Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

14 Home is where the heart is

Near the exit, Akira started searching for her brother in the crowd. Just when she was about to call him, she caught a glimpse of him. He was waving madly at her. She rushed to hug him.

Mike was surprised to see the condition of her sister. She was in her pajamas with her hair in a messy bun. She was wearing bathroom slippers. He felt so sad just by looking at her. She was his only family and he felt that he had let her down. He couldn't protect her. The moment she came near him, he embraced her in a warm hug. He didn't say a word and let her hug him tightly. Moments later he could feel his t-shirt getting wet with her sorrows. His fists clenched in anger momentarily but didn't let his rage cloud his thoughts. He said - "Wanna go for karaoke tonight?"

She suddenly laughed and said - "Yeah, Right !!!".

She laughed and hugged him again. She felt comforted. He was her home, her everything, her lifeline. She wiped up her tears and asked him - "Have you eaten?" "Of course!!!" he replied. "You think I am mad to wait for you without eating anything?", he added. But before he could finish his sentence his stomach growled. Akira laughed and said -"Looks like we need to make a stop at McDonald's first. My baby soldier needs ammo". Mike hung his head low. Akira ruffled his hair and handed him her purse and pouted - "What kind of soldier lets the queen carry her luggage?" Mike laughed at her childish behavior but deep down he knew she was doing all this to lighten up his mood. He put his arm around her and said- "After you my lady".

They started walking towards the Taxi stand.

Before walking away she turned back again as if she was searching for something, but she couldn't find what she was looking for. She sighed and turned back. A part of her was a bit angry. She didn't get his name. She didn't get to thank him. He didn't he even bother to say goodbye? Did he have to be so cold in the end?

Maybe that's how rich guys like him act. She concluded and put an end to her trail of thoughts.

Raymond took his check-in baggage and walked towards to exit. His driver was waiting for him. His eyes started scanning the exit area but she was no-where to be seen. Reluctantly he asked his driver to start. He then took out the letter which Akira had dropped and looked at it. For a moment he thought it was impolite to read someone's personal letter, but the next moment he was already through the second line of the letter.

With every passing line, he could feel the pain that she had been suppressing in her heart. After finishing the letter he felt even more distraught. He felt bad for the way they parted their ways. Why did he decide to leave abruptly? Why did he turn cold? He could have at least said a "Bye". How could he act like a stone cold person when she had so much going on in her life. He instantly regretted and sincerely wished if he could have done things differently.

He carefully folded the letter and kept in the pocket of his jacket. He felt bad for the guy for loosing out on such a nice girl. It all felt strange to him. It was hardly 10 minutes that he had left the airport but he was already longing for her company somehow. But there was no way to get her back.
