Mallika's pov 
I didn't go to my class next day and took some rest as my fever was back. Next day I took my medicine got ready had my breakfast and went to college. 
As I was going into the college I heard Rima di calling me.
"Kya hua di bula rahe the aap?"
"Tum hospital mei admit thi na parso?"
"Haa!! Pata nahi kon laya tha mujhe! I'm really thankful to them."
"Abb kaise ho?"
"Mai thik hu abhi bass ye bukhar bar bar wapas aaraha hai. Ab already 2din maine miss Kiya hai class ab aur miss nahi kar sakti iss liye wapas chali ayi!" 
"Wasse ek baat batau!" 
"Ha bolona di! Kya baat hai kuch hua hai kya?" 
"Sumedh sir bohot gusse mei hai!"
"Acha aur wo kyu"
"Sumedh sir tumse bohot gusse mei hai" 
"Mujhse par maine kya kiya?"
"Tum uss din Bina bataye chali gayi thi! Aur tumhe aya ha sumedh sir aur unki bahen laye the"
"Kya apne ye baat pahle kyu nahi batayi. Mai abb kya karungi! Oh no wo toh bohot gussa karenge aur agar mujhse kuch pucha toh mei kya kahungi!" 
"Acha abhi mei chalti hu! Mera class hai na 9se" 
Saying so mallika moves away while Rima looks at her and says in her mind "pata nahi kya hoga iske saath" 
Coming to the class she sits down and wait for her friend ishika. "Why isn't she coming? It's almost time!" 
And then after 10 mins their class got started. After my pathology class I went out of the class to the library because my friend ishika didn't attended the class ab uske bina class Khali Khali sa lagta hai toh!! 
When I was going through the corridor I noticed ishika in children ward so without wasting time I got inside and saw ishika was talking to a child and I hurry I forgot to see who was standing there with them. 
Sumedh sir!! Before any of us could say anything ishika comes forward and holds my hand and requests me to get some medicine from the medical store and gave me 500 rupees to get them. I took looked at her and then the child on the bed and lastly sumedh sir who was looking at me like he is gonna eat me up right now!! Bhago mallika...🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
I came to the B wing, the medical store is there and got the medicine required and I don't know why out of nowhere I started feeling tired, felt like dizziness may be my fever is gonna come back. As I was going back to the cabin I noticed a long line that was from the left corridor and upon asking to a passerby I got to know there is medicine store from where we could get medicine in more cheaper price. I went there and brought some med for me because I know my fever is gonna come back soon and went back to ishika. 
Okay many of you may ask why I didn't went to meet Sumit. Actually he happened to be released yesterday and that's the reason I couldn't see him. Maybe I meet him when he comes for his checkups! 
"Yele Ishu! Dawaii aur ye paise" 
Mallika blinks her eyes towards Ishu and says "bubu hai mera abb ase h toh bulati nahi naa usse!" 
"Thank you so much yaar mallika maine rudra ko bhi kaha tha but wo sale ne excuse deke baag gaya!"
Mallika's eyed her towards sumedh sir who was looking at them like they have grown 2 horns each. 
"Didi ko thik se baat bhi nahi karni aati! Said ayush ishika's one and only bhai. 
"Only one person can stay inside this room who is belonging to the patient" 
Mallika and ishika looks towards the voice and looking at sumedh mallika immediately gulps. 
"I'm sorry sir! I'll be going." Says mallika upon understanding that whatever he said was for her. 
Mallika turned to go but suddenly "Fairy ruk jao plz" 
"Mallika look towards ayush and then towards sumedh and comes to her cute little brother and ruffles his head and says "nahi bubu I need to go! I'm not your family right so I can't stay aur abhi didi hai naa. Don't worry mai bahar h hu. I promise mai kahi nahi jaungi ok!!" 
Ayush holds her hand and requests "plz fairy abhi toh aye ho...dekho abhi toh mai thik bhi nahi hu..aap plz mere pass ruk jao!"
"Leave the room! I don't have much time"
Mallika nods listening this and looks at her bubu and softly kisses his cheek 
"Aur ayaha" he said showing her his left cheek "wo mai jab wapas tumhare pass aungi tab! Okay abb my bubu is a very handsome guy right toh socho tum agar ase behave karoge toh ye doctor kya sochenge hmm!" 
"Thik hai fairy app bahar ruko mai abhi ayii apke pass kisse lene" 
Mallika and ishika chuckles also nods at him and went outside the room. 
Then sumedh told how to take care of him now as he has broken his hand and he went outside of the room. 
Mallika outside the room was sitting with her head on her hand and messaging it also her eyes was nowslowly turning into yellowish red and she was feeling dizzy and weak. After coming out of the room her fever was coming back so she had her med which she bought.
Sumedh saw her sitting and came to her "mallika" hearing his voice she immediately looked up and saw him standing infront of him. Though she was feeling sick still she greeted him with a smile and said "yes sir" 
Sumedh noticing her eyes he asked "what happened to you! Your eyes have started turning into yellowish red" mallika looked at him with a confused look and said "I just had my med sir and then after that i'm feeling very uneasy. Maybe my fever is back sir" "so whenever you're have fever your eyes turns yellow!" "No sir" 
"Mallika"
Sumedh and mallika looks at ishika who called her now.
"Kya hua mallika abhi toh thik thi ye achanak Teri aankhe ase peli kaise ho rahi hai aur tu kitna weak dekh rahi hai...tu theek hai naa!" 
Mallika nods and slowly kisses her bubu and says "see I kept my promise, I'll come to meet you soon ok! Abb didi aunty aur uncle ko zada tang maat karna hmm...aur apna dhyan rakhna time pe dawai le Lena ok!" 
Getting her kiss as promised from his fairy he smiled wholeheartedly bid bye to her and went back to his home. 
She then turned towards sumedh who was still standing there and by now mallika had started shaking and taking deep breath also her head was spinning. Noticing mallika's health sumedh touched her hand was shocked because she was burning with fever and fell unconscious in his arms. Sumedh immediately taps her face and calls her name but she didn't wake up not responded to any of his touch. Seeing her unconscious he immediately took her in his arms and went towards his cabin and laid her on the bed. He called Rima and asked her to assist him for mallika's treatment. 
"Matron jaldi se mallika ka bag check karke bataye medicine nikaliye!" 
"Jii" 
Till then sumedh started taking out his stethoscope 
"Sir ye hai medicine"
And handovers it to sumedh 
"What the hell" 
Kya hua doctor.
"This is an expiry date med and she ate this" he shouted looking at mallika.
"What sir! Why will she have expiry date med?"
"We need to treat her immediately. Take her blood sample and check what causes and allergy had occurred. I need those report within 20 mins"
"Ok sir!! I'll." 
Then Rima took her blood sample and ran to the diagnosis room. 
By now sumedh has started checking mallika. Breathing rate increased with breathing difficulty, eyes have fully turned yellow, body has started shaking more vigorously. He immediately made her wear oxygen mask.
"Mallika ne kaha iska med usne wing B ki left corridor se liya hai but uss side toh medicine store nahi hai! Right wing pe hai! Ye kaise possible hai"
Then mallika's report came and upon checking the expired med got reacted vigorusly and caused this. He took his pad from the side table and wrote 3 medicine. 
"Matron aap ye 3 dawai lado jaldi" 
"Jii sir" matron nods and went to bring the meds.
After he made her eat those meds and injecting mallika he turned towards Rima and said "Now she is stable you can go! I'll be there with her" 
Matron nods with a smile and moves out from his cabin.
