Chapter 43: Ch.42/ It's All About Happiness
Anupama's POV:-
It's night time and I have finished all the work so finally I can rest. So, I get in the bedroom and freshen up. After coming out of the bathroom I make my way towards the shelf of books and start to look for a specific book that I was reading before going to the cabin, I didn't get to complete the book before so now I will complete reading it.
After getting the book I walk towards the bed and lay down while putting my phone on charge. After that, I get busy in my reading. I have just read three pages when Alessandro comes inside the room but I don't spare him a glance. He goes inside the closest and comes after some time in just a pajama bottom before he lays down beside me. I turn around on the other side not wanting to look at him but he has another thing in mind because the next second he yanks me to his chest by holding my waist. I start to struggle to get out of his arms but he tightens his hold on me before taking the book out of my hand. He puts the book on the nightstand and hover over me while looking directly into my eyes. Finally, I stop fighting but turn my head to the other side but he put his finger under my chin and make me look at her.
"Please talk to me, Cara." He whispers in a painful voice making me feel guilty about being too harsh with him. But still, I want him to realize that he doesn't need to hide something for me because he thinks I am weak.
"If you want me to talk to you then why did you hide the fact that Marco is responsible for Riya's sudden departure?" I inquire. He releases a breath before laying down beside me while I look at him for an explanation.
"I wasn't aware of Marco and Miss Ganguly's relation at first, yes I guessed it like you did but wasn't sure about anything. Just then one day Miss Ganguly came to me and ask me to help her in return to India. I was very shocked because I didn't expect something so sudden. However, when she told me
that she didn't want to see Marco ever again, that's when I realized that something must have happened between them. After asking for some time she revealed that he was playing with her heart and she had seen him getting cozy with some other girl. So, she wanted to go far away from him. I have already told you about Marco's Playboy ways so I wasn't very shocked to hear Miss Ganguly's words. However, she asked me not to tell you anything, and I also thought that you would only worry more so I decided not to tell you anything." He explains while looking at me with a sad expression. I want to stay mad at me buy seeing him so sad I decide to forgive him. I put my head on his chest while looking at him with a stern look.
"If you ever again hide something from me then next time I will not talk to you for a complete one year. So think before you do something like this again, now close your eyes and let me sleep too." I tell him and close my eyes. I feel his chest vibrate indicating that he is laughing so I smack his chest lightly.
"Stop laughing and sleep." I order him.
"As you say, my queen." He replies while tucking my head close to his chest. He kisses the top of my head making me snuggle closer to his warmth.

Two months later
"Come on Mama Melody just a little more than you will be completely ready." Olivia says while putting highlighter on Mama Melody's cheekbones. On the other hand, Bianca and I try to control our laugh seeing the annoying look on Mama Melody's face.
Today is her and Uncle Gabriel's wedding. So, we are getting ready for the ceremony. Just as they have wanted, the wedding ceremony is going to be held in the backyard of our mansion. Although I am extremely sad that Mama Melody will be leaving us but at the same time I am very happy for her too because finally she will be able to stay with the love of her life.
Finally, the time comes for the bride to get into the aisle so we gather around her. She is looking so pretty in her wedding gown that I am sure Uncle Gabriel won't be able to take his eyes off after seeing her. However, when the door opens in the room where we are getting ready, Mama Melody's face falls seeing Liam coming inside. I know that she has wanted Alessandro to walk her down the aisle at her wedding but he said that he would be too busy to walk her down.
Mama Melody wipes a lone tear that falls from her eyes and smiles at us while my heart pains seeing her so upset on her special day. She gives her hand to Liam who shakes his head making us confused. Suddenly, we hear footsteps coming closer to the room so we look at the doorway and notice that Alessandro is standing there with a mischievous smile. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"What have I told you about crying, haa? You really look ugly whenever you cry and with all the makeup on your face, you are looking more like a zombie." Alessandro comments while coming inside the room. However, this time I don't want to hit him because finally, he has decided to listen to me. Yes, I have tried to get understand that he needs to accept his emotions for Mama Melody.
"Thank you so much for coming here, Alessandro. I didn't think that you would come here." Mama Melody says looking grateful.
"It's my responsibility as your son to walk you down the aisle." Alessandro replies surprising all of us.
"What did you just say?" Mama Melody asks with a trembling voice.
"You are really getting old, don't you? I have said that you are my mother so only I have the right to walk you down the aisle. Also, I need to threaten Uncle Gabriel that if he doesn't take good care of you then he has to face your son." Alessandro with a joking tone but I am sure everyone can hear the truth in his voice. Mama Melody throws her arms around Alessandro's neck while heavy sobs leaves from her mouth. I also wipe my tears and I can see that everyone is doing the same thing.
"Oh no, I have to retouch your makeup again." Olivia complains after Alessandro pulls away from the hug. He wipes Mama Melody's tears with his palms and ask her makeup done again.

Alessandro's POV:-
We clap our hands after the priest announces that the wedding is completed. I can still remember the shocking faces of everyone when I referred to myself as Melody's son, especially Uncle Gabriel who lost his balance for a few seconds when I threatened him that I would harm him if try hurt my Mama. Yes, finally I have decided to call Melody Mama because that's what she is to me.
The wedding is followed by a small reception party with only some close persons. Everyone has smiles on their faces except Marco who looks like he doesn't want to be here anymore. He has tried to get Miss Ganguly to forgive him and start over again but she has refused to listen to him. Not only that, he has told me that she is already dating someone so he doesn't want to get between her relationship. Anupama and I both think that this will be the best thing to do because it's Miss Ganguly's life and she has every right to do what she feels like.
Finally, the time comes when we have to say goodbye to the newlywed couple. Mama comes in front of me and I give her a big smile but my smile fades away seeing tears gather around the corner of her eyes.
"What happened? Did someone say anything to you?" I ask her although I know that no one will say anything bad to her because everyone respect and love her.
"No one has said anything to me." She replies with a sniffle.
"Then why are you crying again? I have thought that you will be happy after getting married but it seems that you are not happy with the marriage." I tell her jokingly but get a swat in the arm from her.
"I am crying because of you." She replies making me confuse.
"Why? What have I done to make you cry?" I ask her.
"Because finally you have called her Mama. She has been waiting to hear you call her Mama for so many years but you have decided to call her Mama on the day when she will be leaving. That's why she is crying." Uncle Gabriel says while coming to stand beside Mama. I heave a sigh before pulling Mama for a hug. I rub her back and tells her to calm down.
"I am sorry for being so stupid to accept the truth, Mama. But not anymore, so stop crying and go live your life happily with your husband." I tell her after pulling away from the hug.
"You are not stupid Sandro. You are just scared to accept the truth because you think that if you accept the truth then something can snatch away your happiness. But I know that Anupama is here for you so you don't need to fear anything. Keep her happy always and also I want to hear good news soon. So, get in working." She replies with a smile. I chuckle and kiss the top of her head. After that, we bid each other goodbye.

It's been one week since the marriage and I have been busy with a new deal. Currently, I am in a meeting to discuss everything about the deal. After two hours of long debate, we decide that we are going to work together. I bid them goodbye and get out of the board room. I get inside my cabin but gets shocked to see that there is a flower bouquet resting on my desk and pecked lunch box. I notice a note between the flower so I pick it up and open the note. My face breaks into a smile seeing the sweet message from my Cara.
"Don't forget to eat your lunch and get some rest after your meetings. I am going to cook something of your favorite so come soon because I have something to tell you.
Love you,
Your Cara."
My brows furrow because she is saying this for some days that she has something to tell me. But whenever I ask her what it is, she replies that she will tell me another time. I am getting worried because I don't know if she is in some trouble or not. But I know that I have to wait for her to tell me.
So, without wasting much time I get in working mood and start to work on some deals. Between work, I eat my lunch which is packed by my beautiful wife. Talking about my wife, I suddenly remember that she is having some problem in her company as she is not able to get to sign a deal. So, I call Samuel and ask him to get the information about the company which is not cooperating with my wife's company. I don't care if she wants my help or not because I will help her by hook or by crook.
I complete my work by 5 PM and decide to leave early because my Cara is waiting for me at home. I leave the company building after informing Bianca of my departure and tell her to go home too. I get inside my car and the driver starts driving the car. Soon, the car stops in front of the mansion and I get out to go inside. I call out for my princess and the boys who come running to me. I give all of them the toys I have ordered for them which they love very much. They all run back to the playroom with their toys to play.
However, a sudden scream make me startle but without wasting any time I run to the source of the scream which has come from the kitchen. Upon arriving there my eyes widen in fear seeing my Cara laying on the floor unconscious while the maids are sprinkling water on her.
"What happened to her?" I ask after picking her in my arms.
"We don't know Sir, She was making dinner and suddenly she fell down on the floor while mumbling that she is feeling dizzy." One of the maids reply. I nod my head and take my Cara upstairs before putting her in our bed. I dial Mrs. Ganguly's number and when she picks up the call I tell her to come
asap because Anhuphama has lost consciousness. She replies that she will be home soon. I sit beside Anhuphama and rub her hands which calling out for her to wake up.
Nearly twenty minutes later Mrs. Ganguly burst into the room followed by Mr. Ganguly. She asks me to wait outside of the room because she needs to check Anhuphama. I get out of the room and wait for her to finish checking up my Cara. I pace back and forth in front of the room because it feels the same as the day of the ball. I don't know what happened to her but I know one thing that I will die if something is wrong with her. She has suffered already so much then why God you are making her suffer more.
Suddenly, the bedroom door opens and Mrs. Ganguly comes out of the room as if she has seen some ghost. My throat feels dry just seeing the look on her face but the next words that come out of her mouth are something I haven't thought about.
"Anupama is pregnant."
