Can You Mend My Broken Heart? Chapter 18
Advertisement
Raymond dropped her grumpy niece at his sister's place. His sister Katherine asked him to come inside and join them for dinner but he didn't want to. "Go away uncle," screamed Kate and stormed inside. He threw an apologetic look at her sister and said -"Work emergency. Will take her next time. I promise". "Don't make promises you can't keep Ray. Anyways drive safe", said Katherine and waved at him.
He didn't wave back at her. He just nodded and sped through to reach his house as soon as possible. He wasn't able to grasp why her proximity with another guy was affecting him so much. He threw his jacket away and went to his bedroom and flung himself on the bed. His mind was recapping the whole thing again and again. How that guy was hugging her, how he pulled her close and how he undid her ponytail. He didn't realize he had tugged the sheets so bad that they were almost about to get ripped.
It wasn't like he was in love with her or something, but he was filled with disgust. He was reacting like it was her woman who cheating behind his back. He pulled the side drawer and took out the letter Akira had written for Raymond. He re-read it again and again. There was so much pain in the letter. After reading the letter for the first time he felt that she had dedicated her life for that guy and nobody else had mattered to her. But after what he saw at the Karaoke place, it all seemed fake to him. He couldn't believe that it was her whom he had met on the flight.
"How could she move on so fast and start a fling with another guy?", he thought. He got all the more reasons to distance himself from women now. "They seriously can't be trusted", he thought. But what affected him the most was that he thought that she was different from all. He felt she was not like other plastic and makeup-clad vain women walking on eggshells all around. He was drawn towards her simplicity and her innocence. He wondered if any of it was real. The whole flight journey, which he was treasuring like one his best memories now appeared sour.

When he couldn't find her at the Airpor Exit he was restless. He couldn't believe that their journey ended so abruptly. He so badly wanted to meet her. But now that he did, he wished that he hadn't. At least he could have had the incomplete happy memories to cherish.
He sighed and took the letter and tore it into pieces. Every tear looked like he was venting out his anger. He threw it all into the dustbin. Then he recollected that he had her Boarding pass too. He turned to take that out and destroy as well. He was so angry that he wanted to remove all her traces from his life. But then he said to himself - "You deserve this." He kept it with himself to remember to never let his guard down.
Then he went to take bath to calm himself down.
After he came out from bath he diverted all his focus on his next investment meeting. He had one week to complete the new plan and approach Abacus Inc for investments. He was back in form and switched to his workaholic beast mode.
