Chapter 26: Ch.25/ A Day For Us
Anupama''s POV:-
"Scout sit down in your ce or I will give your food to Fonsie." I tell the most dramatic dog I have ever
seen in my life who doesn''t know when to stop his tantrum. Currently, he is throwing his daily dose of
tantrum which means he wants some cuddle time from me.
However, the furry boy is not in the mood for listening to me. He only whines and stomps his feet on the
floor making Jasmine di and Mama Melody bursr intoughter. However, I don''t budge from my
decision and turn to cook dinner. It''s been two weeks since the party and Baba is still here so I have
decided to make Indian food for everyone.
Riya is also here but she has gone out with her new friends to look around the city. She is behaving
quite oddly for some days after meeting those new friends. It''s not like she will tell me anything but I
don''t trust this new friend group. Because whenever shees back home, she doesn''t even talk to
anyone and straight goes to her room. I can see that Baba and Dadabhai are also getting worried
about her but seems like no one wants to ask her anything. I just hope she is not doing anything
reckless that can put her in any type of harm.
"You know Mama Melody I was so shocked when I first saw Anu being so close with the dogs because
she was so terrified of dogs in the past. But now look at her, she has be a perfect dog-mom."
Jasmine diments.
"You are absolutely right my dear. Anupama was extremely scared of the dogs when she first came
here, she was even more scared because she thought that they would harm Advira. However, she can
not resist the charm of the dogs for very long." Mama Melody replies making me roll my eyes. They are
talking as if I am not present here.
Mr. Bianchi has been super busy nowadays with the corporation of the new branch of Baba''spany.
Dadabhai is also going with him to finalize some important things. I am really happy to see that my
husband and brother are bonding so well over time, just if Baba can bond with my new family then I will
be in seventh heaven.
"The dessert is ready Anu. Do you want me to set up the table for dinner?" Jasmine di asks making me
look at her.
"Hmmm, dinner is also done, and also it''s close to 9 PM so I think it will be good to set up the table." I
reply while putting the peas po on a bowl. For dinner I have made Peas Po, Mas Kulcha,
Paneer Bhurji, Chicken Tikka Mas and Jasmine di has made Ras Mi for dessert.
Just as I am leaving the kitchen to get freshen up, I notice that Baba is sitting on the couch while Advira
is sitting on the floor staring at each other. My eyes widen because it is the first time that I have seen
my daughter and my father so close but what surprise me the most is that they seem to have a staring
match going on between them. I don''t disturb them and go to my bedroom. Actually, it''s Mr. Bianchi''s
bedroom that I am staying in. Both of us like to embrace each other while falling asleep so we have
decided to live in the same room.
However, my bedroom is still mine because my dear husband has told me that whenever I feel like I
need some alone time I can go there. After getting freshen up I go back to the dining room to see that
Mr. Bianchi along with Dadabhai has arrived and currently sitting in the living room. I tell them to get
freshen up and ask Baba toe to the dining area for dinner.
Soon, everyone is sitting at the dining table while the maids bring the foods. Anyone can see the
satisfaction in Baba''s face noticing what I have prepared because everything is his favorite and that
makes me happy knowing that at least somewhat I am the reason behind his enjoyment.
Everyone praises me for the dinner except Baba who silently eats his dinner. After dinner, Mama
Melody orders me to go to my room and take rest. I try to object but she doesn''t listen to me so I reach
the bedroom and shake my head seeing that Mr. Bianchi is working on hisptop. I go to the closet and
take out afy pajama set before going to the washroom to get changed.

My husband dearest is still working when Ie back from the washroom. So, I take theptop from
him ignoring his protest before putting it on the nearby table. I get in the bed and tell him to sleep
beside me. When he doesn''tply with me, I show him the puppy face which I have learned from
Advira. He chuckles andys down while holding me in his arms.
"Tomorrow is Sunday so I want to take you out, alone." He says while ying with my fingers.
"But what about Advira? Who will look after her?" I ask.
"I have already talked to Melody about it. She is going to Uncle Gabriel''s house tomorrow and she has
told me that she will take our baby with her." He replies making me hum.
"Okay, but where are we going?" I ask while putting my chin on his chest looking at his eyes.
"We are going to spend the whole day sightseeing so wear somethingfortable." He answers with a
smile. I nod my head andy my head down on his chest. It has be a routine for us, he will hold
me in his arms while Iy my head on his chest because I like to hear his heartbeat before falling
asleep.
********
The next day
Do you know the feeling when you feel giddy for some reason unknown to you? That''s the same I am
feeling right now. I have been standing in front of the mirror for some minutes but I am still not satisfied
with my look. I have never been so careful about my look or appearance but today I want to look my
best. This is the first time I am going out with my husband for some alone time and I want to enjoy
every moment of it.
I have chosen a skin-fitting dress with minimum makeup on my face and for shoes, I have worn nude
block heels. I have tried to keep it moderate in hope that Mr. Bianchi will like how I am looking.
"Fantastic Anu." Dadabhai saysing to my room. I turn around with a smile to see that he has
Advira in his arms. I have already gotten her ready in a cute little white dress but what makes me smile
big is the flower crown that is set up around her hair.
"Thank you dadabhai. But who gave this flower crown to Advira?" I ask curiously while kissing my
baby''s hands.
"Bianca has given Advira this crown which she likes very much. Jasmine and I are going with Mama
Melody too so Bianca has said that she will look after the house till wee back as Samuel is also
going with you and Alessandro." He exins. I nod my head in understanding. Liam is still not back
from his trip to Germany so Bianca sometimeses here to spend time with us.
"But how will she stay here alone with Mia? Delh is also not here as she has gone on her school
trip." I can not help but be worried about Bianca.
"Don''t worry, Olivia is on her way. They are going to have azy day and before you ask any more
questions,e downstairs because your dear husband is getting restless." Hements. I gasp
because I don''t know that Mr. Bianchi is waiting for me so hurriedly get my clutch and mobile before
going out of the room but not before kissing my baby''s cheek.
Upon arriving in the living room Bianca informs me that Mr. Bianchi is outside talking with the
bodyguards so I bid everyone goodbye and reach outside of the mansion. I call out to Mr. Bianchi who
turns around with a smile on his face before he wears his jacket that is handed over by a bodyguard.
I really want to get him some clothes that are not ck because this man''s closet is full of ck
clothes. But I can not disagree that ck suits him the most, as if the color is only made for him.
"Done checking me out, Cara?" I feel my face heating up after hearing Mr. Bianchi''sments. I see
that he has an amusing look on his face making me pout. He chuckles and takes my hand in his before
we get inside his car but what surprises me is that he is the one who is going to drive the car.
"Why are you driving the car and where is the driver?" I ask when he starts the car.
"I have told you yesterday that we will be sharing some alone time so I have decided not to take
anyone with us." He replies while taking my left hand in his right hand and drive the car with his left
hand.
"Then what about Samuel and other bodyguards? I have seen them getting in their cars." I know I am
asking a lot of questions but I am just being curious.
"They will be following us but they will not disturb us. If it was in my hand then I would not have taken
them with us but you know I can not just go around likemon people." He answers back. I nod my
head because I have seen how media tries to know every little thing about his personal life. After a few
minutes of driving, he stops the car in front of a huge building. I look at him with confusion because I
thought we are going to sightseeing. He gets out first then open my side of the door. When I get out of
the car he takes my hand and head towards the building. We pass a lot of workers on our way who
give us a look of recognition.
"What is this ce, Mr. Bianchi? Why are we here?" I ask when we get inside the elevator.
"It is yourpany building Cara." He replies with a smirk.
"WHAT?" I shout making himugh.
"Shh don''t need to shout sweetheart. This indeed is the building where you will be working from next
month along with your brother." He replies before taking my hand in his and we get out of the elevator.
He opens a door and leads me into a rooftop but again, I stop walking seeing the thing in front of me.
"It''s the start, Cara, you are going to get a lot of surprises today. Also, don''t worry I will not let anything
happen to you." He says while wrapping an arm around my waist. I smile at him because he
remembers that I am scared of height.
After shaking hands with the pilot we get inside the helicopter and sit down. I tightly hold Mr. Bianchi''s
hand who squeezes my hand in response. However, my fear of height have long forgotten when I get
to enjoy the views of the Los Angeles Basin. Mr. Bianchi points out the ces and describes them. I
get to see Santa Monica Mountains along with the Sun Fernando Valley. But the most exciting thing I
see is the sign of HOLLYWOOD in the Hollywood Hills area.
I am sure that I have a big smile on my face all the time we spent in the helicopter looking at the
beautiful ces. After a few hours of journey, the helicopter takes us back to the rooftop of the building.
Bidding goodbye to the pilot we get out of the building and reach the car. Then we get in a ce call
Rodeo Drive and after parking the car in a secluded area we stroll there while holding hands. He tries
to take me shopping in the malls out there but I deny saying I want to walk around the ce to see
more things. He happily grants my wish and that''s what we do for a few hours before dinner.
For dinner we go to a small ce in the same street. After eating and paying for the food we get inside
the car and start driving towards ourst destination which is Beverly Garden Park. Thankfully, there
are not many people in the park so we get to walk around in silence.
"Did you enjoy today?" Mr. Bianchi asks after we sit down on the stairs in front of the Lilypond.
"Yes, I did. Thank you very much for bringing me to see so many beautiful ces." I reply with a smile.
"You know Cara I don''t know much about you." Hements making me look at him funnily.
"Don''t give me that look. It''s not false that I really don''t know anything about you but I want to know
everything about you." He says while wrapping an arm around my shoulder making me lean towards
him.
"In that way, I also don''t know about you so let''s ask each other questions. What do you say?" I ask
while looking at him.
"Hmm, that''s a good idea. Okay then let''s start." He replies and we start to ask questions to each other
and get to know a lot of things. However, I get worried when he asks me about my study because I
don''t want him to think of me as a failure.
"Don''t hesitate to share anything with me, Cara. I know when you said Bianca that you don''t know
anything about business, you were clearly lying. So, please tell me what you''re hiding from me." He
urges making me think about my decision of not to tell anyone but he is my husband and he has been
nothing but supportive of me till now. So, I decide to tell him about one of the biggest secrets of my life.
"I was a student of B. Tech but before I could get my degree, Thakurmaa stopped me from going
college as she thought that I would get out of her hands. Pishimaa also supported her because
apparently I was a better student than Riya and Pishimaa couldn''t stand it. I wanted toplete my
degree so badly that I begged them to let me study but they didn''t listen to me. They shredded my
books and notes just before the final exams. They locked me up in my room so that I couldn''t go to the
college to give exams. Neither Baba nor dadabhai was in town at that time and Kakai couldn''t help me
because Thakurmaa didn''t let him. That''s how my education stopped in the midway leaving me a
worthless person who couldn''t evenplete her study." My voice cracks while narrating the horrific
moment of my past. I never wanted to recall that part of my life because I know I can not handle the
pain of not being able toplete my study. I wanted to show everyone that I am not worthless,
especially Baba but my dream of standing on my feet broke down the moment Thakurmaa and
Pishimaa tore apart my books.
