Savior Of Her Heart

Chapter 55: Ch.54/ Happiness Is With You

Alessandro's POV:-

I look at the sleeping face of my wife who is looking so elegant with the first ray of sunlight grazing her face as if it can not get enough of caressing her cheeks in adoration. She is looking exactly like our daughter with her lip jutted out in a pout while she has her hand curl under her chin. I smile to myself thinking about yesterday night when I surprised her with a little celebration on the occasion of her birthday. She was in awe of everything that was happening around us and when I finally wished her, the look on her face was enough to tell me how happy she was feeling.

She has brought light in my dark life in a way that I have never thought was possible. Because I am the type of person who doesn't care for anyone but after meeting her, I have started to look at things differently. She has taught me that not everyone is bad and I need to get past my old self to be better for her. In the past, I used to be cold and distance towards others except someone chosen people. I used to believe that money is all I need in my life so I used to chase every contract to get money. But now, all I care about is my wife and our kids who has become my utmost priority.

I still can't get over the fact how much struggle she has to go through in the past just because of those two women who are blood-related to her. How can they order others not to celebrate Anhuphama's birthday? Not that I am surprised because after learning the things they have done to my innocent wife, it's easy to guess how terrible their thoughts are. But not anymore because now she is in my care and I am not going to let those nasty women do anything wrong with my wife again.

I release a sigh before running my fingers through her hair making her snuggle closer to my chest. I wrap my arms around her while softly kissing her on the crown of her head. I carefully get up from the bed after putting a pillow in my place because I don't want her to get up so early. I get inside the washroom before making my way out of the bedroom towards the kitchen where I know the chef is cooking breakfast. When I reach there, the cook and his helper bow their heads in my direction before retrieving back to their work.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Sir, is there something specific you want me to cook for breakfast?" The chef asks after I done drinking some water.

"What are you making?" I ask.

"I am preparing pancakes and scrambled eggs." He replies making me humm. But then I remember something so I take out my phone from my pants pocket before searching for something.

"Can you make this for my wife?" I ask after showing him the picture along with the name of the dish.

"Of course, Sir. Just give me some time and the dish will be ready." He replies while asking his helper for some ingredients. I leave the kitchen before going towards the bedroom to see if my beautiful wife has woken up or not.

Upon arriving I see that Anhuphama is not in the bed and there is some sound coming from the washroom. So, I rush towards the washroom to see that Anhuphama is throwing up so I get near her before rubbing her back gently. After she is done throwing up she brushes her teeth and splash some cold water on her face. While she wipes her face with a towel, I comb her hair before tying it with a silk rubber band.

"Are you feeling okay?" I ask her.

"I am alright. It's normal to throw up during the first phase of pregnancy." She replies while turning to look at me. I kiss her on the forehead before hugging her gently.

"Come on, let's have breakfast." I tell her and usher her to the kitchen where the cook put a plate full of the fish I have asked him to make.

"Uttapam!" My wife's eyes widen before a huge smile breaks out on her face.

"Yes, ma'am. Sir has asked me to make this Indian dish for you and I hope you will like it." The chef replies with a smile.

"Thank you so much. It's looking so good that my mouth is watering just by seeing it." Anhuphama replies kindly making me smile because of how gentle she behaves with everyone.

"Aren't you going to eat, Alessandro?" She asks looking back at me.

"Hmm, I will. Because we need to go back or we will be late." I reply while taking a bite of the delicious dish.

"Why will I be late?" She asks.

"That's another surprise for you." I reply with a wink.

"Seriously, I am not going to ask you anything about your surprises." She lets out while shaking her head making the staff around us laugh.

Anupama's POV:-

After eating the delicious uttapam I go into the bedroom to get ready. But to my surprise, I find a beautiful floral long Kurti on the bed along with a note. I pick up the note and smile reading the lines.

"I know how much you love to wear traditional clothes so here is a little gift from me. Now wear it and come outside.

From- Hubby"

I pick up the Kurti in my hand before going inside the washroom to get ready. I look at the mirror for the last time feeling satisfied with my look. So, I leave the bedroom to go in search of my husband. On my

way, one of the staff inform me that Alessandro is waiting for me on the deck.

When I reach the deck I notice that he is not there so I get scared but then I see that he is swimming in the sea. His back is facing me so I guess he hasn't seen me yet. I stare at his back flexing muscle feeling tingly all over my body.

I try to look at another way because this man is turning me into a horny person not even doing anything. But then I realize that it's futile to avoid looking at him when I love to be in his arms all the time. So, I call out his name to get his attention. However, soon I realize how bad the idea is because when he turns around and my eyes fall on his rippling abs my throat gets dry.

Is he trying to kill me by looking like that? Does he not know how his presence affects me?

"You are looking great, Cara." He compliments me after climbing on the deck.

"Tha-n-k you." I reply with a stutter while biting my lip.

"Why are you stuttering? Are you not feeling well?" He asks as if he doesn't know what he is doing to me.

"I am okay. Why don't you go and get ready?" I ask smiling at him.

"Okay then wait for me. I will be back in some minutes." He replies before leaving me alone on the deck and I take a deep breath to calm down my hormones. I come downstairs and wait for him to get here because Dadabhai has called to inform me that Advira is constantly asking about me.

"Let's go, Cara." Alessandro says coming out of the bedroom looking handsome as ever. I smile at him and we make our way out of there. The yacht is already in the seashore so it's not a big hassle to get out of it.

I am not surprised when I notice that his car is already on the beach along with some of the guards who bow their heads to seeing us. I don't like it when they do this but after telling them not to bow down in front of me, they never listen to me. After getting inside the car, he starts driving towards the mansion.

But when we reach there I notice that the outside is decorated. I look at Alessandro in confusion but he only smiles at me. My confusion more arises when the gate opens and everywhere is decorated like something important is happening in here. When the car stops, I get out of it while looking around in amazement.

Suddenly the front door open and Advira comes running towards me alone with her brothers who has cute bows around their necks. I kneel down and open my arms for them because it's very long since I have seen my babies. I kiss the dogs before running my hands on their fur. Then I pick up Advira in my arms who gives me a toothy smile and wraps her little arms around my neck.

"Is the surprise ready, princess?" Alessandro asks standing beside me.

"Yesh, let go mum-mum. Me in hurry." Our daughter replies eagerly.

"What are you guys talking about?" I ask but none of them reply. Instead, they take me inside up to the backyard where everyone from our family, friends and companies are there. When they notice us, specifically me all of them shout "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" together making my eyes water. I bit my lip to control my tears before smiling at all of them.

"Happy Bawrday mum-mum." Advira wishes me before kissing me on the cheek.

"Thank you so much, baby." I reply.

"Happy Birthday, dolcezza." Mama Melody says coming towards me. I put Advira down before hugging Mama Melody.

"Thank you so much for the surprise." I reply after pulling away from the hug.

"Stop thanking us for little things. Now, come on there are so many people I want you to meet." She replies before ushering me to meet some of her friends. Everyone wishes me on my birthday and soon enough I am surrounding by Dadabhai, Jasmine di, Marco, Uncle Gabriel, Bianca, Liam, Samuel and Olivia who give me a lot of gifts much to my dismay.

I have never known that I can be happy on my birthday but now looking at the people around me, I can say that there is nothing impossible. I look at my husband who is holding our daughter in his arms while he chats with Marco and Samuel. I look at Mama Melody who has taken me under her wings the moment I have set my foot in this house like a mother hen. I look at Jasmine di who has always look out for me as an elder sister. I look at Bianca and Olivia who have become the best friends I never knew I needed in my life.

"This is such a happy day and here you are shedding tears." Dadabhai says coming to stand beside me. I wipe my tears before looking at the man in front of me who is nothing less than a father to me. I hug him tightly surprising him, but he hugs me back in no time.

"What's wrong, Anu? Is everything okay?" He asks worriedly.

"I am so happy, dadabhai. I am just so happy." I reply with a sniffle.

"Then you shouldn't be crying. You should be smiling if you are happy." He lets out before pulling away from the hug.

"I have tried to control my tears but seeing everything around me, I can not believe that my birthday is being celebrated for the first time ever. What have I done to deserve so much happiness, dadabhai?" I ask.

"You deserve more than anyone else, Anu. After the pain, the humiliation you were forced to face in Kolkata by our grandmother and my mother, I will say that God has finally look upon you because I can see the happiness in your eyes after so many years." He replies with a smile.

"You know when Alessandro wished me yesterday, I got shocked at first. But then he told me that he would celebrate my every birthday from now." I answer looking at my husband who is now playing with Boomer and Fonsie.

"And I have my faith that he will fulfill his promise. We were going to celebrate your birthday yesterday but then he informed us that he had planned something for you. So, we have decided to celebrate it today with everyone." Dadabhai says making me smile.

"By the way, did you hear from Riya recently? I have tried to call her but I am not able to reach her." I let out.

"Nope, because the last time I talk to her after Alessandro brought you home safely. For some reason, she doesn't pick up my call." He replies.

"The same is happening with me too. Now, I am worried about her because I am sure that she is not happy with the arrange marriage." I confide.

"Anu, I am thinking about going to India to meet her. Because of whatever happened in the past, I can not forget the reality that she is my little sister and I have seen a positive change in her. So, I want to try for one last time to change her mind." He informs me.

"I think that will be the best to do." I reply.

******

Mama Melody has made a cake for my birthday so I cut the cake while everyone around me clap their hands. First I feed Advira a little who is eagerly waiting for the cake. After that, I feed Alessandro and Mama Melody.

"Now that the cake is cut, I want my lovely wife to sing something for us." Alessandro says surprising me.

"I don't know any English song and also I haven't sung for so long." I reply with panic.

"Calm down Tesoro. I didn't tell you to sing an English song, I had just told you to sing something. Please just for me, please." He pleads making me roll my eyes. He grins at me before asking Marco to bring the guitar. Bianca takes my hand and makes me sit in a chair petting my shoulder while giving me a thumbs up. Soon Marco comes with my guitar and put it in my lap with a wink.

"Best of luck." He says before walking towards Uncle Gabriel who gives me an assuring smile.

"Love you, Cara," Alessandro whispers in my ear making me smile. I try to think of a song which I want to sing, but nothing is coming to my mind. So, I close my eyes and start running my fingers over the strings of the guitar. I open my eyes when the perfect song comes to my mind and I start to sing looking at my husband.

Tu nazm nazm sa mere

Honthoe pe thehar jaa

Main khwab khwab se teri

Aankhoe mein jaagu re.

(You stay on my lips

Like a poem

I'll remain awake in your

Eyes like a dream)

Tu ishq ishq sa mere

Rooh mein aake bas ja

Jis aur teri shehnaai

Uss or mein bhagure

(You come and reside in

My soul like love

I run in the direction

Where your music plays)

Haath thaam le piya

Karte hein vaada

Ab se tu aarzu

Tu hi hein irada

(Beloved, let's hold hands

And make a promise

From now on you're

My wish and my intention)

Mera naam le piya

Main teri rubaai

Teri hi to piche piche

Barsaat ayi, barsaat ayi

(Beloved, take my name as

I am your poem

The rain keep following you)

Tu ittr ittr sa mere

Saansoe mein bikhar ja

Main faqeer tere qurbat ka

Tujhse tu mangu re

(You scatter in my breaths

Like fragrance

Like a beggar who desires you

I ask you from yourself)

I complete singing the song and everyone around me clap their hands with big smiles on their faces. Alessandro comes towards me with a proud look in his making my heart flutter in enjoyment.

"You are incredible my love. I don't understand the meaning of the song but by seeing your expression, I can guess that you have enjoyed singing the song and that's enough for me." He confesses while cupping my face with his palms. He pecks my lip making me smile.

"Thank you for believing in me." I reply shyly.

"Wow, Anu. You sing like a professional singer." Bianca compliments after coming towards us with a beaming smile.

"I really didn't think that you have such a great talent hidden inside you." Uncle Gabriel says from the side.

"Uncle, Anupama has many talents that she was not able to reveal before. But I am sure that she will not hold back anymore, right?" Jasmine di asks making me look at her.

"Yes, di. I am not going to stop singing. Nor I will stop to do what my heart desires." I reply confidently.

One & half months later

Today we are going for my three months pregnancy check up to see if the baby is growing healthy or not. Jasmine di was my doctor but after finding out about her own pregnancy, Dadabhai has forbidden her to work anymore in the hospital. I can understand his overprotectiveness because Alessandro is no better than him.

After getting ready for the check-up, I ask the driver to drop in Alessandro's company because he has some important meeting to attend so he has left early in the morning. Soon, the car stops in front of the company and I get out before making my way towards the building. The receptionist welcomes me with a smile in which I smile back in response. I get inside the elevator before pressing the number of the floor I want to go. After getting out of the elevator I knock on Alessandro's cabin getting a 'come in' in reply. So, I open the door to see that he is talking to some of his employees. Upon seeing me, his face lits up and he orders them to leave us alone.

"What a pleasant surprise, Cara. I didn't know that you are coming here to meet me." He says getting up from his seat before engulfing me in his arms. But I push him away with a glare.

"What?" He asks confusingly.

"How can you forget about today?" I accuse.

"What is so important about today?" He asks making me angrier so I turn around and start to walk out of the cabin.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Bianchi. Where do you think you are going?" He asks wrapping his arms around me from behind stopping me from going.

"I don't want to talk to you. So leave me alone and go do work important work." I reply while struggling in his arms.

"Stop wiggling, Cara, or we will be late for the doctor's appointment." He whispers in my ear before nuzzling in my neck making me shiver.

"Then why did you lie?" I ask turning to look at him.

"Because I wanted to see your adorable glare. You know your and our daughter's angry face only makes me want to squish both of your cheeks." He replies while pinching my cheeks making me giggle.

"Now, let's go." He says and we make our way out of his cabin with his hand wrap around my waist.

"Are you guys going somewhere?" Bianca asks coming out of her cabin.

"Hmm, today I have a doctor's appointment so we are going there." I response.

"That's great to know. Don't forget to inform me about how the appointment went." She replies with a genuine smile.

"Of course, I will." I answer before we bid her goodbye.

When we reach the hospital, the nurse tells us that the doctor is waiting for us in her cabin. So we get inside and she starts to ask me some important questions regarding the pregnancy. After that the doctor asks me to lie down on the examination table so I do that. The doctor spreads some cold gel over my lower abdomen before running the wand all over it. Alessandro holds my hand in his and asks the doctor about our little bean.

"Everything is looking good with your baby, Mr. Bianchi and the overall growth is exactly the way it should be. Do you guys want to hear your baby's heartbeat?" The doctor asks in which we eagerly nod our heads. She types something on the ultrasound machine before the sound of heartbeat echo around the room making my eyes water. I look at Alessandro and see that his eyes are also watery. He squeezes my hand while kissing the top of my head.

After the check-up, we leave the hospital with bright smiles on our faces. He drops me at home after promising me that he will come back soon. But much to my surprise, I find Marco pacing back and forth

in the living room. When he notices me he comes near me with a depressed look making me worried thinking that something is not right with Mama Melody or Uncle Gabriel.

"Thank God you have come back, Anupama. I was waiting for you." He says in a desperate tone.

"Why? Is everything alright at home?" I ask referring to his parents.

"Everything is alright at home, but not in Kolkata." He replies making me confuse.

"What's happening in Kolkata?" I ask.

"Riya is getting married." He says and I roll my eyes before sitting down on the couch because my feet are hurting.

"I know that," I answer.

"Then why aren't you doing anything to stop it?" He asks as if I have done something ridiculous.

"Riya is adult enough to know what's good for her. So, if she thinks that she is ready to get married then that's completely up to her." I reply folding my hands in front of my chest giving him a bored look.

"How can you say that, Anupama? She is your sister so you should tell her that whatever she is doing is wrong." He exclaims.

"You don't need to remind me that she is my sister, Marco. And why are you so worried about her marriage? It's not like you have anything to do with her." I retort rudely because I have heard from Mama Melody about Marco's one-night stands.

"Look, I know I have done wrong with her and for that, I am extremely sorry. But I don't want her to destroy her life just to take revenge from me." He says looking lost and for a second I feel bad for him.

But then I recall the defeated face of Riya who went out of here after whatever happened between her and Marco.

"If you care so much about her well-being then why don't you go there and stop her from getting married?" I ask and walk away from there without waiting for any answer.
