Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

"Ma"am, please have some water and tissues . "

"Oh, thanks !!!"

It was then that Akira realized she was making herself too obvious . She was a self-made woman and hated when people pitied her . She had to regain herself . She gave the attendant a faint smile and gulped the entire water bottle . Then she took a wet wipe from her purse and cleaned her entire face . Next she frantically started searching for a mirror in her purse and finally found it . The moment she held the mirror in front of her face, she went in shock . The very instant she screamed - "No way!!!"

Meanwhile, Raymond was watching her activities . Suddenly his whole focus was on her . The moment he heard her scream, he couldn"t help but chuckle . Yes, there was a smile on his face, G.o.d knows after how many days .

Akira took a deep breath and picked up a couple of things from her bag . A comb, a scrunchie, and a lip balm and rushed to the washroom . She fixed her hair into a neat ponytail and just dabbed a bit of lip balm on her lips . She was a no makeup girl . Her go-to item was always a lip balm or lip tint . After applying the lip balm she felt she looked manageable, so she came out of the washroom and started walking towards her seat .

While walking back Akira noticed someone looking at her . She looked up and met his gaze but the very next moment she stood transfixed, unable to move an inch further . There was something about his gaze . The strange look in his eyes trying to demand thousands of answers from her . For a moment she felt like she knew him somehow, but she couldn"t figure out how . His cufflink looked familiar but she wasn"t able to connect the dots . She gave a weak smile and returned to her seat without even caring if her smile was returned or not .

Raymond still continued looking at her transfixed . Her gentle smile was generating hundreds of myriad emotions in his heart which he was so unaware of before . He felt emotions which were unexplored by him . She looked so surreal after fixing her hair . There was a sense of calmness and gentleness about her .

After taking her seat Akira took out her Ipad and started her "Things to do" app .

She was a planner . She had to sort out her life now . Her career choices, her interns.h.i.+p program . Her life revolved around Anthony and she had to get a hold of it . She started noting down her goals one by one -

1 . Pay return flight credit card bill – 3700 USD

2 . Get a new interns.h.i.+p

As Anthony was in Infinion, she didn"t even bother to apply for other companies based in the US . It was too late to apply but nevertheless . She really started worrying about her interns.h.i.+p and her pending bills . In a rush she booked a business cla.s.s ticket but now that reality was dawning on her, she instantly regretted her decision .

Before Akira"s parents died, they had left some money for her and Mike . She did odd jobs during her school days, tutored others and got into the University of Cincinnati on a full scholars.h.i.+p but Mike was still in school and she had to run the house . Her credit card bill was like a tight slap on her face . But she was determined . She knew she had to power steer through all of this . So she knew obtaining an interns.h.i.+p was the first thing that she had to do .

She was totally immersed in her thoughts and just then she heard the flight attendant .

"h.e.l.lo, ma"am !!! Some chocolates please . "

"Ma"am, please have some water and tissues . " .

"Oh, thanks !!!" .
