Serena's POV:-

Without any hesitation; Ash leaned in to only touch my forehead with his. Huh! What the? Doesn't he wanted to kiss me.

"Your temperature's still hasn't come to normal; quiet yet, huh!"

"Your temperature's still hasn't come to normal; quiet yet, huh!". Ash said in calm tone removing his forehead from my own.

'Temperature', 'normal' and 'quiet yet'. My poor brain wasn't able to understand anything. It was left completely blank. Making me froze at my position for moments.

"You haven't changed; at all," mom said. That; snapping in out of my blank mind. Mom had a sly smile on her face looking at Ash. He is looking at mom's direction with blank face. But; he isn't responding.

I quickly wiped my sweat, after; snapping out. Mom; then turned to my direction. "Ash is here now; so; I'll leave now," Mom said. I grabbed mom's hand.

"Wait a minute; you said you would scold him for; what he's done? Didn't you!". I forced mom to fill some sense in my foolish husband.

"Hmm! Right; Ash you shouldn't have left her, all alone" mom said. I nodded with my arms crossed. "She was practically crying", "Crying; wait--" I was cut off. "Don't do that" mom said.

Ash looked at me directly, embarassed; I faced away. "Understood," Ash said with casual voice. Then; mom left the room. I soured my face.

When; I turned to face Ash. He just moved and opened the drawer. I wanted to convey; I wasn't crying. But; he just won't care even after hearing I was crying. Well; I wasn't crying or anything. But; he should be caring more about me.

"Hey!" I called out Ash in annoyence. He didn't responded and continued his search. "Won't you care; even if; I cry," I said with slight anger. "I can tell; you weren't crying,". Ash response surprised me.

Well; I wasn't crying. But; I want to know; how, he figured it out. "How can you tell that!" I asked with strong tone. He didn't respond to my question. "So; you won't even share that much with me" I persisted.

Ash didn't responded to this one either. "So; you won't even consider consoling or caring for me without proof ,". I wanted an answer for this at any cost.

"I do care about you," Ash said without any expressions. "How can I believe you; that you really care about me,". I asked him, I wasn't feeling better anymore. I really want to know; does he really loves me.

"I can't say anything about it; but; I really care for you, and

"I can't say anything about it; but; I really care for you, and... That's the only way; I know, how to love you" Ash said. My heart beat raised so rapidly. "I-I--" I wasn't able to say anything.

He picked up a thermameter from the drawer and closed it. Ash took my hand and leaded me to the bed. "You should take some more rest," Ash said. "But; why?... I feel completely fine," I said resisting.

"You still got fever," Ash said. "But; I am not feeling like; I am sick, though," I replied. "Your temperature still hasn't come to normal," Ash said.

As, I thought about it. The moment, when; Ash checked my temperature. Ash was so close and, I pictured it incorrectly. I didn't think; he is checking my temperature.

I smiled in a little embarassment about that moment. "I am completely fine!" I said embarassed. "Let me check it, then," Ash said. So; he going to touch my forehead with his again. Okay! I am prepared this time.

But; my hopes were crushed as soon as; he handed me the thermometer. He instructed me to put it into my ear. This method is worser than; Ash touching my forehead with his.

But; well, I am okay! with this; too. After; a 30-40 seconds; I took it out of my ear. It was showing a healthy temperature of 36.7. "See! I told you; I don't have any fever," I bragged.

"But; when I checked; it still an unusual temperature," Ash said. At the statement; I blushed. It's because; Ash was so close and mom was there; too. Anyone would get flustered; if that happens so suddenly.

Now then; how exactly am I supposed to convey this to Ash

Now then; how exactly am I supposed to convey this to Ash. Probably; doing same will make him realise. But; the thought of doing same is making me heat up again. So; it's a bad idea.

"Are you sure; you're feeling alright!" Ash asked me. "Huff; I said; i'm fine, right," I said with signing. "Okay!" He replied instantly with his casual voice.

After that; Ash didn't asked me about my fever again. But; the another problem presented itself. My dutiful prepared to leave for work. I mean; I don't hold any significance, over his work for him; huh!

"Are you going to leave me alone; now," I asked him blocking his way. "there are others keep you company; right!" Ash asked me. "But; that..." I wasn't able say it.

No matter; how many people are around you. they can never fill the gap of the person we love. But; I wasn't able to say it. Why wasn't I? I don't have an answer right now.

"So; will come back early," I just wanted Ash in my sight. "Probably not," Ash replied. "O-okay...," I expressed my disappointment.

"If you get bored; you can always play tag with mom," Ash said. "Huh! How did you know?" I asked him curiously. "She did expressed her disappointment," Ash replied.

"But; that was on your part; wasn't it!" I asked him. "She is my mother; after all!" He said. Well; I think; that to be expected. He is her son; after all!.

Ash soon left; leaving me back, again!. I alone in the room, sat on the bed thinking about Ash. Is he going to remain the same person. Even after; finding out everything. Well; the answer is 'Definately Not'.

If that happens; will Ash accept my love; Then. That's a difficult question to answer. I don't want Ash to hate me. "I love you; so much,"

 "I love you; so much,"
