"Why did you bring her here?" Charolette yelled at Alina as she brought her inside the room."Who?" Alina asked, having no clue of what she was talking about."Your uncle and everyone here believes our culture is like God. And we all knew what Clara did? Your uncle is very upset with her decision to marry a guy of her choice. He vows not to see her face again during this birth" that was news to Alina. She gasped loudly as she looked at Clara and Alex standing there without any knowledge of this."But, aunty. We can't decide people's choices and fate. It's their life. Her parents were very happy." Alina tried to explain to her."Now they are happy but when these two get into a fight and don't let God do this but what if they separate? All love marriages result like that only. Twenty year olds can't decide for their future and that's why they should respect their parents and accept their decision." Now Alina gets tense. They came there to help Caroline break this marriage but here there
Alex's point of view:It's been three hours since she left the room. I felt utterly stupid to even think about her safety this time. She should have thought about it before leaving here. Why does she have to be so rude? She was speaking so meanly since I met her. I can never imagine Clara in this version.Do I know her well enough? Is this the real Clara? Did I miss to know her completely? Even though her face is full of attitude and hatred, I couldn't just sit and see her making stupid decisions. I messaged Edward right away and she went away. He must have sent her safely. Her words, I don't want to even recall her words. My eyes were too tired to sleep. She is proving only one thing since I met her again. And that is everything because of me. Is it so? Did I hide things from her? Did I not trust her as she did? Did I hurt her parents the way she did that day? Those questions led me to think about that day when everything went wrong. I could feel my hands and feet getting cold rec
Flashback continuesAlex's point of viewIt's been half an hour and Mira is just watching television. She is not in the mood to speak about anything. "I think it would be good" I placed a cup of coffee for her and she accepted it with a smile. What happened all of a sudden that she felt to hide it from me? I could read on her face that she doesn't want me to discover anything. She even disconnected her mom's call. We got distracted by a sudden sound and there was her mom standing with the most terrific look on her face. I look at Mira, who had the same terrified expression. What is with these ladies? "Aunty, why are you looking so tensed?" I stood up to grab her but Mira came in-between and grabbed her mom."Mom, we shall go home." She spoke spontaneously as if saving her mom to meet me. Would I eat her alive or what?"Why? I thought you left home and you are planning to live here." Her mom's words shook me. They seem to fight with intense hatred. I didn't see them like this ever.
Flashback continuesIt'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 imag
Alex's point of viewSwitching it off, I poured the coffee into mugs. This might be the 100th coffee. The day, the week, everything was so long and tiring. I carried the tray with so many things in my mind. "What was my mistake?" Mira asked, breaking my thoughts. She is still on the phone."I said, don't answer to anyone. No one is important now. Keep the phone away" I screamed at her and saw that she was scared by my loud voice. Why do I have to say this again and again? "Are you going to keep that phone away or not?" I yelled at her again as she switched it off instantly. Damn, I am too tired now to take care of anything. "If you want to cry, you can leave the place, Mira. I am not going to babysit you." I screamed again not minding about her state or anything. Do I look like a pushover for them? Can they even see how much worked out I am? "I am here trying to make you better and all you are doing is searching for reasons to again cry," I added as I kept the mug. She was looking
Alex's point of view "Don't irritate me. I just wish to sleep and sleep and will never fulfill any of your demands" my mom used to say this whenever she is too tired to do all household chores. Why does this dialogue have to get into my mind all of a sudden? Please, please, let my mom be like before. I don't know if God is even listening to me or not. It's almost 24 hours in the hospital and no one is clear now about her state. The entire day went by in a blink of an eye but the doctor's response didn't change. They were hoping for her to open her eyes because if it didn't happen, she might slip into a coma.Thanks to the stars Clara left the place and I have my time to at least mourn. I can't even cry now as I felt a lack of tears. I couldn't feel my eyes or cheeks as it was numb with so much crying. Anyone would be so surprised to see a guy crying like a kid but I don't care. I turned and saw dad in his most messed state. He didn't even change his dress. It looks like dirt. I ra
Alex looked at the dishes that is been served to him. His hunger died right at the moment and he doesn't want to play any game. Playing with food? Can he believe that his Clara would do this ever? He is hungry for real. "It's especially for you." Clara's sweet voice was layered with so much danger but no one dared to show that as Charlotte was in awe of the couple. "She told me that you love to eat her handmade food only. So she got up early and prepared it for you" Charlotte replied with a constant smile on her lips."Yeah, he won't eat till she serves her handmade food" Edward added to add more misery to Alex who was glaring at his friend with fire eyes."I guess she would have prepared it for Edward also as he will always snatch my food when it comes to her handmade food." That was unexpected from Alex. Alex served the not-so-pleasant food to Edward also and he served himself with a smile. "I better not make any sound or else these guys will involve me also" Jason mumbled as he
Caroline remembered her conversation with the groom's mother. It made her shiver even today.Flashback "Wow, you have topped the class?" A lady exclaimed as Caroline's eyes twinkled with pride. "I have always wished to study computers," Caroline replied to express her wish to study more. "What will you do after studying? We have everything in our home" the lady's words made Caroline stop her words and she received a glare from her mom."Did I say anything wrong?" The lady asked again."Not at all. Our Caroline is good in studies and we are proud of it. But you said it right. What is its use? She will be like a princess in your home" Geetha cooed the lady as she gave a smile."But yeah, ask her not to take this topic in front of my son and husband. They might get offended" the lady finally spoke while she left the place. Caroline sighed, recalling the worst meeting. Did she think that she would be going to such a place where there is no respect for studies? In short, no respect for
