Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

491 Like how?

Asked Raymond with a bit of playfulness in his eyes.

"Just like this. How you did now."

"Is that all you want? I thought your list would be long tonight."

Saying that Raymond tried to suppress his smug laugh and kept patting her head.

"Don't poke me now."

"Ok ok... Now rest for a while till the doctor comes out."

Saying that Raymond slightly turned to look at the door and then looked at David. Looking at the way an expression of disbelief was etched on the face of David, Raymond realized that something wasn't right.

Although he badly wanted to know what was wrong, he suppressed his curiosity because he wanted to know about it first before revealing anything to Akira. He slowly picked up his mobile phone from the pocket of his pant and was about to text David when he heard the door swung open.

"Aaah, Dr. Leonard."

Akira immediately opened her eyes and looked in the direction of Dr. Leonard. it looked like he was about to say something but before he could even after a single word Akira asked,

"Will you tell us honestly what is wrong with him? We are not as chicken-hearted as he thinks us to be."

"Chicken hearted? God no. He was completely right about you. He told me to leave the room as early as possible otherwise you would be spending all your time thinking about the worst possible disease that he could have."

"I did not."

Akira retorted.

"There is nothing to worry about. Actually we just wanted to discuss a medical paper. Nothing else."

"Then why did you guys fall on such a big drama? Why did Dr. Oshana storm out of the room?"

Akira asked as she was not at all convinced with his replies.

"Well, that's becasue she tried to confess something in front of Dr. Nelson and he didn't like that. End of the story. now if your question is done then I'll take my leave as I have to check up on other patients. You can go in and visit him he is perfectly fine right now."

Saying that Dr. Leonard walked ahead and Akira entered into the room.

Raymond stayed behind to have a talk with David.

"How you feel now? Gosh, I was so much worried about you. If you wanted to discuss the new property that you want to invest, you could have talked in front of us. Why did you ask us to go away? Since when have you started scaring the shit out of people."

Akira asked and sat next to Dr. Nelson.

"Well ... Erm ... It's a small property. I just want to open a basic clinic. Nothing final yet so didn't want to disclose in front of you."

"I see... "

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, just trying to understand what on earth these numbers mean."

"You want to learn?"

"Well yeah."

"Well, the numbers in yellow are for my oxygen saturation, the numbers in green ..."

But before he could complete his sentence, Raymond stormed inside.

He looked restless, like a child who is scared that his favorite toy would be taken away. Coming close to Akira he said,

"The visiting hours are over now. We need to leave."

There was a sense of weird urgency in his voice and it was telling everyone loud and clear that there was something wrong with him.

"Are you ok Raymond?"

"Erm... I am not. I feel too tired. It's been a long day and I was just wondering if I could just rest for a moment in my life."

"You feel ok Ray?"

Dr. Nelson asked with his voice filled with concern. He was worried if he had any new memory flash and if that had made him restless.

"I am all fine. Completely fine. Akira is with me now, so nothing can go wrong with me. As long as she is with me, I am fine."

"But shouldn't I ..."

"David is going to stay overnight. If anything we are just a call away."

"I am totally fine Akira. All my vitals are stable. They are just keeping me here so that I rest well. Go home now and rest well. You guys need it way more than I do."

Even though she was reluctant to leave her friend in such a condition, she was equally worried about Raymond. She knew how many sleepless nights her man had spent just to achieve this day when everything had been set right. So with a heavy heart, she left the room along with Raymond.

As they walked towards the car, Akira said,

"Do you know both Dr. Leonard and Dr, Nelson they were lying to us. They are trying to hide something. I guess there is something wrong with Jabya and they are not telling us. Can you please check with David, if he can find out anything?"

For a moment Raymond didn't say a word. He was trying hard to battle between his insecurities and the value of friendship.

"Well yeah, David will check and let us know. But as far as the basic reports go, he seems all fine. Maybe they were discussing some personal matter which has no correlation with us and maybe that's why they just wanted to discuss alone."

"Well could be, but why Dr. Oshana was there?"

"I am not sure about it."

Saying that Raymond slammed the door close after Akira got into the car.

"Are you seriously ok Raymond?"

Akira asked all worried and she could sense that there was something clearly bothering him.

With his hands on the steering wheel, Raymond tried to take a couple of deep breaths. It was hard for him to digest what he had just heard from David. He tried hard to maintain his composure but then he caved in.

"I can't even fathom to lose you in the wildest of my dreams."

"Not now, not ever."

And before Akira could realize what was happening, her lips were sealed with the warmth of his.
