43 Ism not that weak (1/2)

It's been 2 days . Alisha's fever has reduced but she is still weak. Zen finished his daily chores early enough to visit her in the evening . Neil tagged along with a wheelchair . She was reading a book and giggling all to herself .

”Nice to see you are enjoying yourself ”

”Ah Zen . When did you come ? ”

”Not long before I saw you smiling ”

”Haha... The book is just good that's all. Anyways you are early today did Neil help you with your work ”

”I'm afraid not My lady . His Majesty was faster than usual that's all ”

”I see. That doesn't surprise me anyways what's with the wheelchair ?”

” His Majesty seemed to have planned something for you tonight My lady ”

”Oh really ? What could it be ?”She looked amazed and shut her book shifting her bookmark a few pages ahead.

”A surprise . I'll have to take you out so a wheel chair”

”I'm not that weak . I can walk . ” She said with a sulking face and tried getting down but she couldn't even walk a step . Zen saved her from falling down and helped her sit on the wheelchair.

”Told you ! Why are you always so stubborn ? Jeez ”

”Ahhhh. . Come on .. I can't just sleep all day I'm not used to it .”

”I know that's the reason I decided to take you out . ” He said . Neil moved the wheel chair following Zen outside the palace. They entered the gardens . The night had fallen . The sky was clear , dark , black with numerous stars breaking it's monotony.  They sat on a bench before the River pool.  It was an open space . Alisha shivered as it was cold and her body was still feverish .
