Where My Heart Belongs

Chapter 29" Good Morning"

(is anybody here?)

Shivaay: Anika? I am here

Anika opened her eyes faintly and swallowed hard

Anika in a whisper: Shivaay? (then she licked her lips with faint smile) can you bring me some water? my throat is very dry

Shivaay nodded yes hard and stood quickly looking around him on a bottle of water, till he found one but didn't find a cup there was none and looking on Anika swelled lips, he knew how hard it will be for her to drink from the small opening of the bottle

Shivaay: I can't find a cup here I will go ask the nurses for one

And he was about to go but

Anika: Shivaay?

Shivaay looked at her worried and held her hand while holding the bottle of the water in his other hand as she smiled faintly to him and sit straight and took the bottle of the water from his hand

Anika faintly: can I borrow your hand?

Shivaay confused: what?

Anika smiled faintly and held his both hands and rubbed his palm with tip of her fingers with a tired smile then stuck both his palms to each other side cupping them a little as he surrendered to her, wondering what her next action is .

Anika merely in low tone: this an "Anika" trick

Shivaay nodded faintly as she put her both palms under his palms and he felt the tingling in his body stronger than ever that Anika felt his shiver

Anika with a faint smile: hold still or you will drench us both

Shivaay nodded faintly as she filled his palms with water and put her lips the side of his palms, then raise them a little and closed her eyes as he widened his eyes feeling the water as it go out of his palms and between her lips ! and his heart pounding fiercely in his chest She could have put his hand in the bottom instead of hers just for support but she didn't !!

She wanted him to feel this moment, to live this feeling, that he helped to sooth her pain

She finished drinking the water from his hand and then she smiled to him in gratitude as if his help just gifted her life that what made Surbhi different than anyone else he met in his life, since he was child in his most helpless and weakness she always made him feel that he is in this world for a great reason he is in this world for her ! what could be a better reason than this for his existence?!!

Anika smiled faintly and wiped his hand over her head then leaned on the pillow but for her surprise he caressed her hair so kindly and gently and said

Shivaay: good morning, Anika

Anika smiled and said: you didn't ask me to wish you first? and it's not 9: 12 I assume

Shivaay smiled widely and said: well, my watch says its 9: 12

Anika chuckled then moaned in pain and touched her lips that pained with wide smile and for her surprise Shivaay flinched and his smile vanished with her faint moan of pain and as if blood suddenly drained from his face

Shivaay: are you in pain? you want me to call the doctor?

Anika: No, it's not a big deal it just every part in my body aching ( then she looked at Shivaay and said) what happen to me suddenly?

Shivaay sadly: you are highly allergic to berries your immune system refuse them and consider them danger, just as if you took a poison and trigger a protective response what happened to you is the protective response

Anika eyes widened and said: so to protect me, it kills me?(then she frowned and said) only my immune system can be that crazy

Shivaay chuckled and said: no not only your immune system is crazy, that is how allergy works but it's different in its severity and in your case its very severe so you shouldn't eat berries again
