The Mend Of Heart

Chapter-3 (Part-2)

                         Aaradhya

It was them, "The Titans." Famous and indestructible businessmen who are also close friends. I gasped looking at them. Rishi, Prathap, and Varun, "The Titans." Rishi owns multiple luxurious brands. Prathap owns numbers of famous entertainment industries. All the famous people I know belong to his company. And Varun owns multiple luxurious hotels and estates. These three men are indestructible in their own field, and three being close friends shakes the whole business industry.

I was motionless. Varun chuckled, observing my state. "Ms. Aaradhya, "Varun called out. "Hah," I said, glancing at him with evident disbelief.  Varun chuckled again. "Are you ok?" Varun asked me. I simply nodded my head. "Can we perhaps sit?" Varun asked me.  "Yeah yeah, sure," I replied, smiling awkwardly at them.

"We apologise for causing you any inconvenience," said Rishi in a stern voice. Varun and Prathap hissed in irritation. "We are here to ask for her help, Rishi. So behave," said Prathap. "I am sorry about that," said Prathap, turning to me and giving me a small smile. "It's fine," I said, giving him a big smile. Prathap chuckled at my response. It was completely awkward sitting and just smiling at them.  "May I know the reason why you are here?" I asked them. They looked at each other before speaking. "Actually, we're here to ask you for help," said Prathap hesitantly. "Help?" I asked him, confused. He nodded. "You know Aarav?" Varun asked me. "How can anyone not? Called The Ice King and known for his business tactics," I said, briefing his history. “Also for his rudeness and anger” I added.

Varuns and Prathap eyes lost their spark, and Rishis eyes still held the same coldness. "He wasn't like that before," Varun said in a low voice. My eyes widened in shock. "You know him?" I asked him. He nodded his head. I gasped, leaning back on my chair. "How many shocks are you guys planning to give me?" I asked them. Varun scratched his nape, and Prathap chuckled.  "The truth is, he was also our friend. Moreover, like our little brother. But due to an incident, our friendship broke," Varun said. I nodded my head, understanding. "Since he was seven, we four were together. But a few years ago, because of his toxic ex-girlfriend, our friendship broke," Varun explained. Though he did not completely explain the story, I can understand what would have happened. "Actually, at first Aarav did not know about her true personality and believed her. She manipulated him into thinking that we were trying to break their relationship. The thing is that she is a gold digger who does anything for money. And when Aarav came to know about her true face, our friendship already fell apart. Eventually he shut down everyone, only concentrating on becoming successful, which made him emotionally numb. Like you said, his anger issue grew, which portrayed him as a rude person," Varun explained. "So what exactly do you want me to do in this?" I questioned.

"Bring back the lost Aarav," Rishi said. It was as if he's pleading. Rishi never showed any kind of emotion since the moment he stepped inside. But now his eyes are pleading. And contrast to that, I am beyond confused right now. The confusion was clearly visible in my face. "We want you to treat him. Not the normal one you do. Instead, we want you to stay near him and change him," Rishi said. My eyes widened in shock. "There is no way I am doing this, Mr. Rishi," I said. "If you want me to treat him, fine, I'll do that. But the thing you're asking me to do will never happen," I said in a stern voice. "Please," Rishi pleaded. "If you're near him, you'll get to know him better. His behaviors, activities, everything," Rishi explained. "You know right after getting to know a person better you can treat them easily in the right way that is suitable for them," Rishi explained. He got a point, but staying near him and observing his every move will make me feel like a stalker. "Please," Prathap and Varun pleaded.

For more than half an hour, they were trying to convince me, and I reluctantly agreed to them. Rishi thanked me for agreeing with him. "Thank you. Thank you so much," he said. I gave him a small smile. "But first I want to meet him in the clinic, and then I'll do according to your idea," I said. "How do we bring him here?" I asked them. "Only by forcing him, we can do that," Prathap said. "You don't worry about that. I'll take care of it," Rishi assured. "How?" Prathap questioned. "Remember he has a meeting next week with Mr. Karan discussing his upcoming project?" Rishi asked them. Both nodded their heads in union. "Mr. Karan and I've met a few times at business parties, and he also seems quite a good-hearted one. So, I'll ask for his help in this," Rishi said. "Help in what?" Varun asked. "Aarav desperately wants this project, and he has been working for days for this one. So he will accept any condition Mr. Karan brings up," Rishi explained. "Since Aarav has anger issues, I'll make use of this and ask Mr. Karan to suggest Aarav seek a psychologist to treat his anger issues. And that psychologist is Aaradhya," Rishi explained his plan. "Impressive," I muttered. "So ready?" Rishi asked, looking at me. "I am," I said, smiling at him. He smiled back at me. Gosh! He looks adorable when he smiles. "We'll inform you when his meeting is over with Mr. Karan," Rishi informed me. I nodded my head. "If you don't mind, can I ask you one thing?" I asked, looking at them. "Sure," said Varun, smiling. I hesitated, but I was curious how they knew everything about him even after their bond was broken. "How do you know everything about him even after what happened between you?" I asked them. They smiled. "He is our brother. Even after all those things, we still care about him. If your loved ones are in trouble, you help them not bothering about the fight or any misunderstandings," Prathap said, looking at me. My heart pounded at his response. It was a strange feeling. Strangely comforting feeling. My lips curl into a smile, and my heart tingles with joy at the thought of helping them. Moreover, I really want to reunite their broken bond. After a few minutes of chit chat they left the clinic. Chatting with them felt like chatting with friends. After a few minutes I left the clinic and drove to my apartment.
