Enchanted Love

Looking at the baby bump, Alina blushed as she combed her hair. She decided not to whine about anything and would always be happy to capture the moment of all the months. It’s their fifth month. Edward made sure to make her feel special every day and every second. She stuffed cashews in her mouth as she drank the juice in one go. She is damn grateful that she doesn’t have morning sickness or any vomiting since day one and she enjoys all kinds of food.

She opened a small box where Edward gifted her a gold pendant. He is always so sweet when it comes to surprising her with his unique gifts. She kept the pendant inside the drawer where she had kept four more gifts which he always give at the beginning of their pregnancy month.

“am I looking fat?” Alina asked when Edward hugged her from the backside. Edward looked at her from the mirror with scared ridden face. He remembered his state when he answers this question. The first time, he said no. And she threw tantrum and didn’t talk to him for the whole day as she knew that he was lying. The second time, he was honest and said yes and she didn’t talk to him for a week as she felt offended.

“I don’t know,” he replied praying to all stars but as usual she pushed him with a glare.

“I think you are bored of me. You don’t even want to answer my questions. Fine. Get lost and don’t you dare to come near me” Alina threw the pillow over his side and her eyes welled up automatically.

“Get up” Clara was begging him for one hour and he is in no mood to let her go at any moment.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“I came home after three days trip and you are so unromantic” Alex pouted as he snuggled more in her neck.

“We have invited Edward and Alina to lunch” Clara pouted and again tried to make her freed from his clutches but failed miserably

“I will cancel it. Don’t worry” His reply made her glare at him.

“Alex, be serious” Clara stood up with a grumpy face.

“I am always serious. I don’t want him to brag about how he is excited for his baby.” Alex replied with a huge frown on his face that made Clara giggle.

“That’s why we should work hard to gift his baby a sister or brother” Alex winked as he pecked her lips and smirked at her flushed expression.

“You are always shameless” Clara mumbled as she took her dress to get ready. She looked at the green long gown which Alex bought for her to have a simple marriage after Jason’s engagement. She blushed thinking how it went too pretty. Even Jenny’s state progressed a lot after that. She now opens her eyes and listens to everyone talking to her. She doesn’t speak though or get up. As her case is related to her mental strength, it will soon happen anytime.

“Good morning dear” Frank walked to her side and she is so proud of herself. She made Frank walk on his feet very soon. Her dean was very impressed with the technique of her treatment.

“I have arranged everything down. So don’t rush. Take time and get ready” Frank’s teasing smile is visible in his tone as Alex jumped to her side.

“Did you see? He asked us to not rush.” Alex smiled as he too took his cloths and Clara widened her eyes with his actions.

“Never.” Clara pushed him as she entered the washroom alone. Alex laughed at her scared face. She never feels comfortable in bathing together and he always threatens her to do that and at last angers her to a damn extent that she always ends up beating him.

“Its been five months and still you stay silent with me?” Jason is in his limit now. Sana acts as if she is forced to marry him and not at all giving any respect to his presence. She tortures him in almost every second and every minute.

“what you actually want?” Jason grabbed her by her arms.

“Beg till I speak to you. Beg if you don’t want me to run away right before the marriage.” Sana’s voice was so scary that made Jason gulp visibly.

“Sana, I know I am at fault. But it’s too old matter and I was just a kid back then” Jason reasoned but she stared at him as if she would eat him alive.

“Did you think that your dad is compelling you to marry me?” She asked grabbing his shoulders.

“It was me who has proposed this” Sana snapped in an extremely dangerous tone. Jason looked at her shocked. Since their engagement, Sana was continuously showing that she is not interested in marrying him and Jason as a gentleman tried his best to impress her or tried to change their little bitter past but he has been failed every time as she gave him cold shoulders.

“Why?” Jason asked unable to process any reason for her words.

“Jason, do you remember Kaira?” Sana asked as she crossed her arms in a dominating way and Jason could feel that the way where the conversation is heading to is not at all safe one.

“Who, Kaira?” Jason asked.

“She was in your class in the tenth grade.” Sana spoke as Jason widened his eyes. The girl proposed to him and suddenly she denied to talk to him the next day.

“Rachel?” Sana asked again and now Jason is getting goosebumps. Rachel was the girl during his college days and the same incident happened. He didn’t find any reason but just let that go easily as he doesn’t have time to worry for useless things. Now Sana’s expressions tells him that those were not useless incidents but something happened.

“You broke my heart when you avoided me but I can’t just easily move on. You were my childhood crush and will always be my love. If your life becomes blessed, it should be because of me. And if it become cursed also it should because of me” The words Sana spoke gave horror movie music to Jason and Sana smirked at his expressions. She always followed him since their school days and never let any girl to be near him. The more she she grew up the more she realised that it was not a simple crush but love.

Deep inside she knew that she is so obsessed with Jay but she can’t help it. She is even aware that if he comes to know these, he will run away from her but she wanted to tell. She didn’t lift her eyes to see him as she walked past him without even looking at him.

Edward and Alina were surprised to see the banner at the entrance of Alex’s home. It’s just a lunch invite but Alex made it so special. Edward smiled seeing his pic with a baby bump along with Anika picture with the same baby bump and had a heart in the center with a question of boy or girl?

“Alex is far better than you” Alina taunted as she entered the home with the same soul mood while Edward sighed. Back then, whenever she fights he knows that she enjoys their banters and he too plays along. But now, her mood swings are worse than any pregnant woman. He is worried that she is hurting her.

“Doll” Clara came running and hugged her friend while Edward had a very bad face. Clara knew that it must be exhausting for Edward to bear Alina’s tantrums.

Edward noticed Clara’s arms with soap foam. He was about to let her know but by that time, Alex came there in his wet hair.

“Someone had a bath but the other one has soap foam. Did we miss something?” Edward gasped dramatically as Clara widened her eyes looking at her arms and rubbed it.

“What’s wrong in that? We always want to fulfil all the vows we took in the wedding. So we vowed to help each other in everything.” Alex shrugged off his shoulders as Clara gasped at his words.

“Don’t lie. You forcefully pulled me inside when you were bathing.” That was unexpected from Clara as all looked at her wide eyed.

“But you didn’t leave after that.” Alex added with a smirk and Clara felt so stupid to even defend her actions. He is too shameless and she can’t just admit everything in front of all.
