Sidharth just came out after taking shower when his phone rang. He picked up the phone and it was none other than from his manager Rhea.

Sid : "Hello Rhea, what's up?"

Rhea : "Sir, your shoot for the webseries is paused for three days. Ekta maam's manager informed me few hours back."

Sid : "What?  But why? She didn't say anything yesterday!"

Rhea : "They just informed me this."

Sid : "Okay Rhea. Thanks."

Sid cut the line.

"What happened that she paused the shooting? Let me call her."
Thinking this to himself Sidharth dialed Ekta's number.

''''''''''''''''''''

Ekta : "Hey buddy, Good morning!"

Sid : "Good morning Ekta. Actually I call you to know why do you pause the shooting for three days? You didn't tell me anything about it yesterday..."

Ekta : "Actually Shehnaaz called me today and asked for three days leave. She isn't well, so I pause it."

Sid : "What happened to her? Is she okay?"

Ekta : "Nothing serious. Just a mild fever."

Sid : "Okay Ekta. I'll talk to you later."

Ekta : "Yeah! Bye!"

Sid : "Bye."

"She is alone in her apartment. I could remember those days when she used to have high fever. She didn't even eat a single bite until I made her eat! I have to be there now!"

Thinking this to himself Sidharth left his house.

''''''''''''''''''
Shehnaaz's home,

Even under a light cotton sheet she was radiating heat like a brick right out of the oven. She ate nothing but water, so diminished was her appetit. She was alone in her apartment. Whenever she got a fever before Sidharth was there with her but now things were different. Their yesterday's emotional encounter , sudden proximity and her emotional turmoil - everything messed her life up! She was unable to bear it so was he. She wanted to trust him this time but her mind warned her.She couldn't figure it out that what she should do and what she shouldn't.It was a complete mess she was in. She was feeling helpless lying like this on her bed. She needed him. His presence was all she wanted for now.
Her trance broke when she heard the ring of the doorbell.

"This is the 5th time I'm ringing the bell. Is she okay? Why isn't she opening the door? Open it Shehnaaz!"

Sidharth pressed the bell's switch again restlessly.
