The next morning, I woke up, from the sunlight coming from window. I blink my eyes few times, finally I am fully awake. I felt heaviness on my left hand, I look at my left. I saw her sleeping peacefully. Her head resting on my left shoulder. She was sleeping like a baby. I couldn't take my eyes off her peaceful sleeping face. She looks so calm and peaceful. I just kept looking at her. The sunlight coming from window, made her face glow. I slowly, caress her face. Her skin is soft, her cheeks are so chubby and soft. She looks delicate and cute. Why does she look so cute? Why do I feel attracted towards her even though I know nothing about her. She feels familiar but she is not familiar.

Jane stirs a little, still sleep. I gently puts her head on the pillow, not wanting to wake her up. I get up from the bed and went to gym to work out. After working out for, 1 hour, I came back to my room. She was still sleeping. Should I wake her up? or let her sleep? First thing, first, let take shower. I took shower and got ready for the work. As I came out of the wardrobe, Jane woke up, her eyes were half opened. She got up from the bed and walked towards me. She came and stood right in front of me. "What?" I asked.

She looks at me for few minutes with half opened eyes. When she was finally awake, and regained her whole conscious, "Untie me." She says, looking straight in my eyes.

"Uh?" I said confused.

"Untie it." She says and shows me her hand, which I tied last night, to stop her from scratching herself.

"Right." I say and untie the tie I used. "Are you okay, now?"

"It's fine. Normal allergic reaction." She says and move away to go bathroom.

"Let me look?" I say, stopping her.

"What? It's really okay. There's nothing to look." She says in defense.

"I am not gonna listen to you. Show me your hand." I say.

She was pissed, I can clearly tell from her face. "Come on." I say. "Will you come or should I come?"

She came towards me, as she don't have any option and shows me her hand, "See for yourself. I am totally fine."

I check her hand, it look fine, but there was marks of scratch. I moved her hair and look at her neck, there were scratch marks, but it looked okay. "Apply ointment after washing." I say her, still looking at the scratches.

"Hmmm." She says and go to wash. I came downstairs with my office bag. Mom and dad were already having breakfast. I join them. "How is Jane?" Mom asks.

"She's fine. Her reaction are gone, almost." I say.

"I didn't knew she was allergic to mangoes." Mom says. "I have already informed the maids about her allergy and to make sure that the food prepared for Jane shouldn't contain mango."

"That's nice." I say. "I was thinking, may be Jane can take a day off from the work and rest."

"That's a great idea." Mom says, while dad nods his head in agreement.

Jane comes downstairs and sit beside me.

"Jane, dear, how are feeling, now? Do you still have allergic reaction?" Mom asks with concern.

"Mom, I am really fine. And, my reaction are gone. See for yourself." She say and show her hands to mom.

"That's better, if your reaction are gone. You scared us last night." Mom says, drastically.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to. I don't knew that the dessert was made of mango." Jane says.

"No... You should have told me that you are allergic to mango. I would have informed them."
