223 Surprise Gif

Anna's POV:

Anna: "What do you mean he is on leave..?"

School management: "It means he is not there in our school or hostel and with some special permission, he takes leave..."

Anna: "Special permission?"

School management: "Yes, madam, a few days back, his guardian came and informed the management that he lost his mother, and he wants to take him on leave..."

(The moment I heard the word guardian, I am sure it's John...

He advanced a step and found the Alex whereabouts and kidnapped him from his school...

I made a big mistake...

I should take care of him on the next day of John's attack...

But I thought Alex would be safe in the hostel...)

Anna: "Can you tell me the details of the person who takes my brother..?"

School management: "Sorry, madam...

We can't help you by phone...

You should visit our school for further information with special permission if required..."

Anna: "Ok, can I visit now..?"

School management: "Sorry, madam, it's already afternoon, and we are closing the administration department...

Better you visit on tomorrow morning..."

Anna: "Ok, thank you..."

(What should I do now...

I have no clue to proceed further...

I should have told to Mark about Alex...

I don't care if he hates him like he hates my father for no reason...

Sooner or later Mark may accept Alex...

But see now...

I can't do anything...

I don't know where John is and don't know how he is taking care of Alex...

I am sure he will torture Alex for his revenge for no reason...

In between my thoughts, I passed a few more hours, and now the time is around 6 pm...

I can't suppress my bad thoughts, thinking that John may harm him to get revenge...

There may be a chance that my father may take Alex into his custody...

Yes, how I forgot about this...

If it really my father, then why the management informed its guardian..?

They would have informed it is his father to take him on leave, but they didn't…

So maybe it's not my dad...

So sure it's John who kidnapped my little brother...

But if John really kidnapped Alex by now, he should have reached me for blackmail...

So what might be his intention..?

It's not late yet better I should say this to Mark right now...

He will definitely help me to find my little brother...

I didn't hesitate and directly called to Mark...

He didn't respond...

It's around 7 pm...

He should be at home by 5 pm...

Maybe he is busy with his hectic work, that's the reason he didn't even respond to my call...

But it's an emergency, and he might think that I called him casually...

It's better I should message him that it's an emergency...

No no...

I again called him, and he didn't respond again...

After a few seconds, I got a message from mark...

"I am on the way...

Will be there in 10 minutes...

Everything ok?"

I take a breath after reading to his message...

I immediately replied to him...

"I need to talk to you, come to my room after you reach..."

I messaged him to come to my room directly because I can't wait at anywhere where his uncle may lurk on us, and I feel some discomfort...

So it's better to share about Alex in my room...

I don't know how Mark will react to me after I tell him about Alex...

Hope he should not treat him like my father and Alex is very innocent, and he doesn't know any politics...

Hope Mark should accept my concern and help me to find Alex with the help of Tom...

Just ten more minutes Anna...

Wait...

Wait...

After a few minutes...

Mark suddenly opened my door and entered in an amused face...

I can't control my tears the moment I looked at him...

I immediately ran to him and hugged him and started crying...

He didn't understand anything and frozen like a statue...

Mark: "Hey, Anna, what happened..?"

(He is trying to console me; all the pain in my heart comes out in the form of tears...

Maybe my sobbing includes the claim of theft on me without no reason by his uncle..."

Mark: "Did my uncle behaved severely with you..?"

(No.., Mark should not know what his uncle did to me...

So I strike my head as no...

And control my sobbings to explain to him about Alex...

Mark: "cool Anna, tell me what happened..."

I take all my strength to explain to him about Alex...

Anna: "Alex, my younger brother...

He is just five years old...

Anddd..."

(I can't control my sobbings again...

I can sense Mark is staring at me in shock...)

Mark: "You have another brother, right..?"

I nod my head as head...

Anna: "But I don't know where he is..?"

(And I hide my face on his chest to control my emotions...

I think he is angry or shock after listening to me, but he didn't...

Instead, he is chuckling and laughing a bit...

I immediately looked at him in a serious note...)

Mark: "Are you daydreaming, Anna..?

(I am shocked by his expression and reaction...)

Anna: "Mark, I am not joking..."

Mark: "Then?"

Anna: "I really have a little brother..."

Mark: "ok..."

Anna: "And he is missing..."

Mark: "What..?"

Anna: "Yes, Mark, I just called his school, and they said he is on leave...

I think it's John's plan to kidnap him...."

Mark: "Hoo...

But why John kidnaps his brother?"

(Why he is asking me these stupid questions...

Maybe his mind is not working after his hectic work...)

Anna: "I don't know about it, but we need to find Alex as early as possible...

He is a kid of 5 years old, and he knows nothing...

Please stop teasing me and help me Mark..."

(By finishing my words, my eyes again filled with tears...

He cleared my tears with his thumb finger and made me to look at him by holding my chin...)

Mark: "Don't forget I will be there to take care of YOU...

You means your family also includes...

Ok?"

(I feel relieved when I heard him that he would take care...

I am trying to explain to him about Alex, but he closed my mouth with his hand to not speak...

I am staring at him...)

Mark: "We can discuss about this later, and you should answer to all my questions, ok?"

(Later..?

It's already late, and we should start our search for Alex, but he said he would discuss it later...

I don't know what to answer, so I nod my head as yes in confusion...)

Mark: "That's a good girl...

And now I am going to give you a surprise...

Come to the dining table..."

(What he is doing...

He didn't care about Alex and how he thinks that I will enjoy his surprise...

I am not at all interested...

So I immediately tried to convince him again...)

Anna: "Mark, please postpone your surprise...

I can't enjoy it right now, and I am worried about my brother...

Please call to Tom and inform him about the school details...

He may help us..."

Mark: "Shhhhhh...

Anna...

Control...

I am sure nothing bad will happen to your younger brother, and will you come with me for a surprise?"

(I can't convince him anymore...

Better I should search Alex on my own way without depending on him...

And I didn't try anymore to convince him and nod my head as Yes...

He smiled at me and held my hand, and we both are walking towards the dining room...

But my mind is still struck with Alex...

Why does Mark not understand my emotions towards my brother..?

And he only aims to surprise me with something, maybe with some foodstuff, because he is leading me to the dining table...

In-between my thoughts, we are near to the steps to get down...

Hope Mark's uncle should not be there...

If he is there, he will do something bad to me like before...

When I am getting down the steps, I looked at the table, and I didn't find anything surprising... when there are a few more steps to get down, I see a small head, and I can hardly see his hair sit in the chair of the dining table, and he is covered with chair back cushion, and I can not look at him clearly except his back head with hair with the Same blend like Alex...

My heartbeat is rising fast, and my Palms get wet and moving step by step close to him to look at his face...
