Can You Mend My Broken Heart? - Chapter 554

“Hello”

“It’s me. David!”

“I know it’s you, David. Do you think I have deleted your number from my phone?” asked Dr. Nelson.

“Erm… well small talk apart there is something that you need to know. There is something with which I need your urgent help.”

“Right now? I have a class in like four minutes David. Can it wait?”

“No!” denied David with a heavy tone and Dr. Nelson immediately understood that something was off and his heart dreaded for the worst.

“Does she…”

“She does. She just left alone in a flight to London. But that’s not the scary part.”

“Then what is?” asked a worried Dr. Nelson.

“Sebastian might try to harm her.”

“But why?”

“Does that man have a reason, like ever?”

“What should I do? Does Raymond know?”

“He doesn’t. At least not yet because Akira had switched off her phone. They didn’t get to talk,” David replied even though he was now worried. If Vikram had dared to speak once, then he could do so again.”

“Then tell me what should I do? I don’t think I can console her or…I mean I don’t if I am the right person here. Can we get Mike here?”

“There is no time for that Dr. Nelson and if there is anyone who can tame the storm inside her, then that’s you. Please make sure she gets out of the airport, even before anyone gets to her.”

“How can I do that?”

“I have told Sebastian that she will get down in London. But I have booked the next flight for you both to New York. They will search for her in London and that will buy us some time.”

Dr. Nelson stayed silent for a moment. He was unable to process so much information at one go. But deep down he was torn, unable to imagine what must be going on in her mind.

Taking a deep breath, he replied, “I will start for the airport now.”

After hearing what Vikram had to say, Raymond slumped on the floor of the airport, dropping the phone from his hand. He couldn’t believe what he heard.

‘Smash’

The screen of his phone broke into pieces in no time and as soon as that happened, he started to panic. That phone was his database for knowing the faces of people.

And just like that suddenly he felt his world had started to crumble. Everything became hazy and the next thing he knows, he blacked out.

Airport authorities immediately took him to the hospital wing, meanwhile, his phone kept ringing. With great difficulty one of the staff of the hospital was able to attend that call.

“Hello, Raymond!”

“Hello, who is this?”

“Who are you and where is Raymond?”

“Are you a friend of his or family?” the staff asked and instantly David felt a lump in his throat.

“Friend… What’s wrong with him. Why you have his phone?”

“Actually, he blacked out at the airport, so we have brought it to our hospital wing. Nothing to worry about. No injuries. He will wake up in a few hours. We have put him on a drip. But his phone is damaged so in case you want to contact him, call the paramedic wing of Norway airport.”

‘Come on Raymond. You cannot break. Not now. Not like this. You have to stand for Akira Raymond. Don’t back out now’

Holding his temple in his hands, David tried to talk with Raymond in his head, but in vain.

If he had things under his control, he would have teleported himself and be next to him. So the next thing that he did was to book a ticket for himself for Norway.

About an hour later, Raymond opened his eyes and found himself in a hospital. Panic-stricken he looked at his watch and realized that he had missed the flight.

Sitting on the bed, he picked up his broken phone and looked at it helplessly before leaving for the help desk.

“How can I help you, sir!”

“I need a ticket to New York. The earliest possible flight!”

“There is one flight that leaves in forty minutes. If you want we can quickly book it and I will request a priority check-in for you.”

Raymond just nodded.

There was no way he was going back after her to London. There was no way that she will forgive him. Like ever. And he knew very well that if he tried to go after her, then he would be just increasing her pain.

So even though his heart was dying from inside to have a glimpse of her, to seek her forgiveness, he decided to let her mourn alone with a hope that maybe with time she might be able to forgive him one day.

“Here you go, sir!”

“Thank you!” he said and took the tickets from her.

After his check-in was done, he immediately went to the Apple Store and got a phone for himself, and called up David.

On the first ring itself, David picked it up.

“Hello! Is he up?”

“It’s me, David.”

“Raymond. You are up? I am coming there, don’t worry. Will reach in a few hours. I am already at JFK.”

“No need David. I am coming back.”

David heard him and stayed silent for a second.

“You are not going after her?”

“No David. Right now my presence would be the worst thing that can happen to her. I think she needs some time for herself. Just let her be.”

“You are not angry with me Raymond?”

“Angry… How can I be angry with you when you have tried to shield me from all this for so long. I should have understood that there was something on me that Vikram knew about that I didn’t. He didn’t come to the wedding empty-handed. I should have tried to figure it out.”

David stayed silent again, unable to fathom what sort of love and patience that man harbored in his heart for Akira.
