Mending Her

Chapter-13

Rehan’s P.O.V.

It’s been a week since I meet Nyla.

I think I shouldn’t have asked the question.

But after that what we talked it changed my view of thinking.

She is hurt. Too much hurt that we can’t even imagine.

She yearns for love.

She needs someone who can love her by asking for nothing in return.

But she is too much afraid of the pain love has given her last times.

I know she is the girl who will love me back ten times more. I will like her.

Maybe she is broken. But I wanted to be the glue that sticks her broken pieces.

I wanted to be the person who helps in mending her.

There is a saying people can’t love their first love.

But I believe that if they get someone who can love them enough, their love can be the ultimate thing that lasts for the life.

I don’t want to be her first love.

I want to be the person who will love her, to the level that I will be her last.

When I was lost in my thought my secretary knocks on my door.

“Come in,” I say and compose myself.

I was so lost in my thought that I couldn’t do any work all day.

I thought she was just an infatuation.

But I fall for her In just a few hours.

She has occupied my mind permanently and I know I can’t get rid of that in my lifetime.

“Sir, Sid sir has here to meet you. But you have a meeting in fifteen minutes.” She says, not sure what to do.

“Send him in and never ask me to send him in,” I say, and dismiss her.

She said a short sorry and leave my office after closing the door.

This secretary just joined the job as my previous secretary is on maternity leave.

So she doesn’t know how close Sid is to me.

He never needs my permission to come here.

“Oh, big boss. Now I need to ask for your permission to enter your office?” Sid says in a taunting manner and I huff.

I know he is going to nag about this for a long time.

“Don’t mind her. She is new, so don’t know about us.” I say, and he smiles.

“It’s Ok. But she is hot,” he says mischievously.

I know it’s his normal routine to tease me. But he is not a p*****t at all.

I know he loves his wife more than anything and her wife loves him too.

“Don’t start. Your wife knows that how you check out girls outside?” I threaten him.

“Shut up. I am talking about you,” he says.

“I don’t want to hear that from you again. You know I don’t date with my secretary.” I say annoyed.

“I also know that you never date.” He complains and I know he is trying to act as cupid and I am sure going to give him a chance.

“It can change now,” I say, and he gives me a surprised look.

“Wow, who is the lucky girl?” he asks.

“Nyla. I told you in the resort.” I say and his mouth opens with shock.

“You are still stuck there. I agree Nyla is a good girl. But she needs a lot of work and I don’t think you have that time.” he says and I know what he is implying.

But if the effort I put into her helps me get her love, I want to do that.

“I don’t have time but I can make time for her,” I say.

“s**t, you are whipped. Best of luck friend.” he pats my hand and I smile.

“I need your help,” I say, and he looks excited.

“What help?” He asks.

“I want to meet her but I don’t know how! Can you arrange something?” he asks.

“Simple. My anniversary is in next week. I came to invite you. Though you never come, I think this will change this year.” He says mockingly.

Every year, he invites me to his anniversary party.

But I pass it with an excuse.

He is my good friend, and I will do anything for him.

But this party is not my thing, and he knows that.

“Ok. I know I am a terrible friend.” I raise my hand in surrender.

“I am not saying that. It’s on Saturday at ‘Hell’s club’.” he reminds me and I nod.

“Ok, I will be there, and thanks.” I smile at him.

“Don’t thank me yet. I am just doing it this time. But next time you will have to make your way on your own.” He says “Ok,” I say and give him a bro hug.

So this Saturday is my chance. I know I have to take this chance and make it worth it.

In a blink, Saturday came.

Sid’s party was at a bar.

So I wear a casual white shirt with jeans.

Normally I wouldn’t have gone to this party because I don’t like all this.

But as Nyla will be there I am going.

I haven’t planned anything that I will do.

But I know I want to see her.

Only this reason is enough to go there I think.

When I reach there, it’s already around 11.

So the complete bar is blasting with people.

I look around but couldn’t find anyone.

So they may be upstairs in a private room.

So I take the stairs and went upstairs.

Though the private rooms are separated from the outside, you can see through the glass wall, but nobody can see you from outside.

So I ask a waiter to show me the room they have booked.

When I enter the room, there are not so many people.

I see Sid standing with her wife and wish her.

“Rehan I am blessed. You came to our anniversary party?” Sid’s wife, Joe, says teasingly.

“Don’t flatter yourself. He didn’t come for us.” Sid cut her words.

“Who is the lucky girl who can bring your boring friend to the bar?” She asks Sid.

“Nyla.” He says and sign me to look over.

My eyes are searching for her from the time I enter here.

But she was not here, so I look back.

There standing Nyla wearing a black sleeveless dress.

Her dress reaches above her knee by which you can see her slender legs.

Her neckline is showing her cleavage slightly, which is giving her a modest look.

Her hair is tied in a messy bun, and she has worn light makeup.

I can’t move my eyes from her.

But when she is close Sid shakes me by my shoulder, and I compose myself. I don’t want her to think I am staring at her, Which I am doing.

“Hello, happy anniversary Sid and Joe.” She greeted with a smile.

“Hello, Nyla. Why are you late?” Joe complains, and Nyla looks over at Sid.

“Sorry, it’s my fault. Today I had to attend a meeting, but as I have spent all day with you, Nyla has to go there.” Sid says in surrender and Joe glare at him.

“You always do that. Why do you have to set a meeting today?” Joe complain.

“It’s Ok Joe. Now I am here right. The meeting was important and unexpected. So I went there.” Nyla sides with Sid.

“Ok now, don’t spoil your mood baby. You told me to remind you, you have something to talk about with Nyla.” Sid says

Nyla and Joe went together to sit in a corner. Joe wink me before leaving. I don’t know why.

But it gives me a chance to admire her beauty.
