Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Roshni's P.O.V.

I kept waiting for Tithy for a while on the way to get back home together but when she was nowhere to found, I called her.

Her phone kept ringing but she didn’t answer it. This never happened before. I was thinking to go looking for her but then I remembered Ammi who must be alone at home.

I decided to go home first and kept thinking who knows! She might be home already.

But I entered home only to find that was not the case.

I found Ammi in the kitchen and asked her to make sure, "Ammi, Is Tithy home?"

She kept herself busy with kitchen stuff and answered me without looking at me, "Not yet."

I went towards my room and got freshen up. After that I called her again for few times but still there was no response.

I kept saying to myself, "It happens sometimes. She got two days off earlier that's why may be she is working late. It happened to me for few times. So nothing to worry."

Then I went towards kitchen to help Ammi only to get avoided this time as well.

Without looking at me, Ammi said, "It's okay. I can do it by myself. You don’t need to bother yourself for this. You do whatever you feel like doing."

"Ammi, will you please stop now?" I pleaded her but it somehow made her all worked up as she went on saying, "Don’t you think I should be the one to say that? For how long you will keep going on like this? If you don’t like Tamim, then it’s okay but bring me the boy you want to marry or get ready to marry someone I like."

I kept staring at Ammi silently. This is exactly what I thought she would do, if I disagree this time.

I went towards my room while thinking what should I do.

Tithy's P.O.V.

After completing my work, I again went towards Ruhaan Sir's cabin and after knocking, entered there.

He was leaning on the chair closing the eyes. He was looking not so well.

When I said, "Sir, I completed my work.", he spoke up in a brusquely tone, "Leave."

"Sir, you okay?" I asked in concern but he uttered the same word, "Leave" in the same tone.

I nodded and turned to walk out of the cabin when I heard his loud groan. "Is he sick?" I uttered under my breath and again turned to him.

He was holding his head with both of  his hands. I rushed to him and touched his forehead. It was burning.

"Sir, you have a high fever. You need a doctor", I spoke up but he didn’t reply.  Suddenly he rushed to the rest room and I ran behind him.

After gagging, he threw up on the bowl of the toilet kneeling down on the floor. I sat beside him and rubbed his back.

"No. Please, go." He swatted my hand away but I insisted, "Sir, please. Let me help you."

Then I helped him stand and he cleaned his mouth and hands. I took him to his cabin and helped him lie down on the couch. Then I called the doctor.

"Thanks for your help. You may leave now" He said but I stood in my place as I was not going to leave him alone anyway not at least till the doctor came.

So I spoke up, "Sir, you please rest. I will stay here till the doctor comes." but I guessed, he fell asleep already.

Doctor came after a while. After checking on Sir, he gave me what all medicines to be given to him and instructed me to make sure he took rest and his meal properly.

I kept there sitting beside him on the chair for a while and then remembering doctor's word, I went out to get the medicine. Getting the medicine, I came back to office and rushed to his cabin to check on him. I found him sleeping peacefully. Keeping the medicine on the table, I went to company cafeteria but found it closed.

I took keys from the guard and opened it and found enough ingredients to make vegetable soup.

I quickly made the soup. Taking the soup, I came back to Sir's cabin after locking the cafeteria and giving the keys back to the guard.

When I came back, sir was still sleeping. I also sat on the chair keeping the bowl of the soup on the table. While sitting for a while, I also felt sleepy.

I almost fell asleep but hearing a sound, my sleep got away and I sat properly and looked around only to find someone standing in the cabin looking at us surprisingly.

I immediately stood up and he got close to Ruhaan sir who was still sleeping.

Shaan's P.O.V.

Vai was not answering my calls. After remaining all day at home, I thought of going to meet him in person.

I went to his house but he wasn’t there. So I thought he must be in the office and without thinking too much, I went to his office.

I was right as I saw his car parked right there. I directly went towards his cabin and knocked but heard nothing.

So I pushed the door and entered the cabin to check whether he was there.

He was not in his chair. When I turned to leave, I caught the sight of him lying on the couch and sleeping. He was not looking well.

I saw the girl, Tithy sitting beside him on a chair who was sleeping in that position which reminded of the past time when vai was ill and Titly was sitting beside him like this while keeping a soup beside her so that she could feed vai whenever he would wake up.

I saw there a bowl on the table as well. I was utterly shocked seeing the situation and the similarity and got paused there.

The girl opened her eyes and caught the sight of me and she also got shocked. Soon the expression turned to anger as she got near me.

With an angry tone, she asked me pointing at vai, "You call him vai, right? Is he really your real brother!" Sarcasm was filled in her voice with anger.

"What do you mean?" I also asked her in a cold tone.

She didn’t bother my coldness and answered, "Look at his condition. According to the doctor, he has not been taking rest or his meal properly lately. And it's quite obvious. Anyone would say that seeing him like this. Shouldn’t you have taken a little care of him at least? Rather than just calling him your brother, be and act like one."

Hearing this, I looked at vai again. He was really looking exhausted.

Our talk might be disturbed his sleep as he opened his eyes. Seeing me and Tithy standing like that, he also would have remembered old times as he spoke up slowly, "A sick man is sleeping here but you two just started your Tom and Jerry show like always."

I sadly smiled hearing that but Tithy got shocked. Seeing our expression, vai looked at us confusingly and then all around only to understand the situation that changed his expression.

He sat on couch and gave me a glance. Then he turned to Tithy and said, "You didn't leave yet. What are you still doing here? Have you noticed the time?"

"Actually, sir I didn’t want to leave you alone like this." she tried to go on but vai stopped her and said, "I am fine now. You should go."

To our utter surprise, she got near vai and said, "No. You are not fine. I have made veg soup for you. Have it then you have to take medicine and no more work now. You need to take rest."

She was behaving just like Titly. Vai smiled a little and took the bowl of soup. After taking a spoonful for few times, he looked at Tithy and said, "I am taking it. You go. Your family must be worrying for you."

"But sir.." she tried to protest again but vai stopped her again and took out his phone.

"Tithy is going down in a minute. Take her home." saying this, vai cut off the line and said to her, "Go. My driver will be taking you home as it’s quite late."

She left the cabin and I got near vai. He was taking soup silently without looking at me for once.

When I tried to say, "Vai" he just yelled, "Shaan, please."

I pleaded, "Vai at least listen to me for once."He uttered only one word, "No"

When I was about say something again, Tithy came to the cabin again.

"Sir, please make sure to take medicine and rest after you complete the full bowl."

Vai didn't reply her anything. Then she looked at both of us and sensing the situation going on here, she spoke up something that caught us off guard.

"May be it’s not my place to say this but still I would like to say. The behaviour of you two tells that you were very sure to be happy if just Titly would have been alive. Then at least try to live happily now to make her feel less guilty. As it’s not like she wanted to leave you two. She didn’t have any option. She just had to."

Saying that, she left from there giving a sad smile and we two remained there frozen.

Roshni's P.O.V.

It was almost 9 by night. I was getting damn worried for Tithy as she wasn’t home till now. I was afraid if something bad happened to her.

She was not taking my calls also. After trying for almost 30 times, she answered and before she could say anything, I spoke up, “Where are you sweetie? Why aren’t you home yet? Did anything happen? Are you okay?”

At last part my voice was trembling which got relaxed when she said, “Oh oh. Cool Api. My phone was on silent mode. I am okay and on my way back home. You don’t worry. Getting home, I will tell you everything.”

Feeling relieved, I said, “Okay. Come soon.”

To tell this to Ammi, I got outside. But she wasn’t in the kitchen. I went towards her room and found her crying taking hugging a photo frame which was of Abbu for I sure.

I went near her and put my hand on her shoulder. She looked at me with teary eyes and kept staring at me for a while.

When she moved away my hand while crying, I couldn't handle to see her like this anymore.

To make her stop, I spoke up going against myself, “I will marry Tamim.”
