Chapter 2: Plans.

Ok guys this part is totally in Alekh's POV, it continues after Sadhna runs to the bathroom, don't worry, in my fic, she isn't pregnant yet. LOL…Anyway enjoy and REVIEW.


Alekh's POV.

I could tell by the color of her skin that this movie wasn't the best choice for her. Myself, I wasn't enjoying the bloody torture scenes, but the storyline is what kept me interested. And of course, the fact that she was laying next to me the whole time, totally pressed into my body.

I kept covering her eyes because I knew she couldn't handle all the torture scenes. My sweet, innocent, gentle Sadhna shouldn't be watching this. But she kept insisting and saw the worst scene possible, and stood up shakily in haste, and ran to the bathroom.

Oh no, she was sick. I ran after her and the bathroom door was locked. I kept knocking on the door.

"Sadhna, open the door, are you ok in there? Do you need any water? Maybe have a little lemon juice, if you're feeling nauseous."

She opened up and walked out looking sweaty and shaken.

"I'm fine. Just…dinner went right out."

"Well I warned you! You didn't need to see any heads chopped off…"

She put her hand up. "Please, don't mention it!"

"Sorry!"

I took a tissue and wiped her face. Then I wrapped her in a blanket and hugged her. She felt a little cold.

"Are you sure my darling, that you're ok? What are you feeling right now?"

"I feel better, stomach hurts a little, and I have a headache too. But I'm a lot better."

"Ok, I'm calling it a night. You need some rest."

"But…"

"But what? Cuddling? We can do that in the bed." I smiled at her.

I changed and got into bed next to her. She moved close to me, and I wrapped my arms around her. I couldn't stand it if she wasn't feeling well. I needed to see her smiling all the time or a part of me would feel dead. We were beyond a normal couple, our souls were connected, and we needed the other person in order to be happy. Otherwise, nothing in this world could ever make us happy.

She looked up at my face. "You look so worried."

The color had returned to her face and her eyes looked brighter. There's my spotless angel.

"How are you feeling now?"

She smiled. "Alekh Ji, you just asked me that."

"Well I want to know…"

"Much better. I'm not dizzy anymore. In fact, I feel kind of hungry, and warm."

She unwrapped the blanket from around herself, and lay down with her head on my stomach.

I put my hand on her forehead. Yes, she was warm. It felt like her skin now.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Um, I don't know…you think I should eat anything tonight, or just wait until the morning?"

"We'll see. For now, don't eat anything."

She was getting her energy back though. She got up and looked at my face, then she bent down and kissed my forehead. I took hold of her right away, and kissed her lips. She still got shy whenever I did that. I touched her neck with my finger tips, and felt her shiver. Her reactions to my touch always surprised me somehow. I always wondered how it was possible that I could love her and I could have her, all of her. I was so lucky.

She wrapped her arms around me and I felt her breath on my neck. I sat up. She looked into my eyes and smiled, shyly, of course, then looked back down. How much more beautiful could she be? I took her hands in mine and they felt warm, I sighed in relief. She was feeling better.

I got out of bed and carried her to the window, and then I placed her on her feet and wrapped my arms around her. We stared out the window and looked at the sky.

I remember very early on in our marriage, Sadhna and I would stand by the window at night and look out at the stars. She often made and wish, and watching her, I would do the same thing. She always shut her eyes tightly and looked like she was far away whenever she made a wish. As I was thinking this, I noticed Sadhna had her face buried in my chest, and her arms around me very tightly.

"Sadhna, may I ask you something?" I put my hands on the sides of her face and lifted it up.

"Yes Alekh Ji, anything."

"Sadhna, did any of those wishes come true? Those wishes you used to make with me at night, did they come true?"

She looked like she was deep in thought, and very moved. I noticed that her eyes very glittering, and when I looked closely, I saw that she was getting teary eyed.

"What's the matter Sadhna? I'm so sorry. If they didn't come true, I promise if you tell me what they are now, I'll do whatever I can to make sure they come true."

"No Alekh Ji, God is great. Everything I wished for came true. You know, I wished one night that Ranvir Ji would fall for Jiji naturally, and that God would get rid of all obstacles in their path, and bring them together. That came true. One night, I wished that God would perform a miracle, and give you your life back. I asked God to make you better and give you all the happiness in the world. I asked God to make you perfect again, just like you were born to be. I asked him to make you so powerful; that no one would ever ridicules you or humiliates you again. All to those wishes came true."

"That's it, Sadhna?"

"Yes…" She looked a bit confused.

"So you never wished for anything for yourself? It's always about the happiness of others isn't it? You amaze me, Sadhna."

"Alekh Ji I always prayed God would do what's best for me, and he did. But I didn't feel like I should waste my wishes on myself. If the ones around me aren't happy, how can I ever be happy? No amount of wishes for myself could ever make me happy if the ones I love are unhappy."

Yeah that makes complete sense. How could I think she'd ever make a wish for herself? That's not the way Sadhna's brain worked. She never thought about herself. She always wanted to make others happy.

"Well that's it Sadhna, I've had it with you trying to make me happy. I'm going to make sure that this weekend; I do everything in my power to make you happy."

I held her hand and made her go sit on the edge of our bed. Then I sat on the floor and took both her hands in mine.

"Sadhna I want you to tell me how you want to spend tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday. I'm done with you trying to please me all the time. I can put my own fantasies on hold for now. I need to make yours come true. So tell me what YOU would like to do this weekend. I can't believe I was being so selfish. God…anyway, speak Sadhna, you can tell me anything".

She looked down at her feet. "Alekh Ji, I…wanted…the same thing as you tonight…I just …well…wanted to make you wait for it, just a little. I'm sorry if I hurt you at dinner and then after-wards, but I was thinking maybe after the movie…we could…but…well the movie didn't work out so well."

"So, you also want this? I mean, don't lie to me Sadhna. If you want to go out for a drive right now, I'll take you. If you'd rather go watch a late night movie on TV with me, we can do that. If you don't feel well, I want you to sleep. And tomorrow, I already have a surprise planned for you at night, but in the day time, please tell me what you want to do. The same thing goes for Sunday; do not put my needs ahead of yours. Do you understand me?"

She replied by nodding her head and blushing. Awe, she's so cute. And right now she's feeling shy, I know she is. She wants the same thing as me though, so that's good. But, I wasn't going to touch her tonight. Not in that way. It just didn't feel right to me. I kept remembering how sick she looked just a few minutes earlier. She needed rest.

"Mere Jaan, I want you to sleep now. What we want, can wait. Tonight you need to sleep, ok? I think you're still a little shaken up, no more torture horror movies for you! How'd you come up with that one anyway? You were the one who thought Lord of the Rings was too violent, and you chose SAW?"

"Well, I wanted to watch something different, and this one got good reviews so…"

We laughed in unison. She's adorable. We lay down together and I held her hand, and for the first time in quiet a few nights, she fell asleep before me. I watched her lying still for a few minutes. Then I heard her sigh, and she had a light smile on her face. How beautiful! She was smiling in her dreams. I wonder what she was dreaming about. I did dream of her a lot, but usually I always forgot my dreams. Right now, she looked so peaceful and angelic. I wanted to kiss her again, but Sadhna was a light sleeper, she'd wake up right away.

I turned and adjusted my pillow. Then I heard her mumble softly.

"Alekh ji…." It trailed off at the end, and I heard her sigh again. I turned around, thinking she was awake, but she was still asleep. She was dreaming of me. Even in her dreams, she only wanted me. My heart felt overfilled with love and devotion. My fairy was smiling in her sleep, dreaming about me.

I lay in her direction, hoping to dream of her as well, and fell asleep.
