Fated

32.

                                                                         CHRISTIAN POV

It was day which Jane needed, she needed to relax and pamper herself. So I decided to took her to spa. The body massage was so helpful. All muscles of the body are relax. No stress or tense.

"Did you enjoyed it?" I ask her, after we came out.

"It was relaxing." She says smiling a little. "Thanks for arranging it." 

"It's my duty to pamper my wife." I say to her. She look away with a smile. I know it sound cheesy and clingy. But if it can bring smile on her face. It doesn't matter anymore. She really needs to get over it.

"I really like the smell of those candles." She says. The scented candles were very aromatic.

"Did you like them?" I ask. She nods her head in yes. 

"Let's buy some for our room." I declare.

"Really?" She asks. Her eyes shines with excitement. 

"Yay." I snort a laugh, "Anything you want." I say and pat the top of her head.

"Thank you." She says.

"Let's go. We've another plans for today." I say and go towards our next destination. Benchakitti Park of Bangkok.

"It's so nice here." Jane exclaims. 

"You like nature. So this place is the best." Christian says. "Let's ride cycle."

We rent the cycle. Cycling around the park. In middle we start a competition. We gave a tough competition to each other. After cycling, we stroll around the park, hand in hand, watching sunset along the lake. Creating a nice scenario. We clicked some pictures. Solo as well as couple. 

This trip was useful one for us both. We behaved like a couple. Did things what a couple would do. I got to bond better with Jane. Last night, when she woke up from her nightmare and asked those things. I was taken a back. Why does she thinks she's a burden for us? Why does she think no one wants her? I think she has fear of being left behind. She must feel insecure. 

Today morning, when I was out to bring breakfast. I send the picture of the medicine bottle which I took to Lucas. I want to know what type of medicine is Jane taking? 

Lucas messaged me back around noon, 'Who is taking this medicine?'

Me: Jane.

Lucas: Does she have doctor's prescription?

Me: ???

Lucas: Do you what medicine it is?

Me: I don't know. That's what I'm asking you.

Lucas: Antidepressant.

Me: Antidepressant? Why is she taking them?

Lucas: How would I know? 

Lucas: Ask her.

Me: Thanks.

Antidepressant? Is Jane suffering from depression? That's why she feels so insecure. That's why she got panicked and had a breakdown. It must have been hard for her to go through this. But not anymore, not when I am here. I'll make sure she don't suffer or go through pain like she did. I'll make sure she's happy and healthy. It's responsibility and duty as her friend, her boss and as her husband.

"Christian." Jane voice pulls me out of my thoughts. 

"Yes." I says.

"Look at this flower. It's so beautiful." She says while pointing at the flower. 

"It is." I compliment.

As the sun set, the night lights shines everywhere on the road. Illuminating. We came back to hotel. Their was loud voices coming from the pool. I ask the receptionist about it. She informed that the hotel has arranged a foam party. The guests of the hotel were already having great time.

"Did you ever tried party like this?" I ask Jane.

"No. I didn't." She reply. 

"Let's go." I say and take her to the pool side. Jane look at the pool covered with foam. She scrunch her face cutely. She was curious. "What?" I ask.

"It's weird but interesting." She says. "It's my first time to something like this."

"Enjoy it. Don't be shy." I tell her. "Have fun. I'm right here." 

The foam machines turns on and start to make foam. Bubbles going up in the air. Foam starts to fill up the pool side.

"Do we have just stand and let the foam attack us?" She ask.

"Kind of." I say. I take her hand and let her towards the foam. I take foam in my hand and apply on her face. "Just like this. The way we play with water." I say and continue to apply foam on her face and hair. She smiles brightly and does same to me. We played just like the way we played on the beach. We just played like kids. After playing and enjoying ourselves to the fullest. We decide to head back to our room before that we shower. 

We were waiting for the elevator. "Did you've fun?" I ask Jane. She looks at me, nods her head and gives the brightest smile I've ever seen. As the elevator door opens. I get shock seeing a familiar face laughing right in front of me in the embrace of other guy. Emma's gaze falls on me. Seeing me she gets shock. Her laugh stops mid way. Following her, the guy looks at me. He too get shocked. I heard Jane grasp. The girl who dumped me on our wedding day is standing right in front of me with other guy. Laughing with him. 

I've seen her true face. Seeing her like this, it help me to get over her. It's the final step. In a way, it was nice that I didn't got married to Emma. Though marrying Jane was irrational decision but it was a happy and best one. 

"Christian." Emma says as if she saw a ghost.

I swift my gaze from her to my wife, Jane, "Wifey, let's take other elevator." I say and take Jane's hand in my hand. I intertwine our fingers. Seeing this Emma's face goes ugly.

"Christian. Let me explain." Before Emma could continue to speak the elevator door closes. It goes up.

We take other elevator and reach our floor. Jane keeps looking at me. I know that 'is he okay?' look.

"Christian, are you okay?" Jane ask when we enter room. I turn to look at her. Concern painted on her face. I was about to say something rude, seeing her concern, I didn't. 

"I'm okay." I say and went to bathroom. I went remove my clothes and stand under the shower. I turn the tap of shower on, water starts to stream down. It felt nice.

The door of the bathroom opens, Jane enters. I look at her, "What the hell Jane! How can you enter like this?" I ask, wrap towel around the waist.
