Chapter 20 - Are You Alright!

 When Jeevan fell, at first almost everyone laughed, thinking he would get up but as he didn't the class went quiet. Mr. Arjun rushed towards the boy, glanced at his pale face and started stroking his head. Then he turned to Moksh and said "Go rush to the clinic." Then he turned towards Kushagar and continued "Tell the coordinator about it." The whole class got worried, even the bullies, they never intended to see Jeevan like that and were blaming themselves. Some students had their fingers crossed and some were praying for him. Mr. Arjun was worried about him too. He touched Jeevan's forehead and found his temperature high. No doubt he had a very high fever. Though he regained his consciousness even before the help could arrive, everyone around him was dissatisfied. The doctor looked at the boy and concluded he fainted due to weakness. Jaivik and Janhavi were informed along with Sanjay, Gopal, their uncle and aunt. As soon as they got to know, they all just rushed to him. He was sent home and was asked all sort of questions - "Are you alright? What happened? Do you feel anything wrong? Is their any pain in your head?"

 "I am alright." Then he looked around and asked Sanjay and Gopal "Are we heading towards your home?"

 "Yeah, and you will be staying there for the rest of the day."

 "Oh!"

 "Now rest up."

 "Hhhmmm."

 "Also, you have to go the hospital for a checkup."

 "Checkup!"

 "Yeah, we want to make sure that you're allright and there is no serious issue."

 "That makes sense!" Jeevan said this regretting his deed of not informing Janhavi and Jaivik about his fever.

 "Rest up and stop talking!" scolded his aunt.

 "Sor__" he could not finish his sentence and stopped in between as both her aunt and motherly Janhavi were staring him.

 He quietly closed his eyes knowing, words in the current moment would bring insolent only. Like it is said sometimes silence is the best medicine. As

he tried to sleep he kept on thinking how he was being a burden, and what his sickness put on the rest of family at the time he felt despair and believed that he was troubling them. His head ached really bad but he didn't even spoke a word about it. Perhaps he was either childish or too mature. Whatever may be the case he was pushing himself quite hard. He was taken to the hospital where some tests were taken and the reports clearly stated that he was fine but had a little weakness.

 Everyone took great care of him and they left the very next day. That morning Jeevan's fever wasn't too high but till the evening it became high. At night after having the medicine he lied down in bed. It was about 9 o'clock. He was lying beside Janhavi and Jaivik. Although lights were off the three were awake and were unaware that the other two were not asleep as well. They were busy wondering about questions related to their lives.

 All of a sudden the portal appeared. But this time it was different! It wasn't one there were three! The three tried to escape but the force was too much to handle and as usual they failed to do so. Each one got pulled into one of them. They were completely surprised would they reach the same place or would it be different?
