Enchanted Love

Clara washed her face again and again as Elena’s words rang inside her head.

“Do you plan to hide here for the rest of the function?” Alex asked as he entered the room where Clara was standing near the window.

“Time is up for your word now” Clara turned to his side shocked. Isn’t that what she decided.?

“Now your word can’t stop me from marrying Anna.” He spoke as he neared her. Clara felt her heart bleed with his words. Did she lose her chance of winning him back? Did she lose her happiness again?

“Sensing your expressions, I guess you want some chances to change your decision” He spoke, grabbing her waist to his side.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“How about a hug?” He asked, fanning her cheeks which turned red with his words.

“Now one hug can stop everything and trust me, I will make everything right in our life.” His words spit honesty in every letter.

“Honey, don’t be adamant. You are not punishing yourself. You are punishing me” He commented with little tears in his eyes as he kept her forehead with her. All the while, she was sobbing silently. Why does he have to be so sweet to her all the time?

“I am sorry” She replied as his grip loosened instantly.

“Save it” He replied harshly as he left the room with so much anger.

“I know whatever happened shouldn’t be this way. But this extreme step cant be a solution.” He left the room quickly as if he had something to take care of.

“Ladies and gentlemen” Clara heard his voice with the same anger. What is he going to say now? Clara ran to the hall to see the happenings

Clara froze when he uttered something. Did she expect this? Yes, but why can’t she accept?

One month, she was consoling her heart that everything is fated to go as this but seeing those happening in front of her, she just can’t accept it.

“I am not going there to take part in this drama.” That was unexpected from Edward.

“Why?” Alina is not in the mood to argue as she asks him softly.

“Darling, Clara is already in her world full of pain. We should help her to see life from our view. we should not add her miseries. Isn’t it?” Edward asked with a pout.

“Oh, so you are the only one caring for her. We all just wanted to have some fun. So we are playing with her feelings.” Alina asked, crossing her arms.

“Of course yes. Alex is marrying that girl and you are okay with that?” Edward blamed Alina and he can’t understand why she is supporting this idiotic drama.

Alina sighed a breath. She smiled at the worried face of Edward. He looked too cute whenever he did things against her and whined about the same.

“Relax. I know you care about Clara. But trust me. She is not like normal girls. She is too sensitive and stubborn. If she makes any decision being emotional, it is very hard to change her mind. She needs some pressure so that she can think from the other side.” Alina tries to explain to Edward but he is not at all convinced. Alina expects some miracle today as she knew Clara can be stubborn but she can’t just turn away when someone is stealing her rights infront of her.

“I won’t attend this function. I won’t talk with Alex too” Edward turned away angrily.

“I am giving you five minutes. If you are not ready, your friends might have to plan such dramas to unite us” Alina came to her mode as she snapped at those in the peak of anger. Edward gulped with her words. He would never wish their life to take such a turn where someone is necessary to unite them.

“I am being a little liberal towards you nowadays. But it doesn’t mean that I will be soft whenever you are grumpy” Alina added as she gave him the purple suit as he got them like an obedient kid. He changed himself instantly and sat there with the same pout.

“I didn’t know that purple would be this se*y on you” Alina wanted to cheer him up for sure. Edward’s eyes glittered with her compliment as he ran to her side instantly.

“Shall we cancel this function and enjoy it here? I mean, I don’t look se*y often right? Let’s celebrate today” he spoke as Alina burst into laughter. His words always have the magic to melt down her anger into puddles.

“Are you going to drive, or should I drive?” Alina asked at the end of the argument and Edward sat over the driving seat with a long face. He just can’t see Clara crying. Why can’t she understand that?

But who else can understand Edward better than Alina? She wants him to witness the happy scene which will be happening today. And she is damn sure of that.

Clara stood there upstairs as she couldn’t control her sobs listening to his words. What does he want? Why should he do this?

“I know it’s a sudden decision. But I know that if engagement is done, what is needed to wait for another auspicious day for marriage?” Alex asked but his stares didn’t leave Clara who was trying hard to hide her tears from him.

“So marriage will happen right after our engagement. Do attend our function and give your blessings” Alex announced as the guests seemed to have some gossip already for them. Clara attending their marriage is already their main topic for gossip and now this great announcement adds some icing on the cake.

“She is beautiful” Alex’s friends complimented Anna.

“Of course,” Alex replied as his gaze followed Clara alone.

“So about Clara?” Vicky asked who has a difficult time digesting the fact that they are not together.

“Even now, if she comes and hugs me, I will stop the marriage” Alex’s words are loud enough for Clara to turn to his side wide-eyed.

“But this option too has a limited time” Alex whispered near Clara as she stiffened her position.

“Go to hell” The sound echoed all around and that’s how Edward and Alina always make an entry. Alina snaps as Edward comes behind, lowering his head.

“What happened?” Alex ran to welcome them with a broad smile plastered over his lips. Every action of his made Clara pisses off to a larger extent.

“This man is not feeling good. I have been convincing him since morning and see how grumpy he is looking?” Alina yelled as the audience turned to her side.

Is it her tradition to grab the attention of all functions? Clara’s lips curved up remembering how cute they were fighting on her engagement. She recalled how Alex made her feel special by telling her that he would be the first one to always console her if she gets happy. She remembered their cute moment during their engagement.

“Are you thinking about me?” Alex asked, catching her smile.

“I guess your fiancee is Anna, standing there alone. It would be nice if you pay attention to that.” Clara snapped at him calmly. Alex didn’t expect her to say this at all. He thought she would be sad enough to even open her mouth.

“If you think that I might run to you at any moment, please change your mind. I am not going to do that. I am not going to tell you my side of the reasons either. No one would understand it though.” Clara left the place abruptly, startling Alex.

“I told you. This drama is going to bring more miseries” Edward commented once Clara left the place. Alina just glared at him to stop his talk.

Precap:

The priest started changing everything as Alex was seen standing to take rounds.

“We are invited for the engagement and what is happening here?” a guest who came late asked with a confused stare.

“He is marrying.” Another one explained the half-day event in a single word.

“idiot, don’t take rounds. You will become an extra person in Alina’s life” Edward spoke as Alex smirked at his friend who was inside the veil talking rounds with him.

“shut up and marry me. It seems Clara won’t stop this marriage. But at the same time, I can’t make that devil either, “ Alex whispered, which looked like a romantic pose for the audience.

“Tie the auspicious chain around the girl’s neck.” The priest announced the last ritual as Edward ate the flower from nearby with tears. He can’t marry Alex. Isn’t it? Will anyone save him from Alina after this? Of course not.

“stop the marriage” Clara came running like a film heroine who came late at the climax scene to change the entire script with her tears.
