"Achoo!!"

Ishita sneezes for the tenth time and starts shivering.

"See! Take revenges from me and suffer!" Raman scolded Ishita and handed her a mug of hot coffee.

After playing with water, Ishita was the last one to leave the lake. The weather had also changed and Ishita ended up being sick. Due to the change in weather, everyone was sent back into their tent.

Raman picks up a warm blanket and wraps it around her. He sits beside her and takes her shivering hand in his and starts rubbing them to give her warmth.

"I shouldn't ha– Achoo!! I shouldn't have taken revenge." Ishita says feeling extremely guilty.

"Yeah. Fine, you decided to take revenge.." Raman says and takes her another hand in his before continuing,"..but seriously? You decided to put my T shirt on fire? What if I would have got burnt?"

"That was what I was planning." Ishita mutters under her breath.

"Hey! I heard you." He smacks her head making her giggle.

He gives her a  side hug and she keeps her head on his chest. Raman feels a unknown feeling as she lies in his arm.

He puts the back of his palm on her forehead.

"Oye, You're burning. You have fever." Raman complains and immediately rushes to get a cloth and cold water with medicines from the teacher.

Ishita sneezes and shivers due to fever. She lies down on top of her sleeping back.

Raman returns back with medicines. He makes Ishita get up and hands her the medicines and water. She gulps down the medicines and lies down again.

Raman pours cold water into a bowl and dips the strip of cloth into it before putting it on her forehead.

He caresses her hairs and half-lies down beside her.

She drifts into slumber and clutches onto his T shirt like a baby. Raman unknowingly pulls her closer and pecks her forehead.

"Raman! Raman! Get up!"

Ishita shakes Raman but as he was up whole night to take care of her, he didn't get up.

"Shut up and let me sleep." Raman murmurs and sleeps again.

"Fine. Don't get up. We're going to for hill climbing today!"

Raman immediately gets up.

"Just because of you I wasn't able to sleep. Fine, I'm up." Raman huffs angrily and gets up.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have troubled you." Ishita apologises sadly.

"Hey, it's okay. I could at least do this." Raman's eyes soften.

"But when we return back don't expect the same behaviour." Raman says going back to his arrogant mode

"Hmph! Go!" Ishita sighs.

After Raman changes and freshens up, they walk out together.

"How's your fever?" Raman asks adjusting his hairs.

"I'm fine now. Thank you." Ishita smiles at him genuinely and he smiles back.

"Hey! Love birds." Mihika chirps.

"Oh please!" Both Raman and Ishita say together immediately.

"Okay okay. Sorry." Mihika giggles and Mihir stands beside her.

"So...Bhai! Today we're going for hill climbing." Mihir looks at Raman and grins.

He turns towards Ishita and says,"You know what,Ishita? Last time when he went for hill climbing with his family, he had almost fallen down and he was crying throughout the journey."

Ishita raises her eyebrows with amusement.

"He? And crying?" Ishita laughs while Raman scoffs.

"Excuse me! I was just 8 years old." Raman defends himself.

"Oh wait! I'm talking about the hill climbing you did last year."

"Mihir! I'll kill you!" Raman shouts and runs behind Mihir who runs away laughing.

******

"Sshh! It's gonna be fine. Don't worry." Raman grips on Ishita's waist as she holds onto him tightly due to fear.

The instructor had told them everything they needed to know and had made them wear the belts and hook that was hooked on the belt that was around their waist preventing them from falling.

Unfortunately, Ishita was too excited for hill climbing that she had worn the belt but forgot to hook herself to the hook.

She realized it when they had climbed half of the hill and she was about to fall. Raman noticed it and immediately grabbed her waist.

Ishita had then buried her face in his neck and held onto him.

"Raman. I'll-I'll fall." Ishita shouts with fear.

"I'm here na." Raman encourages.

"N-No!" Ishita gulps and looks below her. Even though she was not scared of heights, she was now scared as there was nothing but land that would break her bones if she fell. She had no safety so if she slipped she would say Tata-Goodbye to this world.

Raman thinks for a while how to calm her down.

Raman brings her closer and places a kiss on her neck to distract her and that succeeds.

He slowly starts climbing up and continues showering kisses on her neck.

Everyone was too busy with themselves so no one noticed them.

"Raman.." Ishita holds back a moan when he places a kiss behind her ear.

He climbs along with her and places a kiss near her mouth.

They reach the top and Raman leaves her immediately making her look away flushed and embarrassed.

"See. I distracted you with my kisses!" Raman winks at her.

"I hata you!" Ishita punches him.

"I'm such a hottie!" Raman laughs.

"Oh please! You face is like that of a buffalo."

"I'm a Buffalo? Then you're a cow. A big fat cow!" Raman exclaims.

"You called me fat?" Ishita asks horrified.

"Yes, cause you are fat!" Raman smirks.

"You should never call a girl fat." Ishita yells.

"The truth is truth. I know of hurts. Don't worry. No one can change it." Raman taps her shoulder with fake sympathy.

"Oh? Then the truth that your face is like a buffalo might also hurt,"

"At least I'm not a cow."

"Means you admit you're a Buffalo?"

"Raman! Ishita! Are you both planning to stay up for the whole day? Or will you even cone down? Everyone else has returned except you two!"

The teacher yells throufht the mike.

"Ugh!" Both groan and climb down together.

Happy Birthday @ishralover
Sorry dear I saw your request late. I immediately wrote it for you.
My whole day went like hell😶. I woke up at 12:30 PM and there was no water and no light and I had to wait till 2PM for the light then I took bath. My mum didn't make my fav dish so I didn't eat anything. Later, I slipped from the stairs and sprained my leg😭. When I thought to do my holiday homework, my brother spilled water all over it. So now you can understand how my day went😶. Seriously, I'm still crying with the pain. My foot😭
