Bewitched His Soul

Dimitri noticed his wife Aurora was in a very good mood from morning.

"You look happy ,"Dimitri stated.

"When am I not ,"Aurora was instructing the maids to set the table for lunch.

"Are you waiting for some news.You keep on checking your phone ", Dimitri said.

He thought it may be work related .Few years back Aurora had taken over the director position in the hospital and had made so many changes in the management that the Healthcare magazine has awarded her hospital as no 1 in the city.

Aurora just smiled at him and refused to say anything .Dimitri did not ask her again as he know eventually she will tell him.

Dimitri , Aurora and Logan were having lunch when Aurora's phone rang and she immediately got up and ran to fetch her phone .Dimitri frowned as he know his wife will not attend any calls during meals but today she looked so eager to take the call.

Ten minutes later Aurora returned and her whole aura has different .It's like in few minutes the weather changed from sunny to cloudy leaving everyone depressed. Aurora's face was dull and slowly sat back in the chair .

"What happened sweetheart ,"Dimitri squeezed her palm.

"Its Enzo , what am I going to do with him,"Aurora put her hand over her forehead.

"Calm down , what did he do now ,"Enzo asked.

"Do you remember Marley , your business associate's daughter ,"Aurora asked and after few seconds Dimitri nodded his head telling her to continue .

"She came to my hospital few days back for a checkup .We had a little chat and I felt she is a nice girl . And surprisingly she hinted that she is interested in Enzo. I gave her Enzo's address and told she can meet him for a coffee , if things go well between them then its fine otherwise we can just forget about it.

That girl went to meet Enzo yesterday ,not only he rejected her without giving her a chance but also humiliated her very badly.Poor girl she was crying over the phone and told Enzo may be in love with other person and that's the reason for his cold behavior .

When I said that's not possible because if Enzo had a girlfriend we could have been aware of it. But Marley said Enzo himself told that he is seeing someone .Now tell me why did he lie , is he planning to remain single all his life .

Neither does he choose a girlfriend nor he lets me choose one ,"Aurora complained.

Dimitri being in the business field know how to judge people and one look at anyone he guessed  their intentions. He never had a good opinion about Marley , there was too much greed in her eyes and even her fake sweet smile cannot hide it.

"May be that girl would have pestered Enzo too much ,so to kill all her hope  he must have said that ,"Dimitri replied.

"I don't think so , Enzo's personality is so aloof that it makes anyone difficult to get closer to him ,"Aurora stated.

"Aurora you are well aware of Enzo's stubbornness , the more you force something onto him the more he will rebel. So it's better to let him decide when he wants to settle down ,"Dimitri said .

He had seen Enzo from much more closer than his wife so he know it was impossible to make Enzo do something which he did not want to. Dimitri was never worried about his son's marriage unlike Aurora because he was sure that Enzo will wait until he met the one rather than marring anyone just because of some society norms.

It was no use to force their opinion on Enzo as he was smart enough to know what type of  life partner was suitable for him.

"Do you think may be Enzo is telling truth this time ,"Aurora asked.

Logan was having his lunch and did not heed any attention to his parents as his mother's cribbing about Enzo's marriage was a daily occurrence at home.

But now he became alert when his mother almost guessed about Enzo's relationship status.

Aurora first looked at her husband who did not comment anything then she turned towards her younger son.

"Logan , what do you think.Your brother could have at least said  something to you .Is he dating someone ,"Aurora asked.

"Mom ,I …I am not sure .You know how bro is , he keeps his life so private even I am not aware of anything .I think dad was right , Enzo could have lied so that Marley will stop brothering him ," Logan spoke in a single breath.

"Aurora , stop worrying .Now finish your meal, we can think about Enzo later ,"Dimitri consoled her.

"Ya , "Aurora said halfheartedly and continued eating.

Logan let out his breath and relaxed seeing his mother was no more questioning him about Enzo's affairs .He thought there must be a reason for Enzo to hide his relationship from everyone so he does not want  to be the one to break the news .

Knowing Enzo's temper it was not wise to mess with him .Enzo has already warned him to keep his mouth shut and Logan truly feared his elder brother as his ruthlessness know no bounds.

Aurora was lost in her thoughts but Dimitri who was sharp as an eagle did not miss anything including Logan's tensed behavior when Aurora questioned him.

Logan looked nervous and blabbered something as if he wanted to get out of this situation as soon as possible. And the relived look on Logan's face when Aurora ended this discussion.

Dimitri gave one last glance at Logan and thought there was something fishy .It felt like he was hiding something from all .

Today the results will be announced and Hazel was very tensed . She got up early and sat in front of the computer ..She even refused to have breakfast but Ava brought the food to her room , gave her encouragement that the results will be in her favor , told not to worry much as its out of her hands now and after consoling for a long time Hazel had her breakfast.
