Enchanted Love

Lincoln and his friends made their way to the backside of the home where the party is arranged. They are instantly impressed with the entrance itself. How can anyone arrange such an amazing and lavish party in this village?NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

One by one everyone entered the place and the common thing they had is wow what an arrangement. Nathan sighed proudly seeing their stares themselves. Charlotte thanked God as everything is moving so smoothly. Caroline wished for an earthquake so that this engagement and wedding break. Because except for that, nothing could be done. She is scared to even imagine her future with Lincoln. He is too dangerous.

“Dad, are you fine? If you are not comfortable, you can rest in your room” Clara is worried about him genuinely. She could sense his irritation as he went silent all of a sudden and had never interacted with anyone. How can Frank be like this? Did she pressure him too much?

“So that you can escape from performing?” Frank asked, glaring at both as if they had done some sin.

“Revenge is revenge. And I want to see how you both are performing together.” He replied as Clara chuckled instantly with his kiddish talk.

“Dad, I don’t know if you are expecting something from this new drama here. But please, don’t get hurt” Alex announced as he couldn’t see him broken again.

“If you come to know about her, you will be hurt more than me,” Alex mumbled with so much pain in his voice. Clara glared at him as her anger level increased tenfold now.

“Guess someone is going to fast for a full week for me” Clara replied through her gritted teeth.

“Alex, stop commenting about her and mocking her. I don’t know what else she will make you do.” Edward warned him as he grabbed her away to avoid a world war.

“Trust me Edward, I won’t even spare you for taking his side” Clara screamed as both the men went away. Frank started laughing at them.

“Here is your DJ” they turned to see Alina’s grandmother in a modern dress. Clara and Alina gaped at her.

“Don’t think that I would play some old songs. I have my latest song list.” Grandma rocked and everyone was shocked.

“How about we play something?” Grandma asked again, seeing everyone there. She wanted to have so much fun at this marriage function like a teenager.

“Maybe a couple games?” There comes Frank again. Now Clara and Alex regret bringing him. He should have been in the home lying down in depression. Why should they care? Wicked old man. Frank shrugged off his shoulders ignoring their blaming stares.

“Why don’t we discuss and get a new game for our couples?” Grandmom grabbed Frank in the corner to plan the game.

Alex and Clara stood there as the fourth contestant for the game without any interest.

“What is this game about?” Everyone is curious as she told them already that it would be different and unique just like her.

“Normally the game would be to test compatibility. But here, Nancy’s style is not that” Grandma spoke proudly as everyone wondered who is Nancy

“Idiots. It’s me, Nancy” Grandma added as all clapped for her to proceed.

“Okay, it’s not a love couple but the winner would be the number one Fighting couple.” The moment she said everyone frowned in confusion. Now Alex and Clara are sure that it is just Frank’s idea to make them winners. But will it be okay? Alina and Edward get a negative vibe already.

“The rules are simple. Everyone will be on the stage and we will give you five minutes. You have to fight or say something intense to make another person cry.” Nancy is in full mode to try something new.

“But it won’t be enjoyable.” Someone commented.

“Guys let’s just try this game and it’s just for five minutes” Alina came to fulfill her granny’s wish as usual. She doesn’t want to upset her or to make her feel left out from this party. To her surprise, everyone agreed with Nancy. They did like the old lady who is very cheerful and fun to hang out with.

“Guess, if we didn’t win this, it would be a shame to us” Alex commented as Clara couldn’t agree to it anymore.

“All the best” Frank wished them as he left the stage. He has something in his sleeves but what?

“Time starts now” Nancy exclaimed.

“We fight every day. What will we fight for now?” Edward asked, having no idea of what they should talk about.

“Oh. You mean to tell me that I fight with you always for nothing? Seriously?” not for the game but Alina came to her mode to fight with Edward. And other couples also started trying but more than anything they started laughing and the hall filled with so much laughter.

“When did you fall in love with me?” one of the girls asked her partner.

“After my breakup!” he replied, expecting her to come to game mode but she glared at him with wide eyes as if she believed his words. Before he could tell her that it was for the game, she slapped him hard on his cheeks as everyone started laughing more at the poor state of the guy.

“Let me ask only one question,” Alex asked, starting a conversation. He doesn’t mind about the game or anything. All he wanted was to ask Clara about something so genuinely. She nods positively.

“Do you regret meeting me?” Everyone around them gasped and looked at them as to why he had asked like that? Even the contestant were stopped their game as they watched Alex and Clara.

Clara looked into his eyes and for a moment, she gets to remember everything. Every damn thing. The best part is she has no idea of how happy she was with him as all she could see were those painful incidents.

“Yes” the moment she said those, her eyes welled up and it brought tears to his eyes too. That’s it, Nathan and Charlotte stood up in shock. It’s not acting. It’s not a game. They are speaking for real. Are they not happy with each other? Alina closed her mouth with her palm. Edward threw his hands up in frustration.

Frank noticed them and sighed tiredly. When will they grow up?

“We have a winner” Nancy announced happily as all again shifted back to game mode. Clara and Alex looked around as Alina slapped her forehead in dismay. What will happen now?

“The best couple is my favourite. Not favourite. My second favourite is Alex and Clara. Because Edward and Alina will be my first favourite.” Nancy announced as she gave a gift parcel which is quite big in size. Now everyone regrets taking this game lightly.

“Everyone would be confused as if they are playing or is it real fight? right?” Nancy asked as everyone agreed to it and wondered. Now Frank smirked as he knew what Nancy is going to tell. In short, what he narrated about it.

“Even I have the same doubt. But in both cases, they are the winner for me. They are the best couple” now Nancy’s words confused them even more. They all asked how. Frank looks at his kids and wishes that this explanation that Nancy is going to give them, makes them wonder and they start thinking about the other way. Frank is always known for his sensible nature.

“If they did it for the game, they couldn’t even fight for the game as they cried.” Nancy admired them.

“If it’s real?” All asked in chorus. Charlotte and Nathan get too curious to know what it is?

“He cried as her words hit him hard. She cried as she doesn’t mean those.” Nancy replied studying their expressions. Alex and Clara widened their eyes at her observation. This lady is not old with just age but with experience. Frank saw how their expressions changed and smiled inwardly. They always think about themselves but never thought about the other person’s pain. But now they will wonder.

“Did my words hurt him?” She glared at him.

“Did she feel the pain to utter those?” Alex halted his thoughts as he saw her.

Will this little step from Frank would make any wonder?
