Enchanted Love

“Brother, at least have some food. You are starving” Charlotte  gets concerned but Frank just hummed in response as he sat there facing the window. He knew that Alex and Clara is safe and they are arriving here anytime. But that doesn’t do anything good as he lost his appetite. Even though he forces a morsel, his nausea makes it worse for him to swallow it. Did he know that he would be this sensitive?

“They just have gone sightseeing in the village, right?” Nathan asked not able to understand their concern and fear of Frank. Frank on the other hand was aware of the situation and chose not to share those with Charlotte  and Nathan as they would break down. Maybe once the kids are here, they will open the news.

“I am sorry to bother you all. I am fine and don’t worry about me. Children will be here anytime.” Frank replied with a small smile to show them that he is not that weak to fall sick after just one day of starving.

“At least have this orange juice than” Charlotte  is stubborn just like Frank. Frank smiled seeing her care. She is just like Shreya, his sister. He took the juice and gulped it with difficulty. He can’t vomit this and made them clean. It would be damn embarrassing. Fortunately, he felt good. Maybe an empty stomach only makes him feel nauseated.

“Where are you all?” Everyone was startled by the sound and went to the hall to see the most devastating state of Lincoln. Frank knew that he was the one to kidnap the people. But he kept quiet as he can’t create a scene before the kids come. Nathan and Charlotte  are unaware of everything.

“What happened, dear?” Lincoln’s mom ran to his side. They were about to leave the city after having lunch but now seeing Lincoln, she knew that she had something to sort out first.

“Did you even have a proper check on the girl?” Lincoln asked, gritting his teeth as Charlotte  gasped loudly.

“She ran away from the home” Lincoln snapped with no regret in choosing such words.

“You are mistaken, son. Alina and her husband went with her just for a ride. They are coming back now.” Charlotte  replied instantly, defending her daughter.

“Don’t you know that joker doctor is also with them?” Lincoln asked, raising his eyebrows.

“He is Clara’s colleague and Caroline can never think of such a thing. Please don’t get mad. We shall ask her once she is here” Charlotte  tried to calm them down.

“If my son says such a thing, there would be definitely something wrong. He doesn’t make judgements quickly” Lincoln’s mom supports him with a glare and Charlotte  couldn’t control her tears. If marriage is called off after engagement, there can be nothing worse than this one.

“Stop the car” Clara screamed as Jason stopped the car immediately.

“What happened, honey?” Alex asked keeping the most innocent face ever. Clara glared at him as if she would eat him alive.

“If this man sits here, I am getting out of the car right now” Clara snapped harshly. Everyone is hell confused as to what would be wrong. He is in the opposite seat whereas Clara is in another seat.

“Did I do anything to you, honey?” He asked with full concern.

“I am damn sure you would have done something to annoy her.” Edward teamed up instantly.

“Can you stop calling me with names? I am Clara. You better call me that” Clara grits her teeth. She just can’t understand why he is hell bend on provoking her to hurt him.

“Clara is common. Everyone calls you by that name. But I am not everyone. Isn’t it?” Alex asked glaring at her eyes where she couldn’t take her eyes off from his. Damn his eyes.

“Okay, I have a solution,” Edward commented before Clara can come up with some other harsh words.

“She doesn’t like you calling her by another name. And you don’t like to call her the same way everyone calls. So you will call her Clara and we all would call her, Honey” Edward pulled his imaginary collar as all gaped at him.

“Honey, can you sit down?” Edward asked and now Alina took scissors which were beneath the seat.

“You all can play here. I will ask lift from anyone and get back home safely.” Clara got down and started walking fast. She is done with these mad people. Their banters are cute for sure but it can annoy one to the extent when they are angry.

“See, when I was calling her Honey, she just made a scene to let you all know how I am calling her sweetly. But when you called her Honey, she just can’t sit there with you all” Alex commented as he started walking beside her.

“Your honey is different. Mine was my beloved sister honey” Edward commented as he pouts.

“How can you both come here when your darling, Mira would be demanding chocolates there” Clara snapped as she tiptoed to see Mira.

“Honey, are you jealous?” Alex asked as Clara grits her teeth.

“Ani, will you fight with me later? Please save me now. We shall keep this fight after some days. Please” Clara called Alina for help.

“You can do everything alone. Why are you calling me?” Alina is not going to give in this time? Clara sighed tiredly as Alex started his dialogues again.

“Guys, if you want to walk to the village?” Jason asked losing his patience. Their madness is reaching to stars.

“Please, come and sit. I promise I won’t disturb you, honey” Alex grabbed her hand.

Clara just came and sat there with a long face. Alina’s anger is not helping though. She didn’t want to look at Alex either. He is in full charge to flirt with her or throw intense dialogues which started affecting her like hell. Because he doesn’t speak empty words for sure. Whatever he tells, is always from his heart and she started to feel like a stubborn girl.

“Let’s play something on the way” Alina suggested and all the while Mira just present there physically. She has her head over the window as her thoughts wandered many places, mainly where she started to fall apart. Alex smiled as at last, she started to think and now she will take good decisions. Surely it will have a greater impact on his relationship with Clara.

“Okay, let’s play who I am?” Alex spoke as if he knew what he will choose and how he will present it.

“With a small twist. I mean. We can know instantly who we are at getting right? So the first person can say one quality. Then the chain goes till the last person so that everyone can get a chance to mimic about the targetted person. Got it?” Alina asked excitedly and now even Jason and Caroline get too excited to play.

“I am a perfect guy with all super dreamy boy qualities. But sometimes I lack brain” Alex voiced out as Edward gritted his teeth. That’s not him.

“I love my wife but not more than my friend,” Alina told with a glare but Edward knew that it was for a fact. No one can take Alex’s place in his life.

“Such a soft-hearted person to stand with someone who is against his friend” Clara spoke with a grateful smile. Of course, he never questioned Clara as to why did she leave Alex. Instead, he always supports Clara against Alex and he never did that before.

“My mentor” Mira for the first time in the whole drive spoke with a smile.

“Jealous husband” Jason spoke instantly and everyone burst into laughter to agree on that point.

“Saviour” Caroline also commented with gratitude. There was not just a single thing for her to say. Edward has always been protective of everyone related to Alina. That’s how he shows respect to Alina.

“No one said handsome” Edward finally spoke and turned away all annoyed. Yeah, that’s pretty bad.

“But nice. Everyone has only positive points about you. That is something rare to gain. Next, you can start” Alex voiced out and Edward smiled in acknowledgement.

“I am super cool and charming and always attract girls from all age groups” Edward spoke as Alex smiled.

“But I guess it applies to Alex and Jason” Alina spoke and now Edward glared at his wife to find Jason super cool. That’s absurd.

“I am married” Edward replied again and Alina smiled at his annoyed tone.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay, another rule. If anyone doesn’t want to say about the person, they can keep quiet” Alina wanted not to pressure Clara.

“There is no such rule” Edward pouted. He wanted to help his buddy at any cost. This little game will surely bring a little spark between them.

“It’s Alina’s rule” Alina spoke putting a full stop to the sentence. Now no one has a say in it.

Now everyone turned to see Clara who showed no expressions at all. She doesn’t want to break the game but also she doesn’t want to talk about him.
