Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 58

Anupama's POV:-

"What's wrong, Anu?" Dadabhai asks after I am done with talking with Alessandro.

"Marco is on his way to Sengupta mansion." I reply making him huff.

"What does he want now?" He asks angrily.

"I may have suggested him to come here to stop Riya's marriage." I let out sheepishly while he gives me a 'are you serious' look.

"Don't give me that look, dadabhai. He came to me a few days ago and started to question me why I wasn't trying to stop Riya's marriage. So, I got angry and asked him to do it by himself. However, I didn't think that he would really come here so quickly." I explain with a sigh.

"I understand your point of view Anu but now what? Marco is not like Alessandro who is calm and calculated. Marco will definitely going to cause havoc and I don't know how mom or didon are going to take this." He replied looking lost.

"I am not stressed about them, I am thinking about Riya. We all know that why she left LA so hurriedly and I can't even imagine what will happen when she sees Marco after so long time." I say getting worried.

"Let's just hope that we will be able to handle the situation." He lets out making me nod my head. I walk inside the room where baba is staying currently. Now, that he is out of danger the doctor has told us that baba doesn't need to stay in the ICU. After arriving inside the room I notice that baba is sleeping so I get near him and sit down in the chair in front of the hospital bed. I look at him sadly because I have never seen him so weak. He has always been the backbone of the Sengupta family and now seeing him laying in a hospital bed, my heart is hurting.

I know he has done very bad to me out of anger because he believes that I am the reason behind my mother's death and it's kind of true. Because after giving birth to me, she left this earth. I feel a lump growing in my throat remembering all the taunt, harsh words my father has told me in which resulted in tears rolling down my face. But when I try to lift my hand to wipe them, a hand stops me. I look at the hand to see that baba is the one who is holding my hand while he has tears running down the side of his face.

"What's wrong baba? Are you hurting somewhere? Wait, I will get the doctor for you." I say getting worried but he doesn't release my hand making me confuse.

"I am alright, Anupama." He says with a hoarse voice. I wipe his tears with my dupatta not understanding what's going on with him.

"If you are alright then why are you crying?" I ask worriedly.

"I am crying because my daughter is crying." He answers back.

"I am not crying baba. Something is making my eyes itchy and that's why my eyes are getting watery." I reply but I think he has already seen through my lie.

"I know I have never been a perfect father to you but I can understand when my daughter is hurting. I have always neglected your pain because of my negative thoughts that resolve around your mother's death. I have tried to get past my negativity many times but every time your mother, Durga's face appeared in front of my eyes making my anger win." He says with difficulties.

"Baba please don't talk anymore. We will talk after you get better. Please rest for now." I try to make him understand because I can see that he is getting tired.

"No, I have a lot to say." He replies while taking a long breath.

"I know that and we will talk as much as you want. But not now, you are going to sleep and that's my order." I tell him sternly while he smiles sadly.

"You are just like your mother." He whispers before closing his eyes. I run my hand through his hair with a sigh before getting up from the chair. I close the door on my way out and dial Alessandro's number. But he doesn't receive my call which is totally out of his habits. I look forward to see that Kakai is coming towards me alone with dadabhai. When they get near me I inform them that I am going to the Sengupta mansion because I am not feeling well. Both insist to come with me but I assure them that I can go by myself. Also, there is a car waiting for me outside which is assigned by Alessandro so I get out of the hospital before asking the driver to take me to the Sengupta mansion.

Upon reaching there I hurriedly get inside in fear of Marco doing something problematic. However, I hear laughing sounds coming from the living room so I directly go there to see that Marco is talking to Pishimaa and Thakurmaa who are looking very pleased to have him here. Riya is nowhere near them but Alessandro is there with a smirk on his face.

"Finally, you are here." Marco says aloud before coming to hug me.

"Play along with me." He whispers in my ear before pulling away from the hug with a big smile on his face. I don't know what he is playing but I think it will be better if I cooperate with him for now.

"When did you get here, Marco?" I ask after sit beside Alessandro who puts his hand on my stomach protectively making me smile.

"I just got here half an hour ago. When I heard from Mama what happened to your father I got so worried that I came here as soon as I can." Marco replies making Alessandro choke on his spit while I am trying hard not to laugh.

"You are such a generous person, Mr. Davis." Pishimaa comments with a pleased look.

"Oh please call me Marco. I am the same age as your son so it doesn't suit you to be so formal with me." Marco replies with a gentle tone.

"I will remember it from the next time. You can stay here as long as you want because I am sure borda will be thrilled to meet you. Right, maa?" Pishima lets out before looking at thakurmaa for confirmation.

"Of course, Marco will be staying here. He is our guest and we know how to take care of our guest." Thakurmaa replies.

"Just like they are taking care of us." Alessandro mumbles making me nudge him on the rib to keep quiet. After some time pishimaa and thakurmaa leaves from there.

"You understand that you are deceiving them, right?" I ask Marco.

"They are easy to manipulate so seeing a billionaire in their house is a very big deal for them. Although I am sorry that I have to use your father's accident as my reason for coming here but I gotta do what I need to get back Riya." Marco replies with a shrug of his shoulders.

"But you should have at least told us before coming here. I could have helped you in another way." Alessandro lets out.

"Man I know what I have done is a hectic step but I didn't have any other solution in my mind at that time. Also, there is only one month left in Riya's marriage and I need to stop it." Marco replies making me understand his point of view.

"That's alright and don't worry we will definitely help you." I say while giving him thumbs up for his determination.

"By the way, you need to talk to Miss Ganguly because she is clearly Upset seeing Marco here." Alessandro lets out with a sigh.

"I will go and talk to her. She needs to understand that by doing something she doesn't want is not going to help her. If she really thinks that by marrying the person chosen by pishimaa will make her happy then I will let her do it. But if she is marrying the person just to get rid of Marco then she has to face me because I am not going to let her do it." I reply and get up from my place to go in search of Riya.

******

When I reach Riya'a room I knock on the door but don't get any response. So, I decide to go inside because the door is not closed from inside. I notice that she is sitting on her bed with her head buried in her knees. I can see her body shook indicating that she is crying. I walk towards the bed before sitting beside her. I put my hand on her head making her look at me with red puffy eyes. I feel my heartbreak seeing the strong girl crying so I do the only thing I know that will help her. I open my arms making her hug me tightly while her body rack with sobs.

"Why did he come here?" Riya asks still crying.

"Because he wants to make everything better between you both." I reply while rubbing her back gently.

"But I don't want him to make anything better." She mutters before pulling away from the hug. She wipes her tears harshly with her palms and gets out of the bed before getting inside the washroom. Five minutes later she comes out looking a little fresh so I know that she must have washed her face to get rid of the tear stains.

"What do you mean you don't want him to make anything better?" I ask after she sits down on the bed.

"I mean what I have said because there is nothing left between us. Actually, I don't think there was anything between us from the start. I was just a plaything to him which he played till he got bored. Also, I was going through some bad stuff at that time so I did what I thought was correct. But now I don't want to dwell in the past where there was no happiness. I am getting married to a person who is chosen by my mother and I intend to spend my life with that person." She confess as if she wasn't crying a few minutes ago. I can understand how much pain she must be feeling seeing the person she once loved so much. But despite it, she can not change the fact that she still has some feelings left for Marco.

"Okay as long as you are happy. By the way, I want to go to the market to get something for everyone." I tell her.

"Why are you getting things for everyone?" She asks looking confused.

"It's my first time coming here after my marriage so I need to get something for everyone. It's a good thing to do." I reply making her understand.

"Okay, then when are we going?" She asks.

"Today, I want to take rest because this little one is making me very tired lately so I think we will go tomorrow." I let out while running my hand on the baby bump with a smile.

"It's good to see you so happy Anu and I am sure that my nephew or niece will bring a lot more joy in your life." She comments making me nod my head in response.
