Enchanted Love

Am I the right person?



“Clara,” he screamed from his bedroom. Clara stood up and showed thumbs up to Mira as if she won the bet but got chills spread over her veins. She could not get used to the anger he shows whenever he gets tensed or upset with anything. The words he speaks are always intense and she knows that he doesn’t mean those. Angry Alex is near a poisonous snake. But she learned to tackle it very cleverly. She quickly entered her room with so many calculations in her mind as to why he was shouting.

Mira enjoyed the album as she finished her snacks. Clara entered the room and was baffled to see the messed up room. She could guess that he was searching for something.

“Why are you shouting like this?” Clara asked to write another full page for their fights.

“Where is my pen drive?” Alex’s voice is calm but she could feel furious behind it. Clara closed her diary and stood up to face him.

“It should be there where you have kept it,” Clara replied as she has no idea of what he is talking about? This is his routine to ask for his things which she has no idea of. He believes that she must have kept it somewhere else.

“Do you even know that I have a blue coloured Pendrive?” Alex asked in his frustrated tone. Clara blinked to confirm his accusations. She of course isn’t aware of his belongings and she doesn’t care about it though.

“It’s yours. Why should I have to know?” Clara is now irritated with his tone? How can he have such a nature? Should she have to take care of his belongings too? She is not a maid!

Clara sighed and did not want to drag the fight anymore. She pulled Alex’s collar suddenly and in no seconds, she kissed him. “Let it go, Darling. Your friend is outside” her words melted in the air and Alex’s anger vanished into thin air. He always begs in front of her to call him darling. But she always calls him whenever she needs something and that moment is always special for Alex.

He forgot about the pen drive which has his files to submit. He forgot his mental client who would bite him if the Pendrive files were gone. He just smiled at his wife and kissed her back.

Clara smiled broadly seeing his smile. Mira smiled at them.

“You both are so cute” she commented as she gave the album back to her.

“Okay, I have to go now” Mira took her handbag.

“No. You will stay here for at least for a couple of days” Alex grabbed the bag. Even Clara felt the same. Mira is such a sweetheart that no one would like to leave her side anytime. She is a very fun person to hang out with. She agreed to stay there as a result.

“Guys it’s my gift for you both. Go and enjoy. And please let me sleep” Mira exclaimed and threw a pillow towards Alex who was constantly waking her.

“Mira, it will be fun. Come please” Alex grabbed her hands.

“Your wife would be mad at you, idiot” Mira yelled at him rubbing her face.

“Why should I be mad? I guess if you come, we will be having more” Clara also joined Alex. Mira now sat over her bed and looked at both with a boring eye.

“Guys, it’s just a romantic date which I have booked for you two. There will be new exciting things to do with your partner. Why are you both dragging me?” Mira asked but she was already pushed inside the washroom to get ready.

Mira, Alex and Clara entered the theme park which has many games and exciting shops for all love couples. The entrance had a big pink heart-shaped frame where Clara and Alex took a picture and another one along with Mira. The more they entered, the more they enjoyed it.

“Let’s have some food before we go further inside. There will be a pool game too” Mira exclaimed as they all seated in the open-spaced restaurant. It was designed especially for lovers. The unique thing about the restaurant is there will be a question for the couples about them. Mostly yes or no questions. And the couples will be given the red and green board to play with. If they both raised the same colour board, they would get one point. Likewise, there will be five rounds. If they get maximum points, they will get one dish for free.

As there were three persons at almost all tables, they agreed to give three persons the board and they would give a half-point if two of them gave the same answer and a full point if all three gave the same colour board.

“So, will we have a half-point or one point?” Alex asked, looking at both the girls.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“If the question is about Alex, my answer would be perfect” Mira replied with full confidence and both agreed to it more. It’s a fact that Mira understands Alex like anything.

“Your husband/boyfriend knows how to cook. If yes, show green board. If not, show the red board. Now” the anchor stressed the word now as Clara showed red instantly whereas Mira and Alex showed green.

“Omg, don’t tell me that you have never cooked for her” Mira exclaimed upset while Alex gave his cheeky smile. Clara took the fork near her plate and showed it to his side.

“Shut up, Mira. Don’t add fuel to the fire” Alex screamed as he took Clara’s hand.

“I was keeping this as a secret to impress her on her birthday” Alex confessed honestly. Clara felt so special right at the moment that she forgot to even blink. He was planning for her birthday? And that too his handmade dish? Alex knew that Clara is not any girl to get impressed with any diamond set or anything exaggerated. But he can win her heart with this simple move.

“Next question” they get distracted by the anchor.

The following questions made Clara realise that she knew nothing about Alex. Mira and Alex have full points. They couldn’t get that free dessert prize because of Clara but they enjoyed playing a lot.

“Because of your friend, you guys couldn’t win,” the waiter exclaimed while giving the bill. He clearly meant Mira and Alex as a couple and Clara being their friend. Mira laughed out loud hearing that as Alex pulled Clara’s waist possessively.

“Don’t comment unless you know everything” Alex didn’t want Clara to feel left out. She felt overwhelmed by his gesture but at the same time, the waiter’s comment made her uncomfortable.

All the way to the next spot, Alex and Mira we’re talking about their old days. Clara couldn’t help but admire them more. The more she admired them, the more she felt left out. Alex made sure to involve her in every conversation but she couldn’t get connected to them.

“Let’s ride there” Mira exclaimed when she saw a big game ride. Alex is always an adventurous person so he agreed instantly. But Clara stepped back showing her fear and disinterest. Mira grabbed Alex and went to have a ride leaving Clara alone.

Now Clara felt stupid to even drag Mira out from her sleep. She should have left her there and enjoyed herself with Alex. Even though she held her emotions, she couldn’t control her heartache. Pain that he is more comfortable with another girl. Pain that he smiles wholeheartedly with another girl. Pain that she can never become Mira in his life. That’s how she realised even though she pretends not to, still, she is insecure with Mira.

Alex started enjoying everything more now adding uneasiness to Clara more. She became silent but the best part is no one noticed it. Tears threatened to come out anytime but she held them back with a small smile.

“Did you enjoy it?” Mira asked tired of laughing out with Alex.

“Hm” Clara replied plainly not able to show her displeasure but Mira is too busy to catch her stress.

“Are you okay?” Alex caught her right away. Clara smiled at him squeezing his palm showing that she is fine. Before he could ask any question, Mira sat there with a thud all exhausted.

“I am sorry, but can you lift me to our car? My legs are paralysed.” Mira asked in her tired voice as her eyes closed halfway. Clara didn’t like the idea at all.

“Alex can get the car here too” Clara doesn’t want to sound rude but it came out like a kid who is angry to grab their chocolate. Alex smiled at his little wife.

“Oops. Possessive. Actually, you are right. I didn’t think about it that way” Mira replied, throwing her hands up in surrender. Clara felt bad instantly to snap like that. She lowered her eyes.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean that. He is also tired so it must be hard for him. That’s why. Please, don’t take me wrong” Clara sat beside her apologising to her instantly.

“You are so cute” Mira pulled her cheeks gently and smiled, expressing that she was just joking.

Yeah that was the first time, Clara felt she is not at all fit to be a part of his life. Seeing Mira, she knew that if Clara didn’t appear in their life, they would have had a perfect life maybe in a year or next.
