"Maine toh rakhe the" he said and again closed his eyes, is he kidding with me? Oh god inayat tum, do something, I went down stairs and directly entered inside kitchen and poured chilled water in big bowl and make soup quickly.

I entered inside in our room and saw him, oh noways, he is sweating badly now, I put tray on side table and sat beside him and dipped a piece of cloth in bowl fill with water, I placed cold strips on his forehead and he opened his eyes quickly and looked at me and smiled "care for me?" He asked I didn't said anything to him, I'm furious at him right now and I don't want to fight with him.

After few minutes, I told him to sat straight on bed and he did, I glance at him and looked other side, oh god he is still smiling like fool, I passed him bowl fill with soup but he didn't take it, I looked at him who was looking at me like always "have it" I ordered "my hands are paining alot please feed me with your hands" he said, after a minute I start feeding him, he was just looking at me, his gaze never made me uncomfortable.

"Moonlight?", "hmm?", "you know, you never touch me before like today" as he said this my hand stopped in my way, he is right, I never touched him in this 2 months.

I didn't answer him "agar aap aise hi mera khayal rakhti rahi toh mai khaas kabhi theek hi na hu" his words make me feel more frustrated "faltu baatein na krr varna maa ko bata dege hum" i warned him "aapko gussa aa raha hai?" He asked me as his soup finished "nahi" I answered him "bata dijiye aapko gussa aa raha hai jante hai hum" he said "nahi kaha na humne" , "arey bata dijiye, aa raha hai aapko gussa" , "bola na nahi, shanti se nahi beth sake aap?, kabse bole jaa rahe hai, samjhte kya hai khudko?" I yelled at him

Instead of shouting back at me, he pout like a puppy and said "aapka pati".

Fuck! He is looking freaking cute.

I thought he will shout back at me but here we are, oh god, what did I do to deserve a man like him? I don't even deserve him, I'm feeling weak.

I didn't answer him and get up from bed but before I could go anywhere atharva grab my hand, I turned toward him "don't go please, maan nahi lagta aapke bina", "kahi nahi jaa rahe, aa jayege vapis" I said "pakka?", "pakka"  I escaped from his hold and went downstairs.

I came back to room and saw him sitting in same position, I walked towards him and laid on bed, he too laid down beside me "kesa lag raha hai?" I asked him "aap sath hai toh kaise kuch ho sakta hai?" He said, I smiled at him and closed my eyes.

Next morning ~

"Where is Atharva, inayat?" Maa asked me as she saw me going upstairs, he is still in high fever, I called doctor to come and check him, he must be on his way, I told maa both his fever,maa came with me upstairs to glance at atharva.

"Atharva" maa shook atharva a little from his arm and he slowly opened his eyes and looked at maa and then at me and tried to get up, maa helped him, he must be feeling weakness.

"You should take care of your self" maa scold him "inayat is here for me, maa don't worry" Atharva said slowly while rubbing his eyes, maa smiled a little and then hide it after a second and taunt him again.

After a minute, I sat beside him and slide his juice and some fruits infront of him, he looked at me and then at plate "feed me, please" he said and lean back and stared at me, I started to feed him, I'm feeling nervous in front of maa but maa was smiling at us.

When I finished feeding him, he put his head on my lap and buried his head in my stomach, fuck! Elephants are jumping inside me "I'm feeling sleepy again" he said, I looked up at maa, she was grinning ear to ear "take care of him, inayat" she said with wide smile and take dirty utensils and went outside.

I looked down at him and placed my hand on his hairs and massage him slowly "stay with me, always please" he murmured "moonlight" he murmured again after a min.

Again,

Same question,

What did I do to deserve a man like him,  a man like atharva.
