Enchanted Love

“How can I miss such a girl who knew me barely but trusted me unconditionally? You are special to me. I am happy that I have fallen for you.” Alex’s words sent a shiver to her whole body. She widened her eyes when she realized how could she agree to it. Why didn’t she think that he could lie? Did she believe his words instantly? Did she start trusting him already?All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Congratulations Mr Smith for your success.” One of the guests shook his hands with Frank Smith and now Clara could understand how she felt familiar with that face. He must be Alex’s father.

Frank walks towards Clara as she gets tensed by his presence.  He kept his hand over her head in the gesture of blessings.

“I am glad that my son chose such a prettiest doll. You are not just beautiful by appearance but from the heart. I can see the genuineness in your eyes.” Frank commented honestly as Clara lowered her eyes in response.

“I thought he would come with some random girl or even a guy. But I must say that you are perfect for our family.” Frank doesn’t know about Clara. But his instinct never fails. Seeing the girl, he can guess for sure that she is a girl who values traditions and would be down to earth. He could see the honesty in her eyes.

“If he troubles you, don’t hesitate to tell me. I will pluck his eyes and give it to you.” He adds. Clara gets instant tears in her eyes. She felt emotional with his words. She could feel her pops in his words.

Jack who heard Frank’s conversation came to Alex.

“Are you guys going to marry?” He asked directly as Alex smirked at Clara’s shocked expression.

“Of course” If she has not been shocked before, she is dead with shock when Alex replies like that.

“But only if she agrees” Alex ended as Jack laughed at his comment and left the place.

Clara starts leaving the place. This guy is crossing his limits and she doesn’t want to stay there anymore. She is already stressed about how much she is enjoying the time with his family. She doesn’t want to give more importance to her feelings for him.

Alex gently grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving.

“Leave me,” she whispered as she didn’t want to create any drama.

“I didn’t hold your hand to leave.” Damn, his dialogue. She is getting too attracted to his words and she doesn’t like that for sure.

“Don’t waste time around me. I am not going to fall for it. I will marry that guy whom my father would choose. So please” Clara tried to put some sense in him but Alex just smiled broadly.

“Are you asking me to ask your dad?” He asked as she sighed tiredly. Whatever she told him, she knew that he would take words according to his side.

“You can think whatever suits you” Clara replied and left the place hurriedly. She ran from the party hall.

Alex saw the pictures that his friends clicked all around and he zoomed in on a pic to see Clara who was watching something in the left corner. He dragged the picture to the left and saw himself standing there. His smirk grew wider and he felt proud.

Clara is exhausted completely after finishing her work. She bought all the necessary things for her project which she had to submit the next day. She forgot about the party scene and was fully occupied with her project thoughts.

She entered her home and her eyes widened in shock. Her tiredness flew away instantly as she walked slowly towards the hall area.

“Alex?” She murmured and looked at him accusingly. Did he come here to ask for Clara to marry?

Before anyone could say anything a loud sound echoed all around and Clara held her cheeks which were burning like hell. Her eyes layered with tears when she realized that her pops just slapped her. Whatever the reason may be, he could have asked her or talked to her. But he slapped her. Instant anger erupted from her as she looked at him with tears-filled eyes but a fire-filled face.

“Please, uncle. Let’s talk it out. Relax please.” Alex panicked seeing the sudden commotion. He is mainly concerned about whether Clara misunderstands him.

“Clara. I didn’t come here. Uncle only called me. He got to know from somebody” Alex explained hurriedly so that she didn’t misunderstand him. Clara didn’t even shift her gaze from her pop’s side.

“One of my friends was there where you went with this guy to enjoy the party” Ron yelled at Clara.

“So?” Clara asked calmly as she crossed her arms in a dominating way scaring the shit out of everyone.

“Why did you slap me?” She yelled the same way her father yelled at her.

Alex and her mom went blank with her sudden outburst.

“What exactly happened that you slapped me?” Clara yelled again, gritting her teeth. Her tears start flowing like a river.

She is hurt. She is angry. Her pops didn’t ask her or try to know her opinion. Instead, he just slapped her. If Alex told him that he liked Clara, her pops should have asked Clara about her thoughts. Clara didn’t even share her thoughts about Alex with anyone. She felt it right to tell her pops first. But here he just slapped her.

“Selfish girl” Ron mumbled as tears started flowing from his eyes. He didn’t think that his daughter would burst out like this. He and Clara have always been like best buddies. They don’t have any secrets between them. Ron couldn’t take this betrayal. His daughter hides this thing from him. She knew how far her father struggled for her education. She is not studying anything simple but medicine and she knows how tough it is. But she didn’t think once before breaking his heart.

“There is nothing more to happen” Ron is losing his temper inch by inch and the same goes for Clara.

“Please. Let us talk it out calmly. Don’t get hyper please, Ron” Bella pleaded to which the father and daughter paid no heed to it.

“Listen, Clara. I won’t allow you to marry this guy ever. Not even in your dreams”, Ron commented finally making Alex widen his eyes. He didn’t think that his love story would be ending this soon even before starting. Ron cares about nothing except for Clara’s career. But Clara seemed to be in another world of emotions.

“You know, what?” Clara asked, crossing her arms in a dominating way, scaring her mom like hell. She knew that her daughter would spit venom whenever she came to this form. But what she didn’t expect was that there would be some time when Clara would use this attitude for her dad whom she had worshipped like God.

On the other hand, Clara is becoming hysterical thinking about how can her father make decisions hastily. He didn’t even ask about her opinion but instead, he restricted her to even having feelings for anyone. This is not her dad for sure.

“I love him” Clara busted out in frustration as the clock stopped striking for everyone in the hall. Did she say those? That too to her father? These daughters and fathers have the same ego and they won’t bend in front of anyone. Till now they both have ruled the world by joining hands but when they came to have different opinions, the mess happened.

Alex didn’t even blink hearing the words from her mouth. It’s a fact that he wanted to hear these magical words but he didn’t expect that to be heard like this.

Ron stumbled slightly but he managed to not show his state to anyone as he looked at Clara with a fire-filled gaze.
