Enchanted Love

“Don’t be like serial heroines. Be a sport and come here!” Clara stomped her foot as Alex widened his eyes with her words. Is she for real?

“Clara, you will regret doing so. Go and open the door. I have to go” Alex is very patient and calm. But this girl is testing his state now and then.

Clara started chasing him while he dodged her way and went to the opposite side of the bed. He should avoid coming near her at any cost. This girl has something in her mind and she won’t leave till she finishes that.

“Darling.” She screamed as her legs sprained. He didn’t notice her sprain as his mind went blank with her calling him Darling. He couldn’t mask his emotions when she called him like that and his tears rolled down his cheeks. She was wincing in pain but his ears blocked those noises as he moved toward her slowly.

“Darling” she mumbled again and he forgot everything around him as he sat beside her.

“Jaan” he mumbled as he cupped her cheeks but soon she smiled seeing him.

“At last I got you” she giggled as if she was fooling him. He is nowhere to judge anything.

She cupped his cheeks with the same smile as Alex just letting her do everything she wishes.

“It must be so painful” she mumbled, confusing him more as she bends near his neck and places soft kisses on the backside of his neck, startling him.

Flashback:

“I can treat anyone. But I couldn’t handle your pain” Clara cried when she pressed his sprained leg.

“Jaan. It’s not painful.” He replied but she was nowhere to listen to him. Touching the wound itself, she can tell that it was so deep and it was hurting him much. Moreover, the treatment would also give him some pain.

“Okay fine. Let me give you some tips then.” Alex pulled her to sit on his lap.

“If you feel that your treatment is hurting me, just give a kiss to that place” he mumbled near her ears wiping her tears. She pouts more hearing his solution.

“How about we start here?” He points out near his cheeks with a wink.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“It’s hurting here” Alex pulled her but she pushed him away and sat over the floor to take his leg over her lap.

She gently stretched it, making him yelp in pain. She suddenly bends near his knees and kisses the place as he smiles at her effort. She is too cute.

Flashback ends.

“Your back neck is stiff and muscles are strained too much” she mumbled with a hurt in her tone. Did she notice everything? That’s why she discontinued her treatment?

She kisses them again as she gently rubs his neck making him go insane with her touch.

“Why didn’t you take care?” She asked as her eyes closed halfway because of heaviness.

“You were not there.” He replied with a heavy voice. That’s the fact also.

“I didn’t leave you.” She mumbled again the same thing which she used to recite every time anyone mentions their life.

“You didn’t stay by my side when I needed you” he confessed as tears rolled down his cheeks.

“You never need me” she replied as she kept her head over his shoulder and slept instantly.

“That’s not true.” He replied and saw her sleeping figure. For the first time, he couldn’t feel his anger as he let her sleep in his arms. He stayed there the whole night not wanting to disturb her.

Her kiss made him realize how much he has been missing her. He hates the fact that he didn’t hate her till now. He stayed stiff but his thoughts clouded with emotions.

“What are you looking for?” Edward asked as he set his bed with a big smile.

“Just some stuff for shopping,” Alina replied with no interest. Edward peeped and looked at the dresses.

“Everything is beautiful and it will suit you best.” He commented but she didn’t even turn to his side.

“But, baby. Why white? You have filtered for only white? Colors suit you better than white” Edward said in confusion.

“I love all colors. But seeing your actions, I am compelled to like this white color because I would be wearing this soon” Alina yelled as she threw her phone over the couch and took a knife to target Edward. He gulped seeing her sudden transformation as he bends backwards in reflection.

“Why?” He asked as he stopped her from hitting him with a knife.

“Because I will murder you today” she yelled and tried to beat him with whatever she had in her hands.

“Babs, no. You can’t do that. Aww,” Edward screamed fearing for the worst.

“You can’t kill your kid’s father.” His words made her stop as she looked at him with a glare.

“Hana will be mad if she discovers that her father was killed by her mom” Edward pouted.

“Why should it be Hana? It will be Hari” Alina replied with a pout.

“Let’s fulfill both wishes.” His reply made her blush instantly.

“What about we rehearse for that first?” He asked with a giggle as she closed her face with her palms. He always does this whenever she is in a full mood to fight. And she always looks forward to his efforts to convince her.

“By the way, If I were a guy, I would run behind Rachel. Such a hot girl in our batch.” Alina mumbled, showing that she is not mad at him for real, making him smile at her.

“I don’t know what you like about him? He is such a dumbest person” Sachin commented with a big pout over the call.

“Sachin, mind your tongue. You can’t use such words for Alex” the person from the other end yelled in anger. Sachin’s face fell with the harsh words.

“(sister), it was just for fun. Why did you scold me?” Sachin asked in his sad tone? His sister never yelled at him even if he made mistakes. But today he was just pulling his sister’s legs.

“I am sorry. I was just. Leave those. Did you meet Alex? Is he fine? Is he happy? Did he ask about me?” Mira asked all the questions with no gap.

“Relax sister. He is good. He talks about you for a whole day. Now only I could breathe as he is out” Sachin giggled as Mira smiled thinking about Alex. He cares about her a lot.

“It’s night. He hasn’t come yet?” She was concerned for him.

“I am not his bodyguard to know his details” Sachin is all annoyed now. His sister has not even asked if he had his dinner or not. Does she worry about him even?

“Okay, my cute brother is annoyed now? Shall I tell you something to lighten up your mood?” Mira asked.

“I am coming there tomorrow” she exclaimed happily as Sachin jumped in joy. It’s been a while since he saw his sister. He missed her like hell.

After hanging up the call, Mira turned to switch on her room. The full wall had Alex and her pictures right from their childhood. She admired them as a lone tear escaped her eyes.

“Why did you choose her over me?” She asked for that picture as she caressed them with so much love.

“Didn’t you realize my love for you?” She added.

“She is full of clumsiness. She is no match for you” She ripped his wedding picture isolating his side from Clara’s side.

“Darling” she mumbled in her sleep as his heart pained a lot hearing her voice. Should he just let everything go and be with her like this? He gently rubbed her cheeks to let her sleep peacefully.

She mumbled again something in her sleep. He stroked her hair gently and kissed her forehead as she finally fell into a deep sleep with a cute smile.

He wanted to forgive her and let those things go. But again, will he be able to move on?

He remembered the way his mom lay down on the floor lifeless.

“Mom” his scream was as fresh as yesterday. It would not have happened if it were not for Clara.

“Why did you do that?” He asked with little tears in his eyes.

“You weren’t even guilty of doing so,” he added as he turned his gaze to not fall for her innocent face.
