Enchanted Love

Life is really short. We can’t hold our anger so long to waste such a precious life. Clara sat there with her husband whose health is not well. She knew at that moment that wherever she could run, her destiny would be him only. Her love and care for him can never reduce even a percent.

What was his fault of him in this entire situation? His anger. But didn’t she know that previously? Didn’t he ask her only to adjust to this? Every person has a weakness and Alex was very clear in his weakness. Even he tried his best not to get angry with her in every matter. She knew how he tried. She could even count those days when he got angry and even then, he made sure to make her feel priceless with his efforts of apologising with a promise that he would control his anger.

That day, he crossed all his limits and of course, it was because of his mom. Can it not be forgiven?

“Won’t you forgive me ever?” Alex asked, releasing a single thing from her attitude that she would never change her decision. He can just live his life with this flirting. But her reaction scares him to hell.

“About forgiving, I forgave you long ago. The moment I saw you in pain without me. The moment I saw the longness of your mother. I forgave you.” Clara replied plainly, helping him to lay down on the bed, ignoring his effort of hugging her in that state too.

“The problem is me.” Her words made his grip loosen.

“Can you leave me once I tell you what I feel for real?” She asked with hope in her eyes. She looked so tired and fragile that he wanted to hug her.

“I don’t know if I can leave you again in this lifetime” Alex replied as he took her palm to snuggle into them.

“Maybe if you tell me those before this trip, I would have left you alone. But after I witnessed what you went through without me, I won’t leave you again in pain. If it’s against your will also, I am ready to fight for it.” Alex kissed her palm as she took back her hands instantly as if it burned her. His eyes showed how much he is hurt with her actions.

“It would be good if you accept the truth and move on” Clara told as if she is so firm in her words. It pricked his heart but at the same time, he is confused as hell as to why she is doing these. She forgave him but what is stopping her from coming back to him?

Forty-eight hours is all needed for Alex to get his health back to trouble Clara more.

“Ani, I will kill him,” Clara yelled as she ran to grab Alex’s hair.

“Buddy, save me.” Alex hides behind Edward.

“What happened?” Alina asked as she controlled Clara.

“He is constantly troubling me and blackmailing me that he won’t take the tablets” Clara yelled at her high pitch that everyone came to their room

“I just asked her to feed me the tablets.” Alex pouted cutely as Charlotte laughed at his cuteness. He is just like a prince charming in fairy tales.

“Because it is sour. If she feeds me, I will feel like having them” he added as Edward sighed as if he was a gone case. How can he romance when she is in her devil form?

“If it is sour, give them to her also” Edward suggested out of the blue as everyone turned to his side to hear the explanation for his wishful idea.

“Just like the same way, she gave you her strawberry ice cream.” He winked at Alex as he controlled his smile while Clara glared at Edward.

“Ani, if you don’t take your husband back, I can’t guarantee you your happy married life” Clara harassed the stick she had in her hand. Edward gulped visibly.

“Guys, let’s leave. They always fight like this and blame us when they patch up” Alina tried to get all the elders out of the room.

“Honey, ah” he opened his mouth again as Clara sighed tiredly. It’s two long days and he is troubling her like hell. If he didnt take these tablets, his fever will again visit his body for sure.

“Okay, fine” Clara came and took the tablets to feed him. Alex failed to notice the smirk on her lips. Once she dropped the tablets inside his mouth, she took the water bottle and smirked more as Alex widened his eyes.

“Honey, give me water!” Alex asked in his calm tone but Clara had other plans today.

“You asked me to feed the tablet only. For water, you have to go to the kitchen and have it by yourself” Clara didn’t regret even a percent saying those. The bitter tablet melted in his mouth as Alex couldn’t bear the taste.

“I won’t spit the tablet but I am sure I will follow Edward’s advice. If you don’t want that, give me water” Alex’s words made her shocked. She didn’t think that he would threaten her like this.

“Dare you to do that” Clara couldn’t complete her words but Alex already grabbed her by her waist.

“Wanna taste the tablet with me?” He asked as he bends near her and she closed her eyes in reflex. She was holding the water battle too. But he didnt snatch it as he wanted to end the game as per his way.

“Alex, I will kill you if you try to” Her words died as his breath touched her lips already.

“You look too cute when you get angry” he replied as he snatched the bottle and finished the water.

“Next time, before doing any prank, just remember who you are playing with!” He commented as tapped her nose.

Clara stomped her foot and left the room.

“What was that?” Alina asked when she saw everything already.

“Nothing” Clara sat beside her with a long face.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Doll, why are you doing this? Just end everything and hug him tightly.” Alina spoke after a long pause. Clara looked at Alina keenly with a blank expression

“Dad, you okay alright?” Alex sat beside him. He did notice how Frank went pale in two days.

“I was just scared. I can’t really bear the pain of losing you also” Frank’s statement was unexpected. Frank was always composed of his emotions and never let anyone know how he felt at any point in his life.

“Dad, I am fine. This worried face doesn’t suit you. You look hot only with your charming smile” Alex hugged him as Frank smiled at his words.

“Dad, did you notice one thing?” Alex asked, sitting beside him.

“Clara told us everything that happened that day. I couldn’t find out why mom had to take a bath for such a long time. She didn’t even come down when Mira’s mom was fighting with Clara” Alex asked the important thing which was nagging his mind since the day Clara told him everything.

“Your mom will do anything at any time. We can’t trust her” Frank snapped quickly as he turned his wheelchair to leave the place. He stopped talking about Jenny the day she went into a coma state as if he was hell angry with her. Alex sighed tiredly to see how stubborn his father could be.

“At least give me her mobile phone which you always carry with you” Alex smiled as Frank threw the mobile phone angrily as Alex found out this little secret.

Alex took the mobile and surfed through the pictures. It was indeed a happy memory. He smiled through his tears recalling every damn thing with her.

“She was not this emotional even when her mother passed away right?” Alex asked as his voice choked in between.

“Why did she choose this way?” He asked again as he just couldn’t control himself.

“Alex, can we check the call history? I mean it’s almost one year since the mobile is not in use.” Frank suddenly asked as something clicked on his mind.

“That day, I was waiting for him in front of the hospital hoping that he would come out realising that I am gone,” Clara spoke, gulping the lumps of her throat.

“More than the anger, I was worried what if he blames me for his mom’s state? ” Clara added.

“But he never came out. And I had to go back to my home.” Clara spoke.

“Now everything has come to normal. He is feeling sorry and trusts me that my heart too melted with his apologies. I am not a stone-hearted person to be this rude even though he takes steps to come back to me.” Clara turned to Alina.

“But it is me now. I am the reason. And I can’t get back to him.” Clara hugged Alina as she cried wholeheartedly.
