Our Way Back

18. Hospitalized

Both the boys were worried for Vishal, they could see the change in his health. He was weak and pale and couldn't even speak properly.

"Vishal should I inform you parents?", Adnan asked softly

"Please don't they would stress over this"

"But we have to tell na Vishal", added Rushi.

"Okay but we will first visit the doctor then I will tell them myself ", Vishal assured.

"Fine come get changed and we will leave", said Adnan supporting him to get up as Vishal's whole body was weak.

"But it's so early morning", Rushi understood his question and said,

"It's okay we live in Mumbai not in some jungle that we won't find a doctor", Rushi said.

"Yeah someone would be available", Adnan added.

As they reach the hospital the doctor available at that moment suggests them to let him be there in the hospital under observation as he has food poisoning.

He tells them that they would keep him on a light diet and make sure he isn't dehydrating himself also he has prescribed some antibiotics for him. Poisoning isn't severe so maybe in a day or 2 they will discharge him.

Adnan Rushi inform his parents there is nothing to worry about and that he will be fine.
Around noon his fever was treating him better. His parents were with him and Adnan Rushi left for home to freshen up.

Rohit had called Vishal to check up on him in the afternoon and got to know he was admitted. Though it was nothing serious he insisted to come to see him in the evening.

Adnan Rushi too convinced Vishal's parents to go home and not worry about him as they would stay back.

Around 8pm in the evening a nurse came to check him and Vishal insisted Adnan Rushi to go and eat. They told him that they would come back quickly!

Rohit thought of once informing Advika about Vishal and let her know that he would be going him visit him. She insisted to accompany him knowing very well that she might have to face Adnan Rushi or worse, Vishal's parents there.

Rohit enters first into Vishal's hospital ward.
Vishal sits up adjusting the pillow behind his back seeing them.

"Hey", Rohit says sweetly.
Advika follows Rohit inside after a few seconds. Vishal was surprised to see her. He didn't expect her to come to visit him.

"Oh both of you are here!", Said Vishal surprised.

"Hi", Advika muttered.

"How are you brother? Since morning you're here?"

"Yeah better than morning", replied Vishal stealing glances at Advika.

Rohit and Advika settle on the stools beside Vishal's bed.

Rushi and Adnan return to Vishal's ward and heard him talking to someone.

"Who is he talking to?", Adnan said looking at Rushi
Rushi peeps in through the small glass on the door and sees the back of Advika and Rohit and gives Adnan a i-dont-know look. They enter inside curiously.
Rohit and Advika turn back to face them.

Rushi's expressions suddenly turn strange with the sudden encounter.

"Hey, they just came a few minutes back. Did you two eat?", Asked Vishal.

They both just nodded looking at Vishal and gave a small forced smile to Rohit and Advika.

Rohit sensed the building awkwardness in the room. Though he had no idea about what was between Rushi Adnan and Advika, he felt something wrong.

"How are you guys", Rohit asked Adnan and Rushi.

"Fine until now", Rushi kept his reply short and said it looking at Advika.

"We are good that's what he meant", Adnan cleared up for Rushi glaring at him.

Still Advika could sense Rushi's anger and sarcasm.
While on the other hand Vishal was in a state of total confusion with the vibe that was created in the room.

He felt something was wrong with Advika cause she was silent the whole time and Adnan Rushi were also behaving weird.

"Yeah so Rohit I'll be fine by day after tomorrow so you can schedule my shoot from them onwards", Vishal said to Rohit.

"Oh yes yes don't worry about that tell me when you feel perfectly fine. Health is more important. I will talk to sir also don't worry", Rohit assured Vishal with his beautiful smile.

Advika felt grateful towards Rohit for letting Vishal rest and not stressing him more with the workload.

"Even I will talk to sir personally because of me the work in stuck", Vishal felt a little.guilty but he couldn't help it.

"Listen it's really fine trust me", Rohit said.

Advika was extremely restless. She knew if Vishal and Rohit wouldn't have been there the  Adnan Rushi would have bombarded her by now!
