Anna's POV:
After he asked that am I hurt, I feel like I want to share with him my terrible memory in my past life which leads me to scare about needles. So I broke the silence and started to share my bad memory by looking at the pond.
Anna: When I was three years old, my father died, he is an Army general, and I hardly remember him. Later, my mom took the responsibility to raise me up. We don't have sufficient money to have food but my mom, she never let me know about that, but I remember those days, she feeds me with the leftover food and sleeps without having food.
(Tears started to roll down from my eyes when I am visualizing that bad past. I take a deep sobbing, but still staring at the pond and continued to tell my story.)
Anna: Later she joined me in the hostel when I turned to 5 years, where they will accommodate food and education for free. I feel alone in the hostel; I don't know why mom left me; I thought she would come in the evening and take me with her to my home, but she didn't come, it's been two days she didn't come yet.
(Tears are overflowing from my eyes.)
On the 3rd day night, after I slept, one hand makes me wake up. I can't recognize him in the darkroom. There is no light in that hall where I slept; Eleven more children are sleeping in the same hall
Then He.. Hhhheee
(I stammer a bit and take deep sobbing. I feel a hand wrapped on my shoulder to console me. I know it's Mark, I feel safe and secured, even though he teased me, I don't know why I feel secure under his presence. Now I got a little strength to tell him what happened.)
Anna: He makes me to sit on his lap. I was in a nightdress with a pant and shirt; it's a night uniform in that hostel. He closed my mouth with one of his hands, and with his other hand, he touches my thighs under my pants. He makes me move forward and backwards. He just makes me to move me on his lap.. (I paused and took a long breath and continued.)
Near his penis..
The room was dark, and I don't know what's happening, and I don't know what he is doing...
After 10 minutes of moving, he pinches me with the needle; I just get scared and shocked when I get the sense of the needle bite on me in the darkroom...
He laughed at me when he has pinched me with the needle; I can sense wet on my pant...
He left me there and warned me to don't say to anyone; otherwise, if I do so, he threatened me that he would kill my mom...
He also said he killed my dad..
I got scared that he will really kill my mom, too..
So, I do whatever he says for the next four days.
(I take a deep sobbing, I can't control my tears.)
Anna: He used me, Mark...
He comes at midnight, he wakes me up, and he keeps me on his lap, and he moved me front and back. In the middle, he enjoyed by pinching me with a needle.
Later, I found him; he's my hostel warden. His age is around 30's. After he went, I changed to other pants and prayed to God that he should not kill my mom...
After a week, my mom came to visit me, she bought chocolates, cakes, etc..
I feel happy that she is alive and that demon didn't kill my mom because I am listening to him, But when she saw me, she identified my dark circles around my eyes...
She is about to ask me something; but I hugged her and started crying, she is trying to console me by saying that she will visit on every Sunday.
Later she observed the needle bites on my hand, and she asked me what happened. I tried to hide them because if I say anything to her, he will kill my mom...
Then my mom took me closer to her and requested me to tell everything..
Then I told her everything, and she understands what I mean, and she hugged me tightly and started crying by holding me. I don't know why she is crying. When I got a young age, I understand its a child abuse..
(I take a deep sobbing, and he is just tapping on my back to make me calm down.)
Anna: From that day, I got scared of darkness and deadly scared of needles...
(I continued my sobbing)..
Anna: Later, my mom had changed my school to girls' school, and madams will handle everything, she inquired about everything by taking one month's time, later she joined me in that girls' school..
At the first night at the hostel of the new school, I am scared again by looking at the darkroom. I sat on the bed corner and started crying; there are four girls in my room..
One girl in the room went and switch on the study light...
I feel safe when I looked at the lamp; she sat next to me and held my hand and said, "Don't get scared. I will be with you..."
I get relief when I hold her, and she said she is in my classmate.
I asked her "what's your name"?
She said, "Ria.."
(I take a deep sobbing, and increased my crying by visualizing Rias and my first meet; Mark came close to me, with his hand he pushes me towards his chest and tapping on my back. I hold his shirt with one of my hands and hide my face on his chest, and I started crying.)
Anna: Ria is my first friend, she said she would take care of me but why she left me alone, Mark?
Why she again through me in that nightmare?
(I said in between my crying.)
Mark pov:
Tears are rolling down from my eyes after I listened to Anna. I just grab her to my chest and make my grip tight on her waist that she is safe with me..
I raise her face with my left hand to look at me, she closed her eyes, and her face is full of wet with tears, her face becomes red, and her eyes are swollen more..
I raise her head a little more and bend forward and kissed her on her forehead..
She opened her eyes and looked at me with her shocked expression.
Mark: "You will be safe with me, and I will be with you."
Tears roll down from my eyes when I made a promise to her.
