Enchanted Love

“I am going to Apple restaurant for just half an hour.” Alex got extremely angry with her behavior. Of course, she informed him that her doctor is in the city who treated her during her miscarriage. But didn’t he restrict her to travel anywhere alone? He grabbed his keys with the same anger and panic. She should be safe.

“Where is she?” Frank asked when Alex came running downstairs.

“she messaged me that she is going nearby. So I will bring her now.” Alex answered curtly as he walked fastly.

“What was that important?” Frank too was annoyed with her.

“She went to meet the doctor who treated her back then,” Alex paused and looked at Jenny. Should he tell the reason or not?

“When she had a miscarriage?” Jenny asked gasping as Frank too widened his eyes.

“Alex. Don’t let her meet. Don’t… I mean… Go and get her before she meets her. No, let me call that doctor…” Frank took the mobile and Alex stood there completely taken aback by the sudden expressions of Jenny and Frank.

“Jenny, don’t worry. Please. You just stay relaxed. Nothing will happen” Frank was consoling Jenny who was holding back her tears.

“I am completely fine. Don’t worry about me. I will handle it myself. But please don’t let her meet the doctor” Jenny begged Frank as Alex blankly stood there completely feeling out of the scene. Did something happen? The knots in his heart were exactly the same as he felt on the day he party ways with Clara. He can’t have the same thing again in his life.

“Roshni” Frank called someone over the call.

“Where are you now?” Frank asked in a calm tone.

“She is out of the city” Frank exclaimed as his mind blocked all possible happenings.

“It means, Clara didn’t go to meet Roshni. She might have called someone else from the hospital” Jenny spoke still in her shaky voice. Alex couldn’t understand even a bit of their talks as his head starts spinning around.

“is there anything I should know about?” Alex asked quickly without any gap.

“it’s not the right time to discuss that. Just go and get Clara back safely.” Jenny spoke in a calm and composed voice which scared the shit out of him.

He didn’t wait there for another second as he ran to get her first before anything happens.

Entering the restaurant, he saw a lady and he knew that instant that she was a doctor.

“Did you meet Clara?” Alex stormed to her side as he asked those shouting at her.

“Who is Clara” The lady seemed annoyed. Alex turned to notice anyone else but found no one. A girl in her early twenties came to his side. Seeing her crop top and patchy jeans, no one would think her of as a doctor.

“I am sorry. I didn’t know that she is unaware of her reports. You are her husband right?” The girl spoke as Alex turned to her side wide-eyed. That mean, he is late.

“What exactly you told her?” Alex was very harsh this time, making the girl flinch with his tone. She got scared with the aura alone as she looked around for help.

“I am sorry. I am sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. But please” Alex wiped the tears from his eyes as he begged the girl who was totally shocked with his split personality.

“Tell me what exactly you told her?” Alex calmed down a bit as he grabbed her hand for support.

*****

Flashback the day Jenny got heart attack.

“Frank, for God’s sake don’t call me. We are not newly married couple. You have called for 1000 times since you went there for business.” Jenny was damn irritated with his constant flirts and annoying dialogues.

“You have changed a lot. You are giving the vibe of an old couple” Frank replied with a huge pout.

“I am not giving any vibe but it is the reality. We arrived at the age to have grandkids and you are shamelessly flirting with me in front of your colleagues.” Jenny scolded him. Frank didn’t reply for about ten minutes and she melted down instantly with his silence.

“Fine. I love you” Jenny spoke as Frank literally jumped in joy as his partners laughed at his actions, making Jenny embarrassed more.

“Jaan, We are six and no one succeeded get I love you from their wives. Thanks jaan. I have achieved something unbelievable today” Frank spoke in a proud tone and Jenny just wanna smash his head for sure.

“Frank, I won’t talk to you.” Jenny snapped at him angrily.

“jaan, you can never stay like that” Frank was correct this time. Jenny can’t hold her anger for long.

“But trust me, this time I won’t talk to you and you will be begging me every day” with that Jenny cut the call angrily and she didn’t ignore the laughter of his partner who were quite enjoying the little love scene of Frank and Jenny.

Jenny got the call again and she yelled at him and hung up. When the third time, her mobile ringed up, she took it with a deep breath.

“Frank, I will rip you alive when you come back” she spoke in a composed tone as the person over the phone laughed like hell.

“Frank surely knows to annoy you even now” Jenny widened her eyes realizing the voice. She checked the id and smiled broadly.

“Roshni” Jenny beamed happily hearing from her friend after a long time. She was abroad for two years and couldn’t get in touch.

“We shall ask about our well being later. Today I called to ask about something important.” Roshni spoke curtly as Jenny sipped her coffee casually.

“Your daughter-in-law, Clara is admitted here.” Roshni broke the news as Jenny gasped suddenly.

“Jenny, are you there?” Roshni asked panicked when she didn’t hear anything from her.

“Is she fine?” Jenny asked after a long gap.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“She is fine. Dear, it was a bad news. She had a miscarriage” Jenny felt her legs go numb with the news as she grabbed the chair nearby for support.

“she got discharged already. I didn’t tell her about the cause. I mean. It was because of the stress she had. But there was something else too” Roshni was worried if she should tell this or not. But seeing Clara’s condition, she chose to not disclose it even though its not so professional of her. Maybe disclosing it to Jenny might be the best.

“She had consumed some unusual tablets. I didn’t ask her about details as it might have been a trauma for her.” The moment Roshni told the cause, Jenny felt the floor slipping away from her foot.

“Rosh, thanks for being considerate. And please don’t tell this to anyone.” Jenny composed herself pretty quickly and hang up the call.

She heard some commotion from downstairs but right now she doesn’t have the energy to go through another drama. She went inside the washroom and opened the shower as she sat there completely devastated. How can the same thing happen to their family?

Flashback ends.

Alex stood there with no emotions.

“your mom is not that weak to have a breakdown just because Clara had a miscarriage” Frank spoke in that silent room.

“Back then, I too had the similar situation. I was not able to bear the pain that I killed my baby. I was the reason” Jenny replied with a small chuckle full of pain. No wonder how the strong woman Jenny went to a coma state with just one situation.

“I didn’t want Clara to have the same break down period which I went through.” Jenny spoke in a sad tone as she couldn’t save her from this pain.

“I was brave enough to fight everything and overcome such pain because I had you then. But she can’t overcome.” Alex felt the flow of his blood stop with Jenny’s words.

“She is nowhere. She is not picking her phone.” Alex replied and hugged his mom tightly.

“Call Alina and ask” Jenny is always very sharp to suggest solutions at difficult times when no one could think of them. Alex felt too stupid to waste time in mourning whereas Alina would surely know about her
