The Unwanted Love

His Caring Side

''Divu dear, are you alright? You don't need to go for school today, you have extremely high fever!'' said Mami with a concerned and worried tone.

''Mami, I feel a little weak, I think I will need medicines'' I replied to her with a low and weak tone.

I wasn't well today, I didn't go for school, I texted Marian to send me the homework while laying down...I felt tired and exhausted, my hands shaking, body shivering due to cold, my head aching, nothing seemed alright, I didn't even feel like touching my favorite object, the phone or talking to my favorite person, my mom. I don't what happened suddenly, I never felt this weak! Suddenly I heard my mom getting inside the room, she said ''Divu dear, your grandma met an accident, and as you know, there's no one for your grandma, I need to go as soon as possible, stay here, for some hours?'' I agreed with her and bid her a goodbye, previously, I was worried about myself, but now it is doubled as my grandma met an accident and I can't even visit her! When mami said about grandma, I felt like bursting out in tears, but I didn't react much, because now I'm a 15-year-old teen, and I can't make mami more worried, she's already so much tensed about everything, she has to handle everything alone.

MAMI'S POV

I was hurrying to get a taxi to reach the hospital, when I saw a young boy with a black mask approaching me saying ''Aunty, why so tensed?'' He was Trikshan, my old school friend's son, I told him everything while waiting for the taxi, he said ''don't worry aunty, don't be so tensed about Diva living alone at home while being sick, I don't have any work now, I guess I can go and take care of things there'' I hesitated a bit, but after some minutes of him convincing me, I agreed with him as I trust my school friend, rather say my old school's best friend a lot, his son maybe just like him, with that thought I let him go and take care of Diva, I mean help Diva if she needs anything to be done. I saw him waving me a goodbye and going towards our house.

END OF MAMI'S POV

I heard someone knocking at the door even if the door was open as usual, I said ''it's open, come in'' I saw Trikshan entering, I was quite shocked and asked him while trying to get up ''Why you here?'' he answered with a concerned look ''Don't get up, stay there, your mom sent me'' I was a bit more shocked as mami never sent a random boy, I mean any boy to my room when she's not present, I guess she had started trusting Trikshan a lot...god knows, why!! I thought.

I didn't listen to him, instead I tried to get up again, he said in a deep voice making me shiver ''It's not a request Diva, it's an order, stay there, I'll make sure everything is taken care of'' I hesitated but every time he spoke, he made me shiver even more, I decided to let him do whatever he wants, I was just looking at him, when he quietly exited the room after some minutes of making me understand.

I felt sleepy, but I still didn't sleep, because I believe and trust no one, I heard a knock again, ''uf, why does he need to knock thousand times when he knows the door is open!'' I thought and shouted ''Yeah yeah come in, please, and next time don't knock!'' I was furious about his actions, but that anger slowly washed away when I saw him holding a bowl of noodles. I was pleased by his actions and asked him in a baby voice ''Is it for me? Looks spicy'' He said ''No, no, it's all for me!'' I got angry again and was about to snatch the bowl from him, but I didn't because he is still new to me, if he was Marian, I would have already snatched it and eaten half of the noodles from the bowl by now. He said again, laughing ''Oh, you look like a cute baby, pouting like that! No no it's not for me, it's for you, I was just kidding!'' I got embarrassed and hesitated to take the bowl when he said that. He said again ''don't be embarrassed, I made these noodles for you with so much care....take it'' His caring voice made me take the bowl automatically without any more hesitation, he smiled, I asked him ''do you want some?'' Though I didn't want to share, I felt like I'm being too much like a child in front of him, so I asked him again and again, and at last, he took a spoon of noodles, and now I can start eating with asking anyone if they want some or not! I started eating, he kept smiling and it felt like he was admiring me, looking at me for a long time, but I didn't look back or made an eye contact. I thought he's so caring and understanding, yet so weird and funny.

Around 6'o clock, mom was back, I waved him a goodbye and said ''It felt nice spending time with you!'' He replied back while walking away ''Same, bye, we'll meet at school tomorrow if you get well, get well soon!'' He smiled while leaving, and I smiled back.
