Chapter 11: Ch.10/ Drama Unfold
Anupama's POV:-
The guests are busy mingling with each other at the party when suddenly the lights turn off. I get scared because I don't like dark. I was already so tensed with the marriage but now I start to panicked because of the trauma I have with dark. I try to find Mamoni or Jasmine di but how I can find them in such dark. However, a rough yet soft hand takes my hand in their own, I try to pull away but the person doesn't let me.
"Shh don't panic, it's me." Mr. Bianchi says from my side.
"Ca-n you pl-e-ase leav-e my h-and?" I ask while stuttering. But he doesn't get to reply as we both get distracted by the sound of music. The lights turn on while some people start to dance in the music but then a particular person comes forward before starting to dance in much revealing clothes.
I unconsciously squeeze Mr. Bianchi's hand that is holding my hand already because Riya is surely planning something bad. The way she is looking at Mr. Bianchi with desire is enough to tell me how she is feeling and what she can do to ruin the party. But that's not what I am fearing the most. Neither Baba nor Thakurmaa have ever seen Riya in such clothes because for them she is the perfect girl. Also, she is looking drunk by the way she is swaying side by side. Suddenly, she comes towards us before pulling Mr. Bianchi with her. I let go of Mr. Bianchi's hand because I don't want her to cause more drama than she has done already. She starts to dance around Mr. Bianchi who is looking very angry before the music stops playing. Dadabhai slaps her hard before telling Mr. Bianchi to sit beside me.
"What do you think you are doing Riya?" Dadabhai asks angrily but Riya only laughs like a madwoman. I look at Baba to see that he is looking shock by Riya's behavior.
"I am just dancing dadabhai. Our sweet little Anupama has gotten married to such a fine man so I am celebrating in my own way." Her words are completely slurred proving me right that she is drunk.
"Are you drunk Riya?" Thakurmaa asks with a surprise.
"Yep, I am drunk," Riya replies before trying to walk towards Thakurmaa but Dadabhai pulls her by holding on to her elbow. She tries to get out of his hold but Dadabhai's grip on her hand only tightens more.
"I want to let you all know that we are stopping the party here. But please don't go without eating the meal we have prepared for you all. Mihir will be showing you where we are serving the meal." Baba says while holding his palms together. Kakai starts to guide the guests towards the food cart where the food will be served. When the guests leave Baba comes near Riya with a disappointed look. He has always loved her more than anyone so seeing her like this must be very difficult for him.
"Why did you do such thing Riya?" Baba asks calmly.
"Do you really want to know?" She asks back with a pout. Baba nods her head in response. She then looks at me with so much disgust as if my presence is making her sick.
"Because Anupama has gotten what is supposed to be mine. I am the one who should be the one to marry Alessandro but no. You have to marry your daughter with the one I love. You have snatched my man without thinking about my feelings. I am supposed to be married today, not her who can only bring bad luck to everyone." She replies while tears streaming down her face. I feel Mr. Bianchi stiffens when Riya said about me bringing bad luck. But to my surprise, he is looking angrily at Riya as if he wants to kill her.
"I didn't do anything Riya. Mr. Bianchi is the one who wanted to marry Anupama." Baba tries to reason with her but she shakes her head in denial. Pishimaa comes towards us before taking Riya in her arms.
"Shhh, my baby. Don't cry anymore, they don't deserve any of your precious tears." Pishimaa says in a gentle tone which she only uses on her lovely daughter.
"Kamini please you should understand why I did everything. I didn't know our Riya has feelings for Mr. Bianchi-" Pishimaa stops Baba from saying anything else.
"You don't need to give any explanation Borda. You have shown that your own blood is bigger than everything, otherwise you will not be able to marry your daughter to the man whom my daughter loves." She says accusingly before walking away with Riya leaving us shocked because she has never talked with Baba so badly. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
"Boro mama." Dadabhai says coming near Baba. Baba is sitting on a chair while looking miserable.
"Yes, Subho?" Baba asks with a pained voice.
"Whatever Riya or Maa did is not acceptable. I know I am also angry with you for marrying Anu with Mr. Bianchi but Riya or Maa has no rights in saying anything bad about Anu. I am asking sorry on behalf of them." Dadabhai says while folding his palms together.
"No, Subho. They are not wrong. I should have asked Riya about her feelings before finalizing anything. It's no one's fault but mine." Baba replies looking over at me with an emotion that is unknown to me.
"If you guys don't mind we will be taking our leave right now. I would like to let you all know that we will be leaving tomorrow at 12 pm for the airport as we have a flight to catch at 1 pm. So it will be better if we get back to our hotel soon." Mr. Bianchi says suddenly surprising us all. What is he talking about?
"But how can you leave like that? The groom should stay the night at the bride's house on the day of the marriage so you can not go from here." Thakurmaa replies in which Mr. Bianchi shakes his head.
"Sorry but I don't want to stay here after what that girl did. I am really shocked seeing you guys supporting that girl after watching what she has done. I am just trying to be polite otherwise I don't even
know what I would have done by now." He answers looking directly at Thakurmaa who is fuming in anger because Mr. Bianchi has directly insulted Riya.
"You can't talk about Riya like that. She is the daughter of Sengupta's." Thakurmaa snaps in anger.
"Tsk tsk tsk. She is not the only daughter of this family if I am not wrong. But I am not in the mood to chat with unimportant people like you. I have come here to marry Mr. Sengupta's daughter and when the marriage is already done I don't see any point to stay here." He replies with anger before turning towards me.
"Be ready at time because I hate tardiness." He says to me. I nod in answer because I don't want to get scolded by him. He seems to understand my fear because he gives me a small smile trying to ease the fear I am feeling.
"At least have some food before going." Kakai offers.
"No thanks. My appetite has died seeing all the drama." He replies before getting out of the house with Bianca and Samuel.

Alessandro's POV:-
It's been three hours since we have come back to the hotel from the Sengupta house. Currently, I am laying down on the bed feeling tired but sleep is nowhere in my eyes. I am still angry with the fact that Mr. Sengupta was blaming himself instead of punishing that girl for such nasty behavior in front of so many people. From the moment I have seen that girl, I hated her presence but after what she has done today, I really want to teach her a lesson for disrespecting my wife like that. How dare she calls Anhuphama a bad luck? The fuck she thinks of herself? I have thought that she is jealous of
Anhuphama but after seeing the drama tonight, I am sure there is more than jealousy or hate she has for Anhuphama. But I swear if she tries to insult my Anhuphama than no one will be able to stop me from punishing that girl.
"Wait what? Did I really just say my Anhuphama? Shit! Get a grip on yourself Alessandro. You are getting crazy day by day." I say to myself before turning on the left side of the bed. Anhuphama is surely messing with my mind. However, I have to admit she is very different than other girls. She is beautiful for sure but she is also very mature for her age because she didn't utter a single word to Miss Ganguly after the awful drama she had created at the party. Also, the way she had handled the situation the other day at the time of dinner, is the proof of her intelligence too. But what surprise me is that how can someone have so much tolerance? Why some of her family members seem to hate her so much? I will get all the answers eventually. I haven't married her to get her in my bed or in my arms, she has this effect on me from the moment I have seen her on the day of the dinner. I have never felt this protective towards anyone before, not even for Bianca I feel so protective who is nothing less than a little sister to me. I don't know why she always seems to be in pain or distress but one thing is for sure, I will be the one to ease her every pain. I don't know how will I do it, but I will that's for sure. With that thinking in mind, I fall asleep while holding a pillow against my chest.

The next day
"I really wanted to beat that Riya with my heels yesterday. How dare she touch my brother without his permission?" Bianca yells at the phone. Samuel and I chuckle seeing her pacing back and forth in her room. All of us have been discussing a project when Bianca's phone started to ring. From then onward she is busy talking with her husband Liam and when I mean talking, it's actually more like complaining about yesterday's drama. Liam is an incredible husband and father who loves Bianca and their daughters very much. When I first met him I didn't like him that much because whenever I asked him
anything he started to stutter while answering. But when I got to know him more, I realized that no one would be better than him for Bianca.
"How can you call me crazy? I am your one & only wife." Bianca whines while Samuel and I groan in irritation.
"Fine. If I am crazy than you are crazier then me. Now let me speak to my babies. They must be missing mommy very much." By saying this she is out of the room may be going to speak to her daughters in private.
"I hope she gets ready in time because she takes a lot of time to get ready." Samuel says while I stand up from the couch.
"Tell her to get ready in an hour or we will be late for the airport." I say before getting out of Bianca's room.
After an hour later we are on our way to Mr. Sengupta's house to pick up Anhuphama when my phone starts ringing. I receive the call without looking at the caller ID. I sit up straight while listening on the phone while I take deep breaths. When the call disconnects, I tell the driver to stop the car.
"What happen Alessandro? Why did you stop the car?" Bianca asks me while Samuel also nods.
"I have to meet a client right now. You guys go to Sengupta house. I will be there in half an hour." Saying this I get out of the car before hailing a cab to go to meet the client.
