Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 11

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.

"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.
