Moksh's P.O.V~
I remember her eyes on me. Her strength is still visible on my neck and her eyes have abruptly altered on me. Her unbothered face has turned into troubled.
She shuns even looking at me, and I've been stressing my distance from her as well. She was right. Why am I intruding in her life?
I can't identify answers to my own questions!
I rock my thoughts off as I clean the kitchen counter. Aunty had to leave for a few days because of her house in her village.
She informed me about the person who's ready to buy her house. Since she's alone, Kira persuaded her to live here.
It's already so late and she hasn't arrived yet. Like always. Why is she so busy nowadays? Whatever, I'm going to sleep!
She'll have to seek other servants for the food since she doesn't prefer to see me. Like I do? Aghh, whatever!
I woke up to my alarm buzzing. I expected she'll show up knocking on my door, but she didn't and I fell asleep, waiting.
Since when did she eat alone? The last time I checked, she hated eating alone! Did she call another servant to serve her?
I have to stop overthinking! I promptly took a shower and went downstairs for breakfast. But when I arrive, everyone is bickering about something, gathered in the kitchen.
"What happened?" I inquire as everyone looks terrified. No one is ready to talk. They all realize the situation between me and Kira, so they all ignore me. They think I'll grow into trouble for them.
I try to knock the answers out of any one of them, as the female steps forward. "Ms. Kira! She's sick, and no one here is ready to stride inside her room. She doesn't prefer to be troubled when she's sick."
"Often, Aunty takes care of her, but she isn't here, so we don't know what to do!" She looks terrified.
"But Kira needs to take the medication!" I freak out after her reasoning and more after learning, that she has eaten nothing from the night!
"I'll go!" I promote myself, as no one is ready to walk into the lioness's lair.
I expect her to slam my head and curse at me the moment I step in, but --- nothing like this happens when I stride in.
She's weak, and unstable, as her body can't gather the strength to even sit up. I worriedly approach and analyze her temperature as she twists on the bed, uncomfortably.
Her body's burning and sweating as she grumbles in agony. "Are you okay?" I plead.
Kira's P.O.V~
I can barely move and talk, but I hear him ask if I'm fine or not. He looks worried, or is he not? I can't tell.
Swiftly a soaked cloth is placed on my forehead which feels comforting, and the rest is blacked out soon after.
"Get up. Slowly, You need to eat!" He carefully helps me to sit and feeds me like I'm a baby.
His face is presenting nothing but care and concern for me. It's been a great time since I've seen someone with this sentiment for me.
Just like this, with his care and affection, a day passes and I'm eventually feeling new again.
He rejects any conversation with me. Maybe I intimidated him way too much.
"Can we talk?" I promptly assert as I'm resting on the bed. He was about to leave, and re-fill the water for the wet sponge but ceased, after hearing me.
He is fidgeting with his judgment, I can tell just by looking at his gullible face.
"I'm not going to get angry, I promise!" Swiftly, the surrounding aura changed again. What the hell is happening between us?
He sits back on the chair, placed beside my bed. He took care of me, sitting on that same chair. He even slept there! I can't believe this guy!
"Thanks!" I proclaim and it was sufficient to seize his swaying eyes, but it wasn't adequate to make him talk.
"I know, I was harsh! But--- I want to know." I drain no time, urging him precisely as he adds, "what are you talking about?"
"I will not get angry, I promised! - After all, you stepped inside a lioness lair!" He quivers as if I've caught him red-handed, doing something wrong, which drives me to giggle at his poking eyes.
