Enchanted Love

Alex and Clara were sitting there for half an hour since everyone left them inside their room. Alex didn’t know that he would be this nervous to even look at her side. Clara on the other hand was hell scared and couldn’t express what she was thinking about. She wants to be with him and wants to know more about him. But she could form no words to say those.

“Relax. Are you scared of me?” Alex asked, startling her. Did she show her state that obvious? Clara blinked and nodded negatively.

“Should I be scared of you?” She asked as he smiled at her reply.

“Omg. Are you going to eat me alive? Do you have any secrets? Omg. Don’t tell me that you are a vampire.” Clara exclaimed horrified, making him startled with her imagination.

“What if I am?” He asked as he unbuttoned his first two buttons. Okay, that’s a bad choice to tease him. She blinks when she sees his stare which is charging to a darker shade.

“Do you know what kind of vampire I am?” He asked as he neared till both of their faces have a very little gap between

“Alex. I didn’t” she fumbled as her breath started going uneven.

“I am that kind of vampire who would squeeze every ounce of blood from your body and would never let you go even after that” he spoke as he fanned her face which was already flushed red with his words.

“I guess I should show you practically. As you are a medical student, you would be bored with theories right?” His words sent a chill to her spine as he removed his coat already.

“Alex. I am sorry. I was just kidding okay? Now please stay in your place.” Clara yelled and pushed him as he started laughing like a maniac making her frown.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Okay relax. Look at me” he cupped her cheeks and still, she was pouting.

“I know that I love you and you too love me. But that can’t be the only thing ruling our relationship. I want us to know each other well and I want you to trust me in anything. We should be comfortable with each other to talk about anything. So let us take everything slowly” he spoke and she has no idea how she should react to this. Of course, she wanted to say these all. Maybe her decision to marry him is the best decision of her life. She just hugged him instantly with a small smile showing how much she loved the way he gave her enough space.

“But I will sleep like this only” he cuddled her as he kissed her hair wishing her good night. She loved the way he makes her feel special. She loved everything about him already.

The sun started smiling brightly as its rays fell over her angelic face. Alex gently made her turn to his side so that she could sleep for some time more. She smiled seeing his care for her. Is it what she expected in her married life and everything looks so perfect.

“Good morning, wife” he wished her with a naughty hint as he kissed her forehead where the red coloured sindhoor is still as fresh as the previous day.

“Good morning, hubby” she replied with a warm smile that filled his heart instantly. She has some magical charms which colour his life.

Alex for once wanted to break his rules and wanted to break every wall between them. But he knew that he wanted to gain trust first before moving ahead in his relationship.

The loud knock on the door made them jerk from their position. Who might knock on the door like this? Alex ran instantly as his thoughts went wild. Did something happen to anyone?

“Are you guys still sleeping?” Elena was displeased with Clara on the first day in her in-law’s house. Is she not supposed to wake up early and impress them? Is that what every girl does?

“Come down quickly” Elena left the place throwing glares at both.

Clara gets scared with the tone Elena uses for her. Why did she switch off the alarm which was shouting near her ears in the early morning? Cursing everything, Clara zoomed inside the washroom to have a bath in just 2 minutes. She doesn’t want to disappoint anyone on the first day itself. She has the full life ahead to disappoint them but not on this special day.

Clara reached the hall in her not so adorable look. Her wet hair shows how much she rushed there without even wiping it off

“I didn’t expect this from you. You were sleeping till 7 in the morning?” Elena questioned in her strict tone. Clara just lowered her head. But is 7 o clock even morning? She gets up early to go to college but normally she would wake up at 8. Anyways, she shrugged her thoughts and accepted her mistake even though she doesn’t feel that she has done any.

“Today, you will prepare something for the ritual. So prepare in which you are specialised with. Guests may arrive anytime” Elena instructed and left the place. Clara just wants to roll her eyes at the old lady but no. She has liked that lady since day one. So she just went with the flow.

Jenny came there where Clara smiled brightly seeing her mother in law. At least now she might have someone on her side.

“Mom, I am sorry. I will teach her to everyone. Please don’t be angry” Jenny mumbled as she apologised to Elena. But Elena just glared at Jenny.

“Clara, go and prepare something fast” Jenny slightly raised her tone when she saw Clara standing there to watch the drama. Clara couldn’t comprehend what was going on?  They were the same people who pampered her till the previous day. What happened to them all of a sudden?

Clara felt as if she was unexpectedly trapped on some other planet. She felt suffocated. But she gave up her thoughts and tried to believe her instincts. This can’t be the way her in-laws behave. She gulped her saliva and started doing her simple sweet which she knew perfectly. She wants to impress them with her sweetness at least. Ignoring the sound from outside, she continued garnishing it with lots of nuts and chocolates over the top.

She walked towards the dining hall with a big tray which had many cups to serve the dish to the members. She could see Alex discussing something with his grandmother.

“Sweet is here” she kept the tray on the table and started serving them, hiding her unpleasant mood with a bright smile.

“It’s nice.” Elena was the first to compliment that as Clara’s face beamed happily.

“I guess you cook well,” Elena stated as a result making her cough suddenly. Everyone looked at her side.

“Why? Don’t you know cooking?” Elena asked again to which she blinked her eyes.

“This sweet I always prepare whenever I get good scores in my school. That’s how it’s done perfectly. About cooking. I don’t know” Clara mumbled with a low voice. Elena stood up as a reaction making her startled by the sudden commotion.

“Mom, relax” Jenny tried to console her but she glared at Clara with anger.
