Enchanted Love

It’s been a week since they started living in the home. Clara decorated her home with full passion and full enthusiasm. A single sofa that filled the hall looked elegant and beautiful. As mentioned, the other room was partitioned into two and both have set their things up there. As for their bedroom, Clara is very special about it. She doesn’t want to fill the room with any type of furniture but has filled the walls with pictures which is her favourite.

“So, our vacation is coming to an end. I am resuming college.” Clara stated sadly. She wants to be with him and wants to enjoy her afternoons when they both cooked together.

“Even everything is set for my project. I have to join as soon as possible. My friends have started their work already” Alex is very excited to do that. He wants to finish the job quickly so that he could join his father’s business which would make them happy for sure.

“My friends will tease me tomorrow. I just hate to go there” Clara voiced out as she snuggled in his arms. She doesn’t like teasing among friends. But her friends care least about it. They have already planned to ask tons of questions about her married life and Alex.

“Friends are meant to annoy us,” Alex replied, showing how much he loves that particular thing.

“Which I always hate.” Clara is annoyed as he laughs at her. She looked like a cute kid whenever she complained.

After a small conversation, both drifted to sleep as they had planned everything for the next day.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Clara stretched herself and with a smile, she turned to her left side to pull Alex for a hug but got a pillow instead. She opened her eyes wider and jumped over her bed seeing Alex near her legs as if he was holding her toes. Carefully making him sleep, she stood up and started her work. She wanted to be quick so that she could leave early for college.

She holds the tray that has cheese sandwiches with coffee. She caressed his cheeks as he twitched and turned in his sleep.

“Sun is burning like hell. Can you open your eyes?” Clara asked and kept the tray aside to shake him a little. Before she could wake him more, she found herself behind him as he climbed over her. He tucked her hair to have a look at her milky cheeks which had turned pink with his touch naturally.

“Wow,” he mumbled looking at her. She had already gotten ready for her college and picked his favourite dress for herself. The one which she wore when she met him for the first time. Her simple make-up and her cute earrings provoked him more.

“Are you ready to bear the consequences for instigating me?” Alex asked as he closed the gap between their lips giving an inch gap for her to reply first.

“When did I even instigate?” She was not able to understand the reason.

“I have always warned you not to wear pink coloured lipstick. You always forget that” Even though she heard this dialogue like thousand times, she still couldn’t get over it and hed face was flushed fully making him chuckle at her. Her little shyness filled stare is something that Alex craves the most.

“Should I forget that?” She asked in her low tiny voice as he widened his eyes hearing her bold reply.

“Somebody is in a romantic mood today?” Alex asked as he pulled her to his side more, making her face flush hard.

“Is romance your trademark?” Before she could mock him, he gently claimed her lips and soon her eyes closed in reflex. She is too cute whenever she gets too shy even to look at his side.

“Coffee tastes good only when it is hot” Clara mocked him as she stood up to give him.

“I am too hot even to heat the cold coffee” he replied with a wide grin making her roll her eyes.

Marriage is just awesome. Clara always felt it was too burdensome and she doesn’t want to get married to anyone. But her perception has changed totally with Alex. He is too sweet to handle. Handling her college at home is surely a hell of a task. But Alex never made it difficult for her. Instead, he always helps her with almost everything. The only thing Clara hayes with Alex is the little arguments they have on almost everything which he enjoys the most. Even though it helps them to grow closer, Clara doesn’t feel secure fighting with him. Alex, being Alex, ends every fight in his charming romantic way.

They enjoy everything right from the unique way where Clara wakes him up trying almost every childish antic that obviously ends up by Alex holding the upper hand. The best part is that Alex always consoles her whenever she gets mad. Even though she wants him to change some annoying habits of his, she lets it go as he is too cute in consoling her. She felt like a princess in a fairy tale who gets married to a charming prince.

They spend their weekend on their way as Alex ignores all his work and is with her full day. A small walk with her and a long ride on his bike made their day always. A little date is needed the most to understand each other more. Alex loved the way she made him feel good. She tried to change her annoyed self only to make him happy. He respects her nature and doesn’t want her to change anything. But she always makes efforts to make this marriage a beautiful one.

Alex started his new BMW and dropped Clara to his college. Clara hates whenever he insists on dropping her off. She glared at those girls who were ready to eat Alex with their eyes. But his eyes were on her only. Still, she doesn’t like whenever any girl stares at her husband.

Alex entered his home where his friends had already started their work. Clara didn’t like it when Alex made a small office in their home. But she doesn’t want to be a nagging wife and hasn’t shared her displeasure towards it.  Alex’s work is already mid way and he needs to prepare a report regarding its progress to his client. He is hell busy in that to even notice Clara’s dissatisfied look for such petty things.

Clara gets excited tearing the calendar. It’s Sunday again. She has her bucket lost already to go around the city today. She has even prepared some surprises for him. So she finished her chores earlier than usual and got her tray of snacks with coffee to his side. He is still sleeping like a kindergarten kid.

She drew patterns over her beard which is her favorite part.

“It’s Sunday,” she whispered near his ear, earning a groan.

“That’s what I am also telling you. It’s Sunday. So please let me sleep more ” Alex replied tiredly. He had been working day and night for a few days and that is taking a toll on him.

“At least drink this coffee and sleep.” Clara is very particular about health. She can’t stand it when he ignores his food. It’s already 8 in the morning and she doesn’t want him to be on an empty stomach.

“Clara, please” he turned and twisted to the other side grabbing her palm to his chest.

He didn’t notice her changed expressions. It’s not that he didn’t pay attention to her words, but he called her by her name. At that moment, she realised how much she is obsessed with the word Jaan. Why does he have to call her that way? Now that he called her by her name, he should be ready to bear the consequences.
