Enchanted Love

It’s been a month since both Clara and Alex met. Alex tried hard to respect his parent’s decision but her little kiss made it very difficult for him to avoid calling her or meeting her. On the other hand, Clara was fighting over her new emotion. She wanted to see if she is really in love with him or not. Clara is always a composed girl and she does everything after a detailed experiment. She doesn’t make any rash decisions. But Alex is the only thing that she wanted to break her rules.

Alex started buttering his dad so that he plans for something and invites Clara to their home. Frank made sure to convince his son for a long time and today it reached its limit. Alex didn’t buy any excuses.

“Did you adopt me as your son?” Alex asked all frustrated as Jenny stuffed his laugh in a quarrel.

“How did you come to know this?” Frank asked all shocked as Alex widened his eyes.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.



“Whatever. You are our son and no one would point any finger at that” Frank caresses his cheeks emotionally as Jenny laughed out loudly.

“It’s not time for a joke” Alex sat on the couch with a pout.

“Frank, how can you do this to my Alex? Just help him now” Jenny yelled at Frank and sat beside Alex with the same pout. Frank held his head and sat there beside them.

“Mr. Taylor asked us not to disturb them for at least a few months. What do you want me to do?” Did Frank ask pouting the same?

“Frank,” Jenny called him in a low voice. Frank turned to see her beautiful face filled with worries.

“Please, Jaan” She commented as Frank forgot everything around him. She used to call him like this in their earlier days of marriage. But as they grew old, she stopped calling him like that. Now when she called him, he is lost in her eyes and forgot everything around him, especially his son.

“Anything for you, my love” Frank replied and kissed her cheeks instantly making Alex widen his eyes. He didn’t expect them to romance in front of him.

“Can you both romance later and plan something for my love life?” Alex broke their little moment as both stood aside and glared at their son angrily.

“Here is your phone?” Alex forwarded his phone and dialed Ron’s number already.

“But what should I say?” Frank asked all panicked when Alex pressed the green button to call him.

“Just read these dialogues and that’s it,” Jenny said handing him a paper with a set of dialogues.

“Hello” hearing Ron’s voice, Frank gets tense. That man is really scary and Frank wanted to maintain his voice so that he doesn’t express his fear visible

“Hi, I am Frank Smith speaking” Frank replied with a little authoritative tone.

“Hi, how are you and everyone in your home?” Ron asked instantly with a little smile.

“Anything important that you have called me?” Ron asked directly. Frank gulped his fear and took the paper to read whatever was written there.

.

“Frank’s mother is coming here tomorrow,” Frank spoke as Alex and Jenny widened their eyes

“Frank’s mother. Is there anyone beside you who is Frank?” Ron asked as Frank rotated his eyes like a kid who got caught in the middle of the exams.

“I meant, my mom.” Frank stuttered.

“Oh. So?” Ron asked instantly.

“She heard about Clara and Alex and” Frank paused and took another breath

“And?” Ron asked hesitantly

“She wants to meet her. So if you don’t mind, can you send Clara tomorrow?” Frank asked, closing his eyes and hoping for a positive reply. Alex and Jenny wait for their result.

“Is it necessary for her to come there?” Ron asked all concerned. He wanted to give them little time to decide for their future. And moreover, it is not even decided, he doesn’t want Clara to meet anyone.

“Mr Taylor. I know it’s difficult for you. I don’t know what your decision would be for their future. But I am quite confident that Clara would be my only daughter. You can trust me on this. I won’t let anything wrong happen to her. So please don’t worry” Frank spoke throwing the paper away as if he doesn’t want to read those stupid dialogues.

“And if you want to test them for years also, you can do it. But I have full hope that my Alex loves her truly. I can sense it from his eyes.” Frank added as Alex took a knife and eyed his father angrily for suggesting another testing period.

How can he suggest such a dangerous idea to Ron? What if he liked the idea and extends the period? So he consoles his son by slowly taking the knife away. Frank gulps in fear.

After the conversation, Frank hungs up the call and sat over the couch.  Jenny and Alex were waiting impatiently for his answer but Frank seemed to have another plan.

Frank kept his legs over the table and eyed his son to massage it. Alex gasped at his drama.

“What did he say?” Alex asked as Frank again signaled his legs. Alex didn’t waste any time as he started doing the massage.

“Jenny, I have a little headache. Can you bring me ginger tea?” Frank asked ignoring their curious eyes to know what Ron told him.

“Milk is there, inside the fridge. Tea powder, i guess it’s over the left side table. And you have two hands. Serve yourself ” Jenny replied sitting across him with the same attitude.

That comes to his ego. Frank rolled his eyes and glared at his wife.

“I want a hot coffee so that I can tell you both what Ron told me,” Frank replied crossing his arms.

Alex didn’t wait for more as he rushed inside to prepare coffee. Both Frank and Jenny looked on shocked to see his curiosity.

Alex came back and gave the coffee to Frank who was on the verge of his emotions. He knew about his son well and had never seen such a side of him. Frank can sense Alex’s love with this single gesture. The girl has some powers for sure. Frank felt very happy to see his son.

“She will come tomorrow,” Frank replied with no more drama and had a sip of coffee. Alex lifted Frank instantly and his coffee spilled over the floor as a result.

“Thanks, dad” Alex exclaimed.

******

Clara dressed up in a simple yellow dress with a pendant that Alex gifted her last month. She smiled a little remembering how the courier came to her home all of a sudden and she recognized instantly that it was from Alex.

She entered the home silently and eyed the decorations. Is it for her? Or else there is some function going on? She was hell confused as she walked past the door. She saw Frank who was enjoying his coffee. Before she could call him, she was pulled to the right side of the home and in seconds she found herself in a small room.

“Who?” Before she could ask, she met her favorite chocolate brownies. Was that blue back then? Did he use a different colour lens just to impress her? She loved all colours in his captivating eyes.

Alex looked at her without blinking. He doesn’t care about anything right now. He expected her to get angry but he doesn’t care. He wants to meet her. It’s been days since he saw her.

He was startled when Clara pulled him into a hug. This girl knew to shock him.

“I missed you” Clara mumbled with a small smile. She is not like those girls who make the guy run behind them. She is very honest in her feelings.

“Honestly, I thought it’s just an attraction. But I guess it is not” Clara added blinking her egg-shaped eyes. Alex is just in awe of her words. She looked too cute.

“So?” He asked raising her chin.

“Is it more than attraction?” Alex asked with the hope to hear something from her mouth. But she was silent as if regretting to open up her feelings.

Both were too immersed that no one could hear the commotion there from outside.

“Clara” Alex heard everyone searching for Clara.

“They didn’t even see you. How did they know that you came here?” Alex asked opening the door and widening his eyes to see Clara’s parents there. Did she come with them? How will they now get out?
