Anupama's POV:-
I am getting ready for the birthday celebration of Advira who is turning 3 years old today. I have already gotten her ready because that girl can not stop running towards the backyard and living room in awe seeing all the decorations. This is the first time she is going to experience a real birthday party which is being organized by her favorite person, her papa. It still amazes me at the bond between Alessandro and Advira because the two of them can't go without seeing each other. Not only that, Advira also behaves like her papa.
I decide to wear a long Anarkali salwar because it's getting hard for me to feel comfortable with wearing dresses because of my growing belly. I also keep my makeup simple as I don't like to put a lot.
After coming out of my room I go in search of my daughter who is nowhere near me. But then Marco informs me that she is in the backyard playing with some kids. I thank him before start walking towards the backyard.
"Tesoro, come here." I hear Alessandro calling out to me so I turn towards him to see that he is talking to Kakai who leaves from there to give us some alone time.
"Are you feeling okay?" Alessandro asks while putting his palm on my belly.
"I am absolutely alright." I reply with a smile.
"Are you sure you don't want to go to the doctor? Or we can ask Mrs. Ganguly to look at you." He suggests making me roll my eyes at his constant nagging. So, I put my hands around his neck before laying my head on his chest.
"Our little bean and I are completely fine so stop worrying about us. Today is a very important day for our daughter so I want you to concentrate on her." I tell him softly.
"That I am going to do but it doesn't mean that I won't worry about you and our little bean." He replies kissing the top of my head making me smile.
"By the way, you are looking very gorgeous." He comments after I pull away from the hug.
"Thank you." I reply with a blush coating my cheeks making him laugh.
"Stop laughing." I whine while holding my cheeks with my palms.
"Okay." He replies still laughing so I huff and walk away from him.
I come in front of Mamoni and Riya who are talking with some of our neighbors. Upon seeing me they start asking me about my health and other things. After talking to them for some time I excuse myself to go look for baba who is still inside the house. But before I can go inside I see that Jasmine di is making her way to the party with baba in his wheelchair.
"Where is Advira?" Baba asks me looking here and there for his granddaughter.
"Me here boro dadu." Advira replies running towards us holding the mini mouse plushie her father has gotten her.
"You are looking so cute Vira." Jasmine di comments looking at Advira who smiles brightly.
"Tank you Mami." Advira replies before going towards baba who is holding a small box in his hands.
"Happy Birthday baby. Here is your gift from me." Baba says while putting his hand on top of Advira's head. He pulls the box open revealing a set of gold bracelet and ring. He takes Advira's hand before putting them on her ring finger and wrist.
"So pwetty." Advira mumbles in awe before hugging her grandpa.
"Tank you boro dadu. Me lub you." Advira says with a big smile on her face.
"You are welcome, dear. I love you too." Baba replies sadly making me confuse as why he is looking so sad.
"Vira, why don't we go and ask Riya mashi to play with you." Jasmine di says when I give her signal that I need to talk to baba alone.
"Okie dokie." Advira responds and runs out of there with Jasmine di on her toes. I turn towards baba who is looking down at the floor so I push his wheelchair for a few seconds before stopping in front of a chair to sit down.
"Now tell me, why are you looking so sad?" I ask baba.
"It's just I have never accepted her as my granddaughter before but now I want to fulfill my all duty as a grandfather to her. I can see why you love her so much like your own. I was a fool to not see it before." Baba replies making me gulp because I really want to tell him everything. But that will cause more problems which I don't want.
