Enchanted Love

“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 even it’s stars” Frank spoke as Alex was just blank with his attitude.

“Dad, so cheesy” Alex chuckle after a five long minutes of silence. Both looked at Jenny who was smiling so gracefully. She is back for good.

“Alex, can you leave us alone? We have so much to talk about.” Frank pulled Alex but his grip over her hand was so strong that Jenny flinched making the boys gape.

“I am not leaving my mom with you. I don’t know what you are up to suddenly. Just go and change” Alex replied and shifted his gaze to Jenny again who was enjoying their banters.

“Just get out while I am being sweet.” now it was a direct threat and Alex stood up with the flow. But he has no intention to leave the room anytime.

“Mom, press this button if anything happens. And don’t stress please. And please don’t think about anything.” Alex was going on his list, making Frank roll his eyes.

“Out, Alex” Frank yelled making Alex pout

“Lastly. Don’t sleep.” Alex felt emotional as he uttered those. He sat again hugging his mom. Frank wiped his tears which was treating since hours. But he doesn’t want to cry at least for today when their happiness is back for good.

“Alex, you are grown up for god’s sake. Don’t behave like 5 years” Frank commented grabbing Alex from the bed.

“Dad, you will pay for this” Alex yelled when Frank slammed the door in front of his face.

Clara was waiting for him for nearly 12 hours. She ignored the pain developing in every joints of her body. Why does it have to pain this much especially when the things in the home are like this. She felt alone all of a sudden. The same loneliness which she felt at the night when Alex asked her to leave his life. Today he asked her to leave the room.

That day also, she was physically drained out and that’s what made her too emotional that she took that decision. Today the pain was unbearable and she wanted to hug Alex and get pampered by him. She wanted to see Jenny the most but she knew that Alex won’t allow her and even she knew that it is correct. Maybe if she comes in front of Jenny, she might again get triggered with the same thing.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

The thoughts clouded her eyes as she felt dizzy all of a sudden. Before she could fall, Alex grabbed her and she felt too happy to have him beside her rather like the last time. She pulled him to front and hugged him, crying out loud. Alex had no idea of her sudden outburst. He thought that he would celebrate this happy moment with her but seeing her like this, made him shocked.

“Jaan” He cupped her cheeks.

“The pain is unbearable?” he asked guessing the cause but she is in no mood to explain her inner turmoil.

“Or you are upset because I didn’t let you meet mom?” he asked as she looked at him undazed. Seeing her expressions, he felt hurt to realise that he did hurt her again like before.

He didn’t tell anything as he gently pulled her for a hug. She silently sobbed. She doesn’t want to hide her hurt for the first time and she knew that this change is best for them.

“I don’t want to say sorry or anything. I was just scared to even think that mom might be hurt again.” His voice wobbled as she gripped his shirt tightly to show her trust.

“What did doctor say?” She asked changing the topic.

“She needs time to adjust. He took some tests and will assess her stability” Alex replied.

“She didn’t remember how she had a attack that day” Alex gave the last piece of information and that gave her a hint that she might not see her for some time more.

“Don’t worry. Let’s focus on her recovery first. I will be happy if she gets fine and meet me later.” Clara felt her heart heavy with her words. Jenny is like more than her mom to her. She wants to meet her, hug her, apologise to her. But right now she have to wait a little bit to do those.

It’s been a week since she woke up and she didn’t mention about Clara at any time as she was grasping the atmosphere along with the changes in her body. Clara hoped that Jenny would mention about her and would ask about her. But it didn’t happen.

Winding up her evening shift, Clara entered the home. She walked carefully not wishing to make any sound that might grab Jenny’s attention. But she just couldn’t cross the room without at least have a look at her.

Clara stood at the door unable to open it.  Just she would look at Jenny and leave. That’s what she wished for. She opened the door and peeped inside to see Jenny sleeping there calmly. The corner of her lips curved up to see her back. How she wish to go there and grab her for a hug.

“Who is it” Jenny asked as she struggled to sit on her bed. She could see that it was a girl but wondered who was that. Reality hits her slowly as she widened her eyes realising how could she forget everything? Seeing her expressions, Clara gasped as she closed her mouth with her palm. She shouldn’t have come there.

“Clara?” Jenny mumbled in her low voice as tears streamed down her cheeks, making Clara tremble in fear. If anything happens to her now, it would be her fault alone. How would she repair this loss? Clara froze realising her mistake.

“Clara?” Alex’s voice from behind made her even more nervous than ever. What would he do now? Will he despise her? Will he regret his decision of getting her back to his life? Will he hate her? More than his reactions, Clara is scared of Jenny’s state. She can’t lose her again at least when everything is back to her life.

“Mom” Alex screamed as he ran to her side in no seconds passing Clara. Jenny didn’t even blink as her tears flowed continuously. Clara felt her entire body paralysed for bad way. She realised that she has messed it up in a great way this time. Her legs gave up as she fall flat on the floor with a thud and thats when Alex looked back at her.

His reaction was the thing which she is afraid of. Wishing badly that the moment just went away with no thunder or lightning, she closed her eyes and she just couldn’t open them as her mind blocked all the pain that was stressing her for a few days
