บท 152: Public display of affection

Virat let out a loud laughter, "Look at you guys! Hahaha! Just kidding! I already have a girlfriend.. In fact, I haven't even informed her. She'll worry about me for no reason. I better leave, she'll be waiting for me… You guys carry on..." Even Virat didn't know why he said that. But he had already had enough of their public display of affection. He couldn't stay there any more.

Ronnie and Jayne laughed together. "Sure! But you should be coming home with your girlfriend next time." Ronnie added.

Somehow even Ronnie felt relieved inwardly after hearing about Virat's girlfriend. After so much, he felt that Virat either knew of his wife's past love or it could also be that he himself could be her ex boyfriend.

Jayne and Ronnie then walked Virat out before they left…

After dinner, Ronnie and Jayne came back to their Seaview mansion. Ronnie had some work left. So, he was doing it in his study while Jayne kept him company.

"Baby… I don't know why this feels so strange.. but why haven't I got pregnant yet?" Jayne suddenly asked lost in thoughts.

Ronnie didn't know if he'd to laugh or cry at his wife's question. He motioned her to come and sit on his lap. She hugged him and wrapped his arms around her.

He lovingly patted his wife's head and began speaking, "So my dearest wife, is keen on having a baby?" He laughed.

Jayne pouted, "Ronnie!"

"Look at yourself… you're no more than a kid and in that case another little kid from here?" Ronnie playfully touched Jayne's tummy and laughed.

Jayne turned scarlet on hearing him. She couldn't face him directly. Hence, she buried her head in his chest.

"Wifey, it's hardly been a few days since we got married. Let's give it sometime and not rush through things… plus you're already busy with work and studies…" Ronnie told his wife gently like he was consoling a kid who was refused to be given his toffee.

Jayne looked at him, "That's not my point Ron… I'm in no hurry either… but we've never used any protective measures all this while. And for the number of times we've made out, I should technically be pregnant by now..That's what I'm worried about hubby…" Jayne clarified.

"Okay okay! I'll talk to Dr Thomas uncle about this for you. Is that okay?" Ronnie continued to rub Jayne's back.

Jayne replied with a 'Hmm.'

"You don't have to worry about this wifey! As it is said, 'Try, try and try till you reach your aim,' why don't we keep trying until we succeed?

Before Jayne had the chance to speak up or refuse, Ronnie already carried her on to their bed. Their passionate love making filled the air.

Virat was walking alone, aimlessly on the streets of London with his shoulders slouched. Each step he took felt very heavy. The sky had turned grey, which was a direct reflection of his current mood.

There was an unbearable grief pent-up in his heart from the day he saw his Maya. Especially his encounter with her this evening. He somehow ignored Ronnie's words. But, hearing the same words from his Maya wasn't something he had expected.

He couldn't take it anymore. He finally leaned against a wall next to him and slumped to the floor. Tears started streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably. 'I now realise how badly I failed to love you Maya. There is a stark difference between Ronnie's love and my love for you. And that difference is the reason I'm here brooding about your loss while your husband is showing you off giving you all the love and respect I failed to give..'

He buried his hands in his head not knowing what to do.
