168 TOO MUCH CARE

"Not yet", I replied, and smiled again, 

"Jhummi, are you up", I heard Suhani's voice, as she was yelling from downstairs, 

I dialled Suhani's number, and she picked in one ring, 

"Hey, you finally up, I thought you are gonna wake up the next day directly", she taunted, 

"Why, what time it is", I asked and she laughed, 

"See yourself", she said and I looked at the watch, 

"Oh my god, it is past six, when did it happen", I yelled, as I did not have any idea that I slept that long, 

"Yes, it happened, now it is okay, I did not disturb you because this sleep was so important for you, and it was the effect of the medicine, so now come down, I am hungry", she said and hang up, 

"And, I wish that you will never disappear from my sight", Abhay's message popped p on my screen, oh my god, he is getting emotional, 

I was about to open his chat but he unsend it, thank god he did it, or else I would be feeling awkward, 

"Thank God", he replied with a laughing emoji, and I l laughed, he is good at changing talks, I mean probably he can not change his emotions, 

"I will catch you in some time, need to go", I replied with a smile, but he was already offline, wow, he sometimes amuses me, 

I got up from my bed, and headed down, just then the doorbell rang, who will be at this time before I could reach down, 

Suhani opened the door and she jumped in happiness and quickly hugged Neel, and I smiled to look at them, they are looking so adorable, my smiled just vanished when I saw Ayan was standing behind him, with a lot bags in his hands, 

I must say, Ayan has some kind of supernatural powers or something, he could behave so genuine and normal when the person could die by his ignorance, I mean he simply amazing, 

"What are you doing here", I asked Neel as he came to hug me, it was needed at all, we just met yesterday, 

"What do you mean, it is my house too", he said and laughed and sat down on the sofa, 

"No, I did not mean that, I mean you did not inform you were coming, that is it", I said and sat on the sofa, opposite side, 

"Yes, we were just out so I thoughts why do not I go and meet to you both, so I came here", he said, and smiled in front of Suhani, 

"Oh, you were missing me so much, so you came to meet me, impressive", I said teasing him, and he gave me an angry look, 

"Hey Ayan, how are you, you look so quiet, is everything okay", Suhani asked Ayan as he was just sitting on the sofa like a statue, and he looked up as Suhani asked him, 

"Oh, yes I am alright, thank you for asking, how are you", he asked with a smile, and Suhani smiled back, 

"That is great, I am good", she said, 

"And what is in the bags", she added, well, we both knows what is in the bag, still she asked for formality, 

Yes, we are happy, but never mind, we were about to order food, so it is just okay, 

"That is so sweet, thank you so much", said Suhani, and smiled, she is behaving so formally, 

"Okay, you guys sit, I will serve dinner", I said and get up from my seat, 

"Jhummi, wait, why your eyes are looking so pale and swollen", said Neel, I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath, 

Now what to say, by the way, he noticed too late, but he did, I know it is so hard to lie in front of him, he catches my lies so easily, 

I slowly turn my head and smiled so brightly, 

"Oh, really", I asked surprisingly, I shared a look with Suhani who was watching at my direction, 

"It is just I overslept, nothing else", I said with a smile, 

"Jhummi, are you trying to hide something from me", Neel asked me, he was looking a bit serious, 

"No Neel, why would I do that, you can ask Suhani if you want", I said as I know I can not handle his intense look, so put it on Suhani and she looked at me instantly when I took her name, 

I forget that she is also a bad lair, Neel will know this, and I just did not want him to know, 

"Suhani, you tell me the truth, is she saying the truth or she again had that", he asked Suhani, and she becomes quiet, I was continuously trying to give her signal to speak, or else Neel will know, but she becomes a statue, 

I glared at her and then she thought she should speak, 

"Hmm, yeah Neel, yes, actually, she is fine, and", Suhani was stammering, she was trying to explain, but her reaction made it clear for Neel, and he showed his palm to Suhani and she becomes quiet, 

Neel came close and stood in front of me, and now I was preparing myself for his big lecture, 

I turned my head to run away in the kitchen, 

"The food is getting cold", I said, but Neel's voice stopped me, 

"Dare if you move from here", and I smiled awkwardly, 

"Come on Neel, stop doing this, it was nothing", I said and put my hand on his shoulder, but he jerked my hand, 

"It was nothing, that is why your eyes look like that, right", he said, and he was looking so angry, 

"Neel, it was just a headache, nothing else, can you please calm down now", I said, and try to make him understand, 

"Jhummi, you know very well how worse it could be, why you are always careless about your health, why you do not listen to me", he yelled and sat back on the sofa, 

"And Suhani, you are her best friend right, why you did not inform me, you know her condition gets worse at that time", Neel said to Suhani and I could see a guilty look on Suhani's face, seems like she is about to cry, 

"Neel, why you are blaming her, she has nothing to do with this, she asked me to call you, but I refuse her to do that", I said and I hugged Suhani, 

"I am so sorry", Suhani said and she was having tears in her eyes, 

"Suhani, there is nothing you can do about it, and dare if you cried, I will kick you", I said and wiped her face, and just then Neel came close, 

"I am so sorry baby, I did not mean to yell, it was just I was angry on her carelessness, please you do not cry", said Neel and pulled her into a hug, 

I took a deep breath and excused myself, I know Neel could make her smile, 

Ayan was sitting still at his place, and using his phone, did not even bother to look at my side, great, I also turned my face, picked the bags and headed towards the kitchen, 

I served dinner and arranged plates and took them out, food was smelling too good, and I was hungry too, 

I did not have lunch too, so obviously I am so hungry, Suhani was talking to Neel and smiling and blushing at the same time, and that made me happy, I can not see her crying, she is so sensitive, 

"Come on guys, dinner is getting cold", I said and sat on the dining table, I already arranged four plates for us, and I did not want to call him specifically, so I called them together, 

Suhani and Neel nodded and came, but Ayan was still sitting at his place, 

"Come on dude, come", Neel called Ayan before sitting and he nodded and put his phone in his pocket, and then he came and pulled his chair in front of me, 

They were still sitting, but I filled my plate and started eating, 

"Jhummi, it is a bad manner, can not you wait for us", said Neel in a teasing tone, 

"Let him eat Neel, she did not have lunch", said Suhani on my behalf, and I laughed a little, but Neel was glaring me, 

I was not even looking in his direction, I continue eating while he was still staring at me, and I glared Suhani, and she looked down, 

"Jhummi, this is the last time when I am forgiving this type of behaviour", said Neel and started eating, no matter how my brother is annoying, but he cares about me so much, 

"I love you, Neel",
