Mark's Pov:

I can understand Lucus is playing with Anna's emotions to get escape and Anna is not in a mood to listen to me or Tom, she is trying to request us to leave her father. My rage got hyper when I looked at her.)

Mark: Shut up, Anna…

(I shouted loudly at her out of my rage and furious. She stands like a frozen statue and Alex started crying after listening to my angry tone but for me, her behaviour is so disgusting and I don't want to look at her when she is supporting her dad and how can she support him?

He is the person who tried to attack Ria, and now she is supporting him...

In between my thoughts, Tom came to us worriedly.

Tom: Mark and Anna listen to me….

There are some proceedings to be taken by the police and I need to follow them…

And Anna, as of now I will take your dad to the police station to start my interrogation and we can decide later about his genuineness. Till then both of you stay calm and follow my orders right, Okay?

(Tom tried to stop the fight between me and Anna but after listening to him Anna again started requesting Tom to take care of his dad.

Anna: Tom please try to understand my dad is not the culprit of Ria's case, he is innocent and he does not know anything of what actually happened to Ria, he just tried to help her and it's all John's trap to make my dad get into trouble, Please save him Tom, please save him...

(Anna went close to Tom and requesting him with her crying face and she didn't drop her thoughts and still continuing supporting her father even after listening to my serious note, It's really disgusting to look at her like this when she is supporting her dad…

Actually, whenever I yell at her, I feel very bad and low and I am the most worried person by looking at her tears, but this time I am getting hatred feeling on her after looking at her behaviour…

Why she is acting in such a way?

Why did she can't understand the situation?

Why she is not accepting to arrest her father?)

Tom: Anna, I can understand what you mean, but I need to follow some police protocols…

So please excuse me and allow me to do my work…

And Mark, take care of Anna and don't shout at her, both of you go to your wedding ground right now...

No...

(Both Anna and I shouted at the same time, and I am not in a position to enjoy my wedding, because for me justice to Ria's case is more important than my wedding and now I just want to sort out the Lucas issue first later we will continue our wedding and she said no because she wants to be with her father and she wants to support him at every time even though he is the culprit to Ria's case and her father became more important to her than me…

It's okay, I can understand she gives me the least priority comparing to her father but protecting her father implies she is giving the least priority to Ria too…

Ria is such a close friend to her, then why she is not thinking from Ria's point of you?

Why she is supporting her dad without a sound reason?

Why she is not analyzing the situation?

I know her intellectual skills are very high and if she thinks she will find who are the suspects, but she is not thinking about it, the only thing she is thinking about is her father…

I am getting the hated feeling on her for her disgusting behaviour towards her dad...

Why she changed in this way all of a sudden?

Why she can't understand the situation?

What happened to her?

Is this my Anna?

Tom: Mark and Anna please try to understand the situation, I should take care of immediate investigation and I need to follow some police procedures, so please try to understand.

Anna: Tom, what do you mean by police procedures?

Will you beat my dad to death?

Or will you talk to him until he agrees with the lies he did not do...?

Please, Tom, my dad is innocent, please don't hurt him…

(Aana is requesting Tom with her deep crying and sobbing but by listening to her words I can understand she is not in a position to realise the fact about her father. So I pulled her close to me by holding her hand as a hint to stop supporting her dad. She looked at me with that teary face and again started requesting me about her dad.)

Anna: Mark, please try to understand the situation. He is not the culprit of Ria's case. He tried to save me from John and he knows nothing about what John and his friends did to Ria, till now John kidnapped my dad and tortured him…

Please try to understand Mark…

Please…

And say to Tom to don't threaten my dad.

(Anna said with her sobbing tone.)

Mark: You should try to understand the situation, Anna, and it's not me and Tom...

(I again shouted at her, I can't control my anger by looking at her face. How can she support her dad without reason?

I already told her that the persons who attacked Ria are five and her father will be the fifth suspect. But how can she think her father was not involved in this case?

And how can she think that her father does not know anything about Ria..?
