ENTANGLED AND HEARTS (Her Price For Dreams)

Chapter 38: Love in bloom( Did I ever say I hate him,I dont remember😊)

Maryam's POV

My eyelids droop shut beyond my control,Mybody aches and need rest.I wake up and splash the cold water over my face.I come back and sit on my study table again.I restarts what I was doing and I feel blankness in front of my eyes.I take deep breath and close my eyes tightly.

My head spins,but I am convincing myself," You cant sleep,Maryam.You have to clear this exam.You only have this solution for your every problem."

I start writing again and this time I feel cold,I turn off the AC immedietly.Its crazy how I am feeling freezing cold in the month of august.

After forcing my body to study I gave up because my body have already gave up.I walk towards my bed my steps are heavy.The distance from my study table to my bed feels like miles.I finally get to my bed and put blanket over me tightly but its of no use.I am still feeling cold I touch my forehead and its burning hot.

I forcebly open my eyes and see Anaya.I try to say something but I am unable to utter a single word.I can see Doctor treating me,injecting me and even feel Anaya's presence.She is giving me cold sponge on my head.I want to tell her to stop because the coldness is chilling my bones.She is asking me if I am alright,if I need something.I can see her concerened and worried.

I try again to say something but before I could say anything.My eyelid closes and I went to a restless sleep again.I struggle with a lot of problems,Firstly I am feeling extremely cold,secondly my head is hurting really bad and thirdly I am shivering .I am annoyed of this pain,its a bitter kind of pain.I feel everything but still cant move a finger.

I feel his warmth around me.He is hugging me close to his chest and I feel his warmth enveloping me and my chill bones feel little ease.His strong hand is cressing my spine,rubbing my back giving me warmth. I am clinging to him,my hand is on his back pressing him into me.I can smell his familiar scent,smell of leather and spices.Its his smell but he is far away how am I feeling him near me.I forcefully open my eyes and lift my head to see.

Samar looks at me,his gaze soft,his eyes concerened.I lift further as I can not believe he is near me.My hands are on his chest and I am looking at him in shock and misbelief.

He puts his hand on my upper back and press me against his chest again,"Dont wake up,Love.You are sleep deprived." he says and strokes my hair.

I can feel he is sweating obviously he is feeling hot.Its scorching summer in delhi and he is in blanket with no AC with me,to give me his warmth.To save me from this bone chilling cold.

In no time I sleep again.

I wake up with a jolt and realise Samar is not near me.I look around in the room,there is no signs that Samar was here with me last night.I get out of my bed and search in the bathroom.No, there is not a single hint of him.Was I dreaming? I ask myself.

I replay that scene in my head and it seems so realistic.How can a dream be so vivid.I think its medicines effect.

I look myself in the mirror,I pull out my toothbrush and starts brusing my teeth.I feel better now,I am not feeling cold anymore.My head is not spinning.I take a hot shower and change into my comfy clothes.I feel better,Pretty better but hungry.

I rush to the kitchen to eat something but my eyes cought a bouquet on the big table in the living area.Its Roses,my favourite.I go near it and search for the usual note in it.Samar sends it with his hand written notes.But I dont find the note today and I wonder why.

" Its day 17 and I am back here cuz my stubborn wife wont take care of her."

I turn to his voice,startled.Samar is in front of my eyes,it was not my dream,he  is here.He walks towards me and I say nothing still shocked.
