shback ends.
Alina looked at Jason and sighed sadly.
“What happened?” Jason asked as Alina stopped narrating the story. To be honest he was so engrossed in the story that he wanted to know more about them.
“That was thest thing I knew. When we woke up, we found out that ra and Alex left the ce early. We thought that they left to sort out the issue and we even though they went to celebrate.” Alina smiled sadly.
“After three days, we went back to our ce and things were not what they were supposed to be” Alina’s eyes teared up recalling the state of ra.
“Alex’s mom had a stroke and she became paralysed. His dad also met with an ident a weekter.” Edward exined and sighed tiredly.
“Alex gets hysterical whenever I start talking about ra. So I never asked him about the reason.” Edward spoke, recalling his friend’s state.
“As for ra, she stopped expressing anything to me. She locked herself in her room for some days and even stopped talking with anyone.” Alina’s throat went dry recalling her pain.
“Jason, she was very cheerful and a happy person. Now her frustration and irritation are just because of her pain. So I just want you to be with her always. Don’t judge her with her harsh words. She doesn’t mean anything. She thinks that she would never trust anyone and give that liberty for them to hurt her in a way Alex does.” Alina exined why she opened up the story to Jason.
“Thanks for trusting me. ra is a nice person. I have had great respect for her when I witnessed her helping nature towards her patient. She hides that from those patients too. But never thought that she was once a colourful person. I will try to make her like before.” Jason is hurt to know everything about ra. He is lucky to witness ra’s good nature when he was also thinking of her as a rude girl. Now he could at least sense her pain. Whatever may be, Alex is like a prince in a fairy tale. ra can never forget such a person in her life and move on. She is stuck in her past and is struggling a lot to ovee loneliness.

“Are you nning to murder me?” Alex winced in pain. ra rolled her eyes at his whining.
“Stop being an annoying grandma. But even that grandma doesn’t whine like you” ra threw her hands up in frustration. Alex is not at all allowing her to even raise his hand to stretch his muscles.
“Grandma? Did you justpare me to a grandma?” Alex asked, gasping loudly.
“Don’t tell this to that grandma. She will feel offended” ra replied as she stood up, giving up on her treatment.
“Let’s try the same tomorrow and see if you can adjust till then.” ra took her bag as he rolled his eyes.
“Problem is not with me. It’s with you as you are not able to treat me.” Alex replied with a frown. ra doesn’t feel like replying to him as she checks her watch. She tiptoed and saw Jason already there waiting for her. A big smile itched her lips, making his frown deep. He doesn’t like it at all whenever she smiles with Jason. Who is that guy by the way?
“Okay, Mr Smith. I should leave now.” ra didn’t even wait for his reply as she left his room, making him frustrated with her attitude.
*****
Edward and Alina decorated their home happily. Alina was very happy to hear ra’s cheerful voice after a long time. She even agreed to the party which she never does earlier. Maybe this change is good for her.
“Baby, can you prepare the dessert?” Alina asked sweetly.
“As if I have ever denied you!” Edward replied with a flying kiss. Alina blushed instantly.
“Edward, should we ask them about that incident again?” Alina asked Edward to cut the fruits.This is from N?velDrama.Org.
“Did you forget how ra got a panic attack when you pressured her to tell you?” Edward reminded her and both went silent for a couple of minutes recalling the day when ra went out of control. She was shivering badly that day.
“Why didn’t you ask Alex?” Alina asked with arge pout.
“He just stated that everything was because of ra. The ident and whatever happened with them was because of ra. You can never imagine what his parents meant for him” Edward ended his statement
“Everyone loves their parents like that only. Don’t just mention that he is the only kid who is very attached to his parents.” Alina is annoyed with the way Edward takes Alex’s side always whenever they take this topic.
“Alina, I didn’t” his words died when they heard the knock on the door.
“Let’s wee them now.” Alina went to wee their friends to the party.
*****
Alex stood there in a corner examining everything. He drank his drink and sat there as his pain was getting worse.
“I have a pair toe with” ra’s words were haunting him and he knew that she would being with the same guy who is picking her up.
The hall was glittering with green colour light and the disco song was loud enough to make the guys go crazy with the zone. Edward and Alina are busy hosting the party and serving everyone with everything.
The hall went silent when the song suddenly went off.
“Who has switched off the song?” Alina yelled as the DJ went to the entrance to see the speaker’s wire.
Everyone looked at the entrance as ra entered the tform. Her red long dress touched the floor wlessly. Alex’s eyes popped out seeing her in an off-shoulder dress. Her milky neck and shoulders are so tempting as it was highlighted with red colour fabric. With her minimal make-up and dark shade of lipstick, everything is just perfect and cute.
“Hi everyone” ra waved her hand as the crowd eximed loudly.
“Omg, ra, is this you?” One of her friends asked, gasping loudly. ra has never been so good during their college days. She is known for simple attire and natural beauty. But with a small effort, she stole the evening.
“You look fantabulous,” another onemented. Alex holds the ss tightly with red shot eyes. Is this her new drama? To show him how much she has changed?
“Jason, wee” Alina shook her hands with Jason. ra pulled Alina instantly.
“How do you know Jason?” ra is very possessive towards her friends. She doesn’t like to share her friends even with her friends.
“Just like that, we got to know each other and he is too sweet” Alina eximed but that didn’t go well with Edward who joined Alex at his counter to have a drink.
The party was very smooth and it was more like a college reunion for Alina and ra. As for Edward and Alex, they have had few friends to hang out with. The music was loud and everyone was enjoying it except for Alex whose stares didn’t leave ra at all. ra on the other hand makes sure to enjoy it like hell.
“You are single now, right?” One of their friends asked her as her smile vanished instantly.
“Sorry, I just wanted to ask you as there were rumours about your husband and you” Rachel replied with a smile. ra red at Alina for even inviting Rachel to this party. She is always jealous of ra and has despised her for everything.
“Guess you have been waiting for that?” ra asked back.
“Don’t tell me that all those rumours were true.” Rachel gasped loudly. They all knew that but no one was ready to believe that. ra and Alex were the sweetest couple ever and they can’t imagine them even fighting.
“Don’t get me wrong. Alex is one in a thousand. No fool would miss such an awesome person” Rachel voiced out as her stares didn’t leave Alex.
“I didn’t know that you would call clowns also to the party. I hate that” Gauri gulped her drink casually as Rachel stared angrily without realizing that it was an alcohol.
“Rachel, can you leave if you want to rant these stupid things?” Alina is pissed now. She knew how much Rachel is attracted to Alex and she was always not happy with ra Alex’s love life.
“Yeah, sure. I should leave now” Rachel now walked towards Alex, leaving ra in an attempt to make her jealous.
Looking at them, ra gulped her drink vigorously. She didn’t like how Alex is smiling after whatever he did with her. Her eyes lined up with tears recalling her dreadful night. He has no right to be happy. She stood up with only the motive to snatch that smile from his face.
