Mending Her

Chapter-14

After Nyla and Joe leave, Sid looks at me curiously.

"What?" I ask confused.

Am I looking like a clown?

Why he is giving me this odd look?

"What have you planned?" He asks eagerly.

But I didn't understand that I needed to plan before coming here.

Love is not something you can plan as much as I understand.

"What plan?" I ask and he looks at me like I am joking.

"To make Nyla fall for you, of course. Not that some prophecy will come and she will fall for you with no objection." He says, and I look clueless. But I didn't know that I have to plan something.

"Is there need to be any plan?" I ask and he sighs.

"Are you dumb?" he asks, and I feel offended.

"Why? I didn't know all this. This is the first time for me." I say.

"Idiot. Do you think you are a Greek god that Nyla will see you and fall for you at first sight?" he says in a mocking tone.

"That didn't happen, right? So I am not," I also reply in the same tone.

"Then you need some plan right to make her realize you are the one she is looking for." He says to make me understand.

"But that will be cheating right. She needs to feel my love and accept me eagerly. And I am sure if I pull any stunt she will run away the next moment she will know about it. I can't afford that." I say.

I thought he will understand what I was trying to say.

"You are useless." He says, and I furrow my brows.

"And you are very capable, right?" I say irritated.

"how do you think I married Joe." He says proudly.

"Ok then, tell me what to do?" I ask frustrated by his nagging.

I also want to make Nyla understand my feelings and reciprocate.

But want to time take its course.

"I have a plan." His eyes shine mischievously.

"and what is that?" he says and though I know his plan is all piece of shit, I can listen.

"Drug her and sleep with her. She will surely fall for you. I know she is a virgin." He says, and my eyes open with shock.

"I don't know if she will fall or not? But she will surely kick me out of her life. She will hate me for sure." I say and his face became terrible like someone snatch candy from his hand.

"You are..." He sighs and left from there.

I don't know what to do, so I take a glass of cocktail and sit in a corner, and start to see Nyla talking with Joe.

After some time, Nyla and Joe stand up and started to come toward me.

I become conscious and compose myself

"Rehan we are going downstairs to dance. Are you coming?" Joe asks.

"No, I am fine here," I say while sipping my drink.

I want to dance with Nyla. But I am sure she will not agree.

So I don't want to go.

"look he is not going. Let me stay too." Nyla pleads.

"Ok fine. But you have to at least come downstairs. If you don't want to dance, then you can sit there." She shows her a place and Nyla nods.

"But..." She tries to say something

"No, but now Nyla. I compromise, so you should too." She whines.

"Ok fine." She sighs.

It would be nice if she stayed, and I can sit with her or talk about something.

But it's nothing but my wishful thinking.

I am not so close to her, she will not happily sit and chat with me.

"Ok, are you going?" Joe asks me and I shake my hand.

So they left.

I can see from here what is happening downstairs.

So it's the perfect place from where I can enjoy what Nyla is doing.

I don't know why, but seeing her sitting in front of my eyes gives me satisfaction.

Nyla went downstairs and sit on the couch and ordered something light.

I also ordered another drink and started to enjoy the best view of my life.

Nyla's P.O.V.

Today is Sid's anniversary party so after meeting I ran home to get ready.

I don't like parties, but as far as I know Joe I will have to attend this.

Otherwise, I will have to hear her nagging all over the year.

Joe is also a good friend of mine.

You can say she is another person after Lily who I am very close to.

Joe used to know that I have something bottling up in my mind.

She often told me to take therapy.

But she never tries to pry and respects my privacy.

That's why we bond so well.

So I quickly get ready to do a simple makeup and have my dinner.

The party is at the bar, so I know they will force me to drink and I don't want to drink on an empty stomach.

When I reach it's already late.

I had to attend a meeting after office hours, so I think Sid will not complain.

When I reach there, I went upstairs directly.

I am the one who reserved the private room for them so I know where I will find them.

I enter and see Joe standing there with Rehan.

I said nothing to him.

I know it's impolite, but after that night I don't want to have anything to do with you.

I don't know how he can read me like an open book.

But I don't like that.

Whoever knows my past looks at me with pity and I don't want pity from anyone and especially him.

So I try to avoid him and he also didn't approach me so I am relieved.

but whenever my eyes fall on him I feel he was watching me.

Though he always looks away every time.

But every time it can't be coincident.

I just try to ignore it.

When I get downstairs, I take a deep breath as he can't see me now.

I don't know, but I feel he has something hidden in him.

Not a bad way, but I don't want any attention from anyone.

it makes me scared.

I order a fruit punch and sit in a corner and started to see them enjoy.

Joe and Sid were dancing happily and there are some people I know too.

I am happy about that.
