"What noo. Brother you are not. I'll handle it, please don't come." Harry told her to wait for him, as he will come by morning. But she is definitely against that. She doesn't like to be in her brother's way. He is out for a business trip, she can't see him letting go because of her.
"How will you handle it?" He curiously asked, what he wants to know is what his sister has a relationship with his best friend.
"..." She chooses to stay silent.
"Are you okay living with him?" Harry patiently asked again.
She sighed "Not a Biggie." She can handle this matter this way, rather than that way.
Harry smiled at his side and didn't reply for a while before saying "Okay. Give him the phone and let me have some fun."
Serene passed her phone back to Soham. He got a little fearful by this call again.
"Hello?"
"Hmm... My phone disconnected earlier. Anyway she is going with you to your place, she can't be at our place because our society will judge her if they find out. Next thing, don't try to lay your hand on her with any filthy mind, otherwise i'll kill you. Last but not the least, take care of her properly." Harry warned him specifically. He was serious about these things. He would pull his leg but later right now his sister is more important.
"Yes definitely" Soham replied rigorously, like saluting someone.
Harry almost laughed by listening to his friend's stern voice like taking an oath or something. "So she's gonna stay for three days?"
"No..." Soham almost affirmed his question but stopped after thinking that he could convince her brother for something more. "It's Five"
"Five? Why did you tell me that the doctor only said three." Harry cautiously asked. He very well remembers that he earlier said that it's three.
Soham didn't panic but smirk. Knowing that her brother is possessive about his sister, he got his way to handle him. "Yes but the doctor gave five day dosage, and for that she needs to take care of herself properly while having food from time to time in those days. And you know very well how bad she is at this."
Harry knows that what he is saying is not a lie. But... "Yes yes but-" He was interrupted by Soham immediately.
"She hasn't eaten a single grain since morning. Doctor strictly said five day dosages are important and what she is doing to her body is very bad for health." Soham took the hold of her brother's possessiveness for her health as his weapon for his benefits.
Harry gasped on his receiver loudly with a troubled heart. "Oh my goodness. This girl really wants me to die with all her worries. You take her for five days, i'll inform her, give her the phone." He immediately said.
"Sure." Soham sniggered silently and passed Serene her phone.
***
"You wanna visit your home first?" Soham asked Serene while driving them back to his apartment.
"I'll buy new stuff, go to the nearest departmental store." Without turning towards him she said while looking out the window.
"Why are you sulking?" He noticed that since both of them have left the hospital they are talking very little comparison to earlier.
In short, she isn't talking to him.
She didn't reply to that instead ask him back "You tell my brother about the five day bed rest idea?"
She was already against three day rest but now thanks to someone it's 5!
"..." He did not respond with a guilty mind. Somehow he felt selfish but won't accept.
"Don't expect me to talk to you either." She said in a spoilt tone. Though she said that way but then she was flustered by her way of talking to him.
This morning the relationship between them wasn't anywhere near friendship, they were kind of somehow awkward too, but now... She is actually acting spoiled in front of him.
Her spine got straight by the thought of him getting angry because of that and she would be kicked out of his car any minute. She was about to amend her behaviour when he replied to her apologetically amusement.
