Bellissima

Author’s POV

Alex placed Bella down and removed cloth from her mouth.

She gasped for the air.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“This is how you are treating you are soon to be wife…”

She complained.

“Your father and brother took their wives like they are made up of glass and look at you professional kidnapper…”

“Because their wives are calm… My girl is a little devil. You will scream and wake up the whole palace…”

He pinched her nose tip.

“But Alex this is against rituals… We can’t meet…”

She argued.

“It’s nothing like that… We can’t see each other after haldi ceremony… And we are banned from having sex, we can meet and see each other… I did my research…”

He said while she unwrapped herself from the blanket.

“Where are we?”

She looked around and found herself standing in the open balcony which was giving the view of the huge garden.

“I am in love with this place”

She said in awe.

“I can see that…”

He sat on the hanging bench which is made up of wooden and pulled her on his lap.

“You literally coloured your hair black for the wedding…”

He chuckled.

“Don’t laugh okay.”

She said offended.

“I saw some pictures of brides and i don’t think blonde hair will look good with wedding dress… I want everything perfect…”

“You are very excited for the wedding…”

He tucked a strand behind her ear.

She grinned.

“Very much… Are you not?”

“You can’t even imagine…”

He leaned back and laid on the bench pulling her on his body.

Bella covered them with blanket and placed her head on his chest.

“You have no idea how much you matter to me”

He placed his hand on her waist.

“Then stop kidnapping me from everywhere.”

She joked.

“Never… That’s fun”

He teased and she slapped his chest.

“Thank you for making me so happy Alex… You have changed my life”

She hugged him.

“And you changed mine.”

He kissed her forehead.

“You know i fell for you again when you came as a professor… Imagine, guy becoming a professor ignoring his worth billions company, just to get you back… I don’t know if you are aware or not but it’s a very big thing and incredibly romantic for any girl…”

She confessed.

“You are more important than billions…”

He smiled.

“If you are not with me… Then it’s of no use.”

“I love you!”

She smiled.

“I love you too…”

He pecked her lips.

They talked and didn’t realize when they fell asleep.

Sun came out and they were still in their dream World. Bella on his chest, his hand wrapped around her waist possessively. They are covered in a blanket looking cute and adorable.

Bella woke up when she heard laughing and giggling.

“Ye Manne ghane pyaar me lage se,”

She sat up and looked at women who were wearing rajastani clothes and were laughing and teasing them.

“Kehte Najar na lag jave…”

Bella turned red with shyness.

Alex woke up too and all women walked away while praising them.

“What were they saying?”

Bella asked him confused.

Alex yawned lazily.

“They were saying that we seems to be deeply in love and they said god must protect us from evil eye, something like that…”

“How sweet of them!”

She smiled.

“Shit!”

Alex said and quickly stood up. He grabbed her hand and dragged her away too while hiding from someone.

“What happened?”

She asked confused.

“My mother…”

He cocked his eyebrows towards Anamika.

“If she caught us then we both are dead…”

“I told you we shouldn’t meet…”

She whined.

“Fuck, she is coming here… Hide there…”

She pushed him behind big flower vase which was carved out of the stone.

“Bella what are you doing here? I was looking for you everywhere…”

Anamika asked when Bella stood in front of the vase.

“I was enjoying the view… It’s so beautiful, see.”

Bella smiled nervously.

Anamika smiled but the caught glimpse of Alex’s hair behind the vase and smiled while shaking her head.

“I can see which view you were enjoying…”

She chuckled.

“Now get ready if you want to see the market… Because we have to come back for Mehnadi ceremony…”

“Yes! Give me five minutes.”

Bella said and ran towards her room making Anamika laugh.

They all got ready and head towards the market in open Jeep.

“Why you guys didn’t wake me up? When i woke up no one was there?”

Raan asked while fixing her camera.

“Because you were sleeping like a Bear”

Bella said and everyone said “yes” in unison.

After all all were guilty for leaving her alone.

“Okay, okay… I don’t need this much confirmation.”

She looked at them confused.

“By the way our guests will arrive at evening so make sure that we are back at least till 5 pm.”

“Don’t worry i have talked with the manager… He will handle it.”

Alex assured her.

They finally reached the market and girls jumped in happiness after watching so many colorful clothes and accessories.

“I think they are going to buy whole market…”

Dominick sighed.

“And we will be holding all the bags”

Alex chuckled.

“You will get used to it.”

Massimo patted their backs and walked towards Anamika while Dom and Alex looked at each other with wide eyes.

“This one”

Bella pointed towards the color.

The man took measurement of her wrist and made beautiful pink kada (thick bangle) for her.

Girls were amused watching his skills and how quickly he made that Bangle.

“Wow! Alex see… How pretty!”

Bella said with big grin and he smiled looking at her smile.

He gave that man two thousand rupees which he denied saying that it’s only thousand rupees for all the bangles he made for them.

“Na bapji mahreko sirf hajaar paisa de do…”

but Alex gave it to him saying it’s for Bella’s smile too.

“Rakh lijiye… Ye iss hasi ke liye h…”

“Awe! How romantic”

Raan teased Bella.

“You are getting double romance…”

Bella teased back.

“Thare chore toh bohot balwant aur choke lage se, baisa… Najar utar diyo…” (Your sons are looking very handsome and strong, Madam… Touch wood…”

Vendor’s wife said fixing the veil on her head.

Anamika smiled at her.

“Shukriya” (thank you)

They did shopping and enjoyed Dal bati churma which is famous dish of Rajasthan.

It was almost evening when they decided to go back. They all were standing in the garden when they saw cars of guests arriving.

Jasmine, Luca and Valentino with all children and Amanda. There were few close relatives of Massimo and Alexander’s friends.

Raan’s Eyes widened when she saw two familiar figures coming out of the car.

“Oh my god! Did you invite them?”

Grace asked shocked as she knows that it will cause family drama.

“Christian and Theodore?”

Bella looked at Raan confused and Raan herself was confused after looking at them.

Both Handsome men started walking towards her. Build and muscular, wearing black suits like they have just finished business conference.

Raan gulped and looked at her father who was glaring at them. Alex and Dom was doing the same while Anamika was looking tense.

Theodore stood in front of Massimo and took off his sunglasses.

“Congratulations Mr. Marino… We are here to attend this wedding on our parents behalf… She got the invitation from Mrs. Marino…”

Massimo looked at Anamika confused and disappointed.

“Uhmm… I was expecting Florina…”

Anamika said, holding Massimo’s hand so he won’t create a scene.

“She is not well… And she didn’t want to upset you so we are attending it on her behalf…”

Theodore said while christian was busy looking at Raan who was stunned.

“No problem…”

Anamika smiled at them.

“You are our guests… Welcome and please make yourself comfortable… Mr. Jay will guide you to your Rooms…”

Theodore smiled but Christian didn’t, he kept his face straight.

“Congratulations Alexander…”

Theodore said.

“Thanks… I will be happy if you will focus on only functions…”

Alex said with underline threat.

“Be assured!”

Theodore smirked.

Raan gulped when they both passed by her like they don’t know her.

“You remember your promise?”

Massimo asked Raan while Anamika looked at her sadly.

“Yes, dad!”

Raan nodded gulping back her tears.

“Okay!”

Anamika sighed.

“Everyone please go and get ready… Raan please help Bella… Makeup artists are already waiting for you… Don’t be late… I want everyone back here sharp at 8 pm… Hurry up now!”

Bella looked at Raan when she was helping her with the dress.

“Raan are you okay?… Whatever happened down there wasn’t looking good.”

“Everything is fine Bella…”

Raan smiled.

“Don’t worry… If there is no problems then it’s not interesting… Alex and you faced problems too but you guys are together again… I am sure that we will be too…”

“I am always there for you… If you need any help please tell me.”

Bella assured.

“I have got best sister in laws…”

Raan said with grin.

“You and Grace are so sweet… Let’s go now, you are looking so beautiful”

Raan helped her to go outside on the stage.

Alex was waiting for her eagerly and was stunned when he saw in Lehnga. Bella was wearing green blouse and long lehnga with long dupatta, she was looking beautiful with long curly hair and makeup was glowing under lights.

He kissed her forehead when she stood in front of him.

“It’s just a beginning… I don’t know how much my heart can tolerate till wedding… You are looking stunning…”

“And you are looking really handsome and different…”

She looked at him. He was wearing green kurta.

“If you guys are done with your romance then come on the stage…”

Raan said.

“I am not doing mehndi n all… It will be there for weeks… I am a fucking mafia, man! I can’t wear mehndi till elbows and knees…”

Alex said stubbornly.

“Don’t worry Alex you are not a girl… It will be only on your palms… Small and sweet…”

Raan assured.

“Only palms!”

He warned.

Bella was looking happily at the decoration, they have made small stage decorated with flowers. Grace was clicking pictures of Mehnadi cons which were decorated in big thali ( plate) with flowers.

Bella was enjoying the ritual, she was looking at the design curiously. Soon her hands and legs were covered in mehndi design.

“Ma’am don’t touch it… Let it dry…”

The girl said.

“And don’t tell your groom where is his name… He have to find it for you…”

“Really? Interesting!…”

Bella smiled.

“How long i have to wait, i want to see the colour…”

She asked curiously.

“It will dry in few more minutes but don’t wash it now…”

She said.

“You know what’s interesting… People says that if groom loves you then your Mehnadi will be darker in colour…”

“Really?”

Bella raised her eyebrows.

“It better be darker otherwise God save him from me…”

She laughed.

Everyone clicked pictures after that and danced together.

“I can’t eat now and i am hungry”

Bella huffed looking at her hands.

“Come!”

Alex made her sit on the bench.

“I’ll feed you”

“But you have mehndi too”

She said.

“It has dried and it’s not on fingers…”

He shrugged and took plate from the waiter.

“Alex you are looking really handsome today…”

Bella smiled.

“Thank you”

Alex smiled charmingly at her.

He fed her while everyone was busy with themselves. They enjoyed the function till midnight and decided to call off the night.

Alex helped Bella to reach her bedroom.

“Good night! You are tired.”

He pecked her lips.

“No! Don’t go… Raan is not here she is with Maa… Please help me to get out of this dress…”

She pleaded.

“Tired already!”

He chuckled.

“No, not tired but i really want to sleep now.”

She replied yawning.

Alex closed the door and turned her around.

“You are giving me invitation…”

Me unzipped her blouse and kissed her shoulder blades.

“Alex I am really tired and i swear I’ll kill you if you ruin my mehndi…”

She warned.

“Fine!”

He chuckled.

“I was kidding…”

He took off her blouse and someone knocked on the door.

“Bella!”

Bella’s eyes widened.

“Fuck! You are not supposed to be here Alex… Maa will know… And definitely not in this condition…”

She looked at herself wearing nothing on upper body.
