Anna's Pov:
I came to my room..
Tears are rolling from my eyes. I tried to hide my tears from Mark but after I came to my room, I can't control them anymore, I sat on my bed, and I started crying..
I am happy before Genie's visit but when she said, "I don't give answers to the one who can't afford a dress."
Her dagger words stab into my heart, it hurts me a lot. Yes, what she said was true. I can't even afford a dress. I lost everything in my life and now I can't even afford to buy a slice of bread at least.
If Mark asks me to get out of his house, I have to sell my body to fill my tummy.
No Anna, no, no...
You should not lose your character, if it comes to the point of my character, it's better to die than losing my character.
My mom, she is the only one who cares about me.
My mom personally takes care of my dresses and I don't even know how to select my own dress. She always prefers best for me even in hard times too and I don't know how to live my life without my mom..
Mark, he really takes excellent care of me but I can't depend on him like this..
After Ria's case gets closed, I should leave Mark, after that I am alone. No one is there in my life.
Tears are rolling from my eyes, and I am taking deep sobbing in between my thoughts. I didn't even touch my mom for one last time but I feel better if Mark takes me to my mom's final rituals..
But he didn't..
When I ask him about my mom, he said he would take me to her grave, I really feel bad but it's ok to visit the grave, at least...
I close my eyes, I got flashes of what Genie said about my clothes. Yes, she is right...
My mom always says, If I am not afforded for it, then I don't have a right to enjoy it..
I can't afford for a dress of 2.2 Million, so I should not accept it and I don't go to the party too.
Tomorrow morning, I will inform this to Mark. Meanwhile, Nanny entered into my room to sleep, I clean my face with my hands, and I said, "Nanny, You can sleep at your place, I can manage myself.."
Nanny: it's ok, beta, I should take care of you..
Anna: Nanny, I am fine, I went to outside for shopping too and I am not a patient anymore.
(I convinced her because she is suffering to sleep here by leaving her family. I don't have family, at least Nanny can spend some time with her family members.)
Nanny: ok, beta, call me if you need anything else..
Anna: "ok, Nany..."
She left my room, I didn't turn off the light, and I am scared to sleep alone but I should get habituated to live alone and sleep alone.
After a few minutes, I closed my eyes and went to sleep..
I got the same old nightmare that I am falling from the cliff. I just closed my eyes to give up my life but someone holds my hand to pull me up. I opened my eyes, it was blurry; I can't see him clearly. He lifted me above the cliff and I hugged him tightly...
I am happy...
I really feel eternally happy...
I just give him a kiss for saving my life.
I sensed him very softly...
Very soft as a toy, I hold him more tightly and feel secured..
On the next day morning, I slowly opened my eyes, it was around 8 a.m. I want to release my hands..
Wait, I am hugging something..
What..?
I am hugging the teddy bear of 4 feet?
I suddenly got up and checked again and it's a teddy bear of 4 feet lay beside me. It's a Big Big Teddy, and it's in pink in color. I immediately grab it and hugged it tightly and kiss to that..
I love Teddy's a lot...
In my room, there are so many teddies of different sizes, when I saw a Teddy in Angel's hand, I feel like I should have one but I didn't express this to anyone. I looked at Teddy again, it's similar to the same Teddy in Angel's hand but Angel's teddy is small compared to mine.
Mine is a big, big teddy..
Wahoo....!!!
I scream in happiness and hugged it tightly.
Wait, I will keep a name to this Teddy..
Bubloo..
Perfect...
It's my bubluu...
I keep it near to my pillow, and I went to the washroom for freshening up, and today I am done with my bathing myself without Nanny's help. My bruises are better than yesterday. Meanwhile, Mona came to my room..
Mona: Hi, Anna, Good morning.
Anna: Good morning, Mona..
(She checked and dressed up my wound.)
Mona: Excellent Anna, wounds are really healing fast. I will keep small bandages, so, it will help your dress for today's evening party.
Anna: That's ok, Mona, but I am not coming to the party..
Mona: Why?
Anna: I don't want to come, I don't like to attend and I am not worth to attend a party and a costly dress. So, please don't make me force to come.
Mona: Did Mark accepted it?
Anna: I need to inform to him.
(I can see a smirk on Mona's face)
Mona: You both decide about it, and what about your Bruises?
Did you get anything new?
(she asked me with her narrowed eyes.)
Anna: They are better than yesterday and didn't get any new.
(I acted casually.)
Mona: Hey, it's Big Teddy and this exactly looks like Angel's Teddy, right Anna?
But this one is very big...
(I smiled by looking at Mona's excitement.)
Anna: Yes, I don't know who keeps this, I saw this on my bed in the morning, maybe Nanny must have kept it because she didn't sleep with me last night.
Mona: that was great!!!
She is taking good care..
Ok then, Let's meet you at the party..
Bye...
Anna: I told you I am not coming.
(Mona looked at me with a smile on her face.)
Mona: You don't know about Mark, if he thinks to happen, he will make it to happen...
either one way or the other...
Anna: what do you mean..?
Mona: see you at the party, ok?
Anna: ok then let's see...
Mona: ok bye
Anna: bye...
then I think to myself why he wants me to come to the party..?
