46. Adal caught cold

"Aanaye struggle got Adal back to his senses.

Are you feeling cold too?" Aanaye asked Adal. "I mean, how you got to know that I am pale because of cold? As I couldn't guess either you are also pale like me or not."

Adal looked at girl's face." Where on Earth this girl lives? She asks silly questions and is such an immature girl. Adal thought all in his heart."

"Anyways, right now my priorities are keeping us both alive and safe from cold and storm."

The snow storm blew outside strongly. Adal just looked at the girl. For two hours they waited more in the cave. Atlast Aanaye got tired of continuous gaze of Adal and asked him,

"Why are you looking at me mysteriously? "

"I am looking at the spider behind you", he teased her to avoid her questions.

Aanaye just looked around to see any spider. But there was nothing.

She really is a silly girl." Adal murmured.

:Are you fine now? You got infaint because of cold and it scared me."

Adal replied, Ummm ".

"For how long do we have to stay here? We have to walk out now and see the situation."

Adal was not well. He caught cold. He was half fainted. Adal couldn't answer her properly.

Adal Kay? Mr Adal Kay? Aanaye asked him. "Are you not fine?"

Aanaye's heart started sinking, she felt helpless. She got nearer to him to check his condition.

Please gather your courage Adal Kay, It is tough here but together we can fight the situation. She tried to relax him with words."

Adal Kay? What shall I do now God? She just wrapped him with her scarf and kept his head on her shoulder. He was heavy and cold.

Adal asked for water, his throat was getting dried. Annaye looked around his bag pack and found a water bottle in it. She took it out and tried to make him drink water. The weather was much getting cold and they were left with very less woods. Aanaye was not aware of snow mountains much. She didn't know where to go and find more woods. Helplessly the girl was making Adal comfortable and warm so that he could get well. She didn't know anything and neither ever she travelled in cold areas to know how these people live.

Aanaye had to do something though she herself was not that much fine. But she kept Adal's head on bag pack near fire and tries to go out and find something like wood for fire.

She got out but the cold wind was hard to bear.

"I have to stay and find something to warm him up."

She encouraged herself.

Aanaye searched for a cave. She could hardly walk through the snow. She prayed to God for help. She looked through. Finally she found a whole in the mountain.

"Mountain you did really bad to me." She talked to the high mountains and complained them.

She got inside the cave and talked to herself,

"I hope no polar bear lives here."

She was scared of entering it but there was no one to help her. She has to do herself alone. She found few sticks and a big wood piece inside. She got happy but got sad on the other moment too.

The woods should be cut into pieces for fire and we donot have the axe. Aanaye tried to pick it up but to her dismay.

Now what I am gona do. Anyways she picked up the sticks. While she was moving aside to turn, her feet got tuck to three fish. She was shocked. Them this might be the polar bear home. I must pick the sticks and run, Aanaye thought to herself.

After gathering the sticks, she thought of an idea of picking up the fish for food.

"I am feeling hungry and I hope Adal Kay might also."

She thanked God for this help and with very difficulty, she moved out.

"I hope I remember the way." She realised that she was dumb in remembering ways.

"Okay no panics Aanaye, you could do. She bucked herself up."

She went out and walked. She tried to find her foot prints but the snow covered them back. She finally finds the cave.

She went inside and saw Adal was sitting.

"Where did you go? "He asked with weak voice.

" I went to find wood sticks for you.

You have caught cold and sticks are almost finished, replied Aanaye.

Where did you get them from?" asked Adal.

" It was polar bear's cave nearby, I found it from their and see I have also found 3 fish." She happily replied.

" I am hungry and I guess you were too. We donot have spices nor I know how to cook without them and how will it taste...but don't worry, I can try. Are you fine now?"

"Yes, a little better. I was sleepy." replied Adal.

Aanaye saw in the reality shows how on lost island people cook. So she hanged the two sticks with distance on both sides and kept one more on it. Her trial succeeded.

But the point was of hanging the fish now. She looked at Adal who was just looking the girl's act.

"Let me try it now",he said.

He got closer and took out hooks of his jacket and hung 2 fish at one go.

"Wow good."She acted as she use to appreciate her toddlers in the nursery.

They both looked at the fish being cooked and both were really hungry. The fish was cooked after thirty minutes. They ate them together and kept one for the rainy day.

"Thankyou Miss for your struggle and food," Adal presented his thankyou with gratitude.

Aanaye got shy with his this much gratitude and replied,

:You safed me and I hepled you. We both are eachother's need now."

Aanaye said to herself, " He is not that bad man."

But anyways this could be his trap. I should be carefull. I am not in my native land."

Aanaye was lost in her thoughts while looking at him.
