Alessandro's POV:-
Love is such a troublesome thing, one time it will make you feel like you are at the top of the world, and the next moment you will start to think if it's real or not. I can take my own example because I am the same person who used to think that love is a waste of time but now anyone can see the lovesick look I wear every time I glance at my beloved wife. Just like at this moment, like a creepy person I am looking at my wife who is sleeping peacefully while laying her head on my bicep as if it's a pillow for her to rest. Although I don't mind being her pillow but I want to squish her chubby cheeks so badly that my hands have started to itch.
I wanted to spend another day in the cabin but both of us have our companies to run so I didn't tell her about my feeling. It's alright we can come here some other time. Suddenly, my phone starts ringing bringing my attention back from my sleeping wife. I take out the phone from my pant's pocket with a little difficulty not wanting to wake up Anhuphama. I look at the caller ID to see that Marco is calling me.
"Thank God finally you have picked up my call bro." That's the first thing I hear after picking Marco's call.
"Why are you sounding like a dying whale Marco? And if I remember correctly then I told you earlier that I would be unavailable for some days then why the hell did you call me non-stop?" I ask while wrapping my arms around Anhuphama who has finally decided to leave my biceps alone. Thankfully she doesn't wake up instead she snuggles close to my chest.
"I know that bro but I can not wait for you to come back here. Because I am in dying need to know about Riya's whereabouts." He says while sounding really stressed. He doesn't know that Miss Ganguly has gone back to India and I am intending to keep it from him till he realizes his mistakes. He thinks that he has the right to play with anyone's heart but not every girl is naive enough to wait for him. That's why I didn't think twice before accepting Miss Ganguly's request when she asked for my help to go back to her country.
"Why do need to know about her whereabouts? It's not like she is someone important to you otherwise you wouldn't have rejected her like you do with other girls." I reply getting angry with my stupid best friend.
"Look, Alessandro I know what I have done is wrong and I am already regretting it. But please, tell me where she is now. I want to make everything better between us, I want to tell her what I feel is real. Please bro just help me last time." He pleads however Anhuphama takes my phone from me before I can reply to him.
"I knew it from the start that you are the reason why my sister is in so much pain and why she has left so suddenly. But I am still going to give you a chance to make everything better between both of you. My sister is hurting badly but she will not say anything from her mouth. That's why I want you to go to her and tell her about your feelings. She has gone back to India and she is intending to stay there forever. So, do what you need to do to get her to forgive you because remember that Riya is a determined girl who will not accept your apology so easily." Anhuphama tells Marco while giving me a glare making me gulp in fear. She hands me back the phone and looks out of the window ignoring my pleading looks. I sigh before telling Marco that I will call him later.
The rest of the ride home she gives me cold shoulder whenever I try to talk to her. I understand that I should have told her about Miss Ganguly's sudden departure but I didn't want her to worry about anything other than her health. After the incident at the annual ball, I have been having a hard time controlling my protective urges for her. Like whenever I don't see her for a few hours I start to get worried that something has happened to her so I try to stay close to her as much as possible.
Upon arriving in front of the mansion, I get out of the car first and then open her side of the door. However, this time she doesn't let me hold her hand and give me an angry look which promises a good amount of no talking from her.
So, I silently follow her inside the house and let her cool down for now. I notice that the house is quite silent than usual days so that means my princess and her brothers must be taking naps.
"You guys come early." Mrs. Ganguly comments while walking towards us with a smile. Anhuphama goes forward and hugs her before asking her where our daughter is.
"Advira is taking her afternoon nap in her room." Mrs. Ganguly replies.
"But where is Melody? And the boys?" I ask while taking the water glass from one of the maids.
"Melody has gone to meet Uncle Gabriel who is going to leave for Switzerland for a business trip. Though She will be back in a few hours. About the boys, they are also napping with Advira in her room." Mrs. Ganguly answers back making me nod my head in response.
"Jasmine di I am going to my room and get changed. I have something to tell you so can you come with me?" Anhuphama asks Mrs. Ganguly who looks at me with a raised brow because of Anhuphama's blank expression. I signal her to go with Anhuphama and when finally they get away from there I release a sigh of relief because angry Anhuphama is an intimidating Anhuphama for sure.
I start walking upstairs and stops in front of my princess's room before opening the door to see that my daughter is sleeping on her toddler bed while her brothers are sleeping on the rug on the floor.
I don't want to disturb their sleep so I lightly close the door and walk away from there. I go to my bedroom but find the bedroom locked from inside making me realize that my angry wife must have locked the door. So, I get into a spare guestroom and decide to relax there for some time.

Anupama's POV:-
"How can he hide something so big from me di? Am I not his wife whom he promised to tell every little thing? But now look he has already broken his promise." I tell Jasmine di who is sitting on my bed crisscross. I have already changed my clothes and started to rant in front of her.
"Anu I am not saying that what he has done is correct but I think you should talk to him first and hear what he wants to say." She replies while petting the side of the bed for me to sit. I grumble under my breath before sitting down beside her. She looks at me with an amused expression while trying hard to stop her from laughing at me.
"All of you are the same. You only know how to irritate me and anger me." I say making her laugh loudly.
"Oh my God Anu! What happened to you? You never behaved like this before ao what's going on? Don't tell me you are going to give Mr. Bianchi the cold shoulder till he apologizes to you." She teases me while bumping her shoulder with me. I lightly shove her and sit there crossing my hands in front of my chest with a pout.
"Okay, I will not tease you anymore, but still I think you should listen to him for once. Then again you are angry with your husband so it's your decision what to do." She says making me realize that she is correct. I know that Alessandro must have some reason for not telling me about Riya and Marco. But that still didn't give him the right to hide something from me.
"I understand your point di but I want him to realize that he doesn't need to hide something from me. I want him to share everything with me so that we don't need to argue over such small things." I reply.
"Don't worry Anu, just tell him what you want him to do and I am sure that he will definitely agree with you." She says with a genuine smile. I smile too but then a thought comes in my mind making the smile slip from my face. Jasmine di notices my expression because she asks me what I am thinking.
"Di, I have another thing to tell you." I say to her.
"Yes, tell me Anu." She says with an encouraging smile.
"I want to tell everything to Alessandro. Everything about my past and most importantly about my infertility." I tell her and notice the way she gets tensed suddenly.
"What do you mean you are going to tell him, Anu? I know you have to tell him about your infertility but don't you think it's quite early for him to know everything?" She asks looking uneasy.
