yed for two more hours before Markus shooed them away.

”How long have I been sleeping? ” Kizy asked after she felt a little better than before.
She had also taken a walk in the corridor after doctor ’s advice.

”Precisely thirteen days, seventeen hours, thirty four minutes.
I forgot to count the seconds. ” Markus said, making Kizy laugh a little.

”Did you start a stopwatch or something? I just wanted to know the days. ” Kizy said, genuinely smiling for the first time after getting up.

”The time wasn ’t passing at all.
No matter whether I felt that I had spent hours looking at your pale face, originally it would be barely a few minutes.
These thirteen days were the longest and worst days of my life. ” Markus said, remembering how difficult it was getting to keep holding on each day.

Kizy became quiet once again, not knowing what to say.

Finally she took a deep breath.


”Sorry. ” Was the only thing she managed to speak.

”I don ’t want your apology, little lamb.
Just promise me that you are never appearing in that state again. ” Markus said, remembering how weak, fragile, defenceless Kizy looked before they brought her back to A city.

Kizy once again paused, not sure if she should promise this.

”I don ’t want to see you like that again Kizy.
I want you to always come cursing at me, or maybe occasionally give me a tender smile.
Maybe sometimes get angry at me or scold me.
But don ’t ever get into that state again. ” Markus said, his voice cracking.

Only he himself knew the kind of pain he had felt when he had found her unconscious, when the doctor had announced her comatose state, when Rose had narrated her last moments before getting unconscious.
Every single scene out of it was enough to break his heart a thousand times.

”I promise. ” Kizy said after a while.

Though she hadn ’t seen anything in the past thirteen days, she could only imagine the kind of pain her family was suffering because of her.

She didn ’t want them to go through all that once again.

Thus this wasn ’t a promise to Markus but for herself, that no matter what situation would arise, she will keep herself safe for the sake of her family and friends.

”What about Jason? ” Kizy asked.

Kizy remembered that it was Jason who had carried her till Aaron before she was unconscious.

”He came to visit you thrice. ” Markus said.


”I made them suffer again.
Not just them, but all of you. ” Kizy said.

”But we never felt that way. ” Markus said.

”Sorry. ” Kizy said with a heavy heart, guilty for being the root cause of this problem.

”I love you. ” Suddenly Markus said, out of the blue.

”Huhh? ” Kizy said, looking straight at Markus, contemplating whether she heard it wrong.

”I said I love you, Kizy! ” Markus said, smiling a little from watching her shocked expression.

”This ain ’t time for your jokes Markus. ” Kizy said, feeling butterflies in her stomach.
