Enchanted Love

Sunday and Monday went by in a blink and Clara and Alex didn’t meet each other. She took her beautiful dress and got ready for college with curiosity. She doesn’t want to explain why she is excited but she knows that she feels something new and she likes it. She took her white coat and caressed it with so much love. Waving goodbye to her mom and dad, Clara left the home with a sandwich in her hand.

“He didn’t come today?” Rita, Clara’s friend, is disappointed. Clara let out a sigh and peeped out to see the same spot where Alex would always stand.

“That’s good,” Clara commented when she found out that he was not there. Maybe he was just teasing her the previous day. Clara should take her focus away from him for sure.

Clara found someone staring at her from the left side. She turned and widened her eyes when she noticed Alex standing there in his unique style.

“Omg, he is there, Clara” thanks to her friends who screamed audibly to Alex. Alex smiled hearing that and Clara slapped herself mentally to have such friends.

“Guys stop it. What will he think of me?” Clara yelled at her friends but the damage was already done and the train started moving. Alex winked at Clara right before the train picked up its speed making her go all red.

“If he looks at me, I would just run to him. Omg. He is too handsome” Rita commented as if she was fainting. Clara rolled her eyes at her words. What if he is handsome? It doesn’t matter to her at all.

Lots of assignments made her drained out and back to back lectures made her fully exhausted. She just wants to go to her home and sleep a full night to get freshen up.

Clara rested her head over the stem of the train and closed her eyes to enjoy the cool breeze touching her cheeks. The train stopped and all her friends gasped, making her scrunch her eyebrows. She opened her eyes and looked at her friends. They were staring at someplace. Clara turned to see who was there and jerked from her position to see Alex standing too close to her. She didn’t expect him in the evening either. Why did he come there?

“Hi” his voice reached her but she is not out from the shock yet.

“I am Alex Smith. Clara, right?” He asked to which she nodded her head slightly. Her friends became silent so that they could talk freely.

He took his glasses off and stared at the signal light which still had some seconds to go green.

“I don’t think that you are beautiful but my heart is not accepting that” every girl in that place went flat with his dialogue. Did they know that these words can be more se*y? It’s from the film but they forgot the original dialogue for sure. Alex has some charms to impress all girls. Clara’s heart accelerated to infinity. She didn’t expect him to talk like this. Damn, she is not even prepared.

He smiled at her red face and started talking again.

“Don’t wear a white colour dress. Please don’t let your hair open. And lastly, don’t ever use this pink shade lipstick” he was damn serious when he uttered those. Clara is confused with his words but still didn’t take her eyes off him. She felt like falling due to lack of oxygen and that’s when she noticed that he was holding her hands for support. She gulped visibly and processed his words again.

She blinked twice and got the courage to reply to him.

“Why?” She asked in her low voice which is barely audible to anyone around her. The train started moving slowly as the signal went green. Alex released her hands and walked, matching the speed of the train.

“Do you want to know why?” Alex asked as his smirk grew wider.

“Because if you ever try to do any of these, I can’t control myself from” Alex paused as the train picked up its speed a little faster and he ran a little to complete his sentence.

“From kissing you” with that he stood there and the train went away at jet speed. He did notice how she was shocked by his words. He smiled and rubbed his hair.

“Omg, if it’s for me, I would have fainted by now” Rita voiced out dreamily. All others were too shocked to even comment. Clara is just numb. Did he just propose to her? She didn’t expect this fast. She looked at her hands where he was holding her.

*******

Clara is pissed off now. It’s been days since she slept peacefully. And she knew that this day also she would not sleep. Why did he have to propose to her like this? A little part of her heart danced with his words. But she doesn’t want to get swayed away by these useless things.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You can leave your finger at least,” Bella commented with a giggle when she noticed her daughter was all nervous. She was biting her nails.

“Is everything fine dear?” Ron asked, keeping his hand on her head.

“Pops, I am just worried about projects.” Clara lied and faked her smile. His father took her food tray and started feeding her.

“I can eat” Clara tries to get her tray but Ron is adamant to feed her.

“My princess is studying hard only to achieve her dad’s dream. And can’t I just feed you?” Ron tossed the morsel into her mouth. Clara always feels like a princess in her father’s presence. She hugged him with a broad smile and finished her food.

Clara entered her room and applied oil on her hair. She was gazing at her features in the mirror. She used an extra liner today. Clara didn’t feel right about it.

“I can’t just get attracted towards anyone. I have to fulfil my pop’s dream and he has struggled a lot to give me a comfortable life” Clara advised herself and took a deep breath to let all those thoughts out from her mind system.

She rolled her eyes when her phone rang at that time. Who can disturb her at midnight other than Alina? Clara smiled and took the call. She sat over her couch.

“Hi doll” Clara greeted once she took the call.

“This Edward spoiled my life. He faked his love and trapped me with his buttered words. I am fed up with him” Clara kept the phone far away from her ears and still she could hear the complaints of Alina as she was shouting.

“Don’t listen to her. She is lying. I mean. She is overreacting.” Edward screamed from the other end. Clara sighed tiredly. Here she has many things to share with Alina and she instead has to solve her problem.

“Guys relax and tell me what happened for real?” Clara asked, irritated. Both were arguing without minding about Clara who is on the call.
