Chapitre 69: Chapter 68

Shreya walked into the hospital room armed with food. But she was surprised to see Adam actually awake. At least his eyes were open but were actually staring at the ceiling with a blank expression. There was only Zack in the room so Adam actually had the bed for himself once but he was still awake. Shreya looked at Zack puzzled and asked, "What's up with him??"

Zack put away the newspaper he was reading and looked around to see what she was talking about. When he saw Shreya looking puzzled at Adam, he just said dismissingly, "Leave him alone. He had been like that all night. He is just reflecting on his tardiness."

If Shreya was puzzled before, she was downright confused now. But seeing as Zack has gone back to reading his newspaper, she went straight to the source of her confusion. She went and shook on Adam's shoulders and asked concerned and confused, "Hey buddy, you okay there??"

Adam came out of whatever cloud he was lost in and looked around, at last, giving some attention to his surroundings.

"Oh, hey Shreya… What are you doing here??" Shreya had been busy the whole week. With Adam's accident, she insisted on personally overlooking the investigation he was conducting. And on top of it, Akash and Pritham had been taking turns to look after Adam the whole time. And since Shreya would rather be covering their works in their place than stuck in hospital that always smelt like disinfectant, she stayed behind covering for their works.

She took a break only because it was the weekend and since Charan was also busy with his family this week, she came to check up on Adam. She wanted to make sure if the idiots at least fed him right even though she couldn't say she was confident about it.

"Checking up whether they fed you or you had already passed out in some corner out of starvation!!" Shreya said shrugging. She then sat on the bed beside Adam facing him.

Adam rolled his eyes, "Those idiots?? Feeding me?? I have been the one feed them!!" He said sarcastically.

"Today I am feeding you. SO get up now. Go freshen up and come." Shreya said shooing him to the washroom and simultaneously opening all the boxes. Zack immediately crowed behind her and started serving himself before Adam could come but Shreya did not complain since she brought food enough to feed a small army thinking Akash and Pritham will be here. But since they were not, she is actually going to have some leftovers.

As soon as the smell of food hit his nostrils, Adam's stomach growled loudly. So he hurriedly appeased it by gobbling the sandwiches Shreya had bought. But because of all the rushing, two bites in, he hiccuped. Shreya just rolled her eyes and passed him a water bottle and said, "Nobody is here to steal your food today. SO eat slowly."

But as soon as the words left her mouth, the hospital room door was opened and in came Akash and Pritham bickering.

"Talk about irony!!" Zack commented and stealthily hid his own plate with the food away from their reach.

Adam did the same while Shreya let out a giggle. But Adam was not so worried because he knew with Shreya around nobody will be able to take his food away from him.

Once their bickering was done, Pritham's and Akash's eyes zeroed in on the food first. They did not even notice Shreya. They both wordlessly pushed each other away and made a beeline towards Shreya wrestling.

Shreya simply got up from her place and stood in front of the bed with her hands folded with the food covered behind her. Her eyes were serious and stern.

Both idiots were not expecting Shreya to stand like that. SO they almost ran into her but they screeched to a stop just a few inches in front of her. Because of stopping so suddenly, Pritham stumbled against Akash making him almost lost balance but somehow they both managed to steady themselves and stand straight in front of Shreya with a cheekily awkward smile playing on their lips.

"Hey, Shreya…"

"Hi, Shreya…" Pritham said followed by Akash.

Shreya gave them a look as if they were cartoons. And to an extent, they did look like cartoons scratching the back of their head and simultaneously stealing glances at food. Adam was purposely teasing them by showing off the sandwich he was eating right that moment while also dramatically moaning in order to express how good they were. He just snickered when they gave him a dirty look.

But both Akash and Pritham stood there nailed to the place because of Shreya. And as you all know, nobody messes with Shreya.

Zack let out a chuckle seeing all this. This was top notch entertainment for him. Looking at the miserable faces both idiots were making, one would think they were starved for days or something. But Shreya guarded Adam like a mother hen protecting his kid. So they had no chance even if the played the puppy dog face.

Adam, on the other hand, was giddy with joy. He thought it served them just right for making him sleep on the couch for the whole time he was in the hospital.

Shreya, at last, moved back when Adam had had his fill. Once again both of them wrestled their way and gobbled away all the rest of the food in two minutes straight. They ate as if they were breathing air or something.

Shreya gave them an astonishing look.

"If someone sees you guys, they are going to think I am starving you guys or something!!" She said in disbelief.

Once they were done with the food, their attention shifted to Adam at last.

"You traitor, you ate without us. That too in front of use. And that too without giving me!!" Pritham exclaimed over dramatically at Adam for which he just stuck his tongue out.

"As if I would wait for you. Both idiots have been sleeping in my bed for a week now… and did you forget how every time I made someone bring me food, you two always ended up eating most of it??" Adam said rolling his eyes.

They fought like this for a whole lot of time. By the end of it, Shreya was seriously considering dumping all the three of them in a mental institution somewhere while Zack brought himself a bag of popcorn from the canteen and enjoyed the show. For him, it was more comical than any comedy he had ever seen.
