Light of my Life

Part-11

The next morning, Virat went for a meeting leaving Aarya with Mahi.

Mahi sat beside Aarya caressing her hair as she was sleeping and she felt much calmer.

After an hour she woke up.

"Ahh" she groaned holding her head.

Mahi immediately helped her sit up.

"Headache" she murmured.

"Have some food and then medicines would be better. Okay kiddo?"

She nodded and pointed at her head indicating him to massage it. He sat beside her and massaged a bit.

Waiter came with their food.

Mahi fed her and had his food.

He forwarded medicines to her and she nodded in no.

"I don't want medicines!" She said meekly

"You have to get better na bacha?"

"Yes!"

"Then you will have to eat these meds!"

"No na!"

Mahi sighed "like brother like sister!" He thought to himself.

"Come on, eat! For Virat to have them! He can't see you sick na, he will feel sad."

"Okayy!"

She had them without further tantrums.

"Good girl." Aarya made faces at him.

After an hour he checked for fever, it was still high he then applied cold strips. It came down a bit!

She suddenly started coughing, and he rubbed her back and made her drink water.

"Okay?"

"Yeah!"

He wiped the sweat and tears off her face.

Mahi sat massaging Aarya's head, she closed her eyes

Virat came back and saw him taking care of her. His eyes got moist.

He quitely came beside Mahi and whispered

"How is she?" This startled him.

"Better! How was your meeting Cheeku?"

"Annoying as always bhai!"

"Go freshen up, I will order some food for you!"

"Ha Bhai!" He smiled and went to freshen up.

He hugged Mahi, and he hugged him back.

"You are back bhai!" Aarya said with a soft smile on her face.

"Yes kiddo! Close your eyes!"

"I am fine Bhai!"

"I will come back in some time, I have some work!"

"Come back fast bhai!"

"Yes kiddo!"

He left!

Aarya rested her head on his shoulder!

"You okay bhai?" Aarya asked

"Yes bacha, I am fine. Just tired."

"Have some rest na bhai!"

"Yeah bacha!"

After his food he thought of sleeping for a while but he kept getting calls for meetings. He sighed.

"What's wrong bhai?"

"Nothing kiddo!"

"Tell na."

"I feel like a failed brother, when you need me the most, I am not able to give time to you!"
