Enchanted Love

Thirteen years ago

“Where are the kids?” John asked, worried for his son who was not in his sight for almost four hours.

“He is with Sana.” Harish, Sana’s father exclaimed, pouring another drink to his friend who started enjoying it.

“He is too silent. Extremely opposite to you” Harish commented as John couldn’t agree to that more.

“As he takes after me” Nandhini sat across them with a smile. John smiled at his wife, Nandhini and they all engrossed in another round of gossip.

“Dad, omg. Look at this” Sana came running while Jason ran behind her to stop her from telling anything.

“Jason is looking like a girl here” Sana showed the picture which was taken recently and John and Nandhini had no idea of it. It was just for fun where his grandma wanted to take a picture of him.

“Sana. Stop it” Jason screamed as tears threatened to spill over his face. He is an extremely silent guy who hates to even have a center of attention on his birthday. But this girl is showing his most private picture to everyone and they started laughing at him, making him feel so ashamed. He couldn’t stop his tears as it turned to anger towards his best friend, Sana. A little scene made him feel so bad that he ran away from that place and locked him up.

After that little incident, he never talked with Sana. Even when they met on a few occasions, Jason tried to give her rude replies and left the place and that’s how Sana stopped visiting their home.

Present.

Jason and Sana recalled their fight as both smiled at each other realizing how stupid both were. Even Sana was strongly against this marriage because of Jason’s immature and silent nature which would be her opposite.

“Hi” Jason smiled broadly and Sana returned the smile.

“It’s a long time, really” Jason exclaimed and of course noticed how Sana was silent which is not her style.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Is anything bothering you?” Jason raised a question as Sana nodded negatively and started talking with her friends ignoring Jason.

Clara was pleading with Alex to not create any scene there.

“You are my heaven. You are my passion. You are my wish” Alex started singing without glancing at anyone but Clara. He looked like a Hollywood romantic hero in those expressions and mannerisms. Everyone shifted their attention from the state to his side where he effortlessly pulled Clara and danced to fill the hall with romance. John signalled the DJ to play the music alone to help Alex.

You’re are the peace of my soul

You’re the soothing of my eyes

You’re the beat of my heart

Alex twirled her as he meant those words just for her. She was too embarrassed to even look around who was just admiring them.

I love you

He mumbled as he kissed her forehead.

“Thanks for this attention. Now stop” Clara voiced out in a low tone with a small smile. He has gone crazy post their union for sure.

“It was just a trailer of my surprise. Wanna know what I want to do?” he asked as she widened her eyes when he bent down on his knees taking her hand.

“Will you marry me?” he asked as a shade of pink touched her cheeks. She looked here and there and Alina gave her a signal to say yes.

“No” she yelled as she took her hands away.

“Omg. Did she deny you?” Edward added with a gasp while John and Nadhini smiled at them.

“If you are worried about your husband, I will handle him. Just marry me” Alex added with his lopsided smile.

“Stop this. Everyone is watching us. We came here for Jason’s engagement. And we are already married.” Clara is now completely flushed to even look at anyone beside him. He just chuckled at her state while grabbing his cute wife to his side.

“Let’s get married again with all the rituals. It would be fun” Alex was serious and Clara opened her mouth wider.

“Alex. Time is up for these useless jokes. Now come, please. Let’s leave” Clara pulled him from that pose and Alex didn’t stop her as he doesn’t want to force her anymore. But he had decided to have a cute wedding once again.

Jason grabbed Sana to a side room grabbing the opportunity.

“Leave me,” Sana yelled as she pushed him with so much anger.

“Sana?” Jason is now confused about her behavior.

“Are you not interested in this marriage?” Jason asked directly as Sana shot up a glare at him as if it was not obvious.

“fighting may be childish. But I hate you” Sana spoke, pushing him to the wall as tears rolled down her cheeks.

“You are an idiotic immature brat for me forever” She snapped angrily and left the place leaving Jason shocked. He was angry but never thought that the fight would have affected her this much. He silently climbed up the stage and stood behind her.

Clara pushed Alex and was closing her face with her palm.

“I hate you” Clara mumbled as she stomped her foot recalling the giggles of everyone.

“But I love you and it’s enough for us” He grabbed her from behind.

“About marriage. I am serious and we shall plan things once we are home. Now let’s attend this joker’s engagement” Alex spoke as she pouted.

“I am not going to marry you again.” she stomped her foot as she left the place making him chuckle at her antics.

The function was elegant in all senses as John made sure to please his status from every corner. Soon Jason’s colleagues filled in the hall who gasped seeing his identity. Male doctors and staffs admired his simplicity while female staffs and doctors felt so stupid to not even try to be his friend. Jason is handsome for sure but his softness towards Clara made all female colleagues jealous and they loathed him a lot.

“Clara must have known this and that’s why her behaviour was different with Jason alone” Shree commented glaring at Clara who was enjoying her drinks with Alina.

“Yeah, she would always be in her mocking mode but with Jason, she never did that. How cheap” another one commented.

“I guess you both are right. But I don’t get it that she doesn’t have to get Jason’s good books. I mean what is his specialty?” Both the girls turned around to see Alex who asked the question seriously and both the girls were just lost in his amber eyes. Damn what an eyes? His partly gelled hair adds more se*iness to his looks. He asked the question again to get the girls back to the ground.

“Excuse me?” Shree snapped.

“If it’s for good looks, Clara already has a dashing one in her life and if it’s for money, I don’t think she gives importance to those and even so, her sweetheart can appoint Jason as her bodyguard” Alex’s voice was so low that both the girls felt their neck hair straightens with his aura. The way he kept his expression showed how much he wished to rip those mouths who uttered nonsense for Clara.

Shree grabbed her friend and left the place as she could feel the anger of Alex dangerously.

Realising Clara standing there with no one beside her, Shree approached. There is no way she would let this insult aside without giving a befitting reply to Clara.

“Grace, should we get a lesson from our colleague?” Shree asked as Clara looked at Shree. She twitched her eyes to remember where she met this girl and sighed recalling her to be her colleague. Clara was never welcomed by any female doctors and she also never minded even joining them for coffee.

“What lesson?” Grace asked her friend to take the conversation ahead.

“How to trap rich boys? Or else how to attract them to protect us all time. Like these?” Shree snapped smiling at Clara. Alex fisted his hand seeing the audacity of the girls to bully Clara directly. Is this how she works there all the time? He felt powerless to even think about how much she would have suffered there alone.

Alex marched to them to grab Clara but someone stopped him at the moment.

“Don’t think that she needs anyone to protect herself. If you think so, I must say that this Clara would shock you. Wait and see how she handles this” Jason’s replies made Alex blank. What does he mean? Clara is always a sensitive girl and would cry for such words like months and months. She can’t take criticism from anyone.

The moment Alex looked at her again, he knew that the girl standing in front of him was not his old timid Jaan. She has changed a lot and at least for good
