Chapter 15: Ch.14/ New Home, New Life
Anupama's POV:-
"Shh don't wake mum-mum, let her sleep for some more time."
"Me want mum-mum."
"I know but Papa will feed you breakfast and your puppies are waiting for you."
"Puppiesh? Yeahhhhh..."
"Shhh no screaming."
I hear footsteps heading out of the room before opening my eyes. It's really hard to pretend to sleep when you are awake the whole time. But I didn't want to interrupt Mr. Bianchi and Advira's hush-hush talk, though they were pretty loud to not wake a person up.
I look at the digital clock that is situated on the nightstand and see that it's already 7 AM so I hurriedly get up before getting inside the bathroom for my morning routine. I get ready in a peach color plazo suit
which is a gift from Dadabhai.
I am not much of a shopper so it's Dadabhai, Mamoni, or Jasmine Di who has bought my clothes. Yesterday when I came across the huge walk-in closet in this room, I was shocked beyond imagination. Because the closest is full of different types of clothes, accessories, footwear. First, I thought that they were someone else. However, Melody informed me that Mr. Bianchi had ordered her earlier to get a closet full of things for me.
I have to talk to him, he can't just spend his money on these useless things. If he so much wants to spend his money then he should find another way to spend it without wasting on me. But how will I say this to him? He seems like a very strict person to me. If I directly tell him to stop spending money on me then he will definitely not agree with me because for him money is not a problem. So, I have to think about something else. Hmmmmm.
Suddenly, I hear a sound as if someone is scratching on the door. So I get in near the door before opening it slightly to see who it can be. But to my horror, there is a giant dog standing in front of me. I try not to scream in fear because it might bite me.
"H-e-y cu-t-e d-oggi-e le-t me g-o." But it only tilts his head while looking at me. I don't know what breed it is but it has midnight black fur all over its body.
"Fonsie! What are you doing here?" Melody yells at the dog who whimper in return.
"Papa has told you all not to come in here but still you didn't listen to him. Now, he will be very angry with you and will not let you play with your baby sister." Melody says standing in front of the dog who lays down on the floor before covering its eyes with the front paws. Okay, that's a really adorable gesture, I have to admit.
"No, you can't act cute to hide your mistake. Now get out of here or Nonna will tell Papa everything." The dog looks at me with sad eyes before trotting out of there.
"You know, you didn't have to scold the dog so badly." I tell Melody who is rubbing her forehead.
"I know but they need to understand that you are scared of them so they should stay away from you." She is looking exhausted.
"Are you okay Melody? You are not looking good to me." I state before putting my hands on her forehead. Luckily, she doesn't have any fever or cold.
"It's just a headache dear, nothing more. One cup of tea will make me feel happy. Let's go to the dining room for breakfast." She replies while smiling at me. I return her smile but still have a feeling that it's
not a simple headache.
When we get in the dining area all the maids bow before us except one girl who is giving me a look of distaste. Melody has already introduced everybody to me yesterday so today we don't need any discussion and If I remember correctly her name is Linda. Like yesterday, she is wearing a very revealing outfit. I have learned that Melody has chosen the outfits for the maids but Linda never listens to her and wears whatever she wants. I shake my head before taking a seat on the table. Melody serves me delicious breakfast before taking a seat beside me.
"Where is Mr. Bianchi and Advira?" I ask when I don't see them anywhere.
"They already have their breakfast and now they are outside doing something which I don't know what. By the way, what is the meaning of our little princess's name? The name sounds very beautiful." Melody comments while I smile in return.
"Advira means born to be a leader. The name is given by my cousin's fiancee Jasmine, whom I love to refer to as my sister as well." I reply happily but soon my mood changes remembering about my family. I haven't talk to anyone of my family and it's already one day that I have come here. But how will I call them? Thakurmaa hasn't returned my phone and I don't think Mr. Bianchi will like it if I get out of the house without his permission. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
"What are you thinking about?" Melody asks me.
"Nothing important. I have finished my breakfast, can I go outside to see what Advira is doing?" I ask her.
"It's your house and you can go anywhere you want. You don't need to ask me anything, my dear." She replies softly before sipping on her herbal tea. Back in Kolkata, I have to take permission before doing a little things which always made me feel like an outsider. But in here, everything seems like my own especially this house. I blink rapidly to stop the tears that are ready to fall before giving her a small smile, I get out of there.
************
The weather is very pleasurable to roam around the house or should I say Palace. Whenever any maid comes in front of me they greet me with a smile which makes me feel happy. When I get outside I realize that there are a lot of men in black clothes guarding the house. They also bow to me when I pass by them. I awkwardly smile at them not knowing how to react.
I haven't seen Advira or Mr. Bianchi yet. So I ask one of the maids about them. She informs me that Mr. Bianchi is taking a stroll with his horse in the ring located at the backside of the house while two maids
are taking care of Advira in a garden nearby. She also shows me the way to go there. I thank her for her help.
Just the way the maid has instructed me, I find the garden in a few minutes where I see my baby playing in the garden. She is currently touching some pretty flowers in the garden with a bright smile on her face.
I walk up to her before taking her in my arms. She giggles loudly causing me to laugh along with her. I kiss her both cheeks before placing her down on the ground.
"Mum-mum me play." She says before running away towards the maids who have a lot of toys with them. When they notice me, they give me a smile of recognization. I also notice the dogs lurking around the garden but for some reason, they haven't come in front of me. That makes me feel guilty but my experience with dogs is not very nice.
"Try to control him, Samuel." I hear Mr. Bianchi's voice from somewhere near me. I look at Advira to see that she is now playing with the dogs so I decided to go look for Mr. Bianchi.
After looking for some time I come in front of a big ring area which is surrounded by wooden fencing. But my eyes widen seeing the scene in before me. Samuel is trying to ride a brown color horse but the horse is not letting him. Mr. Bianchi and some other men giving instructions to Samuel who is clearly
struggling to control the animal. Suddenly, Samuel is thrown by the horse harshly. I hurriedly go near the ring before gasping in fear seeing the blood coming from Samuel's mouth. Before I can say anything Mr. Bianchi jump in the ring through the fence. He gets near Samuel and help him to stand up. One of the men helps Samuel to get out of the ring through a little gate before taking him somewhere.
However, much to my horror Mr. Bianchi starts running towards the angry horse before getting on its back. The horse keeps trying to throw him off its back but it's not being successful enough this time.
"Mr. Bianchi! Please get off its back. Don't be reckless." I shout but he only shakes his head in denial.
"Don't worry Anupama, only Sandro can control this type of wild horse," Melody says standing beside me.
"But Samuel has been hurt so badly. What if Mr. Bianchi gets hurt too?" I ask looking at her.
"This is not new for him. He has some type of understanding with animals so he is able to make amends with them easily. Look at him now." She says while pointing at something. I turn around and see that Mr. Bianchi is riding the horse without any problem. He has a victorious smile on his face and the horse seems to be calm. He stops after a few moments before petting the horse without getting off its back.
"See I told you that there is nothing to worry about. I like to call him an animal whisperer." Melody laughs making me laugh too along with her. I notice that Mr. Bianchi is coming near us but he has a cut in his arms.
"What happened?" I ask him.
"Just got a little cut while playing with Blaze." He answers back.
"Ummm Blaze?" I ask not knowing who he is talking about.
"Blaze is the horse I was riding before. Where is our little princess? It's been quite times that I have seen her." He says while walking. Melody has already left when she noticed that Mr. Bianchi is coming towards us. I start to walk beside him because I have something to tell him, more like ask him.
"She is playing in the garden with the dogs and two maids are there with her." I reply not looking at him.
"Why do you fear the dogs so much?" He asks me.
"When I was in elementary school, Riya and her friends used to throw stones at the stray dogs while coming from school. But they used to run away from there leaving me alone to face the wrath of the angry dogs. Although the dogs never scratch me or bite me, but it still left a deep impact on my mind." I answer him honestly. I don't know why but I feel comfortable enough to tell him about my childhood.
"I have a lot to ask you about your family but not so soon. I don't want you to feel any pressure or anything. I am just being curious and I hope I can get to know more about my wife." He says with a smile, not a teasing type of smile but a real smile.
"There is not much to know about me but I will be happy to answer your questions." I reply shyly. After that, we don't say anything but walk beside each other. I think this marriage and this new life is not that bad to live with. I am getting a feeling of being independent for the first time in my life and truth to be said I am really enjoying it.
