Anna's POV:

I got a flash of memories of my dad that I have from my childhood from the moment when I think about my dad...

He always supports me, and he never lets me down, and he takes good care of my mom, and he never shows partiality among John and me...

I am still looking at his back, and I need to confirm he is my father or not by looking at his face...

My eyes are becoming blurred, and I am waiting for his turn...

The moment he is about to turn, someone tapped on my shoulder...

And I looked at him, and it's Mark...

He is looking at me, worried, and his face is full of sweat and he is breathing heavily...

I immediately went close to him and wiped his sweat with the tissue and looked at his eyes...

He is still staring at me with his sharp eyes, and he suddenly hugged me tightly, and I can hear the sound of his raised heartbeat...

He is worried...

I understand he is worried for me...

I immediately raised my head and looked at him, and his face became normal, and he losen his hug a bit and wiped on my cheek...

Tears...

Those are the tears I got when I got a flash of my dad...

Wait...

Wait...

My dad...

I immediately turned my face to look at him again, but I didn't find anybody there similar to him...

Mark: What happened, Anna?

(I immediately looked at Mark and his face is still a little nervous...)

Anna: Mark, I am safe...

Don't worry anymore, and I just stopped here to check out something and I am sorry for not letting you know that I am here...

Mark: it's ok, Anna...

I am just scared...

What if any unexpected thing happened to you?

And you know John is still outside, and he may harm you or threaten you...

Anna: I am sorry, Mark...

I make you worried...

Mark: you should have told me, and it's my fault too...

I didn't look after you and busy in speaking into the call...

Anna: No Mark, you did nothing wrong, and from the next time, I will let you know, ok?

Mark: Hmmm...

(He again hugged me tightly with his caring...

Later we lead to the car, and we started...

But my thoughts are still revolving around my dad...

Shall I say to Mark about the same?

No...

No...

He may think in another way, and actually, myself don't know he is my dad or not because I didn't see his face in the shop...

And what if he is really my dad?

It seems he is safe...

Thank god...

John didn't threaten him, and he is alive and fine, but why he didn't come to look after me...

I think he knows the information that I am with Mark because all the paparazzi captured us on the party night evening...

Why..?

Why..?

Why he didn't come to me...

No...

If my father is really free from John, he will come to me in the first instance...

Mark: What happened, Anna?

(My thoughts were distracted by Mark's words and I don't know what to say...

Shall I tell him the truth that I saw a person similar to my dad?)

Mark: Anna...

You no need to say if it is your personal...

(After I listened to him, I feel very sorry, and I don't care about how he will react and expressed my thoughts.)

Anna: There should be no personal information between us, Mark...

(He remained silent for few seconds...)

Anna: I saw a person similar to my dad's features...

(Mark immediately sidetracked the car and stopped it by a sudden break...

I didn't expect his reaction and looked at him, and his face turned to furious.)

Mark: What?

Anna: I am not sure, Mark...

Mark: Anna, tell the truth...

(Truth?

Does it mean he does not believe me?)

Anna: Mark, why do you think that I am not telling the truth?

Mark: I don't have time to argue with you, Anna...

Anna: ok, what do you want to know?

Mark: Did you see your father?

Anna: I am not sure, Mark...

I saw him from behind his back, and I didn't see his face, so I can't assure you...

Mark: I have my ways to assure...

(He said with his angry tone and take the phone from his pocket and make a call...

Why he is furious all of a sudden and why he is looking at me like I am cheating on him...

In between my thoughts, I can hear the phone ring sound via Bluetooth speakers...

Mark: Hello, Tom...

Tom: Hi, Mark...

Mark: Where are you?

Tom: I am on the way to the interrogation room for interrogation...

Mark: ok, can you please monitor the CCTV footage of the complex? I will send the details through the message...

Tom: Yeah, sure...

Is everything ok?

Mark: Yeah, as far now it's ok...

Actually, Anna suspects that she saw a person similar to her dad's features, and I think he is her father...

We are very close to him, Tom...

Please make it fast...

Tom: I will follow up and don't worry, we can easily catch him...

Mark: Ok then, let me know if you find any information..

Tom: Sure, Mark...

(I am really upset by listening to their conversation...

I know my dad is one of the suspects in Ria's case, and I know he will prove that he is not guilty...

But why Mark is reacting in a harsh way when it comes to my dad...
