Can you mend my broken heart?

"Tap Tap"

There was a knock on the car door.

Akira pulled the window screen down.

"Do I have permission to get inside the car?"

Akira smiled and opened the car door for Dr. Nelson to get inside. 

"Drop us at the 24th."

Dr. Nelson said and adjusted himself.

"How is the pain in your hand? I am so sorry I was so caught up in everything that I just forgot to ask about it."

"I poped some painkillers. So it's totally fine as of now," saying that he gave a comforting smile to Akira.

Akira just nodded her head.

"Well this might sound like I am trying to intrude, but what is the deal between his father and you?"

"I seriously have no idea about it. Something related to some memory and stuff."

"What memory? And whose memory?"

"Well, that even I don't know. But that's all the information that we could extract from Dr. Oshana. Even she doesn't know what exactly the reason is."

"Can you elaborate?"

"Well, apparently Dr. Oshana overheard Mr. Sebastian talking to someone about some memory, related to Raymond. That is the sole reason behind this behavior of his."

Dr. Nelson went into deep thought and then said,

"Is he sacred that Raymond has seen something that he shouldn't have and if he remembers that, then it will jeopardize the monopoly of Mr. Sebastian."

"Maybe !!! Maybe that's the truth. Maybe that's why he never wanted him to get well in the first place and gave him memory suppressants in the first place."

"But the thing is, how am I linked to it? If I was a part of that memory, then I should also be aware of that memory right? Initially, I thought he might be trying to keep us away so that Raymond doesn't remember something by seeing me. But then, even I am not aware of any such dreadful memory."

"So I am assuming it's something else."

Akira said and took a deep breath.

Dr. Nelson looked at her all quizzically and then said,

"There is something that I wanted to share with you."

"Regarding?"

"Regarding Raymond."

"What is it?"

Akira asked with a hint of worry reflecting in her eyes.

"During our session, I was trying to tap in to his powerful memories. And there was one memory related to his mother which I guess was quite powerful because I saw a spike in the waveforms as he recollected it."

"Oh, that I am aware of."

"What is it?"

"Actually his mother had committed suicide when he was quite young and that left a big scar in his life. He was very much attached to his mother and given the way of living that Mr. Sebastian had, I think when she couldn't bear it anymore, she took that dire step."

"Raymond always hated his dad because he thinks that he had pushed her to the brim, making her vulnerable to take that step. Ever since that incident happened, there is a friction in between them."

Dr. nelson thought for a while and then looking at Akira he said,

"It might sound very very wild to you, but is there any chance that his memory have been tampered with? I mean, maybe he remembers what he has been asked to remember. Maybe there is some other facet to the story, that is hidden under the layers of memory, which Mr. Sebastian doesn't want him to remember."

"But how can anyone tamper with his memory?"

"Trust me there are hundreds of ways of doing it. But maybe first I need to tap into that memory of his and extract what he knows."

"Well that can be tried, but how am I linked to that memory in any way. I just met him two years back."

"How old were you when this incident had happened to Raymond?"

"I must be in primary school."

Akira replied all confused, unable to understand what was running behind Dr. Nelson's mind.

"Then I guess all that we have to do is to figure out what he doesn't remember about that night."

"I guess."

Akira replied, still not convinced, but all hopeful.

"That would be the 24th."

The driver said as he halted the car in front of an apartment complex. 

"Where are your so-called men Akira?"

Akira smiled as she got out of the car and then pointed towards the two cars, which halted behind them.

Dr. Nelson, turned back and looked at the two black SUV's and saw five well-built men coming out of the car and taking the perimeter around the apartment.

"Are you convinced now with my arrangements?"

Akira smiled and looked at Dr. Nelson.

"Well as long as no one is hurt !!!"

Saying that Dr. Nelson smiled back and walked along with her towards the apartment lift.
