Kizy was left speechless under Markus ’s accusations.
She was literally stumped for words.


Yes she indeed forgot what all happened last night, but whatever Markus said was way too severe.

”Pffft.
Stop with your melodrama.
Nothing happened like what he said.
You were drenched and the maid changed your clothes. ” Nicole, who was listening to Markus ’s nonsense from outside, finally couldn ’t take anymore and came inside.

”Why do you have to be such a spoilsport? Who are you to meddle between us husband and wife? ” Markus asked, giving a mean look to Nicole.

”Why not.
How can you trouble her so much.
Can ’t you see she is already suffering from a hangover? Ohhh by the way..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIZY!! ” Nicole said with a smiling face.

”You I was going to wish her first.
Why did you do this? Kizy don ’t listen to her.
She didn ’t wish you okay? Now listen.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR WIFEY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! ” Markus sang the entire song for Kizy.

”Wait.
You called me your wife and she isn ’t reacting at all? Did you tell her the truth? Isn ’t she your childhood sweetheart? ” Kizy asked, still pressing her temples.

”She is my cousin.
Nicole.
We were just pretending before this. ” Markus said.

Kizy looked at both of them, as if searching for the truth, but both had a sincere look on their faces.

”Are you speaking the truth? ” Kizy asked.

”Yes.
Of course my dear wifey.
You remember how rude I was since my childhood.
I never let any other girl come near me except you and her.
She is my Aunt ’s only daughter.
And you are my wife. ” Markus said with a smile.

”But why were you pretending? ” Kizy asked, confusedly.

”Obviously because- ” Markus was about to speak when he paused.


”Wait, you don ’t remember anything? ” Markus asked with a stupefied expression.

”What should I remember? ” Kizy asked.

”What you said near the pool? Something about liking me? ” Markus asked wide eyed.

”Stop fooling me Markus.
I won ’t buy it.
Me liking you? Or you misheard ’I hate you ’ as ’I like you ’? ” Kizy said, not believing whatever Markus said.

Nicole started laughing loudly at Kizy ’s statement.

”Serves you right. ” Nicole said.

”You shut up. ” Markus said frustratedly.

He had thought that Kizy would at least remember the part near the pool, as she was a little sober by then.
But who would have expected that Kizy would forget every single thing.

”You don ’t remember anything? ” Markus asked with a desperate tone?

”No!! ” Kizy shouted and her headache kicked in again, making her press both of her temples.

”Idiot, can ’t you see she is having a headache.
Do something for her. ” Nicole whispered to Markus.

”Why should I do something for her? She is not admitting her feelings. ” Markus said in a complaining tone.


”Even if she doesn ’t remember, she had spoken the truth, as she was drunk.
Which means somewhere deep down she definitely likes you, but isn ’t accepting her feelings just like what you were doing all this while.
What you have to do is work harder.
Be so nice to her that she would have no option left than to confess her feelings. ” Nicole said in a low voice.

”Are you sure? Will this work? ” Markus asked in a doubtful voice.

”Of course.
Trust me.
Didn ’t I make you realize your feelings? ” Nicole said with a brow raised.

”Okay. ” Markus said.

”What are you both talking about? ” Kizy asked, looking at the cousin duo speaking in whispers.

”Nothing dear.
Wait for me. ” Markus said and left the room.

”Once again happy birthday Kizy. ” Nicole said sincerely and went back to her room.

”Thank you. ” Kizy said politely.

Markus returned after a minute, carrying the bowl of hangover soup he had made by waking up so early, knowing that she would suffer from a hangover, especially given her low alcohol tolerance.

”Have this.
You will feel better. ” Markus said while climbing the bed with a bowl of soup.

”What is this? ” Kizy asked.

”Hangover soup. ” Markus said.


”You made this? ” Kizy asked doubtfully, while noticing the apron worn by Markus.

”Yes. ” Markus said with a smile.

”Will this be edible? ” Kizy asked genuinely.

Markus felt like puking blood at Kizy ’s statement.
But he remembered what Nicole had said.
He will have to be so good to her, that Kizy would eventually accept her feelings like what he did.

”Yes my dear.
At least taste it. ” Markus said, raising a spoonful of soup and blowing it to cool it down.

Kizy was a little startled at Markus ’s unnecessarily good behaviour, even doubting him a little.

But eventually she opened her mouth and Markus fed her the soup.

The moment she tasted it, her eyes widened.

”This is good. ” Kizy said honestly, after gulping it down.

Markus felt a little better and started spoon feeding her.

”I am not a kid.
I can eat it by myself. ” Kizy protested.

”No, your head is aching.
I ’ll feed you. ” Markus said, and continued feeding.


Kizy felt that Markus was acting a little weird today, but she couldn ’t pinpoint what was wrong.

”So how do you usually celebrate your birthday? ” Markus asked, still feeding her soup.

”It ’s nothing special.
Usually we go to orphanages and old age homes and distribute them gifts and sweets.
Play games with them and spend some quality time. ” Kizy said, remembering how she used to spend her birthdays, with only she and her mom alone for the past three years.

”That ’s great! ” Markus said.

Once done with soup, he went back and asked the maid to bring the dress that Nicole had asked to buy.
He asked her to pass the dress to Kizy and ask her to get ready while he made sandwiches and juice for Kizy.

Kizy came down, wearing a wine colored dress, sleeveless, ending just below her knees.
She paired them with maroon colored heels and sat on her seat.

Kizy looked at the dining table and gave a genuine smile.
