" Achoo " she is sneezing , she got a cold due to soaking in rain

They reached late and got a scolding from his father  , and warned her not to do anything like this again changing their clothes they slept

Morning she felt a little headache ,so she take rest

Coming out of the room she saw alina sitting on couch " oh thank god  you woke up how are you feeling now? She asked

" i am fine " rhea replied

" okay i have to go urgently somewhere , uncle aunty is not here , they have to go somewhere to their relative urgently and kabir is ill-  i was literally freaking out  ....she rambled but rhea intruptted her

" wait ...wait kabir is ill ?" rhea asked

She nodded her head" yes he is vomiting his guts out since morning , i asked him if he need any help but he declined and ask me to leave " she answered worriedly

Rhea  glanced toward his room " Okay okay i have to leave , if it is not urgent then i would stop ... Alina hurried out receiving her call

She bit her lips and look toward the closed door of his room , for few minutes she kept thinking whether to go to his room or not , if he don't like her coming in his room unannounced, but if he need something  , he is sick after all? "She sighed don't know what to do , her mind is saying something and her heart is saying other thing

She made her way toward his room and stand infront of his room , taking a deep breath she knocked his room but came no reply, " kabir "she asked and knocked a door couple of times , she waiter for few seconds  

" Kabir i am coming in " she said loudly , paused for a moment then slowly open the door , he is  making her worried for him ,

The room is total dark , curtains  are covering the window - stopping sunlight to entetr in room ,  she take step and called him again but came no reply , she saw the bed is empty , the duvet and pillows are lying messily on bed , she hear a retching sound from bathroom indicating he is vomiting - again

Before she take step toward bathroom he came out " what are you doing here ?

" i came to check on you , are you okay " she said looking at him, who look tired and ailing , his hair are completely mess, his eyes are bloodshot red, his forehead is covered in sweat

" yeah i am okay ......you leave ," he said going to the bed and lay down putting comfortor on his face , he don't want her to sick because of him

She rolled her eyes " i am not going anywhere " she said and pushed curtain aside for sunlight to enter in room

He groaned seeing the sunlight covered the duvet on his face " i said go " he said coldly

She walked near him and pulled the comfortor off his face , " get up first eat  something and take medicine then you can take rest as much you want " she don't  know from where this bravery come , but if she didn't take care he will make himself more sicker .

In concern she put her hand on his forehead to realize that he is suffering from fever " you are burning kabir , you need to see doctor " she said anxiously

" it is okay ...if i take good rest i will be better " he said removing her hand

" yeah afterall you are MAN " she said sarcastily

He narrowed his eyes " what does that mean" ?

She chuckled " nothing you get up i will take something for you to eat "

She take a seat beside him on bed , his head is resting on headrest , " now please eat " she said and put tray on his lap

He saw in the bowl " what's that? " he said making face

" vegetable soup its good for health " she answer

" i don't think i can eat  " he said clearing his throat

" Do you want me to help you to eat " she asked innocently , she is really worried for him

" i don't like it " he said

Taking a spoon full of soup she enter in his mouth and chuckled " its not that bad " she said and chuckled

He likes this closeness Between them , he want to embrace her in his arms , she is feeding him, her face has that innocence which capture his heart , her lips are inviting him , he shook his head why always his train of thoughts stops on her

" Thank you " he smiled ,she smiled and gave him medicine , laying him she sit beside him and put wet towel on his forrhead

" i have taken medicine , i will be okay you go and take rest you are also not well " he said

" i am okay you sleep now " she said pressing his head a little

" why you care for me so much " he said with closed eyes , to which she just turn her head away

She saw he  fell asleep , she caress her hand on his face " you don't know why i care for you, even i don't know , i want to hate you, i want to stay away from you but my heart always pulled me toward you  my heart twisted,feel agony to see you in this state, you betray me, ..i ..." she couldn't stop her emotions and started sobbing putting her hand on her mouth , she sobbed , didn't want to disturb his sleep

..........................................................

After some days he feel good ,he wanted to see her but again she is missing

" dad where are you going " he asked his parents who are going somewhere taking lots of gifts

" Oh sorry we forget ....Actually ..."he starter but his mother stop him , but he blink his eyes

He stared both of them confusedly

" Actually we are going to fix the marriage proposal for rhea " his father said in one break smilingly

" Mar...riage ....but why? " he shocked to hear this , his heart twisted like someone slap on his face

" Why ....she have to marry one day so ..." his father said shrugging his shoulder and chuckled

" but atleast you should ask her ....this is her life ... What about her parents " he said is

" oh that ....we ask her and her parents ...they said whatever our decision is ok for them....she said whatever our decision she will agree " he said " Okay now we are getting late you take care my son " he continued pressing his shoulder and left from there

Kabir is checking the time again and again , it was 12 am already and she didn't return , he called her numerous times but her phone is switched off , he is getting worried with each passing second

He is pacing in living room gazing at door again and again

Everyone else is already asleep in their room ,

" why she didn't come yet ?"

" i hope you are okay "  he whispered and closed his eyes, he hear the click of door and there she is

Rhea walk towards him " where were you? " he asked in angry tone

I..i." she flinched with his loud voice , she has no idea what to speak

" Tell " he asked stepping closer to her , she feel nervous at his closeness

" party got over late and it takes time to wrapped everything " she said and tried to walked pass him

He held her arm tightly " atleast you should call me ...i was hell worried for you " he speak gritting his teeth

" leave my arm....and who are you to worry for me huh? ...tell me why should i tell you my whereabouts " she asked glaring at him

" Because ..." he tried to reason ,but all in vain , he wanted to say but nothing came in his mind what to speak

Because?" she saie gazing in his eyes , searching something she desperately wanted to hear

" Ok let it go ...you don't have any answer " she said turned to go but he held her wrist,

She tried to get out of his grip but he didn't let her go .

He snaked his around her waist and dashed her closer , she put her hand on his chest " what are you doing ?" she whispered , his touch is disturbing ,creating something which she don't want to feel

" you agree for the proposal? " he whispered near her ear , his breath is falling on her face

She jerked her head up and saw in his face " Yes " she said

" Why ? " he asked in a pained voice , right now he is too high in emotion , he don't know what he is doing

She pushed him hard and came out of his grip " so what ? Its my life ...i can do anything i want ...one day i have to marry so why not now ...i agree fo... She rambled

Kabir is controlling himself not to do something  wrong , but he is losing his control, he can't see her with someone else, he is burning in jealously

" if i want i can marry in another week you are.....her words cut off by his lips on her , her hands still in air , she stilled on her place

Slowly she closed her eyes , accepted him , he lost his control on jeasouly and kiss her on soft lips, he is kissing her, she lift her arms up and run in his hair

She lost control on herself but when realization on her ,

He left her

He don't want her

She pushed him hard to which he stumbled a little , it knocked his all senses , he stare at her face her , her eyes are closed , her hand is hanging down in fist

"why "

She whispered , a lone tear escape from her eyes

" Why you did this ? " she shouted this time

His heart felt pain, that tear break his heart , he felt she rejected even before listening him , before letting him explain his feelings

" I ..." he tried to speak

" you betrayed your girlfriend , atleast stay honest for once ,  what will she think of you...of me...or all you know to how to break people heart " she is saying hitting his chest , sobbing loudly

He hold her boths and jerked her towards himself , " She is not my girlfriend " he said close to her mouth , looking in her eyes

He brushed his hand on his hair and turn around , she is  shocked , stand still there

" Alina is my friend , we met in university, infact we both started our business together , she is my business's partner also , before coming here she also wanted to see India , so we agreed , but before coming home i tell her to become my fake girlfriend  , " he said and turn around , seeing her who is crying

Holding from her shoulder he said " Two and half years ago my father forced me to marry someone , i don't want to marry that time , i wanted to acheive my dreams , i ...i ...just don't want to accept the person who i don't love "

" It is not easy for me to come here , every day i miss my parents , i was angry on them , i send divorce paper after six months hope her to sign ...and i don't know after that , So for them i make a plan and make alina my girlfriend ..........She is already engaged " he confessed and look toward her eyes , he wanted her to say something, anything, due to today's talk with his father he realized  sooner or later she have to get married , and his heart don't agree with this thought , he wanted to keep her to himself

Cupping her face " Rhea ...I...I..Lo.." before he could say something she ran towards the stairs , and straight went to her room , leaning against it and kneeling she sobbed putting her hand on her mouth

" what i have done "

"she will surely hate me now "

He thought , his mind is fully blank , he don't know what he should do to make things better .
