AYAAN'S P.O.V

"Aashi, wake up," I called out softly, but there was no response.

"What a heavy sleeper!"

I tried shaking her more and more.

"Aashika, wake up." I called out a little loudly. But when she still didn't wake up, I went to the bathroom, wet my hands, and gently placed them on her face. She couldn't stand the cold.

She sat on the bed, holding her blanket close and rubbing her eyes. She always looked cute when she did that. But I still remember how she sneak out of the house. She doesn't even like college but still she went to the college after my disapproval.

"Aashika, you're up," I asked relieved.

She looked at me with confusion and asked, "You're angry, Ayaan."

Am I angry? Yes I'm . I do have a reason for this. I'm her husband. She should like me not Deepak. She acts like some teenage girls. Wait she is a teenage girl only but I don't want her to have a crush on my brother.

"No, darling, I'm not angry. Why should I be angry? Do I have a reason to be angry?" I asked giving her a sweet smile but a knowing one which could tell I know about her little act today.

She started biting her lips and playing with her fingers, looking down.

I sat on the bed in front of her, trying to make her look at me. "Aashika, is there something you want to tell me?"

She shook her head, indicating no. But who is gonna tell her she isn't good at lying. Her face gives away everything.

I sighed in frustration. "Okay, tell me, did you rest today?" I asked her.

"I... I did," she replied.

"Did you leave the house?"

"No, I was sleeping. That's why I forgot to take my medicine."

"You didn't leave the house? Are you sure?" I ask again leaning close to her.

"Aashika, did you leave the house or not?"

"Yes, I did, but I promise I come back after an hour or so. I didn't stay outside for long. " She said with a speed of light and pinched her neck swearing to god.

" Where? "

" College " She whispered and looked down.

" Over the call I told you to eat something healthy. So what did you ordered? " I ask with rise eyebrows. She leaned back before answering me.

"I ordered Fries and a burger but u didn't eat fries. I had a burger. Technically, a burger contains tomato, onion, potatoes, and buns, so it's not unhealthy. I'm sorry," she said, looking at me now.

"Why are you sorry, Aashika? You did well. You had a burger, which according to you is very healthy, and you went to college just to see Deepak."

She quickly hugged me tightly, resting her head on my chest, and apologized. If she think this hug can calm me down then she is right. At the end she is just a teenage girl who is forced into marriage. I can't blame her for not changing entirely just after a few days of our marriage.

"Don't be angry, my head is already hurting." She whisper.

I hugged her back and placed her on my lap, but remained silent. I grabbed the thermometer from the bedside table.

"Open your mouth," I asked looking down at her.

She obediently did as i instructed. Good girl.

After a minute, I removed it and read the temperature. I helped her get into laid position on bed.

"Aashi, I'm going to the shop to get your medicine. Before I come back, please change into something comfortable and wear a loose dress. Why do you wear jeans at home?" I ask patting her thighs. She pulled her blanket staying quiet.

"Oh, I forgot to change after coming home. And you gave me fever medicine last night, so why are you going outside?"

"Because the medicine I need is not at home. You stay here and watch something until I come back," I said, and left the house.

Third Person's p.o.v

"Now that he's gone, I should also change," she thought to herself. She changed her clothes and got under the blanket, covering herself from head to toe.

After some time, Ayaan entered the room and noticed her all covered up.

He smiled and removed the blanket from her face.

She looked at him annoyed.

"You don't have a cough, right? Aashi, don't lie."

"I don't, and don't disturb me. Let me sleep." She said irritated removing his hand from her.

"I'm not disturbing you. Can you just turn to the other side?"

" Why " She asked confused.

" Injection, you had fever from yesterday. Since it didn't come down from medicine then I need to use it so that you can recover quickly and see your brother Deepak tomorrow. " Ayaan said with chuckle. He started preparing the shot. Aashika looked at him then his hands, which was holding the injection.

Upon hearing the word "injection," tears welled up in her eyes. She sat on the bed, clutching her blanket tightly.

"No, I don't want it. Why should I turn? I don't want an injection. Give me pills instead, I will take them," she protested.

"I will give you the pills, but this injection is necessary. It will bring down your fever and alleviate your cold immediately," he explained sweetly. But she shool her head. Ayaan sat besides her cupping her cheeks.

" It will not hurt Aashi. I will do it very slowly. You can trust me with close eyes."

"Then give it to me in my hand," she said, her lips trembling.

"Aashi, we are not discussing the hand topic right now. If you are scared, that's fine. If you are shy, then it's not. Look it's so normal. Now what can i do, we innocent doctors have to do it " he said and chuckle again. He patted her sides referring her to lay down.

" RIGHT NOW "  He said sternly since she was still sitting.

Upon hearing him tone, she immediately turned onto her stomach and looked away.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt," he assured her, kissing her head from behind.

She remained silent as he lifted her shirt and pulled down her pants to administer the injection. Just when the needle entered in her skin she flinches and tried to move, but he held her firmly.

"Babe, it's done," he said, removing the needle. She cried silently as he discarded the needle.

He came and lay beside her, about to hug her, but before he could, Aashi hugged him from the front.

He wrapped his arm around her body and began rubbing her back, knowing her sensitivity.

"I wouldn't talk to you, you idiot. I want to go back to mom. She doesn't scold me as much as you did in just an hour. It would take her at least a day to scold me as much as you did," she expressed, still hugging him.

He withdrew his hand and adjusted her clothes, kissing her cheek. "Let's have dinner after some time, okay? And don't cry, you look cute when you cry, and I want to kiss you," he said, covering them both and turning on the TV.

" If all patients become shy then how will the doctor do their work girl. " Ayaan ask rising his both eyebrows seeing his wife red face.

" Don't look at me like this. I've done operation and.... And you don't need to know other things. By the way I'm cardiologist. I will keep your heart healthy.... Since this heart just need love." Ayaan said chuckling to himself . Aashika punched him and again snuggled into him.

After some time, they had their meal and drifted off to sleep.
