Enchanted Love

“She is kicking.” Alina beamed in happiness as the doctor smiled showing her the screen where the tiny baby is not at all in one position to let them watch her.

“Edward, did you see?” Alina asked happily as Edward touched the screen to feel the tiny heartbeat in his palm.

“I haven’t felt this weird happiness in my entire life. Can’t wait long to have her in my hand” Edward spoke with tears in his eyes as both of them jerked from the position hearing commotion from outside.

Alina and Edward went out to see Alex fighting with the receptionist to let him enter the scan room.

“What happened?” Edward is just too shocked to see his state.

“Alina, do you know where Clara is?” Alex asked ignoring Edward’s question.

“And why do you even have a phone when you won’t pick up?” Alex yelled at Edward with so much anger that Edward was taken aback by the situation.

“Relax, I didn’t talk to Clara since morning. Did anything happen?” Alina asked grabbing Alex’s palm to let him calm down for a bit.

“Okay, do you have any idea of where she might be whenever she is down?” Alex asked with the hope that he would find her before it was too late.

“Alex, it’s not a movie or series for a female lead to have such a spot in her life.” Alina wanted to sound calm but his lame question made her temper. First of all, she is scared of Clara who is missing for whatever reason maybe. Secondly, this insane person is blabbering with no concrete reasons.

“I don’t know where should I find her” Alex burst into tears as Alina grabbed him for a hug and she gently pats his shoulders.

It was almost night 8 and even Police couldn’t locate her. Everyone was in the hall praying for her safety.

Alex’s phone beeped with a tone and he has no intention to read the message which might be from any other bank or simply a spam message. But with a little hope that it might be from someone who might have seen Clara, he opened the message and his eyes widened in shock.

“Clara. It’s her.” He screamed.

“Alex, don’t worry. I am fine” Alex read the message and wiped the tears from his eyes with a bright smile. He asked his police friend to trace the number now as it was active now.

“Idiot. Didn’t you check with her parents?” steev, a friend of Alex, asked her in annoyance.

“I don’t want to scare them” Alex replied honestly.

“Fool, she is there only,” steev informed him as he traced the location of Clara. Even he didn’t search for her in that place as they were checking around the restaurant and all possible areas for a sad person to hang out.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Didn’t you know the cause of your case?” Dr. Florida’s words rang again as Clara squirmed in her sleep.

“You have no health issues or anything else and that’s why there were no complications in your second pregnancy. But be careful with the medicines you take.” Clara felt her breath clogged inside her head.

“you have taken some wrong medicines and you were too stressed.” Clara got up from her sleep with a jerk. Did she kill her kid? She started hyperventilating as the crying sound of a small baby gets deeper and heavy around her.

“You both have lost your kid. You are not alone in pain.” Her mom’s voice helped her to come out from the darkness but still, the pain in her heart made it impossible for her to breathe.

“I can’t live without you, Jaan.” Alex’s voice made her snap open her eyes to see the surroundings as she touched her face which was full of sweat.

“Alex” She called him slowly as she checked the time. Damn, it was almost night and she cursed herself to run away. She switched on her mobile after connecting them to the charger.

“I am fine. Don’t worry” she typed the message quickly and sent them to Alex ignoring the migraine.

She sat there in front of the fan and still she couldn’t stop the sweat from flowing out. The pain of losing her kid was unbearable but knowing that she was the one who made that sin, she felt worse to even breathe. She wanted to run away from everything. She wanted to give up everything. But again, will it be fair for all who love her?

Clara cried, releasing a loud sob as she closed her mouth with her hand. She is now blessed with the second chance which not everyone could get easily.

“I can’t do the same mistake again. I will protect you” Clara mumbled as she gently pressed the belly. She has to stay strong to protect this little one. She can’t act rashly or sensitively.

“mumma. Where are you?” She typed the message again and sent it to Bella who has gone somewhere with Ron. They haven’t returned till now. Bella is the only person who can help her come out from this. Clara wants to hug her mom right now.

The door slammed open jerking her from her position. Before she could see who did that, she was pulled into a warm hug.

“Where were you?” Alex didn’t let her go even after he was sure that she is safe.

“I am sorry” She mumbled after a long and her sobs filled the room with her heavy breath.

“Just forget everything and we are now together and happy. Right?” Alex asked cupping her face.

“I had severe pain in my body that day and I took painkillers without any second thought. I had no idea how much I had taken” Clara confessed as she closed her eyes to release fresh tears.

“It’s not a problem. The doctor said that if you were not stressed, the medicines would have no effect” Alex tried to console her and blame himself for everything that happened.

“Why does it has to be me? I was always careful whenever I eat food or medicines. You know, right? I am not careless” she asked again and hugged him tightly.

“Please Alex. Make me sleep and help me forget these all. I don’t want to hurt our kid again. I don’t want to lose him again.” Clara begged him and collapsed over the floor. Even an unknown person if sees Clara, he would break into tears. Seeing her pathetic state, Alina sobbed uncontrollably. Edward grabbed her so that she wouldn’t cry anymore.

Alex scooped her arms and lifted her in one go. He eyed everyone else to leave them as he kept her over the bed. Clara tried hard not to behave oddly or weirdly or to add her migraine.

“Do you remember the first time I saw you?” Alex asked as he gently stroked her hair.

“You looked like a rabbit in that white gown and dark eyes.” He chuckled, wiping his tears with his fingers. Her sobs were reduced by half as she tried to get involved in his story.

“I have never drawn like that towards anyone. It was just love at first sight and I have no faith in it.” Alex confessed honestly. Even she had the same view back then.

“My friends made fun of that and I thought I would forget you as days passed by. I was wrong” Alex paused as he cupped her face.

“When I met you again, I knew that instant that you were mine and you were destined for me.” Alex kissed her forehead.

“These nine months without you, should I explain minute details so that you realize how much I suffered?” Alex asked.

“Your physical report itself showed me how much you are suffering” Clara pouted as she remembered the depth of his back pain.

“I want to ask you only one thing” Clara sat over the bed lowering her head as Alex looked at her to ask anything.

“You don’t blame me, right?” she asked as her voice broke in between and tears clogged her eyes.

“Everything is already destined to happen. We are mere humans. Who are we to calculate those?” Alex hugged her and a fresh set of tears rolled down from her eyes.

“I am sorry” Clara felt like asking sorry again and again as if she longed to return to that day so that she could fix everything.

“Don’t ask sorry, even if it’s your mistake. But here it’s not” Alex kissed her again.

“My anger destroyed our relationship back then. Don’t forget that and you can get angry whenever you get reminded of that. But other than this, you should not remember anything” Alex tried his best to convince her. Clara on the other hand tried hard to change herself. She can’t sit and cry for hours to hurt her present.

They both have to be strong to welcome their new member of the family. She needs to act strong. She needs to buckle herself to change
