Chapter 343 - Article Of Our Engagement...
Anna\'s POV:
The moment I heard from the attacker, "I need to kill that girl or else they will kill me." I didn\'t get shocked by listening to his answer, because I know John is after me to kill me and because of me he appointed the attackers, and they are trying to attack Mona twice, Tom and Mark almost stand before the bullet fire...
I can\'t take it in an easy way, and I will feel regret if the another attack takes place on them. Luckily we all are safe what if anything bad happened to anyone of us just because me?
No...
I never let it happen...
I should take a strong decision to solve this issue. In-between my thoughts Mark came close to me and hold my hand and said, "Hey, Anna, I will be back in a few minutes, okay?"
The moment I heard Mark\'s voice I feel like I want to hug him tightly and want to cry loudly but this time I succeed in controlling my emotions and take my decision that I should go away from them for some days until the issues get solved. I know if I expressed my decision to him, he will definitely try to convince me and my plan will fail and again their life will be at risk by saving me...
After a few seconds, Mark and Tom left the room along with the attacker. It\'s time to implement my decision, I take my phone from my bag and type a message in the notes to Mark.
"Mark, I will be back after I solve these issues, Stay safe, love you...
From your Anna..."
I placed my phone on the bed because it\'s not safe if I carry my phone; I am sure Mark will definitely trace me with the help of Tom, so it\'s better I leave the phone with a message and when Mark looks at the message, he will definitely understand me.
After I placed the phone, I get up from the bed and said to Mona that I am going to have some water and return in a short time. Mona said Okay, and she didn\'t notice about the phone because she is busy in dressing the Nurse wound...
I left the room and came out of the hospital, when I am taking a step by step I feel like I am going far away to Mark. Tears started rolling down, I can\'t live my life without Mark and I will definitely miss Mona and Tom\'s caring on me but I should go far to them in order to save them for further attacks...
I came out of my thoughts and take the cab and said the location name; I find some sufficient money in my wallet to pay the cab and from now on the place I should stay is at the orphanage...
Yes, I know one orphanage, my mom always takes me to that orphanage on my every birthday and she will celebrate my birthday in that orphanage. My mom always strive for women\'s empowerment and this orphanage is also for girls who are in need of food and study. So I better take shelter in this orphanage for the time being and need to sort out the issues with John and it\'s not safe to stay longer time in this orphanage too because John may threaten these orphan girls too, which is more pain to me. So it\'s better I should leave the orphanage within 2 days. The moment car reached the orphanage area, I asked the driver to stop the car and paid his bill and I started walking towards orphanage which is one mile away from my drop location.
I can lead the car to the exact orphanage location, but Mark may trace the cab. So I stopped the car in 1 mile radius and started walking towards the orphanage.
It\'s tough to live without Mark. He became my addiction. How should I live without his love?
I know it\'s a hard time to live without him, but I should sense his eternal love and live my life alone until I solve the issues with John. I know it\'s a hard time for Mark too, but he will understand and became normal and busy in his daily business routine in a few days.
In-between my thoughts, I lead to the orphanage, and I directly went to the manager\'s office room to meet her. She recognised me by looking at me in the first instance.
Manager: You are Anna, right?
Anna: Yes, madam...
Manager: Come dear, where is your mother?
Anna: She recently passed away...
Manager: OMG, I am so sorry dear; I don\'t know about the news, how it happened?
Anna: It\'s an accident.
Manager: I am so sorry again, she is a very kind woman.
Anna: Yes, she is...
(I didn\'t let her know about anything that my brother murdered my mother.)
Manager: May I know the reason behind your visit?
Anna: I need shelter in your orphanage for 2-3 days...
Manager: Sure, dear, you can stay with the other girls but you are not orphan just because you lost your mom.
Anna: Yes, I know I have father, brother and one special person who takes care of me with his love, but I don\'t want to trouble them.
Manager: Are you saying about this special person?
(The manager showed me the article where the headlines shows, "The most eligible bachelor is now engaged a girl."
And the pictures of Mark\'s and mine filled the article. The moment he kneeled down before me and he keeps the ring and our kissing picture. Our dancing picture. I immediately touch the Mark\'s face in the article and tears filled in my eyes for his flashes of my memories with him. I controlled my tears and nodded my head as yes as an answer to the manager.)
Manager: I don\'t want to hurt you dear, I am sorry if I make you worry by showing this article.
Anna: No, it\'s actually my lifetime good memory, can I take this article, please...
Manager: Sure dear, you can take it.
(She gave me the article and I hold it very caressingly because from now on this article is the only thing I left to live with Mark\'s memories.)
Anna: Can I stay here for 2-3 days if you don\'t mind?
Manager: Sure dear, but the facilities in this orphanage is not comfortable like your home, if you can adjust with it, I am ok...
Anna: Sure, I can adjust...
Manager: And there is no separate room for you to stay, dear...
Anna: it\'s ok, I can stay in the common room...
Manager: That\'s very nice of you, I will arrange a cot for you by tonight meanwhile you can take rest in my room...
(I nodded my head and the manager lead me to her room. Even her room is small and just equipped with a bed and a table filled with some files. I looked at her with a gratitude.)
Anna: Thank you so much…
Manager: It\'s okay dear, take some rest, you look so tired...
(After she finished her words, she left the room. I went to the washroom for freshen up and came back to the room and sat on the bed by holding the article. Once again I looked at Mark\'s face and his face is charming and excited when he is proposing to me. I lay on the bed by holding the article and touch Mark\'s face on the picture...
"I am so sorry, Mark, I know I hurt you by leaving you without letting you know where I am, I hope you will understand that I am safe by looking at my message in my phone and I am ready to take the punishment you give to me after we meet once the issues get solved because I break my first promise, by leaving you alone."
By finishing my words to the picture of Mark, I cuddle the article and started crying.
I know Mark I break my promise. You may think I act foolish, dumb, or cheated you but step into my shoes and think once, how much pain it is if someone threatens you because of me, how can I let it happen?
Please try to understand me, Mark...
I will come to you the moment John gets caught.
In between my thoughts I went to sleep, but I sense someone is trying to take the article from my cuddle. I tried to pull it more close to me but they take it forcefully. I got angry and opened my eyes and it\'s Mark who is lay beside me by holding the article and looking at me with his sharp eyes. I immediately hugged him and wrapped my legs and hands around him with a smile on my face...
Anna: "I thought someone take you away from me."
(I said and hugged him more tightly and closed my eyes to sleep and feel very happy that Mark is with me and lay beside me. After a few seconds my mind got strike with the thought that I should have hugged the article but how come real Mark. I immediately opened my eyes and looked at him again. He is still starring at me with his sharp eyes. I touched his nose with my finger and lead my finger towards his lips. He immediately got closer to me and started kissing me breathlessly...
OMG...
It\'s Mark...
I am still in shock, and I can sense his worry about me through his breathless kiss. To make him calm down, I started kissing him back...
