"It is co-cold" her teeth were chattering when she comes into the room from taking a shower

She had her arms wrapped around herself, her wet hair falling on her shoulders and back dripping on the floor

"Why don't you have a towel wrapped around your hair?" I ask grabbing one

"I ain't trying to look like a weird egg"

"Excuse me? You already look like a hard boiled egg"

"Shut up, I am sick and cold.  I hate you" she yells or tries to yell but it comes out as a whisper

"Did I tell you to sleep on the freaking concrete?" I ask

"No but you also didn't leave me an option? You were so angry at her, she was scared"she whispers

'Get in bed" I say moving the blankets for her

"Get in bed" she mimics my voice before she gets under the covers snuggling in the blankets

"Here" I say forwarding some warm food

She pouts at me, I don't know if it was intentional or not but she does it very often especially when she wants something from me, not like in a weird way but there are times I won't let her go get iced coffees because she always brings me one and I don't drink them

"I no want this, yuck" she whispers playing with the blankets

"Nandini I am not babysitting you, eat it" I say

She shakes her head closing her eyes

"Nandini"

"Manik hiiii, you know the rain yesterday was so pretty" she says

"It was shit, now eat up"

"Have you no manners old man?" She asks glaring at me but instead of a glare she was just scrunching her nose and narrowing her eyes

"Don't get on my nerves and finish this soup. Dr Meheta needs to see you after"

"Hahaha I must be deaf because there is no way in hell i heard you saying the doctor, I am not going to a doctor. Do you know how scary they are? This one time I went to get an injection right just for flu but then I came home with two bruised arms becasue he got them to take my blood for test. Hellooo I did not ask for that" she rambled

Her cheeks puff up, her nose scrunched as she describes this 'horrific' situation

"Yeah and what else did he say?" I ask inching closer as I grab the soup bowl

"Oh just that my iron is low which is always low, why do you think I sleep so much? He should know that as a doctor but no he sent me over, no thanks" she is a chatterbox

"Right" I say forwarding the spoon to her

"Ahh bad manik, you are tricking me" she says pulling back

"Nandini just have it, or you are getting 5 injections from Dr meheta"

"No I don't want it" she says shaking her head

"Fine suit yourself" I say putting the food back

"Good good good" she sings bobbing her head

"You know manik it wasn't too bad"

'What wasn't?" I ask texting cabir secretly

She needs to eat and maybe cabir can help her because of how good friends they actually are

'I need you to call nandini and get her to eat' I text him

"Sleeping downstairs, it was nice and cold plus the rain was so nice" she says

"Yeah? You liked getting sick?"

She looks at me as if I had asked her about a murder

"Who likes getting sick?" she asks

"Me" I reply without even thinking

"Of course you do, that's just because you are the ruler of hell" she says sticking her tongue out at me

She is never like this but maybe getting sick is messing with her brain or something

"I do rule hell and maybe you will be the new admission"

"No sir, I am an angel"

"says who? Ghosts?"

"Shut up, nice people say I am very nice and sweet"

"Those nice people also don't care about the shit they say, it's meaningless"

"I want to go home, you are very mean to me" she says pouting

Her arms against her chest as she glares at me

"Oh cabuuu" she giggles when her phone rings

thank god he is calling her, maybe he can knock some sense into her. It's not like I actually care care but if she doesn't eat, she won't be able to heal and that means that the office will lack so in short I need her better

"Hi kiddo"

"Cabu you come take me from here, this man is very mean" she says shooting me another glare

She really thinks I will get affected by her glares, it's almost laughable at this point

"I am coming this evening kid, but he said you weren't eating"

"You complained about me? Who do you think you are?" She asks

"Sh nandini, he is right"

"urghh of course you think so"

"You need to eat to get better, do you want the doctor to come nad inject you and give you lots of medicine?" He asks

She gags even hearing medicine

"No, disgusting"

"Then come on eat the food"

"But it's bad cabir, it's tasteless soup"

"okay then tell him what you want and he will order it for you"

"I want yummy momos and chicken wonton soup" she says licking her lips

"It is 8 in the morning, the fuck do I order that from?"

"I thought you were very rich and powerful" she taunts

"I am"

'then figure it out"

"Hahah you tell him girl"

"hehe cabir I miss you"

"I will be there soon kid, till then eat properly okay and I will bring you chocolate"

"Yummy okay, you travel safe. Bye bye"

"bye kiddo"

I grabbed my phone ordering some food for her and yeah I found her stupid momos and soup.

"Manik" she calls

"What?" I ask walking to her

She pats the bed beside her and I hesitate a little. I probably looked scared but it's just past trauma

"What?" I ask again

"Sit"

I sit on the edge and she moves closer making me frown, not knowing what she was up to

"I am sorry" she whispers

"What for? Actually you should say it for everything"

"See this is why I am no nice to you, shut up"

"Watch that tone"

"I am sorry okay, I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable with me staying here, I know you aren't good with physical contact or being even this close so I left and I found the garden private and safe"

How the hell does she even know that I am bad at physical touch?

"I am sorry that you have to take care of me"

"it's fine" I say

"I know that"

'I said it's fine"

Before she could argue, the door bell rings.
