They went towards the checkin counter "How much?" Serene asked hurriedly when all their items were packed.
Cashier looked towards both of them. She blushed when she saw Soham again at her shop. "Four thousand bucks." She meekly said to him without minding the fact that the one who asked her was Serene not Soham.
Serene noticed the cashier blushing face for Soham. She didn't like it. But could she say it? No.
"Here" She moved her card forward.
"Here" Soham also put forward his card for payment at the same time.
Serene held his hand and stopped him. "I am paying."
He severely denied her too. "No you don't." Why would he let her pay when he is present.
She saw that this discussion is useless to start with and decided to go with the last step to handle him.
"You don't want me to stay?"
"..."
Serene smugly gave her card to the cashier. "Here"
"Thank you for coming. Please visit again."
"Sure."

Soham picked her up in his arms to take her to his apartment. He asked the caretaker of the building to transfer the rest of the stuff to his apartment. Serene now doesn't feel that uncomfortable, we are all carrying her stuff anymore.
"This is your place?" She asked, looking at him in his arms. They are already in his apartment with him hugging her while carrying her.
Soham looked straight to her and nodded "Yeah." The delightful feeling he is having now, having her in his arms, was something he couldn't express in words! He didn't want to let her go now.
Serene hugged his neck again and asked "Great. Where is the washroom by the way?" She held a lot today! First for food and now... At least let her do one thing...
Soham chuckled with her aggrieved voice. "Let me take you there one sec."
"Hmm"
He brought her to the right next of his room "This is your room, beside yours is mine. Come,"
After putting her medicine on the side table, he brought her to the washroom "Let me help you to sit."
Her eyes widened with embarrassment "Noo it's alright." She can do this much at least
Soham held her tighter when she tried to move away from him and sternly said "I bring you with me precisely to help you not just to wheel your chair."
He seated her on seat and went out of the washroom. "Call me when you are done."

"Do I have to actually stay in bed for the whole three days?" She pouted with disaffection towards her bed. The bed is all good but laying down all day.... she can't accept that! Even now she is still lying on the bed. God she hates it already!
"Uh huh!" Soham did sense the annoyance in her tone but that's what will happen, he won't lie.
Serene suddenly held Soham's hand to his surprise. She slowly pulled him to make him stand by her bedside "Senior you know that I respect you? And you are the best among all?"
He raised his eyebrows with scrunching his face 'Senior?' He thought while looking down at her like asking her to repeat then looked away immediately too.
"Hey!" She pulled his hand again, but with little more force so that he looked at her. But suddenly the dark shadow which was one second away from her was falling on her.
He did not know when, but he felt a sudden pull to his arm he couldn't control his stable position and directly fell on her on bed.
He got startled by her action but when he realised in what condition he was in he unconsciously looked at her lips. He suddenly felt the urge to get close to her lips a little more like they were when he fell on her staircase.
Serene gasped loudly. She didn't mean to pull him this hard. She got nervous after getting him so close abruptly. Without knowing, her eyes got stuck with him.
They both were in the same position as they were in the staircase incident. But this time Soham was careful even when he was falling. He supported himself on his elbow, to not hurt her even by accident.
His eyes fell on her eyes and got stuck with it. He couldn't help but fell more or more in it. His heart started beating very fastly. His breath hitched with her fragrance. He couldn't help but get closer to her neck.
