Anna's POV:

Anna: uncle...

Please, don't talk in such a way, uncle...

Please...

and I don't let it happen again and I am sure we will sort out all the issue soon...

(I said with requested tone because I want him to live happily with his soul mate by sharing eternal love with each other, After listening to Rubeus uncle's past I feel so sad and I wish he wants to taste the true love in his life and live happily with the rest of his life…

He faced many things in his life; he faced cheating, betrayal, loneliness, but I am sure all his worries and sorrows will be taken away when he find the true love.)

Rubeus uncle: Okay dear, I will try to not speak in such away…

Anna: You should never again speak those words, uncle…

Rubeus uncle: OK, Ok, I never speak those words, Okay?

(I nodded my head as okay and looked at Rubeus uncle with my smiling face.)

Rubeus uncle: But do you know what is the last thought I got when I got poisoned?

(I strike my head as no because I have no clue about Rubeus uncle's thoughts and can't even guess it because I just spend a few minutes with Rubeus uncle before the attack...)

Rubeus uncle: I got a flash of Mark, Anna, I worried about him and I don't want him to face the loneliness in his life because I know how loneliness will be and its horrible; I know both of you are engaged but I feel more confident about your relationship when you get married so I decided it the moment I recovered...

So Mona joined hands with me and I played the drama of my sickness and luckily both of you are marrying tomorrow and I feel relieved because my Mark is not alone anymore.

I am sorry that I am a bit partial to Mark, Anna...

(I smile by listening to Rubeus uncle and yes he is a bit partial to Mark because he loved him so much but it doesn't mean he will threaten my life for Mark's safety...

The only thought I am scared of now is what action Joseph will take when he got to know about Mark's wedding is happening with me and as Rubeus uncle says, he will definitely target me, so I should be more careful of my future enemy.

Whatever, we should get ready to face the consequences and catch those people who are behind everything, and I am sure we will sort out all the issues in a few days because I got some clarity that who might be behind all these issues and now we can predict what can be their next target and I feel a little bit relieved after listening to Rubeus uncle's past and now I got the clarity about why Rubeus uncle left Mark and why he came back again...

But there are many questions I need to speak to him about. I want to know what he searched in Ria's room and I want to know what is the box he is searching for and I also want to know about his opinion on Nanny because he stressed out the names of Joseph and Nanny when Mark asked him that who might be after him but Rubeus uncle said they are loyal workers, does he directly said about their loyalty?

Or he indirectly said they are not loyal but pretend they are loyal…

Yes, so far from our discussion I can conclude Joseph is not at all loyal employee to Mark's company, so in the similar way Nanny…

Does it mean Nanny is not a loyal servant?

Omg…

What?

What I am thinking about Nanny?

How can I come to a conclusion without asking Rubeus uncle about Nanny?)

Rubeus uncle: So all your doubts get clarified?

(I immediately strike my head as no and looked at Rubeus uncle with my confusing face. Rubeus uncle shocked and widened his eyes as to what...)

Rubeus uncle: Anna, do you still want to know more from me?

Anna: I have a few doubts uncle...

(I said slowly in a requesting tone.)

Rubeus uncle: I am always scared when I listened to your requesting tone…

Anna: Why uncle?

(I asked him with my pout face.)

Rubeus uncle: because every time you will ask the typical question in that tone and finally you will get the answer from me when I looked at your innocent pout face…

(I smiled by listening to Rubeus uncle and again requested him.)

Anna: Please uncle…

Rubeus uncle: Exactly..

You will ask in the same way in the same tone to get answers from me…

(I smiled at him and still looking at him for his acceptance.)

Rubeus uncle: Okay dear, ask me, regarding what you still want to know?

(I immediately looked at my engraved bracelet, which is gifted by Ria, and pointed my bracelet to Rubeus uncle...)

Anna: I want to know about this bracelet, uncle...

(I know it's a gift he gave to Ria, but I want to know the reason behind he searched for a bracelet because I feel something might be connected to Ria's case. In between my thoughts, Rubeus uncle holds the bracelet and his eyes turned to wet when he looked at the bracelet. I understand he got flashes of Ria when he touched the bracelet.)

Rubeus uncle: First tell me, when, where and why Ria gifted it to you?

(I nodded my head as okay and started explaining to him.)

Anna: Uncle, from my childhood Ria, is a very close friend to me, I share everything with her she is like my shadow who always supported me and guides me in the right path…

But I got a phase to travel my life without her and I need to leave Ria because our academics are done in our school, we should take a long leave and we should plan and join into the college for a particular course, and luckily we both got the seats in the same college, I am so excited and happy because Ria will stay with me again but Ria left me permanently in those holidays; she left me abruptly, uncle...

(My eyes filled with tears when I am explaining about Ria. I really missed her, and I didn't expect that she will leave me this early, I tried to control my tears and looked at Rubeus uncle to continue my explanation.)

Anna: When I am leaving the hostel, I hold Ria and cried, uncle, because I can't live without her, she is such a close buddy to me and she always take care of me, and when I cried by holding her, she is consoling me by tapping me on my back as Okay, after a few seconds she takes her bracelet from her hand and placed it on my hand and said, "Wear this bracelet Anna, and think I hold your wrist whenever you need me and feel me that I stand behind you and guiding you whenever you Miss me okay? "

By finishing her words, she placed her bracelet on my wrist and hooked it…

(I hold the pearl in the bracelet and started crying for the thought of Ria, Rubeus uncle came close to me and tap on my back to console me, I get stabilised after a few seconds and looked at Rubeus uncle.)

Anna: from that day onwards I wear this bracelet every time uncle whenever I want Ria's advice I hold the bracelet and feel that she holds my wrist to guide me and take the decision, and when you take away the bracelet from me, I feel like you are taking my life away from me, I can understand you are mad at me by that time but it's very hard for me to live without her bracelet.

Rubeus uncle: I am so sorry for what I have done to you dear…

Anna: It's okay, uncle, you no need to apologise me, actually I am so glad that you understand early that what I am and gave me this bracelet at the right time during our engagement party. I am so happy that I was engaged to Mark when Ria's bracelet is on my wrist…

It is so precious to me uncle…

(Rubeus uncle pampered me on my head.)

Rubeus uncle: I agree with you Anna, sometimes the value of the object will depend on the sweet memory we have with it, irrespective of the original cost.

(I nodded my head as yes and yes I have another sweet memory object with me, which is gifted by Mark, I hold the pendent of my chain and visualize how caressingly he placed it on my neck before our engagement. These two are more precious to me irrespective of their cost.)

Rubeus uncle: So, you don't know anything about the box of that bracelet?

(I am shocked the moment I listened to Rubeus uncle and I immediately strike my head as no, actually, I want to ask him about the box he is looking for but he in reverse asked me about the box but this time he asked me about the bracelet box and he gives clarity that the box may be related to this bracelet and I still remember how he searched the box in Ria's room, so it's better If I confirmed from him whether the box he searched and the bracelet box are same.)
