The Universe Conspired For Us To Meet Chapter 20

"Hey what did I do?" Ronnie tried to hold back his laughter pretending like he didn't know anything at all .

Da Nuru, " . . . . "

"Brother you please take this lunch and go . You both are too much to handle . " Da Nuru declared .

Ronnie couldn't help but laugh more .

He took the lunch and went back to their house and called Jayne . "Jayne, I've got lunch . Go freshen up and come . We'll have lunch . "

Jayne who was lying on the bamboo cot turned away from Ronnie and said, "No I don't want to have lunch . You please eat . I'll sleep for a while . "

Ronnie realised that she's pissed off . "Oh so ma'am is angry on me . But why do you want to starve yourself for that darling?"

Jayne found it logical . She concluded," Exactly right . Why should I starve . I'll make you starve . Pass the plates to me and your not going to eat . "

"Jayne, my love, I'm sorry I won't do this again . Please forgive me . Let's have lunch together . I'm starving . " He looked at her with the same puppy eyes which was her weak spot .

Jayne didn't respond but got up from the cot and motioned him to come sit across her . She then took the plate from his hand and placed it in between them .

She took a bowl and took a spoon of soup . Since it was a little hot, she blew over the spoon and brought it in near Ronnie's mouth and ordered, "Drink . " Though her voice sounded authoritative, her actions carried a lot of warmth .

The corner of Ronnie's mouth curved into a smile . He opened his mouth and said, "Sorry wifey . "

Jayne too grinned back and they continued eating harmoniously .

In the evening, Ronnie and Jayne went to the medical practitioner's hut and thanked him . By now Jayne had almost stopped taking her medicines . She could now hold in till they went back to the city for further treatment . They spoke to everyone else of the hamlet and greeted every single person . By the time they returned it was already night .

Ronnie took his backpack and packed all his stuffs . He carefully checked for his wallet and other important documents like passport . He kept them handy since he'll need them from tomorrow after they enter the city .

While on the other hand, Jayne obviously didn't have anything to pack . The dress she had worn on the day of her fall was intact . So she decided to wear that while going tomorrow along with Ronnie's jacket .

They went to the altar area which was the place where they'd symbolically confessed their love for each other . The light from the lamp danced and leapt in the air like bidding a celebratory farewell to the lovebirds . Their eyes flickered with the flame . None spoke a word and they stood there silently holding each others hands . They remained like this for a long time basking in the warmth of the flames .

Later they walked from the altar area and came back to the room .

They slept in early for the last night of their stay here since they had to wake up early to leave the next day .
