Mending Her

Chapter-25

"I am sorry. You are right." I say feeling guilty.

I should try to hold my emotion and act maturely.

She is right. I can't always act impulsively.

"Nyla, I am your friend and I will always be. I have taken no one's side. What I have done it was always for you." She says sadly.

I know I shouldn't have said that to her.

"I am sorry. I shouldn't have said that," I say apologetically.

"it's Ok," she says and comes to me and we hug each other.

After some time, we pull back and sit on the sofa resting.

"Now, are you going to give me something to eat or not? I am famished." She asks.

"What do you want to have? Haven't you eaten your dinner?" I ask.

It's already midnight.

"Anything. I am starving." She says.

I smile and walk toward my kitchen.

I take instant noodles and cook them with some vegetables, chicken, and egg.

She takes the noodles and gulps them like she didn't eat for years.

"slow down you will choke," I warn and pass water to her.

"Don't complain. Let me eat. I am starving. For you, I missed the best Italian cuisine. Now stop complaining and pass me the pepper," she says and again started to gulp.

"Where were you?" I pass her the pepper and she pours it into her noodles.

"I was on a date with James. then your loverboy called me and I have to leave," she says and puts more pepper in the noodles.

She eats too much spicy food I don't know-how.

"You were on a date?" I ask shocked, and she nods.

"I am sorry." I feel guilty. I am a burden to her life.

"It's Ok. We can go again next time." She says, but I feel terrible for her.

Here I am sulking over my stupid past and that makes her miss her beautiful date.

After she finished eating, we sit on the sofa.

I have already changed into home clothes when she was eating.

"Nyla, will you listen to me once and do as I say?" Lily asks, and I nod.

"Say what you want to say." I know she will never tell me to do something that will harm me.

"Nyla, you remember when I first meet John I told you to stay away from him?" She asks.

"I remember. I should have listened to you back then." I regret it till now. Why I didn't listen to her.

When I was with John, she came back to visit in her holidays and I introduce her to John.

But she clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with him.

I thought she must be telling it for no reason.

But when John did all that I understand she was right.

I don't know what he did to her. She told me to stay away from him.

But if I would have listened to her, my life wouldn't be like this.

"Now I am telling you something again. Rehan is a good guy. I don't know what will you decide but at least listen to him once. Give him a chance." She says and I look at her surprised.
