High School: Way to Forever
Chapter 142: Never Ending questions of Mother!

Anna was no less than everyone. She had an excellent listening ability which she inherited from her late maternal grandmother.

The sounds made makes it even easier for her to recognize that someone is following her.

People inside at first looked slightly nervous.

Though the reason was unknown to her but just looking at their face, she can tell that they were quite shocked that she came back and asked them so straightforwardly!

Anna knew there is nothing in not asking. It was better to ask them first, though Anna can see that they did not want to harm her.

But maybe they also knew hiding won't work.

They looked at each other's faces and then one of them answered Anna, "Chris Sir has sent us."

Hearing this, Anna wanted to kill each one of them but it was not their fault. That guy is an overbearing personality!

They were just following what was ordered to do. But who will tell them that she bears more and more hatred for their leader?

"Can you drop me at my house?"

If he wants to send people for her security than why not use it? At least she will reach home safely and early too. As it was already pretty much dark, she knew walking up to her house will not result in much.

"Sure, Ma'am. Please Come In."

They answered while respectfully opening the door and she entered inside the car. They drove super fast and in one an half hours, she was already home.

Anna was standing in front of her house and then turned around and faced the men sent for her, "It will be better for you all to go! If your boss asks why then say I asked you all to go back." Saying this, she went inside.

She did not want them to interfere with her freedom. Though this freedom was not exactly hers still, she did not want it to happen.

Anna knew that her mother is going to be angry this time. She had said that she will come just in a few hours but here, she is coming in the night.

Anna slowly opened the door and removed her shoe and wore home sleepers. Without even thinking about anything else, Anna made her way to her room. But maybe Mother Marrie already got to know that she is back because Anna then heard her mother's voice from the back, "Where were you this late?"

'Am I such a bad liar? So many people escape the house and come back late in the night but why I'm always caught!?!' Anna thought and compared herself to all those people who do this.

She came early too, not much late but it was already dark though. But a mother will always be a mother.

Anna turned around and met Mother Marrie's sharp and questionable face. Well, she surely has to face this!

"Mum... I went somewhere for some important work." Anna did not know what to answer.

"Somewhere important? This late!? May I know which important place was this that required your presence there?" Mother Marrie's teasing tone can be heard clearly.

She was clearly taunting to Anna! But Anna knew she made a mistake this time. At least she should have informed her mother about her going to her brother's grave.

"I.. went to my brother's grave." Anna finally confessed half-truth. She did not want to lie and somewhere Anna knew, the mother won't be angry about this, right? They never visit him so she can only go there alone. Just the difference was she went all alone and that too in the evening when it was going to be dark...

Mother Marrie was a little surprised to hear that. It has been so long that they went there. Her eyes turned a little warm but not her words.

"Was there a need to visit your brother this late?" Well, her questions were never-ending and Anna was now cursing her own stupidity right now!

How she thought her mother will understand what she meant but no, her questions never finish!

"I Just felt meeting him..."Anna said in a slow voice but it was audible to Mother Marrie.

She understood that Anna wanted to talk with Seb in alone and it was their sibling's talk. After Seb's death, Anna rarely tells someone what she is feeling so maybe this was jer way to getting out everything from her heart?

"Go to your room. I will bring your dinner there only!" Anna nodded too and lowering her face, she directly went into her room.

When Anna shut her door behind herself, Anna felt relieved. At least her mother's question era was now finished!

Anna earlier had felt so bad for lying to her mother just because of her father! She said to him that she will not hide it from her mother but the reality was that she can't tell her mother at any cost.

Her mother will block her father and what she wants at the end will not be achieved.

Anna sat on her study table and took out her phone. She had a lot about what her father had said. Yes, somewhere he was right about this.

She needs to learn everything about fighting so that in the future, she can protect herself and her family from their enemies! Her enemies are not less in this lifetime. All she wished was to go out of here but that was not possible.

Anna dialed her father's number. "Hello?" Anna heard her father's voice from the other side. She gained her courage from somewhere and said,

"Father, I'm ready to start the training. But remember, I have papers too." She can't miss or take the risk with her studies. No matter if she is a topper or good in studies, her marks matter a lot to her mother.

"Hmm, okay! We will start training from tomorrow."

WHAT!?! FROM TOMORROW?!
