She blushed hearing this and his intense gaze on her... she diverts the topic saying.. "Anubhav tumhari tabiyat inti kharaab thi toh tum mujhe phone nahi kar sakte the... vaise toh har baat par phone kar dete ho"

Anubhav (nervously): voh darasal sardiyaan shuru ho rahi hai aur mujhe jaldi catch bhi kar leti hai... bas Nanu nahi hai yaha to thodi jyada masti ho gayi thi... main tumhein pareshaan nahi karna chahta tha.. isiiye nahi bataya... aur mujhe pata bhi nahi tha ki jara sa bukhaar itna bad jayega...

Haseena looking at him with misty eyes.. "tumhein laga hoga ki main tumhari kya madad kar sakti hun.. right?... saying this she lowered her head and starts moving out from there... He immediately hold her hands and make her sit again.. he lift her face.. cupping in his palms and wipe out her tears from his thumb.. "Haseena aisa toh main soch bhi nahi sakta... tum jaanti ho hamare poore group mein agar koi sabse jyada perfect hai to voh sirf tum ho"... he chuckled.. " ab inti kadwi dawai.. itne pyar se khilana aur inti tasty khichdi banana kisi aur ko kisi aur ke bas ki baat hai kya" ... she smiled and turned his face down.....

Then only all four enter in room.. they straightened...

Anubhav: Rohan ab kaisa hai tu...

Rohan looking at Preeti making irritated face: Yaar inti daant kha kar toh koi bhi theek ho jayega.. darr ke maare... pata nahi bimaar ko dekhne kaise kaise log aa jaate hai... isse achcha toh koi bimaar hi na pade....

Preeti in anger: Bataau abhi... ek toh itna pareshaan kiya aur upaar se bakwaas karalo... ek toh chutki mein tumhein theek kar diya... yeh to nahi ki thanks bolo...

Rohan: chutki mein... ya maar maar ke... pata hai Haseena.. Preeti Cheetah ne mere dono haath bandh kar munh pakad kar dawai dhunsi hai mere moonh mein...

Anubhav leaned slight towards Haseena and whispers in her ears : mujhe to kisine itne pyar se dawaai khilayi ki pata hi nahi chala... kisi ke haath se toh kadwi dawai bhi meethi lagne lagi...

Haseena feels shy listening this and smiled looking down.... All four looking at them.." tum log kya gup chup se baat kar rahe ho.. humein bhi bataao"

Rohan: aur haan.. Haseena thanks yaar.. maine aaj tak itni tasty khichdi nahi khaayi...

Vyom: Haan yaar humne bhi taste ki thi.. badi tasty thi...

Cheetah: Haan aur Pulao bhi achcha tha.. main toh do plate kha gaya...

Anubhav irritatingly: Yaar main bimaar hun.. yeh mujhe dekhne aayi hai aur tum sab ne milkar ise kitchen mein laga diya..... sharam karo bhukkadon.....

Cheetah make weird face and said.. "Bhai tera theek hai... tere liye khichdi banai to theek aur hamare liye khaana banaya to pareshaani.. theek hai theek hai... Haseena tu jab main bimaar houn na toh in sab ke liye kuch mat banana.. sirf mere liye Samose.. Pao Bhaji.. Sandwich.. Dhokla aur haan Khichdi bana diyo... aakhir bimaar ko khichdi toh khaani hi hoti hai"

Everyone looked at him amazingly and burst into laughter... Cheetah tera kuch nahi ho sakta... bhukkad..

Haseena: achcha yeh sab toh theek hai par Anubhav tum ab dawaai khao aur chupkar ke aaraam karo.. Varna bukhaar phir tej ho jayega....

Rohan: kuch sikh Preeti.. aise dete hai dawai... Na ki maar maar ke... kitni jaalim hai tu....

Preeti replied in taunting way.." yeh bhi jaruri hai ki kisko deni hai dawai.. samjhe.. ek toh dhyan rakho uppar se baatein sun lo janaba ki.. huh"... Haseena gave medicine and water to Anubhav and he gulp it quietly without any more tantrum... they all left the room leaving them alone... together..

Anubhav : Haseena par tumne kuch khaaya... dekho pehli baar mere ghar aayi ho aur kaam mein lagi ho.. yeh log toh nalaayak hai tumse saara kaam bhi karwa rahe hai...

Haseena : Anubhav main bilkul theek hun... bhookh lagegi to khaa lungi... tum aaraam karo... vaise ek baat puchu... tumhara ghar itna khaali khaali sa kyun hai.. I mean no wall paintings.. no photos.. no decoration...

Anubhav: actually.. Nanu ghar ko renovate karwa rahe hai toh isiliye ghar saara khaali kiya hua hai... aur sara samaan pack karke storeroom mein rakha hai... bas jarurat ka samaan hi baahar hai...

Haseena: oh... chalo koi baat nahi.. tum rest karo... main yahi hun...

Anubhav: Haseena neend nahi aa rahi.. kuch der baatein karte hai na... then they keep chatting with each other.. after some time Haseena realized he slept... she shifted his head properly on pillow and cover him with duvet.... She left the room and went outside..

Vyom: arey Haseena.. tu aa gayi.. Anubhav kaha hai.....

Haseena: voh so gaya hai... Vyom humein bhi thodi der mein chalna hoga varna der ho jayegi... after that she prepared light dinner for all four and left with Preeti after checking again on Anubhav.. who was sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face......

In evening.. Haseena called and talk to Vyom.. later he gave phone to Anubhav..

Anubhav / Haseena together: Hello..... they laughed..

Anubhav : ab isse pehle tum pucho kaisa hun toh main bilkul theek hun.. bukhaar nahi hai bas thodi si kamjori feel ho rahi hai.. kal tak theek ho jaunga...

Haseena laughed and replied to tease him.." toh main phone rakh dun.. ab tumne sab bata to diya"

Anubhav: arey nahi nahi... mera voh matlab nahi tha... main toh bas aise hi.. mujhe laga tum meri chinta kar rahi hogi..

Haseena: Haan to chinta to hogi na... subah jab tumhein dekha tha toh maatha aag jaise jal raha tha.. meri toh jaan hi nikal gayi thi...

Anubhav replied in heavy husky voice: achcha.. par aisa kyun.. kya main itna maayane rakhta hun tumhare liye..

Haseena got nervous and reprimand herself to utter anything... she stammered and said.." nahi voh.. haan ab dost ho toh chinta toh hogi hi na"

Anubhav smiled and think- beta Anubhav inti aasani se jo dil ki baat bol de vo Haseena toh nahi ho sakti..... abhi bahut mehanat karni hai tujhe...

Haseena: kya hua Anubhav.. tum kahaan kho gaye.. kuch bolo na..

Anubhav: nahi kuch nahi... ab tum bhi aaraam karo... varna sabka dhyan rakhte rakhte khud mat bimaar ho jaana.. varna ab mujhe aana padega...

Haseena laughed usaki koi jarurat nahi hai... ab tum khaana khao.. dawai lo aur aaraam karna... aur haan khaana thoda kam masale ka hai.. tumhari tabiyat ki wajah se toh please kha lena... nakhre mat karna..

Anubhav: tumhare haathon se bana hoga toh mein pheeka bhi kha lunga.. usme bhi taste aa jayega...

Haseena feels shy: okay.. Good Night..

Anubhav: Good Night...

They keep tossing in bed remembering each other and drift into sleep vey late...

In morning.. Haseena called up Vyom to check for Anubhav.. who informed that he was again having high fever in night and sleeping till now... She instructs him to let him stay at home and she will be reaching there soon...

Haseena: Preeti.. aaj bhi dekh Anubhav ko bukhaar hai.. humein jaana chahiye..

Preeti put her hands around her neck and kiss on her cheeks.. Haseena rubs her cheek and hit on her arm.. "ab yeh kya hai"... Preeti replied smilingly.. "mujhe pata tha isiliye maine papa se pehle hi kah diya hai ki humein aaj project ke liye Karishma ke ghar jaana hai to voh chale gaye office.. ab hum aaraam se Anubhav ke ghar ja sakte hai"

Haseena "Nahi Preeti aise jhooth bol kar jaana achcha nahi lagta" but Preeti make her agreed that no need to worry as they will be back in college time only.....
