Happiness is a choice not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. Once you decide to be happy, it is it. No one is responsible for your happiness except for you. Clara felt like uttering those words to Frank. But right now it will not work with him. He seemed to be quite lost in this. His loneliness, his sudden disability and major part is his wife's bedridden state. Everything took a toll on him and he is very clever to hide those emotions with his charming smile. Ever since he met Clara, he tried to comfort her and he never showed that he is in need of that comfort. Clara felt sad to even ignore his state of mind and was always on the receiving end to gain his wisdom. "Okay, we won't go anywhere." Clara agreed instantly and Frank turned to see her amazed. He thought that she would compel him till he agreed. Maybe she agrees with his view and wants to see him happy."Thank you for not compelling me like Alex does always" Frank replied with a huge grin li
Edward looked at the restaurant where he stopped his car and sighed tiredly. His message flashed again but he wanted to go to his wife now."I am sorry, dear" he mumbled a small apology as he turned his car and flew instantly with a stoic expression. Increasing the speed, he sent a message to the other person to wait for him there. He will just meet the person and go back to the restaurant quickly. That's what he thought.****A plate full of cauliflower vanished away as Alex enjoyed it slowly slowly. Clara felt the urge to snatch the plate. Her wife's instincts and the doctor's instincts made it difficult for her to watch the scene without any drama. Why does he have to choose this way to show her that he is cool? "Dad, do you talk to mom at night?" Clara asked and another awkward silence prevailed. Frank took a deep breath and looked at Clara."No. She should wake up soon. I won't talk to her till then" Frank informed her as Clara sighed tiredly. This man has bottled up his emotion
"Damn, he is cheating on our Alina." Jason gasped loudly."Excuse me?" Clara seemed to be offended. Jason shouldn't have commented about Edward."It's not our Alina. It's my Alina" okay she is not angry at the comment for Edward but Alina alone. Such a possessive friend. Jason smiled at her. This girl amazes him with everything. Her rudeness and arrogance show her one side whereas her little things show her childish side which looked too cute to ignore. "So, Edward is cheating. Are you okay with this?" Jason asked, shrugging his thoughts."No. I mean. We can't just decide on this simple thing. You have never watched them. Edward can never do this" Clara knew that her words were not strong enough. Because she herself is not sure what she should believe now. Jason smiled at her confused face."I will drop you home now. Don't think too much." Jason suggested as he took his bike again to let her sit behind him.*****"I don't want to create problems in your life." The girl cried as Edwar
Edward and Alina looked at Clara to see if she was for real here? Clara can never hurt any person but now she is hell bent to push Alex to the limit that he might explode back. Why does she want to do this?"He has changed now. Cauliflower is his favorite. It's not what I am saying. He just said those to me" Clara reasoned her statement as Alina and Edward sighed tiredly. When will they grow up and behave maturely?"But" Edward is cut by Alex as he grabs the plate and starts eating those as he wants to prove her wrong. But who he is kidding about? the lunch disaster itself is not yet healed with a single medicine and now he has no idea what he should take after this. "Alex, you should stop eating this" Mira glared at Clara as if accusing her of this but she shrugged off her shoulders carelessly as she turned to Edward's side to investigate him. "By the way, Alina told me that you didn't go with her for the evening date!" Clara munched her food casually, not making it obvious that sh
Letting go of your painful past is how you open yourself to your wonderful future. Clara remembered her dad's words as she took a deep breath. More than following his words, she wanted to piss Mira a lot. Seeing her restless figure made her happy. Clara wanted to tease her more than she could. She wished to stay away from all these people but now it seems like she started enjoying messing up with everyone. To be honest, it's really fun for her. "Edward, how about the song, let me love you? Can you play that for me?" Clara asked and a loud gasping sound echoed all around the room. Mira glared at Clara as tears started rolling down her cheeks. Alina and Edward were conflicted between happiness and fear.The song started playing as Clara took Alex's hands gently and clutched them. Mira lowered her eyes not wanting to show her vulnerable state. She wanted to show that these little things can never hurt her.Clara looped her hand around his neck as Alex slowly touched her waist. Her sati
"It is not about doubting Edward. It's about his lies and hiding things from Alina. If it concerns Alina, I will doubt Edward for sure" Clara widened her eyes at his words. Does he care about Alina more than she cares for her?"Moreover you don't know about him and his family history." Alex crossed his arms in a dominating way. How can she just trust him like that?"Did you know, his father had a love affair when we all admire his parents as an idol couple.?" Alex doesn't know what he is talking about but all he cares about is how can she trust him like she knows everything about him? "Can you move out of my way?" She was uninterested in his words that annoy him like hell. What did Edward do to gain such trust from her?"Don't just act cool to annoy me." Alex grabbed her again. She cursed herself to choose such attire. His grip gets deep as it's slipping away."No one is going to give you an award for acting this way" Alex yelled at her as he tightened his grip over her arms. He is c
Alina stood there demanding answers from Edward whereas everyone was just stunned with her accusations. This girl is unbelievable. Edward walked to her side, still crossing his arms in a dominating way. "So, you don't care about her relationship with me?" Edward asked, to know how much she trusts him?"Edward, I can't guarantee that you will be alright if you ever see another girl except for me. But right now, I am not an idiot to not even identify my sister" Alina replied as Clara gasped. Sister? Alina is the only child of her parents. Edward chuckled at her. She is surely one piece material and that's why he likes her like anything. "Which sister?" Clara asked but the girl turned with her fluffy eyes and cheeks."Caroline?" Clara gasped, closing her mouth. Caroline looked at Clara and scanned her costume. But it's not the problem now, right? "If I am not wrong, it is her engagement in two days right?" Clara asked to calculate the sudden stunt of Caroline who is cousin sister of
Clara and Alex widened their eyes at him. Alex even noticed the girl's pic when Jason sent them to Clara. The girl was just beautiful. Now even Clara had the thought that Jason might have some thoughts about her? She blinked to see if he was real or not. "I don't think this girl would suit me," Jason replied after a pause, noticing their silent gaze. Now she wanted to ask more about his taste."Whom do you think will suit me?" Jason asked interrupting her questionnaire."By appearance" Jason added and turned to ask Clara. "Don't mind me telling this. Short girls won't suit you. Maybe if it's your shoulder height, it will look perfect." Alex's words made them turn to his side. "Also, fairness is not beauty. For your heroic subtle appearance, I feel that a dusky skin girl with sharp features would make a perfect pair with you" okay, he has to point everything opposite to Clara. If they couldn't identify this, they should be dumb. Clara and Jason looked at him with a knowing look whil
Clara felt so emotional to he a part of this family. She expressed how they all accepted her even with all her flaws. She is grateful for Jenny who is more than like her mom. She cares for Clara more than Bella at sometimes. Not even mention about Frank who is exact copy of Alex in taking care of their loved ones. When she finished her speech, Alex lifted her again making all gasp."Time is up. She needs to rest" Alex spoke with a wink as he got to their room to make her sleep. Edward takes care of the rest of the arrangements for the guest. ***** "Alex. I guess" Clara woke up in the middle of the night. She is getting restless and Alex switched on the lights with the same panic. It's their routine to wake up in the middle of the night to see if they neared the due date, if the cramps are actually her labour pain or not."It's really paining this time" Edward sighed at Clara's words as she always gets scare of pain so she gets panic for the false pain."Edward, get the car. Alina,
Alina sat over the shore and she knew that there was still time for her delivery but why does she feel restless all of a sudden. She wiped her forehead for the ninth time and sudden pain shot up her abdomen making her eyes tear up automatically. She grabbed Edward's shoulder with her nails making him shriek out in pain. "It's painting" Alina spoke with difficulty as Edward started getting nervous all of a sudden. He was well.organized and he even was prepared for such a situation. He packed everything in advance. He even came to the nearest place where he could get her to the hospital. But when the time came, he felt paranoid. Edward stood up to get help from his friends while Alina grabbed him again."Ask Jason to get Clara back home. She shouldn't see this. She will be scared." Alina knew exactly what Clara was. She is very strong but too timid from inside. Giving birth to a child is the scariest thing for her. She would freak out if she witnessed such things.Edward grabbed Alex
#####chapter 116 A small picnic was needed for both the couples to run away from the busy schedule. Edward prepared everything necessary which Alina did not even think would be necessary for a one day picnic. "That's absurd. There are still two weeks until my due date and you have prepared everything as if we would be going today. We shall arrange it once we come back" Alina pouted ignoring the heartbeat which was due to the fear of pain. "why are you even trying when I won't listen to you in taking chances in your matter" Edward is annoyed now. Alina has been nagging him since morning not to pack these things."ready?" Alex asked as he entered the jeep. Jason and Sana too joined them but yeah always kissing Alex and Edward to a greater level.Clara sat near Alex as she kept her head over his shoulder. It's her fourth month and she is hell exhausted with the drastic change in her body. She craves almost everything but as soon as she takes one bite of it, she emptied her stomach. Th
"Shall we have a big banner here?" Edward is super excited to have a baby shower function for his wife to welcome their baby. It's the ninth month and he is too excited. "Just have a pink banner here and a blue banner there" Alex arranged everything for Alina. Edward is indeed his brother cum buddy but Alina and he have been sharing a special relationship since then. They want to have a thrilling experience so they denied to know the gender."She had arranged for a photo shoot. If you get late by even a second, I can not guarantee your life" Alex reminded him as Edward widened his eyes in shock. He totally forgot about it. He ran to the backside where everything was set perfectly.The function starts smoothly as Edward's parents blessed the couple and Edward's mom started the ritual. "Don't you dare talk to me" everyone was startled with the noise from the entrance?"What happened, Clara?" Edward ran to her side with concern. "I don't want to talk to this guy!" Clara pointed at Ale
114 "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 b
"I am going to Apple restaurant for just half an hour." Alex got extremely angry with her behavior. Of course, she informed him that her doctor is in the city who treated her during her miscarriage. But didn't he restrict her to travel anywhere alone? He grabbed his keys with the same anger and panic. She should be safe. "Where is she?" Frank asked when Alex came running downstairs."she messaged me that she is going nearby. So I will bring her now." Alex answered curtly as he walked fastly."What was that important?" Frank too was annoyed with her."She went to meet the doctor who treated her back then," Alex paused and looked at Jenny. Should he tell the reason or not?"When she had a miscarriage?" Jenny asked gasping as Frank too widened his eyes."Alex. Don't let her meet. Don't... I mean... Go and get her before she meets her. No, let me call that doctor..." Frank took the mobile and Alex stood there completely taken aback by the sudden expressions of Jenny and Frank."Jenny, do
Alex panicked seeing Clara who was standing at the entrance of her mom's room. He knew that Clara didn't even see Jenny these days. He even promised her that it would happen soon when the doctor examines her improvement. But now seeing her doing this, he felt his heart strangled. She won't do anything rashly. That's what he was uttering again and again till he reaches her side. "Clara" he called her gently so that they both could leave the place before his mom notices them. Alex tried to talk about Clara with Jenny. But she never mentions her name or asked anything about that incident. It was clear that her mind shuts that memory from her system. So Alex wanted to take it slowly. He saw Clara's back stiffened with his presence. She didn't turn to his side instead she was frozen on the spot. He notices that something was wrong as he peeped inside and his entire body froze when he saw his mom in the same state, a numb state. Jenny was frozen and the tears streamed down with no gap. A
"don't strain too much. It's just a few days since you were asleep. Don't stress about anything." The doctor advised Jenny who is still not able to even lift her finger and that stresses her like hell."I have injected for pain. So it will subside soon. Try to speak and be at ease. I will soon get your tests done by the end of this week and let's see what should be done" The doctor left the room with a smile. Alex didn't want to leave her side any moment. "A.l.e.n" Jenny struggled to speak as Alex helped her to drink water."What. What? Do you want something?" Alex asked in his panic voice."Frank?" Jenny asked. "I am here." Frank came there and Alex was just shocked to see his dad in entirely new form. He was dressed up in a stylish t-shirt paired up with jeans and he even did his hair. His light blue jacket was top notch. The coolers he used was the latest one. He completed his looks with his stylish attitude. "Jaan, I am here at your service. Just give me a signal I will bring e
Some time before"Alex, leave me." Clara was wriggling in his arms when he shamelessly pulled her inside as she was about to give him a towel."As you know, my back is still hurting and I couldn't bathe myself" Alex pouted as he loosened his grip. She looked at him and she knew that he was not joking now. His continuous careless sleep made her back stiffened to a severe level and he has trouble in daily activities."I couldn't sleep those days without you." Alex honestly mumbled as her heart constricted. "Don't you think you should fill those days with your care?" he asked cheekily as he winked at her. Clara smiled and didn't protest. She too enjoyed it as she helped him bathe. "If you want to join me?" Alex asked as she threw water to his side to make him shut his mouth. There are certain things that she can never do and he knew that. And just like that, she ran down without noticing the soap foam in her arms. Clara stood there where Alex took the entire scene in the opposite view
