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 to be hurt in this path. Alina caressed her head to soothe her pain.A knock on the door startled both as Alina opened the door."Why the hell did you bring him here?" Alina yelled at her husband who returned to the home with his friends, more to be precise, Alex and a few more. "He was feeling a little low and I thought we should spend time together." Edward reasoned.Alex stood there opposite Clara while she gave him a bored and lazy stare. Can her day be worse than this? "Ani, I should leave now. You guys carry on" Clara took her purse while Alex blocked her way instantly but Alina grabbed her. "You are not going anywhere. I have already messaged aunty that you are staying here." Alina grabbed her in a corner."Doll, let's just ignore them and stay in our room, please. I can't leave you when you are in this state." Alina pleaded with her as Clara let out a deep sigh. She looked at Alex again and realised his stare over her already. Can he just turn his gaze?Clara sat inside the room and was hearing their conversation. Alex purposefully laughed and played with his friends loudly to piss her off. "Doll. Please don't get angry. They have come here earlier also. But Alex has never been like this. Today I don't know why they are enjoying this much?" Alina saw how Clara was fisting her hand. As far as she knew about her, Clara would now smash everyone's head and walk past them for sure. "He is also suffering a lot without you, doll" Alina voiced out painfully, wanting badly to make Clara understand. But she smiled sarcastically at her. "I didn't leave him," Clara replied in a sad tone and she stood up instantly. Looking at how he is dancing and singing, Clara felt her blood boil. She doesn't want him to smile after what he did to her. The least which could satisfy her would be his suffering. Everyone went silent when they saw Clara entering the room crossing her arms. But Alex didn't stop his dance as he was involved in the song so much."Alex" Edward tried to call him but went in vain.Clara took the music player which was very loud and it's causing her migraine. She didn't think twice about breaking it into pieces. Everyone was baffled by her sudden actions. She can do anything but this? Alex turned and was shocked to see the player on the floor. He looked at Clara who didn't show any regret on her face."Edward, I am sorry that I broke this. I will buy you a brand new one tomorrow." Clara replied calmly."Guys it's not wrong to party. But you have some audience here and they can be disturbed by your nonsense. Can you all keep it low?" Clara asked politely as all the friends nodded positively like an obedient kid. Clara walked back to her room without minding anything. Alex followed her instantly and dashed the door behind so that no one interfered with their conversation. Edward and Alina stood there helpless. They thought that if they meet again, there would be little possibility of them sorting out everything but both are very adamant and immature."Why do I feel that you are jealous to see me happy?" Alex asked, grabbing her to a corner. Clara looked at him without even blinking. "If you are happy, it's good for you. If you are acting to be happy, that is up to you. Don't give too much importance to yourself. I don't have even a percentage of interest to know what you are up to?" Clara replied with an arrogant, dripping tone. "But do you know what? Damn my eyes which can see the facade you are putting on and I feel happy to see you in pain." She replied in his ears. Alex felt rage with her words. Anger that he couldn't mask his emotions. Anger that she spoke about the fact. Anger that she is okay with it. "By the way, it would not be hell for me but for you, only" She added with a smirk. Clara became hysterical to see him fumes. She gets satisfied to see him broken. "Don't cross your limits, Clara" Alex gripped her shoulders harshly but she didn't even flinch once to show her weakness. Alex didn't realise his harsh grip till he saw tears in her eyes. But still, she was smirking at him as if challenging him to do more. He released his hands at once and regretted doing so when he noticed her red arms. He has never hurt anyone like this. Why is she provoking him like this?He loved her like anything and he has never done anything to hurt her. But she caused undying pain to him. Even after that, she is not regretting her actions. Instead, she feels proud of it. On the other hand, Clara has suffered a lot and he has no clue about it. She wants him to have a miserable life just like how she had because of him. The love she had for him died at the moment he asked her to get out of his life. He had no right to do that. Both were staring at each other as if complaining about each other through their eyes. The song from the hall broke their thoughts as both looked at the door side. The same song for which they danced together when they met for the second time after their Goa trip. They both came to the hall. Edward and Alina smiled at each other and played their marriage video on the projector. Clara and Alex felt all emotional at once when they gazed at that video. It was as if it had happened the previous day. Clara could feel her heartbeat the same way when it was beaten on that day. The same excitement, the same happiness.Flashback:Alina Edward Marriage."Doll, you are looking just like an angel" Clara took some kajal from her eyes to put behind Alina's ears to cast away evil eyes. Alina giggled at her old customs which were followed by her grandma who was from India. "I am happy that I am marrying him today. But grandma is not well and because of which they are urging this marriage so that she could see my marriage" Alina mumbled in her sad voice. She loves her grandma like hell and was worried for her well-being. "Our Granny is very tough. She will jump in a few days and she can't get sick easily. I have checked her reports. It's just because of her age. Her willpower is something we can never imagine. So chill and enjoy today" Clara hugged her friend who feels low and is not in the mood to enjoy.Clara is constantly checking outside to see if the groom's family has arrived or not. She is kinda excited to see that hot man with long hair. Her stomach twisted, making her realise that they had arrived already. The loud music was echoing all around. The marriage is designed as per grandma's wish. A perfect loud marriage to make a memory on their brain system for long. In short a perfect indian marriage.She ran towards the entrance not to welcome the groom but to see if Alex was there or not. Be it just an infatuation, but she knew that she is getting attracted to that long-haired hot man for sure.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
"How can I miss such a girl who knew me barely but trusts me unconditionally? You are special to me. I am happy that I have fallen for you." Alex's words sent a shiver to her whole body. She widened her eyes when she realised that how could she agree to it? Why didn't she think that he could lie? Did she believe his words instantly? Did she start trusting him already?"Congratulations Mr Smith for your success." One of the guests shook his hands with Frank Smith and now Clara could understand how she felt familiar with that face. He must be Alex's father. Frank walked towards Clara as she gets tensed with his presence. He kept his hand over her head in the gesture of blessings."I am glad that my son chose such a prettiest doll. You are not just beautiful by appearance but from the heart. I can see the genuineness in your eyes." Frank commented honestly as Clara lowered her eyes in response. "I thought he would come with some random girl or even a guy. But I must say that you are p
