The dearest ones

39 Emotional

Ania was awake but she had just woken up. She was back to her grumpy mode and the fever made it worse. Rohan sat on the bed, beside her and kept the food tray on the side table.

"Utt gayi meri bachi..." Rohan said sweetly but Ania didn't even glance at him. Rohan touched her forehead with his palm to check her temperature and it was getting normal which gave him a relief.

"Meri jaan...mujhe pata hai aap bhaiya se upset hai lekin please ab yeh soup peejaoo aur hum baat karenge okay?" He said softly but it didn't look like she would budge so easily.

"Mujhe nahi chahiye soup" she sat there like a stubborn child with her arms crossed.

"Bacha thoda sa soup peelo please uske baad hum baat karenge na" Rohan requested.

"Nahi nahi nahi" Ania replied angrily making Rohan sigh. He has messed up a lot, didn't he? If it was a normal situation he could just make her eat by his own ways which he can't use now but he can't let it go too.

"Ania please....abhi ke liye tumhari zidd chod do, aap khana nahi khaoge toh theek kaise hoga beta?.....just a few spoons and you're done" Rohan tried to convince her but she was not ready to lose her stubborn stance.

"Just a few bites baby..." he said again tiredly. Although she was angry at him, she didn't fail to notice the tiredness on his face. She could feel his tiredness but was confused if she should just listen to him and have food or stay stubborn.

Not wanting to stress him further she slowly opened her mouth, allowing him to feed her and Rohan was in a relief seeing her move as he was helpless at the moment but his younger sister herself helped him.

He smiled at her softly and started feeding her the soup. Ania didn't show the dislike towards the soup but Rohan knows it. Ania didn't have soups but only prefers the one that her bhaiya makes and Rohan takes the initiative to make them too, especially when she's sick because she'll be grumpy at that time.

After a few bites, Ania turned her face to the other side indicating that she does not wanna eat the soup anymore and Rohan thought not to force her much so taking the sign, he kept the bowl on the side table.

"Acha bas, yeh paani peeyo aur uske baad leit jao, okay?" he said, handing over a glass of water and took it, she took the glass from him and returned back after drinking half the glass.

"Mein yeh neeche kitchen mein rak kar aati hoon phir baat karte hai" Rohan said and left the room.

Ania looked towards the door as he left. She was very badly missing being in his embrace and seeking comfort from it but just thinking about last night brought tears in her eyes. All she could think about was the slap she never expected.

Kiara felt bored looking at the blank wall, so the minute her brother left the study, she settled herself on the sofa without thinking about the consequences. She till now didn't understand how serious her brother was but in her view, the stunt she pulled yesterday was normal so her bhaiya was punishing her for no reason.

She was still confused why Rohan punished her just for sneaking out and going for a party. It seemed normal to her because her friends said so and since he was never handled by Rohan before, she really doesn't know to what extent he can go just to make her realise her mistake.

Rohan on the other hand, kept the bowl and tray in the kitchen and walked towards the study after washing the dishes.

He opened the door of the study only to find his sister sitting on the sofa instead of doing the punishment. He was furious. He furiously walked towards her while Kiara turned to the door hearing the footsteps and her eyes widened as she stood up slowly. She thought he would take more time but he came sooner.
