Patch up
People often say when a heart breaks; there's no sound in it but the small sobs coming from the washroom made Nayera realize how big of a lie it was; Saturday evening, Nayera was dressed in a simple yet classy black dress that ended on her mid-thigh.
Light make-up with smoky eyes; she looked nothing less than a vogue model but her heart was not at rest her best friend was once again crying her eyes out alone in the bathroom.
Nayera knew what she needed to do; She was all set with the packet, she kept in her handbag; Nihalika came inside the room as Nayera picked up her phone from the nightstand.
"Are you sure, he will be there? " Nayera questioned as she knocked on the bathroom door only to hear 'coming'
"Yes, he is coming for a meeting at the same place, " Nihalika was surprised that her sister, the one who believes that the wrong one should be punished is taking Aleyna to patch up with her boyfriend who cheated on her.
The thought was a shock to Nihalika.
"We are going for them, right? to fix the problem between them? hmm? " Nihalika was unsure after seeing her nod at her question.
Aleyna walked out wearing a simple red fit and flare dress; she looked beautiful but her slightly red eyes and no ounce of a smile on her face made it obvious she was unhappy.
Unhappy word does not define her broken and shattered heart's condition; broken by the hands of her love; nothing seemed to cheer her up.
"Let's go, " Nayera pulled them out of the house and drove to the club. Aleyna kept looking out; as if she was lost in the world of her thoughts.
Neither Nayera had something to say nor she was able to see her that way but one thing she was sure about after tonight you won't cry for him ever again.
"You guys go ahead, I'll park the car, " Nayera said as they nodded.
Nayera parked the car and called someone; after confirming everything was alright, she walked inside the club; spotting her friends, she smiled at them.
Aleyna was drinking the boring mocktail; Nayera shook her head while Nihalika went to the dance floor to lose herself in music.
"Come-on Ali, you can not be like this, live a little, let's order shorts, " Nayera said; Aleyna did not oppose.
They ordered shorts but Aleyna did not even touch them; her eyes glittered with tears as Nayera followed her gaze.
She was looking at a few men who were in the VIP lounge. "Nayera, let's get away from here," Aleyna said to her; trying her best not to sound broken.
"Which one is he? " her question did not surprise Aleyna because no one knew her better than her best friend, yet Nayera was the type to never show her emotions or what was going on in her genius brain.
"The one in black formal dress, " Aleyna said; her eyes teared up once again.
Nayera glanced at them again; Now a few of them noticed the ladies looking at their way, they smiled flirtatiously at Nayera while she kept a poker face.
"Every homo sapiens male there is wearing formal black, give a little more details, " the sarcastic question from Nayera made Aleyna chuckle; yes this was her way of showing how pissed she was at the moment.
"The one with a red tie, sitting on the right side," Aleyna said as she glanced in that direction; her eyes locked with the one who was the reason behind her pain.
Looking at his girl, he stood up but Aleyna turned around and walked out of the club; Nayera knew it was too much for Aleyna, she was head over heels in love with that cheater.
Nayera glanced at him; the idiot was hugging someone; his actions left Nayera's blood boiling.
Once a cheater, always a cheater. Let's see what Ali saw in you, Mr. Cheater
Nayera called Nihalika and asked her to stay with Aleyna.
"Where are you going? " Nihalika asked.
"I need to pee," she said as Nihalika nodded and went to find Aleyna. Nayera started her work; she nodded at the lady bartender and went to change her dress to a waitress's
"You got ten minutes Era," the lady bartender said as she put the bundle of pink notes in her purse.
"Ten minutes are more than enough, " Nayera said as she mixed the power in water; she kept a classy wine glass on the tray and poured the most expensive white wine into it.
Smirking to herself; she held the tray and walked towards the VIP lounge.
.
A small sob escaped her lips when Aleyna walked out of the club; she was on the backside of the club; the chilly air of December hit her as she felt her nose blocked because of excess tears; the silent tears and no sobs are just a myth, in reality, the cry is always ugly.
Who looks beautiful while crying anyway?
So many emotions filled her throat; Anger, pain, frustration, sorrow, and dejection filled her heart making her feel even more broken.
She wanted to scream but no sound other than her sobs left her throat; it was like her vocal cords refused to cooperate with her mind's signals.
She felt a hand on her shoulder; She turned around to hug but the person in front of her made her froze.
" Love, what happened why are you crying? " He said as he looked at me with worry-filled eyes. For a moment Aleyna could not believe he was the same guy who cheated on her.
"Aleyna, you are scaring me, " he said as he tried to come near her but she flinched; with the hurt look on his face, he moved back to a safe distance.
"Ale- "Before he could speak she showed him her palm and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Aleyna looked at him but he had no sign of guilt in his eyes; What an actor he is, he still did not get it that his dirty secret is out.
"You are the reason for my tears, my pain, my shattered self, Dev... " Aleyna said as tears rolled down her eyes; she tried her best not to break in front of him but it was next to impossible.
"Aleyna, don't talk in riddles, say clearly what have I ever done? " Dev asked as he looked at her with anger-filled eyes but when he saw her closing her eyes in fear; realization hit him.
He screamed at her once again; his anger took over him once again.
"Fuck! " he cruised as he ran his hand through his perfectly gelled hair making a mess of it.
"Aleyna I... " No words could describe his actions; he knows how scared she gets when someone screams at her or talk in a loud voice.
He knows it but still... still he did it.
"Once again... " She took a deep breath to calm herself from the fear.
"Again... you let your anger take over your senses... I do not wish to see your... your face ever again Dev, " Aleyna said and ran in the other direction.
Unknown to the fact that Nihalika witnessed whatever happened between them; Nihalika walked near Dev and stood in front of him who was looking at the retreating figure of Aleyna.
"You should not have done what you did if her tears pain your heart this bad, Dev " Nihalika said to Dev whose eyes reflected his pain. He was in pain too.
Dev did not speak to her nor he tried to move; he felt like his soul was snatched away from his body; he stood frozen in his place as NIhalika finally walked in the direction Aleyna went.
