"No! A wedding will happen as it is planned. I'm recovering at a speedy rate. So, I will attend the wedding."Anna was determined. She knew how much her uncle and aunt want their marriage to happen.
"But Anna, in this state you ca-"
"Don't worry. I will be fine. The wedding is next week, not this week. So it will be fine."
Everyone nodded. No one can change Anna's mind once she has decided what she wants.
The ward was filled with laughter. Only Liam's face was gloomy.
But all ignored him.
...
Few days passed and Anna mostly recovered. She was also discharged from the hospital.
But she was not allowed to leave the house till Addie's marriage.
Anna invited Reyan, Alena, and Alex. Alex was now also bonding with Alena and Reyan. Reyan now felt that Alex was a nice guy when someone understands him.
Alena and Reyan, both felt that Alex and Anna have feelings for one another but are still quiet. They don't know the reason but Alena decided to talk to Anna about this.
"Anna, I wanted to ask you about something."
Anna looked at her and nodded. "I'm listening."
Alena first took deep breaths. "You have feelings for Alex. Then why are you not saying him anything? He also has but he isn't saying anything too. Why?"
Alena was confused about why they both are not sharing and saying things to each other. They both can be in a relationship!
Anna was doing her nails but her hand stopped in middle after hearing what Alena said.
Anna was stopping herself because of one of the reasons, which is known to only her family members! She already made a mistake once and this resulted in someone's death. How can she do the same?
"Anna??"
She came back from her imagination when Alena touched her shoulders.
"I can't come in any relationship Alena. I'm forbidden to love someone. But I have done it! But I can't cross more lines by coming in a relationship." Anna explained with a low voice.
"Give it a try, Anna. Maybe you will be able to do it!"
Anna didn't reply. In her past, her mistakes led to her brother's death.
For a long period, she used to curse herself. She used to think that, God might have picked her instead of her brother. But with time, she learned that it is God's wish. She overcame the depression period after a long period.
"Anna, what your father does?" Alena suddenly brought this question.
Anna kept quiet for some time. But later she answered, "He has business." was all that she replied.
Anna diverted Alena's mind somewhere else so that she can't ask more about her past.
...
On another side, Reyan and Alex were playing PlayStation.
"Oh. My. God. I LOST AGAIN!!!" Reyan shouted.
"Hehehehe. Now you know, I'm the king of this?"
"Yes Alex SIR!"
Alex started laughing more loudly!
"Alex..."
"Hmm.?"
"You love Anna a lot right?"
