"So, my husband… . ?"
Jayne paused to see his reaction .
Ronnie froze on hearing her .
"Hu-hu-husband? I'm sorry Jayne . I-"
"Ronnie why are you being sorry?" Ronnie was left hanging midway between his sentence by Jayne .
Before anybody began talking, their eyes blinked in mutual agreement, much before their fervent attempts to negotiate the inevitable with the ever insufficient, desperate words . Their eyes spoke the unspoken words .
Both of their hearts were racing heavily .
She continued, "Ronnie I don't know how far this is fitting . But I-" She couldn't finish her sentence .
Ronnie now took her hand and intertwined with her . He walked them towards the bamboo cot and made her sit on it . Then he kneeled on the ground beside her still holding her hands in his .
He looked into her eyes and said, "Jayne I don't even know what brought me to you . I believe the universe did it's magic in bringing you to me . But that was the biggest risk I took . I still feel guilty for handing you over to the medical practitioner . Even if a small thing went wrong, I would've lost my only love . "
He shuddered .
Jayne tightened her grip around his hands and said, "Ronnie please stop it will you? How many times do you want to tell the same thing? I've told you already . I thank my stars for bringing you to me in spite of such a big disaster . You could've even died while saving me Ronnie . " Jayne's eyes started welling up with tears now .
Ronnie reached out his hands to her gentle cheeks and wiped her tears and said . " Promise me this is the last ever time I'll see you cry? In turn I'll promise to be the most loyal husband at your service twenty four hours, seven days a week"
Jayne started grinning now wiping her tears and said, "You better keep up your promise alright?"
"I officially accept the job of Jayne's husband . " Ronnie said grinning while stretching his hand out .
Jayne replied, "Dear husband, I know it'll be hard for us . But give ourselves six months time? I wish I could marry you with my memory back . But . . . " she trailed off .
"Jayne, Jayne my Jenny . Please don't stress yourself too much . You very well know you haven't recovered yet . Once we get back from here, the first thing we'll be doing is get you treated . Look for all possible treatment options to get back your memory . On the sidelines, we'll start searching information about you . Is this plan okay with you? Is that convincing enough my princess?" Ronnie replied .
Her eyes sparkled in the dimly lit room with the leftover tear drops making them even more attractive . Ronnie was lost in them .
Jayne said,"The only way I can repay you is by being your wife . " She again had tears in her eyes .
"No Jenny . I want you to love me . With all your heart . I fell in love with you the moment I saw you . Even though you were unconscious at that time . An unknown pain spread through my body to see you like this . That is when I decided you are my woman and I'll save you even if the entire world is against us . But you don't have to necessarily love me as an obligation . The six months time we've taken is reasonable . So let's work on this as well . If it doesn't, you are free to decide the next course of your life . And then too, I'll support you no matter what . " Ronnie said with sincerity written all over his face .
