Ms. Haughty Vs Mr. Thrifty ✅

Chapter 7

Sidharth was studying for his Costing Intermediate exams for the rest of the day. He looked at the clock it was 10pm but she didn't call him today.

I studied so well today without any disturbance. I hope she doesn't call me for few days atleast. I need to prepare for my exam as well which is in another 2 months. I will then enroll for the final stage which would take another year and a half. I just want to escape from here. By then our B.Com will also be over. She will free me from this contact.

Dips: Hi Sidharth! How are you?

Sidharth: I am doing good. Where is your friend today?

Dips: Who? Are you talking about Shen?

Sidharth: Yes!

Dips: Don't you know? I thought you would be aware since you are her personal assistant.

Sidharth: About what?

Dips: She isn't feeling well. She has got fever since yesterday.

Sidharth: What? But she was well until afternoon.

Dips: Yes, it started since evening. Our clothes got exchanged yesterday so I had called her at night, that's when I came to know about it.

Sidharth: Hmm.. okay!

Dips: Good for you else she would have been giving you a tough time.

Sidharth: I wouldn't wish bad for her though.

Dips: That's your greatness. Can we be friends Sidharth?

Sidharth: Huh? Yea.. Yes!

He goes and occupies his seat still thinking about Shehnaaz.

What happened to her? Why did she get fever all of a sudden? Should I call her or go and meet her? Not so good idea. She will be fine I suppose, let me enjoy my studies peacefully until she returns tomorrow and troubles me again.

Asim: Hey Bro, Dips wants to exchange her seat with mine. What's going on between you and her? (Smiles)

Sidharth: What? I have no idea. Why does she want to sit with me?

Asim: How would I know bro? But if you are okay with it then I will be the luckiest since once Shehnaaz is back, I will get to sit with her. What do you say? (Winks)

Sidharth: It's been 2 days, when will she be back?

Asim: Just got to know few minutes back that she has got Typhoid. It will take time some time. May be 2 to 3 weeks.

Sidharth: Oh God! I thought it's a normal fever and she will return soon.

Asim: Same here bro. I am missing her. Hardly she had started her college and now this.

Sidharth calls her on her mobile but it goes unanswered everytime.

I prayed to keep me away from trouble for few days so that I could find sometime to study but I never wanted it on this cost. I feel so guilty now. I can't even concentrate on my studies until I see or speak to her. But how do I go inside the mansion? I have gone in only when she gave instruction and permission to go inside. I am not her friend to just walk in. I am just her employee.

He plans to take Dips help in meeting her. The next day he asks Asim to exchange seats with Dips. Asim agrees since he was getting to be surrounded by Angle and Rin and again he would get to sit with Shehnaaz when she returns. Dips was really happy to sit with Sidharth.

Sidharth didn't wanted to disclose her the motive behind the seat exchange so he started the casual talking before he comes to the point.

Sidharth: Dipti, I hope your friend won't be angry that you exchanged seats with Asim.

Dipti: I hope not. We four have been friends since school days. She should also make new friends. Asim had been trying to be her friend from so long. Let him also get some chance. Besides I like sitting with you. I am glad that I got to exchange the seats while she is away. If she was there, she might not have allowed me to do this. Anyways, I don't think she will come for week or a two atleast. So I can enjoy without any tension.

Sidharth fell bad for Shehnaaz as her friend was happy that she was away and not feeling bad about her illness.

Sidharth: Did you speak to her anytime recently.

Dipti: Just once when I told you that my clothes got exchanged with hers. What a bummer, I wanted to wear my new clothes next week.

Sidharth: Why don't you visit her once and get your clothes as well? I can come with you too. Infact we can go after our college.

Dipti: Will you? Okay! Let me tell my servant to get her clothes.

Sidharth and Dips go in her car to the mansion. They approach the door of her room and Sidharth looks at her, she was lying in the bed awake and had an IV fluids been given through drips. A soft and soothing music was playing in the room. The nurse who sat beside her walks to go outside.

Dips: (Whispers to the nurse) Is this by any chance contagious?

Nurse: No

Sidharth observed her and shook his head in disappointment. Dips goes in while Sidharth hesitatingly stood at the door not knowing how she would react to see him there uninvited.

Dips: Hey Shen, How are you dear? I was missing you so much.

Sits on the chair dragging it a bit far from her bed

Shehnaaz: Feeling a bit better than yesterday. Though I feel exhausted and have headache and body ache as well. I feel nauseated at times. I miss you all as well. (Speaks very softly)

Dips: You will be fine soon. Take good rest.

Shehnaaz feels vomiting sensation.

Shehnaaz: Can you call the nurse please, I feel like puking.

Dips: Yeah hold on!!

She makes a face and runs outside to find the nurse.

Shehnaaz struggles to sit. Sidharth runs close to her and supports her to sit. She puts one hand in front of her mouth and with the other which had a needle pierced for IV, points a finger at the black plastic bag kept for vomiting.

He immediately grabs the plastic and places infront of her mouth. While she pukes in it, he rubs her back to calm her down. Once she was done, he gives her glass of water to sip and spit into the plastic.

The nurse comes inside the room. She takes the plastic from his hand to dispose. Dips stood far from the bed with a yucky face. Sidharth supports her to lie back on the bed.

Shehnaaz: Thanks.

Sidharth: No problem. Are you okay Ma'am?

Shehnaaz looks at him and nods her head. She didn't wanted to hear the word Ma'am in this situation.

Nurse: I need to give her medicine. You can wash your hands there.

Sidharth nods and washes his hands and comes back.

Dips: Shen, I got your clothes which got exchanged at the mall.

Shehnaaz points her finger at the table where all the shopping bags lied untouched.

Sidharth looks at it.
She was feeling sick on that day itself. She didn't even open the bags. Was that the reason she was quiet in the car while coming home?

He goes near the window and looks out, he could see his quarters from there. Suchi was strolling and studying near her window. The nurse was done with giving her medicines.

Dips: I got it. (Smiling) Here, I am keeping your bag. We got to go. Sidharth let's go!

Shehnaaz nods and looks at Sidharth. He turns around and looks at her. She smiles at him for the first time. He gave her smile back automatically without realizing.
