Mending Her

Chapter-28

I was walking out of the hall room when someone stop me, holding my wrist from behind.

I thought Rehan must have come behind me.

So I turn around to tell him to leave me alone.

But when I turn around, it was John who was standing there.

"What do you want?" I ask him angrily.

He is the last person I want to talk to in this world.

Today it's Lily's special day.

I don't want to spoil it by making any scene.

"Nyla I want to talk," John says but I have nothing to talk about with him.

"Look John, today it is Lily's day. I don't want to create any problems. So it will be better if you stay away from me." I say and try to walk.

"If you don't want to create any scene, just listen to me." He says, and I look at him in disbelief.

What did he mean by that?

"Are you blackmailing me?" I ask angrily.

"No, but if you don't listen to me, I will have to force you. So it's up to in which you want to do it." He threatens.

"What you want to say. Just spat it," It's not I am afraid of him.

It's just I don't want to attract people's attention.

And he just wants to talk.

So he can talk, and I want to get over it.

"Ok fine. I want to ask do you want to be together with me?" He says and I look at him shocked.

"What?" I can't believe how he can have such rubbish thoughts.

"You loved me back then. Though I get back to Chloe. But you are still single and I know you love me. That's why you are still single. I want to divorce Chloe. So we can get back together." He says, and I look at him with disgust.

"Why do you want to be with me?" I ask curiously.

"You are a good girl. You will never cheat on me and I will get part of Chloe's property according to our prenup. So you will have a good life." He says.

"Have a good life?" I ask.

"Of course. You will have me as your partner and you have a good job. My money your money and a husband. Your life will be perfect." He says and I look at him disgustingly.

How couldn't I see he has only junk filled in his head?

How can someone be so cheap?

"Thanks, but I don't want to be with you," I say folding my hands in my chest and now he looks shocked.

Of course, he will be.

According to his how can I reject a good life?

"Are you out of your mind? Why are you rejecting such a good proposal? Nyla, think about it and I will give you time." He says and I chuckle.

"John, if you wait for your entire life, my answers will be the same," I say confidently.

How can he think I will marry a person like him?

If I will have to remain unmarried my entire life, I will not marry him.

"Nyla, you are not thinking thoroughly. Don't act impulsively." Impulsive? My foot.

This is the best decision I have taken in my entire life.

"Do you know what, John? Let me explain why I am rejecting you. First, you are the last person I would love. And I don't hate you too because hate is a powerful emotion and I feel nothing about you. Second, I never wanted money. So keep your property to yourself. And third, I feel nauseated by thinking that I will marry a person whose heart is black like coal and head is filled with junk. That's why my answer is, No." I say determined.

But when I finish talking I notice Rehan was standing there.

When did he come?

Did he listen to our conversation?

But his face has no expression so I couldn't understand anything.

John looks behind to see what am I looking at and his face change into anger.

"Oh, I thought you are innocent. But you have eyes on him. I thought you are a nice girl. But You are also the same as others. A slut." He says and my face changes into hurt.

But before I could say anything Rehan comes and punched him in the face.

"Rehan." I cry in shock.

John falls on the floor but gets up and split blood on the floor.

"What, why you are fighting with me? What did she do to seduce you?" He asks Rehan.

"Did you go to her bed?" He asks and Rehan gives him another punch.

"What did you say? How dare you?" He pulls him by his collar and starts to punch him continuously.

I don't know what to do?

He looks so angry. I never saw him like this.

I try to stop him but he was not in the right mind.

Then I remember James and start to run inside, but I saw them coming out running.

Many people have gathered here and someone may have informed them.

James and Sid go there to stop him.

They pull him from John and Lily, Tina and Joe come to support me.

"I am sorry, I didn't want this to happen." I hug Lily and cry in her arm.

"I am sorry, I am sorry. I spoil your day." I say, crying.

That is why I didn't want to talk to him.

This day was important for her.

I didn't want to spoil it.

But I somehow did what I didn't want to do.

"Shh. It's fine." Lily says but I was feeling so guilty that I don't know how to apologize.

James takes us inside and they send John to the hospital.

Rehan has beaten him black and blue.

I was sitting in the room, and Lily is with me.

Tina and Joe are also here.

James and Sid remain with Rehan.

I never saw him so much angry.
