I open my eyes slowly feeling something heavy resting on my stomach. I see Vihaan is sleeping beside me in an uncomfortable position. His one hand is resting on my stomach and other is under his head. Why is he sleeping like this? I notice that I'm in his room and my clothes has also been changed. I remember Vihaan coming last night in the graveyard and me having a breakdown. I also remember him saying that he doesn't hate me. He must have felt sorry for me at that time. After getting into his car I can't recall anything further. I try to sit but my body is aching and my head hurts.

Vihaan must have felt me moving because he wakes up with a sudden jerk.

"Sharvari. You are awake? Do you need anything? How are you feeling?" he says while checking my body for temperature.

"I'm fine. I just need water. My throat is dry like desert." I say weakly. God why I'm feeling so weak today. Vihaan gets up from bed and gives me a glass of water. I gulp it down in one go.

"Your fever has come down but your body is still hot. Are you feeling any other complications?" he asks with worry in his voice.

"I feel weakness and my whole body is aching. What happens to me?" I ask him.

"You were soaked when I came to get you. When we reached the home you fainted in the car and we called the doctor. You caught pneumonia and you have to take proper diet and rest." He informs me just when there is knocking on the door. Vihaan opens the door and Aunty no Maa comes in.

"Sharu beta. How are you feeling. I was so scared for you last night." She says hugging me gently.

"I'm fine maa. Just need little rest and I'll be fit in a day."

"No way. You are not going to leave this bed until next week. I'll restrain you if needed." Vihaan says in his no-nonsense tonne.

"But I can't rest for whole week. I have some important that needs to be done. You can't be serious Vihaan." I whines.

"Try me Sharvari. I'm not taking any risk with your health. You will eat healthy and on time. And you will rest properly. Or if your work is so much important then you can do it from here." He says sternly.

"Maa talk some sense into him." I pouts to maa.

"She is right beta. You have to take care of yourself as much as possible. We all were so worried for you. Vihaan didn't even sleep much because he was checking your temperature at every hour." Maa says.

I'm so shocked hearing this. He didn't sleep because he was taking care of me. That's why he was sleeping in such a weird angle. I look at him with gratitude in my eyes.

"Thank you Vihaan. And you too maa. I never felt this much cared for before." I say with tears in my eyes.

"Now you have us beta. So never cry again. Oh I forgot that I bring soup for you. Drink it before it gets cold." Maa gives me the boul. I pick up the spoon but I drop the soup on my shirt. I feel frustrated as I can't even drink soup because of my weakness.
