Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

274 The transition - 2

After the contract was signed, both the parties shook their hands.

Looking at her, Mr. Pollar said,

"I had no idea that a young lady like you would be so capable of running this Tech-Giant".

"Wouldn\'t have been possible without you Mr. Pollard", she said and smiled.

"Me? How I am involved in this?", he asked all surprised.

"Well call it fate or call it destiny, but unknowingly but you have indeed helped in igniting the passion within us. Maybe I should call it fate but I guess I wouldn\'t be standing here in front of you, if you wouldn\'t have been the owner of Infineon", saying that she smiled all cryptically because only she knew what she meant.

"Well I have been told that I have inspired many young entrepreneurs as I started myself as one", he spoke with pride.

Akira wanted to laugh at his audacity but she refrained herself from doing so and simply exchanged the documents and said,

"I am pretty sure you have".

"I hope you achieve great new heights with my company\'s strength and your capabilities".

"Sure we will", saying that Akira excused herself and went back to her cabin.

"So how much did he gloat?", David asked all smiling.

"A hell lot !!! But how did you know that he would show off so much?", Akira asked all surprised.

"Well its been ages that I am in this industry Akira", David said and smiled.

Then suddenly his phone buzzed with a message flashed on his screen and looking at it, he stood all dumbstruck. He couldn\'t move an inch further and his mouth opened in surprise.

"What happened David? Looks like you saw a ghost", Akira said and smiled.

"Something like that you can say", David said and looked at her for a second. He wanted to tell something but then restrained himself and said,

"I have to go now. Something important has popped up".

Saying that he left her cabin, without even waiting for a reply from her.

He checked the text again. It said,

"He is awake" - [Sebastian]

[Inside a private nursing home setting in Brooklyn]

"Easy, easy, don\'t strain yourself. We have darkened the room, you can slowly open your eyes now", saying that the doctor held the back of his neck to give him support.

He slowly opened his eyes, which hadn\'t seen the light of the day for the last one and a half year.

He moved his hand slowly and touched his face.

His entire body felt all sore and his throat all dry. Before he could try to get a syllable out of his mouth, he slumped back to sleep again.

"What happened, is he ok?"

"Mr. Walker, he just woke up after like 500 days. What do you expect?"

"I don\'t know, just make him all right".

"We are trying our best and you know it. But why were you standing behind the screens? Why don\'t you come in front of him when he wakes up?"

Taking a deep breath Mr. Sebastian replied,

"That\'s because I am not the first person whom he would like to see".

"Come on Mr. Walker, he is your son. How can you say like that?"

"I can, because that\'s the bitter truth", saying that Sebastian walked towards the couch and sat there.

Then suddenly a man entered the room all bewildered,

"How is he? How\'s my son?"

He saw Raymond lying all silently on the bed and then turning towards the other end of the room he saw Sebastian sitting calmly on a sofa.

"You told me he woke up !!!"

"He had Conrad. He had !!!", saying that Sebastian flipped through the newspaper in the front, grinding his teeth as he was unable to bear someone else calling Raymond as his son.
