Anna's POV:

It's around lunchtime, and I should not skip the lunch for Alex, so I carry him to the dining hall, and Nanny immediately served the food, and I helped Alex to have his food, and later I had mine...

Nanny is looking at both of us with her happy face...

Anna: What happened, Nanny..?

Nanny: Your brother is fortunate to found you as his sister, and you were really taking good care of him...

Anna: Actually, I am lucky to find him as my brother, and you know he will adjust to what he has...

And he is not a cry baby at all...

Nanny: Yes, beta, he is not like you...

(I immediately look shocked at Nanny...)

Anna: Nanny...

(We both laughed, and Nanny saw many times when I am crying in these few days, and there is nothing wrong what she said...

I am a cry baby, and I don't know why tears flow from my eyes when I feel emotional, happy, angry, sad...

What not...

Everything...

After we have the food, I asked Nanny about Rubeus uncle...)

Anna: Nanny, did Rubeus uncle came for lunch?

Nanny: No beta...

Anna: Can you please prepare his lunch? I will take to his room...

(This time I want to give his food and I don't try to get any information, and I am not interested to know any information from him...

I just want him to take food, or else his health may spoil... )

Nanny: No beta, I don't allow you to go to his room again...

Anna: it's ok, Nanny I just keep the food plate and come silently...

Nanny: No, and I don't particularly appreciate if he hurt you again and don't worry about his lunch...

I will take his lunch into his room...

Ok?

(I nod my head as yes, meanwhile Alex pulled my top and I looked at him...

Anna: What happened, Alex..?

Alex: Anna sis. Let's play the game...

Anna: Game?

Alex: Yes, Nanny promised me to play the blindfold game...

Nanny: Yes, beta, I promised him, and let's play with the kid he will feel happy...

Anna: ok Nanny, me and Alex will wait in the garden, and after your work is done we will start the game...

Is that ok, Alex?

Alex: yeyy...

I like the game...

(He is very happy and Blushed...,)

Anna: ok...

Until Nanny joins us, I will show you the pond in the garden, and there are some golden fishes in the garden...

Would you like to see?

(His face turned to amuse and nodded his head as Yes to see the pond. I hold his hand, and we both lead to the pond in the garden, and by looking at the fishes in the pond, he taps his legs and jumps in excitement I feel very happy by looking at him.

I sat nearby the pond and looking at Alex while he is enjoying by looking at the fishes and Playing with the grass in his own world...)

Anna: Hi Mona, how are you?

Mona: Hi Anna...

I am fine; how are you?

Anna: You know how I am...

Why would you ask me separately...

Mona: I am so sorry, Anna...

Anna: sorry?

Mona: Yes...

Actually, I don't know how to handle kids, but I tried my best to take care of Alex...

I don't mean to hurt him in another way...

(I didn't understand what she is trying to say...

Why is she apologizing, and why she thinks that she doesn't take good care of Alex...?)

Anna: Mona...

You really take good care of Alex than me and...

Mona: No, Anna, I know I am not taking proper care of him but guide me, I will definitely follow whatever you say...

(She is worried and in a hurry...

But I didn't understand why she is asking me about how to take care of Alex..?)

Anna: Yeah, sure, but I no need to guide you because you are really taking excellent care of Alex...

Mona: Are you sure?

Anna: yes...

Mona: then, is that ok that I want to keep Alex with me after my trip...

Anna: yes, I am 100% ok with it and Mark and I discussed about it last night, and we both are agreed to the same...

Mona: Thank you so much, and I will take care of Alex's food, particularly...

(Why she is speaking weirdly.)

Anna: Mona...

Is everything ok?

Mona: Yes, Anna...

Why did you ask that?

Anna: Why are you worried and asking me about Alex's food...?

I told you that you are really taking good care of Alex, and I am very happy about that, and I may not take care of him as you do...

Mona: Is that true?

Anna: Yes, and I am happily agreed when Mark said that you want to take Alex's custody...

Mona: That's it..?

Anna: Yes...

Mona: Don't you say anything about me like I don't know how to take care of children, and Alex is getting lean because under my caretaking?

Anna: What..?

Why would I tell that?

Actually, I want to call you personally to say thank you, but I think I may ruin your privacy, so I didn't make a call to you…

Wait...

Wait...

(When I am speaking to Mona, I am getting a call from Mark, and I understand he said something to Mona to tease her...

I smiled to my self, and I understand why she is acting weirdly, and I continued to speak to Mona...)

Anna: Did you speak to Mark?

Mona: Yes, Anna, just before...

(And I laughed that how blindly she believed Mark's words...)

Mona: Wait...

Wait...

Now I understand...

That idiot fellow teased me that I didn't take proper care of Alex, Right?

Anna: Yeah…

(We both laughed again...)

Mona: seriously, Anna...

If I were there, I will definitely kill him...

Anna: it's ok, Mona...

Mona: thank god, I feel relieved now...

Anna: Thank you, Mona, for taking care of Alex like your own brother...

Mona: No thanks, please...

You know one thing?

He is not my brother...

He is my Hero...

This is his pet name I will call him, and he likes it most...

Anna: Woww...

Very happy to hear that, and you know he missed you a lot...

Mona: Yeah...

I miss him too...

Actually, I want to take him on our trip...

I don't want him to leave at the baby care center, but Mark and Tom want to keep Alex in secret custody...

So I forcefully joined him in a baby care center for these few days...

Anna: Yeah, Mark told to me about this, and it's really good to keep him in the baby care center because we know how dangerous our trip went...

Mona: Yes, Anna, luckily, we all are safe...

Anna: Yeah, how's your surprise trip going on...

Mona: I am getting bored with Tom...

(I laughed at her, and I understand that she is saying it just because to tease Tom and if I am not wrong, Tom is just beside her.)

Anna: I never know you will get bored with Tom in your life, and I know how deeply you are in love with him...

Mona: look at him...

He is flexing the sky by listening to your words...

(We both laughed to each other...)

Mona: Anna, I bought a special gift for you...

Anna: Woww...

Really..?

Mona: yeah...

I guess you like it most...

Anna: what's that, Mona...

I am very excited to know what it is...

Mona: hold your excitement for one more day...

I am coming tomorrow, and I will give it to you...

Anna: you can tell me what's the gift...

Mona: no...

No..

No...

Surprise...

Anna: ok, then...

Would you like to speak to Alex?

Mona: Yeah..., I really want to speak to him...

(I immediately went close to Alex and switch on the speaker...)

Mona: Hey Herooo...

How are you?

(Alex faces lighten up by listening to Mona's voice...)

Alex: Mona sis..?

Mona: Yeah...

Are you enjoying yourself with your Anna sis?

Alex: Yeah...

You know there is a pond, and there are fishes in it, and they are moving very speedily.

Mona: Wowww...

Are you in the garden?

Alex: Yes...

And now I am playing the blindfold game with Anna sis and Nanny...

Mona: You are playing the blindfold game without me?

Alex: Yes…

When will you come?

Mona: I will come tomorrow...

Alex: yayyy...

(And again Alex diverted by looking at the fishes and I continued to speak to Mona...)

Anna: he is very happy when he speaks to you, Mona...

Mona: Yes, even I am...

Where is he?

Anna: he is busy in looking at the fishes again...

Mona: Hoo...

Cool...

Ok then...

I need to call Mark and want to scold him...

Anna: ok, then continue...

Bye...

Mona: bye, Anna...

Take care...

(After a few minutes I got a flash that Mark called me when I am speaking to Mona...

So I immediately took my phone and called him...

Mark: Anna..!

(The moment he lifted the phone he called my name very caressingly and in a lovable way...)
