Anna's POV:

The first time I hear Mark's voice through a call on the first day we met, and he told me about Ria's last letter to me...

And I still remember the moment when I heard his voice I got shrills all over my body, and his base voice makes me scared and the way he treated me on the first day was very rude, but I can understand his pain towards Ria and the moment when the gang teased me he came to me to save me at the late night, and there starts our love journey...

And now, when I am hearing his voice again through the call, I feel like the same shrill but in a different way...

His voice on the phone is really mesmerizing me, and I am smiling and blushing for no reason...

And I can't control my laugh when he asked me, How are you...

I understand he is missing me and I am missing him too...

I spent all the days and nights in these few days with him very closely, and our trip helps us to know more about each other, and we finally propose our love, and without knowing to us we got habituated to spend each other, and now we are missing each other even though a short distance apart us...

But when he leads our topic to kiss, I feel really shy...

And I know his kiss cravings if he is beside me, he will definitely kiss me very hard to satisfy his intense feelings...

But through the phone, he can't get satisfied, and I don't like to keep kisses through the phone...

So I resist to keep the kiss...

He is trying to convince me directly, but I don't feel like to keep kisses to him through the phone I feel like it's artificial...

Mark: Ok, Start your count down...

An electrified shrill passed through my spine when I heard his last sentence, and he hangs the call...

What does it mean?

Will he come to me now to kiss me?

I looked at the time, and it's around 3 pm, and I feel relieved by looking at the time...

If he wants to come early, he will come by 5 pm, and I am sure he will be busy with his work again...

In between my thoughts, someone holds my shoulder, and I looked at it...

It's Nanny she is smiling by looking at me...

Nanny: Is that Mark sir?

(She is asking me by looking at my phone where I just hang the call and I nodded my head as yes.)

Anna: How you know, Nanny..?

Nanny: By looking at your Blushed face, anyone can easily guess who is on the other side of the call...

(I smile at her with my blushed face and feel awkward a little bit...

Meanwhile, Alex ran to us and held Nanny's and my hand and pulling us to start the game...

I get up from the ground, and Nanny bought the blindfold, and Alex is excited by looking at the blindfold and jumping in excitement to play the game...

Nanny went to him and tied the blindfold on his eyes, and our game started...

Nanny and I are very cautious that he may lead to the pond, or he may hit to trees nearby and giving him hints to catch us...

After a few minutes, I feel very sorry for him because the game never ends and he is a kid and can't catch us...

So I voluntarily went to him and got caught by him, and pretend he catches me in the game...

Nanny understand I got caught intentionally, and Alex excited that he thinks he won the round and take his blindfold and went to Nanny to tie the blindfold to me...

Nanny came to me to tie the blind fold...

My heartbeat raises fast because I am scared for darkness, but I again looked at Alex; he feels worried if I didn't play the game...

So forcefully, I closed my eyes to make him happy, and Nanny ties the blindfold on my eyes, and the moment the blind fold is on my eyes, I got the flash of my blindfold game we played in our trip and caught three of the culprits of Ria's case...

I am really scared now again, What if I face any situation like that?

But I boost up to myself...

Anna...

Come on, it's just a small game, and you can catch Alex or Nanny...

That's it...

Nothing more, nothing less...

You can do it...

Alex: Anna sis...

Move...

I am here...

Nanny: Anna beta, take a step...

(Both of them are cheering and clapping, and I know I didn't dare to take any step to catch them...

But I can hear Alex screaming to make me to take a step...

So I hardly take one step and trying to catch them...

I can hear Alex and Nanny's chuckle for my actions, but I should manage a few more minutes, and then I will quit the game...

Suddenly I can't hear Nanny and Alex's voice; maybe they are teasing me that they are not around...

I am shouting Alex's name for his response, but he didn't respond...

Suddenly I can sense a hard hand gripped on my waist tightly and I immediately tried to take off my blindfold but he pinned my hand to my back and pulled me close to him and I didn't get scared because I know it's Mark...
