Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

395 His clenched fis

PAIN - Pain was all that she felt at that moment. Nerve wrenching, gut peeling pain. More than disgust, she felt all wounded as she continued watching that video.

Tears were streaming out through her eyes and she was unable to believe how someone can be that loathsome. She hated Dr. Oshana earlier for the way she used to behave around Raymond, but now she wanted to skin her out alive.

Watching her from afar, Dr. Nelson could clearly see her pain and somehow the tears in her eyes were unbearable for him. He didn't know what was going on, but he felt like he was supposed to be the one to wash away all the pain in her heart. Like he was supposed to be her messiah.

He saw her turn and she kept the phone on the bench and removed the earphones away. She wiped away the tears from her face and started taking deep breaths.

He couldn't bear to see her anymore like that, so he came forward, walking slowly so as to not to disturb the tranquility around them.

As he reached close to her, he found her sitting there with her head hung all low.

She knew that he was there, but she didn't want to lift her face up.

Not knowing what was the right thing to say or the right way to console her, he placed his palm on her shoulder lightly and asked,

"Are you ok?"

She heard his voice and wanted to lift her head up and fake a smile and say yes to that question. But her throat was all choking up. She was unable to neither speak or look at anyone or anything. Just the thought of Raymond, having to bear with the struggle all alone made her heart, break into pieces.

She was hurt not only because of the circumstances that Raymond had to face alone but because of the fact that she never understood his pain and blamed him for everything.

Seeing her in this condition, his heart was melting like wax.

He placed his other hand on her shoulder as well and said,

"You cannot break. Not right now. Not before finishing what you have started Akira."

Hearing his say those words, she looked up at him and as she did, drops of tears started descending on her milky face.

"God she looks pretty even when she cries."

He thought in his head and then took out a handkerchief from this trouser and gave it to her.

"Here, wipe the tears away. It's not worth to cry over spilled milk Akira. What has happened has happened. At least be grateful that not much damage has happened."

Looking deep into his eyes she said,

"You know, we didn't have even one day, like one whole day to ourselves. Before this storm, we had other smaller storms. There was never a day when we could just be like a normal couple. All that I wished was to be normal, live normal. But you know what, every day is a struggle for me, for him. Why do we have to go through so much pain? What have I done to offend anyone? Why does it feel like that the entire universe is acting against us?"

To be honest, he had no answer to her question.

"I am sick of acting strong Jaby. I am really sick and it hurts."

Saying that she completely broke. She had lost all her calm and composure and started to cry.

"I have never done anything to offend his dad. Like never...."

"Shh...." he said and pulled her close to him.

He stood there in front of her like a rock upon whom she leaned on and cried her eyes out like there was no tomorrow. Slowly her tears trickled down from her chin onto his shirt. As the wetness permeated through his clothes to his skin, he remembered the exact same line said by his wife,

"I am sick of feeling sick Jaby. It hurts."

Her voice started echoing inside his head.

He couldn't do anything to save her the last time, but he was not going to commit the same mistake again. He was not going to let these two people in love suffer anymore especially when it was her.

His fist was all curled up and his entire body was stiff. He wanted to pat on her head and say that everything was going to be ok, but he was scared of making fake promises. He did that once and he couldn't keep up to it.

So after much deliberation, he said,

"Your tears are not going to melt away the people behind this. Your tears are not going to take away the pain that Raymond had to bear. So don't waste them."

She stopped crying after a few minutes. But she continued to lean on to him. Her sobs were intermittent now, but his fist was still in that same clenched position.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，
