"Look at what you did!" Nina shouted at him through the call the next day while looking at their news. She was never the one who liked attention, much less an intimate photo of kissing Joel under rain spreading all over the internet. Now even the nurses would take a second peek at her and doctors would gossip behind her back.
"It's a good way. Now we won't have to make a special announcement for our relationship. No more hiding from others." Joel took this positively, and so did Nina after some time.
Meanwhile, after another month, Kizy received a midnight call from a shocked Nicole, telling her that Victor was awake.
All of them went together to meet Victor, who was now looking at them, gesturing a little and talking scrambled words.
Nicole and Kizy literally hugged each other with teary eyes.
"Look, your love brought him back." Kizy said after calming herself down.
Nicole just nodded, crying her heart out. Only God knows all the thoughts she had while she stayed in hospital for the past two months.
With some physiotherapy and continuous monitoring, Victor was getting back to normal as early as possible.
No doctor had spared telling him about how much Nicole had done for him in the past two months, which only made his willpower stronger to heal quickly.
"I am never letting you go anywhere now." Victor said to Nicole after one of his follow ups.
"As if I am letting you do that. Dare you even think of going away. I will be following you till your deathbed and then in hell as well." Nicole said, her bubbly dramatic tone returning.
"Why not heaven then?" Victor asked in his deep voice.
"Cause bad boys are meant for hell and you are the baddest of them all." Nicole said through ragged breath as she felt their proximity and Victor's eyes sucking her whole.
"Guess I really need to show you what bad is. Because if you call whatever I did till now as bad, you are about to visit hell right here." Victor said in his magnetic voice before crashing his lips on Nicole, devouring her in a hungry kiss.
After two months, both of them were found in different schools, interviewing for their dream jobs. Nicole had applied for a kindergarten school while Victor decided to go for high school arts teacher which was not a great choice given how the female students use to drool behind him while males had made up their minds to make Victor their Idol.
But with Nicole's unrealistic ideas, those poor girls witnessed their heart shattering soon enough as Victor would sometimes come to school with a faint lipstick mark on collar or somewhere on shirt and when Nicole would be pissed, a hickey or two with the collar buttons left open on purpose.
They let another month pass before breaking the news to Nicole's parents, who after a little convincing from Kizy, Markus, Mary, Grandma and Grandpa finally agreed to it, and decided to get them married once Kizy and Markus did their wedding ceremony.
Within two months, they held an official engagement, tearing away last shreds of hopes of those teenagers, if any had remained after her consistent attack.
Soon Kizy gave birth to the twins, a girl and a boy, bringing joy to everyone's life.
Markus had instantly kissed Kizy on the forehead
"You were the strongest!" Markus said before going to the cradle and lifting his baby girl.
"Whoa whoa! Why do I smell favouritism already? Bro! This is outright partiality." Nicole said, noticing how her brother had ignored the boy in blue and picked up the girl bundled up in pink.
Markus didn't even bother replying to her before saying.
"You are the cutest my lambkin, just like your mother." Markus said and the babygirl, as if understanding him, smiled back.
Nicole, feeling bad for the poor lad, went and picked him up.
"Don't worry boy! Your aunt is here to dote on you limitlessly!!" Nicole said cockily, but the next moment, the boy who had been quiet all this time started crying.
"Give him to me." Kizy said after watching how tense Nicole had become, not knowing how to handle a crying baby.
And miraculously the boy stopped crying the moment he was in Kizy's hands, as if understanding who his mother was.
"My sweet little angel." Kizy called him exact opposite of Markus i.e Mr. Devil.
Markus gave her a look but the little life in his hand diverted his attention.
Since birth to this day, it was always like that. In fact this gave rise to the way they were named.
Myra being closer to her dad Markus was named with initial M. As to Kyson, being dearest to his mom Kizy was named with an initial K as suggested by the outstanding brains of family Nicole and Ruth!
Though the idea of initials was given by these two, mainly it was Jason, Rose, Nina and Victor who had helped to come up with these beautiful names.
Slowly all the members were settling down in a good way. Markus and Kizy balancing their kids and company. Though the majority of the time the kids were seen being spoiled by their great grandparents and grandmas.
Jason and Rose were working pretty well at a security company and had also started a defence academy where they gave lessons on self defence and some other forms of martial arts.
Victor and Nicole had merged well into their teaching professions. Nicole's bubbliness complimented Victor's calm headed nature, making them an even better match.
Joel waited for two more years before he bought a new house and moved in with Nina. The couple would cook breakfast and dinner together, do grocery shopping, go on mini dates, movie nights and were literally living their lives to fullest.
Joel after finishing work and dropping Markus home would come to pick up Nina, the couple coming and leaving together everyday making the single dogs in their hospital feel jealous till they were green from envy.
He was worried about Ruth, and wanted her to stay with them, but Kizy had better planned her future. She guided her properly, and enrolled her into one of the top universities with a hostel.
Earlier Ruth was against this idea, but a little bit of convincing from Kizy and her kids repeating it behind her in cute tones was all that it needed for her to finally agree to them.
