Abandoned Wife

13. Cold and Pool

"I never felt this crazy until my soul found my mate in you"
~★ ~

It was 8:00 in the morning and Divya was nowhere to see, she always gets up early at 7 am and does her exercise and meditation for an hour. But today she didn't show up though Farha waited for her for a long time. After getting her fitness routine done, Farha went upstairs to check on her herself.

Keeping the sipper bottle out at the corridor she barged inside the room only to he tensed. Divya was sneezing continuously and shaking above the bed. She rushed to her side asking what happened but before she could get herself in stable condition to answer Farha touched her forehead and gasped.

"You are having Fever... Divya. What the hell happened? You were fine till last night", she bombarded.

Divya tried to answer her questions in the most simple way she could but failed as whenever she tried to talk she started sneezing and coughing. Seeing her condition, Farha asked her to lay down and not talk while she went to call Krish's mother, Anjali.

Downstairs the old but young couple were having breakfast together and hearing Farha scream for them they turned their heads up. Unable to see her they left their respective seats and breakfast, and headed to the voice coming. They found a restless Farha coming downstairs in a hurry, searching for them and they both looked at each other quizzically.

"What happened dear? What makes you so anxious?", they question together.

Grabbing her breathing she informs them that Divya is ill and having a high fever. They share a look and then question her how and when did this happen but unable to answer anything for that she ushered them upstairs. Anjali on her way asked one of her servants to get that ice water and cloth, while the other one asked to get medicine quickly.

Generally, they do have a first aid box in every room but due to Divya's room being under work till the past two days. Her room doesn't have everything in it stored and lacks necessities.

The maid was quick to get them a first aid box as they reached to see her. Divya's cheeks and nose were fully red and she seemed weak and light headed. She couldn't open her eyes fully as the cold and fever have made her head and eyes heavy. She tried to sit hearing her guardians calling for her but she couldn't manage and peeked through her eyelashes. Anjali checked her temperature and was worried seeing it high and quickly gave her medicine to have and directed Farha to do that cold water dap.

After a few minutes, her fever got mild and everyone asked her to rest and they started leaving the room. Anjali thought to prepare a quick warm breakfast for her and also some Decoction (kadha) to get her better relief. On their way they were thanking God and also wandering how did she got ill when they heard someone sneezing.

Their eyes followed to the sound and they found Krish sneezing and rubbing his nose while coming out of his room. He looked I'll too and they all gave an understanding look to each other.

"Now, we know where she got infected and because of whom?", Farha muttered.

The sharp following gaze staring at him made his sixth sense aware and he stopped on his tracks. He looked forward only to find everyone's eyes glued to him throwing daggers. With slow and hesitant steps he came closer and stood right in front of them with an innocent face.

"W-What happened? Why are you all looking at me like this?", he inquired.

Passing a look at each other with their control on laughter they glared back at him and Farha started.

"First, you tell me what you both were doing, huh? Why are you both sneezing and even sleeping till late?", she asks with a scrutinising look.

Krish feels his throat getting dry, he looks like a scared cat seeing everyone glaring at him. It was like he was made standing in the courtroom for interrogation and there was no way to escape from her.
