Anna's POV:
The moment I realized that Rubeus uncle is in the danger zone at the hospital, I immediately said to Mark. Still, my tears were outburst by getting the flashes of the party night event, that how Rubeus uncle fell unconscious.
Anna: The attacker may definitely lead to Rubeus uncle's room and may attack him again, Mark.
(By listening to me, Mark immediately made a call to Tom and put his speaker on.)
Mark: Hey Tom...
Tom: Mark, Did you saw the footage?
Mark: Yes, Tom, the attacker came to our party, so there may be a chance that he tried to murder Rubeus uncle too...
Tom: Yes, Mark, even I think the same..
Mark: And Rubeus uncle is in the danger zone at the hospital, Tom, maybe the attacker may know Rubeus uncle is taking the treatment in the same hospital, and he may try to threaten Rubeus uncle again.
Tom: Don't worry, Mark, I just sat before the attacker, and his hand is locked to bed with handcuff ...
(The moment I heard Tom that he is in the hospital, I feel relieved and take a long breath.)
Mark: Thank you, Tom; I thought you were at home; I called you to alert your cops who are spying in the hospital to take care of Rubeus uncle. I hope everything is safe now.
Tom: Yeah, when you called me in the morning, I am at my home, but the moment I find the attacker in the footage, I ran into the hospital and locked his hand and sit opposite to him and continued watching the CCTV footage. I am about to call you to inform you that I saw the attacker in the CCTV footage...
Mark: Thank you so much, Tom, you take so much pressure, and I am troubling you and Mona a lot.
Tom: Hey Mark, it's my duty, and treating patients is Mona's duty even though they are criminals. Mona just visited the hospital and checked him and said he would get consciousness in the next hour...
Mark: Hoo, that's great to hear, you can start your interrogation the moment he gets consciousness, and I will be there as early as possible...
Tom: Yes, Mark, I will start the interrogation in your presence, come fast...
Mark: okay then, bye...
(By finishing their goodbyes, they hang the call, and Mark looked at me.)
Mark: Anna, it's better if you stay at home...
Anna: What?
Mark: Please listen to me, Anna; I don't want to put you in the risk zone again...
Anna: Mark, no way, I am coming with you, and I will also listen to the interrogation, so please take me with you.
Mark: Anna, please try to understand; they are trying to attack on you; how can I take you outside without sorting out the issues?
And I don't want to take any more risks, So you, please stay here, that's final.
(He said sharply and get up from the bed to get ready.)
Anna: Mark, I will be safe only when I am with you, and tell me, can you give me assurance that staying alone in this house is not a risk?
(He looked at me with his narrowed eyes.)
Anna: Mark, there may be a chance that one of our servants in the house may be a spy too, and they may try to attack me when they find I am alone.
(Actually, I make Mark scared because I want to listen to their interrogation.)
Mark: Yes, Anna, but...
Anna: No, but I am coming with you, and that's final.
(I immediately got up and went to the washroom by taking my clothes and finish my bath in a few minutes and came back to the room and get ready.)
Mark: Anna, so far, you watched the CCTV footage with me, Do you suspect anyone?
(The moment I heard Mark, I got the flashes of the CCTV footage, and I always suspect that older man Joseph, and I said the same to Mark, but without proper proof, I can't prove him and I clearly observed the Rubeus uncle reaction when he is speaking to Joseph, his face is covered with a fake smile but he is looking at him with his narrowed angry eyes.)
Mark: Anna, what are you thinking?
Anna: Nothing, Mark...
Mark: Tell me, do you suspect anyone?
Anna: No, Mark, actually, I am suspecting everyone like Tom said, and I am still confused about why Joseph uncle speaks to the attacker?
Mark: Not only Joseph uncle but Rubeus uncle also speaks to him, and Nanny stared at him too...
Anna: Yes, Mark, what can be the reason?
Mark: See Anna, all the three, i.e., Rubeus uncle, Joseph uncle, and Nanny know about almost all the guests, so I guess they stare at him by thinking who might be this anonymous person is and maybe that's the reason, Joseph and Rubeus uncle also went to him and spoke to him to know about him...
(I nod my head as yes and maybe what Mark said is right.)
Anna: Yes, Mark, if anyone of them really appointed the attacker, they don't dare to speak to him at the party.
Mark: Yes, Anna and most of my guests know about the CCTV surveillance, so they don't dare to speak to the attacker if they really appointed him.
Anna: Okay, let's go...
(Mark and I lead to the parking slot, and we both started to the hospital. In between of our journey Mark break the silence.)
Mark: Anna...
Anna: hmm..
Mark: you should stay strong...
Anna: am I not strong?
Mark: By looking at your tears frequently, I feel you are not strong...
Anna: I don't know, Mark, they will come unintentionally, maybe I am weak like you said...
Mark: You misunderstood me again; I didn't say you are weak; I told you should stay strong...
Anna: Is there any difference between them?
Mark: A lot, for example, if you cry, it doesn't mean that you are a weak person,
Anna: Then, what it means?
Mark: It means you have a heart, and you take everything to your heart, which leads you to cry.
(I immediately hold his hand and lay my head on his shoulder with a smile.)
Mark: I am not complaining about your heart, I know your heart is sweet, but make it strong and don't let your tears out.
Anna: Okay, Mark, I will try, but sometimes I may not...
Mark: Why?
Anna: Because sometimes a good cry is what you need to release all the hurt I have built up inside so
Mark: Yeah, I agree with it, and from now on, I don't shout at you, okay?
(I nod my head as okay.)
Mark: By controlling my tongue, I can easily preserve your golden tears.
(In-between our discussion, we reached the car parking slot at the hospital, the moment the car parked, Mark suddenly kissed me on my lips for few seconds, I am shocked and looking at him with my widened eyes. I can sense his intense fire when he kissed me every time, and his intense love fire had a way of melting every part of me.)
Mark: Every time I want to control my tongue, I will kiss you like this, Okay?
(I smile for at him as a hint of acceptance.)
Mark: let's go...
(He said by placing my hair near to my ear very caressingly, I nod my head as Yes and we both lead to the hospital and directly went to the attacker room, where Tom sits opposite to him with a laptop and busy in watching the CCTV footage in every detail.)
Mark: Hi Tom,
Tom: Hi Mark, Hi Anna...
Anna: Hi Tom, Where is Mona?
Tom: She is on rounds to her patient rooms; she will come soon.
Anna: Okay...
Mark: Didn't he wake up yet?
Tom: No, not yet...
Mark: Did you find anything in CCTV footage?
Tom: At present, no clue, Mark, but I will show you one thing, let see together...
(By finishing his words. Tom turned his laptop towards us, and the video started from our engagement party night when Mark and Rubeus uncle hugs to each other. Tom is playing the video in fast forward and paused at one angle where we can see the attacker.)
Tom: Look at the expression of the attacker when Rubeus uncle fell unconscious...
(Tom played the video, and we all are observing that the moment Rubeus uncle fell unconscious, he looked at us very shocked and took two steps toward us in anxiety as a reflexive action, but he paused, and we take away Rubeus uncle from the party, and after a few seconds he immediately followed us in the same direction we went. Tom paused the video and looked at us.)
Tom: Did you observe his expression?
Mark: Yeah, he is shocked and worried as we do...
Tom: Exactly, and do you guess where did he lead to?
(We strike our head as no, Tom immediately closed the present footage video and opened the other file and played the video and it's Mona's hospital CCTV footage, and I can see Mona is giving instructions to her juniors about Rubeus uncle treatment and I am shocked by looking at the attacker is just behind us...)
