Mark's POV:

Getting this project is like my dream come true, now I should work hard more till I finished it and I am sure after my presentation they will definitely sanction my project...

Anna is really a lucky charm in my life. She is responsible for all the good things happening to me, she always brings the bliss towards me with her cute smile. In between my thoughts, I hugged her more tightly as a thank you for her congratulations...

She chuckled with happiness for the good news)

Mark: Anna, do you remember?

You helped me when I am finalising this project quotation

Anna: Me?

Mark: On the day when you prepare the strawberry dessert for the first time, which is exclusively eaten by me, and you bought it into my office with a sudden surprise. Do you remember on the same day after our lunch you helped me with some office work?

Anna: Yes, Mark, I still remember the concepts you explained to me

Mark: Yeah, with your help I climbed my first step in my dream project, Anna, thank you so much

Anna: The credit goes to you Mark, you are worth it for your hard work, and I know you will rule the world soon with your business intelligence

So when and where is your meeting?

Mark: Yeah, my meeting is tomorrow, and the place is at the outstation, it may take one hour on the flight...

Mona: But Mark...

(I loosen my hug and turned towards Mona, she knows more about my dream project. I didn't understand why she is not excited instead she is looking at me with her worried face.)

Mark: What happened, Mona?

Mona: We are planning your wedding in 2 to 3 days, there are many things to be done regarding wedding arrangements even though it is a simple wedding...

Mark: Yeah, don't worry about it, Mona, we still have 2 days...

Mona: Yeah but you are going to outstation for the meeting...

Mark: Yes, but you no need to worry about it because my meeting is from tomorrow afternoon and I will be returned by tomorrow night. In the meantime, both you and Anna finish the wedding shopping, Okay?

(By finishing my words, I hand over my credit card to Anna. She looked at it but didn't take it and I know she will always hesitate to use my money...)

Mark: Anna, you have a right to use your hubby's treasures. Take it...

(She still didn't react anything as a sign of rejection.)

Mark: Take it, Anna...

(She strikes her head as no and looking at the ground.)

Mona: Come on Anna, it's your hubby's card. You have all the right to use it, Don't think much and accept it

(Anna immediately turned to Mona.)

Anna: No Mona, I don't like to use his money. He already spent a lot for me...

Mona: Hoo God, Anna...

You are not an outsider and you have all the rights to use your hubby's treasures, take it, Anna

(Anna is still looking at the ground as a rejection.)

Rubeus uncle: Don't force my little girl, she really doesn't like to use Mark's monies...

Mona: Uncle, you too started supporting her?

Rubeus uncle: I am just saying the fact of my baby.

Mark: Ok then, take this card, Mona, and buy all the necessities that Anna need for our wedding.

Mona: Sure Mark...

(By finishing her words Mona take the card and again looked at Anna.)

Mona: Anna, tomorrow we are going to shop for a wedding dress get ready by 10 a.m, ok?

Anna: Wedding dress?

Mona: Of course the wedding dress, are you planning to wear a casual outfit at your wedding?

(Anna chuckled and strike her head as no.)

Mona: Actually I want to plan a personal designer wear wedding dress for you but it may take at least 2 weeks, by that time both of you are done with your honeymoon too...

(I smile by listening to Mona's statement.)

Mark: So, what are you planning for my girl's wedding dress?

Mona: What else I can do other than selecting a readymade wedding dress.

Mark: Yeah, choose the perfect dress which suits for Anna...

Mona: Yeah, that for sure...

Rubeus uncle: What about your wedding suit, my son?

Mona: Uncle, do you really think he needs a new wedding suit?

He has many suits, and he can wear anything which suits to the wedding and he no need to buy it exclusively for his wedding...

But when it comes to girls, we need to do a lot of shopping for the wedding...

Mark: Who said you are a girl, Mona?

(Mona immediately looked at me with a serious note, I immediately tapped on her head in a teasing way.)

Mark: Don't worry, I will give one of my suits for you to wear at your wedding

Mona: See, uncle, how he is teasing me

Immediately Anna went close to Mona and looked at me and said, "Mark, Mona is a real angel, she needs a pretty good looking dress on her wedding but not your suit"

Rubeus uncle: Yeah, I agree with Mona and Anna...

Mark: Yeah, you agree whatever they say and I am sure Mona will make me stand before everyone with just a tie and underwear...

(All of them laughed by listening to me. After a few seconds Mona again looked at me with her confused face.)

Mona: Mark...

Mark: Yeah...

Mona: Is that okay to share the details of your dream project to Genie?

Mark: Why did you get that doubt?

Mona: I don't know why, but I personally feel it's not safe to share your dream project to her.
