Enchanted Love

Flashback continues

It’s been 48 hours. I didn’t call Mira or Clara. I messaged Clara briefly about Mira’s mom being angry. I guess she comes here quickly and sorts this out. I didn’t even go back to my home. I felt so tired to even think about worries now.

I decided to go and meet mom today all of a sudden. Due to these busy schedules, I could barely take time to spend with them. Today I will be with them only.

After parking the bike, I felt some familiar scent. Is someone here? Maybe Clara? Her strawberry shampoo smell is very strong and I don’t know how I can smell it instantly even if it’s very mild.

Did she come here? What if Mira’s mom is here? As far as I knew, she must be here only as she fought with Mira. What would happen now? I rubbed my hair out of frustration. Before I could clean up their misunderstanding, I just hope they don’t fight. I can’t stand if anyone misunderstands Clara. They should know how cute and genuine Clara is. Mira should know that first. I can’t imagine them being on opposite sides. If it happens, I can’t even choose any side.

As I neared the entrance, my heart thumped fast hearing loud noise from inside. Did they meet already? I could hear Clara’s voice too. Why didn’t she inform me that she is coming here? I could feel my rage reaching its point but I should be calm now so that I can handle things inside.

I stood there and watched them arguing over something. To my shock, Clara was screaming at Mira and her mom.

“Hell with your daughter. She is the reason for my miseries” Clara’s words ringed my ears as I froze there completely. What does it even mean? Okay! That’s not nice now. I halted there to hear more from her as my blood rushed through every vein of my body.

“If there is even a fight between me and Alex, it is because of her only.” Clara has no control over her words but Mira’s mom stood there paralysed. She looked ashamed to even look at Clara. I noticed her frame and wanted to stop Clara there but she was in full force.

“If you want to help me, can you get your daughter away from here, please?” Clara is all exhausted now. She collapsed over the floor crying her heart out.

The thing which broke me completely is Clara knew everything and felt insecure. Damn insecure. She has no trust in me. Does she think that we fought because of Mira?

Moreover, she messaged Mira’s mom. Seriously? I have shared everything with her about Mira’s family and how I care about her. It’s not that I haven’t shared anything with Clara. She should have trusted me. I felt like a failure as a husband all of a sudden. Why did it turn out like this?

The way she spoke to Mira and her mom, made me shocked. She was not like this. Her choice of words and her behaviour is very new and I am not angry now but hurt deeply. I swallowed my lumps as I dragged my foot inside to let them know of my arrival.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alex, didn’t you tell me that she can never do this?” Mira was crying continuously for three days and her face lost all its colours. Thanks to my wife.

“She just told me that she was the one,” Mira added with a loud sniffle.

“Alex” I heard Clara’s soft voice. Where did this soft voice go just two minutes back? I looked at her and I didn’t know what I should tell her.

“Why did you do this?” I asked with no rage in my voice as I don’t want to be angry. I want to show her that I am disappointed and hurt with her. She took a few steps back when I asked her. Maybe she didn’t expect me to ask this.

“You should have talked about it to me” I added as tears flowed down from both of our eyes. My heart didn’t feel this weight even when we had a long argument that day. Because it was an argument and we knew that everything would be fine after that. But now, she didn’t trust me enough to share this with me. And it broke me completely. She made such a mistake which is not expected from my Jaan.

There was utter silence in the hall. Mira’s soft cries were heard all over but I looked at Clara who was also staring blankly at me.

“She could have at least told me that she is feeling insecure. I would have left this place and Alex. Why did you make such a scene? Did you even know that my dad stopped talking to me? He thinks that I am breaking your home and that’s what you made me now, a home wrecker. I have never intended to even come in between you two” Mira screamed as she grabbed Clara harshly. But Clara was just staring at me, maybe wanting me to stop Mira. But right now, I feel nothing. This is not a small matter. Clara has demeaned a girl who hasn’t done anything wrong other than loving me. I can’t support her in this.

“I didn’t expect this from you.” I turned and left the place instantly with a heavy heart. I didn’t want to look at her face, not at least now when I am hell angry. I know that I would hurt her with my words. But will I be able to be normal with her? She didn’t trust our love or relationship. That was huge for me. I need some alone time now.

I gulped the pain deep inside. The fact that Clara hid such a high thing, is not at all digested. I knew that it’s been hours since I sat here all alone. Mira is hurt. She is broke. The reason is no one but me. I have not many friends but many many many. But only a few people are so close to me and I will do anything for them. Mira is number one on this list. I care for her like anything. The best part is Clara knew this. She knew everything and still did everything to make her life miserable.

I took my wallet and saw Clara’s pic. She was smiling like an angel.

“Why did you do this? You could have shared with me about your fear! Don’t you have enough trust?” I emptied my heart as tears flowed down my cheeks burning their way. The other side of the wallet had my dad and mom’s pic. Yes, they can solve this. I don’t know if I can forgive Clara for this ever.

“Alex” Mira’s sound echoed all around. I don’t want to meet her right now. The more I see her miserable state, the more I get angry with Clara. Please, Mira. Don’t look for me now.

“Your wife has crossed her limits now. I will kill her” Mira screamed as she entered my home in a rage. I grabbed her to calm her down.

“She didn’t get satisfied by defaming me in front of my mom. She even said” Mira’s words broke as she cried more. Why do girls have to cry this much? I know it’s hard. But tears are not a solution. Moreover, I hate to see her cry.

“What happened, Mira?” I asked as I made her sit down. She was wiping her tears and closed her face again with her palm. Damn, she has never cried so much like this.

“She has sent a picture of my diary to your family chat group. Aunty Shreya called me and asked about it. I have never thought that I would regret loving you.” The moment she spoke, I didn’t have anything left to get shocked again. I am exhausted. I took my mobile and wished that whatever she said was not true.

But today is full of surprises and shocks. I saw Clara’s message in our group where everyone even replied to her asking about it.

Soon my phone call started ringing from my aunties, uncles, and everyone in the family. I didn’t attend any calls as I made it to silent mode. I went inside the kitchen to prepare coffee for her. She looked too weary and I am sure she wouldn’t have had anything for two days.

“It’s not like that, aunty” Mira was pleading with someone. I went to see that she was on my phone. And by the look itself I could say that its Sherya aunt.

“Why did you attend my call? Switch it off” I commented and went inside again. The day doesn’t seem to end any soon. Clara, why did you have to do this? I don’t know what made her do this? My patience level dropped as minutes passed by. One thing is pretty clear now we can never have the same equation as before. Can we?
