Fever

Karan and Monami are married since a year now and are living a happy married life.

----------------
In the Evening :

Monami comes back from the hospital in a tired state . She wasn't feeling well since morning , but didn't tell Karan.

Karan calls Monami .

K - Hello !?

M(in a low tone ) - Hi Karan .

K - Monami , tum itna low kyu sound kar rhi ho , tumhari tabiyat toh thik hai na ?

M - Ha , I am good , bas thodi tired ho.

K - Are you sure !?

M - Yes ! Acha , tum batao tumne call kis liye kiya tha ? Koi kaam tha ?

K - Arré ha , main keh rha tha ki aaj mujhe ghar aate aate late ho jayega , toh tum khana jaldi kha lena.

M - okay , par tum kab tak aaonge ?

K - Monami , mujhe koi idea nhi hai , Batra Sir ke saath meeting hai , toh abhi ke liye kuch nhi bta.

M- Acha , chalo thik hai phir.

K - Suno , mera wait mat karna , aur khana kha ke so jana.

M - Thik hai , tum bas jaldi ghar aao.

K - Kya baat hai Rani sahiba , aapko aaj mujhe jaldi ghar bola ke kya karna hai , kya iraada hai aapka ?

M - Kuch bhi mat bolo Karan , apne meeting pe concentrate karo. Main phone rakh rhi ho. Bye and take care.

K -  Hmm , you too !

They both hung up.

At night :

Monami didn't feel like having her dinner , she was too tired to heat her food. 
So , she sat on the couch in their room , waiting for Karan.

Later , she didn't realise that she fell asleep.

At 12 a.m.

Karan returns back home , he enters the room to see Monami sleeping on the couch.

K(in mind) - Yeh Monami bhi na , kaha tha maine isse mera wait mat karna , tab bhi madam sunti kahan hai !? Pta nhi khana khaya hoga bhi ya nhi. ( with a sigh)

Karan goes and freshens up , then he goes and pick Monami in his arms. He took Monami to the bed and made her lie.

He was about to go , when Monami unconsciously held his hand.

M (mumbling ) - Mat jao na Karan .

K - Kahi nhi ja rha hai Rani sahiba.
Aur ek second , tumhara haath itna warm kyu lag rha hai.

He touches her forehead , she was burning with fever.

K (in mind ) - Isse toh bahut tez bukhar hai , tabhi yeh itna low sound kar rhi thi call par.

K (in a softer tone ) - Monami , Monami , utho .

M- Karan , sone do na .

K - Monami , dawai khalo phir soo jana.

M - Nhi mujhe nhi khana kuch bhi.

K - Ek second , tumne khana khaya ?

Monami didn't say anything. Karan understood she didn't have her dinner.
He got up and went to heat the food.

After a while
He came back with food in his hands.

K - Monami , utho . Chalo , khana kha lo .

Monami didn't wake up.
