280 No force is enough
Oshana looked up at a broken Raymond and asked,
"Why did you let her go? Why didn't you grab her hand?"
"I could not".
"Why did you hold my waist instead of hers? What is wrong with you Raymond? What were you trying to prove to her?"
He didn't say a word and saw her girl running away, wiping her tears into the crowd.
"You tell me, doctor, will you ever want to stay with a nutcase like me? Like ever?"
She didn't utter a word.
"I am carrying your picture on my phone, afraid that in the crowd I might not be able to recognize you. My condition is that bad Oshana. How can I be a life long burden on her?"
"What the hell are you talking Raymond. What did you tell her?"
Taking a deep breath, he replied,
"I told her that I was married to you".
"You did not !!!"
"Why the hell did you even try to say something so nonsensical? Wait a minute..."
"You begged to tag along with me to my medical conference. Like out of the blue. So you knew that she was coming here right? That's why you said that you will book the tickets?"
He stayed silent and then looked at her all exasperated.
"Damn it, Raymond. What is going on in your mind? Neither do I understand your father, nor you. If you can't stop her, then I will", saying that Oshana marched in the direction of EXIT.
But her march halted as she heard his deep commanding voice,
"Stop".
"You have no right to mess with her life right now Oshana".
"Oh, then do you? You appear in front of her out of the blue. You rip open her stitches and yet I am the one who is messing with her life?"
"I didn't intend to come in front of her".
"Then tell me why even though I didn't ask, you insisted on buying me a coffee?"
"I do not want to answer your questions. If you are done interrogating me, then can we leave?"
"Sure we can. But first, ask yourself what do you want. I think you yourself don't know what you want Raymond",
Saying that Oshana stormed out with her luggage and Raymond followed behind her.

All disturbed Akira took a cab and without even turning for a second she hopped inside. She didn't want to have a glimpse of that stranger again who had opened the bottle in which she had channeled all her pain and sorrows.
Unable to believe that fate could mock her in such an insensitive way, she hugged on to her bag and kept crying endlessly.
Suddenly a bicycle guy crossed the road in front of them and her car came to a screeching halt.
Startled by the sudden halt Akira raised her head up and the first thing that she noticed was an ad that was being shown on the screen in front of her. It was about some medical conference and the face of the girl whom she just saw with the guy who looked like Raymond, was being cast.
She didn't know what got into her, but she immediately took out her phone and took a picture of the conference and sent it to David and then texted,
"This is a picture of a conference that is to be held in London. I don't know where and when, but I need to attend it no matter what. Pull out all information about this Doctor as you can, including personal information" - [Akira]
David saw the text from Akira and a smile etched on his face.
It was a smile of satisfaction, for now, he knew that no force in the world will be able to separate them, no matter how hard they tried.
