Mending Her

Chapter-19

After talking with Lily I calm down.

Lily was here to take me for her wedding shopping.

But because of me, she stuck here and wasted her time with me.

She shouldn't cancel her shopping date because of me.

So I get ready and we leave my apartment for shopping.

But the thing about last night started to nag me over and over.

How can this happen?

I mean I know I was drugged, but I can't remember a single thing.

But one thing is Rehan could have easily lied to me about changing her clothes.

But he didn't. Why?

I was so engrossed in my thought that I didn't even notice that we reached the boutique.

"Nyla. Are you Ok?" Lily asks concerned and I look at her confused.

"Yes, why?" I ask back.

"We have reached long ago, and I have called you so many times but you were not responding." lily says.

"Oh, I was thinking something, so I may have zoned out," I say

"Are you sure? You don't have to do this. We can come another day." She compromises. Worry is plastered on her face.

"You should have told me that when I am at home. I shouldn't have wasted my energy to get ready. Now, as you have brought me here, let's finish this. That's your punishment." I try to lighten her mood.

"Ok let's go then." She says, smiling, but her face is clouded with worry. I know she is still not convinced that I am Ok.

This boutique we have selected is owned by one of the best designers in town.

She specializes in the bridal collection, and also best dresses for wearing on honeymoon.

When I was in college, I and Lily decided we will do our shopping from here when we will get married.

My marriage was out of the dictionary now.

But Lily remembered that and though there are now many boutiques that design honeymoon collections she wanted to fulfill her promise. That's why we are here.

Lily is tough from the outside.

But when she cares for someone she gives her hundred percent.

Luckily, I am one of them.

You can say I am on her top list.

"Nyla I am going to see this side. You can start choosing from that side. Sort them aside. I will look over after I am done," she says and leaves to check the dresses.

I also go to check the dresses.

I am also going to buy some dresses as her wedding is coming soon and I don't want to come again for shopping.

This boutique has many dresses according to my dressing sense.

So I choose a few.

"You are done here?" she asks

"Yes, I have chosen something for me and you too," I say and show her the dresses I sort for her. "Ok, we will try them. But first I need to buy something else." She says.

"what?" I ask confused

"James' birthday is tomorrow. In all these wedding preparations I have almost forgotten." She says with guilt.

"What you will buy?"

"A shirt. He once wanted me to buy for him, but I denied it and he was sad. If I gift him on he will be thrilled." She says, smiling.

"You surely love him. Then why do you always do this with him." I say in an accusing tone. I am disappointed with her attitude.

James loves him truly anyone can say that.

But she always shows that she doesn't care, which is not true.

True love is very rare these days.

She should cherish it.

"You don't know. These male species are abnormal creatures. You need to put them on leashes." She says seriously, and I chuckle. "Why are you laughing? I am serious," she says, emphasizing her word.

"I know you are," I say smiling, and she rolls her eyes.

So we start to check out the male section, which was on the other side of the boutique.

But when I was looking at the shirts, something flash in my mind

"You don't have a single cloth good to wear. All are boring." I hear my voice, but the image is blurry.

"we will go shopping," another image comes to me.

But I couldn't remember the face.

What is this memory? Who is the person I tell this to?

"Nyla do you like something? I couldn't find anything," Lily asks, making me come out of my daze.

"Yes, I have." I show her the shirt I like. It was a Grey color shirt.

"Ew, this is so boring." She says and other flashes come to me.

"You don't have a single cloth good to wear. All are boring."

What are these images are?

Why I can't remember the faces and the voice are not also clear.

I start to pull out the clothes and start to pile them in my hand.

"Wow, this is what I was looking for." She says and snatches the shirt from me.

I even didn't notice what I was holding.

She kisses my cheek and leaves to pay the bill.

"You didn't give me a goodnight kiss." Another image came, and the person kisses my cheeks.

This time I am sure the female character is me.

Then who the other person is?

I really can't remember anything and the faces are not clear.

But the voice is mine but I can't remember the other voice.

Then who is the other person and when I have talked to someone about these things?

After buying our dresses, we walk to Lily's car and she starts to drive.

She will drop me at my home and then go to hers.

Our car stopped in traffic near my house, and we are waiting for the green signal

"Is it Rehan sitting in that black car?" Lily show me a car.

I try to look clear but it was too far.

I lean forward and it was Rehan

But when I look at him and saw Rehan sitting in his car the faces of the night all come together.

I remember everything and then it hit me. I am the one who forced him to change my dress.

I was the one who wore his shirt, and I am the one who kissed him

"Shit, Shit Shit," I slap my forehead and put my face in my hand.

"What happened?" Lily asks confused.

"Lily, I messed up big time," I say and curse myself.

You act so shamelessly last night.

I agree I was drugged.

But he should have thought I am some shameless girl.

How will I face him?

He is Sid's best friend.

What if he tells everything to Sid, How will you face Sid?

Nyla, you are doomed.
