Enchanted Love

Alina stood there demanding answers from Edward whereas everyone was just stunned with her accusations. This girl is unbelievable.

Edward walked to her side, still crossing his arms in a dominating way.

“So, you don’t care about her relationship with me?” Edward asked, to know how much she trusts him?

“Edward, I can’t guarantee that you will be alright if you ever see another girl except for me. But right now, I am not an idiot to not even identify my sister” Alina replied as Clara gasped. Sister? Alina is the only child of her parents. Edward chuckled at her. She is surely one piece material and that’s why he likes her like anything.

“Which sister?” Clara asked but the girl turned with her fluffy eyes and cheeks.

“Caroline?” Clara gasped, closing her mouth. Caroline looked at Clara and scanned her costume. But it’s not the problem now, right?Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“If I am not wrong, it is her engagement in two days right?” Clara asked to calculate the sudden stunt of Caroline who is cousin sister of Alina and also a close friend of Clara too.

“Charlotte aunty is calling me.” Alina panicked as Caroline jumped in fear.

“Please, don’t tell my mom that I am here. She will kill me alive.” Caroline begged Alina. She just glared at her sister as she took the call.

“I don’t know, Alina, where she is gone?” Her aunt, Charolette cried in the call as Alina glared at Edward with so much anger.

“Aunty, please don’t worry. I will check with her friends and let you know soon. Between why did you arrange for her marriage suddenly?” Alina asked with irritation.

“Can we talk about it later? Your uncle is calling me. I should see if he knew something” her aunt hung up the call and Alina turned to see her cousin, Caroline with Edward. She lowered her eyes, accepting her fault.

“You ran away from your home alone. What did you think you would discover here?” Alina asked, transforming into a full wicked grandma who is ready to chew the little girl alive.

“Can you talk to her softly?” Edward came in between.

“No one can help you now” Alex muttered with a small giggle seeing how Alina was glaring at Edward to even support her cousin.

“Caroline has already been schooled by me since evening. That’s why” Edward replied as Alina shifted her gaze to Caroline.

“sister please. I am sorry that I ran away. But you should have met the groom’s family. They are thugs. I can’t marry him” she cried as she sat over the bed with a swollen face. Seeing her cry miserably, made Alina soften a little.

“I thought you would be worried. I wanted to sort it out before you know everything” Edward replied with a huge pout showing that he is indeed hurt by everyone’s accusing stares. Now it’s his turn to get angry and upset.

“Don’t count me in. I trusted you completely. I didn’t even want to come here. But your sweet buddy was sure that you are having an affair with some girl and he wanted to save Alina’s life.” Clara commented out of the blue. Edward gasped and looked at Alex. When did he change his parties? Alex looked at Clara with accusing stares as is it necessary for this information now?

“If he saw you earlier, he would have even filed a divorce for you with Alina. I didn’t know that you have such a friend” Clara added some fuel to the fire as Edward’s glares deepened, making Alex gulp in fear.

“I was worried for Alina” Alex tried to defend his actions.

“As if…” Clara huffed in annoyance.

“No one should have a friend like you” Edward replied as Alex gaped at him.

“You believed her words? I wanted her to doubt you. She trusted you and I didnt like that.” His words made him gape. Clara looked at him unbelievably.

“It’s not my problem.” Edward is annoyed.

“Decide on one thing. Is it her or me?” Alex behaved like a kid now. Clara looked at him with wide eyes. What does he want to prove here?

“She is my sister. I believe her more than you” Edward looked away as Clara felt so special. She raised her imaginary collar as she stood near Edward. She wanted to laugh at Alex but she controlled her giggle, making him madder

“Brother, you won’t believe me, he is even ready to demean your family” Clara came to her full mode to separate Edward from Alex.

“Is this new drama?” Alex is pissed off with their brother-sister drama.

“Today, I think I have no one on my side,” Alex declared.

“How about we celebrate this year’s Raksha Bandhan together?” Edward asked to make Alex annoyed again. Raksha Bandhan is an Indian festival for brothers and sisters. Clara agreed to it instantly. Alex scoffed at them as he turned away. The trio failed to notice the angry stares of Alina who is now on the verge of killing them.

“Will you guys shut up?” Alina screamed as she sat down in anger. Here her cousin has eloped from her home and these guys are fighting over such a silly matter.

“Caroline, I know that they decided without asking you. Even in my case, it was like that. But look at me, I am happy. So give it a chance” Alina tried to convince her but Caroline’s eyes welled up showing her helplessness.

“Sister, I can’t” she is scared and it’s evident. She doesn’t know what she should tell them but she is not going to marry that person.

“How about we all go to her place and convince her parents?” All turned to Jason whose presence was not visible till now. His eyes showed that he wanted to help with everything he could.

“Maybe he is right,” Alina replied instantly and stood up.

“Edward, can you come?” Alina asked, knowing well that his work is going on a rough path nowadays. So she would be okay if he stays back here.

“Nothing is more important than your family” Edward’s reply once more proved him to be the perfect guy any girl could get.

“Tomorrow evening, we are leaving,” Edward said as he checked the tickets.

“I am also coming,” Clara commented but she knew that her new boss won’t permit her any holiday.

“Maybe I will also follow. It’s been so long since we have done anything adventurous.” Alex smiled sheepishly. For some moments, Edward felt old Alex. Maybe this trip will do good for everyone.

“I will ask my dean to appoint any nurse for your parents,” Clara told him.

“But yeah, we can bring Dad with us” She voiced out as she beamed happily.

“It’s my dad,” he retorted like a kid.

“It will help him to gain confidence back.” She ignored his whining as she said her opinion.

“I will stay with Caroline today. Doll, you should leave so that you can pack things. One day is not enough for you to pack as usual” Alina said and everyone dispersed to get ready.

“Jason will drop me,” Clara said when Alex came there with his car. She strictly asked him to avoid driving but this guy never listens to her.

“I guess sir will drop you and me!” Jason smiled sheepishly showing his dimple.

“As you already knew that I went to that pub. So I don’t think it’s safe for me to drive.” Jason replied lowering his eyes in little embarrassment. Clara wanted to smash him but she controlled her anger and looked at Alex who was smirking widely.

“I can’t drop this guy. You can sit here” Alex replied as Jason widened his eyes.

“If that’s the case, I will walk with him to his home. Let’s go, Jason” Clara can’t leave Jason on the road even if the time has already passed 12.

“Fine” Alex yelled as Clara sat in the backseat. Jason tried to open the left side and was about to sit near Clara.

“I am not your driver.” Alex snapped at Jason and asked him to sit in the front seat. Jason is taken back by his rudeness to him. They barely met and why did Alex have to be this mad at him? He mistook him to be Edward’s friend as he forgot about the guy Clara is working with.

Jason can’t sit straight for one minute as his hand reached the radio and switched it on. The most se*y song started playing as both Alex and Clara widened their eyes at him.

“Don’t look at me as if I am singing. It’s the radio” Jason reasoned.

“By the way, it’s my favorite. So I am not switching it off” Jason added with blush and turned to the window when Clara gaped at him.

“Joker” Alex muttered under his breath. Clara saw him telling that and wondered why he is irritated with Jason? Is he jealous of him? Maybe Clara is close with Jason that’s why!

“Hey Clara, my mom sent me a picture today. Would you want to see that?” Jason asked, sending the picture to her.

“What will I do seeing those” Clara always restricted herself to go deep into friendship. After Rachel betrayed her as a friend, Clara had a hard time recovering from that. But Jason broke those walls and entered her heart easily as a friend.

“Wow” Clara mumbled when she saw the picture. The girl wore a simple yellow suit with no makeup but glowed like an angel.

“I said no to marry this girl,” Jason replied. Now both Clara and Alex gaped at him. Alex wondered why he denied marrying such a beautiful girl whereas Clara wanted to know if he was seeing someone else.

It seems the drive has to be long.
