Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

330 Raymond\'s nemesis - 1

His car sped through the darkness of the night towards BridgeRoad residency, while he himself tried to push away the dark thoughts soaring inside of his head.

Sitting inside the car along with Raymond, David was trying hard to think of the ways to pacify his boss\'s anger.

He had narrated to him, the entire conversation that he had with Mr. Sebastian the day before and today morning. He gave every detail of the conversation without fail.

Somehow it was very difficult for Raymond to digest what he heard for he couldn\'t believe that his father could stoop so low as to threaten to take away someone\'s life.

David wanted him to cool down before they reached Sebastian\'s place but he?could see the fire gleaming in his vengeful eyes like instead of going to meet his own father, he was going to meet his arch-enemy. Like he was hell-bent to be his nemesis.

Taking a deep breath, Raymond pinched the space between his brows and then turned towards David and asked,

"Did you try to check the video feed again? As per his promise, those snipers should have left the hotel premises?"

"Yes, I have double-checked the whole feed. Both live and recorded ones. I saw the two snipers leaving the hotel, a couple of minutes after you had started for the airport".

"Still keep an eye. I cannot trust that man in any way".

"Please do not worry about it. I have two of my men guarding the hotel premises in civilian uniform".

"Thanks, David, I don\'t know what I would have done without you."

Saying that Raymond passed a faint smile at David and then spoke all disappointedly,

"I am not sure what worse deeds have I done in my previous birth, that I am being tormented by my own father like this".

Saying that Raymond took a deep breath and tried to calm down his frigid nerves.

David looked at him with his eyes filled with pity, for he had no words to console him at that moment because he knew that no amount of words will be enough.

As the car halted in front of his father\'s house, Raymond received a message from Akira.

"Onboard my flight - Lufthansa Airlines NYC347AH992. Please keep checking your watch".

And suddenly that message calmed him down.

She had that much power over him. Her one simple text was enough to bring solace to his otherwise edgy heart. He took a deep breath again and then looked at David and asked,

"Tell me again that I am doing the right thing. Tell me again that there will be no repercussions".

"You are doing the right thing, Raymond, rest assured about it. Everything will be fine. We will try to find a loophole in the clause and I promise you that I will do my best to keep you guys together either the right way or the wrong", saying that David gave out an assuring smile to him.

"I am not sure David, I am going against my principles this time and I don\'t have a good feeling about this", saying that he got out of the car.

Standing in front of his father\'s house, Raymond couldn\'t believe that he had come back to the same place where he had spent his entire childhood under such circumstances. He looked up at the terrace, at the spot from where his mother had jumped down to give away his life.

Seeing him watching the terrace, David immediately understood what pain Raymond was going through. So he immediately came close to him and placed his hand over his shoulders and said,

"Let\'s do this".

Raymond gulped his own spit and looked at David and said,

"Yeah, let\'s do this".
