Enchanted Love

It has been a hectic day for both Alex and Clara. Can they be left alone for at least two minutes? Alex was cursing his dad who made sure to not let them even talk. But Frank was scared least about it.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Clara enjoyed everything about it. She loved the way they all praised her looks. She loved how they all pampered her. All the kids were seated around her checking her jewels and everything. Alex is pissed off seeing how this is not affecting her in any way.

“If you can’t do this, there is no use in having you as my friend” Alex whispered yelled at Edward while he turned sway unaffected by his words

“Edward, I will divorce you” Alex threatened.

“Go ahead. I can divorce anyone except for my Ani” he replied with a cheesy smile.

“Won’t you do this for your sister?” Alex asked as Edward looked at his side.

“Fine. I will get her to meet you only for Clara” Edward stood up. Alex widened his eyes as he agreed instantly hearing Clara’s name. Did they become so close?

“I will just kidnap her” Edward added and left the place as Alex rolled his eyes at his cheesy comments. Alex went to his bedroom to wait for Clara there.

Alex entered his room and was surprised to see the entire arrangement. Fully in red, it glowed like a palace of love. In the right corner, there was a small fountain, of course, a fountain of lamps that looked so cute to make the place look like a paradise.

His eyes stopped at the centre of the room just above his bed, where his and Clara’s picture was hanging there, almost hiding the full wall. He is amazed as to how the picture which they took that morning can be framed this soon? Her face was blushing when he made her wear the ring.

The beautiful part of the arrangement is the picture in the frame beside his bed. It was taken on their engagement without their knowledge. They both were looking so cute in that pic that made him blush.

Nothing to say about the rose petals over the bed. He looked at Alina who was busy arranging everything for her friend and him. He took her hands, startling her.

“It’s really so sweet of you. I didn’t expect this. You are incredible, sister” Alex blurted out, making Alina blush instantly. She always wanted to have a nice relationship with Clara’s husband but didn’t think that to be fulfilled on the very first day. Calling her sister, she couldn’t hide her smile anymore.

“As your girl didn’t come, you have started flirting with my girl?” Edward asked, breaking their moment as he entered the room with a frown.

“If you have flirted with your girl, who would even dare to flirt with her?” Alex asked with a wink, making Edward gasp loudly. Alina looked at Edward as if he had some more things to console her.

“By the way, how can you let this beautiful girl work all alone?” Alex asked as he gently took the roses from Alina’s hand.

“If you are done igniting a fire in my home, why don’t you do the same with your home?” Edward asked and signalled at the entrance where Clara was standing, lowering her head.

“Didn’t you leave the room yet?” Alex asked without taking her eyes from Clara, making Edward widen his eyes.

“I have something more interesting to do than to leave the room” Edward sat there crossing his legs as if he was set to watch the film.

“Didn’t you have something to sort it out with him?” Alex asked Alina as she already pulled Edward by his collar.

“Let’s sort our things first so that they can have some quality time together,” Alina told and pulled him with her, making Alex smirk at his friend.

“Thank you” Clara mumbled, breaking the awkward silence around the room. Alex thought that he would pull her and hug her instantly. But he couldn’t do so as he found it so odd. He started thinking about her reaction and wanted to impress her first.

“For what?” He asks, sitting beside her, closing the little gap and Clara gets tensed with his closeness.

“For BMW.  I didn’t think that you would take my words seriously” she mumbled and showed her happiness at how she felt about his actions.

“If you thank me every time, you won’t have enough time, ” he replied with a smile.

“But yeah, it’s not my earned money. I have asked dad for this. But I promise that I will fulfill your wish with my hard-earned money” he said seriously.

“Who told you that I would mind that?” She asked coming to her sassy mode

“I should enjoy the perks of being the wife of a rich guy,” she added with a mischievous look, making him smile.

“Should I go shopping tomorrow? This is hard work and all. Just forget about it and let’s enjoy your dad’s money. What do you think?” Did she ask, smiling broadly?

“Sounds cool. I am even bored at work. Let’s do as you say” he played along.

“Are you not afraid that I might be a gold digger or something like that?” Clara asked as her plan failed. She wants to scare Alex but he is cool about it.

“The girl who doesn’t accept any gift from her fiance, what would you think of her?” He asked, pulling her gently towards him.

“Moreover the first time I met you, you were fighting for the room you have booked. Should I say more where I have noticed your character?” He asked, making her flattered with his observation.

“I am safe. But I can’t guarantee for you” Alex stood up to leave as everyone started calling for them for another ritual.

“What was it?” She asked running behind him.

“You are a nice girl for sure. But can you say the same for me?” He asked and left the room making her heartbeat go to rocket speed. Of course, he has a point. She has never observed anything with him. Other than the fact that she loves him, she doesn’t know anything about him.

With so much confusion, she sat across from him for the next game planned by Edward and Alina and everyone around her was very excited to play.

“Here we go. I have put the ring inside this pot. You both have to find it. Whoever finds it first will have the upper hand in your relationship. So make sure to win” Alina explained as she put the ring inside the yellow-coloured water pot. She mixed it well.

“It’s a famous game and has important values in many countries. So consider winning it at any cost.” Alina added with a wink.

“Clara, you have to win this at any cost” Jenny commented, making Alex widen his eyes. Is she his mom or what?

“Already I have won this against Alex’s dad just now. So I want you to join me so that we both can make them dance to our tune” she reasoned as everyone laughed but Alex pouted.

“Clara, you have to win dear” Frank too joined as Alex glared at him.

“Is there anyone on my side?” He asked with a frown.

“I am” Clara mumbled with a small smile that brought a smile over his lips. Both of them put their hands together inside and started searching. Clara has watched many Hindi serials and films and she prayed that Alex doesn’t use any trick to embarrass her in front of all. But Alex is busy searching for the ring, making her gasp.

She got the ring in the meantime but she kept it on one side as she slightly traces his fingers.

“Don’t divert me. I will win this at any cost.” He whispered and started searching again. Clara smiled seeing his other side. She slowly took the ring and pulled his finger. She gently made him wear the ring with a shy smile. His eyes twinkled in response as he took his hand to show that he won the game.

“Poor mom dad. I have won this and made you ashamed of me.” He mocked them as he showed his hands in front of them.

“But the game was to find it not to make someone wear it” Edward voiced out as everyone looked at his finger where he wore the ring and they knew what could have been done there inside the water. Clara went red with their looks and giggles. She wanted to run away from this crowd and hide her face somewhere.
