Anna dragged Alex to his car. As they both didn't have any other classes, they both were free now. Anna sat on the driving seat and tied a black color cloth on Alex's eyes. It was like a black blindfold.
"Anna, what are you even doing? Why can't I see where are we going?" Alex felt it was really uncomfortable for him. He was a fighter person and his eyes, senses were everything for him so being blindfolded was a difficult task for him to sit quietly.
"No! You can't see it. I will open it when we reach the destination." Anna persistently said. Hearing her say like this, Alex can only sigh and cooperate with her in this. Can someone even make Anna a great, change in her mind? Well, No!
He had no idea where she was taking him. She wasn't even telling and guessing did not work at all. All that was asked from him was to stay still and talk with her and he did as she asked him to do so with utmost respect and patience.
Anna kept on ranting her jokes all the way and Alex can't help but feel warm inside his heart. He just loves hearing her cute, innocent voice. He knew she is opening more and more to him and this was what he wants. Soon, he has something big to do!!
"Alex!! You even listening?!" Alex then came out of his thinking when he heard her voice. Anna had noticed that he was lost in his own world!
"Yep. How can I ignore such a cute voice when my eyes are not opened? I only have my ears now. My poor eyes." Hearing this, Anna can't help just laugh. It was rare to see Alex's side. But she knew he will love what she was going to show him, maybe?
"When you learned to drive the car?" Alex suddenly asked. He can feel that Anna was driving safely. It was only possible if you are driving for long. As he remembered, she was in an accident because of driving the car only last time.
"Umm... Maybe when I was 13? It was my brother who taught me. You know, it was my father who taught brother Seb and I used to be jealous. So to avoid hearing taunts from me, he taught me also but it was at that time not known to dad or mom." Anna cheerfully said. She still remembered how her brother taught her after she threatened him with her constant nagging. Well, her brother being a less talkative person, agreed to teach her so that he can get some peace!
Alex listened and was a little stunned. It was rare to see Anna talking about her family happy and that too about her dead brother. He had seen many people not talking about their loved ones who are already dead.
"Your brother's name was Seb?" Alex asked trying to shift the topic. He didn't want to take the risk and upset her mood. After all, she was giving him such a precious gift, he can tell this by her mood that she had planned something good for him. He can feel this by her voice and enthusiasm.
"Yes! My great-grandmother named him as he was the first great-grandchild." Anna explained.
"Then who kept your name?" Hearing this, Anna stopped talking. Her name?
"I kept my name on my own…" Anna slowly said in a low voice but Alex listened to what she wanted to say. He knew the story of her name very well but this was not known to Anna
But when she said this, she saw something in the rear mirror. They were going towards the countryside and it was not common to see cars here. But there was a car that was behind them for a few hours. She had first noticed it and kept it to herself, thinking that she might be imagining things. But now it was real! The car was really following her car!
Not hearing anything from Anna, Alex thought that maybe her mood became dull as she kept mum. He didn't know the danger lingering at them.
"Anna? You okay?" Alex carefully asked. He really wanted to remove this blindfold! But he did not do this because he knew this held Anna's happiness. She wanted to show him something and for her, he was ready to be blindfolded too.
"Alex...."
"Hmm?" Alex can sense a little tension in his voice. She was sounding a bit fearful.
"I...think there is a car following us..." She knew it was not an option to hide it from him. He was also there in the car. Even if the people behind were for her, this doesn't mean that Alex was safe. He was with her so his life was as much as in danger as her own self!
Anna can't show her techniques here. She could have increased speed and let them behind but she was afraid that Alex might see through her. He will know who she really was. Not wanting to make him afraid, she did what her instincts told her to.
After hearing this, Alex can't keep his calm. He instantly removed the blindfold, not even caring how Anna will feel. Her safety was at risk! He turned his face around and saw a black sedan following them. Just by one glance and he can tell it was with a fake number plate so they were Kevin's people. His bodyguards do not use this sign. But if this car was following them, why his people did not alert him?
"W-What should we do?"Anna asked a little hesitantly. She hoped that he had a good and better idea because she was least interested in revealing her true strength in cars.
"Keep on driving! Don't even slow down the car. Try, if you can leave them behind."
