Enchanted Love

After having a long conversation with Charlotte, Clara again came to the garden with the hope that everyone is gone or they have changed the subject but she sighed tiredly when she noticed that everything was paused with her absence and it was resumed just now. What an irony.

“Guys. Let’s just end this saddy part. Now everything is good, right? Don’t sulk alone. Try to move on.” Edward commented.

“What was sorted out?” Alex asked to intervene with them. He knew what they all are thinking and wanted to break their bubbles.

“Do you believe that we would be back like before?” Alex asked as he threw his hands up in frustration. Alina just wanted to smash this man’s head for sure.

“Are you sure Clara would be okay with that?” he further asked as everyone turned to see Clara who had a very calm and peaceful expression. She has changed for good. For two days, she was so cheerful and that rude facade broke and vanished into thin air.

“Of course. She has become like before if you didn’t notice her properly” Alina taunted Alex. She knew that her anger vanished the moment she broke everything to Alex. What else is there to sulk more?

Alex started laughing confusing them more.

“Guess, even Alina can’t read Clara properly,” Alex spoke in between his laughter. His laughter was filled with so much pain and everyone could feel that.

“She is cheerful. She is happy. She looks damn satisfied. Because” he paused as he turned to Clara’s side who is not even blinking her eyes.

“Because now she has cleared her side.” he ended as he was just studying her expressions.

“Doesn’t it mean the same?”Edward asked, not so sure of what Alex is intending to tell them. Alex sighed tiredly, not able to make them understand anything. He knew about Clara. He knows what she thinks and what she wants to do now.

“Relationships are like sensitive crockery. Once broken, it can never be repaired. Even if we try, the patches will be shown forever.” Clara left the place as she finished talking. Alina sighed tiredly. Why Clara always takes a longer route when she can take a shortcut and enjoy life? But Alex knew that she will never come back to him.

“She is happy that she expressed her part. She is happy that now I have nothing to hold her back not even hatred” Alex spoke seeing her recreational figure.

“She might forgive me or even be ready to move on from that painful path. But she will never come back to me” Alex’s words were full of hurt and regret.

********

“Let’s keep our dramas aside and plan for Caroline now” Alina announced with an annoyed expression.

“What should we do?” Clara asked, not wanting to drag their drama anymore. She is happy at least that Alex is clear about her side but at the same time, she wanted to have a private conversation with him. Maybe she wanted to hear him saying how much he is feeling guilty and all.

“First we have to search for Caroline” Jason came inside with the news as all turned to see him with full confusion.

“Why do we have to keep him here?” Edward asked, muttered under his breath.

“Shall we mock later?” Jason asked, pouting a little.

“Caroline ran away again leaving this letter for Alina” Jason gave the letter as all gasped loudly. Why did she do this?

“Damn, she thought that we are busy with our problems and doesn’t want to help her. That’s why she is leaving the home to sort it out” Alina gasped loudly explaining the content of the letter.

“I have already started my CID mind to alert mode and I know where she is now?” Jason spoke proudly.

“Shall we stand here and show this thinking after some time? We have no time at all” Jason’s words made them snap out from their shock.

All leave the home silently so that no one comes to know about Caroline’s disappearance.

*******

“As per the driver’s information, she is in bustand” Jason spoke as all walked to the bustand. But didn’t find Caroline there.

“CID sir. Can you ask your mind again to show us where Caroline is right now?” Edward mocked him with an annoying smile.

“She should be here only.” Jason checked his mobile as he found her number blinking somewhere near them.

“Omg, her mobile phone” Clara gasped when she picked up her mobile from the mud. Why did she leave it there?

“Should we inform uncle?” Alina is not feeling right about it.

“Guys relax. Let’s ask that kid. He seemed to be playing here. He might have seen Caroline” Alex comforted everyone and went to ask the kid.

“Did you see this girl?” Alex asked the kid as he gave them chocolates who became very happy to get them for free.

Seeing the picture, the kid looked back to see if someone is there or not.

“One uncle grabbed this girl and this sister was crying” The kid replied and ran away. Alex stood there shocked with the news. Who would be that?

Alex stood and realised a dangerous looking guy with well built muscles, standing there. He might have listened to his conversation with the kid. Right now, he should leave the place with the people before anything happens to anyone.

“What did he say?” Alina asked loudly as Alex closed his eyes in fristration. The guy looked at Alex as he narrowly searches for something in his pocket. Is it gun? Or maybe knife. Gulping his saliva, Alex turned to Edward.

“Let’s go. Nothing to worry about” Alex spoke as he eyed Edward so that he could understand it.

“Why are you winking at me, idiot” one should have friend like Edward for sure.

“You looked awesomely beautiful thats why” Alex replied with a huge frown in his face. The guy approached them in his slow steps.

“Guys, lets go from here!” Alex grabbed both Alina and Clara first as he felt not safe to be there any second. Edward gets suspicious with his behaviour.

“You can leave Alina. I will grab her” Edward commented as he grabbed Alina protectively. Jason laughed at Alex who got annoyed with Edward to an unlimited extent.

“Alex will grab me now. This man, I don’t know who is he?” Alina shrugged of her shoulders, making Edward gape at her.

“He didn’t talk to me since two days and all of a sudden I became his wife?” Alina yelled as Edward turned away.

“Can you leave my hand?” Clara snapped in between as Alex sighed tiredly. No one can save them as the dangerous guy approached them already.

“Can we play this game once we are home?” Alex asked as he side eyed the man who almost reached them.

“Are you not taking too much liberty all of a sudden?” Clara asked glaring at him for explanation. He was quite for two days and all of a sudden he is acting as if nothing happened. For heaven’s sake, it’s not a small matter.

“Are we in hurry?” The dangerous man asked as he blocked their way instantly.

“Congratulations?” Alex mocked them as everyone is now scared to the situation. The guy is dangerously glaring at them.

“Why did you show this girl’s picture?” the man asked as he crossed his arms at them.

“She is my sister. Did you see her?” Alina asked, coming in front of the guy.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“If I tell you that we have this girl, You will go to the police, right?” The man asked as Alina glared at him with so much anger.

“No. We will go to the police after murdering you” Alina yelled as she grabbed his collar. Edward and Alex get shocked with the sudden actions. Did Alina born with this attitude or did she develop it later?

“Alina, stay away from him” Edward yelled but went vain as she was hell bent on beating the guy. The guy is surely terrified of the girl.

“Leave my hair, ahh” the guy cried in pain. More than to escape from this guy, both Edward and Alex felt pity for him. Alina surely pulls hair from the root. Both have experienced this.

“Ani, he looked dangerous. Don’t risk it.” Clara yelled but Alina was in no mood to listen to them.

“Hurt me more, your sister will be dead” the guy cried loudly as Alina froze and her grip loosened from his hair. Did he really kidnap Caroline?

The man leisurely dodged her attack as he grabbed Alina easily and twisted her hand instantly. He kept a sharp knife over her neck, startling everyone.

“Where is Caroline?” Alina asked daring him to hurt her. Edward and Alex looked shocked.

“She is not like you. Just by looking at me, her throat blocked and with just one slap, I guess she will be in sleep mode for one week” the guy laughed and now everyone could see the depth of the situation.

Clara took a few steps back in fear till she got hit by Jason. She grabbed his arms for support. Alex looked pained to see how she seeked Jason for help instead of him who was just standing beside her. Is there at least one per cent chance for him to be with her? He could see none.

“We can get jealous later. But right now, chances for us to leave the place alive is equal to zero” Edward voiced out, bringing Alex back to reality.

Is that so? Jason and Alex looked baffled as Edward’s words made sense. The guy looked somewhere and there came another three henchmen with unbelievably big knives.
