A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 29

*Shrishti Pov*

"Madam!" I groaned when I felt someone shaking me and slowly opened my eyes to find one of the helpers looking at me worriedly.

"What happened, Aunty?" I asked clearing my throat while she checked my forehead.

"How are you feeling, Madam?" she asked back and I took a deep breath before letting out a yawn.

"I am fine now. Don't worry about me. I can even go to work after this weekend." I replied smiling but she didn't smile back.

"It's true! It's already been three days since I felt sick and I am fine now." I assured her and she slowly nodded before stepping back.

I glanced at the clock on the bedside to find it's already past eleven. I gave her a smile and got down from the bed but immediately returned to my previous posture when I started feeling dizzy.

"Can you prepare some food, Aunty? I guess I need to eat something to get some strength." I mumbled and she immediately nodded but didn't move from her place.

"What happened?" I repeated the question from earlier.

"Sir's Mom and someone else is here, Madam. It's been a few hours since they came and we already got them settled in guest rooms but Sir's Mom doesn't look happy when we told her that you were resting." She explained and all I could do was to stare at her.

I felt surprised for a few seconds but then anxiousness took over that feeling and now I don't know how to handle his Mom when I can't even handle myself.

"Okay! I will come down soon. Prepare good lunch for them and no need to prepare anything special for me as there is not much time and I will have lunch with them." I mumbled and she hesitantly walked out of the room while I took my phone.

It will be just after midnight right now at his place and there is no use to tell him about this right now by disturbing his sleep. I am sure he doesn't know she came here otherwise he would have given a heads-up for me.

After freshening up, I climbed downstairs only to pause at the last step finding out who is the other person with Aunty.

I should have known it would be her but decided to wait with my judging until I am sure of it.

"Good Mor... Afternoon, Aunty!" I greeted her smiling at her and gave the other person a polite nod.

Why are they here suddenly? As far as I heard, Aunty and Uncle never visited this place much and his friends never came here.

"Good Afternoon, Shrishti! You just woke up?" I ignored Lisa's words before glancing at the dining area.

"Lunch must be prepared, Aunty. Why don't we..." Lisa cut me off asking, "Already? It is just past twelve. Oh! You must not have eaten from the morning. You can continue while I will have lunch with Aunty at the proper time."

At first, I really wanted to have lunch with them and even wait for some time while ignoring my hunger but now I don't want to care about anything.

I better gather some energy to deal with Lisa's taunts or any of her plans to show her so-called closeness with Aunty. I sighed walking towards the dining area and smiled at the person who started serving me.

"How are you feeling now? Why don't I call a doctor from the village?" she offered but I shook my head.

"I was tired recently with work and it had an impact on my body. I will be fine if I continue to take a rest during the weekend." I assured her and she smiled before walking away.
