Mark's POV:
Mona: Maybe she might fell unconscious when Lucus reached her and she might don't know that she was attacked by Lucus, and Lucus may take advantage of Ria's unconscious position...
Whatever may be the situation, Mark, it is confirmed that he is one of the culprits in Ria's case.
(Suddenly tears filled my eyes for the pain taken by my sister. How he can attack Ria in such a brutal way?
She is at the age of his daughter...
Is this the way he should treat her?
Is this the way he will treat his daughter's friend?
My rage got hyper and I feel like I want to kill him with my hands...
I feel like I want to torture him to hell...
And I don't let him to escape from prison and I will kill him if he tried to escape from the punishment given by the court.
I don't allow him to escape from the prison and I don't allow Anna to support her dad at any cost...)
Tom: So, now the point is, we should stop Anna to support her dad in one way or the other...
Mona: Yes, we have a very short time, Tom, What should we do now?
Tom: My turn and Mark's turn to convince her is over, Mona, so now it's your turn to convince her and I hope you will do a better job than us...
Mona: I don't know how to convince her, Tom...
Tom: Think about it, Mona, you will definitely find a way...
(Mona was involved in her deep thoughts for some time.)
Mona: I think we no need to prove to Anna about her dad's crime.
Mark: What?
Do you think she will agree to us if we didn't prove about her dad crime?
Mona: Yes, Mark, we no need to prove to her about her dad's crime on Ria but we should make her believe and realise about her dad crimes...
Tom: Yeah, but we have no proof left to prove about him...
All we have is the clues and it is very tough for us to change her mind.
Mona: We should explain to her all the clues we find, and we should say to her about her mom's scratches tallied with Ria too...
Mark: Yes Mona, that's really a great idea, say to her that her dad is a pervert and he scratched her mom's body in the same tortured way like he did to Ria...
Mona: Yes Mark, I will explain to her everything but first tell me one thing, shall I reveal the secret about her mom?
Mark: I don't care, Mona, I am okay to reveal the secret for the sake of Ria's case...
What do you think Tom?
Tom: Well, I guess this is not the right time to reveal about her mother because the entire topic will be diverted towards the opposite direction and her mother is still unconscious and will say nothing to Anna about her dad and Anna may get outburst with emotion by looking at her mother's unconscious position...
Mark: Yes Tom, Anna might think we are not on the right path and may suspect us that we are hiding everything from her...
It may arise new issues than solving the current issues...
Tom: Mona, it's better to not say anything to her about her mom...
Mona: Then it's a very tough job for us to convince Anna, Tom, I have only hope on Anna's mom, I guess she will accept once she looked at her mother...
Tom: Try something else, Mona, this is not the right time to reveal Anna's mother, Mona...
Think about it...
It may impact trust on us...
(We are all involved in our deep thoughts, and after a few minutes finally, Mona get up from the chair and looked at both of us.)
Mona: OK, I will say to her that I have examined her mother's body and the scratches are similar to Ria's body...
(Both me and Tom nodded our head as ok because this is the best possible way to convince Anna. But I feel a little low because I still didn't say anything to Anna about her mom, and I have no idea how she will receive it, but I hope she will understand me.)
Tom: That's great idea, Mona, it's better to say to her about it but be careful don't let her know that her mom is still alive, we will reveal it when the right time comes...
Mona: Okey, Tom, I hope Anna should understand the situation and will excuse me after she is knowing about her mother...
(By listening to I can understand she too feeling the same way I feel.)
Mark: She will definitely understand, Mona, don't worry about it, as Tom said we will let her know when the right time comes...
Tom: Yes Mona, she will definitely understand, you no need to worry about it, we all know how sensitive she is, that's the reason we are dealing her in this smooth way...
And now everything is in your hands and I am sure Anna will listen to you...
Mona: Ok, at first I will go to my room and freshen up and prepare myself and then I will go to Anna and try to convince her...
Mark: okay, take your time...
(Mona immediately walk towards her room in a hurry. I can understand how much pressure she is taking to convince Anna because she is the only last hope we have to convince Anna but I still have a doubt that Anna will not get convinced for Mona's reasons.
Because her eyes is covered with her father's fake love...
Whatever I need to find another way to convince Anna...
