Enchanted Love

A few days ago exactly on the evening of the engagement day.

Alex pulled her fingers one by one to relieve the stress and she loved the way he was doing it.

“I don’t know anything about your likes and dislikes. If you ever wish to get a gift from your would-be husband, what would you love to get?” Alex directly asks as he genuinely wants to give her something but has no idea of what he should buy.

“Is it not necessary for you to find it out by yourself?” Clara asked, taking back her fingers from his hand.

“My one stare is all enough for you to get impressed. But still, I am making efforts to give you something more” Alex replied, pulling her fingers again. He pulled the remaining fingers to get them relaxed.

“Clara is a little expensive. You can’t just give me anything cheaper. It should be at least as expensive as a BMW.” Clara pulled her imaginary collar and sighed dreaming of her dream car. She always dreams of buying a BMW. But it is just her unfulfilled dream. She can save and buy that after 20 years and so.

“Omg. That’s too much. I guess I should drop the idea of giving you anything.” Alex said, making her laugh with his words.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“On a serious note. I am happy that you think of giving me. I don’t need anything. Just a promise that we should be the same till the end of our lives” Clara replied, shuffling his hair, making him annoyed. He is very sweet until someone touches his hair and she knows that very well.

Clara clutched her golden dress as her eyes widened in shock seeing the red coloured BMW car. Did he take her talks seriously?

The drums started beating louder as the backside door opened. Alex came outside with his signature smile making her heart go crazy.

He did SPA to his hair. Why does it have to fly like a feather? Clara is lost in his eyes and a tear travels from her eyes. He is surely a prince charming for her.

He winked at her once he saw her. He smiled seeing how much she was glowing. She didn’t do any bridal make up which he would obviously hate in every marriage. He loved the way she got ready keeping his likes in mind. She blushed and lowered her eyes as soon as she felt his hot gaze over her.

“Can you stare at her later? We should reach the temple to finish the ritual first!” Frank whispered in his ears, making him roll his eyes. His dad should be named a bear who always likes to spoil his romantic moments.

“By the way, I can hear the nickname you just gave me,” Frank added with a frown.

The entire journey was silent. Alex frowned seeing how mad his family was. His dad knew that he wanted to talk to Clara at least for five seconds but he purposefully made Clara busy all time and did not even let them look at each other.

“My son will not be mine anymore” Jenny exclaimed as Alex rolled his eyes at the next drama his mom and dad were planning.

“But I will be getting one daughter for free” Frank exclaimed as he pats Clara’s head lovingly. Even though Alex was irritated with their dramatic talks, he felt so cute to see Frank and Clara sharing a unique bond.

“Yeah, in that case, I would be your son in law,” Alex replied with a smile.

“Of course. If you ever try to hurt her, I will skin you alive” Frank replied, showing his fist. Clara didn’t lift her eyes as she felt overwhelmed with their love for her. She didn’t expect them to be so sweet and cute toward her.

She felt her tears travel down as Alex wiped them instantly, startling her.

“This has no work” He spoke to the tears.

“But I can’t guarantee it for you,” she replied, making everyone laugh at her comment and his face.

Alex slowly took her hand in-between making her widen her eyes. She didn’t dare to see if anyone was noticing. But she could feel that he doesn’t care about it though. Frank and Jenny shifted their gaze so that they could feel relaxed and enjoy their time before marriage. The way to the church ended with laughing and blushing.

Clara and Alex entered the church with the same excitement and nervousness. The priest started reciting his magical words to start the ritual followed by Alina bringing a garland for them. A old custom of changing garland before they take vows of marriage.

Alex made her wear the garland as she blushed so hard. Thank God Alina didn’t use any blush colour. If so, it would be visible. When it was Clara’s turn, Edward and Vicky lifted Alex, making her gape at him.

“That’s cheating” Alina yelled but Edward is in no mood to listen to her. Clara starts trying to win this little game but she couldn’t do so as Edward and Vicky are not pitying her state at all.

“Brother. Is this how you pay back me for letting you marry Alina?” Clara asked pouting a little, making Edward’s grip loosen Alex.

“Brother?” Alex gasped but Edward and Clara were busy staring at each other with so many emotions making him mad at them. How did they become close in the first place?

Before Edward could help his new sister, Frank came and lifted Clara along with Ron where Alex pouted visibly. His family members are not his aide anymore. Clara finished her side of the ritual with a broad smile.

The priest started reading the vows and both Alex and Clara recited them after him to complete the ritual.

Each and every vow they uttered with the most honesty and decided to follow them till their last breath.

After reciting the vows, they were declared married making their hearts flutter with a new feeling. Will they be able to hold this big responsibility? Will they make their parents proud to give their love a chance?

Alex pulled her for a hug realising her confusion. He conveyed to her that he would make every wish of her into reality.

“You can leave her now. There is no ritual for this.”  The priest mumbled with a hint of humour making everyone laugh.

“At least let her breathe,” Edward added.

“If breathing is the problem, should I help?” Alex asked which is audible to Edward and Clara. She widened her eyes and looked around to check if anyone heard him or not.

“Wow. Did you open a cycle business also? Do you have an air pump?” Edward asked to play along with Alex.

“Yeah. I have a special pump which is exclusive for Clara only.” Alex replies and Clara wishes to smash his head for uttering such shameless words which is making her weak every second.

“Can you both stop teasing my doll?” Alina came to save Clara. Alex and Edward laughed out loudly as they high-fived each other.

“Now time for kiss” everyone exclaimed as they reached their favorite part of the marriage. Clara is the one who hated it the most. She is too shy to even have a look at her husband and just forget about kissing him. Alex gently pulled her closer and she didn’t even open her eyes to embarrass herself. Alex smiled at her reactions. She is too cute for this. He gently pecked her so as to not make her more nervous. Everyone could see his concern for her as they clapped for them.
