Enchanted Love

Breaking their eye contacts, they turned to see the questioning glares. Clara laughed at all to ease the thick air as Alex too joined her.

“It’s just we had a little fight just before about something. So the tears were because of that.” Clara cleared the air as it gets thickened every second passing by.

“Yeah, we don’t like to fight even if it’s a small love quarrel” Alex added and now Nathan and Charlotte sighed in relief. Whatever maybe they should be happy. They are too cute to even fight for the game.

“Guys. Chill. It was not real or acting. It’s just a trailer for him to show what will happen if he ever mistreats me” Clara commented as all laughed at her words. Poor Alex.

“Anyways, cheer up guys.” Everyone clapped for them as they smiled at all.

Frank purposefully switched on the song which was played during their engagement.

“Winner performance” he exclaimed happily. Alex looked at Clara and grabbed her instantly for the dance.

The lights went off as they hopped up to the stage holding each other’s hands.

A formal dance as both danced it to the tune. They don’t need any practice as they are flowing like water. Moreover, it’s a special song where they shared the most cutest moment of their life. But now they both don’t want to recall anything. It’s suffocating like hell.

The clap sound made them sigh in relief. It’s ended at last. Clara took steps back instantly as if his touch burned her. Alex mentally noted down to stay away from her for the rest of the trip. Her attitude is too much to handle. He doesn’t want to fight with her anymore.

“Hey, why don’t you share your love story?” Okay, Jason should have a lesson for sure. Clara gritted his teeth as she threw a glare at him.

“Yeah, of course, we would love to hear that!” One of Lincoln’s friends exclaimed happily.

“Who proposed first?” Another one asked.

“Me” Alex replied instantly as she looked at his side.

“Of course it’s me. Look at her. She is beautiful. I don’t want to miss her” everyone clapped and encouraged Alex to talk more.

“What she replied?” Everyone asked with so much curiosity.

“I asked him to focus on his studies than to run behind girls” Clara replied now.

“Then?” Both Alex and Clara looked at each other.

“Everything happened so fast” Clara mumbled without taking her eyes from Alex.

“Everything felt like magic” Alex added as both shifted to their meeting, proposal, rejection, engagement and whatnot.

“And now we are here.” Clara ended it in one line breaking the eye contact with him. Nathan looked at them without blinking. He is impressed for sure. But that can’t change the fact that they fought with their parents to get married.

Clara turned to leave the stage as she didn’t like to recall everything. It pains a hell to think about her happy days. It scares her that she would demand it again. She is scared what if she loses her respect and begs for it.

“Careful, Clara” Alex grabbed her waist as she was about it hit her head. She looked at his eyes and he could see the pain in her eyes. Both stood there in the same position while a pair of eyes were just shocked by the scene.

“Alex!” Mira is shocked to see this. Alex shifted his gaze to the entrance where she was standing with a small bag in her hand.

“Surprise is there for you” Clara’s words in the morning, now made sense to him. But why? What she is planning

Mira stood there shocked to see Clara and Alex in the most romantic posture. How can he forgive her for what she did to her? How can he forgive the fact that because of her, Mira’s mom is also suffering? Mira could see her hopes crashing down. She never wanted to marry Alex. But there was little hope when everyone come to know about the love and Clara too left him by that time. But now she can see them coming closer every day.

“Did you call her?” Alex asked still holding her close to his side.

“Any special plan to call her?” Alex asked again as Clara rolled her eyes.

“As we are husband and wife in this drama, I thought your best friend would be so happy to see you. So I told her the address. Didn’t I do the best thing?” Clara is back to her teasing mode as she smirked at Mira’s annoyed face.

“When did you change like this?” Alex asked with so much pain in his voice. She just can’t hold grudges because Mira likes him.

“Since the time you asked me to get out of your life” Clara replied plainly.

“Without even hearing my side.” She completed as she started leaving the stage. He stood there looking at her retreating figure. What he should have heard? As for how she forwarded that picture to their family group or how his mom got a heart attack because of that? Or how she didn’t trust him enough to share her insecurities?

“What do you mean by this? Are you not the reason for my mom’s state?” Alex asked, now hoping that there might be another story from her side. Maybe she might have done that by mistake. Maybe she had some more things to share with him. Maybe he is wrong about everything all the while.

She stopped walking and turned to his side with a little smile with tears filled eyes.

“I wish it’s not the case. But I am the reason.” The moment she said those, he again grits his teeth and looked at her with so much hatred.

“But I wish you have asked me a different question. Maybe the one which I am expecting since that day” she replied to him and left the place abruptly. Why does she have to talk about puzzles again? Is there anything left for him to know? He wiped the tears without anyone knowing.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“You didn’t even inform me that you are with Clara?” Mira is now in full mood to fight with Alex. Alex sighed tiredly. The conversation with Clara has not yet winded away from his mind and now with Mira, should he again console her or something?

“Mira, look at yourself. It’s not the Mira whom I knew. You have become someone else. You like me and I respected that. But now it seems like you are going overboard. You know right? I don’t like being controlled. Why are you suddenly expecting too much from me?” Alex wanted to make things clear with her. She seems to get hopes and it’s visible to him.

“It hurts to see that it doesn’t matter to you. It hurts that the girl who has ruined me and my life is still important to you. I don’t know if I am expecting too much from you. But she is getting on my nerves. You know right? I have never held grudges against anyone. If you want her back in your life, I am not anyone to stop that. But yeah, it will hurt me.” Mira left the place with tears in her eyes. Alex sighed tiredly. He thought to enjoy this trip and be happy. But that was not visible to him any soon!

“I have a good plan” Jason spoke as Edward, Alina and Caroline turned to his side.

“For Alex and Clara?” Alina asked as she guessed it already.

“Here, I thought you guys would help me.” Caroline pouted and went away instantly. She couldn’t bear the pain at all. Lincoln is getting on her nerves and she couldn’t see her future with him.

“Of course, I will plan for her too” Jason added with a sigh.

“We have time for that. Now tell me for Clara” Alina spoke as Edward widened his eyes. Alina sidelined Caroline for Clara.

“Shall we do something? Maybe wrong thing?” Jason’s words made them confused.

“Wrong? I am not in. It’s Alina’s village. We can’t even pronounce wrong here.” Edward replied and crossed his arms.

“Chill, no one would come to know about it. We shall give this to them” Jason directly came to his point as he showed them the alcohol bottles.

“Are you serious?” Edward gasped loudly.

“Relax bro. I didn’t carry this for us. We have to do something so that they sort out their issues. What say?” Jason asked as Edward blinked to recall the day when Clara was drunk. It’s not a bad idea though.

“Let’s spike their drinks, then” Alina spoke with a wide smile.

“Are you mad?” Edward couldn’t understand them. If they come to know this, Alina and Edward would be beheaded for sure. This village is very strict and Edward has witnessed it in his eyes.

“If anyone notices this alcohol, do you even realise what would your uncle do?” Edward asked as to how Alina can be stupid?

“We should do everything secretly. Edward, if you don’t have the courage let us do this. Don’t interfere.” Alina grabbed Jason to execute their plan, leaving Edward to sulk alone.

“Don’t come to me if anything goes wrong,” Edward warned but Alina and Jason are nowhere to listen to his talk and left to execute their plan. Edward grits his teeth. He is damn sure that this night won’t end smoothly. Should he be prepared for anything if necessary?
