Enchanted Love

A caring friend



“I know the route. Don’t irritate me. You can leave” Clara yelled when Alex was following her like a puppy.

“That’s why I am saying. Get into the cab. I will drop you” Alex replied as he carefully walked beside her having his stick.

“When needed you didnt even bother to check my safety. Now I don’t need your any kind of help” her words were very rude as she walked fast without even having any eye contact with him. She doesn’t want to be with him. Every second she is spending with him reminds her how she was thrown out that day. Alex looked away not wanting to argue with her for anything. Why did she have to voice out like everything is because of him?

“Don’t try to divert me. Get into the cab, dammit” Alex yelled loudly but Clara is nowhere to listen to his words. Alex took his phone and played the audio file that he always uses to start a romantic moment with her. But today it will be useful to put some sense into her brain.

The dog barking sound screeches the silent street as Clara halted her steps. She looked around to find the dogs but the audio gets deeper making her stumble back till her back touches his stoned chest.

Alex changes the file and played another dangerous tone where the dog barking sound seemed very real and that made Clara turn abruptly with a scream and she hugged him closing her eyes. He didnt expect this for sure. Looking at her petite frame, he trembled a little and cursed himself for such a plan. He stopped the voice note immediately and felt her calming down a little.

Clara pushed him suddenly realising her actions. Why does her day have to be so bad? Alex fell with her slight push because of his misbalance. He cried out in pain startling her.

“Oops, did it hurt?” She pleaded to realise the situation. She didnt mean to push him hard but seeing him in pain didnt go well with her. She sat beside him in the middle of the road as she slightly massages his back and helped him to sit beside her.

“If this is what you want to have a ride with me, let it be it” Alex mocked all annoyed making her sigh. She stood up helping him too. Both sat inside the cab where the driver was waiting patiently for their fight to get completed.

The drive was silent till Alex notices the driver adjusting the mirror just to see Clara. He grits his teeth and looked at Clara who is not at all aware of anything.

“Mam. Where is your home?” The driver asked breaking the silence?

“Can’t you just drive? What is the need to know her address?” Alex is irritated with the smile of the driver while he asks Clara.

“Are you dumb?” Clara asked Alex to which the driver laughed silently.

“How will he drop me if he doesn’t know my address?” Clara asked little irritated with his actions.

“He doesn’t have to drop you. I will drop you” Alex defended his actions.

“Sir is little possessive towards his girlfriend. Everyone would be like that. No issues. You just direct me the way” the driver interrupted them as both went numb with his words.

“I am not an idiot to be his girlfriend” Clara retorted.

“And I have standards dude,” Alex replied with a huff.

“Of course. I can’t match his standards at all.” Her words made him snap turn to her side. He is hurt by her words. But not that she used such language. Those were the words he spoke to her in anger. Did it hurt the same way to her that day? Did he go overboard?

“By the way, the road is there. Why are you looking at me?” She yelled at the driver making him gulp in fear. Clara looked like a doll but her voice and words were extremely rude and arrogant.

“Can you come early tomorrow? I have a meeting by 8 and before that, I want to complete your treatment.” Alex asked politely once Clara got down from the cab. She didnt reply but just looked as if she would come. Alex didnt like her attitude at all. Why does she have to behave like everything is because of him?

“You don’t have to come daily to drop me. I can manage.” Clara doesn’t like to disturb anyone for her work. But Jason is Jason. He doesn’t take orders. He does what he feels right. And he wants to be with her for at least in the morning drive.

“Don’t give importance to yourself. I am not coming with you for you. It’s just, your workplace has a gym and I can see some stylish girls on the way back to the hospital.” Jason shrugged off casually as he started the bike when Clara climbed behind him. She is thankful as she doesn’t need to wait for the bus which has no perfect timing.

“Thanks a lot, Jason,” Clara smiled at him.

“We are friends and I don’t prefer if you thank me for everything” Jason is a little offended. She always maintains a formal relationship with him whereas she too knew that he is the one who cares for her next to Alina.

“Hey” Jason called her as she turned to his side.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Why did you forget it from your home?” He asked seriously making her frown.

“What?” She has no idea of what he is talking about.

“How many times have I warned you not to forget that?” He asked with irritation.

“Jason, stop it. I am already late.” Clara knew one thing Jason can not be serious about anything.

“Fine. If you want I can lend you that” Jason spoke as she crossed her arms.

“Fine. What is that?” She asked?

“Smile” he smiled sheepishly and this time, Clara couldn’t hide her smile as it glowed under the morning sunlight. She hides her face with her fingers but her smile was so natural that no one can take their eyes off her. But what she didn’t notice was those chocolate brown eyes staring at her with the same intensity.

What is there to laugh at?  Alex didn’t like the way Clara is smiling with Jason. Seeing her smile after a long time made his heart pound but knowing that it’s not because of him made him mad.

“Enough of your nonsense.” Clara walked towards the entrance.

“Evening I will be here to pick you up. So wait for me” Jason screamed and that made Alex break the glass he was holding.

*****

“I am sorry. I am late” Clara apologised as she saw Alex already got ready to go to the office. It’s past 8 o clock.

“Of course, you should be. We don’t pay you for you to enjoy” Alex didnt mean those but his words flowed like a volcano. Clara can sense the irritation behind his words and she smiled again looking at his grumpy face.

“Fine. You can attend your meeting or whatever. I am going to check on your dad.” Clara turned to leave the room but Alex grabbed her hands which made her fall over him instantly.

“I didnt ask you to leave now. Treat me first” Alex stressed every word. Clara pushed him instantly.

“I am not Indian serials heroine for you to grab me every time you get angry. Next time you touch me, I won’t think twice to cut every vein in your body” Clara pointed her forefinger at him making him stumble back automatically.

“I am not your slave to take orders. Now I am in no mood to do your treatment. Come to me when I have the patience to at least look at you” Clara threw the file over the bed and left the room swiftly making his eyes wide. She was smiling just before and now she is in a foul mood even to see him. Alex breaks his phone in anger.

Precap:

“Party? Wow. I will be there early” Clara exclaimed. Alex rolled his eyes at her words. When did she start liking parties and all? Clara never liked being in the crowd.

“Of course, I have a pair to come with” Her words made him snap turn to her side. Of course he is jealous. Jealous that she has moved on easily. Jealous that she forgot everything about them. Jealous that nothing matters to her anymore. Jealous that he is still stuck in past.
