|| SHUBHANKAR'S  POV  ||

Wasting no time, i quickly got to work, my hands moving swiftly and purposefully as i tended to make her feel warmer, I heated up sheets by vintage iron. Rustling of clothes caught my attention, I swiped my head and saw her fatigue figure shivering.

Her eyelashes, dropped downwardly  and she clasped her hand. My head gave a short shake and I suggested in tenderly voice  "Lay down on bed, I have already warmed rajai ( Quilt) and sheets" I excluded "for you" as might she overthinks that she is burdening me.

She raised her head and glance at me for a brief moment, something flickered in those eyes. Maybe gratitude ? she with little trembling in her steps get under the quilt.

I was on the way to head out but then my steps halted in mid way when she called me obviously not by my name.

I clicked my tongue at that thought as I want her to addresses me by my name.
Dismissing that thought, I turn around and quirked my single eyebrow.

She was leaning on headboard, hesitation clearly was reflecting on her face. "I can't take bed." She stated.

My brows pulled together in confusion and I crossed my arms around my chest "care to elaborate reason behind that statement." My eyes settled on her, shifted slightly when I noticed her cheeks flushed. "Then where will you sleep ?".

Her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw disbelief washed over on my face, I heaved a sigh and commented "Are you kidding me woman ?"

Her tongue swiftly swiped over her tongue and she fidgeted with her fingers "Why ?"

I gave a short shake again in disbelief "You really expecting me to follow yours words when you are shivering and needed the warmth."

Her mouth parted but no words slipped out, she sighed softly and I called her

"Accha bataiye ?"

"Ji puchiye."

"Which ingredients do you prefer while preparing kadha ( a traditional indian herbal drink) ?" My question wasn't something she was expecting however she listed name of some herbs and some spiced tea. I mentally made note in my mind and nodded.

"Any one ingredient in kadha, which are you allergic to by any chance ?" she mumbled a small "no".

I hummed and flied out.  I glanced at pendulum clock, indicator read one o'clock of the night. Minutes whiled away and I pushed door slightly open and silently stepped inside.
