Crossed wires

Manya felt a difference in the embrace; she couldn't exactly explain what was wrong. The warmth was missing, but the voice she heard belonged to Ishaan and she was damn sure about it. But who else was she hugging just a while ago, and why did the hug feel awkward all of a sudden? She dismissed the feeling and murmured again, “I know, you are my best friend and I really love you for being there with me throughout. Ish, I feel nauseous, please help me find the washroom…”

“Yes, of course.” Ishaan let her go, got up and looked around the room but Dr.Maheshwari interrupted, “No, Manya you have to wait for a while, you can vomit in the bucket by the side of the couch. You shouldn’t get up at once and we are taking a break for some time until you feel better. We still have many things to discuss today, according to which we will plan our next session.”

“Okay doctor!” Ishaan was the one to answer.
