Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

Chapter 285: The aftermath

285 The aftermath

In the very next second electricity was restored.

All baffled up she looked all around, but there was no trace of him. She went running towards the exit door and saw the guy who had accompanied her earlier, standing outside talking with someone on a walkie talkie regarding the sudden outage.

Seeing her coming out of the room, he vehemently apologized to her.

"I am really sorry ma'am for this inconvenience. It usually never happens here. There was some issue with the backup unit."

Gathering her nerves she asked,

"Did you enter the room earlier?"

"Yes ma'am, I came to check if you were still there and the power came back".

"Did you?..... You know what, nevermind", she said and stormed towards her room.

The guy who had accompanied her, had a confused look on his face because he wasn't able to understand what was going on. His superior had asked him to do the power outage and had asked him to guard outside the room. He didn't understand why they wanted to trouble a premium customer.

Going back to his room, he felt like he had just suffered a mild stroke. He knew that she had the power to captivate him, but he didn't know that she would render him this helpless. She was breaking the walls that he had constructed all around himself. Those walls were not for his protection, but for hers. He wanted to shield her from himself. He wanted to give her a life that she deserved, but his selfish heart was always coming in the way.

As he entered the room which was next to hers, he turned back to make sure that she wasn't behind.

"Are you done with your shenanigans?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"You think I am stupid? I didn't get a degree just like that Raymond".

"How did you get my room keys?"

"I took one extra in case of emergencies, you know, in case any relapse happens".

"Oh, so you are abusing your powers now. What if I didn't recognize you? I would have asked the reception to kick you out of my room. That would have been acutely embarrassing for you".

"Me? Abusing powers? Shouldn't you ask this question to yourself? Just because you own this hotel, you have taken a room next to hers and God knows what all is there in your head. And don't act up, I know that these days you can recognize me from my voice".

"There is nothing inside my head and you know it".

"Then what is with all this secrecy? I have told you so many times not to stress yourself. Keep things simple in life. You like her and she likes you. So stay together. Simple as that. Whatever complications are there, can be easily dealt with. Both medically and you know emotionally."

"Life isn't as simple as that Oshana. Maybe once you fall in love you will understand. You will always want to give the best life to the other one. No matter what".

Oshana looked deep into his eyes and she could see the depth of love that he had for Akira.

She sighed and before leaving the room, she said,

"I am going to order the most exquisite food that I can in room service and I will charge it to your room"

Raymond smiled and said,

"Sure thing".

As Oshana left, his crazy brain got into thinking and he called up David.

"I want to block any room service to Akira's room, can that be done?"

David chuckled and asked,

'What do you have in your mind, Raymond?"
