Nandini's POV..
It was 5 of the evening and I was busy in
kitchen.
"Mam..! Sir has come..!"Mohan came in and
I nodded. I walked to our room and entered.
I saw him lying on the bed with eyes closed.
He even didn't took off his shoes nor his
blazer. His eyes were closed with legs
hanging down. I smiled and sat beside him.
"Manik..!"I called him softly and ruffled his
hair..! He opened his eyes lazily and look at
me.
"Hi..!"He said smiling a little and I too
smiled..
"How was your day?"I asked smiling at him.
"It was good..! And I missed you..!"He said
lovingly kissing my knuckle..
"I missed you too hubby..!"I said with a
chuckle and he hummed. Then he again
closed his eyes holding my hand tightly on
his chest. I became a little worried..
"Manik? Are you ok?"I asked kissing his
forehead and freak! It was burning!
"Manik you have fever..!"I almost
screamed tried to got up and he held my
hand more tigthly..!
"Hey..! Don't worry I am ok..!"He said
weakly and I freed my hand..
"No no no..! You are not ok..! Get up and lie
straight..!"I said angrily and he obediently
got up. I took his blazer and shoes. Then he
quietly laid down and I covered him with
blanket. "Har wakt bus kaam kaam kaam..!
Sari dunya ki tension apny sir pay
lay kay ghoomty hain but apna koi khayal
nahi..! Pagal hoon na me jo ap ki tension
laite hoon..!"I shouted angrily as soon as I
checked his temperature with thermometer
it was 104..! While he was smiling..
"Stop smiling..!"I shouted loudly and he
placed his finger on his lips obediently.
"You make me so gussa..!"I shouted again
and stormed out of the room to call the
doctor and get ice cold water for him.
I came back with ice bowl and cloth strips In
my hand. Doctor must be here any minute
and Manik was just lying closing his eyes.
I sat beside him and feeling my presence he
opened his eyes.
"Tum meri tension ni lo Nandu..!"He said
softly as I placed a cloth strip on his
forehead and I bit my lower lip.
"Q Manik? Meri sari tensions ap ki and what
about your tensions? Manik ap ny kabhi
socha hai agr ap ko kuch ho gya tou ma-
main..! Mera kon hai Manik?"I said as my
throat choked with emotions and he
immediately got up..
"Hey..! It's just a mild fever me bilkul theek
hoon..! See..!"He cupped my cheeks and
pecked my forehead..
"Bus you lie down..!"I said sadly and he laid
down again. Suddenly the door knocked and
Doctor came in.
"What happened to this young man?"Doctor
asked cheekily and I stood near the bed.
"Just a little fever doctor..!"Manik himself
spoke.
"Let doctor decide whether it's little or
not..!"I interrupted him and he winked
at me naughtily I gave him an angry glare.
"Well the fever is not that little..! Actually
you are restless and you need to sleep
properly..! I am prescribing some medicines
give him on time and don't stop this cold
water strip thing it will help to normalize
the fever early..! And check his fever in
every two hour..!"Doctor said to both of us
and gave me the prescription chit. "Get well
soon Mr.Malhotra..! Your wife is very
worried for you..!"Doctor said patting
Manik's shoulder and he smiled nodding his
head. Then doctor left..! I sat beside Manik
and he held my hand.
"Please tum preshan nahi ho na..!"He
pleaded and kissing my knuckles..
"Then get well soon..!"I said kissing his
forehead..
"Paka..! I will..!"He bobbed his head like a
obedient child.
"Main soup laati hoon ap k liye phir ap
medicine laina aur so jana..! Abhi
doctor ny bola na that you need rest..!"I said
caressing his hair and he smiled. Then I
went and came with a veggie chicken cream
soup. Slowly and gently I fed him. He was
just smiling all the time and was staring at
me.
"Bus..!"He turned his face when the half
bowl was done.
"Manik..! A little more please..!"I pleaded but
he didn't agreed. I can understand in fever
nothing tastes good. I gave him medicine
and he again laid down but this time in my
lap. I started placing wet cloth on his head
and due to sedatives he dozed off. Should I
tell Manik about Mom? No he is already
stressed..! I think it won't be good..! Yes at
least not now..! I rested my head with the
back of headboard and checked his
temperature. It was coming to normal but
not perfectly normal. So I kept placing wet
cloth until and I didn't realized when I too
dozed off..
-------------------------------------
Manik's POV..
I woke up due to thirst and I remembered I
dozed off in Nandini's lap. I tried to got up
but Nandini's hand was in my hair. I look at
her and she was sleeping. I look at my cell
phone and it was past midnight. She must
hurt her back if she will sleep like this.
I checked my forehead and it was normal
now. I slowly got up and she stirred opening
her eyes.
"Manik..! How's your fever..?"She
immediately asked and checked my
forehead..
"Shh..! Bus..! I am ok..! Fever ni hai..!"I held
her hands and she sighed. Suddenly she
hugged me and hide her face in my neck..
"I was scared..!"She whispered in my neck
and I caressed her hair..
"Scared q?"I asked softly and I laid back on
the bed with her in my arms.
"Ap sachi theek ho na?"She asked sadly and
I made her look at me.
"Bilkul theek..! You took so good care of
me..! Theek kesy na hota haan?"I asked
tucking few strands behind her ear and she
finally smiled..
"You are my superhero..! I love you..!"She
whispered lovingly and came near my lips
for a kiss but I moved a little back. "Hey?
Kya hua?"She was startled, Shocked!
"Wo..! I have fever na! Tou what if you will
get germs?"I said sheepishly. She paused for
a moment and slapped my shoulder angrily.
Then without giving me time to protest she
fused our lips and came over me. I couldn't
resist but to kiss her back. My hands
traveled in her hair and she griped my
shoulders. Don't know for how long we kept
kissing but finally broke apart gasping for
air..!
"Now you sleep..!"She said softly and made
me hide my face in her hair.
"Your hair..! These are my heaven..!"I
whispered sleepily as she traced my nape
lightly..
"Shhh! Sleep..!"She spoke as her lips pressed
over my head. And I dozed off..
