BXBX NOVEL Chapter 388 - They Killed My Parents...
Anna\'s Pov:
Mona: We are not forcing you to get married to the person whom you don\'t like, Anna…
Tom: Yeah, we are not forcing, both of you are in deep love and marriage is just a one step ahead to your love bond between both of you...
So...
Anna: So..?
Rubeus uncle: Please marry Mark, Anna...
I will be happy if both of you get married before I die...
So...
Please consider my wish, my dear baby girl...
(By looking at Rubeus uncle, I feel so sorry for his condition and he is requesting me with his teary eyes. I don\'t know what to say, I just nodded my head as yes. Immediately Mona came close to me and hugged me with happiness.)
Mona: Thank you so much for accepting Anna...
Anna: No Mona it\'s not my acceptance, first Mark should agree to it, if he agrees then I don\'t say any objection to my marriage. So please don\'t take it as an acceptance.
(In between my thoughts, I looked around for Mark. I didn\'t find him anywhere and I understand Mark is not interested in this sudden marriage.)
Anna: Mona, Mark...
I think he may not agree with it...
Mona: Don\'t worry, Anna, I will speak to him and I am sure he will accept it...
(Mona immediately lead towards the door to reach Mark but I feel like I should ask Mark about our marriage and get his true opinion.)
Anna: No Mona...
(Mona paused and looked at me in confusion.)
Anna: I will speak to him and we will let you know about our decision, please give us some time...
Mona: Sure dear, hope both of your decision should be positive...
(I smiled at her as okay and once again looked at Rubeus uncle, he is still looking at me with his teary eyes, I immediately lead outside of the room to check on Mark...
He sits in the chair and involved in his deep thoughts, I feel relieved by looking at him and silently went close to him and sit beside him. He observed that I sat beside him but he didn\'t speak to me anything yet. So after a few seconds, I break the silence.)
Anna: Mark...
Mark: Don\'t get influence by their words and promises Anna...
(Before listening to me he said his decision but I still tried to explain to him.)
Anna: Mark, I did not get influenced by anyone and I didn\'t take any decision yet. I came here to discuss with you about it...
Mark: What you want to discuss with me?
Do you think I don\'t know what they actually talk to you in this meantime?
Anna: Mark...
Mark: It\'s their trap for our marriage, Anna.
Anna: Mark, please listen to me...
Mark: And if we married now your career will definitely ruin and your life will be in danger...
Anna: Mark first listens to me...
(I said with my raising tone and controlling my tears because I can\'t bear if Mark argued with me. After listening to me he became silent and looked at my eyes and understand how much emotional I was and he immediately pulled me close to his chest and tapping on my back as ok...
I hold his shirt and involuntarily tears started rolling down from my eyes and after a few seconds I get stabilised and thinking why he said my career will be ruin and my life is in danger after our marriage. But I should ask him first why he left me in the room when they are speaking about our marriage.)
Anna: Mark…
Mark: Hmm...
Anna: You know they are talking about our marriage, right?
Mark: Yes...
Anna: Then why did you left me alone in the room?
Mark: I know how they will try to convince us. So I left the room...
Anna: Yeah, you left but you should take me along with you. Do you think I will get married to myself?
(Mark chuckled and pulled me more close to him.)
Anna: You know I was like a lost puppy in the room when they are speaking about our marriage.
Mark: Okay my little strawberry, from now on I won\'t let you be alone for any kind of discussions okay?
(I feel relieved when Mark is saying in his calm tone and I immediately nodded my head as yes and smiled by listening to my nickname strawberry.)
Mark: Okay, now tell me what your Rubeus uncle said...
Anna: He wants us to get married soon...
Mark: soon?
Anna: Yes, maybe in two days it seems...
Mark: What? Two days?
Anna: I don\'t know exactly, Tom mentioned about it...
Mark: Okay, I will speak to them and I know how to break their hopes...
(I want to know the reasons behind his postponement to our marriage. In between my thoughts, Mark is trying to get up from the chair, but I immediately hold his hand. He looked at me and again sit in the chair and looked at me. )
Mark: What happened, Anna...
Anna: First tell me your reasons, Mark...
Mark: Reasons?
Anna: Yes, my one and the only reason is to get solve Ria\'s case first and then I can happily enjoy our wedding. In the same way, I want to know your reasons to postpone our wedding...
Mark: I have many reasons, Anna...
As you said, my first reason is also Ria\'s case. I want to finish her case to get solved, and I feel relieved only once all the culprits got death statement.
(I lay my head on Mark\'s shoulder and don\'t know what to speak to him.)
Mark: Did you explain Rubeus uncle about it?
Anna: Yes...
Mark: they didn\'t listen to you, am I right?
(I nodded my head as yes.)
Anna: But Mona said we should not interfere with our current life for the incidents already happened.
Mark: So all of them take a stand and vote for our marriage...
(I nodded my head as yes.)
Mark: What do you think about our marriage?
Is that okay for you if we get married before Ria\'s case gets solved?
Anna: I don\'t know Mark, I am in a dilemma now because after listening to them; I feel like we should not postpone our marriage.
Mark: So you are okay if we get married before Ria\'s case gets solved.
Anna: I don\'t know Mark...
First I feel, we can happily married to each other only after we solve Ria\'s case and all the culprits got caught but now looking at Rubeus uncle\'s health condition I feel like I don\'t want to postpone it till the case get solved and you know how many complications are there to get solved Ria\'s case. By that time, Rubeus uncle\'s health...
(I paused and can\'t say anything to Mark. I hope he should understand what I mean.)
Mark: Nothing will happen to Rubeus uncle, Anna, he will be fine...
Anna: Yes, Mark, he will be fine, but what if something unexpected may happen to him.
We may regret if we didn\'t make his wish come true...
Mark: So?
Anna: I mean it will be good to Rubeus uncle if we get married now...
Mark: Anna...
Anna: Yes Mark, think about it, if we get married he may feel happy and his health will cure early...
Mark: Yes, but...
Anna: But?
(Mark stays paused and didn\'t speak to me anything.)
Anna: Mark, I know it\'s a big step in our lives and in future we will definitely get married to each other and by looking at Rubeus uncle\'s health condition I want to take these decisions in advance irrespective of Ria\'s case get solved.
(Mark thinks for a few seconds and breaks the silence.)
Mark: I am okay, Anna...
(I immediately smiled by listening to his response and feel eternally happy for his acceptance.)
Mark: but...
Anna: but?
Mark: Ria\'s case is not only the issue I am thinking about, Anna…
(I looked at him in shock but in deep down of my heart, I feel a little bit pain by thinking what might be his other reasons and why he doesn\'t want to get married to me?
If it is only Ria\'s case I will accept, but I want to know his other reasons too...
Because I want to know his intentions about our marriage. He proposed to me for the marriage but I want to know his reasons for the postponement of our marriage. So I asked him openly.)
Anna: What are your other reasons to postpone our wedding, Mark?
and why did you say my life is in the danger zone after our marriage?
(He stays quiet for a few seconds and breaks the silence between us.)
Mark: I don\'t think these sudden attacks are related to Ria\'s case...
Anna: What?
What do you mean, Mark?
Mark: Yes Anna, I feel like someone is taunting my family to torture me and to make me alone they are killing everyone in my family...
They kill my parents...
Later, Ria...
Then Rubeus uncle left me abruptly...
Now if you marry me, they might harm you too...
So Anna...
Please don\'t marry me and we can live like this...
Please trust me, I don\'t cheat you and I will take care of you like I always do...
