Chapter 11 - Maintain the distance

Kevin fell ill right after I confessed to him!

He took a day off and wasn't coming out of his room the whole day. He was afraid to face me, poor him!!

But I believe love can make you go crazy and it was the best excuse for me to remove his suspicions. I knocked on his door many times but he didn't respond to any of my knocking and words!

Left with no choice, I again opened the door with the spare key. As I entered the room, it was all dark in the broad daylight. I called out Kevin's name but still, no response from his side. Suddenly, I started to feel uneasy and worried about him.

Walking through that dark room searching for the right direction I reached near the bed somehow, and there he was sleeping peacefully as if the world was over for him. I placed the palm of my hand on his forehead to check his temperature and he was burning up.

Did I cause this?

How come my love confession affected him so much!!!

I didn't give it much thought and instead started looking for medicine, as I found some my feet rushed to his room waking him up I gave him the medicine all while he was half asleep.

I sat near him and observed his face closely, it was all red from fever. Suddenly, I saw his phone near the pillow and without making any noise or disturbing him I took his phone only to dial Peter. I unlocked the face lock by placing the phone in front of his face and as the phone was opened I called Peter and told him everything!

Soon, Peter reached the house and met me outside in the garden to have a private conversation. And what he told me shocked my soul "Kevin is allergic to love though he didn't even know that himself but every time someone confessed to him, he fell ill and that's how I found out" Peter said with concern. Never in a million years had I heard of this before, it was new for me.

There are many types of allergies but 'love allergy' was out of the world for me. Peter suggested to me to maintain a distance from Kevin or everything will go worse!

He left giving me advice and I was back alone with Kevin.

Kevin is afraid of love and now that I confessed to him it was possible that he may fall ill again, especially whenever I am near to him.

I started my mission "keep distance from Kevin" and my mind was determined to save him from fever.

I made him some porridge as it's good to eat it when you have a fever, I went inside his room and our eyes got locked as he was sitting on the bed reading a book but the sound of the door opening interrupted him and he was again annoyed to look at me!!!!

"I am just here to give you porridge" my voice was low as the words came out my mouth but as usual his face was speaking of anger. I wanted to give him the porridge though at the same time it was important for me to maintain a distance, so I did what I could do best at that moment, I placed the porridge near the door on the floor, not my fault he doesn't have any furniture in his room. Placing the porridge in front of the door I told him to eat it without creating any trouble!!

His face was now even more annoyed as if he was begging God to give him a chance to kill me. While looking at me with his sharp eyes he said "are you afraid I will give you the flu?" Oops! He was thinking the opposite but who cares especially, when the situation was so complicated.

Clothes were hanging on the balcony, I took each one of them and threw them in his direction. He boiled up with anger and threw the clothes back to me saying "This is how you treat someone with fever!" Wish I could tell him the truth but he would never believe me.

"I don't want you as my maid" His voice was crying but whatever I was doing, it was all for his benefit.

I told him to clean his room since I can't go near him, hearing my words he threw me out of his room for good!!!

Later in the evening, I was making dinner in the kitchen and Kevin walked in. His fever was gone and he looked alright, I was happy everything was back to normal but at the same time I have to keep my distance from him or he might fall ill again.

He asked for coffee and like a good maid I made him one as he started enjoying his coffee suddenly he looked at me and said in a deep voice "clean the spider from the wall' the one thing I am scared of after my Dad is 'spider' hearing his words I jumped on Kevin and hugged him tightly, he screamed!!!!

That scream was not because of the spider but because of my hug, his feet started crumbling as I forgot about the distance part, so to save the situation at that moment I did something unexpected, there was a frying pan near the gas, I took it out and hit Kevin on his head.

Kevin passed out in the blink of my eye, I was supposed to save him from getting sick but seems like now I have to call the ambulance!!!!
