“Uncle its me, Kizy.” Kizy said from outside.

The man immediately opened the door from inside.

Dr Richard or the man who opened the door for Kizy was her friend’s father. He was the one who had somehow managed to let her mom hospitalize in Unity hospital when all other doctors were trying to send them away.

“Kizy did something happened? Why are you here this late?” Uncle spoke before peeping outside from the narrow gap of door.

“Isn’t he here?” Uncle asked after confirming that no one was outside.

Kizy suddenly remembered that the entire medical staff involved in her mother’s surgery knew about her relation with Markus.

“Uncle does Nina knows about this?” Kizy asked in a low voice..

Nina, her college friend, was more like her elder sister. Whenever Kizy was troubled, Nina would always be there as her saviour. There were only three instances where Nina was not present, and those three situations were the worst nightmares of her life.

“No. Who would dare to go against his words? Anyways is everything fine?” Uncle asked her.

Kizy now understood why Markus had warned the hospital staff. It was visible that nobody dared to defy him.

“Actually I had some minor issue and can not stay with Markus tonight. If you don’t mind, can i spend the night here with Nina?” Kizy asked politely.

“Child why are you being so polite? Treat this as your own home. Nina and you used to stay at each other’s places in your college days. But suddenly you left the city. Now that you have returned, come visit us more often and spend some more time with Nina. She misses you a lot.” Uncle said.

Kizy suddenly felt guilty. Nina had always been her strong support. But she was never able to do anything for her. Even when she had returned to the City for more than one month, the only time she contacted Nina was for helping her to admit her mom in hospital.

But she felt more guilty knowing that Nina won’t blame her for anything even after this. Nina was someone who only knew how to give but never expect anything in returns.

“Uncle will you please keep this a secret from Nina even after this. I want to disclose this news personally to her, but now is not the right time.” Kizy said after sometime.

“Don’t worry. This is your personal matter and I won’t interfere. Just tell me one thing. How did you ended up marrying him? Are things good between you and Mr Markus?

Afterall both of you are from different worlds. And tonight you are suddenly here instead of being at home with him?

I consider you as one of my family members. So if you have any problem, you can always tell us.” Uncle said sincerely.

“No uncle we are happy together. In fact I am returning after attending a family banquet with him. But some situation came up and I am unable to return home for now. Therefore I came here.” Kisy explained.

“Then I am relieved. Ok go and meet Nina now. If she come to know that i have been stalling you for this long, she will definitely be angry at me.” Uncle said.

“Thank you Uncle.” With that Kizy turned and went to the second floor.

She directly entered the second room on floor which she had entered countless times in past.

The room was totally silent with the only noise coming from typing sound on laptop. A girl could be seen sitting on bed with a laptop placed in front of her.

Kizy knew that Nina had a habit of wearing headphones while doing her chores thus she locked the door behind her before walking towards the bed.

“Boo” She suddenly jumped in front of Nina.

“Aaahhhhh” Nina screamed from shock, while the phone present in her other hand was mercilessly thrown on ground as a result of her shock.

“Girl do you have deathwish?” Nina finally calmed herself down before shouting at Kizy.

“And do you have to always overeact like that. ” Kizy retorted.

“You scared the shit out of me. Who enters like a secret agent in there besties room this way?” Nina argued.

“Then who told you to wear those headphones with high volume? What if some bad people are here to kill you?” Kizy scolded.

“Oh come on. People only know how to admire this beauty, they can never make themselves to hurt this extraordinary face.” Nina said smugly.

“Fine fine. You are still the narcisst you were.” Kizy said while picking up phone from ground.

“And is this how you surprise your bestie after ignoring her for three years?” Nina said with a pout.

“Don’t make those cute faces. You know I am immune to them and they won’t work on me.” Kizy said before climbing the bed.

“Stop diverting the topic. Is there some problem Kizy? You are suddenly visiting me this late. How is aunty? Is she doing well? Are you facing other problem? Is-” Kizy suddenly interupted Nina from her non stop questions.

“Listen, first of all everything is fine. My mom is doing well. She registered herself at an NGO and is working with them at F city. And I am here to meet my bestie and spend some quality time with her.” Kizy explained in one go.

“Woah!!! then this reunion calls for a party. Unfortunately mom isn’t home this week. So just wait for me, i will bring coo-” there was a knock at door.

And Richard entered the room with a tray in his hand.

“Here’s your coffee, cookies and some snacks. Your aunty went to visit her parents so I thought may be I could perform her job as her hardworking husband.” He said in a cheerful tone.

“You are the best.” both Nina and Kizy said in unison while showing a thumbs up.

“Ok girls I will go back to sleep as I have an early operation tomorrow. If you need something just wake me up. Good night.” Richard said.

“Good night.” Once again both of them said together with a sweet smile.

And soon both of the besties were back to those good old days where they use to munch on there snacks while talking endlessly.

On the opposite part of city, a man could be seen driving his expensive buggati with a dark expression.

Markus had been searching for Kizy personally for the past half an hour but there was not even a single hint about her.

Suddenly he recieved a call from Joel.

“Boss, Young miss was captured in cctv on a street almost fourty five minutes ago. I have sent the footage to your number.” Joel said.

“Ok.” With that he ended the call.

‘This time I definitely need to discipline you my little lamb.’ he thought to himself before clicking on the video link.
