Enchanted Love

“Shall we have a big banner here?” Edward is super excited to have a baby shower function for his wife to welcome their baby. It’s the ninth month and he is too excited.

“Just have a pink banner here and a blue banner there” Alex arranged everything for Alina. Edward is indeed his brother cum buddy but Alina and he have been sharing a special relationship since then. They want to have a thrilling experience so they denied to know the gender.

“She had arranged for a photo shoot. If you get late by even a second, I can not guarantee your life” Alex reminded him as Edward widened his eyes in shock. He totally forgot about it. He ran to the backside where everything was set perfectly.

The function starts smoothly as Edward’s parents blessed the couple and Edward’s mom started the ritual.

“Don’t you dare talk to me” everyone was startled with the noise from the entrance?

“What happened, Clara?” Edward ran to her side with concern.

“I don’t want to talk to this guy!” Clara pointed at Alex who was standing there with so much innocence.

“Did you copy my style to attract the audience to our function?” Edward was surprised by her sudden anger for Alex. The last three months were like heaven for both as they always pamper each other but what happened suddenly?

“he is so annoying. Last three months I were just been so considerate and bared his nonsense but it’s getting overboard now.” Clara sat there with a large pout.

“I am just taking care of her!” Alex defended his actions.

“Every five minutes he is compelling me to have juice or something else. Even if I am happy, he always worries when I have a mood swing. I am not even allowed to walk till the bathroom. He always carries me. I have no liberty to even stretch my body. If I stretch my arms, he starts massaging it. And don’t even ask about limitless romance which he has no control over” Clara threw her hands up in frustration as she yelled everything in the silent room. Everyone looked shocked at her accusations.

“Edward, is there anything wrong I did here?” Alex is pissed off now. How can she blame him for these things?

Edward slowly turned towards Alina who had turned into a tiger in distress. These people surely planned to ruin his function today.

“How can you do this to a girl who is carrying?” Edward asked, gaping at Alex.

“Feeding her limitless food when she can’t eat is something I can never imagine doing” Edward knew to turn the tables to his side smartly.

“And are you scared of her moodswing that you are checking her now and then?” Edward asked further

“Clara, you should stay here from now on. I will take care of you just like how I took care of Alina. You will stay here till you deliver a healthy baby” Edward announced his verdict as Alex widened his eyes. This is not on the list. The most shocking thing is Clara didn’t deny the offer.

“I am sure that you are bored with Alina, right?” Alex whispered near Edward, indirectly blackmailing him.

“Just let the function finish. I will help you for sure” Edward pleads through his eyes and Alex controls his temper.

“Jaan, just say a word if you feel uncomfortable, I will lift you” Clara rolled her eyes at his words as she turned away, feeling suffocated by his caring.

“Just say a word, I will get him away from you” Edward spoke with a wink as finally Clara smiled at his words.

“Doll, am I looking good?” Alina asked as Clara joined her on the stage.

“As usual, stunning.” Clara kissed her cheeks and the photographer didn’t let that moment go before clicking it.

“Does he really irritate you?” Alina asked as the ladies were blessing her one by one and the priest chanted some slogans to bless her unborn kid.

“Not like that. I mean. It’s cute only” Clara blushed as she looked at Alex who still was upset with the happenings.

“But he should just take it easy right?” Clara asked with her doe eyes.

“He never leaves me even for a second. He made our room as his office and sits near me full day and night. He pampers me all time and the highlight is he is enjoying it all” Clara lowered her eyes as if she was a newlywed who was talking about her husband.

“And this Edward is as dumb as always.” Alina replied but with a smile.

“He is just worried about me all the time. And it irritates me like hell” Clara yelled again, scaring an old lady who came to bless Alina.

“Sorry, grandma.” Clara apologises instantly with her small smile.

“You should enjoy them,” Alina replied.

“But he would be tired of these” Clara spoke with a pout.

The function ends smoothly not before Edward’s cute present to Alina which stole her heart instantly. A huge photo frame to fill their hall with a picture of her during every month. Alina was not even aware of his unique idea when she posed for the picture.

“How is aunty and uncle?” Edward asked when they all settled down to have a chat.

“don’t even take their name” Alex snapped angrily as Clara controlled her giggle.

“They went for honeymoon” Alex replied as Edward coughed out the water he was drinking before.

“They don’t even call me. And when I call them to ask about their well being, they don’t talk for more than five minutes. Dad directly asked me to not contact them as they are enjoying a lot alone with no responsibilities. I highly doubt now that maybe I am not their own kid but an adopted one” Alex pouted as Alina started laughing like hell. They are indeed cute.

“And mom, she always talks with Clara about her health and always keeps a tab on her routine. She appointed a nurse to take care of her. But no one is caring for me” Alex threw his hand up in frustration.

“Shall we play something?” Alina suggested as all sat in a round.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

All stretches their hand forward as suggested by Alina, showing their five fingers

“We all will say a thing. And if it’s true for you, you should fold a finger. So whoever folds all fingers first gets out from the game.” Alina explains the simple game as if she got something exciting to play.

“Fine. First my turn.” Edward mentally targeted Alex to make him lose. So he needs to tell. something about Alex so that he folds his finger.

“I married the person I love” Edward spoke as he looked at Alex who was not at all folding his finger. Clara folds her finger without delay.

“No cheating in this game” Edward glared at him with a pout. Clara accusingly looked at Alex.

“It may be true in your view for me. But I love the girl I married. Before marriage, I knew that she is mine. But love her deeply madly and honestly after marriage” Alex always amazes everyone with his charmful replies and it always brings a pink shade of cheeks to Clara.

“Now it’s my turn.” Alina always wanted Edward to lose in anything.

“Fold your finger if you think your partner is fat” Edward rolled his eyes at her effort to have a new fight. He looked around as if he had no clue who would think like that. Alina smiled at his gesture.

“fold it if you think your partner is slim and fit” Clara made her turn and folded her finger with a smile expecting Alex to fold it but he looked with a blank expression.

Edward folds his finger with a wink as Alina gave a flying kiss to his side. He has improved a lot these days.

“Am I not slim? If I am not fat, and slim what I am?” Clara asked in her dangerous tone.

“I don’t know if you are fat or not. But for me, you are the most beautiful girl. Why should I fold my finger for these words which have no connection for you?” Alex asked and once again he scored in the girl’s heart as Edward gulped visibly. This day should be his special day but Alex is scoring a lot and he could see the fire in Alina’s eyes already.

“Fold your finger if you haven’t folded before” Edward spoke all annoyed and everyone rolled their eyes at his try

“Fold your finger if you are jealous of my replies?” Alex spoke and Edward folds it immediately with a pout and all burst into laughter.

“Now we have a loser here,” Alex exclaimed as Edward pouted. He stood up to prepare a coffee for them as a punishment. That was indeed a fun game with all after along time.

“Guys, we should leave. Clara have to take medicines, orange juice and pomegranate juice before 10.” Alex commented checking his schedule amazing everyone with his actions. He may be perfect for one week or maybe for one month. But by acting like this for this long, they can see how much he is worried for Clara.

Alex didn’t wait for their answer as he lifted Clara in one go who is not at all surprised by his actions. She knew damn sure that he won’t let her wall after this long tiring day.

“You are not alone here taking care like this. Even I have done this many times” Edward lifts Alina, who was smiling at him.
