From cameras to your heart

Chapter 15

Aditya's parents and grandparents were sitting in the drawing room drinking tea while some guests had come over for dinner.

A ring from Aditya's mother's phone disturbed the discussion as she excused herself to take the call. She looked at the screen while walking towards the kitchen.
'Adi'

She frowned looking at him calling because she spoke to him two hours ago. She answered the call but frowned hearing aditya's worried voice from the other side.

"Hell mom" his voice seemed panicky which made her worried thinking something bad happened.

"Aditya beta, what happened? Is everything alright?" Her voice was calm with a hint of worry. She heard him take a breath before answering.

"Mom the chef just called me, Inaya is sick, she has high fever ." His voice was a little panicky.

"What! But I just talked to her in the morning, she seemed fine to me" she said wondering why inaya didn't inform her about being sick.

"I don't know mom. Can you and dadi go to Mumbai and stay with her for sometime. She has been alone for two weeks, I don't know when I will be able to return home."

She frowned listing to him. Her motherly instincts made her protective over inaya and mad at Aditya for leaving she alone.

"I will go, but Aditya Apni biwi ko aise akela chorte hain bhala. She is your responsibility, I told you before marriage to change this lifestyle of yours. You have a wife now, she should be your first priority."

Her tone changed while she spoke. From slightly scolding him to them making him understand her point softly. She knew how passionate he was about work, but according to her work was not life, and working nonstop when you can't spend time with your spouse was useless.

"I kown mom." A sigh left his mouth while she just shook her head as if he was infront of her.

"I and your dadi will leave in the morning tomorrow. Don't worry and take care."

"Yeah bye." She cut the call, keeping the mobile on the kitchen berth she stood there for sometime wondering when to tell dadi. She would definitely go mad at Aditya.

................................

It was past eleven in the morning when the house helper entered the room with a tray full of food while Inaya was still asleep.

Walking up to her she shook her lightly. Inaya slowly opened her eyes feeling somebody shaking her body. She looked up and saw the worker standing there with a light smile on her face.

"Ma'am here's your food. Please have it. You didn't have your dinner yesterday."

She nodded her head while her eyes were half closed with her hair scattered around her face. Sitting up straight she looked around for her scrunchie to tie her hair.

Just as she say up straight she felt her head bursting with pain.

Falling asleep after crying was not a good idea.

"Can you give me medicine for headache?" Her voice came out hoarse as she felt her throat drying out. Taking the glass of water from the table she gulped down the liquid in one go.

"Ah thanks" she ate the medicine and got up to wash up before eating.

"You can go. I'll brush my teeth before eating" she nodded and went away while Inaya walked inside the bathroom to brush her teeth.

All her schedule was cleared for the next week making her absolutely alone in the house. And she didn't want to leave the house without any reason except for the annual function the day after. She brushed her teeth and washed her face before coming back to the room and eating her food.
