Mending Her

Chapter-05

Nyla’s P.O.V.

After I talk to Lily, my mood became better, so I went out.

I meet Tina outside.

I was feeling guilty because of how I behaved with her.

So I went to her and apologize.

“Sorry, Tina. I was not feeling good. But sorry for how I talk to you.” I say with a guilty conscience.

“It’s OK. I should have understood. That you were feeling off.” She says and I feel more guilty.

She is a good person. I shouldn’t have to behave with her like that.

“No. It’s not your fault. I just was in a bad mood.” I say sadly.

“OK. Now cheer up and don’t spoil our trip. Let’s have fun.” She says cheerfully and I smile.

“OK,” I agree and start to walk with her.

We walk around the beach and talk a lot.

In this office, Tina is the person with whom you can talk a lot and you don’t have to think if she will mind.

When we are returning to our room, I heard someone calling me.

I turn and froze in my place

John. I was right. I saw him earlier. Chloe was also clinging to him.

Of course, they are a couple.

But it feels like the pain I thought I have forgotten, I start to feel again

I don’t know how I stand there but thank god Sid come to my rescue.

After I enter my room, I enter the shower and open the shower, and started to cry

I knew this would happen when I will see him

I am always afraid that he will again shake me and the wall I have built all these years will be broken.

How can they be so happy breaking me into pieces and standing in front of me with no remorse?

I don’t know how long I cried.

Every time I see him this happened I don’t know why I can’t forget him all these years

Lily’s P.O.V.

Why doesn’t this jerk leave her alone

Why he can’t mind his own business.

He did all the wrongs. But Nyla is suffering all these years.

I knew what will happen if they meet.

The last time she tried to suicide. I need to go there quickly.

After I enter the resort, I see Sid standing there tensed

“What happened? Where is Nyla?” I run to him and ask.

“In her room,” Sid says, his face is not looking good.

“I am taking her. She can’t be here.” I say and started to walk inside.

“Lily...” He stops me and I look at him impatiently.

“Nyla meet with him. From her expression, I know she is not alright.” He says.

Why the f**k this always happen to her.

“s**t. I told you to do a simple job.” I snap and he looks guilty.

“When I came here, they are already talking.” He says. I know it’s not his fault. He cares about Nyla.

“This Jerk. Why can’t he mind his own business? Where is Nyla?” I ask tensely.

“In her room,” he says

“Alone?” I ask, and he nods.

“Tell me where is the room. We can’t leave her alone.”

God knows what will she do. I can’t trust this girl.

“Let me take you there,” Tina says and I nod.

I walk with her inside.

When I and Tina enter the room, Nyla was not in the room.

“Where is she?” I ask, but she looks clueless.

“She came here. Maybe she is in the shower. The sound of water...” She shows me the bathroom.

I ran to the bathroom and open the door.

I saw her curling on the floor and all soaked.

“Nyla. Why are you here like this.” I quickly stop the shower and take her in my arm.

“Lily,” she whispers, seeing me, but she is not fine.

I help her get up and bring her to the room

“Tina, can you help me change her?” I ask and she comes forward.

We change her clothes and let her sit leaning on the headboard.

“Now will you tell me what happened?” I ask angrily.

“Lily... Lily, he is here.” She says sobbing and I feel angry seeing her like this.

“Who?” I asked through knowing

“John and Chloe.” She says, and I lose my composure.

“So what Nyla. Every time you see him you became like this. How long will you hold on to this?” I say frustrated. She has to move on. It can’t go on like this.

She will die someday if it continues.

“I... I want to be fine. But whenever I see him the immense pain, the memories. I can’t... Lily... I,” she tried to say between hiccups.

“Where is your medicine?” I ask, ignoring her rambling.

I know what will I say but I don’t want to hear that same nonsense.

“In the bag,” she says and I take her bag and search for it.

I give her her medicine.

“Now sleep. We will talk when you wake up.” I make her lie and cover her with sheets.

After she sleeps, I leave her there and come outside

When I come out, Sid was standing there with his friend.

“How is she?” He asks.

“Fine now,” I say with a sigh.

“Can I know what is happening?” He asks. I know he deserves to know the truth.

“Can we sit somewhere?” I ask, and he nods. “We can sit in my office.” His friend offers.

“Hi, I am Rehan.” he introduces himself.

“Hi. OK, let’s go.” I say and he shows me the way.

Rehan’s P.O.V.

After we sit in my office Lily starts to say. “OK. You may have understood he is her ex-boyfriend.” Lily says, and I don’t know why I feel pain.

Am I jealous of him?

“In college, I went abroad for studying and they three used to be best friends. John, Chloe, and Nyla,” she says and I hear patiently.

“The girl and the boy,” Sid asks and she nods.

“Yes. Nyla used to love him so much, and they both knew that. Chloe and Nyla were roommates and like best friends. She used to tell all her feelings to Chloe. John also always makes some moves that will make her believe he loved her.” The way they are together and Nyla in this shape I want to ask.

“Then how are they together when Nyla and John used to love each other?” Sid asks instead of me.

“One day she went to meet me but I couldn’t reach there as I went to meet James and I told her we will meet later. So she went back.” she takes a deep breath.

“When she entered her room, she saw John and Chloe in the room, n***d, in her bed. When she tries to ask what is happening, they said they love each other.” What the f**k? How can he do that?

“That jerk said he always thinks of her as a friend and that b***h knowing everything said that she is just using her to be with John when John left.” How dare they do this?

I feel like killing them in an instant for doing this to her.

“What?” Sid exclaimed.

“Yes. She was so broken that she had an accident that night. I take her to the hospital and from then I tried to keep her away from them. But every time whenever she meets them she became like this. Last time she also tried to commit suicide.” She says, and I became shocked.

Is she that much affected by that jerk?

Is she still love him?

I feel a tinge of pain in my heart.

“Really! That’s what explains your behavior.” Sid sighs.

“Yes. That’s why I was so tense. It’s been eight years. I don’t know when will she be able to move on.” She says disappointed.

“When she saw her, she almost became pale. I feel so guilty that I couldn’t be fast.” Sid says sadly.

“It’s not your fault. You won’t believe that Nyla was the most cheerful person I have ever seen. But who will say this now?” I can say she cares for her a lot. “That jerk and b***h had completely broken her.”

“I never thought she is hiding so much pain inside her,” Tina says at last.

“I feel so guilty now. Every time I teased her she would have remembered all of this and would have been sad,” Tina added.

“Yes. But what can we do? Only she can help her.” Lily says, and everyone nods.

“Now, what will you do? Will you take her?” Sid asks.

“Let me see. If she wants to leave or not.” Lily says and gets up.

“OK, I should go to her now. I should not leave her alone”

“I am also coming,” Tina also gets up and leaves the room.

“This girl is in a deep s**t,” Sid says with a sad face.

“she just needs someone who can take her out of these memories,” I say after thinking.

“But who will do this. She just keeps herself locked,” Sid says.

But I know I want to be the one.

“Maybe that’s why we meet,” I say and he looks at me confused.

“You can’t be serious!” He says.

“I can’t be more serious than that,” I say determined.

“After hearing all that?” He asks again.

“Yes. Do you have thought if she can love a jerk for so many years how much she will love me if we will be together?” I was never serious about anything in my life.

I don’t know why her pain makes me sad too.

If it’s not love, then what is it?

“You are something else, Rehan,” he says, but from his face I know he is happy for me.

“I like that girl and want to be with her. Please Sid help me.” I say, pleading.

“OK. But she is also my good friend so don’t make me choose,” he warns me.

“That day will not come,” I say confidently.
