Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

Chapter 269: That gut wrenching pain



269 That gut wrenching pain

She could hear the sound of the water, the chirping of the birds, the humming of the insects, all loud and clear, registering into her auditory system. But she couldn't hear her heart beating. She couldn't feel the stream of life inside herself. It was like her life had come to a sudden standstill.

That feeling of fear was absolute.

It revoked all the sensations from her body and made her feel only one thing, that acute pain. A pain, so ginormous in its entirety that it made her bleed through her eyes.

Those were tears of blood.

Tears of pain from the betrayal.

That gut-wrenching, nerve-shattering pain was nothing but the fear of losing him.

Till now she was still holding onto the thread of hope thinking that he would be there, somewhere, waiting for her to come and that she would be able to rescue him.

But all her hopes were shattered to see her idol, lying on the pavement bank.

Mike and Simon had returned after filing the necessary police complaints in the city and when they got to know that Akira was there, they came rushing in.

Seeing her sister there, Mike's heart just came to his mouth and he didn't know in what way he could even dare to console her.

He took his steps forward and saw the tears streaming down her face and said,

"We are doing everything that we can. Don't worry we will find him, Aki. We will find him", saying that he came close to hug her, but before he could, she raised her hand holding the idol and said,

"He didn't protect him. He couldn't protect him. He was supposed to be with him, then why did he abandon my Raymond".

She crumbled into pieces and slumped on the ground, holding the idol tight to her chest.

Mike knelt down and embraced her tight in his arms because right now he knew that no amount of words were going to be enough to lessen the pain in her heart.

Wailing at the top of her lungs she let all the pain come out because there was no way in which she could survive by bottling it up inside. Her streams ran perennially, all unruly, all warm submerging not only her but Mike as well in a blanket of sorrow.

Seeing her in such a dilapidated condition, Vikram stepped ahead as he wanted to wipe away her tears with his handkerchief, but raising his hand Mike stopped him then and there.

He looked at him point blank with nothing but loathing filled in his eyes. His glaring eyes and that hatred sprouting from them was enough to push him out and take a step back because he was clearly not welcome in their territory.

Taking his step back, he realized that suddenly the people who were his own had become worse than strangers.

But he knew that soon the times would turn. He knew it was the time to wipe his slate clean and show them his fair side. He knew that there would be resistance, he knew that there was hatred brewing inside their heart for him, but he also knew that with time he would be able to simmer it all down.

"Don't lose hope Akira. You cannot do that".

"He cannot leave me like this. He cannot", saying that she hugged him tighter.

That evening was getting darker, the clouds were trying to hide the sun in every possible way cutting off any ray of light that could brighten up that evening. There was just one feeling that had spread all around and that was melancholy.
