Enchanted Love

“Of course, it’s not a big deal. You have to attend the camp.” Clara recalled how Mira convinced her to attend her camp a few days ago and Clara even went to attend it for a single day. But Alex caught a light fever. So Mira took care of him the full day till Clara came back. Clara felt that Mira is really a great person that she missed her important meeting just to take care of Alex.

Even today, the way Mira apologises to her manager proves it that it must be an important presentation. She is not there to present it as she was busy taking care of Alex just like how a wife should take care of her husband. She is showing off these to Clara to make her feel incompetent. Clara felt like slapping herself to believe this girl and even trust her with everything. Clara even considered Mira next to Alina.

Realising her emotions, Alina pulled her for a big hug and caressed her back to soothe her pain.

“Doll, it is not your mistake,” Alina mumbled as she pats her head.

“Why did I even believe that bitch?” Clara asked in her heavy angry tone. Clara wanted to pull Mira and fight with her till either of them passed out.

“Relax. Now you should not act rashly. Just play along with her. Alex likes Mira. He won’t believe your words. So don’t even try to tell everything to Alex. Even if you tell, Alex would feel pity that Mira loves him. Other than that, you have no proof for her behaviour.” Alina explained but Clara was in no mood to listen to anything.

“Doll, promise me that you won’t fight with her now. Just play along. Doll, are you even listening to me?” Alina yelled as she slapped slightly over her cheeks. Clara couldn’t accept that Mira could have two faces. She loved Mira from the bottom of her heart. She admired her like her elder sister. This betrayal has broken Clara and she couldn’t gather herself.

“Guys, sorry. I had important things to settle in my office” Mira entered the room with a smile. Now Clara could see her fake smile too.

“If it is that important, why didn’t you go to the office today?” Clara asked but kept her tone calm enough not to make it obvious that she is aware of her cunning nature.

“I went to the office but couldn’t concentrate on my work as Alex’s voice full of tension started bothering me a lot. That’s why I went to Manali without any second thought.” Mira replied, munching the lays which are her favourite. Even now, Clara felt that Alina must be wrong in judging her as Mira’s expressions and her reasons were too honest and pure to raise questions.

“You could have notified me. I was free only” Clara replied and wondered why Mira had never thought this way if her intentions are clean? Maybe Alina is right about her.

“It’s late. I think we should leave now” Alina commented, breaking their conversation.

“Bye, Alina” Mira is quick to interfere.

“I thought you were also leaving. It’s 7 already” Alina replied, all annoyed.

“I want to check if Alex is fine or not. So you carry on. I will leave later” Mira shrugged casually and threw her charming smile.

“I guess he is not any five-year-old kid for you to check on” Alina commented with a laugh.

“Your friend is too cute. Her comments and words are damn funny” Mira easily dodged her comment with a laugh.

“Known enemy is better than these types of silent venomous snakes” Alina commented in her low voice which is audible only to Clara.

“She is right, Alina. Let her stay here till Alex wakes up.” Clara smiled broadly. Alina felt so happy to see that smile on her face. She knew that instant that Mira should have a reality check and Clara is all set to strike her back with her sassiness. Alina left the home with satisfaction. Clara can handle it from here.

“How are you? Why do you have to take everything over your head? Did you even look at yourself? Why didn’t you take your friend Vicky with you?” Mira is very concerned for Alex. So she bombarded him with several questions as soon as he opened his eyes from his sleep.

Clara entered the room witnessing the drama with a smile. She took the tray and got inside.

“Darling, have this and tell your friend that these small problems can never break you. I trust you.” Clara knows exactly what Alex wants right now. She got a satisfied smile when Alex gave her his charming look as he grabbed her along with the coffee.

“I was waiting for your coffee. Why didn’t you come?” Alex complained like a little kid?

“I thought you should take a rest.” She replied trying to get up from his lap feeling uneasy in front of Mira.

“Why? Do you have some plans for the night?” He asked shamelessly as she widened her eyes at his comment.

“Shut up, Mira is here” Clara liked to be pampered by him in front of her but she is extremely shy to even sit there.

“Should I ask her to go?” Alex asked naughty, making her go red with his words.

“Oh really?” Mira threw a pillow toward Alex breaking their moment.

“I am here all worried for you and you are making fun of me?” Mira’s jealousy started showing up clearly to Clara. Why didn’t she look through it before?

“Leave her right now or else I will kill you” Mira threatened him. Clara always laughed at such comments of Mira and played along to make fun of Alex, spoiling his romance in front of Mira.

“Kill me if you can” Alex loves to piss Mira. She started throwing pillows toward him while Clara kept mum and let them do whatever they wanted. In this, she liked being in his arms. So she doesn’t want to support Mira.

“Clara, what happened? Did you change the team?” Mira asked, unaware of the fact that she can now sense everything.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I have never changed my team. It’s always Alex.” Clara replied in her shy tone making Alex grin wider.

“Omg, am I dreaming?” Alex asked as if he had won a lottery ticket.

“Okay, you both have teamed up against me” Mira pouted and sat there all exhausted. She turned her face away from them. Clara felt his grip loosen around her waist as she noticed him watching Mira with a smile.

“Hey, cupcake. Are you upset?” Alex asked leaving Clara, to console her.

“Hm,” Mira replied with a deep frown. Clara didn’t like to drag out the drama but she couldn’t do anything other than watch them. She felt pity for Alex. How would he bear it if he came to know about her acting? Mira and Alex started laughing and playing and as usual, left Clara alone. Alex always tried to involve Clara and she admires that quality in him. Mira is one smart lady who makes Clara feel hurt in almost everything.

“Jaan, ask her to stay here. It’s almost night.” Alex is annoyed when Mira starts her drama of going home.

“Alex, don’t compel her. If she wants to go, you should not compel her. She may have some work in her home. She can’t explain everything to you.” Clara now wants her to leave the home. Because if Mira stays there, she knows what will happen next. The three would be spending the night together and again Clara would be the one to be left alone. Clara wants to change the game for Mira.

“Fine. I will drop her and come.” Alex didn’t like the idea though. But he agrees with Clara and takes his jacket to drop Mira off.

“Darling,” Clara called softly, grabbing him by her side.

“Do you love me?” She asked all of a sudden with a hint of insecurities.

“Should I drop the idea of dropping Mira and show you how much I love you?” Alex asked with a smirk, making her blush yet again with his words. How can he do this always?

“What do you like the most about me?” Clara didn’t want to let the topic go.

“At present, I love the way you understand my friendship with Mira. I have wondered if my wife would accept Mira. But you are one unique piece and I love you for the trust you have in me. I love you for loving Mira the same way I love her. In short, you are a blessing to me” Alex kissed her forehead and now Clara knew that no Mira can break them apart. If there is anything that can break them, it would be them alone.

Clara hugged him tightly and decided to let Mira do anything but she will just love her Alex.

Mira couldn’t hear their conversation but she didn’t disturb them also as she was waiting there in the door but their moment seemed too long to make her piss off.
