Chapter 136 - 136. Your Safety First, Little Lamb
Kizy balanced herself on both of her legs, extending both arms towards Shawn.
"That's so dangerous!" Nicole exclaimed from below.
"Young Miss has performed even more dangerous stunts than this." Joel said, remembering the previous day where he was beaten badly by the Young Miss.
Jack and Alex were so scared of her that they didn't even dare to follow her today.
"Where is Bro?" Nicole asked, looking around to search for him, but Markus was nowhere seen.
In the meantime, Kizy had picked Shawn in her arms. Shawn had still closed his eyes tightly out of fear.
Kizy carefully reached a little ahead, and placed Shawn inside the compartment, his feet finally touching solid ground.
"Open your eyes." Kizy said gently, her body still being supported only by her legs on that single metal bar.
Shawn slowly opened his eyes, his crying had stopped after he felt the ground beneath his feet.
"Thank you Kizy!" He said and was about to smile when he shrieked loudly.
Kizy who had barely stood back on the metal bar, slipped from it.
All the people standing below felt their heart stop for a minute. All of them were very much attached to Kizy.
Though Kizy had a few close people, all of them were dear to her. Thus Kizy was equally important to all of them.
Kizy, who had just slipped from the pole, had closed her eyes, knowing that she was about to fall very badly, and she definitely didn't want to see the process. She was preparing her posture to land in a relatively safe position.
But the next moment she felt herself being embraced in a strong pair of arms and heard this voice.
"Your safety first little lamb." Markus said.
Kizy opened her eyes, to see that both she and Markus were standing on a metal pole, lower than the pole where Shawn's compartment was present.
"How?" Kizy asked, confusedly, not knowing how and when Markus had reached there.
"Stupid woman! At least confirm whether you are safe before saving someone else. What if you would have fallen with the boy?" Markus asked, his tone reprimanding.
Kizy gave him a foolish smile before quickly climbing down, knowing that she was in the wrong.
"You… you just wait." She heard Markus speak behind him.
Both of them quickly got down in no time and the ferris wheel was started again and all the children came out one after another.
Shawn thanked Kizy again and again, stopping only when she threatened him that she won't talk to him anymore.
They all had ice cream and other delicacies, before Markus arranged for the children and owner of the orphanage to return back to C city.
Kizy bade her goodbye to all the kids, promising to come and meet them at the orphanage soon.
"Let's have some fun now." Markus said.
"What fun?" Kizy asked.
"Let's ride those." He said, pointing towards the adventure rides which were not allowed for children.
"Sure. But I want to make a wish." Kizy said with a smirk, having some other plans in mind.
"What?" Markus asked, though knowing what Kizy would be saying.
"You will accompany me to the Haunted house." Kizy said.
"You think I am afraid of that? It's just that all of us would be tired after riding those. So why to exhaust ourselves even more. I am thinking of all of us.
Plus this is far from our place. We will have to travel an hour long ride to reach home, why to waste time on such non adventurous places?" Markus said, trying to justify himself.
"Then let's not waste our time. Let's go directly to the haunted house." Kizy said purposefully.
"Fine! As if I am afraid of it." Markus tried to make it sound nonchalant, but anyone could feel his tension.
With that, both of them along with Nicole and Joel went inside the haunted house.
"Do we have to follow them? We can enjoy other rides." Nicole asked Joel.
"For their protection." Joel replied in a serious tone.
"Fine." Nicole said and unenthusiastically walked inside.
But by the time she came out, she was literally dying from laughter.
Whenever a ghost would appear suddenly, Markus would tightly hold on to Kizy, hugging her twice during the process.
In fact at the end, a ghost suddenly appeared from behind, tapping Markus's shoulder. Markus was so scared that he directly took out the gun from his blazer's pocket and pointed at the man acting as a ghost.
The man stood there frozen, watching someone react like this for the first time when met with ghosts.
Even Kizy and Joel were laughing loudly after exiting.
"Bro!! How can you point a gun at that poor man. He was just acting as a ghost." Nicole said, laughing till her heart's content.
"I thought that some enemy was sneak attacking, thus I reacted like that." Markus said, justifying himself.
"Yes of course. You were protecting us." Kizy said while taking out a tissue paper from her bag and wiping the sweat on Markus's forehead.
"I am sweating because it was very hot inside the haunted house." And Markus once again terribly failed at his false explanations.
Finally the four of them were done with the amusement park for today. They left in their respective vehicles.
After coming out of the haunted house, Nicole and Joel weren't that formal with each other, especially with Nicole revealing funny moments from their childhood and how Markus was as a child.
They reached Markus's house. Joel and Nicole were getting out of the car when they saw that Markus and Kizy were already walking towards the house.
Both of them followed the couple inside. Nicole had packed her bags and was about to leave for her home while Joel wanted to confirm if he was needed anymore.
Markus and Kizy sat on the sofa, tired from today's activities.
"Come and sit with us." Kizy gestured to Joel who was standing ramrod behind Markus.
"No young miss." He said politely.
"So you like kids?" Markus asked, watching how happy Kizy was, especially with Evie.
"No. I don't like kids." Kizy said, confusing not only Markus, but Nicole and Joel as well.
