The Universe Conspired For Us To Meet 151 I Have A Way Out...

Ronnie spoke again, "Guess what baby, he was a student of your University. Seems like it's such a small world…"

Jayne grasped! "Oh really!" She was so overwhelmed that she didn't know how to react.

"Oh my goodness! Did we know each other Mr Virat Mishra?" Jayne excitedly asked him, her eyes sparkling like a kid.

That question was like a fatal blow to Virat. He began to doubt himself, 'Is she really my Maya? Is she really the girl who once loved him so much? No way! She's just a physical memory of my Maya and nothing else.'

With great difficulty he composed his emotions and replied to her, "No Mrs Jayne Roy. We don't know each other personally… But then, you were the face of our college… you were a wonderful dancer and singer. So, you were well-known to the entire college…"

Jayne slightly laughed and looked at her husband, "Baby, we guessed it right. I was actually a dancer back then.."

Ronnie lovingly patted his wife's head and nodded.

"You were also-" Virat began speaking but had to immediately stop when Jayne spoke up.

"Its enough information Mr Virat Mishra. Thank you so much… But I'm not interested to know about my past anymore. I thought I was an abandoned kid with a horrible past. But then, my parents came and proved me otherwise. Other than that, I don't really want to know how good or bad my earlier life was…" It was like as if Jayne took a cue from her husband's earlier conversation with Virat and answered for him.

Even Ronnie was stunned by Jayne's answers. But he patiently stood there calm and composed.

"But then don't you regret for not wanting to know about your past?" Virat slightly probed.

"Haha, do you think I dont have the means to know what I want to know Mr Virat Mishra?" Jayne let out a sarcastic laughter.

She continued, "But then, I simply choose not to… I don't want to trade in anything I've in the present for my past." Jayne looked at her husband while she said that.

Virat frowned. The love of his life was talking about another man she loves right in front of him. Could there be anything more heartbreaking than this?

Jayne looked at Virat and said, "I know what you are thinking.."

Virat slightly froze. 'Does she by any chance remember me? Or my love for her?'

Jayne slightly laughed, "That I'm sounding so selfish. Like I'm a gold digger girl behind Ron for his money and authority. But then, let me tell you..when we first met and he saved me or during our days in the forest, I'd no idea that Ronnie was such a wealthy or a powerful man."

"I would still love him the same even if he was merely a tribesman of that forest. In fact, to be very honest, those days were the best. I had him beside me round the clock. Unlike now, when we each have things to do.."

She then paused took Ronnie's hands and intertwined with hers and continued, "So, even if I were some princess, I do not want that life. With my husband by my side, I don't care to know about anything else." Jayne said with conviction.

Viral wondered, 'How on earth are they in sync? I've been with her from so long… but never once did we think alike.. but now, why is she justifying her husband? She wasn't even present there in the first place!' Virat felt like he was being slapped every single time Maya spoke. Ronnie's words had comparatively lesser impact than his Maya's.

By then the phone at the reception desk rang

Tring! Tring! Tring!

Ronnie picked up the phone.

"h.e.l.lo!"

"Ron! What's taking you both so long?  Why haven't you left yet?" Mrs Caroline Roy's worried voice sounded from the other end.

"Mom, we b.u.mped into a friend… we'll be coming back soon…" Ronnie answered.

"Okay then come back soon.. we'll be waiting.." Caroline Roy said and hung up.

Ronnie then looked at Virat, "Mr Virat Mishra,it's our pleasure to invite you to dinner. Please be our guest. We didn't even get an opportunity to thank you properly that day."

Even Jayne added, "Yes Mr Virat Mishra.. you saved me the other day. I don't even know how to thank you to repay your kindness…"

Virat looked at his Maya, "Don't worry… I have a way out...you can express your grat.i.tude by marrying me…"

Ronnie and Jayne froze!
