Marks POV:

I feel the fresh energy with an active mind, maybe because of Anna's kiss...

Yes, the moment she wakes up in my cuddle, she kiss me a very gentle and caring kiss which refills my energy and gives me eternal happy...

In between my thoughts, I went to my office room, it's around 10 a.m. and busy in looking at my business mails...

Genie should be here at this time with some work files. Maybe her punctuality lacks because I am not coming to the office after Ria's tragedy...

So I called to Genie, she said she would be here in a few minutes and I continued my work as speedily as possible with the energy given by Anna...

After a few minutes, Genie entered into my room with some files,

I find some dark circles around her eyes, and her face looks sick...

Mark: Are you ok?

Gen: Yes, sir...

Mark: you look tired, Gen...

If you want, you can take leave...

Gen: No, sir, I am fine...

Actually, I didn't sleep last night due to some office work...

And I feel relieved after looking at you after a long time...

(By looking at me her face turned to blush and trying to flirt me...

But I never fall for her trap of flirting...

I don't know why...

From my childhood, I had a bad opinion on her and her character, and I am sure she will fall after me just because I am rich...

If my kingdom upside down in one night and If I lost my all money, Genie never looks at my face in her entire life...

But Anna, she doesn't bear to leave me for one second irrespective of my money status...

She will be with me all my life and make me happy by giving energy through her kisses and love...

In-between Anna's thoughts, I am doing my work as early as possible...

Meanwhile, I got a call from Mona...

Mark: Hi Mona, how are you?

Mona: "Fine Mark, we are having a great time...

It will be the best if you and Anna join us..."

Mark: "Yeah, but I have lots of work to do, and as of now, it is not safe to continue our trip, so I take the decision to drop the trip with you..."

Mona: "Yes, Mark, we should find who is behind all this as early as possible..."

Mark: Yes, soon we will find...

Did you remember my uncle Rubeus?

Mona: Yes, I remember...

How I will forget him, he is such a lovely caring person...

Mark: it's in his past Mona, now he is different, completely different...

Did you forget?

He didn't come to Ria and me after my parent's tragedy...

Mona: Yeah, I remember, but still, I don't change my opinion on him, Mark...

Mark: I don't care...

Bye...

(I am very angry on Mona for supporting my uncle and his mistake...

Actually, he takes equal care on Mona along with Ria and me...

I am about to cut her call...

She immediately shouted...)

Mona: Mark...

Mark...

Ok, ok...

I can understand...

Tell me why all of a sudden you asked about him?

Mark: He came to my house...

Mona: What..?

Mark: Yes, he came to my house and I don't know why...

Maybe he got the information about Ria's death...

Mona: You didn't inform him about Ria's death..?

Mark: Why I should inform to the person who left us in our hard time...

Mona: Mark...

Cool down...

Did you speak to him at least..?

Mark: Why should I speak to him?

Mona: Ok, what should I do now?

Shall I call to him and ask him why he came?

Mark: No, Mona...

But I don't know what is the exact reason behind his visit...

Mona: Mark, he came just to look at you, maybe he got the news of Ria by now, so he came to visit you...

Maybe he may leave after a few days...

Don't worry...

Mark: I will be happy if he leaves as early as possible...

Mona: I hope he should stay two more days...

So I can visit him...

Mark: Don't worry, Mona you can reach your dearest uncle at his office...

If you need, I will send the address to you...

Mona: Stop your arrogant behaviour with me...

Tell me how is Anna...

Mark: What are you talking?

Did you forget that she stays with me.?

How she will be not fine?

Mona: Ho hoo...

I forgot that Romeo will always take good care of his Juliet...

(We both laugh to each other...)

Mark: Ok then, I need to finish my work as early as possible and reach home early...

Bye...

Mona: Mark Mark...

(She again shouted when I am about to hang the phone...)

Mark: What..?

Mona: You want to finish your work, to reach your home early or to reach Anna..?

(I smile to myself for her teasing question...

She knows that we are in a relationship, so I didn't hesitate anymore to cover my feelings...)

Mark: Yes, I am going early to reach Anna soon...

Mona: Are you missing her?

Mark: Very badly...

Mona: Then bring her to your office and make her sit beside you...

Mark: That's really a good idea...

I will ask her about this...

Mona: Omg, Mark...

You are really deep diving in love lake...

Mark: Maybe...

If you are done with your stupid questions, I will continue my work...

Bye...

Mona: Mark, Mark...

(She again shouted...)

Mark: Yes, Tom is not there with you..?

Mona: Yeah, he is beside me; why?

Mark: Because you are eating my brain instead of Tom's brain...

Mona: How mean you are...

Mark: Ok, tell me what you want to say…

Mona: This is important, Mark...

Mark: What..?

Mona: Alex is home sick it seems...

I just called to the caretaker...

He is not eating well and crying on the reason for homesick...

Mark: "Hoo, I really forgot about him..."

Mona: He got very attached to me and habituated to the home atmosphere...

So, make a space in your time slot and visit him for once, he feels relieved...

And we will return back tomorrow...

Mark: Sure, actually I forgot about him...

I want to surprise Anna by taking him to my house...

Mona: what..?

Nooo...

Mark: Why?

Mona: I will surprise Anna after my trip by visiting her with Alex...

Mark: "No way...

She is mine, and I have all rights to surprise her..."

Mona: She is my friend and I also have the rights to surprise her...

Mark: I can't wait until you finish your trip...

Mona: We will return tomorrow, Mark...

Mark: I think your return tickets booked on the day after tomorrow, right..?

Mona: Yes, but after I hear about Alex, I don't want to enjoy this trip anymore..."

Mark: Hey, Mona, don't worry...

I will take him to Anna today, and he will be fine...

And both of you enjoy your trip these two days, ok?

Mona: Ok, then...

I agree with you...

Alex feels better when he stays with Anna...

But promise me after I came to my home Alex will be with me like before...

(I understand how much she attached to him by taking care...

So without Anna's permission I made a promise to her...)

Mark: ok, he will be with you, and if Anna resists, I will convince her..."

Mona: My Anna never says no to me...

She is petty confident that I will take very good care of Alex...

Mark: She is mine, not yours...

Mona: She is my friend, not yours...

Mark: She is my girlfriend...

(In between our fight Tom interfered...)

Tom: Both of you stop your Tom and Jerry fight...

(We all three laughed again...)

Mark: Hi, Tom...

Tom: Hi, Mark...

I think this is the best time to reveal Alex to Anna...

If you take more time, it leads to trust issues of your relationship...

She may think that you are hiding her family from her...

Mark: I completely agree with you, Tom.

Now I am scared, what should I do if she takes the situation in reverse...

Tom: Don't worry, Mark...

Tell her the truth and why we take him on leave from his school and the reason we keep it secret...

Mark: Yeah, sure...

She will definitely understand...

Mona: What about Anna's mother..?

Would you like to reveal her mother too..?

Mark: No Mona, Anna's mother is still in a coma, and her health condition is not good at all...

It's better to hide as of now...

If Anna's mother starts her recovering stage, I will definitely take Anna to her mom...

I know how Anna and Alex are missing their mom...

Mona: Yes, Mark, that's really a good idea...

Ok then...

I am hanging the phone...

Tom is really looking at me with his sick face...
