Chapter 58: Ch.57/ Let The Game Again
Anupama''s POV:-
"What''s wrong, Anu?" Dadabhai asks after I am done with talking with Alessandro.
"Marco is on his way to Sengupta mansion." I reply making him huff.
"What does he want now?" He asks angrily.
"I may have suggested him toe here to stop Riya''s marriage." I let out sheepishly while he gives
me a ''are you serious'' look.
"Don''t give me that look, dadabhai. He came to me a few days ago and started to question me why I
wasn''t trying to stop Riya''s marriage. So, I got angry and asked him to do it by himself. However, I
didn''t think that he would reallye here so quickly." I exin with a sigh.
"I understand your point of view Anu but now what? Marco is not like Alessandro who is calm and
calcted. Marco will definitely going to cause havoc and I don''t know how mom or didon are going to
take this." He replied looking lost.
"I am not stressed about them, I am thinking about Riya. We all know that why she left LA so hurriedly
and I can''t even imagine what will happen when she sees Marco after so long time." I say getting
worried.
"Let''s just hope that we will be able to handle the situation." He lets out making me nod my head. I walk
inside the room where baba is staying currently. Now, that he is out of danger the doctor has told us
that baba doesn''t need to stay in the ICU. After arriving inside the room I notice that baba is sleeping
so I get near him and sit down in the chair in front of the hospital bed. I look at him sadly because I
have never seen him so weak. He has always been the backbone of the Sengupta family and now
seeing himying in a hospital bed, my heart is hurting.
I know he has done very bad to me out of anger because he believes that I am the reason behind my
mother''s death and it''s kind of true. Because after giving birth to me, she left this earth. I feel a lump
growing in my throat remembering all the taunt, harsh words my father has told me in which resulted in
tears rolling down my face. But when I try to lift my hand to wipe them, a hand stops me. I look at the
hand to see that baba is the one who is holding my hand while he has tears running down the side of
his face.
"What''s wrong baba? Are you hurting somewhere? Wait, I will get the doctor for you." I say getting
worried but he doesn''t release my hand making me confuse.
"I am alright, Anupama." He says with a hoarse voice. I wipe his tears with my dupatta not
understanding what''s going on with him.
"If you are alright then why are you crying?" I ask worriedly.

"I am crying because my daughter is crying." He answers back.
"I am not crying baba. Something is making my eyes itchy and that''s why my eyes are getting watery." I
reply but I think he has already seen through my lie.
"I know I have never been a perfect father to you but I can understand when my daughter is hurting. I
have always neglected your pain because of my negative thoughts that resolve around your mother''s
death. I have tried to get past my negativity many times but every time your mother, Durga''s face
appeared in front of my eyes making my anger win." He says with difficulties.
"Baba please don''t talk anymore. We will talk after you get better. Please rest for now." I try to make
him understand because I can see that he is getting tired.
"No, I have a lot to say." He replies while taking a long breath.
"I know that and we will talk as much as you want. But not now, you are going to sleep and that''s my
order." I tell him sternly while he smiles sadly.
"You are just like your mother." He whispers before closing his eyes. I run my hand through his hair with
a sigh before getting up from the chair. I close the door on my way out and dial Alessandro''s number.
But he doesn''t receive my call which is totally out of his habits. I look forward to see that Kakai is
coming towards me alone with dadabhai. When they get near me I inform them that I am going to the
Sengupta mansion because I am not feeling well. Both insist toe with me but I assure them that I
can go by myself. Also, there is a car waiting for me outside which is assigned by Alessandro so I get
out of the hospital before asking the driver to take me to the Sengupta mansion.
Upon reaching there I hurriedly get inside in fear of Marco doing something problematic. However, I
hearughing soundsing from the living room so I directly go there to see that Marco is talking to
Pishimaa and Thakurmaa who are looking very pleased to have him here. Riya is nowhere near them
but Alessandro is there with a smirk on his face.
"Finally, you are here." Marco says aloud beforeing to hug me.
"y along with me." He whispers in my ear before pulling away from the hug with a big smile on his
face. I don''t know what he is ying but I think it will be better if I cooperate with him for now.
"When did you get here, Marco?" I ask after sit beside Alessandro who puts his hand on my stomach
protectively making me smile.
"I just got here half an hour ago. When I heard from Mama what happened to your father I got so
worried that I came here as soon as I can." Marco replies making Alessandro choke on his spit while I
am trying hard not tough.
"You are such a generous person, Mr. Davis." Pishimaaments with a pleased look.
"Oh please call me Marco. I am the same age as your son so it doesn''t suit you to be so formal with
me." Marco replies with a gentle tone.
"I will remember it from the next time. You can stay here as long as you want because I am sure borda
will be thrilled to meet you. Right, maa?" Pishima lets out before looking at thakurmaa for confirmation.
"Of course, Marco will be staying here. He is our guest and we know how to take care of our guest."
Thakurmaa replies.
"Just like they are taking care of us." Alessandro mumbles making me nudge him on the rib to keep
quiet. After some time pishimaa and thakurmaa leaves from there.
"You understand that you are deceiving them, right?" I ask Marco.
"They are easy to manipte so seeing a billionaire in their house is a very big deal for them. Although
I am sorry that I have to use your father''s ident as my reason foring here but I gotta do what I
need to get back Riya." Marco replies with a shrug of his shoulders.
"But you should have at least told us beforeing here. I could have helped you in another way."
Alessandro lets out.
"Man I know what I have done is a hectic step but I didn''t have any other solution in my mind at that
time. Also, there is only one month left in Riya''s marriage and I need to stop it." Marco replies making
me understand his point of view.
"That''s alright and don''t worry we will definitely help you." I say while giving him thumbs up for his
determination.
"By the way, you need to talk to Miss Ganguly because she is clearly Upset seeing Marco here."
Alessandro lets out with a sigh.
"I will go and talk to her. She needs to understand that by doing something she doesn''t want is not
going to help her. If she really thinks that by marrying the person chosen by pishimaa will make her
happy then I will let her do it. But if she is marrying the person just to get rid of Marco then she has to
face me because I am not going to let her do it." I reply and get up from my ce to go in search of
Riya.

When I reach Riya''a room I knock on the door but don''t get any response. So, I decide to go inside
because the door is not closed from inside. I notice that she is sitting on her bed with her head buried in
her knees. I can see her body shook indicating that she is crying. I walk towards the bed before sitting
beside her. I put my hand on her head making her look at me with red puffy eyes. I feel my heartbreak
seeing the strong girl crying so I do the only thing I know that will help her. I open my arms making her
hug me tightly while her body rack with sobs.
"Why did hee here?" Riya asks still crying.
"Because he wants to make everything better between you both." I reply while rubbing her back gently.
"But I don''t want him to make anything better." She mutters before pulling away from the hug. She
wipes her tears harshly with her palms and gets out of the bed before getting inside the washroom.
Five minutester shees out looking a little fresh so I know that she must have washed her face to
get rid of the tear stains.
"What do you mean you don''t want him to make anything better?" I ask after she sits down on the bed.
"I mean what I have said because there is nothing left between us. Actually, I don''t think there was
anything between us from the start. I was just a ything to him which he yed till he got bored. Also,
I was going through some bad stuff at that time so I did what I thought was correct. But now I don''t
want to dwell in the past where there was no happiness. I am getting married to a person who is
chosen by my mother and I intend to spend my life with that person." She confess as if she wasn''t
crying a few minutes ago. I can understand how much pain she must be feeling seeing the person she
once loved so much. But despite it, she can not change the fact that she still has some feelings left for
Marco.
"Okay as long as you are happy. By the way, I want to go to the market to get something for everyone."
I tell her.
"Why are you getting things for everyone?" She asks looking confused.
"It''s my first timeing here after my marriage so I need to get something for everyone. It''s a good
thing to do." I reply making her understand.
"Okay, then when are we going?" She asks.
"Today, I want to take rest because this little one is making me very tiredtely so I think we will go
tomorrow." I let out while running my hand on the baby bump with a smile.
"It''s good to see you so happy Anu and I am sure that my nephew or niece will bring a lot more joy in
your life." Shements making me nod my head in response.
"I am really happy with everything in my life and I can not ask for more." I reply.

One weekter
Baba is finally getting released from the hospital today so I along with Mamoni and Jasmine di is
making some of his favorite dishes. Dadabhai and Kakai have gone to the hospital to get baba while
Marco is pestering Riya to give him another chance which I don''t think is going to happen.
"Anu, are the curry ready?" Jasmine di asks while she cuts cucumber for sd.
"The curry will be ready in a few minutes di." I reply before steering the curry one more time.
"You know I was worried abouting here because I didn''t want didon or mom to misbehave with
you. But I am happy to see that you have managed to show them their ce." Jasmine di says with a
smile.
"Same for me, Jasmine. I was extremely afraid for Anu because of how maa and Kamini treats her. But
my doll is a lot different than before and I am thrilled to see her reply strongly to them." Mamoni lets out
while petting me on the back.
"I am just doing what I need to do to show them that I have indeed changed. Also, it''s high time that
they learn to ept other''s decisions." I answer looking at her.
"By the way, I really liked the saree and jewelry you have gotten for me." Mamoniments smiling
brightly at me.
"I am d to know that. Jasmine di, how about you? Did you like the painting?" I ask while turning off
the stove.
"I just loved it. It will look so beautiful in our bedroom so I have asked Subho to take it back with us to
LA." Jasmine di replies enthusiastically.
"You and Subho will go back again?" Mamoni asks sadly.
"Subho has his job in there and I also like to stay there because I don''t need to face bacsh from
didon or mom." Jasmine di replies looking guilty but I can understand her. It''s not easy to live with
people who constantly remind you about something you haven''t done.
"I know that you felt helpless when Kamini decided to break your engagement with Subho. So, it''s okay
if you want to go back." Mamoni says with a smile.
"Mum-mum boro dadue." Advira says running inside the kitchen. I pick her up in my arms before
we get out to wee baba.
When we reach the front entrance I notice that thakurmaa is holding a tray that is full of holy things.
Baba is sitting in a wheelchair because he still can''t walk because of his broken foot. After thakurmaa
done with her aarti Dadabhai push the wheel chair inside the house. Baba''s face lit up when he sees
Advira in my arms so I put her on the floor because I know she wants to wee her boro dadu.
However, pishimaa doesn''t let her get near baba making me frown.
"Don''t go anywhere near my borda." Pishimaa says arrogantly while holding my baby''s arm. I am going
to answer her but baba beats me by answering himself.
"Don''t you know how to behave with a child, Kamini?" Baba asks looking extremely angry which
shocked us all because this is the first time he is taking Advira''s side.
"Borda this is an unwanted child you are talking about. We all know that her family didn''t wa-" a loud
sound of p echo around the house while pishimaa is standing there holding her cheek.
"Mihir! Why did you p your sister?" Thakurmaa exims with anger.
"I should have done this a long time ago so that she would know how to behave with a child." Kakai lets
out looking at thakurmaa with disappointment before asking Advira to go to Jasmine di.
"Borda did you see how chhorda p me for that unwanted child?" Pishimaa starts crying but I don''t
think anyone other than thakurmaa feels sorry for her.
"I am not seeing anything wrong in what Mihir did because Advira is not an unwanted child and you
need to ept the truth. She is Anupama''s daughter hence she is my granddaughter so next time I
won''t tolerate you insulting her in front of me." Baba retorts sternly making thakurmaa and pishimaa
speechless while tears fill my eyes. He doesn''t even know that he is standing up for his biological
granddaughter who was snatched away by the two women in front of him.
"Let''s go from here Kamini. I don''t think we are needed here because it seems your borda has more
people for him." Thakurmaaments making me huff.
"Of course, baba has all of us so it will be extremely well if you both get out of here because I am here
to take care of my father." I reply and they quickly walk out of there while mumbling something under
their breath.
"Come here, Advira." Baba calls out to my daughter who is hiding behind Jasmine di. Upon hearing her
name, she looks at me for confirming if she can go to her grandfather or not. So, I nod my head in
response making her walk slowly towards baba who is looking at her with a smile.
"How are you dear?" Baba asks Advira when she stands in front of him.
"Me good and hows you?" Advira asks tilting her head to the side.
"I am a little tired but I am sure that your kisses will make me feel better." Baba response gently.
"Oh yesh. Me kissies you so you be good." Advira says excitedly.
"But to do that we need to take your boro dadu to his room first. So why don''t you help me take him
there?" Dadabhai asks making Advira nods her head quickly.
"Otay let go boro dadu." Advira says while trying to push the wheelchair but when she can''t, she looks
at Kakai with a pout as if asking for his help. After getting help from Kakai they take baba to his
bedroom which is shifted downstairs because he won''t be able to go upstairs with all the injuries.

Alessandro''s POV:-
I am currently in my car going to the Sengupta mansion after several meetings with some business
associates who want to sell their shares to mypany. It''s not a bad deal so I give them a generous
amount of money in return for the shares and inform Bianca about what to do with the shares.
Suddenly, my eyes catch something interesting so I tell the driver to stop the car. I get out before
heading towards the toy shop to purchase the Mini mouse stuff toy which I know my princess will love
to have.
After getting the toy I ask the driver to take me to the Sengupta mansion because I can not wait to see
my baby''s smiling face and hear her loud giggle. Upon reaching there I hurriedly get out of the car after
picking the toy in my hand. I ring the bell and a maid opens the door to let me in. When I ask her about
Anhuphama she informs me that Anhuphama is in the backyard ying with our daughter.
I straight walk towards the backyard in search of my wife and daughter whom I haven''t seen in for so
many hours. I notice that Anuphama is sitting on the swing while our daughter is sleeping on herp.
So, I quietly go near them without making any sound before sitting beside my wife who looks happy to
see me. I peck her on the lips before bending down to kiss my princess on the forehead.
"Why is she sleeping in this hour?" I ask Anhuphama
"She has been ying since morning so I think she is feeling tired. Also, her hand is hurting a little."
She replies sadly making me confuse.
"Did she get hurt or something happened when I wasn''t here?" I ask making her look at me. She starts
exining what happened after her father came home from the hospital. After hearing everything I feel
my inner self wanting to tear down those two witches for hurting my innocent baby. I look at my baby''s
hand where a small yet dark bruise has appeared making me clench my hands in fury. But I control my
anger and kiss the bruise lightly not wanting to hurt my precious girl.
"Cara I want to celebrate our daughter''s birthday here." I let out with after taking our daughter in my
arms.
"But why Alessandro? We have already nned her birthday party in LA. Also, Mama Melody and
others are there so I don''t think it will be a good idea to celebrate our daughter''s birthday without them."
Anhuphama saysying her head on my shoulder.
"I will take care of everything, tesoro. You just concentrate on your father and our babies. By the way,
how is our little bean doing?" I ask wanting to change the topic because I don''t want her to ask me any
more questions about the sudden decision of celebrating our daughter''s birthday here.
"Our little bean is making me a little tiredtely and right now I am craving ice cream." She replies with
a pout just like our daughter.
"Okay, then I think I need to get ice cream for you." I tease her.
"No, I don''t want you to go." She says childishly wrapping her arms around my right biceps as if I will
disappear from her eyesight.
"Fine, I am not going anywhere. I will just ask someone to bring ice cream for you. Now, tell me which
vor you want?" I ask her.
"Hmm, I want to eat mango ice cream." She answers happily so I dial Miss Ganguly''s number and ask
her to tell one of the maids to bring mango ice cream for Anhuphama. Soon, the ice cream is brought
into the backyard which makes my wife very happy. While she eats the ice cream with a big smile I
start nning how to expose the persons who are responsible for the terrible things that happened to
my cara and our daughter. I can''t wait any longer to punish them because I am not as forgiving as my
wife.
I have already gotten enough proof in my hands to put those women behind the bar. But before doing
that I am going to show them why they shouldn''t have hurt my wife and our daughter. Everything will
happen on the day of my daughter''s birthday as it will be a sight to see when they will get to know that
my princess is the same child they had thrown in the garbage. They will regret every little thing they
have done to hurt the two most important people of my life.
