Bewitched

Chapter 15

Srusti's POV

It was about 11:30 PM and he was still not back. Both his mom and daadi both were hospitalized. I hope both of them were fine now. It seems that Maya was his sister.

I was waiting for him to come home so that I serve food to him again. He had not eaten much for the whole day.

He was having his breakfast when Maya called him and after talking to him, he was so irritated that he stopped eating the breakfast just after having 2 bites. I felt bad for him as he was enjoying it so much.

He didn't even send for lunch and when he came back home he looked so tired. I asked if he had breakfast and lunch or not, he just shook his head and went to his room.

I heated the soup and took some soup sticks and served it to him.

" You have not eaten anything since morning, please have this, I will serve the food in 15 minutes. This is broccoli soup. "

I was laying at the table and he started having soup and finished it very fast and was checking his phone.

He served food on his plate and
started eating the food very fast,  I gave him water.

" I know you are very hungry but you must eat slowly. You might chock on it. "

" The food is very good, I am very hungry and I am in a hurry. " He said taking another bite.

His phone started ringing, he got so annoyed that he picked up the call and had a hot argument and I again went inside.

" What ?? " He shouted and got up very fast. The glass of water got knocked and the water spilt on the table.

I ran out with a kitchen towel to wipe the water.

" WHAT??  are you saying, Maya?? How are they?? " He was shocked.

" OH GOD !! I am coming..."  He said running towards his room.

I was shocked to see his shocked and scared expression.

"  What happened??  "  I asked and he said that he had to go to the hospital as his daadi and mom were hospitalized. I asked him, Shall I come with him but he refused and ran out.

" Drive slow, please !!! " I called after him but I am not sure if he heard or not.

I was still waiting for him sitting in the living room... Being alone in such a big house at this time of night was making me nervous and I was worried for his mom and grandma.

I switched on the tv to distract myself but it was very boring. I switched on a music channel and I don't remember when I dozed off.

*****

I heard a sound as if someone was walking around in the home. I got up immediately and saw that Mohit was taking out a glass and was filling it with a drink.

" You are back?? How are they?? I was waiting here for you... Why didn't you wake me up? "  I said but he didn't say anything.

" Wait !! You have not eaten anything you must not drink... I will get food for you. " I got up and took out food on a plate and put it in a microwave.

" I don't want anything... Thanks for waiting... but you should not have. Please go and sleep. "

" No !! Wait, please... It is not healthy to not have anything for the whole day and on top of that, you want to drink?? No... Not done. " The microwave beeped and I got the food for him.

" Please leave me alone... " He said in a louder voice.

" No... Eat this food first.  "

" What is your problem?? "  He asked in a very high voice. I flinched a bit but I knew that he was upset so I kept standing there.
