Flipped apart

27. Unspoken Emotions

As most of them agreed for including Saniya and Sameer's as well , here it is the glimpse of them as well.

-------------------------

Saniya's POV:

My head was feeling cold and heavy. I tried to touch my head, but it felt like something was put on it. Confused, I opened my eyes to see that Mamma's hand was on my head and she was sitting beside me, Di and Chachi were sitting on the couch while Bhai and Abbu were standing near the edge of the bed and talking to someone, glancing at the guest's appearance I got to know he is a doctor as the stethoscope was in his hand.

Why did the doctor visit us? Did anything happen to anyone? I got up nervously. 

"Alhamdulillah, you are up." Mamma noticed and began to blow over me; perhaps she was reading a few verses from the Quran earlier, but why?

 "What happened?" I curiously asked looking at Bhai

"You were shivering in sleep and your temperature was also high, so we called the doctor to check on you," Bhai said, making me realise that I was covered with many blankets and my body was feeling heavy and slight sweat drops were forming over the body.

" I have given an injection already; your fever will reduce by evening if it doesn't take these medicines as prescribed," the doctor forwarded the prescription towards Bhai, then Abbu went with the doctor to see off.

"You were burning when I touched you, and when I tried to call you several times, you didn't budge at all, which worried us so much." Di's panicky voice made me worried; she is the one who is strong out of all three, seeing her panic means I was really down.

Checking my temperature, Bhai left the room, and I too slowly got out of bed to go to the bathroom, and Chachi went to get me something to eat while Mamma went to get clothes from my suitcase. Yes, I did not unpack my clothes; after all, we are leaving tomorrow, so why bother?

"Afsha, go relax in my room, Beta. I will be here with Saanu."The last thing I heard Mamma say to Di as I went to the bathroom.

Following my morning ritual, I washed my face with cold water, not having energy to bath. Who bathes when you have a fever? Not me though.

Changing into the clothes Mumma had taken out, which was a comfortable cotton dress. I came out of the bathroom to see Chachi had already brought soup to drink.

After drinking, correction forcefully gulping the soup, I slept again as my eyes were still heavy and were unable to open more.

------------

I felt a little ease when I woke up from my extended sleep, and my body aches had also subsided, but currently I was bathing in my sweat.

First, I got up from the bed and removed the four layers of heavy blankets and took a quick hot bath. Thankfully, because of the injection, my fever got reduced but still my body was sore, which made me realise that it was continuous shoot and boutique work, not to forget the previous night's event, which led my body's function to worsen up.

I changed into a white pant and oversized red rayon shirt before leaving the room to get some fresh air. Staying more than half a day in a room felt suffocating to me.
