Enchanted Love

Seven months is not a big gap but it felt eternal when she met him after a long gap. She knew that if she stayed there longer, she would get a panic attack for sure. She doesn’t want him to know that his presence matters to her anymore. She changed her expression to a rigid one as she turned her heels and walked towards her home ignoring both the men.

Alex clutched the steering in such a way that the blood stopped flowing in his hand. Meeting her is not a good thing. It unlocked many emotions in him. Why the hell does he have to take this route? He cursed himself as he drove at high speed to reach his home in the sane mind.

Both of them don’t want to recall anything but who are they kidding? They both recalled their first meeting. It was magical and unique. How do they wish it never happened?

Flashback: THEIR FIRST MEETING:

“This trip should be named as a mess,” Alina yelled at everyone as she kept her luggage bag with a force that made everyone close their eyes in reflex. Clara stood behind Alina battling her eyes with a pout.

“Relax doll. I really don’t know what went wrong.” Clara replied and turned to check the information again. But Alina is in no mood to listen to her as usual. Who can stand before the anger of Alina?

Clara’s friends are also annoyed with the sudden messed-up plan. They happily planned a one-week Goa trip and everything was organized by Clara who is very perfect among all. She can never do anything imperfect. But this one is not at all expected from Clara’s side. The full journey was not at all well organized. When they were about to board the flight, Clara missed her ID card and all were tense to search for that. At the last moment, they got it and finally reached Goa. Now the room which Clara has booked for them is not available. Their room is given to some other VIP clients of the restaurant.

“Sir. This is just unfair” Clara didn’t expect this for sure. She has booked this room for one week before itself so that there won’t be any problem. Now they are standing in front of the hotel with no rooms.

“I am really sorry for the inconvenience. But we told them about you all. That person offers double the amount. But we won’t accept that. When he directly contacted the owner of the hotel, we had to accept his offer. I am sorry madam. We can arrange some other places for your accommodation” The manager is genuinely ashamed to utter those. But he is concerned for the group of friends. He even consulted the nearby hotel to check for available rooms.

Clara can take anything but this? She didn’t listen to anything the manager spoke about afterward. She can’t just get humiliated by this. Those people who have snatched her room should get a lesson for sure. She marched towards the left side where their room was supposed to be.

Clara knocked on the door harshly but didn’t receive any response. After a while, the door was opened. The manager stood there helpless. He can make Clara and all leave from there. But he too feels that they are right from their view.

Clara kept her bags inside the room even without glancing at the person who just opened the door. She doesn’t care about it.

“Clara. Let’s leave. Don’t create any drama” pleaded Alina who is well aware of Clara’s stubbornness. Alina calmed down but Clara turned into a lioness and she wanted justice.

“What happened?” A soft voice echoed in the room while Clara turned to see the owner of the voice. She should say that the voice is very soft and fragile yet it carries some aura to demand respect. She never gets carried away in her life with just the voice. But it’s different.

Her hazel eyes met the chocolate brown orbs. A perfect guy with a perfect beard. To add to his charm, he has perfectly grown hair that ends just behind his ears. He is just simply hot in all aspects. Clara didn’t even blink away from his side. He could see that shameless stare of her over him. He slightly smiles, recognizing his effect on her.

He can’t deny the fact that she is looking awesome. Her milky cheeks which are slightly blushing because of him and her cute lips are the highlighting part.

For some seconds they were enchanted with each other and didn’t feel like taking their eyes off. But a sudden commotion made them snap their eyes towards their left side where their friends were fighting for the room. That’s when Clara realized why she had come here.

“Ani. Relax. what are u doing ?” Clara pulled Alina who was on the verge of killing everyone. She was just talking with them but their replies were full of attitude and Alina couldn’t control herself from pulling the man into a physical fight.

“Doll this man is full of attitude. He is asking us to stay with them in the same room as when I said we had booked it earlier.” Alina tightened the grip over his hair who was screaming in pain. She couldn’t care for it though. Clara tried to keep her friend away but failed miserably.

*******

Everyone settled over couches after such a long drama. Edward was still rubbing his hair to ease the pain. He looked at Alina unbelievably. And Alina seemed to be unaffected. How can she just grab his hair?

“Sorry. We shouldn’t have suggested that. We didn’t mean those too. We thought. Leave it and you can go” Alex apologised to all and looked at everyone but Clara. Alina looked at him with fiery eyes. Why should they leave?

“Ok if you say so. Unfortunate guys. We should leave girls ” said Clara, looking directly at Alex.

“W. h. a. t. w. h. a. t. unfortunate??” Alex couldn’t get the meaning of her words for real. Clara just smirked back at him.

“I must say that you all are looking good and smart. So I thought we could adjust to this room for a day. But guess you are not that good-looking. We can move somewhere else” Clara’s words made the boys flustered. That was a bold comment from a cute girl.

The more flustered was Alex who didn’t expect the cute girl to be bold. His friends screamed to make him more embarrassed.

Clara on the other hand doesn’t want to leave the room. She has paid for it and she has the right to stay there. Now searching for a new hotel is nearly impossible. It will be a loss of time. Moreover, this room is a luxury room and they could part it into two and share it for sure.

“Are you a mad, doll?” Alina is not at all convinced by Clara’s words. Who will share the room with these thieves who have snatched their room?

“Relax ani. It’s about one day. That too till evening. First, we have to go to the collaba spot. Let’s think about it. After that, we have a full evening to search for other hotels.” Clara didn’t accept this offer just like that. Instead, she has plans for that too. They have important work to do.

“Ok fine. This portion will be your girls. And trust me. we won’t even cross this line.” Alex as usual came forward to change the atmosphere.

“And you should trust us. We would love to cross this line.” Alex widened his eyes at Clara’s words. This girl is pulling their legs directly and Alex feels powerless to reply to her.

“To disturb you all. To punish you for snatching our room” yelled Alina again and Alex got her point. He looked down smilingly as he misunderstood her words. And Clara smiled a little seeing his reactions catching his mind.

All girls and boys leave the room at the same time.

“We have to meet someone. So you guys enjoy it and we shall meet for lunch. I will share the location. So bye guys” Clara waved her hands at her friends who just jumped to run towards the first spot they had decided to go for.

Clara and Alina took a cab. Clara is excited to go there but Alina is not at all in a pleasing mood to go there.

“Can you just relax and let things go as per their fate?” Clara asked and expected Alina to leave her angry side for once. But Alina glared at her in response.

“How can you expect me to relax? My dad wants me to marry some dumb ass just because he is rich and it will be good for me. Like seriously? I have great plans for my future and I don’t want to be a puppet in others’ hands for sure” Alina threw the tissue paper in anger. She doesn’t like the way the marriage talks begin and even it’s finalized without her knowing. She is just given an option to meet him. Her dad is sure that Alina would surely like him.

They both reached the cafe and sat there for fifteen minutes. Alina’s nose flared up in anger every second. How dare he make them wait?

“Miss. Alina ” Alina banged the table when finally he came to meet her. Clara and Alina turned to see them and widened their eyes.

“Room thief??” Both Alina and Clara exclaimed together and looked at Edward.

“Well. That’s a unique name. But I would love to be called jaan, honey, or whatever” said Edward with a wide smirk on his face. That’s saying that he knew about Alina and purposefully he asked her to stay in that room. And his soft dialogue implies that he liked her too much. Clara smiled at her calculating everything but Alina looked at him with another expression.

Embarrassed is a small word when compared to Alina’s mindset right now. Silently she bowed down. She shouldn’t have pulled his hair back then.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

After a couple of minutes, the trio was seated in the cafe. And ordered for capuchin. Clara controlled her smile as Edward was hell-bent on making Alina more embarrassed with his continuous stare over her.

“Let’s be frank. I really liked you when my mom proposed for our marriage. And it’s mainly because you are really beautiful” confessed Edward. Alina just went numb by this man’s bravery statement. This is not what she expected. At least when she behaved violently with him. and even though men like girls because of their beauty, they won’t admit it openly. Alina liked his honesty.

“Well. If I have to be honest, I came here to say no to marriage” said Alina, breaking the ice. She knew that her words broke his heart for sure. But she has to be honest.

“If I could get a chance to convince you?” Asked Edward suddenly as he expected this from Alina already. because of Alina’s mom who has already contacted Edward about the same.

“What if I say no,” asked Alina, raising her eyebrows while Clara dragged Alina slightly.

“Ani. You just wanted to know him entirely before marriage, that’s it. Why are you playing hard to get? Give him a chance” said Clara.

“That’s my girl. miss. Clara” said Edward smilingly.

“And you won’t regret giving me a chance.” Said Edward while Alina just smiled back in approval.

“Tomorrow is the whole day with me. We shall spend some time together and see if it will work between us or not. Trust me I will be honest.” Edward smiled at them.
