My Silly Chiraiyya

Chapter 8~ Fever Treatment

*************

He looked at his watch for the eighteenth time. She hadn't came yet....But he had no issues, he was even ready to wait for the whole life for her. He simply smiled fidgeting with the sparkling diamond ring which he intended to adorn in her fingers.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed. He kept the ring over the table, and looked at it. A video was sent by an unknown number. After a few seconds, he played the video.

"Don't worry, I'll do your work. I just want my money on time." He heard a female voice in the video. He narrowed his eyes and to look sharply who was there in the video,but it was too blurry.

"Don't worry about money, you will get that after the work is done.....But be careful, he should not doubt you."

The video cleared, and he saw two people talking. One was a man, complete stranger for him but other was..........Gauri!

"Who will doubt me? That Omkara?" She chuckled, " he's not going to do that,after all he's completely trapped in my so called love. All I have to do is to make him sign those property papers, and I bet, he's going to sign them blindly. Then you'll get what you want and I will be away from this drama, forever."

The phone was ne broken, not out of shock, but with anger....Anger of broken heart....

***************

I opened my eyes, as the same incident again replayed in my dream. I clutched the recliner, where I was sleeping, and tried hard to stop the tears which were forming in my eyes.

THUD!!!!!

I got up straight, to see what that sound was. And the scene was enough to make me slap my forehead. My sketchbooks were pile, canvas was teared, pencils and brushes were scattered, drafting board was cracked, clay was smeared and paints were crashed on the floor. And amidst them, Gauri was standing there with a horrified look.

This girl! First she said that she wants to sleep only on my majestic bed. When I granted her wish by adjusted on my tiny sized recliner, she's creating a mess with my art equipments.

"Gauri!" I called. She shivered, and looked at me with a scared look.

I got up and stood in front of her with my arms crossed across my chest.

"What's this?" I asked with a glare.

"I...I...I didn't do this" she replied.

"Then who did this? A ghost?"

"Yes! Yes!" She replied energetically, " you're correct! You are so intelligent!"

"Gauri!" I said in a strict yet low tone, "I want this clean right now."

"Okay! Okay! I'll clean it....Ekdum har harai ke"

She said, and sat down on the floor to arrange them, while I too kneeled down to do the same.

"Why you didn't sleep?" I asked after wiping the clay and paint with a damp cloth.

"Neend nahi aa rahi thi." She replied with an innocent face.

"So?" I asked.

"What so?" She looked at me with confusion.

"Neend tumhe nahi aa rahi thi to mere saaman ka satyanash kar ke meri bhi neend ura di?" I asked in sarcastic tone.

"I'm sorry, I did it by mistake, don't scold me, Friends don't scold each other, right? I...I.." Her voice choked with a sob.

"Hey! Wait." I said, "don't..Don't start crying...I'll not scold you, okay?"

"Okay!" She nodded like an obedient child.

"And now go to sleep....Its quite late now." I ordered.

After seeing her climbing on the bed and covering herself with a blanket, I too turned towards my recliner to sleep.

After lying down, I had just closed my eyes when suddenly I felt a cold palm over my forehead.

"Gauri....What are you doing?," I asked her with a frown when after opening eyes I found her sitting over the floor, with one hand over my forehead and the other one on hers.

"Oh! Now I understood why are you looking so pale!" She exclaimed ignoring my question.

"What???"

"See, you have fever...." She said.

"Ohoh! Thank you so much for this valuable information.....Now go to sleep." I answered back.

"But you have fever."

"I know that...." I said, "its just a light fever."

"Arre! Light ho ya dark....Fever to fever hi hota hai na?" She whined.

"Gauri! Please! Go to sleep...I am...."

"Wait,  I have an idea." She inturrupted me, and before I could understand what she meant, She took the jug filled with water and with the other hand grabbed one of my art plate.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Have a little patience." She replied. Next she filled my art plate with water and then, dug her hands in the pocket of my shirt.

"Aah! What the hell are you doing?" I asked her again.

"I'm taking this." She said while taking my handkerchief.

"But why are you......" I couldn't even complete my sentence, as she immediately placed her finger on my lips.

"Don't talk, just rest. Quickly! Lie down back." She said and pushed me down on recliner. Next she dipped the handkerchief in the water filled art plate, squeezed it and then spread it over my forehead.

" When I had fever.... Bhavya did this only, and fever quickly ran away." She said.

I shivered a little, feeling the cold cloth over me.

"Is it paining?" She asked bending down.

"No" I replied, "now you go back to sleep."

"But how can I? When you have......"

"I said go!" 

"But....."

"Go!!!"

"Akdu!" She muttered showing me her tongue, "I'm going" she said and stood up to go towards the bed, but  then stopped in her tracks.

"What now?" I asked.

She turned to me,with a smile bent down." Have sweet dreams..." She whispered.

Feeling too drowsy, I didn't answered, but involuntarily showed her a smile.
