Mend my broken heart

It was a bad day for Raymond . A really bad day .He had come to Singapore to sign an almost finalized deal . The contract and everything was already charted out . It was just a formality for both the parties to sign the contract . It was a big deal for him and his startup as the backing was coming from Infinion Inc, the largest gaming company in the world . He had reached Singapore that afternoon and was supposed to fly out the same night after signing the contract with the CEO of Infinion Mr . Pollard .But the moment he landed and checked his emails he sensed something was wrong . He had received an e-mail from the secretary of Mr . Pollard that he had to leave the country due to some family emergency and that the contract signing would be delayed . He badly needed the funding and was devastated with this news . He called up Michael – 'The eyes and ears of the Gaming World' and a childhood friend of his and got to know that Infinion CEO was pressurized by some third party to cut of

"What did he do? Akira I am asking you, what did he do?" asked a troubled Mike to his sister Akira .Even though Mike was Akira's younger brother, he was the only family which Akira had . So he was his father, mother and his brother as well . He was 2 years younger than her but way mature than the guys of his age . He had always disliked Anthony . He knew he wasn't trustworthy . He had warned Akira so many times, but Akira was too blinded in love to even listen to him ."He didn't do anything to me Mike . I just don't feel like discussing about it right now", said Akira and sighed .Akira was so exhausted with so much happening around her, that she didn't have the will to go through it again ."Fine, where are you right now? What time will your flight land? Send me the details . I will come and pick you up", Mike said and picked up a paper and pen to jot the details .Mike was really worried for Akira . He knew her sister was just showing a brave face to him, but deep down he knew tha

Raymond slowly finished his coffee and walked toward Gate number 19 . Boarding was just starting and as he was a Business class passenger, he went in ASAP . He kept his laptop out and stowed his bag . He again immersed himself into his laptop, planning new strategies as to how to poach in new investors .The flight was about to take off . Raymond was really glad to see the seat to his left empty . He really hated when people snored around him . Since it was a 23 hours flight he just wanted to relax . He was just about to hibernate his laptop as per the takeoff protocol when he saw a flight attendant escorting the girl with whom he had the coffee spilling encounter today .She looked pretty distant and broken . She looked tired too . There was something about her that drew his attention . Something very sincere . She looked very frail and sank into her seat immediately . Then she started looking out of the windowRaymond was shocked to find himself drawn towards her ."What is wrong wi

The flight attendant had handed her a small box of few assorted chocolates . By the time she could ask or say anything she had left to serve chocolates to other people who were still awake . It was her first-time flying in business class and she had no idea whether the chocolates were complementary or chargeable like a mini-bar of a hotel room . She was feeling too embarrassed to call the attendant back and ask her about it . She was too hungry and badly wanted to eat them, but didn't want to pile on any extra bills in case . She looked around and saw the guy next to her ripping off his chocolate packet up and was about to eat one .So she mustered up some courage and asked,"Excuse me !!!""Um . . . hi . This is my first time traveling in business class, so actually, I wanted to ask . Um… are these chocolates chargeable?"Raymond was surprised when he heard her voice . He paused for a while and said ."No, they are complementary . ""Really!!" She exclaimed .Before Raymond could say

Akira couldn't understand what just happened, but somehow she was grateful . He seemed like a nice guy . Had it been any other guy she would have definitely considered him as a creep . There was something different about him . She couldn't figure out what but she found his presence very comforting ."Thanks . I was actually a bit cold" . She said and smiled a bit ."It's fine . Sleep well" . Raymond said and took out his blanket and covered himself . He closed his eyes off and pretended to sleep while his mind was busy re-processing what had happened a couple of minutes back . His heart was racing and his ears were burning up . His mind was wandering off and he couldn't wipe off her image from his head . He let out a gasp of air and tried to calm himself .Akira slipped into the warm embrace of the blanket . She wasn't able to understand how a stranger could be so caring and comforting but the one person upon whom she showered all her love and attention, stabbed her in the back so mer
