After visiting the doctor , Shalini drove back to Arjun's home. She stopped the car in the traffic and noticed Arjun who was asleep but struggling to settle comfortably. She pulled him to her holding his face and made him lay on her shoulders. He snuggled into her while she patted his cheeks and started driving.

She parked the car and helped him to walk to the lift.

" Enna pa Arjun enna aachu? " A woman in old age walked to them.

Arjun: onu Ila ma.. Lite ah fever.

Shalini: ama Ama 104 degree lite fever tha.. She chided.

Arjun: yen ma..

" ithu yaru pa.. Oh un samsaram urula Irukanu sonaiya.. Vantala.. "

Arjun: Ah Ama Amma.. Peru Shalini.. Shalini ithu Amutha ma.. Nama floor tha..

Shalini: oh.. Epdi ma irukinga?

Amutha: na nalla iruken da un purushan tha nalla illa.. Mothala avana kootitu veetuku po.. Na Apram vanthu pakaran..

Shalini agreed and helped him walk to the lift.

She helped him sit on the bed and checked his temperature by placing the back of the palm.

Shalini: enna pa ithu Injection potu konja kooda korayala?

Arjun: ipa thena ma potu iruku time aagum.

Shalini: hmm seri neenga dress change panikonga.. Dress enga iruku..

Arjun: right cupboard la ma.

Shalini nodded and walked to the cupboard and returned with a pair of tees and tracks.

Shalini: change Panunga.. Na ipa vantharan.

She informed and left out to bring his medicines and water. She returned back to find him seated leaning on the headboard with closed eyes.

Shalini: neenga innum padukalaya?

Arjun: illa ma..

Shalini: seri intha tablet sapda munadi podanum potutu paduthukonga..

Arjun: kudu..

Shalini: na tharen..

She said and gave the tablet and water before helping him lay on the bed. Arjun got hold of her hands when she tried to get up from the bed.

Arjun: enga pora?

Shalini: sapda ethachu senju eduthutu varen.

Arjun: enaku venda ingaya iru..

Shalini: Ila ga tablet podanum illa.. Ipa vantharen Irunga..

Arjun: seekram va..

Shalini smiled ruffling his hair and left the room.

She returned after some to find asleep and placed the bowl of porridge and water she brought on the nightstand. She woke him up and helped him sit leaning on the headboard. She took a spoon of porridge and blew it before giving it to him.

Arjun: wak.. Ma enna ithu uppu illa Karamum illa..

Shalini: kanji vera eppadi ga irukum..

Arjun: apa enaku venda..

Shalini: sapdama eppadi pa tablet podrathu..

Arjun: enaku venda please.

Shalini: please konjam sapdunga.. Please Apa thana seri agum..

Arjun pouted while she pleaded with eyes making him give in and open his mouth. Shalini smiled and fed him the porridge slowly like feeding it to a kid.
