Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

108 CAN YOU MEND MY BROKEN HEART?

A part of him died when she kept the call. A part of him felt being sucked into a black hole of pain and despair. She was like a promise that he couldn't keep, a promise that was meant to be treasured till death did them apart. He smashed his phone out of anger and then punched the wall.

Red wetness started oozing out but he couldn't feel even an ounce of pain as his whole body had been rendered numb because of the pain that was suffocating his heart.

"Akira!!! What have I done !!!", he whispered under his breath and slumped into his chair.

The moment she disconnected the call, she felt like she had been bereft of the right to feel happy again. His words echoed again and again and sucked out the very last remnants of happiness from her heart. She took deep breaths but all that she could picture was an image of Scarlett and Raymond holding their baby together and smiling all lovingly at each other. They were the perfect representation of a happy family.

She knew what was the importance of a perfect family. She knew the importance of having parents for she was herself deprived of that happiness. She loathed herself for even having the thoughts of being with Raymond, for even thinking to be intimate with him when he had a family waiting in line for him.

"I will not come in your way, Raymond. I promise. You, Scarlett and your baby, you deserve to stay happy. I will make sure you stay happy", she said and took out her diary from her bag and tore a couple of pages and threw them into Dustbin.

David, who was standing in the corner, could sense from afar that something wasn't right with her. She seemed very disturbed. He saw her all restless, tearing page after page from a notebook and throwing into the dustbin like she was shipping away fragments of memories into the distance which were not dear to her.

Then he saw her get up and move down to Simon's desk and he decided to leave the graphics wing.

"Hey, Simon !!! Do you have any other pending work that I can complete? Just want to have a more productive day", she said and looked at him with anticipation.

"Yeah sure sure !!! There is this character that I am working on but the palette work is pending. Can you complete it? I will explain to you the theme of the design", Simon said.

"Sure", Akira said and made herself busy with work.

Scarlett came running into the room when she heard the sound from Raymond's study room.

"What happened baby?", she asked all worried and when she saw his wounded hand she freaked out.

"Nothing happened. Just some frustration in office", Raymond said all irritated. He hated the sight of her.

"Why did she have to come back into my life and ruin everything?", he thought with remorse and closed his eyes and then suddenly blurted out,

"Why you came back now? Why couldn't you come a week earlier?", he asked her in despair but the next instant he regretted his words. But there was no way to retract them back.

"Because ....", she stopped and tears welled in her eyes thinking that he could even ask such a question to her.

"I am sorry!!! I didn't mean it that way. Probably I just need some rest", Raymond said and stormed out of the room.

Scarlett stood there dumbstruck with his behavior.

"Have you really fallen for her to such an extent that I can't bring you back Ray", she whispered into nothingness and her face fell. She then wiped away her tears and took out her phone and texted to a PRIVATE NUMBER.

"Mission 1 done. I am back at his house"

"Mission 3 also done today. They have been ripped apart"

She then went in search of a first-aid box to dress his wounds.

A part of him danced in joy but then he suddenly realized that she would definitely be in pain. So he immediately texted her,

"Hey there!!! Free today evening!!!" - Vikram

She saw his message but she was in no mood to go out anywhere.

"Sorry, Vikram!!! Tied up with work. Maybe next time?" - Akira

He sighed after seeing her message. He wanted to run down to her office and hug her tight and absorb away all the pain that she had in her heart. But you can't always do what you want, so he stayed back in his office silently, waiting for her to heal, waiting for her to be ready to accept him.

She replied and kept her phone down.

It was already 6:30 pm. So she picked up her bag and left for the day. She didn't know how she drove herself back, but the moment she reached home, she slumped on her bed. She didn't even bother to talk with Mike, who was surprised to see her mood swinging full 180 degrees from morning to evening.

"Maybe it's her mood swinging up and down", he thought to himself and kept quiet.

She then picked up her notebook and started pouring her heart out. She felt a bit better after doing so. So she opened up her laptop and started jotting down a few lines on her blog page.

CAN YOU MEND MY BROKEN HEART

(Dedicated to someone who made my heart flutter every single day that I was with him. I knew he was never mine, to begin with, but I still fell for him. So I guess it's all my fault, in the end, and I am the only one to be blamed. But I hope against hope that in next life you give me a chance first to be a part of your life. No pressure though !!!)

My curiosity never knew your bounds,

My heart spun as I heard your heart make the sound,

Naive I ignored the fact that,

There was no U-turn, you were never coming around.

I knew the road I took was difficult from the start,

I will take my chances and silently depart,

I just have one question though,

Can you mend my broken heart?
