Mending Her

Chapter-36

I am getting ready again for a date.

It's the second time I am going with Rehan for a date.

Many things have changed in these months.

First, we are just strangers.

But now we know each other at some length.

The last time I went to meet him, I didn't know what he was planning.

His confession took me off guard.

But today I know how he feels.

At some point, my heart also wants to give him a chance.

But the experience from my past is pulling my leg backward.

I am scared of what will happen if I again put my leg in this mud.

Will it cover my life with love or it will be dirty with its color?

I know today Rehan has called me to spend some quality time.

I want it too.

But my inner devil is telling me not to go.

But I put them back in my mind and get ready.

I know it will always put its claw in my heart.

But for the first time in eight years, I want to ignore its nagging and give him a chance.

I know there is a chance of getting hurt again.

But there is a chance of getting love too.

I want to hear Lily's advice.

Everyone is not John.

Maybe Rehan is the person who will make me forget my past.

Maybe he is the medicine my heart is needing.

Rehan has told me to meet him at five.

I don't know what will he do so early when we are going for dinner.

But I want to see it.

I get ready at four-thirty and was waiting for him.

At around 4.50 a staff comes and knocks on the door.

I walk out with him and reach the place where we are going to spend the time.

He has arranged two recliner chairs there and waiting for me to stand beside them.

I don't what he is planning but I join him.

We both sit in the recliner lean on the back.

The waiter serves me some drinks and I take them.

It's some kind of mocktail.

I take a sip, and it was very good and refreshing.

"It's their specialty," Rehan says and I nod.

The taste is excellent.

"So what are we doing here?" I ask, and he chuckles.

"Why are you already bored?" he asks.

"No, but I should be prepared for tonight," I say and he again chuckles.

"Don't worry. I will not give any surprise. I wanted to spend some quality time with you before we leave. I know when we will return to London you will run away from me like the plague." He says.

Though this time I decide to not do that, I can't blame him.

I have always done that to him.

I keep silent, and we are lying there peacefully.
