His Care

She came outside as soon as she completed her sentences . She has no energy inside her . Their words are still ringing in her ears . His concern is like venom for her . She can't believe that somebody put a question on her dignity . She slowly took some steps but suddenly somebody scooped her .Well some body is none other than Abhay .

The moment she said ' Oh really the one who is the reason for all my miseries is now showing care . Please Mr. Singh Raizada stop it .' it broke his heart . He also came out of the car and followed her . His noticed that Mrinal's steps were slow like she will fall down . So he didn't waste a second , he went near her and scooped her .

Mrinal was wiggling in his arms . She wanted to get out of his hold , to yell at him . But she couldn't . The reason was strangely unknown to her . She stayed silent and also stopped wiggling . Soon they reached inside the mansion . Before entering inside Mrinal said ' Please put me down . What will Choti ma and Chote papa think ?'

Abhay cooed her ' They will not like if I let you walk when you are sick . They will think only about your health . So shhh . '

Then she kept quite knowing who can win with him .

Seeing them his parents came near them . They were talking with each other in their hall room .

Chote papa asked worriedly' What happened to her ? She is fine na . '

Choti ma came near her as Abhay put her down but kept his hands around her shoulders .

She asked her softly ' What happened Mrinal ? '

They became very tensed and sad also as she became sick in the very first day with them . They love her as their own daughter .

she touched her right cheek . Mrinal slowly said 'Nothing just a headache . '

Abhay said ' She is having headache and she is also very tired . I am taking her to room . 'knowing that she doesn't want them to worry about her . One thing he was sure that something happened to her in college as he already got news of people's whisper . He will know everything from those two guards but now he needs to take care of his wife .

His parents nodded and Choti ma said ' I am sending dinner . Mrinal go and freshen up . Your room is ready . '

Mrinal said ' Ok .' and Abhay again scooped her . Now she can't push him in front of them . So again she kept quite .

They reached near a room ( Her New Room ) and went inside . Abhay put her on the bed and said ' Go and freshen up and then rest . You don't need to worry .And please take some rest . '

She got up and said ' And you don't need to behave so good to me please .' and went inside washroom without waiting for his reply . Even she slammed the door with so much force that it made a bang sound telling Abhay to get out of her room .

Abhay shook his head and said to himself ' My stubborn beauty . '

He went out of her room . Mrinal cleaned here face and then came out as she forgot her cloths . She came out after cleaning her face and took a simple salwar .

She took a bath for a long time . She never took so long time for bathing . She was crying silently under shower . She hugged herself sitting on the floor .

*Am I a gold-digger ?*

*Did I make him to marry me ?*

*Why are they thinking so low about me ?*

*The whole college is thinking same ? O goddd !!!!!!!!!!*

At last she came out wearing a simple salwar . Again the closet was like a room but bigger than the penthouse's one . But she didn't notice that closet was different . Even the whole room was also unnoticed by her . She stood in front of the dressing table and started combing her hair . And again she started thinking

I will remain strong .

I know I am not a gold - digger . I will avoid them . I got chances for studying I can't ignore my studies .

What if they accuses me on my face ?

I will tell them that we are married with our own wishes .

Her last thought made her understand that what is going inside her mind .

She said to herself ' I also started thinking the same which we told others . Well why not ? I kept chanting the same thing . '

She didn't care that now her body temperature is very high . Even she was combing her wet hairs making her self more sick .

********************************

She was about to stop combing her as she was feeling cold by now the door knocked . She went to open it . Choti ma came with a maid who brought a food trolley . She came and noticed that her wet hair .

Choti ma touched her and said ' Mrinal your hair is wet . '

Then she took towel and started drying her with a towel and said ' You are really a baby . '

Mrinal felt like she is in her home . Her warm affection make her to shed happy tears and a smile on her lips .

The maid went away . As soon as she completed drying her hair she kept it back and took Mrinal's hand to make her sit . The moment she touched her body she felt her high temperature .

Choti ma : 'Mrinal you are burning due to fever . Why didn't you call me or others . You just sit . I will feed you . Then I will give u medicines . Nooo wait let me call doctor . First let me call Abhay and his Chote papa .'

She was very tensed for her . Why not ? She is their beloved son's lady love and their daughter also . She was about to leave when Mrinal said 'Choti ma don't be so tensed . It is just a fever nothing else . You please feed me . Then I will take medicine . It is due to journey and etc . Nothing else . Please don't bother them . They must be tired . Please don't bother them and yourself also . Please I request . '

Though she was not feeling well but she can't trouble others . She tried to sound normal . She can't tell anyone the phase she is going thro' .

Choti ma 'But you are really very sick . At least call them . Otherwise they will be angry and sad both . '

Mrinal felt guilty ' Okk at least let them have dinner then tell them . You please also have dinner . '

Choti ma : 'Okk first you have your food .'

She fed her dinner, check her temperature and gave her medicine . She went to dinning table where Abhay and his Chote papa were waiting for her .

She came to them and said ' Abhi go Mrinal has high fever . She didn't let me to call doctor . I gave her medicine . Now go to her and tell her that you had your dinner . '

Abhay and Chote papa both said in unison 'Why didn't you call me ?'

Choti ma sighed and said 'What can I do? Mr. Singh Raizada your wife even didn't let me call you with her pleases . And you Mr. Shekhawat have your food or else your daughter will be angry . She requested me to have dinner . God knows with which material she made up of . '

Chote papa ' No no I will go and will tell her that we had it already . '

Abhay stopped him saying ' But Chote papa don't do anything stupid . You have food with Choti ma . I am going upstairs . You come after having dinner . Your health is important . You are not young now . '

That was enough for Chote papa' What the hell did you say " I am old " ? You are an oldie . Huhh . ' and he went upstairs before them . Abhay shook his head knowing nothing can stop him as Mrinal is their own daughter .

Abhay called doctor and went to her room with Choti ma . They went inside and found her inside duvet covering herself till her nose . The doctor also came at the same time as she leaves in their mansion's different part . She and her husband is their house physician . But Mrinal's eyes popped out seeing the doctor .

Choti ma sat beside her and started caressing her hair .

Chote papa said to the doctor ' Doctor please check her . She is fine na .'

Mrinal could feel their concern and she was happy for that . But after listening to his words Mrinal said slowly ' Please no . Doctor you will not give me injection na ? Please I am afraid . ' and Abhay's jaw dropped on the floor . They also loved her cuteness . Even the doctor laughed and said ' Let me check you Mrs. Singh Raizada . '

Mrinal clutched Choti ma's hand and said ' Please no injection .'

This time Abhay replied ' Mrinal Baby calm down . Let him check you . '

He came and sat on the other side . He is tensed as hell . He can't see her in pain . And here she is burning in fever . He couldn't understand that how can she got high fever in this short time . He came to know what happened in the washroom . He could have give them something special what he had given to Rehan if they were not girls . And moreover they were talking with each other but they shouldn't think or talk like this about someone . People will never stop judging others , backbiting about others . But he will do what he should do . He will not do anything which is not acceptable . He was waiting outside with his Chote papa as the doctor was checking her .

The lady doctor checked her and said ' She took long bath or consume cold food , drinks or ice cream . It is not viral . Please keep putting a cold compress on her forehead . She will be fine soon . And give her this medicine . '

As it was not a viral fever so she gave her only crocin advance tablet .

This statement made three of them sad and angry both . And Abhi gave her so hard glare that she more clung to Choti ma and being innocent she said ' I..I took long.. bath . Sorry . ' The doctor gave medicines the same one which she took before and said ' Don't do this again it may make you more sick ' . After knowing that she already took the same medicine she said ' Then don't give medicine again . Give her something like warm milk or soup and check her temperature . If needed call me . Don't be afraid no injection Mrs. Singh Raizada . ' After the doctor left Chote papa said ' Listen sweety people will never say good about others when they are not good themselves . Please don't bother . We are always with you . Please don't harm yourself . It hurts us . '

Choti ma caressed her head ' Yes Mrinal it hurts us . '

And they meant each and every words . They love this innocent girl who is their daughter now . Mrinal understood that they got to know what happened but how .

Mrinal's voice was weak ' No actually .. '

Choti ma assured her ' Don't worry . Your husband is the trustee of the college . So we get every news of college . Now don't talk only take rest or I will be very angry . '

Abhay said sweetly ' And I am afraid of angry Choti ma .' with a fake afraid look .

All laughed at this Mafia's antics and Choti ma ruffled his hair . Abhay said ' Choti ma I am staying here . You people go and sleep . I will be here . '

Hearing this Mrinal's eye widened and she said ' I am fine and I can stay alone . Don't worry . '

They didn't give her any response and nodded their head . They went out leaving Abhay and Mrinal . Abhay came near her and took her hand in his hand and said ' Please don't hurt yourself . Take rest . '

Mrinal nodded like a baby .

*********************************

Abhay was sitting on couch . A maid came with a glass of hot milk as he had talked with his Choti ma through message . He told him to have dinner or else he will tell Mrinal which will hurt her . And in response he also got a threat about having dinner after they complete their dinner . They will stay with Mrinal for that time . She also informed about sending milk for her .

Abhay took the glass from the tray and was about to give it to her . Mrinal said with a cute face ' I don't like milk . I don't want to drink . '

Abhay said ' Well you want me to call your parents at this time of night . Right Baby?' with a smirk .

And she knows this smirk . That old smirk and Baby .

'Uhhh ! I will see you later .' She immediately took the glass from him and drank it in one go . Abhay laughed mentally and said ' You look so cute . ' cleaned her lips with a tissue and kissed her forehead .

Mrinal said nothing and lied on the bed . After completing dinner his parents came and started light conversation to make her happy . In this chance Abhay went down and had dinner as he is afraid of his Choti ma . He came back very fast having food quickly . Mrinal was quite ok with them but she never wanted Abhay to stay with him . She wanted to ask Choti ma to stay with her but she can't trouble her more . Before going back Choti ma kissed her forehead and said in her ears ' Don't worry . Sleep comfortably . He will just keep eye on you . '

Chote papa said ' Sleep peacefully . And inform us if needed . '

Mrinal nodded her head with a smile . She loves this couple very much . Then they bid good night to them . Mrinal immediately closed her eyes pretending as she was sleeping . She did this as she didn't know what to do . She can't tolerate this man .

And the other hand Abhay was admiring his wife . He sat near the bed on a chair . Mrinal still kept her eyes closed .
