Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

503 To the new beginnings - 2

"You know why I did it right?" David asked her with a low tone as she started to walk away.

Turning back Akira let out a gasp of air and then said,

"I know it well. You have always rooted for him. And I am glad in a way that you did that. I didn't want him to have any misunderstanding and you helped to clear it up as fast as possible."

A slight smile etched on the face of David as he heard her speak.

"Don't smile yet David. I haven't forgiven you ditching me and supporting Raymond. You even planned along with Dr. Nelson to block from his room. Gosh !!! you have become a Brutus for me," said Akira and paced next to him along the corridor.

Holding a long face, David asked,

"I never intended to hurt you. If there is anything that I can do to help..."

And suddenly Akira's eyes lighted up in a twinkle.

"Then follow me and redeem yourself," said Akira and marched ahead.

"Gosh what is going on in her mind," thought David to himself while following her silently because whenever she had that smile on her face, she was never up to something straight.

Akira started walking towards her chamber and David followed. But Akira could sense that he was texting someone, so she halted abruptly and turned back,

"Seriously David, after all this talk you are again going to tell him about this meeting as well? I gave you a chance to redeem yourself, but it looks like you want to throw it away out of the window."

"Erm... I wasn't texting. I was just paying my postpaid bill. See.."

Saying that David flashed his phone screen in front of her. It was indeed the T-mobile payment page.

"Oh... I see," she said and stormed ahead all embarrassed for accusing David out of the blue.

"Looks like you in for a roll today," thought David and entered inside.

As David sat on the couch, Akira who was still pacing in the room, came and sat next to him and said,

"See David, this time, I swear to God, this time you can't tell Raymond about it."

"Okkaaayyyyy...", stuttered a nervous David and then asked, "But first I need to know what is it about."

And then Akira started narrating the whole idea that she had. The more she spoke, the bluer David's face turned. And at one point even with the air conditioning, he started sweating.

"Are you ok David?"

"Well.. um.. yeah. Perfectly fine."

"So you can keep it a secret and help me out, right?" Asked Akira with a voice filled with hope.

Taking a deep breath David said, "Totally ... Mum is the word. But Akira are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, David... and you got to help me out with it." Akira pleaded.

The next morning Conrad came to visit his brother again at the penitentiary.

Seeing him arrive, Sebastian's eyes lit up with hope and he asked,

"Did you convince him?"

Conrad nodded and said, "There is a doctor, Dr. Nelson, he has agreed to help us out. David has already convinced him and even though he was the one who was initially helping him to recover his memories, he has agreed to block it again for the sake of my boy."

"Your boy?" asked Sebastian with a bit of resentment in his voice.

"Yes, my boy. Why can't you accept that he is my son Conrad? Why can't you accept that no matter how you tried to shape him, he got my characteristics?" Asked Conrad and came close to the bars of the prison.

Seeing his brother who had spent more than half of his life rolling on money in such inhospitable conditions, the rage that had just pent up inside of him, cooled down.

Taking a deep breath he continued,

"Let's not fight over these silly things brother. There are more important things in life to deal with. Did you talk with your lawyer?"

Sebastian also calmed down a bit and replied,

"Yes, I have met him. I will be out from here in a couple of days. But just tell me for sure, you have taken care of it for real right?"

"Yes Sebastian, I have. The whole past will stay locked between us. Anyways even with his syndrome, Raymond has been able to cope up with his day to day life perfectly. Once his memory is suppressed then all of this will just go away."

Sebastian listened to him in silence and then asked after a brief pause,

"What about that girl? Are we going to let him be with her? Are you not going to do anything about it?"

"No, Sebastian !!! Do not even dare to have that thought in your head. You have no idea how does it feel when you lose someone whom you love madly. He will break if he loses Akira. She is like the blood that makes his heart, beat. So shrug off these thoughts from your head. Nothing will happen if Raymond doesn't remember a thing about the past."

Conrad said and then decided to make a move.

"Think about what I just said, Sebastian. Think form the perspective of a human. I know once you are out from the shackles, you will be free to do anything, but just think before doing anything rash. Don't do something that you can't even look into the eyes of Raymond.

"Just think about it", saying that Conrad turned towards the main room to make an exit when he heard his voice,

"I also know what it feels like losing someone who you love more than anything else in your life. I have lost her too."

Said Sebastian and walked back to the desolate corner of the cell, to continue starting at those blank walls.
