Novel Full Chapter 374 - Bracelet And The Box?
Mark's Pov:
Anna: She already told me long back about it, Mark...
Mark: Long back?
Anna: Yes, most probably on the next day of our trip she said that Rubeus uncle checked the Ria's room, I thought he is checking for the bracelet...
Mark: Bracelet?
Anna: Yes, the engraved pearl bracelet, Do you remember my engraved pearl bracelet?
Mark: Yeah, Ria gifted it to you, right?
Anna: Yes, but the point is Rubeus uncle gifted it to Ria it seems, maybe he gifted it on her birthday and he searched for the bracelet in Ria's room and lead to my room to check it out and took the bracelet on the same day.
Mark: Why don't you say to him that Ria gifted it to you?
Anna: I said, but...
Mark: but?
Anna: but Rubeus uncle thinks that I stole Ria's bracelet...
Mark: What the hell...
Why didn't you say to me about this, Anna?
Anna: Mark, in the starting few days Rubeus uncle thought I am after you by looking at your property and money, and by that time you are not yet speaking to Rubeus uncle. so I don't want to make it as a scene.
Mark: You have to tell to me Anna, how do you think I will take it in an easy way when someone put a claim on you that you are a theft?
Anna: Mark, I know you will take it very seriously and by listening to this issue you never again speak to Rubeus uncle. That's the reason I didn't tell you about it.
Mark: Even now, How do you think I will take it easy when my own Rubeus uncle bullied you in the name of theft...
Anna: Mark, that's the reason I hide it from you, and I am saying it now to get the clarity about the mess in Ria's room and most importantly on our engagement party night Rubeus uncle gave the bracelet to me and apologized to me for his rude behaviour towards me.
(I nodded my head as okay and pulled Anna more close to me and make her sit on my lap in the bathing tub.)
Mark: So both of you fight to each other and again team up, but didn't let me know anything about it.
Anna: Mark, I just hide it because it's not important and I don't want to increase issues between both of you and I know how much both of you love to each other. So I hide it to save your relationship with your uncle but later Rubeus uncle realised my genuine love and apologised me, what else I need other than an understanding, caring uncle.
Mark: But Anna, from the next time please say to me everything and doesn't hide the pain in your heart, Okay?
(Anna nodded her head as ok, I can understand how much pain she took when my Rubeus uncle bullied her and I know how my uncle will kill others with his rude words if he doesn't like, but luckily he accepted Anna.)
Anna: But...
Mark: but?
Anna: After he takes the bracelet from me in the name of theft, I saw him once in Ria's room and he is searching for something.
Mark: What?
Anna: Yes, Mark, by that time he is worried and nervous and at the same time searching the room in a hurry. I asked him what he is searching for. He said he is searching for the box and didn't tell me what is that box and abruptly left the room and I didn't understand which box he is looking for and I didn't understand what his intentions behind searching for a box.
Mark: What is that box, Anna?
Anna: I don't know, Mark, before I ask him he left the room and by that time Rubeus uncle is angry at me for some reasons so I didn't dare to ask him more than that.
Mark: maybe he is searching for something which has a memory with Ria...
Anna: maybe, but I don't think he is searching for a sweet memory with Ria, I can clearly sense his nervous and anxiety when he is searching for it and I didn't understand why Rubeus uncle is so particular on the pearl bracelet…
Mark: you said that he thought you stole the bracelet, so he showed his rage…
Anna: Mark, just step into his shoes and think, when his niece died by suicide, he should worry about Ria's loss but instead he searched for the bracelet and directly lead to my room and took away the bracelet, later he searched for the box in Ria's room and I am sure he didn't search for Ria's memories. I guess something is hidden in Ria's room, Mark...
Mark: Hidden?
Anna: Yes, Mark, I don't know what it is and I can't guess what it might be, but I am sure something is hidden in Ria's room. Maybe it may help us to solve Ria's case.
Mark: I stayed in Ria's room for a few days after her death, Anna, and I searched everywhere for a clue but I didn't find any clue or any note from Ria except the last letter she wrote for you...
But I didn't understand why she didn't even write the last note to me...
Does she think I am nothing to her?
Or is she angry at me for something?
(Anna immediately placed her palm on my cheek to make me calm down from my emotion. But from the day Ria left me and particularly when I found the last letter to Anna, I am thinking about it and it's really killing me from inside and the only question is Why did my sister didn't even write a letter to me...)
Anna: Mark, maybe Ria might think that you may hurt every day by reading her last notes, if she is really angry at you why did she mentioned about you in her last letter which is written to me?
And particularly, she cautioned me to take care of you...
(I nodded my head as yes and feel relieved that at least Ria mentioned about me in her last letter to Anna...)
Anna: So, tell me, am I taking proper care of you as Ria said?
Mark: Yeah, you are doing more than what Ria said...
Anna: More than?
Mark: Yes, Ria just said to take care of me but you are taking care with your love, so it's more than what Ria said...
(Anna chuckled and hugged me by wrapping her hands around my neck. I feel relieved when she hugged me and her hug is more intense because her body is wet so I pulled her more close to me and enjoyed her hug.)
Anna: Mark, do you know one thing?
(She murmured in my ear.).
Mark: What?
Anna: Ria asked me to marry you at our last meeting.
Mark: What?
Anna: Yes, Mark, you know how much I love her, so I asked her that I should stay with her life long. So after thinking for a few more minutes, she concluded that I should marry you to live with her life long...
Mark: So both of you bargain me like a doll for your friendship.
(By listening to me, Anna chuckled again.)
Anna: Actually I didn't know you by that time and I thought Ria is joking but it leads to serious conversation, and Ria requested me to marry you because...
Mark: because?
Anna: because she thinks I will definitely take proper care of you, So...
Mark: Soo...
Anna: I never say no to Ria, she always knows what I want, and she always takes care of me...
Mark: So did you say Yes to my sister that you will marry me?
(Anna strikes her head as no...)
Mark: What?
You didn't say Yes to marry me when my sister, so-called your best friend, requested you...?
(Anna immediately closed my mouth with her hand.)
Anna: I neither say no...
Mark: what do you mean?
Anna: I didn't say Yes or no, I just skip the topic but Mona takes the promise from me...
Mark: So you are loving me before you met me, am I right?
Anna: I didn't love you when Ria asked me to marry you, but I think that I should marry you because I can stay with Ria. You know one thing; I feel like you are a big shot and definitely dating some other girl who is rich and beautiful and most importantly I think why you will fall after a girl which has nothing…
But you proved it wrong, Mark…
You love me when I have nothing and I am blessed I find your true love in my life...
You take away all my sorrow...
You replaced my nightmares with beautiful dreams…
You replaced all my worries with happiness…
You replaced all my fears with your love…
What else a girl needs other than a caring and understanding love from her boyfriend so-called my future husband?
I am blessed to find you Mark, and I am sure Ria will be very happy by looking at us…
(Anna's eyes became wet when she is saying about her genuine feelings towards me actually I am very blessed to find such a cute little lovable angel in my life.
I pulled her more close to me and started kissing on her lips and she immediately started responding to my kiss very intensely.)
