Mending Her

Chapter-02

After I left the office, I went to meet with my best friend Lily.

She was calling me for some days to meet her.

But I was very busy, so I decided to meet her today before the trip.

We will meet in a restaurant and have some dinner and talk.

She lives on the other side of the town.

As I have a car, I always went to meet her there as it is an inconvenience for her to come here.

Though I leave early, it is already 6 in the evening.

I enter the restaurant and see her sitting in our favorite place.

"Hey. Why are you so late? I was waiting for one hour." Lily complains after seeing me.

"There was a lot of traffic today," I say, shrugging my shoulder.

"OK, OK now sit. I want to talk to you a lot. Do you know we meet after an entire month?" she takes my hand and makes her seat.

"yes. I was so busy these days." I huff.

"So how was your project?" She asks with a smile.

"Guess!" I say, smiling.

"Of course you get it." She says and we both laugh.

She has too much confidence in me. Even more than me.

"Do you know you are my soulmate?" I ask, and she nods.

"I know I know. I can tell from your face what you are thinking." She brags and I chuckle. We are friends from school time.

"Me too," I say, and she raises her brow.

"Then tell me what I am thinking now." She asks, propping her elbow on the table.

"You want to tell me something but don't know how to start," I say after thinking sometimes and she chuckles.

"Right and wrong." She replies, and I became confused.

"How?" I ask. '

"I want to tell you something right. But I also want to ask you something, too." Ok so my guess was right

"what?" Why does she need to hesitate before saying to me?

She knows I will agree with anything.

"Why didn't you go to the blind date I fixed?" She asks and my mood gets sour. She knows then why she is asking?

"Lily not this." I groan in frustration. I am done with this relationship topic.

"Why not this." She asks angrily.

"Because I am in a good mood today and I don't want to ruin this," I say and she sighs.

"Nyla you can't always ignore this. Aunt called me and ask me to tell you she chooses some blind date for you." And when did she become so obedient?

"I told her I will not go," I say and she lashes

"But why Nyla?" She asks angrily.

"You know the reason." I don't want to argue with her. But I can't do what they want.

"For god's sake, it's 8 years Nyla 8 years. You need to move on." She yells, and I know she is furious this time.

"I moved on 8 years back Lily." I try to make her understand.

What happened in the past it should remain in the past.

I can't change that, but I don't want to do the same mistake again.
