"Mom?" Nivritti said on the phone.
"Are you alright?" Sheela asked urgently.
"How? How do you do this? I have not been sick even for an hour and you knew something was wrong?" asked Nivritti shocked.
"Sick? What happened?" asked Sheela.
"Nothing! Mild fever and cold. I have a running nose," said Nivritti.
"Did you take medicine?"
"Yes, mom. I did. Don't worry I will be fine," said Nivritti.
"Oh, don't try to be strong for me. I know what happens when you get cold. How is your headache?" asked Sheela.
"Like someone is hitting a loud drum near my ears," said Nivritti.
"Put some oil in your hair. That will soothe the pain and drink some hot soup," suggested Sheela.
"Don't want to eat now, mom. Just want to sleep," groaned Nivritti.
"Fine! Sleep, rest. But when you wake up drink something hot and keep yourself covered. I have seen in the news, Korea is too cold now. And take a leave from office. Rest!" said Sheela.
