She was in a fix. She had two options. To go and call Krishna ma or help him herself.

"Mr Kapoor" she tried calling him again but In vain. He seemed to be in a totally different world murmuring her name and a please trust me. She trusts him dammit! What the hell happened.

Anyway, keeping her thoughts aside she decided to get help from Krishna ma. She knew that ma will be sleeping but she thought she will get her help. She can't handle him alone. As she tried moving, he caught her wrist.

"Please don't leave me Priya" he said.

She looked at him. He was literally wailing, his face disturbed and tears flowing from his eyes. She wiped off the sweat and tears from her pallu, ending up in wiping his whole face.

God! His fever is increasing so badly! She thought. She tried releasing the grip but he held her so strongly.

She decided to help him herself. As she sat next to him, she unbuttoned the top three buttons of his Kurta to make him feel less suffocated, as he kept moaning her name. "Mr Kapoor" she called tried waking him up. But he wasn't listening.

Is he acting? She thought for a second and hit him slightly on his shoulder. But he didn't bother. She tried tapping his cheeks. But no. She then felt his bare chest on her palm and realised he was burning so badly.

Oh my god! He's having a heavy temperature!  She finally realised. Must be having a nightmare she thought.  She took her hands upward which resulted in his raising his hands as well as he was having the grip on her wrist. She made herself comfortable in the gap she had with him by lying on his arms and encircling the other hand around her waist. She cuddled close to him taking him in tight embrace.

She felt his breathes on her collarbones. She suppresses the emotion she was feeling as she closed her eyes.  Realising that she was here, he pulled her more closer snuggling more to her, released his hands from her grip and caught her waist. There was no gap between the two of them. He seemed to calm down a bit but it was getting very tough for Priya. He was pulling her close and close every second snuggling more to her, his lips on her shoulders. She chose to remain quiet as she was able to calm him down, atleast!

She could feel the heat his body was generating. She kept swiping the sweat off his face, constantly with her hands. She turns now and then and keeps staring at his peaceful face.  He held her bare waist with one hand pulling her more close to him while his breathes on her neck bone, created havoc inside her. Finally, snuggling more close to him without even a thin air gap, she goes into deep slumber as she realises he was fine.

Hours later as Ram woke up with pain in his arms, he saw Priya sleeping in his arms, peacefully with a smile. He didn't know why she was there. But as he saw that his hands were on her bare waist, he blushed a bit. He saw that she was snuggling close to him every minute he was parting a bit away from her. He smiled. He adjusted his arms for her to sleep even better not caring about his wounds even though it gave him pain. He just wanted her to be comfortable.

The next morning, Priya woke up first. Rubbing her eyes again, like the usual routine, she found herself cuddled up with him, she jerked off, finding that he was calmly sleeping and she was clinging on to him.

She immediately recollected all that happened.  She leaned a bit forwarding her hand to check his temperature. He was fine. She released his hands from her wrist as she moved away from him, covering him properly with the duet. While she was doing it, she saw the wounds in his arms.

"Yaar Priya you made it even more worse for him. It'll pain so badly" she thought. She hit herself as she moved away to inform Krishna ma about his health.
