Mark's Pov:
I am really scared when I didn't see Anna at my eyesight when I looked around in the complex...
The first flash I got is John...
He may kidnap her or threaten her...
I immediately started running back as early as possible to the way I just passed to check Anna,
What if John takes some crucial decision on her...
He may threaten her life…
No...
No...
I am ready to give my property to John, to get her back safely...
All these thoughts revolving around my mind when I am running back to check on Anna...
The moment I saw her, I stand still and take long breaths to control my breathing...
After a few seconds, I went slowly to her and hold her shoulder...
The moment she turned to me I saw tears in her eyes and I didn't ask anything, instead I hugged her tightly because she is safe...
Later I lead her to the car parking and started our journey, but she is still involved in her deep thoughts and I got a flash of her wet eyes and tears...
Why did she stand like a statue at that shop?
Maybe she had some memories with her mom in that shop, that's the reason she feels emotional
So I asked her the same to confirm, and I got very furious when I heard that she saw a person similar to her dad...
She is not clear about his face, but I am sure it is her father, Lucus...
We are searching for her father and John ...
So I immediately called Tom and informed the same. But I can't control my anger...
Just miss…
Mark: You should have told me before, Anna...
Anna: Mark, I am not sure he is my dad and...
(I cut off her words and shouted at her...)
Mark: I can confirm it, Anna and I will submit him into the custody...
Anna: Don't speak like he is a culprit for Ria's case, Mark...
Mark: Unless he proved under the custody that he is not a victim I will treat him as a culprit for Ria's case and that's final...
And don't argue with me about your father's innocence anymore...
Anna: What wrong I say, Mark..?
Mark: Supporting your father for no reason...
(She remained silent, and I didn't speak further...
This happens every time between Anna and me when it comes to her father discuss...
Why she has such a strong confidence on her father even though I told her that the Ria's postmortem reports clearly says that she was attacked by 5 and not 4...
Let's see...
She will definitely realise when we catch her father and after she listens to the interrogation, she will apologize me for her covering towards her dad...)
Anna: Please take me to home, Mark...
(She breaks the silence but when I heard her decision to take her to home, I didn't argue her for the reason; she wants to go home right now and I make a quick u-turn of my car and lead to my home...
And she followed me to my room without speaking to me about anything...
I feel happy and relieved because she didn't leave me alone in my room for the discussion we had in the car and I think she will go to her room but she followed me to our personal bedroom without hesitation; the sad part is she didn't even look at me or speak to me again...
She went to the washroom and directly lead to the balcony and I continued to fresh up and after I freshen up I lay on my bed and thinking about the scene happened in the car...
Anna became sensitive when she saw her father, and I became aggressive when she told me the truth...
Actually, I am aggressive on her dad, but not on her, but I should not be shouted on her...
In-between my thoughts I went to sleep and I sense a small weight on my chest...
I didn't open my eyes and checked it with my hand, I can sense a long hair...
It might be Anna's hair...
I opened my eyes slowly, and it's Anna...
She wrapped her hand on my body and lay her head on my chest...
I immediately hugged her tightly and locked her by wrapping my legs around her and hold her tightly in my cuddle with my hands...
After a few seconds, Anna breaks the silence...
Anna: I am so sorry, Mark...
I should have told you the moment I saw him, but I am not sure because I didn't see his face and I feel very emotional when I think it's my dad...
(I don't speak anything this time but I am tapping on her back caressingly to console her...
After a few seconds, I started to explain to her the same old thing....
Mark: I don't have any personal revenge on your father, Anna...
But I don't accept him until he proves he is not guilty of Ria's case...
Once the investigation is done and he proved he is not guilty, I will accept him like a family member...
Anna: Thank you, Mark...
Mark: For?
Anna: For everything...
Mark: I think you owe me a kiss for ice cream...
(By finishing my words I tickle her on her neck with my face and she immediately chuckles...)
Anna: Kiss?
What do you mean?
Mark: You promised me that you will definitely give me a kiss at the ice cream shop...
Anna: Maybe it's your dream, Mark...
(I understand she is teasing me and immediately pinned her to the bed and I lay on her the same way I did in the theatre...
She looked at me with her widened eyes and after a few seconds; she holds my head and started kissing me very passionately…
