Late at night Abhi awoke to get some water. He saw Pragya on the couch shivering despite her
blanket. 'How can one sweat during the summer?' he thought to himself. He slowly walked
towards her. The scene in front of him shocked her. Her lips were turning blue but the moment
he touched he moved his back. She was burning.
"What should I do?" He said to himself. He quickly picked her up and put her on the bed. He
literally ran towards Daadi's room.
"Daadi?" He knoched furiously. "Daadi?"
"Abhi?" Daadi said coming out. "Abhi? Is waqt? Kya hua? Itne pareshan kyun ho?"
"Woh Pragya..." Abhi had to say no more. Daadi and Abhi quickly went towards his room. Daadi
quickly inspected Pragya.
"Chotey towels and pani." Daadi had to utter and Abhi ran searching for the required items. Abhi
quickly got them. Daadi started to wet the towel and put them on Pragya's head while her body
was covered with the duvet. Slowly, her fever reduced and she returned to her normal
temperature.
"Take care of her. In the morning, we can call the doctor." Daadi told Abhi with a smile knowing
how worried and scared he was for Pragya. Abhi just nodded in anticipation.
Daadi left for her room, smiling to herself. Abhi closed the door and lay beside Pragya. He
thought for a moment and pulled Pragya towarfs to himself.
Pragya's head was on Abhi's shoulder while her protectively held her as if she was fragile doll
, that would crack due to the lightest touch.

Pragya awoke early in the morning in Abhi's arm. It was around 5am. She was shocked yet she
felt a strange kind of comfort inside her heart. She tried to move away but Abhi's hold just got
stronger. She tried to push his hands but the hold kept getting stronger.
Still in sleep he pulled her closer to him and started mumbling. Pragya could only make out the
words 'Shiver' 'Sick' 'Heat' 'Freezing'. After a while she gave up and fell asleep.
Around 9am, Abhi woke up to find Pragya still in arms, sleeping peacefully. He had never seen
her in such peace. His heart ached at the thought. It made him realize that how ill he had treated
him. Slowly Pragya opened her eyes to find Abhi staring at her with love and care.
They shared an eyelock for God knows how long. Before Pragya realized she was still in his
arms.
"Umm... I..." Pragya began looking nervous. Abhi realizing left her quickly.
"Yeah..." Abhi replied. "How are you feeling?"
"I am fine." Pragya asked. "Why?"
Just then Daadi entered the room with the doctor. Abhi quickly got out of the bed.
"Oh gooh. Dono uthey hue ho." Daadi said smiling. "Pragya, tabiyat kaisi hai? Raat ko tum ne
Abhi ko- mera matlab humein dara hi diya bukhaar aur behosh hone pe."
Abhi turned to every shade of red at Daadi's 'slip'.
"Mein washroom..." Abhi said before running towards the bathroom. Daadi just laughed at his
reaction.
"Pyar hai tumein. Pyar." Dadi thought to herself.
