Chapter 6: 6.Sick

Teach me love !Words: 6411

Her head is aching so bad and she has vomited  already twice, now her father is taking her to the hospital when medicines didn't show any effect.

Her body is aching terribly and just can't handle herself on her own. Her mother helps her to walk till the entry of the hospital but as she can't walk, her father picks her up.

The doctor prescribes blood test and when the reports came it was dengue !

"She has to be admitted in the hospital for some days to get well" Said the doctor and Amrita is sleeping not feeling any energy in her body.

Meanwhile the class is going on and Abhimanyu is teaching. Once he was done with the lecture he starts taking attendance "124"

"Present sir"

"125"

"Present"

"126"

.........

"126?" He looks up in the class and looks for Amrita.

"Absent sir!" Said the CR

Abhimanyu nods and marks her absent "127" he continues with the attendance.

____________

Amrita eats the khichdi which tastes nothing as her taste buds have died.

"How many days do I have to be here?" She asked the nurse who changed her drip.

"Atleast a week?"

"A week? The week has just started ! My classes will be missed" she said in a worry, thinking about the amount of syllabus that would be covered

Amrita's mother hold her hand "don't worry, give a medical application to your professors already"

She shook her head "Maa that's not the problem, studies getting missed is the real issue!!"

And probably no one in her class cares if she is well or not, She swirl the spoon in the khichdi.

"Ask the professors for the doubts and they will teach you" her mother suggested

"Maa this is college not school, in a week they can complete 2 chapters already, argh, this is all because of bloody mosquito" she fold her arms puffing her face after placing the bowl on the side table

"Aree betu, Ask one of your friends na"

Amrita bit her lips "umm they, um they don't study"

Her mother raise her eyebrows "mhm? But you said they are very studious?"

Amrita doesn't say anything and looks away from her mother.

Her mother got up and ran her hand over Amrita's head lovingly "When you will recover, drop a message on the class group for work, a good student would definitely help you and if not, talk to your professors once"

She nodded at her mother's suggestion. She then slept after taking medicine's.

After 2 days Amrita sends a pdf of medical leave application to her professors and her in availability to attend the classes until she is well.

Everyone told her to get well soon and even, Professor Abhimanyu, to whom sending the application personally was a very difficult task. After sending him the message, she peeked in her phone time to time with her heart thumping so fast.

Having a crush is risky for the heart, She thought.

And when his message came she felt butterflies. She opened it with sweaty hands and read it

"Take care Amrita and I will be covering.....these topics so you can ask me doubts if needed. So Take proper rest"

She read the message three times before sending an Okay Sir with 💫 emoji. And looked at his DP ! His shades on, arms folded while at his back there is whole mountain view. Why you have to create him so perfect?? She thought admiring his photo.

He chuckled looking at the emoji and then he pressed on her DP as he couldn't see specs on her face which made him curious. She is smiling while tucking a flower to her ear.

He smiled and pressed back but her DP changed, He frowned and pressed on her DP, now in this photo her eyes are closed and is sun kissed.

He again press back and again her DP changed. He Sigh tilting his face a little clicked on the DP again. He should probably not be doing this, looking at his students DP but this one, is of hers laughing wholeheartedly.

This DP is nice of all ! He thought pressing back, waiting for the dp to change this time as well but it didn't.

He placed the phone aside and took his laptop. Watching a documentary. Eating some rice which he prepared, then he got immersed in the documentary.

It's been 10 days since she hasn't been to college and now she is struggling to ask in the group what all has been taught.

Amrita, just give it a try, not everyone is bad in your class, there can be introverts like you.

She close her eyes and wrote a message on unofficial group

Amrita - Can anyone please let me know what all has been taught in the class from Last Monday ?

She wait for some response but everyone ignores it and a new topic has started that i.e if anyone wants to go for trip !! Oh she is feeling again like a fool.

She snorts a laugh and place her phone aside, gulping hard the pain she is feeling in her throat. Tears, without her will fell from her eyes and she bit her lips, looking out from her room's window.

Quickly wiping her tears, she fall asleep.

After 2 hours she woke up and saw 6 messages from some unknown number and No DP as well, Maybe the person hasn't saved her number. Frowning she opened it and saw 4 pdf of the 4 subjects she is learning.

B~ This is what has been taught in the class, Shilpa mam will take a test next in two days on.....topic and Abhimanyu Sir will be taking a presentation the next week that will be added in the internal marks. Also we have test in Sanjay sir's class but topic he will tell day after tomorrow as we have a break. (this is Baani)

Amrita smiled and felt happy, she was right about Baani, She is a sweetheart.

She saved her number and sent a message- Thank you so very much Baani, I really Needed to know what I have missed 🥺

Baani - Anytime ❤️

Amrita opened the pdf and saw Baani's neat and clean notes. She read them and took out the book making her own notes. She has missed a lot of thing's. God how will I cover all of this??

Taking the help of Youtube, she understands few topics but in depth understanding will come from reading only.

Gulping her medicines after dinner she again went to study till 2 am and slept with her books around her.

Guys, Abhimanyu will slooowwwlllyyyy start liking her, right now it's nothing ! It would get creepy and unrealistic because no professor fall for a student, in the back of their head they know the age gap and also the impossibility of having relationship with a student.

I want to make a logical and good Love story, where everything has its own time and pace, like this chapter he looked at her DP out of curiosity as she wasn't wearing spec's and then found her good in the third picture.
