Life of Problems

chapter 34

Hello Ema, Jiya is in. Joe said over the call.

Oh! That's a relief that you found her, l sighed.

Listen. After she is in, take her directly to the supertendend. She has very high temperature.She is ill?

Yeah, kick her hard if she resist to go.

I laughed slightly. Okay, I will. Bye then .

Bye. Oh! And tell her we are on our way to boys hostel.

Okay, l said confusedly. He cutted the call.Jiya entered the room quietly. She was looking so pale and weak. Kathy threw herself on her.Sister! I thought you have left permanently. I was damn scared. I could never forgive myself if 

you did so. I...

Kathy! Stay way, Jiya said in a low voice.Are you still angry on me, sister? I am so sorry. I am a damn idiot. You can slap me hard if you want, just don't stay angry.....

Kathy, Jiya said weakly. Stay away cause I have fever. You can be infected.

Right,l said. Let me see....oh! It's so high! Where were you all day like this?I'm sleepy,let me go to b.... what do you mean? I said irritatedly. You are going straight to 

hospital. Joe has told me.

Ema... it's just fever. Hospital is really not needed. I am..No excuses. Stay here, l am calling aunty. Oh! I turned as l remembered. Joe said that they are on their way to boys hostel.

Jiya stared blankly for a moment then muttered, seriously? Idiot!

Hey, sister, l am really sorry. I was just thinking about myself. I shouldn't have talked like... it's alright Kathy. Doesn't matter.

Really? Kathy screamed happily. You really aren't angry on me?

Hush! It's quite late Kathy. You will wake others up.Opps! What is your temperature anyway? It's too hot. Have you checked? Kathy asked.No.I think there's a thermometer, let me find it. Kathy started searching around.

No need. If l am going to hospital,then they will check it for me.

Oh right, Kathy said.

Jiya? Called a woman's voice. Stella aunty?

Let me take you to the hospital. Yeah, your fever is really high. You should have called me before.

Uhh, okay.Can we come also? Kathy said.

You...no need,Jiya interrupted her. What will you do there? Rest well.

Okay. Bye then,l said uneasily.

Yeah,bye. Kathy? She turned.

Huh?

Not anymore, bye. Kathy smiled broadly.

After 5 days,

Welcome back dear, whispered Joe to Jiya as she sat beside him.

Since when I became your dear,huh? Jiya asked irritatedly.

You're dear cause I missed you, Joe muttered.Hmm?

Nothing . You spent 5 days at hospital cause of your just fever? Joe joked.

Well, the doctor said l had anemia. I received a bag of blood too. And also...What?

Nothing.

You don't take any type of therapy for your disease? You were nightmaring that night also,l guess.

Jiya's face turned pale. That's the topic she wanted to avoid. I took. They gave a lot of sleeping peels, l mean something like that. Jiya sounded bitter.

Do you take them regularly?

It gives hell like feeling, Jiya muttered. All day head keeps aching. Why will I?

What? Pardon please.Nothing. I have left those. Don't help at all.

You know what? Peels can't help, if you don't help yourself. Cure of psychological disease is hugely upon your believes. Try to return that time, before that....murder? Jiya interrupted. Accident, Joe said irritatedly. Don't keep blame yourself. You just need to believe that you weren't the reason of her death. It was an accident and you could die too

You know what your problem really is? Even if someone suicide before you, you will blame yourself. Can't you be a little more careless. About Jwel, about that accident, about..Why are you suddenly becoming so concerned about me? Have got some new research idea on 

me, did you? Jiya said coolly.

Jiya, Joe said through gritted teeth. I said I didn't mean that. It was just cause..Cause what?

Nothing. Just forget that and listen to me. Learn to be careless. Don't live over the past. Let me tell you that...

Thanks for your advice but let me remind you,l told you to get out of my life, said Jiya coldly. So, 

stay out of that.

I...Joe was about to say something when the teacher entered.Good morning teacher, said everyone loudly and pulled the end of their argument.
