Mark's Pov:

Mark: What you want to speak to her?

(He thinks for a few seconds and looked at me with his pout face.)

Mark: You can tell to me, Alex, your secrets are safe with me.

(He nodded his head as okay and finally revealed what he wants to say.)

Alex: About my dad...

I want to ask her about my dad...

Mark: Okay...

Alex: I ask Mona sis about my dad but she is not saying anything to me, I ask her to take me to my dad but she didn't take me.

(Alex said with his low tone and I feel so sorry for him, he is so innocent and he doesn't know the true colours of his father. If he knows the fact about his father he will definitely don't ask me about his dad.)

Mark: What you want to know about your dad, Alex?

Alex: I want to know where he is?

(Ahhhhhh...

How can I say to this kid about his father?

He is not at an age to understand about the crime his father did and he doesn't know that his father tried to attack his sister and he is not in a position to understand why I shot his father, instead he may get angry at me like Anna because I shot his dad...

No...

I don't want to be the villain in his life...

I hope he should understand why I shot her dad, and he will definitely hate his father the moment he knows his father true colours and he doesn't like him if he knows that his father tried to kill Anna. For one second I thought I should say all the things to him but I don't want to ruin the child's trust in father, I know Lucas is a cruel man but I don't want to break Alex's trust because for kids father is their superhero and I don't want to ruin it and if Alex knows about his father he may become low which I don't like it.)

Alex: Please tell me, Mark, do you know where my dad is?

(He asked me with his requesting tone and I have no other choice to escape so I nodded my head as yes but I did not say anything that he is under police control for the crimes he did.)

Alex: Will you take me to him?

Mark: Why do you want to meet him, Alex?

(I know I ask a stupid question, and Lucas is Alex's father and he has all the rights to ask about his father and there is nothing wrong if he got a feeling to visit his dad, but at present, his dad is in intensive care under cops supervision, and it's not good if Alex meets his dad right now, because Alex may feel low by looking at his dad's condition and Lucas may again take the advantage to escape by threatening Alex's life...

No...

No...

I don't let it happen...

I don't say anything to him about his dad and I don't take him to visit his dad and it's better if I should divert his mind. In between my thoughts, I looked at Alex and he is again looking into his fingers, I patted him on his head as OK, but by looking at his dull face I feel like I want to ask him for the reason.)

Mark: Tell me, Alex, why do you want to meet your father?

Did you miss your dad?

(Alex immediately hugged me with his tiny hands and started crying by taking deep sobbings and I feel so sorry when he is started crying. I don't want to hurt him and I like to look at the tears on his face.)

Mark: Hey, Alex...

Stay calm...

I will take you to meet your dad, don't cry, okay?

Alex: I want to ask him about my mom...

(He said in-between his cry and my eyes become wet when I heard him. I immediately hugged him tightly and patting him on his back as OK and at the same time, I feel relieved because Alex wants to meet his dad to know about his mother's whereabouts but not to look at his father...

And I can't control my emotions when Alex said that he wants to meet his mother...

I can understand the pain of this poor kid...

I know mother plays a crucial role at this age of kids and Alex is very much attached to his mother for one second I want to take him to Mona's hospital to reveal her mom but I controlled myself because this is not the right time and Alex may feel low when he looked at his unconscious mother. But I promise to him that within a month I will reveal his mother to both Anna and Alex and I know how happy they feel. In between my thoughts, I looked at Alex to make him calm down by using a simple trick.)

Mark: Alex, Mona always says you are her hero, am I right?

(He nodded his head as yes while crying.)

Mark: As far as I know, a Hero never cries...

He is very strong and always smiles and rescue the people who are in need...

(He immediately wiped his tears and looked at me and trying to smile at me. I feel so relieved when I looked at his happy face.)

Mark: There's my hero...

(I said and kissed him on his forehead and feel revealed.)

(He nodded his head as okay, and to divert his mind I take him into the hallway and we both played the PlayStation for some time and in the middle, Alex went into sleep, I carried him and lay beside Anna and on the other side of Alex I slept.)
