Destined to be

chapter 11

Clara " I have known you for years . I know you are an introvert and you have a small circle and I know all the people in that circle , I can say this for sure and this girl was never in your circle before . "

Steven " What do you want to say ? Please be clear . "

Clara " Are you cheating on me with her ? ? ? ? ? "

Steven " What ? Are you mad ? "

Clara " Is this your baby ? "

Steven " I don't want to answer that . Think what ever you want . And just remember one thing Emily is not going anywhere if anyone has any problem with it then they are free to go . "

Clara " So you are saying that I shall leave ? "

Steven " I don't remember taking your name but if you want then move out . . . . . . . . "

Clara " Ok then why to just move out from your house I will move out from your life . I think we should call off the wedding . "

Steven " You are clever enough to make decisions for yourself . I promised you that I will give you everything you want , If that's what you want then I am fine with it . "

Clara " Ok then ! "

( Clara walks out )

Emily " Stop her , Clara , Clara , please don't leave like this . "

Steven " Emily listen to me ."

Emily " What should I listen ? Why you didn't stop her ? Oh God i shouldn't have come here . First you fought with your dad because of me and now Clara called off the wedding because of me . It's all my fault . "

Steven " No Emily nothing is your fault . I brought you here . "

Emily " What about Clara ? "

Steven " There is nothing to worry about her . Everything she said was in anger , she didn't meant anything . "

Emily " She walked out on you ? "

Steven " No she didn't . I know she acts a bit possessive but that is because she loves me and she don't want to loose me . "

Emily " Has it happened before ? "

Steven " Ones or twice may be but we always find way back to each other . "

Emily " Oh my God ! What kind of relationship are you in . Your partner don't trust you and keep on humiliating you . "

Steven " All relationships are build on compromise . "

Emily " No they are not relationships are build on trust . "

Steven " Says the one who has never been in a relationship . "

Emily " Now I think that you are in a toxic relationship . "

Steven " No I am not . "

Emily " Yes , you are . Toxic relationships end no where . "

Steven " We are not in a toxic relationship . We are very happy together . Every on has some flaws . When you are in a relationship you should learn to accept your partner's flaws . I spend 18 hours a day working and I get very irritating when I am in stress . She stays with me then . I have seen a broken marriage . I don't want to have one myself . "

Emily " But . . . . . . . . . . . "

Steven " I don't want to take relationships advice from a person who has never been in a relationship . "

Emily " if that's what you want . "

Steven " You never leave people you love , you find reasons to stay and I am madly in love with her and so does she . You change when you are in love , you become a better person . "

Emily " Yes love changes a person for sure but not sure if you become a better version of yourself . "

Steven " I will ask this question to you when you will be in love . I am sure you will have a different answer then . "

Emily " Ya we will see . "

Steven " Good night I will see you in morning . "

Steven went to his room ,

Clara " Hey Steven ! "

Steven " Clara you still here , I thought you must have left . "

Clara " Steven ! ! ! ! ! ! ! "

Steven " Didn't you call off our wedding ? "

Clara " I am sorry I know I was a b***h earlier . "

Steven " Yes you were . "

Clara " I am so sorry . I know I shouldn't have reacted that way . "

Steven " Yes you shouldn't have . "

Clara " I am sorry . I guess I was jealous . "

Steven " Have I ever given you a reason ? I love you , I have always loved you . "

Clara " I know that . "

Steven " I guess after all these years I have earned your trust . "

Clara " I love you . "

Steven " You love me but you don't trust me . Love and trust go hand in hand . If you don't trust me this means that you don't love me . This means that nothing was between us all these years . All these years were just waste of time . "

Clara " No they weren't . I love you , I love you so much that I just can't afford to lose you . And I trust you more than I love you . "

Steven " I am still angry . "

Clara " Aw my baby is angry with me . "

Steven " Don't even try that . "

( Clara pulled Steven closer to her . )

Clara " What should I not try ? "

( She touched Steven's lips gently . )

Steven " Whatever you are trying . "

Clara " I am not trying anything . "

Steven " You know what your sweet talks are not going to melt my heart . This time it's not going to be easy for you . "

Clara " Oh I see but you know what I know how to melt your heart . "

Steven " Really , so what are you going to do exactly ? "

Clara " Well for starters I have brought your wine . We can get cozy on your couch and drink it and then . . . . . . . . . . . "

Steven " And then what . . . . . . . . . "

Clara " I will push you down on the bed and lay over you and . . . . . "

Steven " And . . . . . . "

Clara " I guess I will show it two you . "

Steven " That's what you do always . First you make me angry and then you talk sweetly and that makes me forget I was ever angry . "

Clara whispers in his ears .

Clara " I know I am stubborn but this is what you will have to deal with your entire life . It's not going to be easy . Don't cry later that I didn't warn you . You still have time run if you want . "

Steven " Well you know what , I can be really mean and rude sometimes and you will have to deal with it your entire life . It's not be going to be easy on you too . So why don't we both just stay here with each other because I know that we will deal with each other's flaws after all we have years . "

Clara " I love you , Steven . "

Steven " I have a surprise for you . "

Clara " A surprise . . . . . What is it ? "

Steven " You know I am not so romantic . I can plan international meetings but I don't know how to plan a date . I don't know how to write poetry or song for you that could tell you how much I love you and how much you mean to me . I still have made an effort . . . . . . . . . . . "

Clara " I know that you don't have to do anything . "

Steven " Open the first chain of my bag . I have brought something for you . "

Clara " Oh my God , I like the suspense . "

Clara opens the chain and she saw a ring .

Clara " Oh my god , Oh my god , Steven it's such a beautiful ring but why have you brought it we are already engaged . "

Steven " You know that was more like a formal announcement . The CEO of ' Etoile Group ' is engaged to the daughter of the owner of ' Melange Industries ' . I didn't even got a chance to chose a ring for you and I I know you always wanted a fairytale proposal so I have made an effort . I know it's not how you wanted it to be . "

Clara " Shh ! ! ! ! ! Don't say a word more . It's exactly how I wanted it to be . It's perfect . You and me that's all I ever wanted . "

Steven " You like the ring . "

Clara " It's beautiful . Oh god I love you so much . "

Clara ran to Steven and jumped on him . She rested her lips upon his .

Steven got on his knees ,

Steven " Clara I want to ask something from you , nothing much just 50 - 60 years of your life . Miss Clara Davies will you be Mrs. Clara Thomson . "

Clara sits on his laps .

Clara " Oh god Yes ! I never thought that I will ever see this side of you . I am falling for you all over again . Just be the same always . "

Steven wraps Clara in his arms .

Clara " Promise me that you will love me like this always . "

Steven " No I won't . "

Clara " What ? ? ? ? ? ? "
