Enchanted Love

Alex touched the beard which grew more than natural. He has never been like this. It has been 32 days since he met Clara. Her answer and her decision shook him to the core. Did he realize this back then? Maybe if Jenny was well, she would have done something to unite them back then. Now nothing can save his relationship. Every day, Sally has been doing drama to annoy him to a greater level but all the while Frank was just silent to let Sally do anything with Alex.

“I know you are angry with me. But don’t skip food” Frank placed the breakfast on the table but as usual Alex didn’t even touch them as he took his keys from the shelf.

“Just maintain your silence as usual” Alex replied as he left the home. He is damn hurt with Frank as to why he changed overnight and even went to a silent mode since then.

“I will kill you Edward” Alina threw a pillow at him as she jumped like a monkey to attack him like a lion.

“Please, please. Just tell me what is my fault now so that I can get the punishment” Edward pouted like a kid and that’s how the anger melted into thin air with a smile of Alina.

“Okay final chance,” Alina spoke as she sat beside him with a blushing face. Damn, why should she blush when she is about to hit him. Edward did hear a warning bell but he needed to bet on his love as he gulped down his fear.

“What do you think is best?” She asked and Edward knew only one thing that he is gone today.

“NES or Francis?” She asked and again she bowed down, adjusting her hair. Edward blinked to understand her questions. She has been asking for some options for half an hour and he is just replying what was the use for those. And now bingo, he doesn’t even know what the options are for?

“Of course, I will surely choose one now” Edward spoke, gaining a wide grin from Alina who misunderstood that Edward finally had some brains.

“But can you enlighten me on what this is?” Edward asks and hides his face beside the pillow. Alina sighed hard and opened her eyes.

“Aren’t school names?” Edward suddenly asked, not able to understand why she wanted to choose one.

“Initially you told me to choose between well-reputed hospitals and now schools?” Edward summed up the options and smiled broadly as if he can guess what she is up to.

“Omg,” Edward gasped as Alina smiled too realizing that her husband is not a dumb one often.

“You got offers from all of these all? You wanted me to decide which one will suit you. If it’s Teaching profession or doctor?” He asked as the smile fades away instantly from Alina’s face. Of course, he is dumb as usual.

“Yeah, I got an offer from the hospital to be a gynecologist” Alina stood up and went inside angrily. Damn yeah, the hospitals she mentioned about earlier are known for the best gynec doctors. That’s how something clicked on Edward and his face turned red totally in amusement. Is that what he is thinking?

He took a small box which was decorated specially for him. He opened the wrapper and saw another wrapping. He made many guesses as if she would have wrapped small socks or small-sized something to show that there is a small member on the way soon. But Alina is Alina. She does everything so unique and unexpected.

Edward saw a small frame and his eyes teared up automatically to see the pregnancy test kit being framed cutely. He can’t just knock on the door empty-handed, isn’t he? He kept it inside the drawer and zoomed out to get something special for her to celebrate this amazing day.

“Clara, what are you planning? It’s been a month.” Bella slowly asked as she sat beside Clara who had a blank calm face. She stopped going to Alex’s place since that happened and even took a month’s leave to get herself back together. But nothing gave her peace and she found herself lost day by day.

“Just share with me what is bothering you?” Bella cupped her cheeks as Clara gave a small smile to her mom. She won’t hurt her parents more with her miseries. If she can’t overcome it, it’s her problem, not theirs.

“I am fine, mom.” Clara hugged her mom.

“These days I was just wondering if I made a correct decision or not and finally I knew that I am happy here with my decision.” She added as Bella sighed long. She wished for her daughter’s happiness and thought that it would be with Alex.

“If you are happy, we won’t force anything on you. We just want you to be independent and always happy.” Bella kissed her forehead and left the room leaving Clara behind who had still heads clouded with confusion, sadness, and even anger. She has no answers as to why she is feeling such things. Maybe she should check with a psychiatric doctor and pour everything out.

“You all don’t want my Jenny to even wake up” Sally was screaming in the middle of the hall as Frank sat there completely exhausted.

“Wow, how did you find this secret?” Alex mocked with a taunting smile.

“I have even named all property under my name. I will take her thumbprint now” he adds a little more fuel to the fire. Anna was supporting her aunt in this emotional battle while Alex’s patience crossed all limits. He had a hard time believing that Clara will never be in his life and they won’t be together. These people are not even letting him mourn.

“I saw her moving when I spoke about your marriage” Sally blurted out as Frank widened his eyes. Does that happen? Frank has been watching her keenly but she never did that.

“Wow, impressive” Alex can’t believe how his aunt started lying about her sister now.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Alex, please don’t throw words which you can’t take back. Sally never lies and please let her talk” Frank is now annoyed with Alex’s behavior. He has not been himself for the last few days and has been insulting people which is not his nature though. Frank lets him do as he too knows what he has been through.

“Alex, I realized that you would not believe me.” Sally’s words were very hurt as Alex rolled his eyes. He won’t fall for this drama.

“The girl left you and it’s high time you focus on your life.” Sally grabbed Alex’s hands for support.

“Yes. That’s what I have been telling you for more than a month. It’s my life and for hell’s sake, leave me alone” Alex screamed as he shrugged off her hands. He left his room and slammed the door. These people are making him sick. Just because he listens to everything and obeys them, it doesn’t mean that he will do every damn thing they suggested.

“Why are you doing this? Don’t force him” Frank spoke with a tired voice.

“As long as he is alone, I am scared that that girl will come again.” Sally expressed her fear as Frank sighed long.

“I will never allow that girl to be around my Jenny ever. She should never come here” Sally’s eyes welled up seeing her lifeless sister.

“Whatever happened, it’s not her mistake. She is not even aware of anything” Frank tries to make Sally understand but her one glare is enough to make Frank shut his mouth.

“Not her mistake?” Sally asked as she strode toward him angrily.

“Because of her, my Jenny is like this. She is the cause of the curse to this family” Sally screamed as she cried, closing her face.

“If Alex didn’t marry, he will get her back to this home and I can’t see that happening.” Sally wiped her tears angrily.

“24 hours, if you didn’t make him agree, I will not sit back” Sally literally blackmailed Frank who gasped at her words.

“If it doesn’t happen, I will tell Alex and Clara about the real incident which made Jenny like this.” Sally’s words made Frank snap open his eyes wider. She can’t be blackmailing him like this. But she is.

“Sally, please” Frank didn’t find any words to describe anything.

“Your time starts now” Sally checked her watch.

“I know you can make Alex do anything. He listens to you. So don’t put this drama face” Sally added as she turned to leave her room.

“I am not bluffing. I am arranging their engagement tomorrow, if he didnt agree, I will announce to everyone how Clara is the reason behind my Jenny’s state” Sally left the place as Frank shattered. He can’t let this happen. Clara is too innocent to bear this thing. She can never imagine something like this had happened. He looked at the room of his son and decided to put more pressure so that he would agree to the engagement.
