Savior Of Her Heart

Chapter 6: Ch.5/ His Perfect Planning

"Voglio che tu informi Melody che sitamo portando qualcuno con noi," Alessandro orders Samuel when they reached the lobby of their hotel.

("I want you to inform Melody that we are bringing someone with us.")

"Di cosa parli capo?" Samuel asks with a perplexed expression.

("What are you talking about boss?")

Bianca is also shocked to hear such an order. Samuel and Bianca both know the Italian language so it's not hard for them to understand Alessandro's words.

"Ho intenzione di apportare alcune modifiche all'accordo," Alessandro replies while walking towards the elevator. They get in the elevator and press their floor number.

("I am going to have some changes done in the deal.")

"Cosa combia?" This time it is Bianca who asks the question.

("What changes?")

Because as much as she knew, there was nothing to change. But knowing Alessandro, you can never guess what goes in that mind of his.

"La voglio come mia moglie," Alessandro replies casually as if he is discussing about weather. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

("I want her as my wife.")

Both Samuel and Bianca's eyes get wide like saucers. They follow Alessandro when the elevator door opens in front of their floor.

"Di chi parli?" Bianca asks with a frightened voice when they stop in front of Alessandro's hotel room.

("Who are you talking about?")

He opens the room and three of them go inside. While Bianca and Samuel sits down on the couch, Alessandro moves near the window to look at the city. For some time he doesn't say anything but when he does, both Bianca and Samuel can't believe what they are listening to.

"Anhuphama Sengupta."

A few hours back

Anupama is feeling very happy as she is getting unexpected attention from everyone, especially from the guests. It seems like they are not strangers but the dear ones who she knows for a very long time. Although, she is feeling a little uncomfortable because as if someone has decided not to remove his intense gaze from her. On the other hand, Alessandro is unaware of the fact that he is making Anupama anxious because he is so busy in admiring her. But he is not liking the way she is avoiding him as if he is not important enough to have her attention. He doesn't know why he wants her attention so much because it's not in his nature. Not for once in his 32 years of existence he has felt this way for any other woman before. As if his gut is telling him to protect her at any cost.

Suddenly, Bianca turns towards Indrajit and asks if she can have a tour of the mansion. Indrajit says that she doesn't need to ask for permission to have a look at the house. At the very moment, Nayantara Devi suggests that Riya will be giving Bianca the tour but Bianca politely refuses the offer. She says that she wants Anupama to give her a tour because she likes Anupama's company better. Jasmine and Subho starts to fake cough to hide their laughter because it's not every day that someone can decline Nayantara Devi's words. Soon the girls leave from there.

"What do you do Anupama? I mean as a profession?" Bianca asks Anupama while looking around the paintings and photos that are hung on the wall.

"Hmmm, I don't have any job or anything like that. Actually, I like to do house chores very much so I never thought about getting a job." Anupama replies with a tight-lipped smile.

"But why go anywhere else when your father owns such a big company? You can help him with his company like your cousins do." Bianca suggests without knowing that her suggestion can never be a reality for Anupama.

"I don't know anything about business and all. Baba used to tell us about things related to business when we were little but I never paid attention to them. So when Baba asked me to join the company I denied because I was not an ounce interested. Baba understands me very well so he didn't fight me with my decision." Anupama lies. But in reality, her father has never talked to her for more than five minutes. She doesn't even remember when was the last time when her father smiled at her. Bianca sees that Anupama is lost in thoughts so she asks her if everything is okay or not. Anupama tells her that she is fine.

"Hey Anupama, can you please show me your room?" Bianca asks when they are going downstairs. Anupama halts in her steps because she can't take Bianca in her room as Advira is sleeping there. However, she is not a very good lier so God knows how she has lied till now but she doesn't know what to do now to get out of the situation. Regardless much to her relief Riya reaches there in time. Anupama has never felt so happy seeing Riya before.

"I hope you are enjoying the tour my lovely cousin is giving you," Riya says sweetly, in the inside she is seething with anger. As much as she knows Bianca has an important place in Alessandro's life and if she wants to have him then she needs to befriend Bianca at any cost.

"Oh yes. This house is so pretty and all the decorations are really stunning." Bianca remarks with a polite smile. She doesn't like Riya very much but knows she can't be rude to her as she is the one who has suggested that the idea of them coming here.

"Thank you, Bianca. Actually, Mom is asking for you both. The dinner is going to be served so if you are done with your tour then you should come downstairs." Riya says with a smile that is clearly fake. She doesn't want Anupama to attend this dinner that is planned by her. She can tell that Alessandro has already taken an interest in Anupama because she had seen the way he was peering at her from the moment she had set her foot in the living room. That is one of the main reasons why Riya hates Anupama so much because she always gets everyone attention without even trying.

The three girls reach the dining area to see that the others have already taken seats in the dining table for dinner. Bianca excitedly takes a place next to Samuel and offers Anupama to sit beside her. Anupama is hesitant to sit down but when her father motions her with a nod of his head, she sits beside Bianca. Maids start to bring amazing Italian and Mexican cuisines for dinner.

"I hope you are liking what our Riya has arranged for you. She is our gem and we are very proud of her as she knows very well what to serve our guests." Nayantara Devi praises Riya.

"Oh no, Didon don't flatter me. There are so many things that still I need to know." Riya utters with a shy smile. Jasmine scoffs seeing Riya's overly sweet attitude.

"Mr. Bianchi, I hope everything is fine with you all. If anything you want you can tell us without any hesitation." Subhodeep says while looking at the guests. Alessandro only gives a nod in response. Soon everyone starts to put foods on their plates but Bianca doesn't touch anything besides water. Anupama notices it and asks Bianca if everything alright or not.

"Actually, I was thinking that I could get to taste Indian homemade food as I have heard so many nice things about the tastes of Indian cuisine. But..." Bianca stops mid-sentence knowing she should have not said such things. Anupama feels bad for Bianca but she is scared to say anything as Riya has planned everything so well to impress the guests.

Alessandro also notices Bianca's mood and gets worried. Bianca may be his PA for the world but he has never seen her less than a little sister. He doesn't love her any less than Samuel who is Bianca's biological brother.

"Any problem Bianca?" Alessandro asks. Everyone looks at Bianca because now everyone can see her expressions. But she shakes her head and says that she is okay.

"If you are having any trouble you can tell us, dear," Indrajit says gently.

"Sorry I don't want to be rude but I wanted to eat homemade Indian food but it's alright. I will eat whatever you have served." Bianca mutters but everyone hears her. Indrajit feels apologetic as he thought that he didn't do a good job as host.

"I am very sorry to hear that dear. Actually, we didn't think that you would like Indian food so when Riya suggested that we should serve you foreign cuisine, we didn't think twice before ordering it." Indrajit answers with a remorseful look. Bianca feels bad for her childish behavior because if she didn't open her big mouth then Mr. Sengupta won't be feeling this guilty.

"It's okay Mr. Sengupta. You don't have to be so worried. I can eat Indian food some time else. Let's eat now. Everything is looking really delicious." Bianca tries to cheer everyone.

"I can make something if you want." Anupama offers suddenly. She knows she will be getting an earful from Riya and Kamini but she doesn't care. She wants to fulfill Bianca's wish. On the other hand, Riya is gripping her fork tightly because as if nothing is working in her favor anymore. She has planned everything so well but still, Anupama has gotten the upper hand.

"That will be a great idea. Our Anu is a superb cook and I am sure that she can make a fantastic meal within a very short period of time." Subho proudly announces.

"It's not necessary. We don't want to give you any trouble." Samuel replies with a small smile. Although in the inside, he also wants to eat some Indian food.

"You are not giving us any trouble. Just give us an hour and certainly, you will be served a nice Indian meal." Mihir assures them. Bianca and Samuel both look at Alessandro for permission, but Alessandro only shrugs his shoulders in return.

Anupama and Mausumi goes to the kitchen to prepare easy but delicious food for their guests. Mausumi starts to cut vegetables and Anupama starts to cook rice for paneer pulao. On the other hand, others in the dining room start to chat with the guests. Bianca asks them about Durga puja and gets to know a lot about the festival. Alessandro is constantly looking at the direction of the kitchen as if he doesn't want to miss any chance to see Anupama.

Exactly one hour later Anupama and Mausumi come out of the kitchen with heavy bowls full of homemade food. The aroma is so flavorful that everyone's mouth starts to water. Anupama serves the foods to everyone and sits down beside Bianca. Alessandro is very impressed with the way Anupama has managed the situation so skilfully. Bianca is bouncing on her seat like a little kid after seeing the mouthwatering dishes. There are Paneer pulao, Garlic butter naan, Egg masala, Dal makhani, Butter chicken, Potato stir-fry with poppy seeds and for dessert, Anupama has made Mango lassi and Gulab jamun.

"How did you manage to make so many things in such a short period of time?" Samuel can't help but ask the question that is on his mind. Anupama smiles shyly and answers that cooking is something that she is very fond of so it's very easy for her to cook in less time.

Soon enough everyone starts to eat the food made by Anupama. When Alessandro takes a bite of the pulao, a rich flavor of spices fills his mouth. He has never tasted such delicious food in his life. Bianca and Samuel can't stop thanking Anupama for such tasty meals.

After dinner, everyone goes to the living room and Anupama brings the mango lassi for everyone. Soon after that Subhodeep mentions about the file regarding the deal as Alessandro had said earlier that he would be bringing the file in the dinner. Hearing that Bianca is about to instruct Samuel to bring the file from the car but before that can happen, Alessandro says that he doesn't bring the file. As soon as Indrajit hears that, he gets shocked as he is not expecting that. So he asks Alessandro if everything is okay or not. However, Alessandro assures him that there is nothing to worry about as he just wants to add some minor points in the deal. Further, he adds that he wants to have a meeting after two days so he can elaborate on the points. Neither Subho nor Indrajit have left any other choice but to agree with Alessandro.

Soon after that Alessandro along with Bianca and Samuel stand up from the couch and bid everyone goodbye. They also thank everyone for their generous welcome. They start to move towards the main door when suddenly Alessandro turns back and comes towards Anupama.

"Thanks a lot for such a nice feast. I didn't think that there could be a real hidden gem in the Sengupta family. Also, I have to agree that you have a brilliant presence of mind otherwise you could have never handled the situation so adequately. I hope to meet you again." Alessandro compliments Anupama surprising everyone because this must be the very first time that he has said so much after coming here. Anupama can only smile in return because she is also shocked by Alessandro's words.

At the present time

Bianca and Samuel stand up from the couch instantly as if someone has punched them.

"Are you out of your mind Alessandro? What the hell is going on in your mind?" Bianca can't help but raises her voice. She has never thought that Alessandro could think something like that, especially about a girl like Anupama.

"I know what I am talking about and also I know what I want to do." That is Alessandro's reply. He doesn't want to discuss this matter anymore because he has made up his mind already and no one can change his decision.

"But why will she marry you? Mr. Sengupta will never get agree with you in this matter." Bianca says with a tense voice.

"That's why I told them that I want to add some changes in the deal," Alessandro replies while smirking. He knows well how to get his job done. So it's a matter of time that Anupama will be his.

"What are you going to do Alessandro? Don't tell me you are planning something crazy to have her?" Samuel askes worrying about his boss's unexpected demand.

"I have never thought that you need to ask me about this Samuel. You know me well that whenever I want something I get that by any means." Alessandro says and goes inside the bathroom. Bianca and Samuel give each other worried glances because it's true that Alessandro will not stop before he has Anupama in his life.
