Enchanted Love

“Husband?” Mira gasped as the servant maid asked her to go. Mira realised that they are mistaken Alex and her to be a couple. For some seconds she felt what it would be if it happened for real. She wanted to dream for the day. She wanted to pray for the day to come.

Only if Clara didn’t come, there could be a slight chance for them to get together.

She walked to the store to see why Alex asked her to come there. Is he want to talk about something important? Maybe he wanted to ask her opinion about Clara. She mentally gathered many incidents to show him how Clara is wrong for him.

“I am not jealous” Clara muttered to herself but it was too late. She is already inside the room and Alex looked at her with a questioning gaze.

“I am not jealous. It is just I won’t let any other girl be near you” Clara added to convince her motive.

“Yeah, you don’t deserve anyone” she smiled as if she found a correct reason even though her mind snapped at her for being so dumb. She cared least about it. She knew what she is doing and she won’t regret it. Alex looked at her, having no clue of what she is mumbling about.

“Why are you here?” Alex asked as he peeped to see the old man locking the room.

“Why he is locking the room?” Alex asked as Clara widened her eyes. She wanted to stop Mira from being locked there. But she didn’t expect that the old man would lock up the room even without seeing who is there. But isn’t his motive to lock him with his wife?

“How do I know?” Clara asked screaming at him. She literally yelled at him as if he blamed her for that.

“Ooh. Why are you shouting?” Alex asked throwing up his hands in surrendering.

“Open the door” Clara screamed knocking on the door vigorously. She didnt like the way she behaved in just a minute ago. How can she be so stupid and wanted to stop Mira from coming closer to Alex? Is she jealous?

“Hey, relax” Alex came to her side instantly sensing her soul mood.

“Stay away” Clara knew that her anger is not with Alex but with herself. She felt so embarrassed. She should have gone inside the room rather than come here.

“I am so sorry. I can’t” He said as he grabbed her gently and that’s how her mind again went for a vocation.

“Just order me to do anything than this one. I can’t stay away from you.” He paused as he wanted to say Jaan. But he knew he lost the rights forever. Her fearful face the night when he called her Jaan is so terrific that he won’t ever call her with that name to cause such pain.

“I will not repeat my mistake of letting you go again, Honey” he ended as her face flushed again with the intensity of his look alone. Honey? She wanted to snap at him, push him. But why the hell did she become blank again?

“I can never imagine what you went through these months. Yesterday’s little stunt of yours gave me 10% of those suffering. So, today on, you are my Honey, alright?” He asked as his breath fanned her cheeks.

“Mr Smith. You can never imagine my sufferings for sure. But you can even not get it that we can never be like before. For me, it is like a punishment to be with you” the moment she spoke, His grip loosened as if he felt her honestly in those words. She is not angry, she is not hurt. She is been honest and he could feel that. It will be too hard for sure to change her decision.

Before he could reply to her, the door flung open harshly that made Clara fall flat over Alex and the bed which was placed on the left fell over them and Clara couldn’t even lift herself.

“Oh damn. Alex, are you alright?”

Clara rolled her eyes at Mira who was the one that opened the door just now. She would have seen Alex with Clara already and wanted to know what was cooking there.

“If it’s a punishment, start enjoying this punishment” Alex replied to Clara with a smirk that nothing will make him change his decision. Mira pulled the bed vigorously but she couldn’t lift such weight as it fell over with a force that made Clara fall over Alex more to her misery. Alex smirked again when Clara’s lips touched his, making her widen her eyes. There is no way she could stop that coming. Thanks to Mira. Before she could part her way, Alex completed the little kiss, making her total red in embarrassment.

“Among all our special moments, this accidental kiss will be top on the list,” Alex commented as she gritted her teeth. How the hell did she end up here like this? She started wriggling but he is just enjoying the moment even though his back hurts like hell and it screams for his mercy.

“I know that you have mortgaged your brain somewhere. But can you please look at your size and the bed size?” Clara yelled at Mira when Mira again dropped the bed mercilessly over them for Clara to hug Alex more. All the while Alex just protected her like anything so that she doesn’t get hurt while he is damn enjoying the scenery.

“Idiot, call someone. At least Jason” Clara yelled at Mira again and now Alex looked annoyed.

“Edward is more stronger” Alex commented as Clara rolled her eyes at him. Is it even important?

Mira came with the shop owner who is way more stronger than all. He took the bed with his single hand and Clara stood up immediately as if it burned her to be with Alex. He felt so hurt to see her behaving like that. But he knew that he deserves those. He needs to be patient so that he can get back his old Jaan. He can feel that old innocent cute Jaan is sleeping inside this fierce rude Clara.

“Are you okay?” Mira asked Alex.

“Sir,” Clara called the shop owner.

“You can switch off the television. There is no need for that” Clara mocked and left the room.

“What does she mean?” Mira asked all annoyed.

“I guess your drama is more entertaining than the television entertainment” a little boy spoke and giggled at Mira who was gaping at all. Alex also laughed at his comment as his eyes were glued to the way where Clara just went.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“The lunch is ready” the old man announced as all the friends assembled in the dining area which is a pleasant one as it was surrounded by the river and there is no roof at all. The air was so refreshing and the climate is just awesome. Everyone is just admiring the place while the old man served everything.

“Thank you so much uncle for this” Edward and Alex thanked the old man as they all started eating the delicious food.

“Ice creams were superb and now my tummy is full because of that” Caroline pouted as she looked at the dishes longingly.

“Did you have your ice cream? I kept it on the table.” Edward asked Alex as he took the rice plate to have his lunch.

“Yeah” Alex replied instantly and set his plate along with Clara’s plate, making her annoyed with his actions. It was his routine back then to always set her plate whenever they are having their food outside. But how can he easily adapt to that phase suddenly? Clara felt alien to these habits. She knew that she can never be like that.

Mira once again felt left out. She looked at all having tears in her eyes. She never felt like this before because she is always the centre of attention and that’s what made her alone now. She is never used to this.

“But butterscotch ice cream, which was on the table, I ate that” Alina poked her tongue. Chocolate is her favourite but she can’t differentiate between ice cream flavours amd hurt their feelings for sure.

Everyone turned to Alex as he looked at all nonchalantly.

“I had strawberry” Alex replied as he could feel the taste still on his tongue even though he don’t remember having ice cream.

“I just got only one strawberry” Edward replied, looking at Alina.

“And I gave that to Clara” Alina ended as everyone looked at Alex and Clara.

Alex coughed suddenly as Clara lowered her eyes not able to meet anyone’s gaze.

“When did it happen?” Jason asked, closing his mouth with his hands.

“I mean, did she give you her ice cream?” Jason asked if that could be possible.

“She ate her ice cream when I saw her in the garden” Alina now is in full form to give minute details to all and now Clara could barely lift her eyes or anything. She gripped her stole and felt her skin burn with the intensity of their stares.
