Chapter 135 - 135. Shawn

Kizy looked towards the direction where Markus was pointing only to get annoyed as he had pointed towards a highly adventurous roller coaster which was coiled at several places, completely impossible for the kids.

"That would suit you better." Kizy said, pointing in the opposite direction.

Markus turned to look where Kizy had pointed, which turned out to be a Haunted house.

Markus instantly turned back, as if he hadn't seen what Kizy was pointing at.

"Why don't you try that?" Kizy said, remembering how much Markus was afraid about things like haunted houses or more accurately about ghosts.

Yes, Markus, the King of Mafia was afraid of only one thing - Ghosts, something that he hadn't even seen.

"That won't be suitable for kids. Let's go there." Markus showed a carousel, perfect for the children.

Kizy paused for a moment, as if contemplating something, but agreed after that.

All the kids were made to sit properly on the ride. Kizy, Markus, Nicole and Joel stood up on the side, watching the children and talking with the owner of the orphanage.

Kizy was busy speaking, reminiscing about her past year visits with her mom when she felt a tug at her dress. She bent to see Evie standing there with tear filled eyes.

"What happened to Evie? Did someone trouble you?" Kizy asked, kneeling down, enveloping Evie in a hug.

"They.. they say Evie is short. Ev.. Evie can not take the... ride." And Evie started crying with that.

"Who said that?" Kizy asked, rubbing her back and wiping her tears away.

Evie pointed towards the worker man who was handling the ride, responsible for both the ride and their safety.

Kizy picked Evie in her arms, before going towards the man.

"Is there a height limit for children?" Kizy asked the worker.

"Yes ma'am. The kid must be 3 feet 6 inches to ride this." The man replied politely.

Kizy thought for a moment, her heart breaking after looking at Evie's almost tearing up face.

"What if we have a guardian along with the kid?" Markus asked from behind.

"That will be guardian's responsibility." The worker replied.

"Okay." Markus said and looked at Kizy.

"Will you take her responsibility?" Markus asked.

"Yes." Kizy said, nodding her head.

"Go ride with her then." Markus said and went back, as if he had suggested something very casual.

But Kizy felt happy and warm from inside.

She took Evie with her, and sat on the same ride, talking with Evie and cheering her up.

Markus went back to his position, watching this from afar. He felt a different kind of happiness after watching Kizy look so adorable with a little girl, riding that carousel. 

He directly took out his phone and clicked some candid photos of Kizy, laughing and talking with Evie lovingly and posted it on his social media account.

After the press conference, he had posted a picture of him and Kizy together. But afterwards no news was heard from the couple.

Thus as soon as Markus posted the photo, the couple was once again the hottest topic, trending everywhere amongst the netizens.

"Whoa!! My goddess looks so beautiful!" 

"Happy birthday Kizy!"

"I have never seen such a tender side to her."

"Who is that little girl though?"

"This PDA is killing me!"

"Miss Kizy is the epitome of beauty. No matter what she does, she always looks beautiful."

"That little girl looks so cute along with Miss Kizy."

"Mr. Markus, please have mercy on us single dogs."

"I wish Markus and Kizy would ride the carousel together!" 

And this way the couple was once again in limelight, without even doing something. They had millions of fan following, crossing popular celebrities.

The kids played one ride after another, enjoying their time as usually they were never taken so far away.

In fact there were some who had never been or seen an amusement park before. Therefore they were enjoying their best times right now.

And Kizy was enjoying every ride with Evie, as majority of the rides had a height limit for them.

Kizy was talking with Evie, asking her what she wanted to eat when suddenly a loud shriek was heard and the ferris wheel they were riding stopped mid air.

Kizy instantly looked out of her compartment, only to see a seven year old boy hanging down from his compartment, barely holding the edge. 

Her own compartment was in the middle while the boys compartment was high above, four compartments away from her.

"Shawn!!" The kids and orphanage owner shouted from below, crying the name of a boy who was hanging mid air.

"Wait for me. Don't move at all. Promise?" Kizy asked Evie in a gentle voice.

"Evie promises Kizy." Evie said, making a pinky promise. 

Kizy opened the door to their compartment and stepped out, but she turned back once again.

"Don't move." Kizy said, this time in a stern voice.

Evie nodded at her and Kizy agilely came out of her compartment, climbing on the metal double pole which was holding the compartments in place.

"Kiz-" Markus was about to call her name when Nicole stopped him.

"Don't distract her." She said, worriedly looking at Kizy who was climbing the next metal pole, one foot hanging mid air, another one resting on the bar placed between the double poles.

And within one minute, Kizy had reached the metal pole attached to the compartment where the boy was hanging.

She moved towards the compartment, reaching just at the level of the compartment, balancing herself on a single bar attached between the two poles.

But the main issue was - how to reach that boy? Because he was at a height lower than her and he would have to extend his hand above, which kind of looked impossible, given his scared state of mind.

"Shawn, listen. I am here. You don't have to be scared anymore. Okay?" Kizy said, trying to give him some assurance.

"No.. Kizy. I'll… I'll fall down." The boy said, bawling his eyes out.

"Do you trust me, Shawn?" Kizy asked, in a more gentle and calm voice.

"Ye.. yess Kizy." Shawn replied.

"Then just close your eyes for a minute, and don't move. Hold on to that surface firmly. Trust me you'll be safe when I ask you to open your eyes." Kizy said in a soothing voice.

"On the count of three, close your eyes. Okay?" She asked.

Shawn just nodded his head, still crying badly.

"One, two, three!" Kizy said and Shawn closed his eyes as promised, holding on to the compartment edge firmly.
