Enchanted Love

Clara read the message again and again as tears flowed down her eyes. Is it from Frank? Did he think that she would ruin his son’s life and that’s why he asked her not to come home from now on?

“Hello” Clara called Frank directly. She can’t quit her job for sure.

“Hello,” Frank’s voice was indifferent and of course, Clara didn’t like how he wished her without any dear.

“I can’t just accept your message and not come there. I will treat you till you stand by yourself” Clara spoke carefully so that Frank accepted her demand.

“I am fine now. There will be marriage in a few days here. So I wish to have a peaceful atmosphere” Frank’s words pricked Clara directly.

“I won’t interfere. In fact, if it’s not a drama and they wanted to get married, I would be happy for him” Clara can’t have Frank’s hatred for sure. This man’s love is too good to lose. She heard his long sigh. Okay, that’s bad. She has never begged even her dad for anything. Doesn’t this make Frank special?

“Can’t you understand my words? If it’s about your remuneration, I will ask Alex to settle with everything” If his behaviour hurts her, his words now killed her alive. Silent tears made her difficult to even reply to him.

“Guess everything is sorted.” Frank hangs up the call. Clara sat there staring at her ceiling.

*******

Clara entered the home even after the words of Frank. She needs to see if everyone is fine or not. For some reason, she felt Frank was under stress or something.

“Why are you here?” Anna asked as she had no idea why Clara had come to Alex’s home this early. For the past week, they didn’t meet even though Anna and Sally lives there, Frank made sure to keep Clara out of their sight.

Clara just got inside Frank’s room not wanting to answer Anna. The girl is annoying for sure. Can’t Alex choose someone good even though it’s for acting?

“If you think that your actions will make me leave this home, I won’t buy that acting” Clara snapped harshly as she sat across Frank who was shocked to see her in their home. Why should she come?

“Alex” Frank screamed, startling Clara as she stood up immediately.

Alex came inside running.

“Dad, are you alright?” Alex is panicked as he has never heard his dad scream like this.

“I told you to give her full payment so that she doesn’t need to come here,” Frank spoke again. Clara is one sensitive person and everyone knew that for sure. Harsh words and harsh behaviour would burn her like anything. She stood there unable to process her words of Frank.

“I am not going anywhere. No one can throw me outside” But the Clara standing there is little different from what they had in the picture. She is not going to repeat her mistake of just taking the words alone and crying over them for years. She will follow her heart and trust her decisions.

“Fine. If you both are teamed up against me, just get out of my room” Frank turned away his head as if he was done talking to them.

“What the hell is this dad? Please talk to me and tell me what is bothering you?” Alex asked in a little raised tone but Frank didn’t even budge a second.

*****

Clara decided to not leave the home till she gets her answer. She was just roaming here and there to kill time and occasionally she hopped up to see Frank. He is too adamant like a 5-year kid. He didn’t even come outside of his room since morning.

Anna smirked at Clara who was walking there in the hall. She entered the left side room suddenly where she already saw Alex inside. Can this create a little more chance for her to marry Alex?

“Ah! Alex” Clara stopped her tracks when she heard Anna’s voice from the small room.

“Leave me, Alex!” Anna spoke again as Clara stood there with a blank face.

“Seriously? Did he think that this cheap drama will affect me in any way” Clara mumbled harshly as she crushed the papers in her hand?

“You can shout whatever you want. I dont think anyone would believe you. But trust me, I won’t spare if you again do this trick with me” Alex’s voice made Clara widen her eyes. He was angry with Anna and it’s visible. What is happening there?

“Why are you angry with me?” Anna asked softly.

“Is it because you want your ex-wife to not feel sorry?” Anna added her questions as Alex took a deep breath.

“She is my wife. Not ex-wife. Hope you get that soon and get out of our home. I don’t get it why Sally aunty wanted to get you here?” Alex asked not aware of Clara’s presence there.

“It’s because my parents suddenly died of an accident and she couldn’t leave me there alone.” Anna tried to buy some points of sentiment.

“I am sorry for that. But can’t you see I am not interested in these so-called marriage talks? You should just let Sally aunty know and leave the place with her.” Alex tried to manipulate her with his soft talks. But his manners are the sole reason the girl is falling for him more.

“I am just grateful for the aunt that she sets up my marriage with you. I have made up my mind and I won’t back off.” Anna ran away from the place and she did not spare a glance at Clara.

So, it’s not a drama? Clara stood there blankly. If it’s not a drama, will he marry her for real? The way Frank behaved shows how much he wants Alex to marry someone else. Clara entered the room instantly to see why Alex hasn’t left the room. She saw him there closing his face with his palm. His back stiffened as if he recognised her presence around him.

“Are you alright?” Clara asked as she neared him. He didn’t think even a second to pull her and hugged her waist in his sitting position.

“Alex, leave me.” She tried to get herself freed but his grip was very tight and dominating. On the top of that, she could feel his little sobs.

“I am sorry. What should I do to show you that I am dying every second without you?” He asked out of the blue as he leaves her and stood up in front of her.

“Let’s just forget everything and move on?” He asked cupping her cheeks.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“If you were angry, I can apologise to you till my last breath. But the reason you gave for your decision is just ridiculous.” He paused.

“I heard everything you told to Alina that day” his words didnt shock her as she came to conclude this already.

“You can’t decide alone in this relationship, isn’t it?” He asked as he pulled her close to his side.

“If you want to act as if you are sacrificing your happiness for me, you are wrong. You should have known that I have no life without you.” His words held so much power that she shivered in his arms.

“I can forgive you for anything and everything. But you can’t leave my life as per your wish like this. I would never be able to forgive you for this” Alex kept his head over her forehead as tears made their way to his eyes.

“Alex, please. I don’t know anything. Right now I am not angry and I don’t want to be with you” she slowly detached herself from his side.

“I indeed feel like you always forgive me but I have always had a hard to forgive people who had hurt me. The problem is with me that I can never love you the same way I had. I dont want to ruin your life with my hatred.” Clara is very clear in her decision. Her reaction and her calmness started scaring Alex. He realised that he indeed lost her forever.

Can word destroy any relationship? Of course, it will for sure. Even though we dont mean any words, it will kill the people’s emotions entirely and they would be left with nothing more. Alex is a dream boy in everyone’s life but not everyone have everything. He too have flaws. But the problem is his flaw is way more hard one and it has the power to destroy people around him.

Clara on the other hand is not an easy-going girl. She can’t accept her dad’s words when he snap those in anger even though she knew that he would never mean it. How can she bear such words from her husband? Her heart stopped loving him the moment he told those venomous things. But she does have a soft spot for Alex and it will never fade away. She would wish him all the happiness in this world but would never come to his life again to ruin it.

A perfect relationship can’t be built on love alone. Expressing love, their sweet gestures, and their cosy moments are just a part of it but the main thing holding the base of every relationship is trust and respect. Clara didn’t trust him Alex didnt respect her. Their relationship broke because of this alone. Everyone would be going through a tough path and that is the test of the universe for them to prove their love or faith. Both failed in it and now Alex wanted to rectify it but Clara wanted to move on.
