Teasing Or Testing

‘It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone, when your heart still does’

**At Abhi’s Home**

“Is this my hallucination or is my dream becoming true?” he asked by seeing the person.
The person smiled and waved hands infront of him, to bring him back to sense. He jerked a little and opened the door, so that the person can enter. The person got in and looked at him confusingly.

The person touched his forehead by a feather like soft palm to check his temperature. The touch made him to realize it was not his hallucination and he was not dreaming. It is indeed true and real.

“Pragya, you here?” he asked by realizing she came to his home for real.
“Yes, I think you have high temperature, do you had any medicine?” she asked back him with concern.

“No! I was just sleeping when you pressed the calling bell, I didn’t have anything” he replied
“I knew you will do like this only, so only when Purab informed me that you're not well, I took off leave and went home, to prepare something for you and came here” she said and entered inside the living room.

‘This was the first time you're coming to my home Pragya, that too for me you came. I feel liking jumping in joy. Ow! This tiredness sucks!’  Thought Abhi and followed her.

She had brought a bag with food for him, but the package looked large. The old teasing Abhi peeped out even in this fever too ‘Habit hardly dies’

“You brought food for me alone or for you too?” he asked her teasingly.
She looked at the bag and smiled.
“No, not for me, it is for Purab and Bulbul too. They will be joining us by noon. I have signed them for half day leave. They too not well due to the practice yesterday” she answered him, by taking the bag inside the kitchen.

Abhi seated in the sofa at the living room, and watched her. She was arranging the kitchen and serving the food in the plate for him.

“Where is the medicine box for fever?” she asked him while coming out from the kitchen.
“In my room” he said casually.
She nodded and placed the food plate on the table.
“First go and fresh up, then have food. I will bring the tablet now” she said him, and moved to his room.

Sudden realization strikes Abhi’s mind and he rushed towards his room. He stopped her by standing infront of her with a jerk.

“What happened, why you are stopping me like this?” she asked with confusion.
“Basically it is a bachelor room, so I don’t want you to check it out. Secondly I don’t want you to-” he stopped as he couldn’t complete the sentence. ‘The room consists of our personal photos. The photos which I had took together with you without your knowledge and I have framed it. You will get hurt, if you see it. So please’

Seeing him nervous she understood, that he was avoiding her to not see his room, she smiled which made him confuse.
“Ok, I won’t come in, then better give me the medicine box and go to fresh up” she said.

He brought the medicine box and gave her and moved in to bathroom.

/**After Sometime**\

He had his breakfast, and had medicine as she advised. He rested in bed for two hours around and got up to see Pragya still in his home.

He moved to living room. An awkward silence prevails. She was sitting opposite to him in the chair, and he was sitting on the sofa.

“Why you came here?” he asked by breaking the silence.
Pragya’s head shot up by hearing his question. ‘How could I will be in peace, knowing that you're unwell?’
“You are in this condition because of me, so who else you expect to come and take care?” she replied back him, by narrowing her gaze.
“Because of you? Who said that and what you are talking about?” he asked as he couldn’t guess, what she was mentioning about.
