Meeting each other was a mess and their memory was fresh as if it happened the previous day.
Clara clutched her heart as if it was paining externally. She swallowed the tablets so that she doesn't get a panic attack again."Why did he come this way?" She mumbled gazing at the stars. He knew that it was her home and was sure that he would avoid even coming across her. Alex twisted and turned, struggling hard to sleep. He sat across his bed with anger."She doesn't matter to me anymore. I don't care about her." He screamed as if he was consoling himself. He threw the side lamp in anger. "I won't forgive you, Clara" he mumbled as tears rolled down his cheeks. He closed his eyes to erase the pain but more tears made their way."I won't forgive you, Alex" Clara mumbled as she closed her eyes to release a few drops of tears. ******"It's just for a few months. You will have to take care of two elder people for a full day. I have mailed their medical reports to you." The Dean instructed Clara while she listened to everything. "For these seven months, you will be given a salary from the hospital too. So I hope you take extra care of everything." The dean shook her hand and left the place. Clara sighed along. The main thing she wanted is that she will be paid by both parties and it would help her to pay off her loan which her father took for her education. "All the best" her colleagues wished her and gave her some gifts to congratulate her. Clara climbed up the car which was sent by the person who has appointed her as a personal doctor for his parents. Clara knew one thing for sure that the person must be super-rich and she mentally noted down to trim her attitude. She got down and took a deep breath before entering the home."First day" she messages her friend Alina with a smile."All the best, Doll" she read the reply to Alina. She has been waiting for half an hour and no one came to welcome her or say anything related to her job. The more she waited, the more she got pissed off. She just wanted to smash the head once he came. She shut her eyes to calm down her nerves. "Hello, sir, no one is here. Some servant came and asked me to wait half an hour before. And I am sitting here all alone in this hall" Clara tried not to sound rude but her resentment is spitting in her tone. "Let me call him and ask about it." The dean replied, scuffing his head. He knew about Clara's temper and prayed hard that she doesn't mess it up. It's a great opportunity for her. Clara stood up and kept her phone inside. She turned abruptly to leave the home but got slapped over her forehead with something as she missed her balance. Clara closed her eyes tightly expecting a heavy fall. She opened her eyes slowly realizing that someone saved her from the fall.There, he is again.Standing too close to her. Her heart twisted and made her weak by beating fast. Her eyes did give shocked when she saw him too close to her. She shivered when she felt his grip over her waist. But she is too shocked to even shrug off his hands. Alex carefully grabbed her waist close to his side as he was studying her expressions inch by inch. She still holds that innocence in her eyes and he is still drawn towards her with that innocence. He knew that he should leave her but both stood there in the same position till they heard some sound behind. Clara takes a few steps behind still in the same shock."Doctor?" An elderly lady asked in a heavy tone as both shifted their eyes to her side."Aunt, relax" Alex tried to calm down her aunty, Shreya. But she showed her palm towards Alex."I don't want this girl to take care of my brother and sister-in-law. Ask her to get out right now" Shreya yelled as tears pooled up in Clara's eyes. She didn't expect such harshness from Shreya's side for sure. Moreover, is it for uncle and aunty? She wants to see them. She wanted to check if they are fine or not. Will Sid allow her to see his parents?"Get out" Shreya again yelled but Alex grabbed her to the room leaving Clara behind. On one side she wanted this job badly, on another side, she might be able to take care of those people who were once her world. "Didn't you go?" Alex asked, jerking her from her position. She looked at him as if deer were caught in the rain. She wanted to snap at him or show the change in her attitude but she couldn't form any words right at that moment and her tears rolled down her cheeks continuously.Alex took his eyes away from her side, not able to see her tears. "Don't tell me that you plan to come here even after knowing that it's my place?" Alex asked with a smirk blowing her ego. She wiped down her tears hardly as she looked at him with fire eyes. "Don't tell me that you appointed me without knowing that it's me." She snapped at him and crossed her arms in a dominating way taking him by surprise. She is always this fierce but never does he notice her snapping like that. "What's your plan? Just to insult me you have appointed me and are now asking me to leave the job?" She asked glaring directly at him. She didn't expect that their first meeting would be like this after a long gap. Both expected a soft change in their heart but realized that the hatred filled their orbs way more than expected."I was appointed by my hospital. I won't leave till I get confirmation from their end" Clara sat there crossing her legs. Alex took his phone without taking his eyes from her side."I don't need your doctor here. Can you select another one?" Alex spoke to the dean. Clara felt powerless right at that moment. She wanted to grab this at any cost but what can she do? "You may leave now and talk to your dean" Alex replied harshly as he opened the door for her to leave. Clara walked slowly and grabbed the door from his hands. Alex didn't expect this act from her side. She pulled his collar suddenly and locked him in the corner in a swift movement. "Why do I feel that I am still affecting you and you are running away from me?" She whispered extremely close to his ears and he felt helpless all of a sudden. He can just shrug it off but he lets her do anything with him. "If that's the case, I should leave from here for sure. Because you have no place in my life or my heart. I don't want to give hope" She replied sassily as her breath touched his cheeks. Damn his heart which went numb with her proximity. He didn't even react to her words even though he could hear everything. "Goodbye, Mr. Smith" Clara left his side and that's when he released his breath. Before he could process the happenings, she left the home. Alex closed his eyes helplessly. How can he act like that in front of her? How dare she dominates him like this?She did wrong to wake up his dark side for sure. With no second thoughts, he pressed a send button to send a letter mail to the hospital administration. "Too bad, Miss Taylor. Welcome to hell" he typed the message and sent it to her number.It's been one hour since Clara sat there. Alina came to her side with a cup of hot coffee. She looked at the message sent by Alex again and again. She is happy that he didn't fire her but at the same time, will she be able to work in his home? She has suffered a lot to overcome the suffering. Is she ready to go through that journey again?"Doll, are you alright?" Alina cupped her cheeks as Clara kept her head over her shoulders. "I am tired, Alina. Exhausted from everything. I just want to sleep." Clara's words held so much pain that they pained Alina like hell. "Did you meet him again?" Alina asked after a couple of minutes as she calculated everything. Clara didn't reply to her, instead a tear rolled down her cheeks making Alina sigh tiredly. What the hell happened between them was always a mystery to her. Neither Clara Nor Alex spoke about it. "He is my new boss." That was news to Alina. In a way, she is excited to see the new turns in her friend's life but she doesn't want her
Flashback continuesAlina and Clara are like sisters more than friends. Their family also treats them the same. Clara took the place of the bride's sister as she welcomed the guest. Alina started her final touch-up to look like an angel in the real sense. Clara offered flowers to everyone and stopped Edward to enter the venue, making them all confused by her actions."I guess, I can't allow you inside till I get something in return" Clara winked at Edward. Edward bends to her height and whispers "what would you love to get as a gift?" She smiled at his gesture. He is indeed a soft and cute guy. Alina is lucky to have him. He has no ego nor any superior thing in him despite being super-rich."Oops. Just wanna grab you and run away from here. But what to do? It's my sister's life." Clara faked her fainting making all giggle at her flirty comment. Edward did like Clara's naughtiness. Clara is perfect to be Alina's sister and he loved her company a lot."That sounds like a good deal. Wh
Promise is meant to be fulfilled by both the parties. But here, Alex is wondering why she meant as if he didn't fulfill any of those. And Clara on the other hand doesn't want to leave any single opportunity to taunt him for turning his back on her.As she left the home, Alex followed her instantly to make sure she was safe till home. But the heaviness in her heart is little more that made her run away instantly and he lost her in the middle of the road.Alex is scared now as he couldn't find her anywhere. Where the hell did she go? He ran towards the left lane to see if she had gone there or not. The silent street made it possible to give him some sound. Hearing that he knew that it's her anklet sound. She is still wearing those anklets which he has gifted her for her birthday. He ran towards the sound and saw her hiding behind a pillar.He looked here and there to see why she is scared and what is she scared of? His lips curved up automatically when he noticed the black dogs on the
Flashback continuesOne whole month is not at all enough for Alex to forget about that little meeting. He entered his home absentmindedly, receiving a gasp from his parent's side."Is it our Son?" His mom gasped dramatically whereas his father stood there in full attacking mode "It's our home, not any club. Where were you for one month?" Frank Smith asked, crossing his arms in a dominating way. Alex rolled his eyes and went straight to his room without even replying to his mom or dad. Alex laid down in his bed staring at the stars which he had on his room's wall. It was glittering beautifully. Suddenly Clara's face popped up from those stars making him jerk up from his bed. Damn this girl is not at all leaving his mind and soul. What is happening to him? But do these things happen in films? Is he dreaming of day time also? It was literally a graphics dream. He scratched his head with a bored smile. She has a magic smile for sure and it has a magnetic effect on him. His phone beeped
Getting ready for college on Saturday is the worst thing in our life and that's when we imagine that to be a holiday. A last-minute program in the college and it's important to attend.Clara's phone rang, diverting her attention from the mirror. She attends the call with one hand while combing her hair with the other hand."Still dreaming about someone or getting ready for college?" Alina,,'s words made Clara roll her eyes. Should she ask this in the early morning? But isn't it the fact too? She is getting ready but her thoughts are not anymore under her control. "Shut up doll and I am not at all dreaming. I am shocked that I saw him yesterday at the station and that's why I told you about it. Teasing me for this small matter is not right" Clara replied, having a pout. Alina laughed at her words, making her confused. "You didn't just tell me about it normally. You called me at midnight to share this small matter even without realizing what I would be doing. You have disturbed the ne
Sunday and Monday went by in a blink and Clara and Alex didn't meet each other. She took her beautiful dress and got ready for college with curiosity. She doesn't want to explain why she is excited but she knows that she feels something new and she likes it. She took her white coat and caressed it with so much love. Waving goodbye to her mom and dad, Clara left the home with a sandwich in her hand."He didn't come today?" Rita, Clara's friend, is disappointed. Clara let out a sigh and peeped out to see the same spot where Alex would always stand."That's good," Clara commented when she found out that he was not there. Maybe he was just teasing her the previous day. Clara should take her focus away from him for sure.Clara found someone staring at her from the left side. She turned and widened her eyes when she noticed Alex standing there in his unique style. "Omg, he is there, Clara" thanks to her friends who screamed audibly to Alex. Alex smiled hearing that and Clara slapped hersel
Clara kept her phone on speakers and cupped her cheeks listening to Edward and Alina's fights. They didn't even bother to tell Clara about the reason. Clara was asking them about the reason. But they are busy pointing at each other's faults. "He cheated me. '' Alina pouted and looked away from Edward's side. "She is expecting too much." Edward threw up his hands in frustration. Clara felt it was too cute. They are fighting but they look so adorable all the time. Would she and Alex be like this in the future? The thought made her widen her eyes. Did she just think about it? Clara closed her eyes tightly and let her thoughts wash away. "What's the matter?" Clara asked, shrugging off her thoughts. Edward and Alina started explaining the matter which happened in the morning.Flashback: Morning.Alina walked towards Edward in her light pink gown. She has done minimal makeup and looks like an angel. "Eddy" she whispered near his ears but he is engrossed in sending some emails to his cl
Clara dressed up in a black and yellow suit. She checked the mobile phone for the nth time to check if she got the message or not. She smiled when she got the message. She decided that she will end everything today and would never think about that guy anymore. It's not at all tough for her to track down his location as she saw her classmate's brother with Alex. She took her bag and left the home early so that she could sort everything out before walking to the college. Alex stood up from his seat when he noticed Clara walking towards his side. Is she here for real? He expressed his dimpled smile as he walked towards her side."Guess you don't have any job rather than running behind girls, right?" Clara asked with a little smirk when Alex stood in front of her."Jealous?" Alex asked, bending to her height. Damn her heart which reacts to his words. "Don't worry, I won't run behind any girl other than you" he added with a charming smile. Clara rolled her eyes at his words. "Listen, I
