I'm Your Healer

~Don't try to be frank with me~

Hello readers! This chapter would be long. And with a little dispute between the leads but don't worry just trust in process, their story would turn out great very soon. Enjoy your reading. ✨

The morning was bright and lively as Meera and Shivansh prepared to leave for their vacation. The car stood gleaming in the driveway, packed and ready for the journey ahead. Aditi, who had been eagerly looking forward to tagging along, now sat sulking on the living room couch, wrapped in a blanket. Her face was flushed, and she sniffled occasionally-a clear sign of the fever she had caught after indulging in ice cream the previous evening.

Unbeknownst to anyone else, Shivansh had slyly orchestrated this situation. Offering her ice cream late at night was no innocent gesture; he had calculated that it might make her sick enough to stay behind. Chhoti nautanki toh hamare saath chalne ki zidd kar rahi thi, he thought smugly, glancing briefly at Aditi as she sneezed. Ab dekho, bimar pad gayi!

Meera knelt beside Aditi, concern etched across her face. "Aditi! Tumhe toh itni excitement thi humare saath chalne ki, aur ab dekho kya haal ho gaya hai!" she said gently, tucking the blanket around her sister more securely.

Aditi sniffled and pouted. "Didi, mujhe bhi chalna tha! Yeh sab Shivansh jiju ki wajah se hua hai! Unhone mujhe ice cream khilayi thi!" she accused weakly.

Shivansh, overhearing her complaint, coughed lightly to cover his amusement. "Arre! Maine toh tumhari khushi ke liye khilayi thi. Kaun jaanta tha tumhare immune system itna weak hai?" he said with mock innocence.

Meera shot him a suspicious look but decided not to press further. She turned back to Aditi and stroked her hair soothingly. "Tum rest karo, okay? Hum jaldi wapas aa jayenge."

Just then, Meera's mother entered the room with a glass of warm water for Aditi. "Meera," she began in her usual tone of maternal advice, "Achhe se jaana aur apna dhyan rakhna. Khana time pe khana aur hume call karte rehna."

Shivansh's parents joined in with their own words of caution. "Drive safely beta," his father said firmly. "Aur agar koi problem ho toh hume turant inform karna."

Shivansh nodded respectfully while Meera absorbed their instructions quietly. She felt a mix of emotions-nervousness about the trip and guilt about leaving Aditi behind.

As they stepped outside toward the car, Meera glanced back at Aditi one last time. Her sister waved weakly from the couch but couldn't hide her disappointment at being left behind.

Once seated in the car, Shivansh adjusted the rearview mirror and caught Meera's gaze. She looked concerned and slightly distracted. "Relax karo," he said softly as he started the engine. "Aditi thik ho jayegi."

Meera nodded hesitantly but couldn't shake off the lingering worry in her heart-not just for Aditi but for everything happening so quickly in her life.

As they drove away, Shivansh smirked inwardly at his successful plan to keep Aditi from joining them. Ab thoda shanti se vacation enjoy karenge, he thought smugly before focusing on the road ahead.

The car sped along the highway, its tires humming softly against the asphalt as Shivansh and Meera embarked on their vacation. The morning sun bathed the road in golden light, but inside the car, the atmosphere was heavy with silence. Meera sat stiffly in the passenger seat, her gaze fixed on the window as she anxiously watched the scenery pass by. She hadn't said a word since they left home-not even attempting to make eye contact with Shivansh.

Shivansh glanced at her briefly, noticing her tense posture and distant expression. Ye ladki itni chupi kyun hai? he wondered. He could sense her discomfort, but he didn't want to push her too soon. Instead, he focused on driving, letting the silence linger for a while.
