Enchanted Love

Alex recalled the day she left for camp. She even told him that she is not feeling well and she bought some medicine too. But both of them were unaware of the fact that the small life inside made her sick. Maybe if they came to know about it back then, they wouldn’t have even lost their kid. Alex could see a tiny baby who has Clara’s innocent beauty with his charming smile. Will he be able to see him again in his life? Everything around him felt shattering to pieces as he looked around to stabilise his vision. That’s when he saw Mira standing there with so much anger. Maybe she is arguing with Alina about something.

Mira felt rage toward Alina. Of course, whatever happened was not a pleasant one but Alina did everything. She made her life hell. She messaged her mom. Her mom is not well now and the reason is Alina who has no connection with her. How the hell can she do that to her?

“Do you know what? I don’t feel sorry for Mira. I know that I did the right thing.” Alina spoke and Edward looked away to control his disappointment. He is deeply hurt seeing how Alina hides such a thing from him. She even did something without his knowledge. Mira is his friend too.

“Mind your language, Alina. You have no right to point out my character.” Mira yelled at Alina, grabbing her like a maniac.

“Try to hurt me, if you can manage the aftermath” Alina glared at Mira. She doesn’t like the way Mira treated Clara back then. Physically hurting her when she was in the most painful situation, was not a nice thing for sure.

“I am not Clara to let you hurt me as she did. I will break your bones and give those to dogs” Alina replied as Mira took her hands back. Of course, she did realise that she shouldn’t have hurt Clara that day. She was so emotionally hurt that she became violent. Clara had her miscarriage too. Mira felt bad but at the same time, she can’t just let these things happen like this.

“Now everyone would pity her and of course, I am also feeling very sorry about whatever happened to her. But it doesn’t give her any right to do whatever she did that day. In anger, she even posted my diary picture on his family group. Did you even know how much I was humiliated because of that?” Mira doesn’t like how the event turned against her and now it is in their favour Clara. She needs to act fast and she knew that pointing out Clara’s mistake would be the best at this time.

“I don’t have any idea about this matter. But I know that Clara would never do anything like this” Alina spoke, crossing her arms. Alex looked up and knew why he could never get Alina’s place in Clara’s life.

“The message was sent from her mobile” Mira stressed the words.

“I didn’t do that,” Clara replied instantly.

“We will be an idiot to believe your words. It’s crystal clear and here, you are just simply saying that you didn’t do that. Who will believe it?” Mira clapped her hands.

“I believe her ” Alex screamed as he turned to Mira with a look that made her open her real eyes now. He walked toward Mira with so much arrogance.

“That day also I believed her and this day also I will believe her if she says so” Alex stressed every word as Clara looked at him astonishingly. Does it mean that he believed her words that day because she said so? His view was very simple. He trusts her words alone.

A hell of silence prevailed and Clara didn’t blink away from Alex as she was calculating the events again. Of course she is hurt but he didnt take Mira’s side but just acted with her actions alone.

Mira found it wise to leave the place. She doesn’t want to stay there to get more humiliation. No one cared to understand her pain. No one, not even Alex, is ready to think about her now. What is the use of her stay there? She packed her bags to leave the place.

There was some innovation going on downstairs and thanks to Charlotte who asked them to rest well as they don’t need to attend that. But she took Caroline with them. No one is bothering to see Caroline who has some evil plans all ready to run away again as she lost trust in Alina and all. She can’t sacrifice her life for sure.

Alex was sitting there for hours and he didn’t even look at anyone as he was facing the window. Clara has a blank expression now. She thought that she would enjoy it when Alex came to know about her truth and started regretting his actions. But she was wrong. It started to hurt more when she told everyone about it.

“Guys, nothing will sort out if you stay in silence or hunger. Let me bring something to eat” Jason voiced out at the right time again showing his presence in the room which was not at all noticed by anyone.

Alina sat over the left corner with her tray as Clara sat beside her. Alex slowly stood up to leave the place not wanting to eat anything at least now. Edward grabbed his friend.

“Please” Alex’s voice choked as he tries to reason something.

“Sit here” Edward is adamant as he made him sit beside him and served him the food. Both Alex and Edward had their food silently while Alina and Clara finished it in one go.

The full day went by with no discussion and no talks, but with stares only. Clara came outside after having a warm bath and wiped her hair. Now everything is clear. What will Alex do? Will he apologize to her? What should she do? Should she accept it?

“Alex slept in my room. So I didn’t disturb him.” Jason’s voice broke her thoughts. She didn’t bother to reply to him as she started applying her moisturizer.

“Your love and marriage story is full of drama. I should make a film out of it. What do you think?” he asked with a giggle as she threw a dangerous glare at him.

“I should get a proper role in that film. Maybe a dashing handsome second lead?” Jason asked as Clara rolled her eyes at him.

“We should make some changes in the track as after the breakup, you are living with me in my home and we both decided to marry now. And now Alex comes to know about everything. The ending will be how he is convincing you or what will happen. Who will become the second lead will be the climax” Jason was seriously explaining as Clara started laughing at his dramatic thought. Jason smiled as she at least changed her expression.

“How about a sudden twist that the female lead happens to be a witch and she curses both the men and leads a happy life all alone?” Clara asked, fully immersed in the story.

“Please curse me for a lifelong punishment to be with you?” Jason spoke in between his laughter.

“Excuse me?” Clara looked at him alarmed.

“Oh come on. Lifetime friend. You are too nagging for a wife. I can’t tolerate it.” Jason shrugged his shoulders as Clara gaped at him.

“But on a serious note, what would be the climax here?” Jason asked as he sat beside Clara. She just smiled at him and went away not even bothering to reply to him. What the hell is this girl thinking?

****

For two days with no interactions, everyone was silent in their room. Even Alina and Edward didn’t speak to each other. Edward is hell angry with Alina for hiding such a thing from him. Moreover, she was the root cause of their problem. Edward just couldn’t believe that. Alex was with his dad but he didn’t even speak a word after that. Frank is broke beyond anything after he came to know about that. Clara on the other hand looked so peaceful as she roamed around the home like a cheerful teenager. Mira decided to give a little time to her decision as she stayed back to see the further drama.

Amidst this, Caroline made a full plan to run away by night.

“Is everything okay?” Charlotte asked as she already noticed their dull faces for two days.

“We were too tired. Now everything is okay” Clara beamed as she sat across the dining table.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Alex didn’t come?” Edward asked as Clara looked up and found him nowhere.

“He is fasting, did you forget?” Frank spoke and sat with Clara.

“and this fasting is not the one you created. It’s a special one and in this, he won’t even drink water for a full day” Frank whispered to Clara with a wink.

“I heard everything and now I don’t want to cry over the past. Let’s just forget everything and move on” Frank kept his hand over her head with a blessing.

“I am happy that at last, you both have sorted out your issues.” Frank is damn happy and his happiness overshadows the pain of losing his grandkid. Of course, it’s more painful for him to bear the loss of a kid for the second time in their family. But he doesn’t want to talk about it or think about it.

“If you are not angry now, shall we go for a walk and continue our therapy today?” Clara asked as Frank agreed instantly. He wants to be like before soon so that he can enjoy it with his family now.

Clara and Frank were in the garden alone when Edward grabbed Alex and went there. The air thickened suddenly as Alex didn’t even lift his eyes either to meet Clara or his dad.

Alina glared at Edward for this unwanted try. But Edward is not even ready to acknowledge her glare, making her piss to a next level.

“He wanted to tell something” Edward spoke as he urged Alex to speak. Alex looked at Edward and back to the banyan tree beside them, having no words to start his turmoil. What would he say? Just sorry? Or perhaps sorry only. He is even not sure if his sorry would be able to fill the gap in everything.

As everyone was watchin him say something, Alex took a deep breath.

“Caroline is not happy with this marriage,” Alex said as a matter of fact.

“Omg, is that so? We all came here to celebrate her marriage. Isn’t it?” Edward mocked his friend for using such lame dialogue to start his voice again.

“Dad, you all carry on. I will be joining you in two minutes” Clara said, breaking the conversation as she took the mobile phone as if she has something important to attend to.

“Just say sorry and finish this, buddy” Edward pulled his hair out of frustration. What he doesn’t know is a simple sorry can’t make things right for sure. But no one in the garden seemed to know this reality except for Alex.

Apologizing is not easy at all when we realise that our mistake is not worth forgiving. It’s not even a mistake in the first place.
