Erica took off his shoes and with great difficulty she laid him in the right position putting a pillow under his neck ...she realised his clothes were wet.... she was thinking about how to get it changed when the doctor entered with Martha.
He checked his temperature and his chest with a stethoscope and gave him a few injections....he took out the broken glass piece from his hand and did the dressing . " He has a very high fever...and his ragged breathing suggests maybe he has got chest infection possibly pneumonia or hypothermia but to conclude anything we have to run a few tests..he will gain his consciousness when the fever will subdue !!! He said giving the prescription " don't leave him alone and take great care of him ....he is not a person who will get unconscious so easily and also change his clothes... it's all wet!!!" He said and took his leave!!!
"Martha!!!!! call some male servant and bring me his medicines and a bowl of cold water and a cotton cloth!" Erica said.
Martha nodded and went.
"You called me mam!!!" Arvind the male servant said keeping his eyes low.
"Yes!!! Aaaa.... I called you to change his clothes." She said hesitation
Arvind looked up in her eyes in surprise.
"Actually he is quite heavy so I can't move him...so the clothes are here you get him changed I am going to get his medicine!!"Erica said and hurriedly went from there.
Erica was placing cold wipes on his head by sitting beside him on the bed...Kabir was still unconscious..... slowly she also slept because she was all awake last night.
After a few hours Kabir slowly opened his eyes ...his head was busting in pain...he looked beside and saw Erica sleeping , her hand was on the wipe over his head ...he turned his head and Erica's hand dropped....she got up instantly and their eyes met.
"What are you doing here" Kabir asked in cold tone
"You got unconscious" she said looking away
" That's not what I asked....go from here I don't want to see you okay....I can manage myself" he said while trying to get up but he couldn't.
"Look neither I want to see you or want to be anywhere around you... you are very ill , the doctor said to not leave you alone..You helped my father when he was in serious condition....I am just returning your favour...I haven't forgotten your words...once you get fine I myself will not live a second with you." She got up from the bed and went.
--------------------------------------------------------
At the evening Erica was sitting in the dinning hall with tears in her eyes ..Kabir's word was echoing in her mind from the previous night!!!
"Mam ....here are the medicines and soup for sir" Martha said placing the tray before her , breaking her trance!!!
"Hmm ....go give it to him." She said trying not to show the tears in her eyes!!
"Actually mam I have to go for some grocery shopping and also mam!!!! I am very afraid of him....apart from cleaning his room that too when he is not present...none of us go in his room !!!" She said with hesitation
"Is there anyone who is not afraid of this monster!" She said in low voice
"You said something mam???" Martha asked
"No...I take this , you go!!!" Erica said and went with the tray!!!
"Kabir was tapping his forehead with a fist when Erica came and placed the tray near him. Kabir thought for a moment and took the medicine and gulped !!!! Now the soup was left ...Kabir's right hand was injured so Erica was thinking how will he eat with a spoon from left hand.....she was still in thoughts when he took the whole bowl and gulped in one go!!!!
"Gross!!!!" He exclaimed making a disgusted face.
Erica blinked her eyes in surprise " So ill yet so stubborn" she said to herself and went shaking her head.
---------------------------------------------------------
The next morning doctor came with the reports...he checked him again
"How are you feeling Kabir?"
"Better!!!! It's just the headache " he said touching his forehead
"And also the fever"Erica said in between with a concerning voice .
"But he is not having a fever now." Doctor said
"Doctor his fever is reoccurring.....he had a fever last night and now because of the medicine effect it's fine !" She said , Kabir just looked at her briefly and turned his face .
"Actually 60% of his chest got infected... But don't worry as it gets better the fever will vanish!! And for your headache you are already on painkiller and I can't give you more of it .. it will fade gradually...you can try oil massage as well ..it will be soothing!" Doctor told.
After he went Kabir got up with great difficulty ..his legs were faltering Erica wanted to help but she didn't say anything...he went to the washroom and changed in a t-shirt and lower after this he laid again on the bed!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------
Two days passed just like that ...Erica took care of him as much as she could....but they didn't say a word...he was getting better but Kabir's fever used to come and go and his headache was constant he used to tap his forehead with his fist all the time...
The next day doctor came again..."you are doing better Kabir, the infection is coming under control ...a few more days and you will be alright." He said with an assuring smile.
"And what about this headache...I'm sick of it ..your medicine is not showing any effect on it doctor??" He said in an irritated tone.
"You are on loads of antibiotics and other medications Kabir ....a much stronger dose of painkiller can have adverse effects still I gave you what i can!!!!
That's why I suggested a head massage....didn't it provide any relief??" He asked
"I didn't try it" Kabir said in an ignorant tone not meeting his eyes.
"Why haven't you done it till now.....there is already so much medicine I am giving him...I cannot give him more ...he has to do some home remedies as well...also I don't think he is having a headache it's just that his head is feeling heavy because of constant rain it went through ...so I'm sure it will help him" the doctor said to Erica
Erica slowly nodded to him.
