Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 13

Alessandro's POV:-

The atmosphere in the car is completely 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 playing 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 planning 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 to complete 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 welcome 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 plane starts to take off I notice that Anhuphama is looking very much scared but Bianca holds her hand tightly to make her feel comfortable.

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.

"Play." 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 my lap before she starts to pull my tie. I open the knot of the tie so that while she plays 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 playing with the tie before starting to tell them exactly what happened.

Flashback

"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 please come as soon as possible." The lady 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 unknown lady 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 the lady 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." A lady was coming 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 sunglasses. 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 accept 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 becoming 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 accepted 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 the company. By getting angry with this revelation 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 explained to me.

"Why didn't Anhuphama oppose her grandmother if she loves this baby so much? Why not fight for her?" I asked.
