Enchanted Love

Flashback

Clara has never dreamt about her marriage. Girls always play with dolls making them married and most of them dream of their own marriages with their prince charming. But Clara had never had time to think away from her studies. And now she doesn’t know what to feel and how to get ready? But one thing in common with her like other girls. She is damn excited as she helped herself with the bridal dress. She loved the golden coloured dress which obviously Alex had selected for her.

But marriage this early? She didn’t feel right about it. There are still some months left for her to complete the internship. She wants to become a doctor and dreamt to serve at least a year before marrying anyone. But everything happened so fast that she didn’t get the time to even oppose anything.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Alex on the other hand is very happy and excited as his grandmother fixed the date quickly. He knew that Clara is his girl and he doesn’t want to stay away from her anymore. He touched the golden embellished groom dress which is specially designed by Frank from his fashion house.

“Dad, thank you” he hugged Frank with all smiles.

“I have never expressed how much I love you. But you know right? I can’t imagine anything without you” Alex became emotional all of a sudden. Maybe it’s marriage nervousness.

“I don’t know dad if I will be able to be like you as to how you treat and love mom. But I will try” Alex mumbled as Frank smiled.

“Don’t strain too much. Just be the way you are. There is nothing more powerful than originality. She will accept you with all flaws” Frank hugged him to comfort him.

“And by the way, Jenny. We will be free from today” Frank came to his original version making Alex roll his eyes.

“Excuse me. Your work will be doubled. I mean till now you both have taken care of me alone. But now you have to take care of me with my sweetheart too” Alex explained seriously.

“Oh my kindergarten kid, you both will be out of this home so that we can have some privacy” Frank spoke, crossing his arms.

“Mom, look at him. He is teasing me even on my happiest day” Alex whined making Jenny slap Frank playfully.

Clara did her final touch up but still, she is not satisfied with her looks. She checked herself for the ninth time and gave a disappointed look and cursed Alina for being this late for today. Is she again fighting with Edward?

She looked at her finger which is empty but soon will be filled with the family ring which all married girls would wear. The thought made her blush.

“Wow, you are ready already?” Alina came inside while Clara straightened herself from all the thoughts.

“Yeah. I have to work hard too. I should be the one glowing like a diamond. But I am scared. What if everyone mistakes you as a bride?” Clara asked seriously, eyeing Alina from top to bottom. No wonder she is looking like a goddess who has made a trip to the earth. Her pearl set which matches her purple barbie dress adds further glow to her looks. No words to praise her hair which is perfectly braided on one side as she left it open on the other side. The natural smile she always carries is all enough to make all men get on their knees.

Alina blushed at her friend’s compliment.

“Why didn’t you think that it’s my marriage, not yours? I won’t share my screen with you” Clara pouted and turned away. She is not jealous but a little nervous about everything and it’s her nature to express it with something else which is not her concern. Alina can always see what Clara is feeling and what she is nervous about?

“No one can be better than my doll today. You are the best” Alina hugged Clara from behind. Clara glared at herself and sighed tiredly. She knew that something is not perfect with her today and she doesn’t know what exactly. She is glowing for sure but she wanted to have some spark that is missing today. She was shining like a princess even at Alina’s wedding but what happened today? Maybe her nervousness is ruining her image and her worries hiding those sparks. Adding to those, she doesn’t like the big antique set she is wearing. She has no choice though.

Alina made her sit in front of the dressing table and in no seconds she removed those antique jewels making Clara widen her eyes. How can Alina know about thoughts every time? But what will she wear if not those?

Alina took a big box which has a ruby set with maroon coloured pearls hanging on the border. Clara looked at the neckpiece and knew that it could be the perfect match for her dress.

“Alina. Stop it. I don’t need this.” Clara stopped her from wearing those. Whatever may be, she will wear those which her pops bought for her. Even though it does not match, she knew how much emotions were connected to those.

“It’s not Alina’s gift. It’s mine” Ron came inside with a proud smile. Clara is shocked by his words. They are not poor but definitely not rich enough to buy such things all of a sudden.

“When you were born, I have been saving money, especially for this special day. I have always wanted to see you in such luxury dress and jewels.” Ron explained how he saved money only to buy such a thing for her. Clara didn’t know how to express her emotions right at the moment. She hugged her pops and tears rolled down her cheeks.

“By the way, Doll. I know that I am your best best best friend but I can’t give you something like this. How can you expect such an expensive gift from me?” Alina asked with a pout as Clara giggled at her.

“Even if you just congratulate me, it would be special. You know that right?” Clara asked, batting her eyelids, making Alina smile broadly with her words.

“Indeed you are right. Today you have my beautiful hand as a gift to congratulate you” Alina replied, making Clara widen her eyes.

“If you didn’t give me anything, I will ask everyone to serve you, not even water,” Clara screamed with a large pout. Ron smiled at the duo and left the place for them to get ready.

Alina made her sit again and helped her with the jewellery. She even removed those makeup which is nice but not best for her for this special day. Alina is the best at everything to choose for Clara. She took the dark maroon shade for lipstick while taking the peach colour for eye shadow. She didn’t overdo anything and left the cheeks to have a natural blush rather than using anything.

Alina is very excited to see how Alex would react to seeing Clara today. She is very proud of herself for transforming Clara into this beautiful angel. Clara lifted her eyes and was amazed to see how she is looking now.

“Wow, Ani. Wow. This is what I want” Clara hugged Alina happily.

“Guess you liked my gift. Now don’t ask for anything else.” Alina shrugged it off casually.

“This is your duty. And about gifts. Be sure to give something unique or else I will kill you” Clara threatened and both burst into laughter as a result of their funny fight.

Their fun moment halted when they heard a horn sound with heavy drum music from outside. Clara could feel her heartbeat out of her body. Is it audible to everyone around her?

“Relax Doll. Don’t be nervous and spoil your special day. Just be excited and smile to the fullest” Alina suggested to her and Clara knew that she would regret it later if she didn’t enjoy this moment. Taking a deep breath, she came with Alina to the balcony to see everyone from there.

The drum music got louder and deeper as she lifted her eyes to see the crowd. Soon her eyes widened as her stare fell behind the crowd. Alina hoped to see the cause of the shock and she too gets shocked seeing them.
