A friend
She didn’t like how he spelt her name. Should she punish him so that he thinks a thousand times before calling her by anything other than Jaan? She looked at the hot coffee and back at Alex. An evil grin appeared over her lips as she leisurely took his fingers and dipped them slightly and took them out instantly not wanting to hurt him literally.
Alex jumped from his position and sat over his bed with a jerk. He opened his eyes wider, sensing the hot coffee in his fingers.
“What the hell?” Alex screamed as he puffed his finger. Clara kept the tray back and looked at him with bored eyes.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“One more time, you call me other than Jaan, you will see the worst of me” She voiced out possessively as she pulled him by his collar. Her tone was scary and dripped with dominance.
“Call me, Jaan,” she demanded him. He is fully awake now and is very tired right now. But her tiny possessive nature made him go crazy over her all again and he fell for her every second. His lips curved up to a boring smile realising the reason for her anger. He hugged her instantly, melting her anger into pudding.
“Jaan, where are you going now, after you wake me up for nothing?” Alex pouted as she left his side to note down something in her diary.
“I will set some examples to all those who do love marriages even before dating each other.” She kept her pen inside her purse as she kept the diary inside the safe.
“And that’s how?” He asked crossing his arms curiously to know her intentions.
“Mentioning about the reason we are having arguments and notifying the time we are having fights” Clara replied with a smile making his frown grow deeper. Is this a joke?
“That is very rude of you, jaan. The diary is filled already. Moreover, today it’s not even a fight. How can you do this to me?” Alex defended everything but Clara locked the cupboard giving a boring look to him.
“Jaan, I just love whenever you get annoyed with me. But it doesn’t mean that we are fighting, right?” He asked like a kid hugging her from the backside as he snuggled in the crook of her neck.
“It’s not fighting as you said. But when will you understand that these small arguments are like slow poison which will destroy our happiness in seconds.?” Clara pushed him aside as she said those words. Clara has seen many failed marriages in her life. Be her favourite teacher, Rolex, who was divorced, has shared her sad story with Clara. Be it her friends who have had divorced parents. Moreover, she is very sensitive towards her close ones. She knew that she was not being practical here. But she doesn’t want to be the one too.
Alex on the other hand sighed tiredly. He completely understands her view but she needs to open up and live happily with him without the fear of the future. He always makes efforts to make her feel secure. But it will take time for sure.
“Let’s just fix that it’s a fight. And I would like to console you in my ways.” Alex pulled her again to console her in his charming style.
“Listen, I am not angry. So there is no need for this consolation. I have a few works to finish. So you go and get ready” Clara pushed him with a shy smile. He always does this to change the topic.
“You have marked this as our fight day. So I want you to remember the way I console you every time you see this diary, not the way we fought.” Alex pouted as Clara couldn’t help but giggle at her. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he ruffled his hair with her other hand making him smile.
“Alex, darling” both were startled by a scream from outside. Alex is excited to hear the voice whereas Gaudi has no clue of who it must be? Darling? And moreover a female voice? That is not at all fair.
“Mira?” Alex gasped as he ran to the hall, having Clara behind him.
“Omg, Mira. This is Clara. And Clara, this is Mira, my childhood friend” Alex introduced Mira to her. Clara looked at the new girl in her life. She is an absolute beauty with a round face and her little chubby cheeks. Her eyes are well-shaped and round making her more attractive. There are no words to describe her perfect lips. In short, she is just an angel from heaven. Clara didn’t like the way Alex hugged the girl and specially when the girl is this beautiful. But right now, she can’t be a jealous wife. So she forced a smile as she shook Mira’s hands.
Clara is hell annoyed as Alex didn’t even spare a glance towards her. He is busy telling his love story to his friend. Mira returned from India after a long time so it’s obvious that Alex would be damn excited to share everything with her.
“I want to get consoled right now,” Clara whispered near Alex’s ears, making him jump in shock. He looked at her side whereas she gave a stern look that she meant it for real. Is she for real? She always surprises him with her new antics. But asking for a kiss in front of another person, he didn’t expect this from Clara.
“Are you not shy?” Alex asked with a wide smirk crossing his lips. Mira is busy looking at their marriage album. She was calm and observed everything.
“Shy? I don’t know if I should be? I guess I have a full license for that. If you are shy, let it be” Clara just smirks at him. She now wants to do something to ease the little uneasiness in her heart seeing Mira.
How can Alex let go of this sweet challenge? He gently pulled her waist ignoring the guest who was checking their every action. Without giving any warning to Clara, he pecked her lips startlingly. She just wanted to pull his legs or something. But didn’t expect him to directly kiss her lips. She looked at Mira who was watching them as if she was sitting in any theatre. Clara stood up abruptly pushing Alex and ran to her room all blushing. The plan just backfired when she couldn’t take this open romance in front of anyone. She could hear them laughing at her.

A little snack time is all needed for her to mingle well with Mira. She is the sweetest person she has ever met. Mira had no pride at all even though she was well educated and had a beautiful appearance. The most comforting thing is Mira understands Clara’s nature instantly and makes her feel comfortable around her. Clara loved the girl and now the little jealousy she felt is all gone. She started loving their bond more.
Mira shares many memories of her with Alex. Clara just loved their bond. She just wished to have such a friend in her life too. But other than Alina, she doesn’t have anyone. Alina is like her sister. she never even goes to the opposite side in any game. But with Mira and Alex, they fight a lot and have so much fun with each other. Their bond is so admirable.
“It’s more than 30minutes, he is still talking to his clients,” Mira exclaimed, not liking the idea.
“If he talks to me for thirty minutes, there would be an argument for sure” Clara doesn’t share anything with anyone other than Alina. But with Mira, she found that comfort. Maybe this girl would help her to change her introverted nature.
“I have full trust in my Alex.” Mira shrugged off her shoulders. Hearing Her Alex, Clara felt a little odd but she ignored it and smiled at her.
“Our day can never be full without any little argument,” Clara replied as she served her some snacks to have while waiting for Alex to scream or to start anything.
Before they could take another bite of the sandwich, Alex screamed from inside. Alex is a very easy going and even polite person but that’s till you test him with his patience. He loses his cool easily and never has control over his words ever. Clara knew that quality of him and always feared for him. She can guess that Alex transforms into a new person whenever he is tense or angry. That Alex, she never wanted to mess with. She always acts cool and calms him down with her cute gestures so that they won’t turn into an ugly fight. But after that shouting session, it would be Alex to run behind her to ask for an apology.
Clara wondered the reason for which he is shooting like this and stood up to confront him before it turned out to be an ugly fight in front of Mira.
