by the last statement.
Kizy, who had felt all her emotions in the last five minutes, finally nodded. Her heart and brain, which had been going against each other until now were once again back in sync. The past five minutes had given her all the answers she was searching for.
She wiped her own tears away before hugging Rose tightly.
“Thank you first sister. I will not commit the same mistake again. And sorry for making you all worried.” Kizy said.
“You don’t have to thank or even apologize to me Kizy. Now go and talk to Jason. He was more troubled about your situation than anyone else.
Also I have asked First brother to attend the office and handle work for today while you will be on leave. Is that okay?” Rose asked, internally relaxing as she felt Kizy coming back to normal.
She didn’t know if whatever she said or did was correct or not, but the aura, the strong aura that Kizy was emanating at the moment was enough to make her relieved.
“Ok. No problem. I will take it as a holiday and try to plan out a proper schedule for upcoming days.” Kizy said while her brain was already working over it.
“Hmmm. Good.” Rose said while nodding.
“I will go and meet Jason now.” Kizy said, getting up from the bed and turning towards the door.
But then she turned back again to face Rose.
“What are you waiting for?” Kizy asked.
“Huhhh?” Rose asked, not knowing what Kizy was talking about.
“Why haven’t you talked to Jason yet?” Kizy asked again.
“About what?” Rose asked, still not getting Kizy’s point.
“Fool. When are you going to confess your feelings for him? Right now our team is not taking any jobs because you are here for me. What can be the best time to tell him about your one sided love? Isn’t this the most perfect opportunity to propose to him?
You all have a lot of time on your hand. Why not plan for a grand confession?” Kizy asked with a smile.
Rose just gave Kizy a sad smile, not knowing what to say.
“Not now. Jason already has a lot of things on his mind, so maybe this is not the best time. But don’t worry, one day I am definitely going to do my confession. Just that now is not the right time. There are things he and I need to think about before I confess.” Rose replied while thinking hard about her situation.
“Okay. Whenever you feel right. But don’t forget to tell me beforehand to make proper preparations. I would be waiting for that day when you and Jason take steps together.” Kizy said in a sincere tone.
“Sure. Now go and meet Jason.” Rose said.
“Hmmm. I will go now.” Kizy said and finally left the room, followed shortly by Rose who went back to her own room.
Kizy thought about all the things once again before confirming her plans. She now had a definite path she had decided to take.
Though she still felt depressed about not getting to meet Markus, her plans made her feel more confident about whatever she was about to do in the near future.
Meanwhile she also knew that there was something that Rose was hiding from her about Jason. Rose and Jason were close to begin with. Plus Jason was always a considerate guy who would never break a girl’s heart.
Thus even if the worst, that is even if he were to reject Rose’s proposal, that would be in the most non-heartbreaking way.
Hence Kizy was a little confused over why Rose had been avoiding her feelings about Jason.
Jason was sitting with a book in his hand when he heard a knock on his door.
He instantly kept the book inside the drawer of his study table, careful to not let anyone see it even if they were to open his drawer, before clearing his throat.
“Come in.” He said, already knowing who his visitor was.
“Good morning Jason!!” Kizy said in the most sweet and energetic voice since Markus’s departure.
“Morning.” Jason replied in a calm voice, though his heart felt settled after watching Kizy trying hard to get back to normal.
“So.. I am… ughh.. I was about to… uhhh.. how are you?” Kizy said, feeling like a little child who had committed some grave mistake and was now made to confess in front of her parents.
