Chapter 46 - 46. My Grand-daughter-in-law
"What happened?" This time Kizy questioned after watching his unnatural expressions.
"I had been dreaming to meet 'Dark Queen' and the first and second ranked members. I have always respected and idolised her for being the only female to make it into top 10. But now that you suddenly disclose that you are that woman, I don't know how I feel about this." Markus said with a sad face.
"Whats wrong in respecting and idolising me?" Kizy shouted while banging both hands on table and standing up but...
Suddenly she realised that she and Markus were not the only ones present at dinner like always.
'Crap! How can I lose my temper and shout at Markus in front of his family like this. This time I am done for.. All the well mannered and cultured image I carefully made went down because of him.' Kizy thought while crying internally.
"Haha.. sorry grandpa, grandma, mom.. I.. I didn't mean to shout at him." Kizy said while biting her lower lip embarassedly and sitting down on her chair.
But both Grandpa and grandma started laughing loudly. In fact even Mary was laughing a little after Kizy apologised.
"Old man look, my grand-daughter-in-law is as ferocious and dominant as I am. Good, good. Kizy you should scold him like this whenever necessary." grandma said.
"Yes afterall she is my grand-daughter-in-law. She should definitely have that temper. Keep it up child." grandpa praised Kizy.
Even Mary was smiling and nodding her head. But all this made Markus feel as if he was abandoned by his own family while Kizy was enjoying all the attention.
"Are you all my real family? My wife is shouting at me and yet you all are praising her for that!" Markus complained.
This way the family enjoyed there dinner like any other normal day, as if the situation at C City had never happened where Markus had returned from a near death experience.
But Kizy knew that all this was happening for her. The family didn't wanted her to worry and wanted to keep there promise. Therefore they were delaying the discussion while she was present.
"Let's discuss this tomorrow. I will visit the team A members personally in morning. Both of you rest here for today." Grandpa ordered Markus after dinner and he had to follow though a little unwillingly.
Mary had already directed Kizy to Markus's room in the mansion. Thus when Markus entered, Kizy was already laying on the bed.
Markus locked the door before taking off his jacket and climbing the bed.
"Go shower first." Kizy said while shifting on the other side, as if Markus was dirty.
"Wifey how can you treat your husband this way, who just barely managed to survive." Markus said teasingly.
"Because I did all I could to make you survive. Now go and get showered." Kizy said.
"So were you worried about me after knowing the news?" Markus still continued his teasing.
"No not at all. Now that I think, I suddenly regret doing all the hardwork I did for you today." This time even Kizy started playing along with him.
"I am a sensitive man, please don't break my heart by saying such words." Markus said while acting pitifully.
"Yes you are right. I should have ignored that man on 31st floor and pretended to never come across such news." Kizy said, pretending to think hard.
"So whether I live or die, it won't matter you?" This time Markus spoke in a serious voice.
"Pffft!! You are asking the same question for second time." Kizy said.
"No I am asking this for the first time today." Markus said a little uncertainly.
"You asked the same question in your last football match." Kizy said.
"You remember that match!!" Markus asked with surprise.
"Off course how can I forget. That was the first time I supported you, though unwillingly." Kizy replied.
"Now that I remember, that was truly your first time supporting me, but after that you acted very rude." Markus said while nodding his head.
*THREE YEARS AGO, St. XAVIER UNIVERSITY's PLAYGROUND*
"Charles here" Markus shouted while running towards the goal post.
Today was the final match between St. Xavier's and ASP university. Both the teams had initially scored 7 goals each and match came to a draw.
Thus they recieved extra time of thirty minutes to declare a final winner. And right now both the teams had unfortunately managed to score 11 each, about to make another tie.
They had there last fourty second remaininig now. Both sides were trying hard to goal since if none of them scored, this would again end up as a draw and they will have to decide the results on basis on penalty shootouts, which none of them wanted.
Markus wearing his blue jersey and black shorts, was runnimg at his fastest speed towards the goalpost, while Charles was running with the ball, tackling the opposite team.
All the girls were drooling at their figures, howling and hooting like crazy for the boys, especially Markus. They weren't there to watch the match, but more like watch how Markus would remove and throw away his jersey after match ends, just like last time.
Meanwhile Charles dodged the player in front of him and kicked the ball towards Markus. Markus was about to give a head for final goal, but the captain from opposite team suddenly jumped before him, about to kick the ball, but instead kicked Markus in his abdomen.
Markus suddenly dropped on his knees, clutching his stomach while gritting his teeth while the captain managed to kick the ball away.
"Foul!!" Charles immediately shouted behind him but referee simply shook his head, concluding that it wasn't a foul.
The captain had been too sneeky with his kick, making it seem as if he only kicked the ball. Only the goalkeeper of opposite team, who was standing behind them was able to see what actually happened.
But again, why would he support another member and betray his own team?
"Thats a foul!!" Charles still shouted while sitting beside Markus to see his injury.
"You slipped on your own! Is that considered a foul as well?" The opponent captain said with a shrug.
Charles ignored him while checking Markus. But nothing was visible on his abdomen, other than it had turned a little reddish.
"The player is not injured, this won't be considered a foul." referee replied.
Charles knew that Markus was a tough player, so he won't be kneeling right now, without uttering a word if he wasn't in severe pain. But he didn't knew how to explain the referee, as if the referee was offended, even he would be warned.
"Is it still not a foul?" Suddenly Kizy shouted while walking towards Markus and Charles.
