Chapter 13: Ch.12/ She Is Our Daughter
Alessandro''s POV:-
The atmosphere in the car ispletely tense. No one is saying anything because of different reasons.
I don''t know about others but I am feeling betrayed by that family. How can they hide something from
me? Especially Mr. Sengupta, I never knew that a father can be so cruel to his own daughter. Just
thinking about how Anhuphama has to live without seeing her daughter is making me more furious. I
look at her seeing that she is ying with the little baby who is giggling her heart out. Unknowingly a
smile makes its way on my face but clearing of a throat divert my attention.
Bianca is staring at me with a mischievous smile while Samuel has a smirk on his face. This sibling duo
is definitely nning something. Suddenly, the car stop making me look outside the car to see that we
have reached the airport. I get out of the car first before taking the baby in my arms because
Anhuphama is having problem getting out of the car with the baby. After that, we get inside the airport
toplete all the necessary formalities. When we get in front of the private jet I see that the pilot is
standing in front of the jet to wee us. I introduce Anhuphama to him and other staff before one of
them ask me about the baby. I look at Anhuphama to see that she is looking nervous by the question.
"She is our daughter." I reply shortly before getting inside the jet. I can feel Anhuphama''s eyes on the
whole time because of what I have said about the baby. But it''s the truth and I am not ashamed to
admit it. If she thinks this baby as her daughter then she is my daughter too from now on as we are
officially married. After getting inside the jet we take our seats before one of the staff offers us some
drinks in which we all denied. When the ne starts to take off I notice that Anhuphama is looking very
much scared but Bianca holds her hand tightly to make her feelfortable.
I feel a little hand tapping me on the cheek and see that the little baby is the one who is trying to get my
attention. I have to stop calling her little baby but I really can''t pronounce her name correctly. Again she
taps my cheek and I look at her.
"Yes, how may I help you?" I ask the cutie. She narrows her eyes at me while her lips form a little pout.
"y." Oh so miss cutie is a demanding little thing. From the corner of my eyes, I notice that
Anhuphama is panicking and try to take the cutie from me.
"It''s alright she is not troubling me." I reply to her unspoken question. She looks hesitant but still gives
me a little nod.
"Don''t worry Anupama. Alessandro is a very good babysitter and my daughters are fond of their Sandro
uncle." Bianca tries to assure Anhuphama but I can hear the sarcasm in her tone making me smirk at
her. I let the baby stand on myp before she starts to pull my tie. I open the knot of the tie so that
while she ys with it I don''t choke.
"I have a question, Alessandro." Bianca says from her seat.
"I know what you want to ask. Not only you, but the other two are also curious about my meeting with
Mr. Ganguly''s fiancee." I answer in which they nod their heads. I look at the baby who has her brows
furrows while ying with the tie before starting to tell them exactly what happened.
shback
"Hello?" I asked on the phone.
"I want you to meet me as soon as possible. Before you ask me anything about who I am or how I have
gotten your number, just know that I am someone who wants to help your wife. Her family is hiding
something serious from you so I want you to hear me out for once. Please kindly meet me asap. I am
sending you my location so pleasee as soon as possible." Thedy replied from the other side. I
didn''t know if it''s a trap or not but I decided to go and meet her. So I instructed the driver to stop the car
before hailing a cab to meet the unknowndy who called me. When Bianca asked me who had called I
told her a lie that I had to meet a client.
After getting inside the cab I got a text where thedy had sent me her location, I showed the location
to the cab driver who drove me there in 15 minutes. It was a small park where not many people were
present. After paying I got out of the cab before looking around.
"Mr. Bianchi." Ady wasing towards me and she seemed familiar to me. When she came in front
of me I remembered where I had seen before.
"You are Mr. Ganguly''s fiancee, right?" I asked her.
"Yes, you are correct. I am Subhodeep''s fiancee but today I have told you to meet me because I want
to talk about Anupama." She replied while taking off her sunsses. I got curious because what''s so
important that she had told me to meet like this.
"I know what you are thinking Mr. Bianchi. You want to know why I have asked you to meet me so
urgently, right?" She asked back. I nodded my head in answer.
"Anupama''s family mostly her father, her grandmother, and her aunt who is her father''s sister are hiding
a big truth from you. Her grandmother has threatened her not to open her mouth in front of anyone
about it." She replied looking angry.
"What truth are you talking about?" I asked her because I didn''t want to have any secrets between my
wife and me. She told me to wait for a minute. I saw that she went to what I assumed her car and
opened the door before taking a baby in her arms. I was totally confused by now. Soon enough she
stood in front of me with a cute baby girl who couldn''t be more than two or three years.
"Why did you bring this baby here?" I couldn''t help but ask the first thing that came into my mind. She
looked at the baby before looking at me with sad eyes.
"Because this baby is the truth that Anupama''s grandmother has been trying to hide from everyone."
She replied. What this supposed to mean?
"Look I don''t have much time in my hands, so please tell me what you have to say," I told her
impatiently.
"Her name is Advira and she is Anupama''s daughter." Shock should an understanding but what I was
feeling at that moment was something I could not describe. I looked at her like she had lost her mind.
"I know you think that I am bluffing but it''s the truth. This baby here is Anupama''s daughter, not by
blood but by heart. Advira''s biological mother was my friend who died during giving birth to little Advira.
As my friend''s husband had died a few months before Advira was born, so his family was not ready to
ept Advira. As for my friend''s family, they also thought that baby Advira was the reason for every
horrible thing so they denied to even see her face. The hospital was ready to hand over the one-week-
old baby to an orphanage but I was not ready. I was the one who failed to save my friend''s life so I took
the decision to raise her by myself. I was the one who named her Advira and started to look after her.
But being a doctor, I needed to leave her often with my parents who loved her dearly. However, they
were also getting busy with our family business so taking care of Advira was bing a hard situation
for us. So I went to Anupama and asked her if she could take care of Advira for some time. She was
very happy but her grandmother and aunt were not ready because they didn''t want people to say that
an unmarried girl was taking care of an orphan baby. However, after a lot of insisting they epted my
request. But that didn''t stop them from taunting Anupama or Advira. Anupama started to take care of
Advira like her own daughter and I had no heart to separate them from each other. Advira grew fond of
Anupama very quickly and started to call her mum-mum. Her grandma and aunt scolded her for letting
Advira called her mother but she didn''t listen to them. Everything was going good but then you asked
Indrajit uncle, Anupama''s father for Anupama''s hand in marriage. But Riya couldn''t handle this that you
didn''t choose her to marry, she asked Anupama to reject your offer. But Anupama denied it saying that
if she didn''t marry you then her father would lose thepany. By getting angry with this revtion
Riya made their grandmother believed that they should not keep Advira at their house anymore. I didn''t
have any choice left but to take Advira with me otherwise they were going to give her to an orphanage.
Their grandmother didn''t even let Anupama see Advira after that." She exined to me.
"Why didn''t Anhuphama oppose her grandmother if she loves this baby so much? Why not fight for
her?" I asked.
"You don''t know Anupama Mr. Bianchi. She can do anything for the well-being of her family. Yesterday,
before the wedding I had told her to get away from here and live with her daughter but she didn''t agree
with me. But She chose her father over Advira. That''s how she is. She can sacrifice her own happiness
for her family but not everyone from that family understands her value." She answered back. I ran my
hands through my hair in frustration.
"I know I am asking a lot from you but I know Anupama. She can not live without her Advira. She will
not show it but she will be hurting inside every second without the most precious being in her life. I am
requesting you, Mr. Bianchi, please don''t separate them. Please take Advira with you and Anupama.
Please" she was pleading by now while tears were pouring out of her eyes.
.....
"After knowing everything I can not even think about leaving this babygirl here. Thanks to thatdy
otherwise Anhuphama''s Grandma and Miss Ganguly were sessful in their n." Bianca and
Anhuphama have tears in their eyes while Samuel is ready to kill someone after hearing everything.
"Can I get Advira for some time?" Anhuphama says in a timid tone. I hand over the sleepy baby to her
before taking out myptop to do some necessary work because we have a lot of time to reach LA.

Anupama''s POV:-
Nothing can be predictable and it has been proved from time to time but still we humans think that we
have the power to do things our way. Who could have thought that I would be able to see, to touch my
Advira again. However, what Jasmine Di did it''s unbelievable. While I am happy about being with
Advira but by thinking about Jasmine Di, my hands and feet are sweating badly with anticipation. By
knowing Thakurmaa and Pishimaa, they will definitely create havoc in Jasmine Di''s life. They can
separate Di and Dadabhai. Oh my god! No, I can not let it happen. I can not let anyone harm Jasmine
Di''s life because of me. But how will I be able to help her? How will I be able to even contact her
without a phone? What- "Anupama the jet is going to lend soon,e and sit down with us." Bianca
calls out to me from outside the bedroom door making a stop at my thoughts.
"Yes,ing." I look at Advira who is sound asleep on the bed before going inside the washroom to
freshen up. I never knew that a private jet can have so many facilities, also I am not feeling so scared
about being in a ne anymore. After using the washroom, I take Advira in my arms before getting out
of the bedroom. I get near the single couch where Bianca is sitting and take a seat beside her on a
nearby single couch before putting Advira on myp. I put a light nket on her because I have heard
that the weather in LA is a little chilly at the night time and If I am not wrong then I am sure that it''s
evening in there. I notice that Mr. Bianchi is still working on hisptop like before. I haven''t gotten a
chance to thank him for the huge kindness he has shown to me. However, I don''t know how to thank
him because he is very intimidating to talk. It''s not like he has talk harshly with me but still, I feel scared
of him.
Soon enough the pilot announces that we havended safely. Just like before Mr. Bianchi takes a
sleepy Advira from me when the door opens and one by one we all get out of the jet. The first thing I
notice aftering out of the jet is that there are at least five cars waiting in the runway but what
surprises me the most is Bianca''s happy squealing seeing a tall and muscr man. She runs to him
before jumping on his arms and starts to kiss him on the lips. Immediately I turn my head on the other
side not wanting to see more of their romantic disy. Instead, I follow Mr. Bianchi who is walking
ahead of me with Advira in his arms. When we reach near an expensive-looking shiny ck car, he
opens the passenger door before strapping Advira securely in a car seat. He then signals me to get
inside the car beside her and I do that without a word. He takes the front seat of the car beside the
driver and the car starts moving forward. I try to keep quiet as much as possible but can not help but
ask the question that is on my mind for some time.
"Ummm, Mr. Bianchi." I call out shyly.
"Yes." He replies without turning around.
"Where is Bianca and Samuel? Why didn''t theye with us?" I ask timidly.
"Samuel is in another car with my other bodyguards and Bianca has gone with her husband whom you
saw at the airport." He answers before looking out the window. I don''t say anything more not wanting to
disturb him. So I also look out of the window and try to enjoy the beautiful view of LA.
At least twenty minutester the cares near a big gate and the driver dial some code before the
gate open to reveal a very huge mansion, actually it''s more like a pce.
I am inplete awe by the beauty in front of me. The car again start moving before stopping in front
of the big Pce like mansion. Mr. Bianchi get out of the car first before opening my side of the door. I
get out of the car and start to open the straps of Advira''s car seat. She has waken up a few minutes
before so she is rubbing her eyes with her tiny fists. I kiss her forehead earning a cute smile from her. I
take her in my arms before closing the car door.
"Let''s go inside. Melody is very eager to meet you." Mr. Bianchi says while gesturing me to walk.
"Who is Melody?" I ask him while walking beside him.
"She is the head cook of my house." He replies but I can hear the hesitation in his voice as if he is
wanting to say something else. Soon enough we reach the front door but before Mr. Bianchi can ring
the bell, the door open by an olddy who has a bright smile on her face. She can not be more than
sixty years old but her eyes held a warmth that can make anyone around her feel loved.
"Wee home Alessandro." She says before looking at me with a weing smile.
"Wee home Dolcezza." I look at her in confusion not understand what she calls me. But I think she
understands my confusion.
"Dolcezza means Sweetie in Italian. I hope you don''t mind me calling you that." She tells me with a soft
smile on her face.
"It''s not any problem," I answer with a smile.
"Melody can we pleasee inside now? You can talk to her after that." Mr. Bianchi says tiredly.
"Oh, you hush up boy. I need to perform a ritual before weing the new bride in the house." She
says and another what I think a maid handles her a te full of things. I realize what she wants to do
when she starts to look at the things in her hand. It really touches my heart seeing her with an ''aarti''
thali to wee me.
"What''s all this Melody?" Mr. Bianchi asks looking irritated.
"She is from India and I know how much Indian people give importance in this ritual. I might not be an
Indian but I have seen a lot of videos to practice this ritual. Your wife has the right to be weed by
performing this ritual." Melody replies before she starts to do the ritual correctly. My eyes be moist
seeing the respect she has for my country and culture. Shepletes the ritual in a few minutes before
weing us into the house.
