Avni entered her room to find her husband lying on the floor lifelessly.  He looked traumatized and pale.

Maneuvering slowly she reached him. "Get up Neil, I dont like jokes of this kind. So for God's sake just stop acting, get up and get lost. Noe I said." She said raising her voice and crossing her arms. She looked in the other direction waiting for him to get up.

After a fine 1 minute 30 seconds she realised he wasnt kidding. She bend down and sat beside him and began patting his face. Panic gushed down her veins as she realised he wasnt waking up.

With great difficulty the petite figure dragged him to their bed and called for the doctor.  Unknowingly streams of tears lost their way through her eyes, however she didnt realise.

*********

The doctor arrived with his briefcase having all essentials in it. He was a man in his late 40s, a pretty good looking man wearing polished suit and boots.

He checked Neil throughout with his stethoscope and injected some liquid through his syringe, while Avni fidgeted nervously with her fingers all this while.

The doctor finished his checking and ran his eyes rhythmically through Avni from top and bottom as she stood nervously still fidgeting with the corner if her dupatta.

"Does the patient have any medical history?" He questioned Avni.

"I dont Know" she replied simply shrugging her shoulders.

"You dont know? If I'm not wrong you're his wife right? That sindoor says it all." He said pointing to the pinch of red colour that covered her hairline.

"Yeah but it's been just 2 days since we got married. So its pretty obvious that I dont know anything. What the hell is wrong doctor will you please simply come to the point." Said Avni getting irritated. 

"The patient has had a panic attack it seems . He has got some shock due to which he panicked. Dont worry I've given him the necessary injection and yes please give him these medications on time. I was asking about his medical history so that these medicines dont have any kind of side effects on him." He said handing her a slip with all the medicines written down. Avni thoroughly ran her eyes through it. Her eyes widened as he tried to understand his beautiful handwriting.

"Well do you know why he panicked so much?" The doctor questioned raising his eyebrows.

"That's none of your business.  You were here to help, work is done now you may please leave. The door is that way." She said blatantly.

"There was no need if being that rude. Dont forget that I am a renowned doctor.  Anyways people nowadays have no shame and respect for doctors. Take care of him." Saying so he grabbed his briefcase and marched out of the house angrily.

Avni sighed. She shouldn't have done that.  He was a doctor afterall, what was his fault in all this. He was here to help. What he deserved was not what she gave him. Guilt rushed through her veins and she dropped herself on the couch behind her.

Sitting on it she rubbed her forehead as she saw Neil sleeping peacefully. Getting up slowly she left the room shutting the door behind her.

**********

It was a fresh new day. Avni sat on the table with breakfast and some warm tea on the table.  She continuously shook her leg as she waited for him to finally wake up and come downstairs.  She got to know about his arrival as she heard slow steps pacing towards the dining table. 

She lifted her lashes to face him, and she began to feel guilty unconsciously.  He looked too weak and pale from the last time she'd seen him.  She thought about it all night, " How could Neil be affected so much by all this when he himself was playing with her. " she thought to herself as she brushed her hairs with her hands and then with eye movement directed Neil to join her for breakfast.

He sat down and silently began eating the toast.  They stole glances of each other,  however none of them spoke.  Soon Neil finished eating and got from his chair. 

"Neil." Avni said in a soft voice, softer that last day. "Eat your medicines. " she said producing some tablets while he looked at her astonished, the happenings of last night still ringing in his head.

"Don't mistake my humanity to be something else." she said as she saw him gazing at her as if she were speaking Hebrew and then swiftly shifted her gaze from him.

While Neil nodded in positive and gobbled down the tablets one after the other and left to freshen.

Avni still sat on the table lost in her reverie rubbing the back of her neck with one hand and moving the fork on the empty plate with her other hand.
