Anna's POV:

Tom holds the phone, and he also holds the file he placed on the table and went into another room...

I don't have any clue that what Tom is thinking about, will he stand on my side or will he still think that my dad is the primary suspect in Ria's case by assuming all the facts he said were wrong?

Did Mark believe what I just explain to Tom or is he thinking that I am saying the false statements?

In between my thoughts I looked at Mark and I am scared the moment I looked at him because he is already staring at me with his dagger eyes and his face is red with furious. I am scared to look at him, particularly when he is mad at me…

It's okay, it's my mistake by not told him first about my dad's messages and I have the responsibility to solve the issue between us which is caused because of my dumbness, it's better to apologise to him for my dumb acts. I take all my strength and take one step forward to speak to him. The moment I take a step towards Mark, he immediately gets up from the chair and suddenly beat the table with his hand out of furious and rushed out of the room.

Anna: Mark, please listen to me...

I followed him and requesting him to listen to me but he did not even looked at my face and rushed out of the room with his rage face. I stay in the same room and started crying for Mark's behaviour towards me. I can't bear if he is angry at me and I got an insecure feeling that he will announce the break up with me…

No…

No…

He doesn't say that, if he say that I can't live my life…

God…

What's happening in my life?

It's my fault…

It's my fault by not letting Mark to know about my dad's messages…

All these things happen just because of my affection towards my dad. Did I make a mistake by supporting to my dad?

Why I should not support my dad when he did not make any crime?

I hope Mark and Tom will get a clear idea about my dad after the completion of the interrogation but till then I should bear Mark's angry.

What if they are still thinking that my dad is still the suspect in Ria's case?

If in this case, it is very tough to convince Mark. I know he will go to the extent possible to take revenge on me if my dad proved guilty, but I have the confident that he is no way related to Ria's case.

After a few minutes I checked the time, it's almost lunchtime and I understand Tom might read the messages in my phone by now and I wish after looking at my messages Tom will get to the conclusion that the message was sent by John but not by my dad, and he will be definitely convince Mark that my dad genuine.

Suddenly I got a flash of my education loan details. There are the details of my loan in my phone and there are messages where a huge amount was credited to my account. What if they saw those messages?

OMG...

It's really complicated to convince Mark if he knows about my education loan right now, I am sure he will be not in a position to listen to me. His angry will be definitely get hyper if he finds the fact that I take an education loan by not depending on his sources. He may think I am not interested in him and he may also think all this love story is a fake, he might think I I am not using his money because I don't like him.

OMG…

What should I do now?

How can I convince him?

But it's not the truth, I really love him from my wholeheartedly, but how can I convince him now that I did all these things to live my life independently by not depending on his money. He already spared a lot of money on me and I don't want him to bear my education burden too and I don't want to lie to him about it, I want to tell him when my college started and I really hope he should understand my intentions and did not take it in another way.

But in this situation it is very tough to convince him, I understand I dig my own grave by hiding secrets from Mark

I got a flash of our last kiss, I still remember how caressingly he kissed me, I really missed his caressing, my tears again started flowing for Mark's rage and furious behaviour at me. I really need his caressing hug.

The moment he entered into my life he always stands beside me and gives me all the strength whenever I feel low, now I really need his support...

Involuntarily I started crying and confused what just happened in my life, I feel like my life turned to upside down in this hour.

I close my eyes and trying to control my emotions. Mark, please understand me, I didn't do it to cheat you…

Please Mark, Please…

Suddenly I sense a hand which is patting on my back. I immediately open my eyes and looked with my blurry vision, Mona...

It's Mona...

I immediately get up and hugged her tightly and started crying...

Anna: I am so sorry, Mona...

(I said in between my sobbings.)

Mona: Hey Anna, it's okay...

(She is patting on my back to make me calm down, but the more she is trying to console me, the more I started crying. Mona is the only person I left now. If she too stand on the other side, I am totally clueless and don't know what to do next.)

Mona: Anna, everything will be fine…

Anna: I lied to you, Mona...

Andd....

Mona: it's okay, Anna, I can understand...

Anna: I should have told to Mark and Tom about my dad messages...

(I said, and take the deep sobbings again, Mona is trying to console me, after a few minutes I get stabilized and Mona wiped my tears and make me sit in the chair.)

Mona: Anna, please listen to me and please don't think in another way, and please don't mind if I say anything wrong, okay?

(I nodded my head as ok and looked at her with my teary eyes. After a few seconds she breaks the silence.)

Mona: Let's go to the wedding ground...

(I am shocked and looked at Mona with my confused face. I know Mark is not in a position to marry me. His heart is filled with rage and furious about me. I am sure he doesn't agree for our wedding. But after a few days all the issues will get solved down, then he will definitely marry me but I am not sure that he will marry me today.)

Mona: Anna, please…

It's going to be late. Let's go to the wedding ground and continue the celebrations...

Anna: But, Mark...

(I want to explain to Mona that how Mark is furious at me but the moment I spell out Mark's name I am unable to control my cry, tears started rolling down from my eyes.)

Mona: Everything will be alright, Anna…

Please stay calm…

And Tom will take care of your dad, so you no need to worry about it.

Anna: No Mona, I I am not worrying about my dad because I know Tom will take good care of my dad until he got the conclusion of the interrogation.

Mona: Then why are you worrying?

Let's go to the wedding ground, it's going to be late...

Anna: Do you think Mark will marry me after this incident?

Mona: Annnnnaaaaaa...

Anna: That's true Mona, Mark is very furious at me and I am sure he will not agree to marry me...

Mona: Anna...

He will marry you...

Anna: No Mona, you know about his angry than me, he is so furious at me and now he did not even allow me to touch him.

And he did not even spoke to me...

I am scared Mona; I am scared when Mark gets angry at me. I know I made a big mistake by not letting them know about my dad's message, but I am out of control with my emotions when I received a message from my dad and I wish I want to save him. It does not mean I want to cheat on Mark. I love him so much, Mona…

I love him a lot…

I can't live without him…

(I said to Mona by taking deep sobbings.)

Mona: Anna, his angry will get normal soon, you no need to worry about it…

Anna: No, Mona, you don't know how Mark looked at me?

He is looking at me as if I am cheated him by playing with his emotions.

So how do you think he will marry me at this situation?

Mona: tell me one thing, is it ok for you to marry Mark in this situation?

Anna: why do you think I will say no to Mark?

Mona: I mean is it ok to marry Mark because your father is imprisoned now due to custody.

Anna: Yes Mona I am ok...
