Chapter 54: Ch.53/ The Date
Anupama's POV:-
"I am not sure if we should sign the deal or not. Let me review the reports one more time and then I will let you know my
decision." I reply over the phone before cutting the call to finish writing some notes. My online exams are in two weeks so I don't
have much time left to study.
After two hours of studying, I have started to feel tired so I decide to take some rest. I get up from the chair before arranging my
books on the table and leave the room to go to the garden for some fresh air. However, when I reach the garden my eyes widen
seeing Advira riding on the back of a little horse or I should say pony. But much to my surprise, she has a bright smile on her
face while asking Samuel to go fast who is guiding her. I walk hurriedly towards them and stop when I finally reach near them.
Upon seeing me, my baby's smile broaden more making me smile too.
"See mum-mum. Me ride horsie." Advira says excitedly.
"I can see that baby. But aren't you afraid of height? What if you fall?" I ask while fixing the hat correctly on her head.
"Me no scwared. Untle Sam teach me." She replies cutely.
"She is correct Mrs. Bianchi. I am here with her so you don't have to worry about her getting hurt." Samuel says from the side
with an assuring smile.
"I know I don't need to worry when you are here to protect her. It's just that I easily get scared nowadays after what happened in
the past few days. So, I hope you don't feel offended by my constant worry." I let out.
"I am not a bit offended because I know how much trauma you had to face for some days. But I can assure you that nothing will
go downhill from now on. You know, I have never seen Boss so angry before. It like I am seeing a new side of him, and I am
happy to say that this side suits him better. Because now, he is not the merciless business tycoon anymore. He has become a
dutiful husband and a doting father who can go to any extent to protect the one he loves." He says with a satisfying look as if a
big pressure has left his shoulder.
"I don't know what I have done to deserve a person like Alessandro. Because from childhood, I have heard that I am not going to
have a happy life as I am a disappointment. But after marrying Alessandro, I have gotten the love and care I have been longing
for all my life. So, I am the most luckiest person in the world to get him as my husband and I am proud to say that my husband is
so protective of us." I reply with a smile.
After some more talking I bid goodbye to Samuel and Advira before starting to water the newly planted flower plants. My phone
starts ringing so I put the water sprayer down before retrieving the phone from my trousers pocket to see that Olivia is the one
who is calling me.
"Hello, Oli. How are you doing?" I ask after picking up the call.
"I don't have time for chit-chat with you. So, quickly get ready and meet me in my salon in half an hour." She replies and cuts the
call. I look at the phone in confusion because I am not sure if she is in hurry or she is angry with me. But what I know that I need
to get ready or only God knows what that girl will do.
I ask the gardener to water the remaining plants and go inside the mansion to get ready. It only takes ten minutes for me to get
ready before I inform Jasmine di about my visit to Olivia's salon. She has been home for some days because of the pregnancy
so I am not worried about leaving Advira alone.
After that, I ask the driver to take me to Olivia's salon and send a text to Alessandro to inform him where I am going. He has
been quite busy with some projects so I am not able to spend much time with him for some days. But I am not complaining
because work is also important and he has already neglected his work for me.
Soon the car stops in front of the salon so I get out and ask the driver to go home. I get inside the salon to see that there is no
client in there, only the staffs are available along with Olivia who is grinning from ear to ear after seeing me. She gives me a big
hug before making me sit down in a chair and order her staff to start the procedure.
"What's going on, Oli?" I ask looking horrified at the things going around me.
"You just keep your mouth shut and let us do our thing." She replies sternly.
"But-" I don't get to say anything because she puts a chicken wing in my mouth with a glare. I slowly chew the food and try to
relax because I don't want to deal with an angry Olivia. After what seems like a year, they are done with harassing me. Okay, I
know I am exaggerating because they have only pampered me with manicure, pedicure, facial, hair spa, and many more. Olivia
has also put minimum makeup on my face and curl my hair.
"Now, go into the washroom and put on this dress." Olivia orders handing me a pretty dress with matching heels and I do as she
said without asking any question. Because I am sure that she is not going to tell me anything. After putting on the dress and
heels I come out of the washroom.
"Wow." One of the staffs murmur making me feel shy.
"Damn, you are looking so gorgeous Anu." Olivia comments while looking at me with a big smile.
"Thank you, Oli. But can I know why you have gotten me ready?" I ask the question that is roaming in my mind from the start and
I hope that now she will give me a solid answer.
"Hmm, that's a good question. But I think it will be better if you get the answer from the person who has asked me to get you
ready." She replies making me more confused. She asks me to follow her so I go after her. When we reach outside she signals
me to look ahead with a wink. I sigh in annoyance before looking at where she wants me to look but I get surprised seeing
Alessandro in front of us. He is sitting on the driver seat of a vintage style car and giving me an intense look making me blush.
He gets out of the car before walking towards me like a predator making me gulp. Upon reaching near me, he wraps a hand
around my waist and turns towards Olivia who is grinning like a fool.
"Thank you for helping me, Olivia." Alessandro lets out making me look at him with curiosity.
"It's my pleasure to help you and I hope that you will always keep my friend happy." Olivia replies.
"That's what I intend to do." Alessandro replies with a smile.
"Now go before you get late." Olivia says while shooing us with a wink. Alessandro and I bid her goodbye before we walk
towards the car. He opens the door for me and after I get inside he straps the seatbelt around me gently before getting into the
driver seat.
"Where are you taking me, Alessandro?" I ask after he starts driving the car.
"I have arranged a surprise for you Tesoro so I can't tell you where we are going." He replies with a smile. I huff in annoyance
because I really want to know what's going on.
"Don't be angry my love. I am just trying to show you how much I love you. By the way, there is a package in the backseat. Can
you grab that for me?" He asks so I turn around and notice that there is a heart shape box full of red roses, a lot of yummy-
looking vanilla macarons along with a little teddy bear inside it. I look at him with my mouth hanging open while he chuckles
seeing my expression.
"I hope you have liked the first surprise of the day." He says while taking the box from the back seat before handing me the box
with a smile.
"Thank you so much for the gifts, Alessandro." I reply while taking a bite from the macaron.
"You are welcome but don't eat too much sugar or you won't be able to enjoy the dinner." He says making me pout.
"But they are for me." I reply stubbornly.
"I know that very well and also I remember you are craving macarons nowadays. But still, I want you to eat only three and keep
the rest for tomorrow." He answers gently making me understand. So, I only eat three macarons while keeping the rest for
tomorrow. After twenty minutes of driving, he starts to drive to a secluded path before stopping the car in an isolated area.
He gets out of the car first and opens my door before helping me to get out. He puts a blindfold on my eyes and guides me
towards the way he wants to go. Soon, I feel heavy wind hitting my face making me shiver but he pulls me near his chest so that
I don't feel cold. I can hear the sound of water so I think we are somewhere near the beach because of the salty smell coming
from the ocean. Suddenly he stops walking and takes off the blindfold making me open my eyes. But I gasp seeing the
enormous yacht in front of me. I turn to look at him to see that he is already looking at me with a pleased look.
"Alessandro, this is..." I don't know what to say and I think he understands so he gestures me to look at the yacht again which I
do.
"This is your second surprise, Cara. Now, look at the side of the yacht." He lets out so I look closely at where he is indicating. I
put my hand over my mouth seeing what's written in the yacht.
"Anupama." I whisper before turning around and hug him tightly feeling emotional.
"I know that I still can't pronounce your name correctly but I have ordered the interior designer to put the correct spelling of your
name on the yacht." He informs while running his fingers through my hair.
"Why did you put my name on the yacht? And if I am not wrong then this is your yacht. Right?" I asks.
"I have put your name on the yacht because this is your yacht." He replies casually.
"WHAT?" I shout jerking away from him.
"Shh, don't shout my love, and also my men can hear you. They will think that their boss is getting scolded by his wife." He
replies with a pout.
"Alessandro, why did you buy me a yacht? What am I supposed to do with it? It's too much." I exclaim.
"I will do what I want for you and you are not going to stop me. Also, you are a businesswoman and I want you to have the luxury
you deserve as my wife. Now, let's go and get into the yacht because I have more surprises planned for you." He says before
guiding me into the yacht. He introduces me to the captain and other crews of the yacht before giving me a tour of the yacht. I
look at everything with awe because I still can't believe that he has bought this luxurious yacht for me. This man is really hell
bound to spoil me.
Finally, he guides me towards an open area where is a table along with two chairs set up which I can easily guess for our dinner.
The whole area is decorated so beautifully that I am in complete awe because I have never thought that my cold-hearted
husband can have this level of romanticism in him. I look at him with a smile before standing on my tippy toes to kiss him on the
lips to show my commendation for the respect and love he has been showing me. He snakes his arms around my waist and pulls
me towards his hard chest making me fist his coat tightly. I don't know for how long we have kissed but one thing is for sure that I
have gotten addicted to his passionate kisses along with his not so innocent touches.
"God damn Cara. Nothing can be taste as sweet as you." He whispers after breaking the kiss making me blush.
"Stop it, Alessandro. You need to keep some filter in your mouth." I reply not meeting his eyes. He puts his hand under my chin
before lifting my face towards him. I can see the love and adoration shining in his eyes making me feel like I have achieved
everything in the world.
"Don't look away from me, Cara. Because I only want to feel your eyes on me." He lets out while dropping a kiss on my forehead.
I wrap my arms around his neck before putting my head on his shoulder with a sigh.
"Alessandro." I call out.
"Hmmm." He replies.
"I am hungry." I reply making him chuckle.
"Okay then let's eat because I don't want my lovely wife and our little bean to starve." He says after pulling away from the hug.
He takes my hand in his and we walk towards the table before he pulls out a chair for me. I sit down after thanking him. He also
takes a seat across from me and dials some numbers on his phone. Suddenly, I notice that two waiters are coming towards our
table while carrying two trays.
"Here is your dinner, ma'am." One of them says after putting the plates on the table. My mouth water seeing the dishes on the
plates which are currently my favorite food to eat. There are Margherita pizza, Creamy cajun shrimp pasta with tomatoes and
Grilled bruschetta chicken on the plates.
"By seeing your expression I can say that I have chosen perfect things for dinner." Alessandro comments after the waiters leave
our site. I eagerly nod my head before start eating the delicious-looking meal.
"Umm, the chicken is so well cooked." I say aloud after taking a bite of the chicken.
"I am glad to know that." He replies with amusement.
We make small takes during the dinner which consists of him teasing me non-stop and me pouting at him. After finishing the
meals he orders the waiter to bring the dessert which I deny because I am literally full with so much eating.
"Just wait till you see the dessert." He says with a wink making me curious. But when the waiter put a bowl of strawberry ice
cream on the table it only takes me some minutes to finish my current craving ice cream. Of course, I have shared a little with my
amazing husband too because I am not so heartless.
"I don't think I will be able to eat anything else for some days." I comment in which he chuckles.
"Cara, I don't think our little bean will let you keep him hungry for very long." He replies while wrapping an arm around my waist
after we stand up from our places.
"That's correct. I don't remember being this much hungry when I was pregnant with Advira." I answer.
"Mama has told me that every pregnancy is different so I think it's alright that you get hungry so easily." He lets out making me
nod my head.
"Thank you so much for the surprise, Alessandro." I say while looking up at him.
"Anything for you, my love." He says while putting his hand on my stomach with a smile.
"Come, dance with me." He says after some time.
"But there is no music." I reply confusingly. He smirks before taking out a remote out of his coat's pocket and play soothing
music. I shake my head with a giggle and wrap my arms around his neck while he sways us side to side with the slow rhythm of
the music.
"I hope you are liking the date." He says after some time.
"Just being in your presence is enough for me, Alessandro. But today I am feeling like I'm the most pampered person in the
world. Not that I don't feel this way every day because you have filled my life with so much happiness that I can not even
describe it in words. So, thank you so much for loving me." I reply while gazing at his chocolate orbs.
"You are the reason why I have started to believe in love and family. I know the way I have married you is not appropriate. But
believe me, I don't regret a moment of my repulsive decision. Because of that decision I have you and our kids in my life which is
the best thing that has ever happened to me. So, I am the one who is thankful to you for showing me the true meaning of love
and survival." He lets out making my eyes water. This time I am not going to blame the pregnancy because his words are
enough to make me cry in joy.
"Don't cry my love. You know right that it pains me to see your tears." He says while wiping the tears that have able to slip past
my eyes.
"They are tears of happiness which you have given to me. So, let them fall because I have never been this happy before." I reply
while looking at him with a smile. He pulls me in his chest before kissing the top of my head making me snuggle closer to his
warmth. Suddenly, the lights around us turned off making me scared for a second but he holds me tight in his arms.
"Look at the sky, Cara." He whispers in my ear so I look at the sky. Fireworks is going on in the sky but what surprise me the
most is when I read the line written in the sky by the fireworks something making me gasp in amazement.
"Happy Birthday Mia Cara." He says the same thing written in the sky.
"How do you know that?" I ask because I don't remember telling him about today being my birthday.
"I have my ways to know a lot of things." He replies before bending down to kiss me on the lips.
"Thank you so much." I whisper getting emotional because this is the first time I have gotten any surprise on my birthday.
Because back in Kolkata, everyone was ordered by Thakurmaa not to wish me on my birthday because this is the same day
when my mother died after giving birth to me.
"Don't be sad because I am sure your mother won't be happy to see you sad on your birthday. I know this day has never been
pleasurable in your life in the past. But from now on I am going to celebrate this day with you because I want to cherish the day
when my beautiful wife grace the world with her presence for the first time." He says while caressing my cheeks lovingly.
"Come, I have something for you." He lets out while taking my hand in his before walking towards the table. I notice that there is
a chocolate cupcake on the table with a candle on the top of it.
"Make a wish then blow the candle." He instructs. I close my eyes and fold my palms together before praying to God for the well-
being of my family. When I open my eyes I blow the candle while he sings the happy birthday song for me. I take out the candle
from the cupcake and put it on the table before holding the cupcake near his lips making him take a little bite. Then he takes the
cupcake from me and feeds me the rest.
"You know Romil wanted to celebrate my birthday but I didn't let him because I thought that I was bothering him. However, he
didn't listen to me and baked me a chocolate cake by himself." I tell him in which he gives me a sad smile.
"Romil was one of a kind who cared for everyone except himself. I had never seen him getting angry on anything aa if there was
no anger inside him. He used to scold me whenever I got into a fight in the college because he didn't like it when anyone fight." I
look at the man who is so casually talking about his best friend who was also his wife's first husband. I am truly blessed to have
him as my husband because he understands everything so well that I can freely talk to him about anything I want.
"Hey, I forgot to bring your birthday gift." Alessandro says making me look at him like he has lost his mind.
"There is more gift?" I ask with wide eyes. But he only laughs at me before asking me to wait for him. I shake my head in
disbelief but do as he has asked me to. After a few minutes, he comes back holding a big rectangular box which is wrapped
beautifully.
"What is this, Alessandro?" I ask while walking towards him.
"Open it." He replies after putting the box on the table. I get curious but starts to get the wrapping undone. I can feel a lump
forming on my throat when I realize what is in there inside the box.
I run my fingers over the guitar before looking at Alessandro who is already looking at me with a big smile on his face. I get near
him and throw my arms around his neck trying not to cry. I don't want him to think that I don't like the gift by crying because I am
so happy that I don't even have words to describe how I am feeling.
"I have heard you singing lullaby to our princess so I made a wild guess that you must like music. So, I asked your brother and
get to know that you can play a lot of musical instruments. But your grandmother has forbidden you to play anything. So, I
thought that you will be happy to get your own music room at our mansion where you can play any instrument and sing as much
as you want." He explains while rubbing my back gently.
"You mean to say that I will have a musical room of my own?" I ask after pulling away from the hug.
"Yes, and the room is fully loaded with different types of instruments." He replies with a grin.
"I don't know how to thank you enough for making my life so beautiful." I let out while looking at him.
"Just keep smiling and that's enough for me." He replies while tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. He picks me up in his arms
making me squeal in surprise.
"What are you doing? Put me down, the staff will see us." I scold him but he shakes his head in denial.
"I am carrying my wife who is pregnant so I don't care who sees us." He replies while I pout at him.
