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.
"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.
