Chapter 60: Ch.59/ Time For Punishment
Anupama's POV:-
When the doorbell ring I feel my heart drop to my stomach in fear of seeing Romil's mother after so many years. But Alessandro gives my hand a gentle squeeze to let me know that he is here with me. I haven't said a word till now because I don't know if I have the strength to defend myself. So, I will let my husband to do that for me. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Marco is the first one to walk inside followed by Romil's mother who is looking scared. But for some reason, I don't feel a bit bad for her because she hasn't done anything less than Pishimaa and thakurmaa to insult me. Upon seeing her, pishimaa and thakurmaa's eyes widen in surprise before they both look at each other with a frightened expression.
"Thank you so much for bringing her here, Marco." Alessandro says getting up from his place beside me.
"She is our best friend's mother so don't thank me." Marco replies casually as if he doesn't reveal about Romil being their best friend.
"What do you mean by she is your best friend's mother?" Thakurmaa asks getting up from the couch followed by everyone else.
"Oh my bad, I forgot to introduce her to everyone. Here meet Ranjana Basu, our best friend Romil Basu's mother." Marco replies making Pishimaa and Thakurmaa shocked. Baba and others also look very surprised because they also don't know about this truth except dadabhai, Kakai and Jasmine di.
"Are you alright? Because you are sweating very much." Alessandro comments looking at Pishimaa who nods her head in response.
"Mr. Bianchi I have something to tell you." Baba says with guilt lacing on his tone so I know what he wants to tell Alessandro.
"I think I have an idea about what you want to tell me, Mr. Sengupta. But I don't want to hear anything from you, I want to hear everything from these two women." Alessandro says pointing at pishimaa and thakurmaa.
"We don't know what you're talking about. Maa my head is in so much pain let go to my room." Pishimaa lets out before trying to walk away from there with thakurmaa. But dadabhai blocks their way by standing in front of them.
"Where are you both going when there is a guest in our house? Also, I think that's your dear friend mom so why don't you talk to her?" Dadabhai asks folding his hands in front of his chest.
"Subho get away from my way." Pishimaa orders but much to her dismay dadabhai doesn't leave from his place.
"Not gonna happen, mom." Dadabhai replies.
"What's going on, Subho? Why are you behaving like this?" Baba asks looking unsure of the situation.
"Boro mama there are many things you don't have any idea about these two have done to destroy Anu's life." Dadabhai answers with a look of disappointment.
"Maa, Kamini tell me exactly what you have done behind my back." Baba orders but neither thakurmaa nor pishimaa says anything. I think Alessandro has enough because I can see that his face is getting red by how angry he is with everything.
"Fine, if you two don't want to admit anything from your mouth then let me do the honor." Alessandro lets out before turning towards Romil's mother who is already trembling in her place.
"This lady here is my and Marco's best friend Romil Basu's mother. Not only that, she is also my wife Anhuphama's ex-mother-in-law. Am I right, Mr. Sengupta?" Alessandro asks baba who looks down with a nod.
"Okay so this woman told me and Marco that Romil got to know that his wife having an extramarital affair behind his back, he couldn't take the information well and had a heart attack which resulted in his sudden death. Both I and Marco were extremely furious so we tried to find out about his wife so that we could avenge our friend's death. However, we didn't know anything about his wife because he wanted to introduce his wife personally to us." Alessandro says while I have tears running down my face.
"She is lying Mr. Bianchi. Our Anu never had any extramarital affair behind Romil's back." Mamoni lets out while looking at Romil's mother in disgust.
"I am aware of that because Anhuphama told me everything. She also told me how her dead baby was taken away from her before she could get a glimpse of the little one. Because someone decided that the baby was a sin so it shouldn't have any relationship with anyone." Alessandro explains while glaring at thakurmaa who avoids looking at him.
"I am sorry for everything that happened to Anupama in the past. I am her father yet I never tried to help her when she needed me the most. I am the main reason why she had to suffer so much." Baba says with shame.
"I am not going to disagree with you in this matter because yes, you should have protected your daughter from the evils. But you were also influenced by negative things which are your mother and sister so I think it's not your fault entirely." Alessandro assures baba and turn to look at Romil's mother.
"Come on tell them everything you have done to Anhuphama while she was married to Romil." Alessandro orders sternly.
"I never liked Anupama because she was the perfect wife and daughter-in-law so I tried everything in my power to abuse her mentally. I used to taunt her every chance I got. I also tried to break her and Romil's relationship by saying bad things about her character. But Romil never believed me and that angered me the most so when he died I spread the rumor about Anupama's extramarital affair. I didn't even spare her knowing she was five months pregnant and used to give her a lot of household work so that she couldn't get any rest. Luck was on my side because both Mr. Bianchi and Mr. Davis believed my fake story about Romil's wife having a extramarital affair. They also started to send me a huge sum of money every month because I told them that after the death of Romil, we were suffering from a horrible financial condition." Romil's mother narrates looking at the regretful but I am not going to believe her because a person like her can never feel guilty about hurting innocent people.
"How can you be such a cruel person to hurt our sweet Anu? You even fed lies to Mr. Bianchi and Marco about her. Shame on you, Ranjana boudi." Kakai exclaims with anger.
"Please forgive me. I didn't mean to do these all but Kamini was the one who filled my mind with evil thoughts about Anupama from the start. Please believe me, I am not lying this time." Romil's mother pleads folding her palms while receiving a glare from pishimaa.
"Stop with your non sense talk. I never told you to do anything bad to Anupama. So don't put your misdeed's blame on my head." Pishimaa replies confidently however Riya starts laughing. We all look at her to understand as why she is laughing so suddenly but then she put her phone on the table in the middle and a voice recording starts playing from it.
'Ranjana you need to humiliate that unworthy girl so much that she stops talking or eating. By doing this we can easily kill her unborn baby with all the stress she will be facing. So that no one will think that there is anyone responsible for her miscarriage then herself."
Pishimaa snatches the phone from the table and throw it on the floor harshly in result breaking it. But everyone has already heard the recording of her talking to Romil's mother about killing my unborn child
by hurting me mentally. I look towards Alessandro and believe me, I have never seen him this much angry. Not even when he came to rescue me from Samantha and her partners.
"You dare to kill my daughter before her birth?" Alessandro asks pishimaa with a murderous look on his face.
"I di-dn't try to ki-ll y-ou-r daughter. I- i- tr-y...." Pishimaa can not even finish her sentence seeing the furious look on Alessandro's face.
"Wait a minute. In the audio, Kamini mentioned killing Anu's unborn child then why are you saying that she tried to kill your daughter?" Baba asks Alessandro confusingly.
"Yes, she tried to kill my daughter. Not only that, both the mother-daughter duo lied to you all saying that Anhuphama had given birth to a dead baby." Alessandro retorts furiously.
"What do you mean by lied? Please don't tell me that the baby is still alive." Riya asks with horror written all over her face.
"Yes, my baby is alive despite some people trying their best to hurt her by throwing her in the garbage." I let out while looking at pishimaa and thakurmaa who are sweating badly with fear in their eyes.
"Please Anu tell us everything. Don't hide anything from us." Mamoni pleads making me nod my head at her.
"I want to tell everything by myself but I think Kakai and Jasmine di are the best persons to explain everything because they are the ones who have saved my daughter." I say before facing Kakai who is standing beside Mamoni.
"When Anu gave birth, the baby was not in a good condition so the doctor decided that the baby needed to be put into the incubator for betterment. However, one day I heard Maa and Kamini talking
about how they had already bought the doctor with money so the doctor told Anu that she had birthed a dead baby. Also, the doctor informed her that she could never get pregnant again because of some blockage. They didn't stop there, they planned to throw the baby in the garbage because they didn't want it. I didn't know what to do because at that time borda used to hate Anu so I couldn't ask for his help and Subho being a short-tempered person couldn't be much help at a situation like this. So, I asked for Jasmine's help who didn't hesitate to come back to Kolkata to help me. She told the head nurse everything and that kind lady agreed to help us in rescue the baby. The nurse informed us about Kamini picking up the baby from the hospital so Jasmine followed her. When Kamini threw the baby in the garbage Jasmine was the one to pick it up and bring it to me. I knew that I couldn't keep this baby safe by myself so both Jasmine and I decided to keep the baby in her house." Kakai describes with a sigh.
"How can you do this mom? You are a mother yourself yet you didn't consider Anu's feelings? I am feeling shameful to even call you my mother anymore." Riya says with disappointment.
"Mihir is lying, Indra. You know right neither your Maa or your sister can do such things. They are plotting against us." Thakurmaa tells baba who shakes his head in denial.
"I would have believed you if I was the same Indrajit from the past. But not now when I can clearly see what you and Kamini have done behind my back. Not only you both abused my daughter, you also tried to kill her child knowing well how much she was suffering from Romil's sudden death. You both made me believe that I should remove any trace of my daughter being married or pregnant before because that would tarnish our family's reputation. But now what? Don't you think that the horrible things you have done will damage the pride of this family?" Baba lets out while glaring at thakurmaa making her mouth hang open.
"Mihir you said that you have kept Anupama's baby in Jasmine's house. So, why don't you bring the baby here?" Baba asks kakai while Mamoni and Riya nods their head too.
"The baby is already in this house, boro mama." Jasmine di says with a smile.
"And she is raised by her mother meaning Anupama with love and care." Dadabhai says coming back into the living room with Advira in his arms.
"You mean Advira is..." Baba mumbles with wide eyes before turning to face me so I nod my head in response.
"Yes, Advira is our Anupama's biological daughter." Kakai replies with a smile.
"No, this can't be possible. Anupama can not have any happiness in her life. My plans can't be failed." Pishimaa screams before walking towards me while raising her hand at me. But before she can hit me, Alessandro holds her hand tightly.
"I have warned you before that if you try to harm my wife I will not hesitate to punish you and this time you will realize what a great mistake you have made by hurting the two most valuable people of my life." Alessandro lets out with a cruel smirk which sends shivers down my spine. Suddenly, some male and female police officers come walking inside the house.
"Thank you so much for coming here on such short notice, officers." Marco says while shaking hands with one of the male officers who I can guess as the ACP.
"We must protect the innocent one and punish the corrupt one. So, don't thank us for our duty." The ACP replies firmly.
"What are they doing here?" Thakurmaa inquires looking scared.
"They are here to take you and your daughter on a much-needed vacation." Alessandro replies making me hold his arm tightly.
"Indra, aren't you going to stop him? He is trying to get us behind the bar." Thakurmaa says aloud while pishimaa is crying loudly. But no one seems to care about them anymore.
"Whatever happening is because of your greed maa. Although I don't want to see my mother or sister in prison, I can't forget the awful things you both have done." Baba replies sadly.
"Subho, Riya please don't let them take me. I am your mother and she is your didon." Pishimaa says while looking at dadabhai and Riya for help but both of them shake their heads.
"Anu is also a mother but both of you never thought about her feelings. So, don't ever think that we will help you or didon." Dadabhai replies.
"Anupama, please I am holding your leg so please tell your husband not to send us in the prison. We will do anything to get your forgiveness. Please just don't let them take us." Thakurmaa pleads trying to touch my feet but I move aside.
"Although I can forgive you for the pain you caused me, I will never forgive you for what you did to my daughter. Not just once, but twice you snatched my daughter away from me. Now you are saying that you will do anything I say. So, if you really want to be forgiven then go with the police immediately." I reply to her while pointing at the door. I feel a hand wrap around my waist before I pull back in a hard chest. I turn around and put my head on the chest not wanting to see thakurmaa or pishimaa anymore.
"You have already done as much drama as you wanted. But now none of your tricks will work. You took a newborn baby away from her mother and lied to her about being infertile which is not a joke. Just because of your devilish deeds a child would have been away from her mother if she didn't get the help she received back then. But do you what is your biggest mistake? You thought that no one would be able to expose you in front of everyone. My wife and our daughter are the most beloved people to me in this whole world. So, just think about what I can do for them. I will make your life worse than hell. Don't think that just because you are going to prison you will be able to escape from my clutch."
Alessandro lets out with anger lacing in his tone. I hold him tighter when I hear the screaming of pishimaa and thakurmaa as they are trying to get away from the police. I shut my eyes tightly while Alessandro kisses the top of my head.
"Finally, I have avenged your tormentors." Alessandro whispers making me look up at him with teary eyes.
"Thank you for everything." I reply with a small smile.
