Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 39

Alessandro's POV:-

"Papa wakey up. Me wan pwesent." My princess says trying to wake me up but I don't open my eyes just to tease her.

"Mum-mum say Papa wakey up. Nonna tell Santa come so me open pwesent with broders." I try to control my laugh hearing her complaining to her mother.

"But baby Papa is sleeping so you should not wake him up. Let him sleep, you can open presents later." Anhuphama reply playing along with me.

"Me angly now, me call broders." Our daughter mumble while I feel her climbing out of the bed before she leaves the room while calling out for her brothers. I lift the blanket off my body and look at my wife who is giving me a disappointing look. I stand up from the bed before hugging her from behind while she put the red powder between her hairline. I don't understand why she needs to put this powder every day on her hairline but she once told me that it's good for my long life and she will be putting it every day.

"How can you tease our daughter on Christmas Day?" Anhuphama asks while looking at me through the mirror. I kiss her neck before turning her around to face me.

"I am just having fun, Cara. It's so cute to see her getting frustrated with me." I reply while she puts her arms around my neck.

"Everything aside, you need to talk to Uncle Gabriel because he still thinks that you are angry with him. Yesterday, we were all supposed to celebrate Christmas Eve at their house but because of your stubbornness, we didn't get to do that. So, the first thing you need to do today is that you are going to apologize to Mama Melody and Uncle Gabriel. Also, you are going to give your permission for their marriage." I try to object but with the stern expression she is giving me, I can not say no to her. So, I nod my head in response making her happy.

"Merry Christmas Alessandro." She wishes with a smile.

"Merry Christmas Cara." I reply before putting a kiss on her forehead. After that I go to freshen up as fast as I can because I don't want my princess to get angrier with me. Upon arriving in the living room I notice that my princess is sitting on the floor by the Christmas tree with a pouty look while her brothers are sitting around her with the same dull look.

"Merri Christmas my babies." I wish them but none of them give me a slight glance.

"They are angry with you Mr. Bianchi for making them wait." Miss Ganguly comments while coming out of the kitchen.

"Oh I see. So my babies are angry because they are not able to open their presents without me. But do you think they are good enough to get presents from Santa Miss Ganguly?" I ask while making a thinking face.

"Hmm, that's an important question, Mr. Bianchi. What do you think guys? Are you being good all the year to get nice presents from Santa?" Miss Ganguly asks.

"Me bery good Mashi. Broders good too. So now give pwesents." My princess demands and her brothers bark along with her to show their support.

"Okay then first come to Papa and give him kisses so you will get to open your pwesents." I tell them and crouch down to their level. They come running to my open arms before I get kisses and licks from my babies. Everyone laughs seeing their excitement and sit down on the living room's couch where the presents will be distributed. I ask Anhuphama to bring our daughter's gift first because she is being the most impatient one right now.

"Here is your present piccolo from me." I say and hand her the wrapped gift which she takes happily. Mr. Ganguly helps her in opening the gift and when she does her eyes sparkle with bliss. I have given her a pair of custom made shoes and a brand new collection of Barbie dolls.

"Thank Papa much. Me lub you." She lets out with a toothy smile. I put her on my lap and kiss her on the nose.

"I love you too my cute princess." I reply. It's my first time sharing gifts with others on Christmas because earlier I used to think that these traditions are useless. But after marrying Anhuphama I have learned a lot of new things and started to believe them.

One by one I give everyone presents and by seeing their expressions I can guess that they have liked what I have given them. My furry boys have gotten a bunch of toys and treats from everyone too. The last present I have is for my wife, my Cara who is smiling ear to ear just by seeing the happy faces around her. That's the first thing I love about her, she feels happy just by making others happy.

I ask her to come and sit beside me. She looks kind of confuse but does as I have asked her to do. I give her the gift I have been preparing for her for some days. She takes the gift and open it carefully. I bit my lip in nervousness because I don't know if she will like the gift or not. When finally she unwraps the gift she gasps in surprise before her eyes glisten with tears.

"Cara please don't cry. I know it is a horrible gift bu-" I can not complete my sentence before I feel her hug me tightly while everyone gives me confusing looks.

"It's not a horrible gift Alessandro. It's a very thoughtful gift so thank you so much." She says after pulling away from the sudden hug. She wipes her tears and gives me a big smile before she shows everyone the gift I have given her. It's a painting of her from our reception party. She was looking so gorgeous that day that I thought to paint her and present it to her for Christmas day. I know she likes simple things so I haven't bought anything expensive for her, instead I have chosen to give her something I used to love doing during my college days.

It's now the next day after Christmas and I am now in the park with my princess and the dogs. Anhuphama also wanted to tag along with us but I told her that I want to have a father-kids day. So, here I am playing with my babies who are having so much fun.

"Papa me high." My princess shrieks and giggles in happiness while clutching her rabbit stuffed toy close to her chest. I laugh along with her before I put pressure on the other hand of the seesaw.

"Princess do you want to play in the swing?" I ask her after I pick her up in my arms.

"Yes, please." She replies with a big smile. I walk towards the swings before putting her on an available swing in the park. I pull the swing back a little before letting it swing by itself. My princess is laughing and clapping her hands in delight all the time I pull back the swing. I take out a ball from my track pant and throw it towards the dogs who starts to chase it. Fonsie gets the ball first so he comes running to me with the ball in his mouth.

"Good boy Fonsie. Here is a treat for winning." I tell him and feed him a small biscuit which is baked by Melody. Speaking of Melody, I haven't talked to her about what happened at the Christmas dinner party and I know that she is dying to know about my decision regarding her marriage to Uncle Gabriel.

It's funny to just think about how much they care about my decision as if I am someone older than them. But it also shows how much respect they have for me and that's why I have asked Marco to come here with me to the park. Because I have also mistreated him for no reason.

"Hey sweetie how are you doing?" Marco asks my princess after standing beside me.

"Me play swing Uncle Malco." My princess replies. I slow down the swing and take her out of the swing before putting her on the ground.

"Baby, Papa has to talk with Uncle Marco so be a good girl and go play with your brothers," I tell her and she nods her head in response. She runs straight to her brothers and starts to play.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" Marco asks.

"Can't I just spent some time with my best friend?" I ask in return but only get a huff in return.

"Both of us know that you hate to spend a single minute with me nowadays. So, tell me the truth already." He says making me sigh.

"I don't hate to spend time with you, Marco. It's just that you annoy the hell out of me some time so it's better to stay away from you." I reply.

"That's what best friends are for, don't you think?" He asks with a smirk.

"Look I didn't ask you to come here to irritate me. I ask you to come here because I want to talk about Melody and Uncle Gabriel's wedding." I tell him.

"Are you not happy with their decision?" He asks nervously. I look at him with a genuine smile and put my hand on his shoulder.

"You are looking angry Alessandro." I tell him.

"You are correct Cara. I am extremely angry at myself." He replies.

"But why? What did you do to think like that?" I ask worriedly.

"Samuel has called me sometime back and informed me that the police have caught the culprit who is behind the accident in the party. He is a very trusted employee of my company so I don't understand why he would do something so dangerous. The police have been trying to get him to tell them the reason but for some reason, he is not opening his mouth. So I have decided to interrogate him by myself." He explains making me clutch his hand tightly.

"But I don't get it why are you angry at yourself?" I ask confusingly.

"Cara your safety is my responsibility but I think I am not doing it properly, or how can someone from my company would try to harm you? I know you might think that I am talking rubbish but believe me, I know what I am saying. I also have an idea of who is the real mastermind behind the accident." He replies.

"Who do you think that person is?" I ask.

"Samantha White." He replies in anger.

"She is the only one who can try to harm you because she still thinks that she has a chance to be with me. What she doesn't know that trying to even harm a hair of you will only bring her close to her end. I am not going to let her play her so-called dirty games this time and her first punishment is already on the way." He explains while looking at me with a smirk. He has a crazy glint in his eyes, something I haven't seen before. He is looking like a completely different Alessandro which makes me feel a little scared for Samantha. I know whatever he is planning to do with her is not something good but I can not tell him no because he won't listen to anything when it comes to the safety of his family. I just hope that nothing will happen to him in the process of keeping us safe from danger.

Finally, the time comes when we have to say goodbye to Riya. I wanted to accompany her to the airport but she is not letting me go with her. Advira is crying not wanting her Mashi to leave, it kind of funny to see them so close because a few months ago Riya used to hate my daughter. But now they are inseparable from each other. The same thing happened with the dogs, in the start they used to loathe Riya but now they seem to like her company.

"I am going to come back soon baby or you can come to meet me in India." Riya tells Advira who only shakes her head.

"You no go mashi. Me cry lot. No mashi no go." Advira says with little hiccups.

"Aww don't cry Advira. Look if you cry then mashi will cry too. Do you want me to cry?" Riya asks with a pout.

"Me no wan mashi cry." Advira answers immediately.

"Then you are going to let mashi go because mashi has some important works to do. But after completing the works mashi will come back to you." Riya says making Advira nods her head repeatedly. I wipe my tears before looking at Riya who comes towards me. I open my arms and feel her hugs me tightly. I rub her back gently trying to feel her better. I know Marco is somehow the reason behind her sudden departure. But I am not going to force her to stay here because maybe a little time of separation can make things better for both of them.

"I will be waiting for you to come to Kolkata and this time I am not going to bother you." Riya says after pulling away from the hug.

"I am going to miss you Riya." I tell her.

"Me too Anu. Now, I have to go or I will be late." She replies with a small smile and walks out of the mansion leaving us behind. I feel a hand snake around my waist making me look at Alessandro who gives me an assuring smile.
