Enchanted Love

Clara and Alex widened their eyes at him. Alex even noticed the girl’s pic when Jason sent them to Clara. The girl was just beautiful. Now even Clara had the thought that Jason might have some thoughts about her? She blinked to see if he was real or not.

“I don’t think this girl would suit me,” Jason replied after a pause, noticing their silent gaze. Now she wanted to ask more about his taste.

“Whom do you think will suit me?” Jason asked interrupting her questionnaire.

“By appearance” Jason added and turned to ask Clara.

“Don’t mind me telling this. Short girls won’t suit you. Maybe if it’s your shoulder height, it will look perfect.” Alex’s words made them turn to his side.

“Also, fairness is not beauty. For your heroic subtle appearance, I feel that a dusky skin girl with sharp features would make a perfect pair with you” okay, he has to point everything opposite to Clara. If they couldn’t identify this, they should be dumb. Clara and Jason looked at him with a knowing look while he cared least about it. Jason smiled inwardly and found them too cute. Of course the guy is Alex. His drunken state ignored him properly.

“Pop hair cut will do best” how can he be so oblivious?

“Bro, you have good eyesight.” Jason is impressed. He knew that Alex was just pissing off Clara. But he can’t deny the fact that the girl with these features would be splendid.

“What good eyesight? What’s wrong with short height girls? And who told you that fairness is not a beauty? Don’t tell me that nowadays you love the pop hairstyle. Did you forget how you were crazy about my long hair?” Clara snapped harshly without even minding anything. Alex and Jason looked at her as if she has grown some horns.

“Who was crazy about your long hair?” Jason wants to see if she would tell him that Alex was her husband or not. Jason doesn’t want to intrude her privacy but he wanted to see if he holds some place in her life or not.

“Who? I didn’t mention anything. I just asked about facts.” Clara replied and turned her gaze to the window. She closed her eyes in frustration. Her mouth needs a good lesson so that it doesn’t open unnecessarily.

“Long hair? Who was even crazy? He must be nuts. Long hair reminds me of ghosts” Alex replied with a smirk on his lips. He enjoys her annoyance and wants to play along.

“I guess he was scared if I choose his friend. So he stated everything opposite to you for me to stay away.” Jason replied with a smile. He doesn’t want to act like a cupid between the two. But they two are too cute that he wanted them to think about their decision.

“I am not his friend.” Clara snapped. Did he think of them as friends just because they hang out in shivay’s home?

“I didn’t even realise that I am stating everything opposite to her features. I have never even noticed anything in her.” Alex retorted.

“Whatever” Jason decided to keep quiet. They need to figure it out themselves. No one would be there to spoon-feed them.

Just like that, the drive ended as he dropped Jason at the junction near his home and both drove to her home.

“Come inside” Bella greeted him while Alex is hesitant to even face them. He felt guilty all of a sudden. It’s his first time facing them after that incident. What would be their thoughts on it? They would have bashed him for sure for whatever happened with their daughter.

“No, I am good” He tried to turn and leave the place as soon as possible. Clara came behind him. Bella widened her eyes at her daughter’s attire. She must have gone nuts. She controlled her giggle but failed miserably as she started laughing. Ron too joined her, making Clara more annoyed.

“Thanks for dropping me.” She replied with no sarcasm this time. She wanted to just get back to her bed for a little sleep. The day seemed to be longer than usual and her eyes gave up at last. She didn’t even mind acknowledging her parent’s teasing smiles.

“Alex with you?” Ron asked after wiping his tears, which is because of continuous laughter.

“I am the personal physio for his parents now” Clara formally expressed and got inside the home. She turned as she found them still standing out. They are not planning to get him inside isn’t it? Her mind talks got distracted when she saw Bella dragging Alex inside. Okay, that’s not cool.

“He said he needs to go” Clara stressed the words to her mom with so much anger to even bring him inside. Bella seemed to ignore her this time as well. That is not cool for real.

“Aunty, I guess she won’t like it if I come.” Alex doesn’t want to prolong this awkward meeting.

“It’s not her home. And I am not your aunty. Call me like you used to call me.” Bella crosses her arms dominating. Alex could see a glimpse of Clara in her attitude. Clara inherits all bossy attitude from her mom and dad. Perfect.

“Mom, how about just water?” Alex asked as Bella smiled in response and went inside to get a glass of water along with some snacks which she prepared for Clara.

“She is not your mom,” Clara said, gritting her teeth.

“Same way my dad becomes yours” he is in full revenge mode.

“We won’t ask what you guys are planning now. Even we won’t ask what the hell happened that day? We have no interest in your lives. But yeah, we don’t hate either of you. So don’t feel burdened.” Ron spoke as he sat opposite them with a tray.

“Did you have dinner?” Bella asked concerned. Alex stood up suddenly realising that he didn’t take the anti-allergy tablets for cauliflower which he had a few hours ago all thanks to his ex-wife.

“Ya, I think I need to go” Alex tried to leave as soon as possible but his eyes fell on the papers on the table.

“It’s just an insurance thing. They are asking about everything and I don’t think I have an original copy of the document.” Ron told him with so much sadness. Their medical expenses are going overboard every month and he wanted to cover them with insurance. But it seems like not possible with his carelessness.

“Dad, it’s not needed nowadays. Let me come with you tomorrow and I know one of my friends in this department.” Alex read the documents they have and mentally noted to beg for Hari to help him get through this.

Ron felt so grateful for his instant help. But he is hesitant to accept it though.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Please, dont feel burdened. I hope our relationship doesn’t affect you in any way.” Alex spoke in just one line as Ron smiled warmly. He liked this guy from day one and always saw consistent growth in his character. His heart was always pained thinking about what could have happened between them?

“Take this” Clara came back from her room with a glass of water and a tablet. Alex looked on surprised. That was his anti-allergy tablets but not the one he always uses. Ron went to help his wife to arrange for snacks.

“No explanations and no nothing. Take it and leave the place” Clara spat harshly as if she doesn’t like him intruding into her life again. She wants him to stay away from her parents who seem to be very happy with his presence as if they have met their long lost son.

He took the medicine silently and a small smirk plays across his lips as if planning something for all the things she has spoken to him since she met him.

Of course, the night has to be long.

“Snacks are ready” Bella came with some hot pakoras and some biscuits.

“Mom, his health is not good. He needs to rest.” Clara knew that this always works with her mom.

“Omg. What happened to him?” Bella asked as she checked his temperature.

“If I eat your handmade snacks, everything will be fine” Clara widened her eyes when he spat those. He sat there like a king and started eating those as if he had been hungry for ages.

“You said you have to go?” Clara asked through gritted teeth.

“If you insist” Alex stood up with a long face, making her gape at his acting. Bella glared at her daughter for her manners.

“It’s not her home. I won’t repeat this again” Bella glared at both and placed a few more snacks over his plate to eat. Alex smirked at Clara and was gulping at them as if he was on a trip.

“I am going to sleep” Clara stood up as she had no patience to watch this melodrama. Her mom is being crazy here. She is worrying about Alex more than Clara. Did they adopt her in the first place? Is she not their daughter?

Alex looked at Clara and smirked.

“Ouch it’s hot” Alex purposefully dropped the dish on the plate as his eyes didn’t leave Clara who seemed to be pissed off with his every move.

“Let me feed you then” Bella took the piece and gave it to him. That’s it. Clara threw the vase nearby and walked fast to her room and slammed the door harshly. But no one seemed to be disturbed by her attitude. As for Bella, she just prayed that there could be a miracle happening and they both again come closer. As for Ron, he just wanted to know what was the problem between them and he wants to solve it for them. But Clara is adamant not telling anyone about her side. Alex expressed as to why he was angry? But Clara never spoke about it to anyone.
