Enchanted Love

Alex and Edward stood there when the girls were just in awe of Jason’s vehicle. It’s nothing special but a dashing sports car which has a top view also. How can any girl ignore such things? Clara, Alina and even Caroline were just clicking pictures with the car and of course with Jason.

“It’s not even a Porsche. Why do they have to behave like this?” Edward asked pouting like a kid?

“I don’t get a positive connection from this guy. He is not right” Alex went one step ahead as Edward looked at his side with wide eyes.

“He is not a wifi to get a good connection,” Edward replied as Alex glared at him

“May I know what exactly he is doing to get such a comment from your side?” Edward now gets to his mode to examine his friend’s worried face.

“Look at him, he has some phobia. He doesn’t talk to men. Always surrounded by female fans” Alex whined as Edward couldn’t agree to it more.

“So you want him to talk to you? Omg. Don’t tell me that” Edward paused as he looked at his friend.

“You like him? Are you?” Edward gasped as Alex rolled his eyes at his friend’s dramatic guess. Edward laughed and came to the point again.

“I don’t like him as he is a little closer to my wife. But what is bothering you?” Edward glaring at Jason who is high-fiving Clara.

“I just don’t like such overacting guys. Look at his dress. He doesn’t look like a doctor. Which doctor wears such fashionable jeans that are torn in many places?” Alex replied with a scoff. Edward smiled at his dumb friend who himself did not want to admit that he is jealous of Jason and Clara’s friendship.

“If you all want to just take pictures and praise this car and that driver, you can do that for a full day. But we have to go there till evening.” Alex voiced out, breaking the girl’s moment with Jason and of course with the car.

“Let’s leave then. Thank you, Jason. We shall go.” Clara kept the bag in the backside. Jason opened the driver’s seat.

“Are you coming?” Alex asked as he doesn’t see any need for that also when did they start giving vacation days to doctors?

“Yeah, I had a rough year so I applied for a month’s vacation. It got approved also because of my performance. So I wanted to use that for this month” Jason seemed to be so excited to join them as if they were going for a picnic.

“It’s not any happy vacation. We are going to Caroline’s home to talk to her parents about her wishes and studies.” Alex lost his patience.

“Did he lose his mind or what?” Alex asked.

“If there is a problem, there is no law to be sad and depressed all time.” Clara supported Jason.

“By the way, why are we wasting time here?” Caroline asked as she sat inside the car already followed by everyone.

Jason started the car at jet speed as all started enjoying the ride. He opened the top view so that they all enjoyed it more. Caroline felt so happy as she has never travelled even in a car for a long trip let alone this type of heroic car. She stood up and shouted like a mad girl as Clara and Alina too joined them.

The drive was filled with laughter from the girls for the jokes cracked by Jason. Alex and Edward regretted even accompanying them on this trip. Frank too enjoyed it and he liked Jason instantly. That’s insane.

*****

“What to order?” Jason asked, taking the lead.

“We have a mouth and we can order.” Edward prevented Alex from snapping at Jason.

“Order anything. But for Edward, I have this” Alina took a box, making Edward gulp visibly.

“My handmade” she exclaimed as Clara started coughing.

“It’s his punishment to eat my handmade food,” Alina proudly announced.

“Is it that bad?” Jason asked, blinking his eyes.

“Not at all. You should share this with Edward” Alex interfered, making Edward widen his eyes. He thought that his friend would support him and ask Alina to let this go but he is on another track.

“I am not afraid at all.” Jason grabbed the box and took a spoon from the dish and tossed it into his mouth.

“Jason” both Clara and Alina screamed in unison.

Jason’s eyes teared up as the taste hit his brain cells.

“Is there any law to punish us if we hurt any person with our handmade food?” Edward asked, worrying about the consequences.

“Maybe not but not sure if the person dies,” Alex said and the girls looked at him wide-eyed.

Jason gulped the food with so much difficulty.

“I am sorry ” Alina apologised instantly.

“You have never apologized to me after feeding such a tasteless worst dish!” Edward stood up accusing his wife.

“Tasteless?” Alina asked, glaring at him

“Worst?” Clara added, gasping at him.

“Guys relax. The food is good. But a little spicy. If we add salt and pepper, I guess it will equalise” Jason added those and gave it to Edward.

“You can enjoy the punishment alone” Jason whispered with a wink as both Alex and Edward gaped at him.

“Hey, shall we try some pranks?” Jason asked when their dishes came to the table. Edward didn’t allow Alex to take any dish as he served his punishment food to Alex also.

“What kind of prank?” Clara asked, all excited. She realized that this trip is the best thing that ever happened to her after her worst breakup. She feels so fresh and happy.

“First you all eat. Maybe after some time” Jason smiled as he had some evil plans.

Alex pulled the pulav plate but Edward pushed it back, glaring at him with an angry stare.

“Please. I can even starve. But can’t eat this” Alex whispered as Edward punched him.

“It’s called punishment for a reason,” Edward replied with a smile and gulped the food as if he is practising this for a long time.

“Alex, do you want something?” Alina is concerned.

“No, he is very happy with this food,” Edward replied with a giggle.

The waiter came with the bill interrupting them.

“It seems so cheaper than what I imagined” Clara exclaimed as she tried to check her purse and found it missing.

“Guess I kept it inside the car.” She passed the bill to Alina.

“I don’t carry the purse as Edward is always with me, my ATM card” Alina laughed but Edward turned away all annoyed. She didn’t even ask him if he wanted to at least taste anything. How cruel has she become?

“As we didn’t even taste anything, we will strongly stay away from this bill,” Alex spoke as both of the friends looked away.

“Guys now don’t look at me. I thought you would pay for the food. I have nothing” Jason showed his empty pocket

“What is this?” Frank asked, not expecting this for sure.

“Guess, you don’t have money” the waiter seemed to be not pleased with them.

“Brother. Please don’t take us wrong. We are good people. Moreover, I am a doctor” Clara came forward to sort this out.

“Yeah, if you suddenly met with an accident and your whole body gets paralysed, she would treat you well. And that too for free” Alex commented with a small smile to let the waiter know that he has met a doctor and can get free treatment. Edward controlled his giggle but Frank started laughing out loud.

“Yeah, I can even treat people who lack brains,” Clara added, mocking Alex. Now it’s a treat to watch their fight.

“Yup, to get treatment from her, one should not have a brain” Alex replied.

“At least in this, you agreed that you have no brain.” She didn’t seem to stop the conversation.

“Guess I am not the one to get free treatment, it must be you all who would get her help. Vicky.” the waiter called someone with a smirk.

The person came there and everyone gulped in fear. He was six feet and more than that too with big built arms and abs.  He can even lift them all with his single hand.

“Brother, don’t you have punishment like grinding anything or washing vessels?” Alina asked with pleading eyes.

“My husband can do everything. He can wash vessels neatly. He is even a cook. He cooks Italian food. So why violence?” Alina added with a cute smile to flatter the guys. Edward gasped at his wife who seemed to be not affected by his stares.

“How about moping everywhere. I guess his friend would do that” Clara added with a small smile.

Vicky came forward with dangerous expressions not minding their pleading.

“Relax. I will take my purse from the car.” Clara stood up, getting annoyed with the waiter’s behaviour.

“Sir, your money” Jason gave them the amount instantly.

“We know that you have money and just want to eat free food with some nonsense story. That’s why we have this treatment for such people” the waiter spoke annoyingly as he took the amount and grabbed Vicky along. Everyone sighed in relief.

“Thanks, Jason.” Clara smiled at him.

“Someone already planned to donate us to that bodyguard.” Clara glared at Alex.

“Actually, I just thought they would make us wash vessels. I didn’t expect this coming.” Jason places their wallet of Clara in her hand as she widens her eyes. Did he mean to prank them, not with others?
