Chapter 8
"Hey, what's wrong ?" he whispers behind her ears as he rubs the back of his hand against her soft cheeks ..."hmmm, just wondering" she said in a low voice turning away from him..."So when you woke up this morning to say your prayers did you wake up a satisfied man?" her words were painful to him...what he had done flashed in his mind...suddenly he pushes her away and gets out of bed ...looks deep into her eyes says, "yes, I did wake up a happy satisfied man but filled with guilt and regret, along with shame..." He walks over to the window ... could not get her out of his mind, could not stop drooling over her ...but the guilt of what he did to her was eating him alive. sees Jo getting out of bed... gets a quick glimpse of her curves ... feels his desire begin to stir as she walks towards him ... He feels her soft warm hands touch his shoulders "Jalal, we need to talk" she whispers leaning against his back, laying her head on his shoulder..."don't touch me Jo, I cannot think straight and I find it hard to control myself when you are close to me" he flinches and looks at her briefly "Jalal, please can we just talk " he lowers his blazing gaze and nods..."don't feel guilty...my body wanted your touch too... I am ok with you touching me...I am your wife... I don't want you to hate me" Jalal stood silently looking deep into her eyes ..."why are you doing this to me Jo?" he sighs as turns him around he feels her warm arms wrap around his waist, holding on to him, hugging him tightly, rests her head against his chest...closes her eyes and whispers "being close to you comforts me, I feel safe, I feel peace" she looks up into his eyes and smiles ... her smile, soft and kind...he hugs her tighter against his chest .. kisses her forehead saying..."I am amazed at how forgiving you are towards me...I know my words and actions have hurt you...but you are so understanding and accepting" he said sincerely, then places his fingers under her chins and lifts it up, looks into her eyes and in a quiet voice asks "do you regret losing your virginity to me?" Jodha was not expecting this question... She shakes her head sideways and asks "do you regret marrying me?" "Never, not for a single moment" was his instant reply and he continued to question Jo "why would you not regret it ... you saved it for love and I took it carelessly...it is beyond my understanding ... how just last night you were asking for more time " folding his arms against his chest, gives her a questioning look ..."I'm listening" he smirks, staring at her. Jo's eyes slowly moved up to meet his... there was an awkward silence ..."uh...uh.. I ...I ..." she blushes. .. her soft voice quivers she spoke quietly ..."I dreamed it would be with someone I love, I always dreamed it to be with my husband on my wedding night..." Jalal slumps back on the bed ... shoulder hunched ...buries his head between his hands ...looking all miserable, says ...".I'm sorry I snatched your dream away, you had told me you had live in relations before we got married and it was too late when I realized you were a virgin... I could not hold myself...I took away from you a gift you can give only once" Jo walks over to him, moves his hands away from his head, sits on his lap, wraps her arms around his neck and whispers into his ears ..." my dreams were partially fulfilled, I believe in my heart that my dream will come true...I will fall in love with my husband, I like him a lot already ... ..." that very moment, she feels Jalal's hands gripping her waist moving her away from his lap onto her back on the bed, brings his body on top of hers and presses his lips against hers, then " Jodha" he begins to whisper into her ears ... "Jalal can I ask you a very personal question...I want an honest answer." He pulls away, stiffens a bit and says "sure why not, go ahead, ask me anything you want" Jodha sits up in bed, puts her arms on his shoulders cages his face and says "look into my eyes" he gazes into her eyes...he see fiery passion in her eyes " how many times were you with a girl for her first time??" Jalal was so surprised with her question ... His eyes widened with realization of Jo's openness.. without blinking, he looks into her eyes and says "only once, that too with my wife ...you are the only one for whom I was first and you will be my last" his hands tighten around her waist and continues "I never thought or dreamed about it but when I saw you and kissed you that night ...I knew I was ruined for any other women" he smiles, "I fought my feelings for you, I did not want to loose you" he closes his eyes and rests his forehead against hers "let's start all over again Jo, I want to date you when you go back to college..." Hmmm she thinks ...
Suddenly she taps her forehead, says "oh I completely forgot, I got you a wedding gift too I want to give you something that will remind you of me" she smilingly winks at him and jumps off the bed and walks to the dresser, picks up a box neatly gift wrapped and hands it over to Jalal, he takes it and reads the note card "Coming together in hope and joined together by promise, will always be your wife Jo" Jodha stood next to him with her hand on her hips watching him as he opened the box..."your words are beautiful, just like you, I like it a lot" he opens the tiny box and finds a nice platinum men's pendent necklace and ring set, the pendent was a bold "JODHA". He chuckles and says I don't wear jewelry. Jo takes the chain and puts it around his neck saying "well I wear the Mangalsutra, ring and sindoor every day for you and I want you to wear the ring and chain for me. She adjusts the chain, flicks her head, smiles and says "hmm now you are mine... I am possessive too and I want all the women to know that you are taken" she hugs him and snuggles against his neck. He hugs her back kisses her forehead saying "I have already promised you my life at the mandap remember, you got to trust me, I always keep my promises" "I do too" she says pulling away from him she looks at the clock, it was almost 11am..." Wow time flies, we missed breakfast, are you hungry Jalal" he smiles with a wicked smirk says "hungry for you, if you are hungry I can call for the chef" ...she quickly pushes him away saying "no need for that, I like the privacy, I'll fix us something why don't you shower and come for a quick brunch" he sighs, nods his head, gets up and walks to the bathroom, she walks out towards the kitchen... she was busy making pancakes when she sees him walking towards her ... his hair wet from shower ... damp towel over his back, bear chested, showing off his six pack ... wearing just boxers ..stares at his wife and watches her move around the kitchen ...still wrapped up in his robe ...he walks over to her and pulls her into a tight back hug. nibbles her ears and whispers ... "wild sexy kitten ...that's what I should call you... look what you did to my back ...it is still stinging" he pulls away and turns around ...Jo sees his back ... multiple streaks red...all over his back, ... half moon imprints of her nails on his shoulders ...she blushes and is embarrassed as he hugs her, little drops of water from his hair fall on her face and neck from his wet hair... he nibbles on her neck saying "tell tale signs of your passion wild kitten"...she pulls away from him, pushes him slightly, pouts and says ... "do you want to see what you did to me?" ... sees his desire in his eyes as his face breaks into a conceited smirk "ofcourse show me... let me help you" and starts slipping the robe off her shoulder ...she was wearing his white shirt ...Jalal sees little bite marks along her neck ..he recalls clearly marking her then slowly unbuttons her shirt exposing the the reddish blue mark on the swell of her right breast ... kissing the mark says "I did that on purpose to mark the line of exposure... you will always cover up ... I get insane when I see other men lusting after you" he feels her spine stiffen ... he backs away a little bit, looks straight into her eyes, they hold each other's gaze briefly ..he actually sounded serious, Jo was taken back ... "are you telling me I do not dress modestly" she questioned him..."No, I won't ever force you into anything ...but I just want you to know how I feel, that's it... rest is up to you" The smell of burnt pancake had Jo turning around to the stove ... he watches her as she attempts to turn the stove off, fumbling, her eyes catch his gaze watching her he gives her a thumbs up and they both start laughing ...sitting in the breakfast nook she watches Jalal enjoying pancakes, syrup and fresh cream..."hmmm delicious, best breakfast I have had till date" they enjoyed their first meal together alone as husband and wife making light easy sweet conversation... Today is Friday I have to go the mosque and pray...this is my every Friday routine" he tells her gets up leaves, returns fully dressed in loose fitting white kurta pajama...I'll be back soon" ... He walks over and kisses her forehead "can I come with you " she asks ,,, he stares at her silently for a moment then shakes his head saying "not today...maybe some other day, I don't want to be late. Moreover, you should start getting ready for the Walima ...I have already asked for your suitcase to be delived here ...when I come back I'll take you home" and leaves.
Jo sat in the kitchen for a bit longer ... events of the morning flashing through ...she sighs...she leaves back to the US tomorrow ... calls up her mom and speaks with her briefly... talks to Shivani who seemed quite obsessed with Mirza...she calls up Ammi jaan who was upset Jalal had taken his bride to the penthouse instead of bringing her home ...since she had already showered and was waiting on her clothes ...she wanders around the penthouse exploring ... comes across a neatly hidden door ... opens it and walks into a nice space, it was the side entrance to a compact room with all modern amenities ...including a mini bar and jacuzzi in the bedroom with a beautiful view of the city...she walks over to the main door ... it opens into the corridor of the Mogul Ritz..the room was located opposite the elevator...the room was spic and span, she open the nightstand and see condoms and remote controls..gets disgusted as she begins to imagine what Jalal used this room for ... feels nauseated, turns to leave and turns right into Jalal's chest ...she pushes against him ... he holds her tight and says "JO ...my past is no secret ...this was before ... I have already asked Abdul to remodel these room back to inventory and shut off from my penthouse" Jo stays motionless in his arms.. he kisses her forehead lays his chin on her head and says "I promised you I will not cheat on you, you have to trust me ... didn't you tell me marriage is built on faith and trust" she nods .. "okay then learn to trust" he walks her back into the penthouse... tells her about the mansions and penthouses he has around the world.. and how he would like her to visit and redesign them all to her taste ... Jo suitcase had arrived ...she quickly changes into skinny tight jeans and a short body hugging t-shirt ...Jalal was sitting in study in front of the computer... he eyeballs her as she walks in ..."Jo can you please change into something else" his voice stern ..."you can't go out like this" ... "why not" she challenged him ... he gets up and walks towards her and before she knew it he had her pressed to the wall behind her ..grabs both her hands in a tight grip and raises them above her head pinning it against the wall ... his eyes dark with passion and anger he hisses "do you want other males to imagine doing this to you, you really have no idea at all do you" he smirked "do you know how much they can fantasize about you" he hissed ... his lips captured hers ..he kissed her hard passionately...frantically ..."the power you have over my body makes me weak ...makes me want to be more possessive" his breath warm on her neck, his voice almost a whisper sounded serious. Jo did know what to do, this facet of Jalal was new to her, she knew he was possessive ... he had made it clear to her when they first met ... she thinks briefly and says "Okay I'll change ...I'll need a new wardrobe ..." Thank you Jo" gives her tight hug and releases her ... she returns wearing the same jeans, a longer loose fitting cotton shirt and scarf. He smiles seeing her ...hugs her and kisses her forehead and says "thank you wife, I can now breathe in peace, lets go, I just spoke with ammi jaan and got a lot of flack ..." In the underground parking lot, Jo checks out the number of expensive cars Jalal owned and the mo-bikes as well... her eyes fell on the red and white Ducati bike ... "that my favorite too, lets ride her, do you want to ride it" he asked, she nodded ... okay lets go, he starts it and pulls it up for her ...she looked so excited ... Jalal was enjoying seeing her happy..."you will allow me to ride it" she said a looking a little surprised ... "ofcourse why not, I trust you with my life, why not my bike...have you taken a ducati on a spin before ?" She smiles and says "no but I have taken suzuki AEM on one" Jalal gives her a quick run down of the controls saying "you are my kind of girl" they wear the helmets, she hops on and he hops on behind her ...clings to her waist, hugging her tightly as she takes off...
At the Mohammed residence ..."Jalal, I cannot believe you would let your wife do this, coming on your bike here... and how can you bring her home dressed like a college girl...she is your bride... toda dress sense hona chahiye na tum dhono ko"...she went on and on... Jo was a little embarassed, she patiently listened as her mother in law partially complained then advised ...finally Jalal steps in saying "ammi, she is my wife, she is a college girl, I had no problem with what she wore ... this evening she will have be dressed in our traditional heavy wear for the Walima... give her some breathing space" he grabs Jo's hand and leads her upstairs to his suite. Once in the room he apologizes to her on his mom's behalf saying "she is tradtional in her views... give her time, she will adjust" Jo was standing near the dresser taking the pins that kept her hair up when Jalal coms and hugs her and carries her towards the bed...Jo struggles to get down saying ..."hey, the door is open, your sis will be walking in soon" Jalal smiles and lets her down "you're right ...I have not seen that brat still and walks to close the door ... he sees Mirza chasing Baksi .. Baksi was running toward Jalal screaming ..."stop bhaijaan ...stop" Jalal quickly grabbed and started closing it shut when it started coming off the frame ...Mirza bursts into a fit of laughter ... Jalal realizes his brother had set up this prank for last night... Jalal smiles and was glad he had taken Jo tot he penthouse ...Mirza comes by and the puts the bolts back in place ..Bakshi was busy talking to Jo, they were sitting on the couch...Jalal comes and says "ok Bakshi..why don't you go and help ammi, we have to get ready... my biwi will come down once she is changed" Bakshi agrees, gives a quick hug and leaves ...Jalal locks the door and walks towards Jo ..."Jalal why did you lock the door, what will your relatives think ..." he continues walking to the couch carries Jo saying "I need to kiss my wife on in my own house on my own bed and what I do with my wife behind closed doors is none of their business" she wraps her arms around his neck and starts kissing him as he slowly walks to the bed, he lays her on the bed and pins her down and begins to fondle her, he slightly shifts his position, Jo escapes and tries to roll out of the bed when Jalal hops on the bed grabbing her ankles ...the bed suddenly goes down ..."Mirza" Jalal yells ... the nuts and bolts were taken off ...he opens the door and Mirza and his other cousins were standing out laughing, teasing Jalal no end... Jo was flushed red ..emabarrased ..."Mirza ...don't worry payback will be costly for you"
For the Walima ...they both wore traditional indian outfits... Jo wore a Fully embroidered farshi style banarsi jamawar seperate leg bridal gharara with imported silk dupatta with exquisite antique zardozi, sequins, resham and stones work finished with banarshi jamawar and silk frill. Jo jewelry was antiques given to her by her mother in law for the occasion. She looked exquisitely beautiful. Jalal was not any less, he wore an Ivory banarsi silk ornate sherwani perfectly crafted with sequin arrangement and gold thread work all over, with stone patch work and sequins around the collar, the embroidery work on the sleeves and wrist completed his royal look. They both complemented each other well... Jalal was ready and was waiting for Jo sitting on the couch going over email on his laptop... he was so engrossed with work and did not notice Jo...she leaned over him, attempting to close the laptop saying "Jalal, you look very handsome and attractive, how do I look OK, do I need more makeup " ...Jalal inhales her fragrance, his eyes scan her from head to toe ... she sees his eyes blazing with passion "gorgeous, you look perfect, your light make up is perfect " he moves the laptop to a side and pulls her on his lap saying "I like you even better without anything" and nuzzles against her neck ...she giggles as he kisses her neck..."stop that ...I am already feeling apprehensive ..." Jalal gives her a confused look ..."apprehensive ..why" she begins to blush and says ..."Jalal don't be stupid, did you not notice how they give us a knowing look like ...like we know what you both have been doing look" ...Jalal laughs and says ..."oh that look, don't worry, they are giving that look because they did it as well" ... Jo continues "look at all the texts I have been getting from my friends and they will tease me no end today..." fidgeting with her fingers ..Jalal hugs her tight and says ..."don't worry I'll be there for you... I won't tell them what you did to my back and by the way..it is still burning" Jo playfully punches him and gets off his lap. The Walima was held in the ballroom at the Mogul Ritz ..where they first met...exactly a week ago...as they walk in both have flash backs of their first meeting...Jalal pulls her tightly against his waist and whispers into her ears "Jo I'm sorry I called you a bitch that day" Jo looks up at him almost teary and says "I must have deserved it as I slapped you first not knowing ... a mistaken identity" "its ok babes, lets forget the past and move forward" kissing her lightly on her lips ...she grabs his neck and pulls him and starts kissing him passionately ..oblivious to the crowd around them ... she feels his hands snaking up to her rib cage sensing his intentions, she grabs both his hands and pulls away ...loud applause ...everyone was clapping ...Jo and Jalal were embarrassed ...Jalal simply smiled and said "lets start the celebration" ... They were busy meeting with Jalal's business acquaintances, extended relatives, close family, co workers and friends. Jo was getting exhausted ..."shall we dance" Jalal asked, she nodded and he walked her to the middle of dance floor ...they dance to the beat of "woh tassavur ka aalam " he looked into her eyes as the music started ...everything around them froze, she whispers in his ears "I am not a terrible dancer but dancing with you and all eyes focused on us makes me nervous" she sees him smiling, his lips drew into a sly smirk as he pulled her closer hugging her, as the music ended he kissed the back of her hand with a wicked smile. Applause again ... Jalal smiled and waved to them when Sunny walked up to Jodha and said "Jalal, may I have the next dance" ...Jalal's hand tightened against her waist, then he released his grip and said sure ... looks at Jodha and walks away...the DJ asks for all to join in dancing ...music starts ... remix dance number peppy and fast moving...her eyes scan the ballroom for Jalal when dancing... she does not find him, she decides to leave the dance floor and starts walking towards the restrooms ...she did not realize that Sunny had followed her too...he grabs her hand and pulls her into a dark corner ..."Sunny ..chodo meri hath...idiot ..what the hell are you doing " pulls her hand away and tries to leave ...Sunny holds on to her tightly saying "hey listen to me Jodha ..what is going on here.. eh...you know I have been crazy about you, I asked you out on dates kitne bar kiya and you refused ...tu promise kiya na ... after graduation you will date me...then what happened... I know you don't love him...he is not the right person for you Jodha, he is treating you like his wh**e." ..."stop it, stop it...I never encouraged you...ever ...understand, and I did not make any promises to you... I did not see you as a life partner only as my best friend. you are an idiot to think so ...if I really saw you as husband material, nothing would have stopped me, understand" ...Jodha starts walking away when he pulls her against his chest attempting to hug her saying "this is what you wanted right " trying to kiss her and continues "I am passionate too, I was being a good guy ...girls don't like good guys, they like bad ones...look at you, ran after Jalal, lusting after him, no love involved and tu kitne uchit bhat ke regarding love ... you are nothing but a wh**e" ... she kicks him on his shin, slaps him hard saying "atleast he respects me and don't ever compare him to you... he is a million times better than you,he does not go after married women..look at you ...pathetic ...knowing I am married ...chi...think about what you did ... I have known you for over 10 years ...I never encouraged you at all...I only saw you as a good friend ...reexamine you brain" and walks out unknown to Jo there were two pairs of eyes watching this interaction ... Jalal and Abdul had snuck out for a smoke...they were about to light the cigarette when it started ...Jalal would have walked and beaten the shit out of Sunny if Abdul did not hold him back ...After Sunny left ...Abdul tells him "Jalal, she is a smart girl and can handle her own business ...rahane do yaar...she will be fine..." Jalal was still shaking furious tells Abdul "I have to find her" and leaves ... he walks back to the ballroom...looks for Jo but does not find her ...he sees Sunny sitting with friends at the bar ...thinks he should beat him but decides to look for Jo first ... he sees Jo walking back into the ballroom with her friends ... Jalal walks up to them and says "so you guys stole my wife from me, can I take her back now?" looks and winks at Jo, pulls her giving her a side hug saying "come, I want you to meet..." and they walk away ...once away from their hearing distance, Jalal asks Jo "what happened to you... it seems like you've seen a ghost?" ...Jo gets nervously upset and says "its that idiot Sunny ...he was being stupid,I am ok now" "are you sure?" Jalal asks ..."I'll fix him" and starts to walk when Jo grabs his hands and pulls him back saying "Leave him be...nothing serious, he just needs to grow up..." Jalal clenches his teeth, his fist, looks at Jo and says "OK then, lets go...I am done here" They say their good byes and leave the venue...pin drop silence all the way back home...they just sat holding hands ...
Back at home Jalal is still upset ...he goes downstairs and hangs out with male members of his family and friends drinking ...Jo falls asleep waiting for him ... a fully drunk Jalal was assisted back to his room by Mirza ...Jalal plops on the bed and passes out immediately...Jo wakes up with the movement ...Mirza says "he got too drunk Bhabi jaan, we had to drag him up here, Goodnight" and leaves. Jo sits up in bed ... gets Jalal undressed ...she changes to night gown as well ...wondering what happened that made Jalal angry ...this facet of Jalal was new to her and she was not sure how to handle it ...she falls asleep while watching him. Jalal wakes up early at the crack of dawn by habit ... no matter how much he had to drink the night before, he always woke up in time for morning prayers ...he sees Jo fast asleep ... her flimsy nightgown outlining her curves ...Jalal feels his passion begin to stir ... he wants her bad again... gets out of bed, washes up and gets ready for morning prayers ...comes back a little later sits of the side of the bed watching Jo as she slept...he slowly bends forward and kisses her forehead ...she opens her eyes and looks at him..."good morning beautiful" he whispers ...she smiles ..."let me wash up and come" and gets off the bed ...she returns looking all too sexy ...Jalal looks at her and see arousal in her eyes as well...he pulls her on his lap and begins to caress her and kiss her ...she responds to him ...he feels her warm hands on his chest as she slowly starts tugging the hair on his chest... sending him into a wave of arousal he never experienced before ...suddenly he recalls Sunny words ...he is treating you like a wh**e ...just lust no love...he stops and pushes her away, Jo was surprised she wants more, feels a disappointment... he runs his fingers through his hair and says "Jo I have decided to wait, we need to give ourselves more time, I want to date you in college get to know you more ...I want our relationship to be more than just lust" Jo sits up in bed.."what happened to you Jalal...are you ok?" "something is not right ...you have been acting weird since last night" He pulls her back against his chest hold her tight and says "is that not what you wanted ?" ...she looked surprised "yes but..." she nodded giving him a hug she nestled into his arms hugging him and squeezing him tightly ..."are you sure you want do that for me" she whispered "sure I can" he replied instantly... she hugs him tighter again and says "thank you Jalal for being understanding, I will miss your touch" ...Jalal gives her a sly grin, smirks and says ..."I will be touching you alright...hugging, kissing, fondling are part of the dating game right" Jo blushes and nods her head "well then" pins her on the bed kissing her passionately. "Jo how long do you think we should date ?" Jo gazes into his eyes passionately and says "till spring break ...that is 4 weeks away" Jalal takes a deep breath, sighs and says "that should be fine, do you know how hard this is going to be for me?" she nods her head and says "it will be hard for me too" she said gazing up at him as he hovered over her ... her hands started to work up its way around his neck as she pulled him down kissing his neck ...Jalal groans..."this is going to be very very tuff for me" ...
The whole day they were busy...Jo had to go back to her house to gather her stuff and pack up before leaving for the US ...Jalal was accompanying her too ...they were going on his private jet ...she was excited...Jalal had insisted that she stay at the penthouse opposite the university he had purchased prior to their marriage ...no matter what Jo said ..he would not agree ...he also told Jo she would have a body guard hanging close by at all times ..."I have a lot of business enemies and I don't want them to mess with you" was all the explanation Jalal gave. Jo enjoyed being with Jalal's family... she loved Ammi jaan, she also ran into Badiammi who walked up to her at the walima and said "looks like the storm has calmed down" Jo gave her a tight hug and said "thank you" Jo also enjoyed Bakshi's company...Shivani had come by to visit her (or so she thought) although she spent most of her time with Mirza who was busy showing off. While having dinner Jo got a call from Sunny...he sounded desperate ...he said "Jodha please I need your help, I just missed my flight, you know if I miss anymore classes I will get kicked out and won't graduate this year ...can you please ask your husband if I can fly with you guys ... please, pretty please" Jalal was watching Jo's expressions ...he had seen the caller ID on her phone when it went off..."we are having dinner can I call you back" she says and hangs up... looks at Jalal and softly whispers "can I speak with you privately please" they excused themselves from the table and retreated into their room once inside "what is it" Jalal demanded, his tone leaving no question of his request for a straight answer... Jo looks nervously at Jalal and says "Jalal ..that was Sunny ...my friend from college ...he missed the flight and wants to know if you will take him on your private jet" Jalal smirks and thinks ..for real that fool...he looks at JO and asks "what is he to you?" she leans on his chest hugs him, then looks up at him and answers "he is just a friend ... a confused friend at the moment ...more like a brother friend", Jalal picks her chin up and asks "what do you want me to do" ..."help him" she answered honestly .."so you want me to help him" he said with a humorless laugh..."OK I will...only because you want me to" he assured her. "Thank you Jalal" she gives he a passionate kiss..."You have nothing to worry about him... he is an idiot at the moment ... he will realize that soon" Jalal looks at her and says "tell him to be at the international departure area by 10pm today ...I'll have to make some calls first before giving him further details" Jalal leaves scrolling through his cell phone... Jo calls Sunny back and relays the info given by Jalal ... Sunny thanks and apologizes "Sorry I was a real jerk last night ...please forgive me, I don't know what got into me" she just hangs up on him. Jalal walks back in and says "give me his number I'll give him the details when I get it" Jo says ok "I'll text it to you" and does. Time flies by quickly... Jo, Jalal and Abdul were at the airport ...there were two other guys not familiar to Jo ..Jalal introduces them and Azad and Hajid.."they are my bodyguards , they will fade in the background.. you wont notice them much... Hajid will be your bodyguard till I can find a suitable one you" Jalal sounded a little distant ... They find sunny waiting for them at the departure loungue... he walks up to them ...exchanges hand shakes with Jalal, then thanks him. Jalal says "oh, thank my wife for it, she is the one that insisted I help you" Sunny looks at her and says "thanks you, you are a true friend...sorry about earlier" Jalal looks up and says "what happened earlier" then looks at Jo then at Sunny..."oh nothing, nothing ... Sunny was just being a jerk, thats all" Jalal holds her gaze in silence and the walks away to talk to Abdul. Things went uneventful... Jo was surprised to find Jalal's private jet had its own bedroom, a jaccuzzi and 8 firstclass seats ...she clung to Jalal's arms till they retired to bed for the night... she snuggles against his chest, then leans over and gives him a playful goodnight kiss which turned passionate ..."goodnight Jalal" she whispers "goodnight babes" he answered.
Once back in college ...life became simple yet busy again ... she settled into her new penthouse... Jalal had insisted on it for security reasons he said ... he also wanted direct access to her. He lived at his mansion in NY ... had his own private runway... he drove by almost every other day to visit with Jo.. taking her out to coffee.. helping her with her projects, homework.. for valentine's day she woke up surrounded by roses ... she had got him tickets the "taste of NY" an event sampling the street food of New york. They went out on dates to museums, parks ... eating street food which Jo loved immensely and Jalal hated ...but tolerated it for her sake. Evenings they spent hours talking to each other on the phone.. she told him all about herself, her business her life seemed quite boring compared to his .. her had studying, studying and more studying... his had travel, travel and more travel. He praised her for her keen business interests, she told him she wants to study law as well and he encouraged her and told her he would support her. She was beyond happy. they had open lines of communications, they discussions from love,marriage, sex, kinky sex, babies, finance etc.. She looked forward to his visits, he helped her with her projects and portfolios ... she started longing for more intimacy... Jalal felt the same way as well, he enjoyed talking to her and spent hours on the phone when away from her. He longed to be with her intimately, and was reaching an aching point... he had taught her to touch him, stroke him, initially she was shy and a little hesitant ..slowly she warmed up to him... they began sharing new experiences with each other, it was almost spring break and he was looking forward to their union. Two more days he told himself ... he could have fully, their 10 days honeymoom would begin... just the thought gave him an arousal... they pined for each other... Jo's friday test got cancelled ... she could leave for spring break a day earlier than scheduled ... she called Jalal, could not talk to him directly ... she texted him "I am going to meet with the GYN to get started on birthcontrol ...I got off a day early..I will he home in New York today by 11am...luv JO... Jo reached Jalal's mansion ... she walks in and was met by the maid who was surprised to see her ..."master said you were coming on friday" she said .. Jo smiles and says "I got off a day earlier ...I had to go to a Dr's appointment" Jo had visited an OB/GYN doctor... prior to coming home...Dr Zehr ... a petite middle eastern female, very pretty... very smart ..they became instant friends ... Jo's gyn check up went well... she got the prescription for birthcontrol pills ..Dr Zehr had asked her to wait till the following day before she starts to take it as "we have to know your pregnancy status, the blood test result will be in by tomorrow we could do an urine preg test, but that is not very accurate. You could be pregnant you know, you are late on your periods and you have the stomach virus" they exchange the cell numbers, Jo leaves the doctor's office smiling thinking about Jalal ... Jo was happy ... Jalal was expected back from his trip tomorrow, she has to wait one more day. Driving back home she stops picks up a home pregnancy kit...she just had a doubt. Jo had been struck down by food poisoning (or so she thought) and had been throwing up for the last few days... she did not want to admit she might be pregnant .. but she had to admit she was a few days ... ok more like 4 weeks late... was so busy studying for LSAT she forgot to keep track ... throwing up did not ease her concerns...she wanted to clear her own doubts before Jalal arrived, ... she was scared of his feelings as he had already made it very clear that he did not want the responsibility ... she was worried he might blow up... standing in the bathroom with a pregnancy kit in her hand, she blinks back tears recalling his views regarding children ... "I do not want to be saddled with a child... I am not ready for the physical and emotional roller coaster of being a father. We just got married and we have our lives to live first ...all I want from our marriage now is YOU... I want to enjoy the sexual and emotional gratification I get from you and I do not want another person intruding into our intimacy ... bad enough I have to share you with your studies... take necessary precautions " If he finds out he will not be thrilled... suddenly the bathroom door swings open and Jalal walks in, she sees his hungry and lustful eyes checking her out as he walks towards her ..."hello my sexy beautiful wife... finally...spring break... our honeymoon ...he wraps his arms around her waist and picks her up ... swings her around ... notices her confused expression and sees her hiding something ... he tries to reach for her hands ... "what is that in your hands" she tries to hide it but he grabs the box out of her hands looking at it he becomes pale, his eyes filled with shock, disbelief and anger..."Jalal" she gasps his name, her voice trembling... "I think I have the stomach virus ... I just want to be sure" ... Jalal pushes her against the sink and says "you can't, you can't ... we are not ready" ...he gets angry and punches the wall... rubs his forehead ... she looks at him helpless not knowing what was to come in the next few moments ... looks into his eyes blinking back tears whispers "maybe I am just paranoid... I am just a few weeks late...and if I'm pregnant, I am pregnant , what can I do, you are responsible for it and ...no matter how powerful you are, it does not matter if you are ready or not...I can't unpregnant myself" ... Jalal glares at her angrily as she continues ..."you are so mean... " and throws the pregnancy kit at him starts walking out of the bathroom...suddenly her head starts to spin, she feels dizzy, her vision goes hazy ... legs become like jelly...
