Anna's Pov:

I am scared to say the same thing to Mark.

I want Mark's support in this critical time, and it's better if I say everything to Mark right now so by tomorrow we both can make a decision. I waited for some more time for him but he did not come yet.

In between my thoughts, I went into a deep sleep and wake up in the morning. The first thought I got is Mark, I immediately looked around for him and did not find him on the bed.

I am so worried and didn't understand where he went, I immediately sit on the bed and looked at the clock for time. It's around 7:00 a.m. and the court will start at 9:00 a.m.

I can sense someone is staring at me and I turn my face to look at it and it's Mark...

My heartbeat skip for a second by looking at his face, his face is so red and furious and rage and watching me by sitting in a chair. I can understand it is going to be a disaster for me if I support my dad right now and I also understand he is in no way to listen to me if I try to convince him about my dad.

Anna: Mark...

(I take all my strength to spell out his name, but he is still looking at me with his furious rage face. I can understand he is waiting for me to wake up and by looking at his red eyes I can understand he didn't sleep last night.)

Anna: Mark, did you sleep last night?

Mark: slept?

How do you think I will sleep peacefully like you Anna?

Anna: Mark...

Mark: Shut up, Anna...

How do you think I can sleep peacefully when my sister's case court hearing is today and how do you think I will sleep peacefully when my wife is supporting the culprits in Ria's case?

(I stay quiet and understand Mark is furious at me and I am more scared to look at his serious face. I don't know what to speak to him and I don't know what to do, I just sit on the bed like a dead statue.)

Mark: Your silence is not the answer to my questions, Anna...

First, tell me did you changed your mind or not...

Do you still want to support your dad by claiming Ria's last note as supporting evidence?

Anna: Mark...

Please listen to me, Mark...

There may be a chance that my dad is not the culprit in Ria's case and there may be a chance that my dad was trapped by John and there may be a chance that the reports of his fingerprints are fake.

So...historical

Mark: Don't talk nonsense, Anna...

(Mark suddenly shouted at me with his loud rage tone. I am more scared and have no idea what to do. I know he doesn't listen to me but I did not expect that he is mad at me at this higher rage...

I stay paused for a few seconds and take a long breath and again try to explain to him.)

Anna: Mark please listen to me, once I got clarity about the reports are genuine and accurate, I will be the first person who will stand against to my dad...

Mark: How can I believe you, Anna?

Even though we got the result of the reports I am sure you don't change your mind and you will check for another loophole to save your dad from the case and you are least bothered about Ria's case, your only aim is to save your dad...

That's it...

You don't care about the justice for Ria's case...

Anna: Mark, please...

Mark: No Anna, I can't wait anymore this is happening from day one and I accepted you when you are trying to support your dad because we don't have solid proofs but now his finger prints got tallied and even though you are suspecting that the report is still fake.

After we got the reports that are genuine and accurate, you will definitely find some other way to escape your dad from this case, I don't want this delay when it comes to my sister's case...

Anna: No, Mark, I don't look for another loophole, I just want confirmation about the reports, that's it...

Please trust me this time...

Mark: I don't want to argue with you anymore, Anna, just say yes or no to my question...

Would you like to support your dad by claiming your dad is innocent by showing the proof of Ria's last letter?

Anna: Mark, I just want to postpone the proceeding until we got the accuracy of the report that's it...

Mark: I don't want to listen to your stupid analysis Anna, just say yes or no...

(Mark again shouted at me with his loud tone and I am scared and my body is filled with goosebumps and my body is turned to coldness and tears filled my eyes for my helpless condition. I try to stay strong but when Mark is shouting at me I am not in a position to control myself and he doesn't listen to me unless I say yes or no, so I nodded my head slowly as Yes.)

Mark: Say it, Anna...

You have the guts to do whatever you want so why are you crying to say it out loud?

Anna: Yes Mark, I don't want to risk my dad's life until I got the accuracy of the reports...

(I said with my cry tone, Mark immediately beat the window door with his tight fist out of rage and the glass of the window was broken and the glass is spilt around and his hand started bleeding...)
