486 David's heart just stopped

.

As the evening dusked in, Raymond started looking at his watch eagerly at Katherine's place. They all had all huddled up at her place to celebrate the grand opening.

"Hey Katherine, by any chance can you give me the keys to my old house? I am tired of staying in recluse at a place that doesn't feel like home."

"Then stay here with us." 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

Katherine said enthusiastically as she still had so many unanswered questions for her brother. But Shawn pinched her arm slightly trying to prevent her from making her brother stay overnight because he clearly knew that Raymond wanted to be with Akira. He had seen then exchanging longing glances and texts to each other and he could see Raymond getting impatient every now and then looking at his watch.

"Ouch, that was uncalled for."

Katherine winced and Shawn had to lower his head in disappointment. His wife was too naive to even catch the needs of the couple sitting in front of them.

Akira giggled seeing the naiveness of Katherine. Finally, after so many days, she looked completely happy. Even though earlier she used to laugh and talk, it used to feel like a part of her was still absent. But today she looked really happy and blissful and so did Kate.

Seeing that his sister was unable to comprehend the hidden meaning of his words, Raymond shrugged his head and said,

"Kat... It's been a long day and I just need to unwind by myself. So, please... The keys."

"Ok, Ray uncle you go home. Let me play some more with Akira. Do you know how much she used to avoid coming to our place? It was like I got to meet her once in a blue moon. And and and she needs to help me plan for my next birthday party as well."

Quipped Kate.

Both David and Shawn looked at each other, utterly amazed by the naiveness of Kate and Katherine. Actually they were having fun to see the expression of Raymond changing with every word of Kate.

"You will plan the party for me right Akira?"

"Oh, yeah. For sure."

Akira said and gave out a gentle smile to Kate but as hse turned to look at Raymond, she could feel that he was mildly uncomfortable. And to add spice on top of it, Shwan decided to play.

"Yeah Raymond, I have heard so much about Akira's party plans. Kate couldn't stop yapping about the fun events."

"Oh, so true Raymond, she is a godsend party planner."

Katherine added up.

Hearing their requirements, Raymond shot an angry look at Shawn as he knew that he was playing with him. So he decided to stop the act and told blatantly, like his Raymond self,

"What I mean is, I need some time alone with Akira. I think you must be knowing that ..."

Shawn immediately covered Kate's ears and said,

"Sorry Kate, today your uncle needs Akira to plan a lot for the future. So maybe tomorrow?"

"Ughh... tomorrow is Monday. You adults will get busy with your office work and no one will have time for me."

Saying that Kate got up from the sofa to storm out but Raymond pulled her close and gave a fond kiss on her forehead and said.

"Don't run away from me Kate. You have no idea how much your uncle missed you all these days."

Saying that he hugged her tight and then looked at Akira.

She gave him a nod, telling him through her eyes that she understood what he wanted. His warm and comforting hug was enough to melt her nice and she broke into sobs.

"Do you even know how much we missed you? I didn't even go for a single Karaoke night because I didn't want to miss you, uncle Ray."

Saying that Kate started to sob again softly.

"Ok now, you are a big girl and big girls don't cry. You don't believe me then ask your best friend."

Saying that he gave a tap on her chin and said,

"This year your birthday will be planned not just by Akira but also by me. And I promise you a live Karaoke night at the house party. How does that sound?"

"For real."

"You know your uncle never breaks his promises. And to top that up, Akira will stay with you tonight to plan everything out. Ok?"

Kate thought for a while and then said,

"Well, I don't think Akira can beat the karaoke party. So I am going to let you have her."

Saying that she winked at Raymond and then whispered into his ears,

"I think Akira wants to be with you more than she wants to be with me. So you better treat her well."

Raymond was amazed by her words and he looked at her in disbelief as she marched upstairs to her room after waving everyone a good night.

"What did she say to you, Raymond?"

"Something that you should have understood like thirty minutes back !!!"

Hearing that everyone burst into a laugh but Akira died from within. Her face was all flustered and her nerves were all wrecked but someone was very happy to see the color change on her face and that was none other than Raymond.

After David sat in his car, he called up Dr. Nelson to discuss Raymond's memory issue with him. He knew that he was a trustworthy man upon whom he could count. Even though he knew that Dr. Oshana could just administer the same medicines, but somehow he could never trust that woman.

But even after he had called him up thrice, no one picked up.

"Looks like he is busy somewhere else."

David thought to himself and started for home. But five minutes later he got a call from Dr. Nelson.

"Hello, Dr Nelson."

"Erm... sorry. I am not sure of the owner of this phone. I did so many pickups yesterday, I do not know which hospital the patient might be."

"Patient??? No, this phone belongs to a doctor. Dr. Nelson."

"I am sorry sir. I am an ambulance driver. I think this phone belongs to someone ...."

David's heart just stopped.
