Mending Her

Chapter-06

Nyla’s P.O.V.

After I woke up, Lily was sitting beside me, along with Tina.

She is looking so angry that I feel scared.

I know I have disappointed her.

I promised her I will do nothing inappropriate, and I will move on. But every time I see him everything returns to square one.

“So what is your explanation this time,” Lily asks angrily and I gulp down my saliva

“I..I..” I stutter. I know after my ignorant stunt she is going to lash at me.

“Before you say any rubbish, let me tell you ‘I didn’t do it purposely. I can’t control my feelings. You don’t understand.’I am not listening to any of them.” She says and I nod.

“Lily I am sorry.” I look at my hands which are busy making patterns in my lap.

“You should be,” she says and I look at her.

“But...” I try to say something.

But she cuts me.

“No, but. How many times I will have to make you realize those bastards don’t even disturb your hatred. Let alone love. He is nothing but a stupid son of a b***h. It’s 8 long years Nyla. I don’t want to see you hurting yourself every time you see him.” She lashes at me and I hear her silently.

I know she cares for me. And I am grateful for that.

She is the only person who was with me when I needed the support.

And she is still supporting me, though I act stupidly.

“I am sorry Lily. This won’t happen again.” I apologize.

“No. As long as I know you, this will happen again. Get a life or I will do something that will not be something you will like.” She threatens.

“I am sorry,” I say again.

“I didn’t come here from so far just to listen to your sorry. Promise... Oh sorry, what results from the promise? After all, you will break them.” She says in a mocking tone.

“No. I didn’t break your promise. I didn’t hurt myself.” I correct her quickly.

“OH really. I found you in such a state today. It’s not hurting yourself? If I would have not come what will happen to you. You already have a fever.” She says. I was feeling sick. I know I may have a fever.

“I tried. I always tried to forget all this but...” A tear slip from my eyes.

“No but. It’s you who can decide what will you think and what will you not think. You don’t go on a blind date because you think everyone will cheat on you like him. You don’t make friends because you think they will cheat on you. What do you think? I don’t know all this? I know everything.” She says and all of her words are true.

I am afraid of love; I didn’t let anyone enter my world.

Because when they left it hurt a lot.

“No, it’s not like that.” I try to deny it.

“You know I am telling the truth. Nyla please I have told you enough. This is the last time I am warning you. If you don’t stop all this, I will break all relations with you.” she says and I look at her shocked.

But she looks determined.

“No. Give me some time Lily. I will be fine. I will move on,” I can lose her for some stupid things.

She matters a lot to me.

“Don’t you think eight years is enough?” She says, and I know it should be enough. But it’s not. My wound is still open and I want them to heal too.

“I promise. Before your marriage, I will fix myself. In your marriage, you will find me the happiest person.” I try to smile.

“OK. But this is the last time. I thought to not invite him. But now I will invite him and this is your test. I want to know what is more important to you. Our friendship or your so-called love.” she says and I nod.

I will do this. If not for me, for her.

“I will not disappoint you,” I say confidently.

“OK. Now you want to leave with me or stay here.” She asks.

“I want to stay,” I reply. I am here not only for myself. If I leave their mood will spoil too.

I will have to stay.

If not for me, for them.

“OK. then rest for some time.” She says and I nod.

“What about others? Did you tell…” I ask and she nods.

“I told them. They deserve to know.” I understand.

I know how much Sid cares for me.

But my past never let me open to anyone.

But now it can’t be avoided.

“Everyone?” I ask tensely.

“No, only Sid and Tina and Sid’s friend were also there.” She says and I feel tense.

How I will face them now?

“They will surely think bad about me,” I mutter.

“Nobody will think bad. If you would have ever faced the fact and thought out of your pitiful state, you would have noticed. The person who did wrong in them, but the person suffering is only you. Now go to sleep. I will arrange for staying here.” She says and starts to leave.

“You can stay in my room,” I say.

“Of course I will stay here. I just need to inform James,” she says and I nod.

“OK.” I may have spoiled their plan.

How long will you make mistakes Nyla?

Lily’s P.O.V.

After I come out of her room, I went to Rehan’s office

“So what’s the news? Is she Ok?” Sid asks concerned.

“She is fine now. But I want to stay here if you don’t have any problem.” I say to Sid but look at Rehan.

“No problem. Do I need to arrange a room?” Rehan asks and I shake my head.

“No. I will share with her if Tina has no problem,” I say.

“No, I don’t have any problem,” Tina looks excited.

“OK, then it’s settled.”

“I need your help,” I say to Tina, but the one reply was Rehan.

“What?” Rehan asks.

Why he is so interested in Nyla’s problem.

I don’t know why but I feel there is something fishy.

“I want to teach that jerk some lesson. It’s a long time he is happy. I don’t want him to be happy making my friend sad.” I say, and everyone nods.

“I’m in,” Rehan says first.

“We too,” Sid says and Tina nods.

“OK” I smile.

“What will you do?” Rehan asks.

“Just wait. When will he approach Nyla? According to his nature, I know that will be soon.” I never wanted to do something bad.

But I think it’s a long time since he stops messing with my friend’s life.

“Is Nyla staying?” Sid asks and I nod.

“She agreed. But I don’t know why this girl still loves that jerk that she can affect him so much.” I sigh.

“Maybe it’s not the love. It’s the betrayal.” Tina says and we look at her confused.

“What do you mean?” I ask.

“Look. After what they did to her, I don’t think any person will love him. But they were her closest person. And they hurt her the most. So it may be stuck in her hurt and whenever they meet her, she feels the pain every time. She may be don’t love him. It’s the memory that bug on her mind.” Her words have a point.

Why I never think that way before.

“You are right. Why didn’t I think about this.” But it makes sense why Nyla bottled up all her feelings.

Because she is afraid of that same pain this is still fresh.

“If we can take the pain out of her maybe she will feel free from this pain,” Rehan says.

“But how?” I ask.

I don’t have any idea how can I make her free from this pain.

“Maybe she needs to vent her anger on her. If she lashes out her anger, she will be free.” Tina suggests.

“I don’t know, but we can try. But there is a problem. As much as I know, she will never misbehave with them.” She is too much innocent to do something like that.

“OK. Let’s try at least.” Tina says and I nod.

“So that plan is....” Tina says her plan is how we will make her do that.
