INTERTWINED FATE ~ A MishBir saga

24 • Avoiding each other

Mishti :)

Today's plan was to visit other places of Manali, but at the last moment we changed the plan. Because we wanted to trek and Malana is one of the best place for trekking..

We reached in Kasol before 6.00 AM. After doing our breakfast there we went to Jari which is the starting point of Malana village..

The 5 km trek from Malana Taxi stand to the village tucked at 10000 feet is one of the engrossing day treks you would ever take. Walking the Malana Trek one can't escape the perfect nature setting around.

We reached in farm house at about 7.30PM. We all directly went to our room as we all were tired, but in my case it's worse. This environment really sucks. I am having high temperature. My whole body is paining .. It's difficult for me to even open my eyes...

I glanced at the watch, it's 9.30 PM .. I haven't told anyone about me having fever, as they have planned to go to a near restaurant.. They would have cancelled thr plan for me, so I didn't say anything..

I closed my eyelids, resting my head on the headrest of bed, wrapping the blanket till my waist.

"Mishti! You are still sitting here, aren't you coming with us? " Sam said coming to the room, I yawned being tired..

"Actually I am tired, you guys go na! I will stay here, " I mumbled, she raised her brows and sat near me..

"Even my legs are paining, but once we will go out na you will feel better. Sitting in this room won't help, so better come with us, " she tried to convince me. If I will tell her about fever, she won't go out and will stay with me, which I don't want..

"What you both are doing here? We are getting late, "

We both glanced at the door as Abir came inside.

"Why are you looking so pale? " Abir muttered, staring at my face.

"Nothing! Just little tired, " I mumbled, looking down. My health is getting worse, I felt like someone have kept a big stone on my head.

I got startled feeling Abir's cold hand on my forehead. "You have fever, " he whispered and touched my forehead again on his backpalm.. Sam too came and checked whether I have actually fever or not..

"Seriously! And you are saying you are tired, "

"Should I call the doctor? "

I yawned and stretching my body lazily, I laid on the bed.. "Don't worry! I will be fine.. You guys can go, " I whispered, closing my eyes. Then opened my one eye and closed it quickly. They both were glaring at me.

"Sam, come with me, " I heard Abir's voice and they both left. I opened my eyes only to see nothing but darkness.. The light was off..

Moving my legs up against my stomach I curled my aching body into ball. I felt like the temperature of my body raising up.. I took a deep breath, I had no energy left to wake up and take any medicine..

I turned around hearing heavy footsteps, I could see a familiar figure near the door . Abir. He came inside holding a tray and put it on the teapoy, then turned on the light.. I thought he left to restaurant..

He had changed his dress into his night tee-shirt and pyjama. Even in pyjama he was looking hot. With a frown on his face, he came to me and stood near my legs..

"Come! I have brought bread and milk for you. Eat this then you have to take medicine, " he muttered looking straight into my eyes..

"No need of that, let me sleep, I will feel better, " I whispered, I really was not in a mood to eat anything. And I can't go out of bed as I am wearing a thigh length short pant.
