His Burden

Chapter 10

"What the hell are you two up to now?" I ask stepping in

"Ahhhhhhh' they both scream like little girls

"What is going on?" I ask again

"He is angry" she whispers to him

"He looks mad" he replies

"I can hear you both, what the hell did you two do?"

"She is sick"

"He broke a vase"

They both say at the same time pointing fingers at each other

"You are sick?" I ask walking closer

"No, who say I am sick. I am great" she mumbles stepping away

"Nandini" I warn her

"Hey don't scold her" cabir says

"And you broke a vase" I ask

"Not today monster, I gotta go. I won't be back till tomorrow, it's a birthday party. Take care you two, love you both. Byeeee" he mumbles running out of the room with his keys and wallet

"Drive safe" I yell

"Will do, love you'

"Love you too"

The main door locks with a click and I turn back to nandini

"Mrs malhotra are you sick?" I ask

"No" she mumbles, her lips forming a small pout

"Nandini, darling what did you do?" I ask, my voice a bit softer than it was before

she steps closer to me, her hands hold my shirt stepping even closer

"It wasn't even my fault, I just had 2 tubs of ice cream and it was cabir who said he would share with me but he lied so I had already opened another tub and it would go bad. You know I don't like wasting food so I had to eat it and then cabir measured my temp and I am sick" she rambles on

"you don't need to have two tubs of ice cream"

"But it was already open manik" she whispers like it was the only right thing to do

"And may I know how much there was in the first tub?" I ask

I mean the tubs aren't too big but they aren't small either

"About a quarter of it, not much I promise" she says shaking her head

shaking my head I press my hand to her forehead to see how warm she actually was.

"It's not that bad sachiii" she says so cutely titling her head a little

"Thats for me to decide" I say

"But I am the one who is sick so I know it's not bad" she mumbled

"Come on, lets go get you some food and medicine"

"No big no, medicine no we don't need medicine" I shake my head at her words

"What did you want for dinner?" I ask as we walk back to our room

"I made dinner" she says

I turn a little and see her smiling cheekily almost a grin on her face

"You did?"

"Yes I made rajma chawal and raita for you" she giggles holding my shirt again

"Yeah? What for?"

"You forgot?" She asks chewing on her bottom lip

"Forgot what? Was there something important today?" I tease

"It's our 6 month anniversary" she whispers sadly looking down not making any eye contact

I smile hearing that she remembers it all

Tilting her chin up I kiss her forehead

"Happy 6 month anniversary baby" I whisper

"You forgot" she states pouting

"No I didn't forget, I remembered"

"You did?" She asks, her face lighting up

"I did, I even got you a little something but yogurt sick"

"No sick, give me" she says giggling

I grab the roses handing them to her

"Heheh happy 6 month anniversary mani" she giggles hugging me

"Happy anniversary wifey" I whisper again kissing the top of her head

"Hehe this is so pretty, I like them no I love them. Thank you" she says kissing my chin making me smile

"Sit down pretty one, let me grab a thermometer and see how much fever you have" I said

"No I wanna stay" she whines holding my shirt tighter

i wrap my arms around her waist, seeing that she places the roses on the side of the bed wrapping her arms around my back holding my shirt at the back

"I missed you manik" I smile, maybe even grin hearing that

"I missed you too nandini" I mumble

She hums as we both sway a little in our spot, I hear her yawning in my chest so I knew she didn't take a nap in the afternoon probably because she was too busy running aorund the house with cabir

"No" she whines when I try to pull back

"Dalring, I smell gross, ill quickly shower and then we can eat the yummy dinner you made for us"

"You do smell gross" she giggles making me chuckle

"Silly girl"

She pulls back but looks in my eyes a little too long so I knew she wanted me to kiss her head. I lean down and kiss her forehead and her cheek making her giggle

"Bye bye, I will get the table ready" she says waving at me
