Enchanted Love

“Thanks, Jason for your help” Alex imitated Clara as both Edward and Alex burst out laughing. Clara grits her teeth as she glared at Jason for even planning this prank.

“Can we play something to forget this awful prank?” Jason asked as he started his car.

“What about staying quiet and enjoying this music?” Alex didn’t sound rude this time. He badly wanted to lay down with no disturbance and enjoy this melody song. Clara looked at him as they had yet another fresh memory behind this music. Both didn’t hear anyone’s sound as they were busy reminiscing the time they had heard this music with one headphone as both were lying with their head interjected.

Clara felt Alex’s fingers playing in her hair even now when she remembered that day. Alex felt like touching her feathery cheeks to coordinate the rhythm.

The sudden break made them snap out from the dream that they had for just a few seconds. Alex closed his eyes and didn’t want to look at her to show his state while Clara didn’t even dare to lift her eyes. Both knew how much they were affected by this.

“We will be arriving there soon. So points to be remembered. No use of abusive words or curse words even if it’s for fun. Don’t talk back to elders. Always use respectful words. And yeah, don’t look at the elder’s eyes while speaking” Alina explained the simple rules but saw a huge frown on Alex’s and Jason’s faces.

“You didn’t mention those when we left the place,” Alex asked with accusing eyes to his friend who shrugged off his shoulders as if it didn’t matter to him.

“Guys relax. My relatives are too sweet. But yeah they follow rules strictly.” Alina added with a pout

“You should meet Nathan uncle. He is the sweetest person among all.” Alina spoke.

“Yeah, my father,” Caroline added with a shy smile.

“And Charlotte aunty, she always makes sweets whenever she wants to express her love” Alina is very excited to meet all of them after a long time.

“My mom” Caroline added as her shy smile turned to a little sad smile.

“Clara is their favourite. They love Clara as their own daughter” Alina doesn’t get tired of talking about her uncle and aunty.

“Guess I can see the real traditions of the village” Fank, for the first time spoke. He didn’t like to come with them but Alex and Clara literally blackmailed him to come. His mood slightly gets better when Alina mentions their customs. Maybe it will be good to see people following their culture even now.

“Dad, why don’t you just enjoy the trip and forget that you are even in your wheelchair?” Clara asked, breaking her silence with Fank. He just turned away showing his annoyance.

“You have blackmailed me. So I will pay you back soon.” Fank pouted and turned away again. Now Clara giggled at his actions. He looked like a five-year kid.

Jason stopped the car suddenly as everyone bumped their head on the seat.

“Are you alright?” Alex asked Clara instantly while she rubs her head.

“What is this man?” Edward asked, rubbing his forehead.

“There is a board and it says that we have to walk and can’t use any transport” Jason read it as everyone gasped.

“Guys, it’s just a few steps away. Let’s walk and ask our servants to pick up our luggage. Jason, you can park your car in this garage. They will take care of it.” Alina informs all and comes out followed by all. Clara clutched Fank’s chair while Alex too grabbed it from the other end.

“I will handle it” both of them voiced out together.

“How about you both go and fight there? I can have myself!” Fank asked as he turned his direction easily and started moving towards the destination. Clara and Alex sighed tiredly. Did they go overboard to get him here? He didn’t seem to be happy when they brought him here.

“Girls, if you have trouble walking, I can lift you,” Jason spoke as Edward and Alex widened their eyes.

“For me, my Edward baby is here!” Alina exclaimed as she threw her arms around his neck.

“Did they tell you that they have trouble walking?” Edward asked, gritting his teeth.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Won’t you lift me?” Alina asked but he didn’t reply instead, lifted her in one go making her blush.

“Anyone need my help?” Jason asked again to Caroline and of course Clara.

“Why don’t you just close your mouth? It’s the much-needed help here.” Alex doesn’t like this guy at all. Why does he have to flirt with girls all the time? But isn’t that what he did earlier back those days? That’s why he hates Jason. His flirtatious charming nature would attract all girls for sure.

“Guess, he wants my help.” Jason joked as the girls laughed at Alex’s annoying face

“As if you can help me.” Alex couldn’t finish his sentence when Jason lifted him in one go, making everyone gasp at him.

“You are too light, man” Jason’s words made everyone laugh but Alex pushed him instantly and got down with a grumpy face.

“Turn right side” Alina directed them as they all walked towards their home.

Edward made Alina stand and they started walking near the home.

“Damn” Edward screamed when his right leg got dirt with cow dung.

“Wow.” Alex laughed at his friend’s state.

“Caroline, get them inside, I will bring Edward,” Alina asked Caroline as she started walking to their home which looks like a palace in old times. Jason admired every brick of the home which was built with so much care. He gaped at the entrance door which can’t be opened by a single man but needs at least three built men to push it.

“Is this any king’s palace?” He exclaimed

“Even I think so,” Alex added.

“My dad always wanted to build a palace like this. So it’s his dream house” Caroline explained as she walked slowly inside, having Alex and Jason on her either side.

“Wow, I get a feeling of some traditional old film. Maybe we would have a warm welcome here. I don’t want to go from here.” Clara spoke admiring everything around her. But soon a big stick was thrown towards them in such a force that made her jump in fear and it hit Alex’s legs sharply but he dodged it at the right moment and didn’t get hurt.

“I guess not a nice warm welcome.” Clara ended as she saw the lady who had just thrown the stick toward them.

“It’s Alina’s grandma” Clara introduced them to her.

“Did she throw this to hit me?” Alex asked, gasping loudly.

“Maybe by mistake?” Clara replied not so sure of her own words.

“Caroline, why did you run away?” Grandma asked almost like a melodrama old lady.

“Don’t tell me that you love this guy?” Grandma gasped seeing Alex in a not-so-pleasant way.

“Omg, did you marry him already?” Grandma added when she noticed their shocked faces.

“That too without any wedding ring?” She asked, holding her head.

“But who is this joker?” Grandma asked to see Jason.

“Don’t tell me that you came here with two boys?” Grandma held her chest in shock. Clara widened her eyes while the boys couldn’t even come out from the shock. Can this old woman even breathe between her questions?

“I am not a joker, but a doctor” Jason retorted.

“Both will suit him though,” Alex added.

“Doctor? When did the doctor go insane like this?” Did grandma ask, eyeing his torn jeans? It’s a bad day to choose such a dress. Jason has never felt so awkward.

“Omg don’t tell me that you married him and now he got you pregnant too. You came with a doctor to convince your dad” now grandma is out of control. Alina came there and looked at everyone’s terrified faces. She even heard the last guess of her dadi as she widened her eyes.

“Guys sorry to forget about my grandma, who is a little dramatic and you will have fun with her too ” Alina introduced them as Alex and Jason looked at Alina as if she had grown horns.

“Grandma, this is Jason, my friend.  And this is Alex. You remember?” Alina asked and now grandma looked at all with an awkward smile to judge them wrongly.

“That was fun,” Jason said after a long, bullying conversation with grandma.

“I just went to Alina’s home. I didn’t run away with any guy” Caroline replied with a huge frown on her face.

“Thanks for your words at last after so much happened” Jason replied all annoyed with Caroline who bowed in response.

“If you didn’t come on time, your grandma would have even named the unborn kid and might have hanged me also” Alex spoke to Alina who started laughing like hell.

“Alex, Clara’s husband?” Grandma asked with twinkling eyes to which both Alex and Clara couldn’t reply to her.

“That’s sad that Caroline didn’t get her dream boy. But thank God that it’s not this joker. I was even okay with Alex. How handsome?” Grandma replied looking at Alex dreamingly as everyone opened their mouths wider.

“Guys, she is a little dramatic. You won’t believe that she faked her heart attack just to get me married to Edward because she thought he is too handsome to reject.” Alina spoke with an awkward smile.

“I will believe,” Jason replied, gaping at the old lady who seemed not to be impressed by his appearance.
