Don't Leave Me #3 *WattpadIndiaAwards*

Chapter 10

*Palak Pov*

"Are you okay, Palak?" I opened my eyes only to meet two pairs of worried eyes staring at me and I can guess a hint of curiosity added to it.

"It's been four days and you look worse everyday day. Why don't you have a check up right now?" Tina added to Veer's question.

"I am fine! I just need to sleep." I mumbled, rubbing my eyes and started eating the lunch they both brought for me.

I just closed my eyes for a few seconds while waiting for them to return with our lunch, but I don't know when I drifted off into sleep. I can understand their worry, but there is nothing much wrong except me being deprived of sleep.

"Your fan is causing trouble again?" Veer asked, frowning and I gave him a nod without saying anything else.

I can't explain what is happening during these four days properly. It's been three days since I heard that confession from him and I don't know whether to call it a confession in the first place.

Anyway, his words added to that stupid mattress caused me as much trouble as they can. To top of that I am trying to cook him meals and also do all the housework which I used to postpone most of the time feeling lazy.

In the end, I am completely tired, but there is no where to get good sleep to overcome that tiredness. Now, how can I explain all this to these two?

"Why don't you let me check it?" Veer's question brought me out of my worries.

"No! I mean, my landlord doesn't like it, let others touch the electrical problems except for the person she wishes to." I covered my immediate reaction with that explanation which is not a lie because she is really like that.

"And the person who can take my problem away will return by the end of next week." I added thinking about Satish.

"And she wants you to get troubled in this way until then?" Tina asked in a shock tone and I gave her a simple nod.

Maybe I will make him sleep on the mattress today as the bruises I saw on his body seems to reduce. Even the ones on his face are getting better. But what if it causes discomfort when I am feeling such by myself? And I still have the problem with the way he has been recently.

Whenever I am trying to show him concern, he immediately launches his evergreen words that I shouldn't treat him as a patient. On top of that we are even talking about my work everyday I return home and when I try not to, he just simply says that he is bored staying alone for the whole day even with the laptop present.

Sometimes I actually feel guilty that I don't have a television in my room which I shouldn't feel, but the way he expresses his difficulty is like too much for me to handle in a normal way and it just gets too personal no matter how much I try.

"Why don't you sleep in one of the dorms until it gets checked? There should be some empty bed in one of those." Veer commented and I immediately stared at him pushing away all my thoughts.

"What if it troubles someone?" I asked him frowning.

"Come on! They all will not sleep at a time, right?" he asked back and I gave him a nod realizing he is absolutely right.

"And you can try for some overtime so that it will be comfortable for you to stay here for a long time." Tina added.

"You don't want to go and freshen up at home and come here only during sleeping hours?" Veer asked frowning.

"She is about to fall down with exhaustion and how can she travel twice today? You have spare clothes, Dr. Palak? Why don't you do like he says from tomorrow and just get a long sleep today." She adviced staring at me.
