Enchanted Love

Everything happened in just one day. Alex proposes to Clara in a unique style and she rejects him with a cute attitude as a result her dad slaps her in a terror way.

Clara stood up from the bed astounded. Did she leave her home for real? She regretted her whole decision. Is it too late? She did come to someone’s home leaving her own home. Just because he is Edward’s friend, she can’t trust him over her pops. Isn’t it? Clara slapped herself for such an idiotic decision. What if the whole family is set up? What if he went to bring some goons to kidnap her? She widened her eyes when the filmy scenes were so real.

She pressed her temples realising her biggest mistake. Now what should she do? She peeped outside and found Alex talking with his mom. The way he explained everything about her, made her calm down a little. Maybe she was overreacting. They are good people. For a few seconds, she liked their cute conversation.

“Alex” she called him in her soft voice which melted in the air even before reaching him.

“You can’t believe me Mom as to how I proposed to her?” He was narrating everything to his mom enthusiastically as Clara gasped. Does he have to be this narrative? He can just explain it in a single line.

“Alex” this time she called him a little louder but still he was so engrossed in the story that he didn’t turn to her side but Jenny saw Clara and smiled.

“Dear, don’t get angry. He is just like his dad, tube light. We have to work hard to make them sharp” Jenny came to her side making her embarrassed while Alex came running to their side all worried for Clara.

“Everything is fine?” Alex asked all worried.

“I. I am sorry. I think. I. Need to” stammered Clara not being able to find words to tell exactly what she was thinking.

“Relax.” Jenny kept her hand over her head showing her support. Clara took a deep breath and looked at them.

“I want to go back to my home. I think I shouldn’t have come here. I am sorry” Clara felt so bad to trouble them.

“You are excused to do anything you feel right,” Jenny exclaimed, giving her an amusing smile. Clara didn’t waste any more time as she turned and ran towards the door even without noticing the time which struck 12 already. Alex followed her instantly so that she reached her home safely.

Back home was hell silent. Clara regretted her actions as her tears rolled down her cheeks. What would her dad be doing? She knew that her parents wished for her happiness only. How can she take such a step?

Ron didn’t even move an inch from the couch as he was glancing at the door where Clara left. Did he go overboard? His tears stopped way before as his mind and heart weighed too much. Bella was sitting beside him with no emotions. Why didn’t they even see her side? Doesn’t she have any value in their life? Bella is very hurt by their actions. But more than that she is worried for Clara who left the home in anger.

“Why did she leave?” Ron asked after a long silence.

“Are you talking to me?” Bella asked, glaring at him with fiery eyes. That’s when Ron turned his gaze to his eyes.

“I thought I was invisible all the while. Glad that it’s not the case” Bella exclaimed and left for her room. Ron sighed tiredly. His wife is one tough nut to crack. It would drain him a lot to console her. But right now, he is too lazy to even follow her as he is fully paralyzed seeing the entrance. It’s as if he is expecting Clara to return to him.

Clara was standing there for five long minutes and was scared to knock on the door. Alex pressed her shoulders to make her go on. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Ron opened the door as if he was right standing there to open it.

“Pops,” she mumbled in a low voice. Bella ran to the hall to see the remaining drama still in her angry mode. Ron was not even looking at her as his stares were glued to the floor.

“I am sorry pops. Please” she mumbled with her cracked voice as Ron lifted his eyes which were filled with tears. He pulled her for a hug.

“I am sorry dear. I shouldn’t have slapped you. You know about my anger, right? My friend was taunting and teasing me about seeing you with a guy. I was just angry” Ron reasoned his actions as she was just crying in reply.

“I am sorry, pops. I shouldn’t have left home. I am sorry. You also know about my anger right?” She asked to pout more. Alex found them so cute and forgot to leave the place. Ron’s eyes fell over him as he got tense.

Bella smiled a little seeing the scene. But she is not in the right mood to join their hug.

“I thought you came back to ask for your rights in the property,” Bella commented, making them turn to her side. Ron signaled his daughter about Bella’s anger and Clara got tense.

“I should go,” Alex interrupted as the three looked at him. Clara can now rewind everything and realize that she did say that she loves him. That’s embarrassing for sure.

“But I want to tell you something before leaving the place. I don’t know if she loves me or not. But I love her. I know that she is the one for me. I can’t express that feeling exactly. But uncle trust me, I won’t let her cry even while cutting onions.” Alex genuinely told everything and looked at Clara’s parents.

“I am not going to fall for such dialogues. This generation of guys throw such words and attract everyone but I know that it’s difficult to manage the responsibility of marriage.” Ron replied and soon Jenny and Frank entered the home, startling everyone.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“I am sorry for coming at this time. But we were worried about you all” Jenny replied in an apologetic tone.

After a formal introduction, everyone settled down to at least talk it out.

“I don’t believe in love marriages. They don’t last long” Ron directly opened up about his thoughts putting a full stop to everything even before thinking about it.

“It’s not that all marriages are successful,” Alex replied, offended. Frank glared at his son to keep his mouth shut so that they could talk.

“It’s not that we are getting them married right away. Let’s just give some time to them.” The way Frank spoke Ron calmed down and Jenny and Frank instantly mingled up with them and talked a lot about their family and everything. Jenny did like this family.

“Can you talk to me for two minutes?” Bella asked, breaking her silence. She doesn’t want them to make any haste decisions. Frank and Jenny let them talk for some time.

“We think Clara should finish her exams. There are just a few months left for her. After that, if they still feel the same, we shall think about it.” Ron commented as decided by Bella.

“But they shouldn’t meet this period. This can be a test to them” Bella finished her sentence quickly before anyone could say anything.

Clara agreed instantly while Alex widened his eyes. This is not what he expected. He looked at his father who was busy planning things with his new friend, Ron. Guess this Frank needs treatment for sure.

“I hope you will agree to our decision. I don’t know if I hold any importance in your life” Bella spoke showing her displeasure towards her daughter who could sense everything behind her words.

“Mom, I am sorry. I will do as per your wish” Clara replied but Bella didn’t even look at her side. Alex is the one who wants to object to these but he has no power now.

“We should leave now” Jenny gets up from her seat followed by all.

“No” Alex screamed, gaining everyone’s attention towards his side.

How can they leave the home just like that? He looked at his dad as if he would drag him and fight with him. Frank looked away knowing well of the meaning of those stares.

“Are you going to stay here, then?” Frank asked, gasping loudly at his son.

“Jenny, our son is not ours anymore.” Frank dramatically spoke but everyone on Clara’s side got tense hearing his words.

“Dad, stop being like a whining daughter-in-law of television serials.” Alex rolled his eyes at his dad’s acting.

“Then, shall we go home?” Frank asked, smirking at him.

“If you want to go, you can. But I am not coming” Alex replied, eyeing at all as if he had some more plans for the day.
