LIES

23.NAKED

After three days, three solid days since aarohi  started showing withdrawal symptoms, today, on the fourth day she feels a little energized,  after a troubled night's sleep, now has so much energy but a little bit
Aarohi is wide awake on her bed, again empty beside her, she felt a lot guilty,  thinking if Neil is Taking enough sleep or not, for the past three days, Neil is doing so much for her, he always doing so much for her, these past days, aarohi noticed him, he takes a lot in little detail, 
Neil has been carrying her everywhere for the past three days
Neil has been feeding her and doing laundry. He even messaged her feet when the pain is unbearable
Neil cuddles her to sleep, sometimes just rocking aarohi to sleep at night,
Aarohi took her phone from the stand, and call her brother Kairav,  giving him an update, on how she is doing ok, she asked about everyone at home, she smiled after listening to Kairav's reply, they all missing her, she doesn't believe that she was was did want to, but she couldn't,  she is lying from here, her bhaiya from that side about others missing them, they sure are used to now, not having her around much, that's what aarohi wanted too, she had a plan in the back of her mind, where she already said her goodbyes to them, it's sad but satisfying to her soul

Aarohi finally let her feet down, and after days, she can finally have the energy to walk, this feels good, a little good, she left her slowly,  only to find Neil,  sitting on the couch, doing something on her phone, she silently went near to him, Neil saw her standing near him, he puts his phone aside, but before he could do anything,  aarohi settled herself on her lap, her head on his chest, rest of the body nestled into his lap, Neil just engulfed her into him, it's not sexual at all, they were being this close, to others, this  might give an idea about their closeness

After some comforting silence, Neil spoke
"Why didn't you call me, I could have gotten you here " in a very soft voice
"I feel a little better, so I walked," replied aarohi with closed eyes
"Do you feel like having breakfast,  do you want anything specific,  you can have solids from today?" Neil asked while rubbing her back
"Yeah, well surprise me, while I brush my teeth, nothing spicy and heavy," said aarohi, still onto him, not making any move to get up
She still lay on top of him in a sitting position for about 10 minutes now, until Neil finally made a move to get her move

"I am making you a bowl of cereal,  any preference you have," said Neil while putting her on the side of the couch
"Almond milk, please, do we have bananas?" replied refusing to open her eyes
"On it" Neil goes to the kitchen
After five minutes into the kitchen, he saw from afar, she was still in the same position he left her
, Neil went near her, to check her body temperature, and it was normal, he jerks her
" do you want me to take you to the washroom,  to brush your teeth," asked Neil,  politely
"Nah, I just did " replied aarohi, now opening her eyes
"Did what?" asked Neil with a raised eyebrow
"Brushed my teeth, what kind of question is that" replied aarohi
"I think you need to brush them again, now do it before your milk gets cold" Neil replied while Walking
This is not the first time aarohi forgot things,  she did this multiple times in the last 24 hours,  the thing is now withdrawal turns more mental than physical,  Neil keeping this in the mind trying to act normal, when an episode like this happened,  forget to brush teeth is so small one, yesterday she asked where is Dr. Abhimanyu when his brother called him.

After having breakfast,  aarohi didn't make any move to get from there, although she finished her breakfast,  which is so rare, even for her, she was hungry and didn't want to stay that way, but not even 10 passed, she felt uneasiness,  she felt like throwing up, she quickly gets up and ran toward the bathroom,  suddenly Neil comes in front of her, before she could explain him, or move aside,  it hit her mouth, she threw up on his shirt and all over herself,  all the content she had for breakfast,  now in front of her
Aarohi is feeling so embarrassed,  and tears almost making their way, Neil saw this and grabs her hand to move them to the bathroom
After entering the bathroom,  Neil quickly removed his shirt and threw it in the corner
