Love Is Medicine

CHAPTER 52

HANIA

"Hania?" I felt someone shaking me slightly, "Hanu are you ok?"They are trying to wake me. This time I opened my eyes slowly and my headache started.

And saw Anvita's worried face "Hmm?" My throat is sore from crying my soul out yesterday.

What's happening here?

What's wrong with me?

And suddenly i felt the cold breeze brush against my skin sending chills down my spine "Are you okay?" She touched my forehead.

And walked towards my side table to pull out the thermometer.

Anvi handed it to me, I just shook my head and tried to get up but, my body didn't favour me.

What happened in overnight?

Why I can't even stand?

My head hurts terribly.

"Do as i say Hanu" She painted a serious look and placed her hands on her hips just like my mom.

I kept it in my mouth and all the events from yesterday are reeling in my mind.

And i didn't even call my parents yesterday, they might be worried, and if I call them now they'll be even more worried.

I took it out to check, and it's 103 degrees, Anvita checked that too,"Ohh my god! Hanu you have a high fever.." she grabbed the box where i usually keep all the medicines and took out a paracetamol, And handed it to me.

I refused to take it, saying that I'll have it after breakfast.

I checked the clock it shows 6:09 and i missed my prayers. I tried to get up and head felt heavy and dizzy.

Anyhow i stood up, because I'm not the one who'll spend their whole day on bed when they are sick.

I looked myself in the mirror,and I'm shocked at my reflection.

This isn't me!

I look like I'm died from inside..

Dead puffy eyes, dark circles accompayning them,pale lifeless skin and my hair...it looked like i had mental breakdown.

Which you did have..

In whole i looked like a person who is freshly released from an Asylum.

I splashed some water on my face,and took a quick bath.

I saw a cup in here hand "Here drink it..." She handed it.

It's green tea, and she started doing my hair, she do that daily, cause I don't know how to do my hair.

"Shall I make a normal braid?" She asked, i just nodded.

My neck hurts..

"Please make it a bit loose"

"Okay.." she completed it in seconds.

Tomorrow I've an practical exam, with this condition i hope i don't faint in the lab itself.

I hope it gets better by tomorrow, both of us reached the hostel mess for our breakfast.

And today's menu was idly, Thank God! i can't imagine eating something oily and our hostel cook uses a week sufficient oil for one dish.

I barely finished one, "Hania complete that or otherwise I'm taking you to the hospital!!" She threatened me.

"Stop joking Anvi" I can't even laugh now" It tastes so bland I can't eat it-"
