Astha's POV :-
" What is going on here?" Came a shrill voice and we jerked up in shock.
We immediately distanced ourselves. I jumped out of the bed and Abhay composed himself up. A light stain staining both of our cheeks like we were caught doing something but trust me we weren't!
" Aunty...Uhh...Mam *I corrected myself* I was just helping him." I said looking down shyly. But why was I embarrassed. It's not like we were onto some exercising ( if you know what I mean ) when she came in right?
Aunty was going to say something when Abhay stopped her in between.
" Astha why are you calling her mam?" He asked confused.
" Because she asked her to." Samarth said rolling his eyes.
" What? Why?" He asked looking at his mother.
" I don't want to bring this up again, beta. You are not well. You should take complete rest. Don't worry about useless things and exhaust yourself up." Aunty said trying to divert the topic.
" But Ma.."
" I said na beta (son). Nothing is wrong here. Here let me help you sit. " She said levelling up the bed head for him to sit comfortably.
" But.." Abhay started again but after getting a negative look from Mr. Saxena decided to drop the topic.
" Now where is the back pillow?" Aunty asked to no-one while searching for the pillow and I immediately rushed to the side to get the fallen pillow. I guess it fell down when Abhay was about to... Immediately my cheeks warmed up at this.
Ghosh! This is what feels like when you are in love ha?
" Here it is." I said smiling and forwarded her the pillow. But she ignored me. So unusual! (Note my sarcasm in here guys!)
" Sammy call the hospital's reception and ask them to bring a back pillow here. We are not paying them tonnes for nothing." She said completely ignoring me and walked past me to get the water pitcher. I sighed. It will be a hard task to melt down this frozen queen from Narnia. I looked at Abhay and saw him frowning at her.
" What's going on between you two." He asked.
" Nothing to stess you out. Mom is in her usual self." Samarth said in a taunting tone and aunty glared at him.
" Don't talk to your mom like that." Then she glared at me. Wait! Isn't Samarth the one to tickle her this time? So why glare at me?
" I think you should change your company that you are with. Seems like they are having a bad influence on you. Look how you started to talk back to your elders." She said clearly taunting me and I controlled very hard to not give her a reply on this. Abhay is already not in a good state and I don't want him to stress out on this.
" Ma why are you.." Samarth tried to argue at this but Aunty stopped him.
" Let my son rest in peace. I suggest you all go out." She said dismissing us.
" Don't you think that you yourself is stressing him out with your actions Ma." Samarth voiced out my thoughts. I was thinking exactly this.
" Sammy let's go from here now. Your mother is right. Abhay needs rest. We will do this later. Please." Mr. Saxena said and started heading out.
" But Pa..."
" I said not now." He declared in his everything is settled and final tone and every one went silent at this.
