ASTHERIEN'S POV :-
His dad was already asleep, he was sitting there for over an hour, he should rest inside the room, why there?
Should I talk to him? He hasn't eaten anything yet.
There were some fruits in the table, I took an apple and went to him.
His eyes were still closed.
"Ahmm...want to eat?" I said giving him an apple.
He looked at me, I was still holding it. Why can't he just take it.
"I don't want it. You eat." He said and went back to his position.
Again being rude? Or maybe he's just disturbed.
I sat beside him, he looked at me again.
"What now?" He said in his husky voice.
"Nothing...but are you okay?" I asked.
His expressions changed, he was holding something inside.
Just let it out! You can't hold it forever!
"If you want to cry, you can." I said, looking at his expressions.
"Why would I cry?" He said, but his eyes were teary.
Is he embarassed to show his tears infront of me? Should I leave him alone? Yeah maybe I should!
I tried to stand up, but suddenly he hugged me. His head was buried in my shoulder, arms wrapped around my torso.
My hands were still away from him, slowly they moved and I don't know when I was hugging him too.
I could feel his wet eyes. I tried to understand his pain, but maybe it was too deep to feel.
The hug slowly loosened, his eyes were wet, I wanted to wipe his tears off his cheeks, but maybe I can't, we aren't that close.
But comforting someone doesn't see the stage of relationship. I couldn't resist and wipped his tears.
[ In the morning ]
I woke up in my bed. How? As I remember, I was at the hospital as a patient attendent with him.
But how did I end up here? I took my phone and called him.
📳[ Calling Kai-asshole ]
Kai-asshole - Hello?
Ash❣️- where are you?
Kai-asshole - why? Are you worried?
Ash❣️- shut up! Why am I at home?
Kai-asshole - oh, so that's why you called... You were too uncomfortable here last night and home was not far away from the hospital, dad was fine too, so...
Ash❣️- oh..and you? Weren't you cold, because of the air conditioner?
Kai-asshole - yeah the Air condition was too cold, so I was cold but I managed, it's for my dad anyways.
Ash❣️- when will you be at home then?
Kai-asshole - after sometime, dad will be shifting to ICU ward, then I'll be coming home.
Ash❣️- oh..k..now I'll hang up then.
Kai-asshole - ye..ah.
I hung up the call, why did I even ask him if he was comfortable or not? Anyways, he'll be hungry, he didn't even ate last night, should I make breakfast for him?
Maybe it's the time to show my cooking skills, it's been years since I went in kitchen and made something to eatable by myself.
I went in and started to cut the veggies.
This fucking onion, this is the first thing that made me cry this much!
I'll never cook again, only this time!
After making the kitchen a total disaster, food was ready, I made grilled mushrooms with fried onion.
Mushrooms seem a little burnt but that's fine, I'm perfect, this must be perfect too!
Well, let's clean the mess later, first let's serve the food.
In between this, he came.
"What are you doing?" He asked trying peek inside.
"Nothing, just making breakfast!" I said, bringing his plate towards him.
"You? You made the breakfast?" He asked with surprised expressions.
"Yeah! I can make it!" I said and sat on the table to eat.
I was waiting for him to eat, so that I can confirm if this is eatable or not!
He took his first bite, he seemed fine. Now I can eat this.
I was about to eat, then he snatched it from me.
"You can't eat this!" He said.
I'm definitely sure this isn't good.
"Why?" I asked.
"No you just can't! I'll eat it!" He said.
I was trying to take back the plate, I did realise when I was too close to him that we didn't even have a inch distance between us.
The surrounding turned silent, but the butterflies inside me are screaming! Not because of him, but apart from act, I'm experiencing this in my real life!
I instantly moved back, and again sat on my place.
"Why can't you just let me taste it?" I asked.
"You order something else for yourself, I like this alot! I'll eat it all." He said.
How hard he's trying, but I know, the food is far worst than he's pretending.
Anyways, I'll just order.
After 10 minutes, food was here, I ordered some spicy noodles for myself, and Ramen for him. He can't just eat the breakfast I made. He was tired, so I ordered for him too.
Why Am i being like this nowadays? This isn't me, from when I started caring about him? But as a good human being, helping someone is a great thing so, I'm just doing simple duties.
After eating I went in my room, my head was aching too much, I was feeling unwell today, but today I had a fanmeet, what should I do?
I can't just cancel it, especially today! I'll have to go.
I took my essentials, got changed and went to the location, i was feeling like, id just faint right away, but still I managed till then.
After arriving the location, my makeup was done, now it was the time to meet the fans.
I went out, in the main hall, the crowd made a loud commotion, I just feel like, these people really love me!
With me, there were my co-actors too.
Fans asked some questions they were waiting for us to answer.
Many questions were asked related to our ongoing show, 'The Highschool'.
I was just pretending to be fine, but inside I just want to rest. I need my bed! My pillow! My home!
After that, according to the script, we needed to go in the crowd, ofcourse with security, to give them autographes, shaking hands, reciving their gifts, and all.
