14 Mark is substitute for lizard..

Anna's POV:

I wake up at 7.30 a.m. in the morning; I feel soreness in my body, maybe because of the overload of medicines I am taking. I went to the washroom to get freshen up; the moment I entered the restroom, I find everything new, i.e., new brush, soap shampoo, whatnot everything, and all of them are top brands, and they are very expensive that a middle-class family can't afford it.

I came out of the washroom to confirm from Nanny that am I supposed to use those new products arranged in the restroom. She said she arranged them for me...

Actually, I want to take a bath, but my wound dressing may get wet, so it's better I should pour water below my chest, and I will clean my shoulder with a wet towel. I immediately tied my hair into a bun and asked Nanny for the clothes; she handed over me a cover...

I am shocked when I looked in it; there are new clothes in the cover where I find ten pairs of long, loose t-shirts with matching shorts, similar to the last nightdress and panties of my size and I searched the cover for bras, but I didn't find any.

Anna: Nanny, did you buy these new clothes for me?

(Nanny looked at me with her brief smile.)

Anna: Why did you spend lots of money on my clothes, Nanny?

I can manage with two pairs of outfit...

Nanny: It's not me who bought all these, beta...

It's Mark sir, and he just handed over to me these covers at 5 a.m. in the morning..

Anna: 5 a.m.?

Did he wake up at 5 a.m.?

Nanny: Yes, beta, he usually wakes up between 5 to 6 a.m. and starts his work out for one and a half hours.

(While listening to Nanny, I once again checked the covers for my bra, but I didn't find any.)

Anna: Nanny, I didn't find any bras init, can you please arrange them?

Nanny: Sorry, beta, Doctor strictly warned me not to let you wear a bra; if I help you with your undergarments, sir may get angry with me.

Anna: What?

(Why the hell he will get angry..?

I got a flash of our conversation last night, and he really embarrassed me by talking about my undergarments. I got shrills when I am visualizing him; it's better I should not think about him.)

Anna: Ok, Nanny, I am going to take the bath.

Nanny: I will help you, beta...

Anna: It's ok, Nany, I can manage myself...

Nanny: How can you manage when you have wounds everywhere on your body?

Anna: Actually, I feel shy if someone saw me nude; so, please try to understand me, Nanny...

Nany: don't feel shy, beta; I am like your mom and do you know after your treatment, I am the one who dressed you, so don't feel shy...

(I have no other way to escape from Nanny, so I kill my shyness and accept to take Nanny's help to finish my bath. After I am done my bath with the help of Nanny, I put on the pink t-shirt and black shorts. I didn't observe before that the t-shirt includes the padding bra, which is attached to the T-shirt. So the T-shirt doesn't look odd on me, and it feels comfortable..

Nanny looked at me and complimented me that I look pretty in this t-shirt...

I get ready by combing my semi curly hair; meanwhile, Nanny asked me that she should bring the breakfast to this room or am I comfortable to have my breakfast at the dining table.

The moment I heard about breakfast, my starving increased; it's been two days that I have a portion of proper food, and I don't like to eat the food in the bedroom, and I don't want to use maidens for my personal work, So I told Nanny that I feel comfortable to have my breakfast at the dining table and I followed her.

It's a long dining table, and I sat in the chair where I can see the kitchen in front of me and the stairs (duplex house) on my back to reach all the bedrooms.

I can see a few more maids who are hurried in their work. I looked around to check the entire house in one turn and realize Mark is the only person who is living in this big mansion, and there are so many maids who are working under him to maintain this mansion.

The moment I looked at this mansion, I got flashes of Ria that we both usually have lunch here on Sundays. Mark is always busy with his parties or girlfriends or office work, whatever it is. I don't know the exact reason Why I didn't meet him. I just saw him twice or thrice when he is going outside or coming inside into his house. So, the entire house is ours, and we play a lot; we play pillow fight, Video games, Basketball, and many 

Sometimes we dance..!!!

Tears filled my eyes when I am thinking about memories of Ria because she is no more in my life, but the memories I have with her will always stay with me.

I wipe my tears to not let anyone notice it because Nanny is taking excellent care of me, and she may feel sad if she notices my tears,

Meanwhile, Nanny entered the dining hall with six sandwiches in a trey, I just want to eat all of them in one shot, and my food craving increased more when I smell the cheese; it's really tempting me so much. In between my thoughts, she served me two sandwiches...

I take the first bite and close my eyes to enjoy the taste; it's really yummy...

I just moan "mmmmmmmm" and I want to give compliment to Nanny so I said "Nany, it's delicious" and I open my eyes, and immediately take the 2nd bite and raised my head to check on Nanny...

I am dead!!!

Suddenly hiccups started the moment I looked at MARK...!!!

Yes, It's Mark, who sat before me and staring at me awkwardly. I feel embarrassed about my actions of eating sandwiches before him.

Why the hell this happened to me?

I tried to take the 3rd bite, but my hiccups disturbed me to take the bite.

Mark: "Have some water; your sandwich won't run away."

(He said with his arrogant tone.

Suddenly my hiccups stopped after I listened to his words, maybe because I am scared of him...

Yes, my mom usually says that hiccups will stop when we are scared of something, and she always pranks a lizard trick on me to control my hiccups. Actually, I am deadly scared of lizards, so she suddenly screams that a lizard is crawling on my shoulder; that's it, I will get up and dance, and my hiccups will automatically stop.

Now my substitute for lizard is Marks's voice.

No, no, the substitute for lizard is Mark. I feel funny when I imagine his face with lizard features.

Yeah, he always scolds me when I call him by his name, so from today, his pet name is a lizard...

How funny it is..!!!

I just laugh and forget that Mark is still staring at me, weirdly.

Mark: "What makes you laugh?

I just told you to drink some water; what's funny in that?"

Anna: "Yeah! I am fine."

I silently have another bite of sandwich. Meanwhile, he ate two sandwiches and drank some fresh orange juice and went towards his room..

I finished my two sandwiches, and Nanny offered me another two sandwiches and served on my plate; I pretend I don't want to eat, but I still feel starving. So without argument, I have extra sandwiches too...

Meanwhile, a woman enters into the hall, she was well dressed and looked blessed with her charming face, and I feel like she might be my good friend in the future.

When I was staring at her, she came near to me and wished me, "Hi Anna, How are you?"

Anna: Feel better...

(I immediately stare at Nanny that who is she, and she knows my name too...

Nanny introduces that she is Doctor Mona, who takes care of me last night. I immediately stand to show my respect and gratitude to her. She came to me and placed her hand on my shoulder and said, "No, formalities, Anna...!!!

Feel free..!

Are you ready to dress up your wound?"

Anna: "sure, Doctor, I will follow you to the bedroom."

Dr. Mona: "Anna, I already told you no formalities between us, and you can call me Mona, it feels comfortable, Ok?"

Anna: ok...

(We both went to my bedroom to dress my wound. Nanny also come along with us to help Dr. Mona. I sat on my bed, Nanny closes the door and allows Mona...

First, she cleaned my wrist wound with hydrogen peroxide. It hurts a lot; tears filled my eyes, but I am trying not to let out my tears. Nanny came near to me to console me; I hold Nanny's hand with my other hand..

After that, she cleaned my neck wound, it also hurts a bit, but I can bear the pain...

Dr. Mona: Can you please remove your shirt?

Anna: I feel shy, Mona. Can you manage if I flip my shoulder sleeve to down?

(I moved my shirt down towards my hand; it's clear coverage of my wound. Mona smiled by looking for my actions and accepted to give treatment. She takes another cotton ball, and pours the hydrogen peroxide and spirit, and started cleaning my wound.

I suddenly scream loudly because I can't bear this pain, and tears started to roll down from my eyes, but Mona didn't disturb by my screams, and she continued her work by cleaning my wound and pack the wound with cotton pads...

I looked at Mona; she's taking injections..

Anna: Mona, is that injectable for me?

Dr. Mona: Yes, dear...

(I stood and started moving little by little towards the door; Mona is busy with filling the injections with medicine and looked at me and understands that I am scared of injections

Mona: "Are you scared of injections?"

Anna: I am deadly scared of needles, Mona

Please, Mona, can you give me a tablet instead of an injection?

Dr. Mona: sorry, dear...

It's an antibiotic, and I need to give this to you, and it will heal your wound soon...

(By saying that, she started moving towards me)

Anna: Please, Mona, I will eat ten more tablets instead of this injection...

(by saying that, I am moving backward towards the door..)

Mona: It won't hurt, Anna...

Anna: please, please.. I will do anything..

(I handle the doorknob)..

Mona: Don't dare to escape from me, Anna. I treat so many patients like you..

(She is just coming close to me by holding injection.)

Anna: Nanny, please help me..

Please say to Mona, no needles...

Nanny: Anna beta, it won't hurt..

Let's cooperate with the Doctor.

(Both of them are coming near me. I opened the knob to escape, and I entered outside suddenly, my head hit something.)
