"Jealousy Is Just A Sign That Shows How Much You Like, Care or Love Someone"

(Karthik's POV)

"Shit" I curse under my breath & roll off Mithra's body. I jump out of the bed & hurriedly pull my pants on.

"Karthik..." Mithra says sleepily & her hand reaches beside her. She frowns when she couldn't find me in bed.

"Get up" I pull her up by her arms & make her sit, forcefully. She snaps out of her sleep & looks at me blinking her eyes.

"I gotta go now. Bye" I take her head between my hands & kiss her lips soundly.

"Stay with me for 10 more minutes" she pleads with her puppy eyes.

"No! You said the same in the morning & I missed my morning flight. Not again!"

"Skip this night flight too and you can take tomorrow morning flight." she says with mischief twinkling in her eyes. I contemplate her suggestion for a moment before saying "No".

As much as her idea sounds appealing, I have a business to run so I need to go.

"Okay, I will see you out" she says, pouting & scoots out of the bed, draping the bed cover loosely around her naked body.

"Hey, wait." I stop her & scoop her dress in my hand from the floor. I throw the dress on her face. "Wear this & come"

"Why?"

"Don't ask questions. Just wear it, Mithra" I say impatiently. I'm already running late.

"Okay!" she pouts.

I intake sharply when she unceremoniously discards, the bed sheet draped around her body, on the floor.

"Why don't you use the bathroom or dressing room to change?" I yell at her without taking my eyes off of her.

"Why are you shouting at me, Karthik?" she asks innocently, clutching her dress closer to her chest which barely hides her treasure.

"Don't play innocent. I know what you are trying to do." I say & take the dress from her hand & dress her myself by slipping it over her head & zipping it up because I know she will flaunt her sexy naked body in front of me to tempt me & in the end I will lose my control & stay with her one more night like how I have been staying with her for the past two weeks in Melbourne.

Before her college started, we had two months time which we utilized productively by making arrangements for her visa & her shifting. We also spent as much time together as we can.

In spite of being busy with my Singapore project I managed to be with Mithra because we knew we won't get much time once she moved to Singapore.

We also managed to convince our parents though it wasn't easy as I expected. They threw hell lot of tantrums before reluctantly agreeing with us.

Then two weeks ago, I brought Mithra to Australia to get accustomed with this place.

"Well, baby, good luck for your new life. I will visit you whenever I can." I promise her. Then I take her face between my palms & claim her lips with mine. We both kiss slowly & sweetly, savoring each other. I break our kiss & rest my forehead on hers and try to calm our breathing.

"I love you, Mithra" I kiss her forehead.

"I love you, Karthik"

"Miss. Kelly, I am leaving now, take care of my Mithra" Miss. Kelly James is in her early forties, who will be looking after Mithra. She is a very sweet lady & I think Mithra has already jelled up well with her in this two weeks time.

"I fully intend to take care of your wife, Mr. Karthik" Miss. Kelly says and smiles at me. I nod. "And don't forget, she is allergic to mushrooms, pineapples & red wine so strictly don't give them to her" I remind her once again. She nods & smiles fondly. I smile back at her.

Then I turn to Mithra's bodyguard as well car driver who will accompany her to wherever she goes. Mr. Anderson is an ex-army, a well built man, so keen at his work and I have been noticing that in the past two weeks. He is actually my dad's friend's friend so I guess I can trust him to protect Mithra in time of need. "Mr. Anderson, I am sure you know your job quite well, so just follow the protocol" I tell. He nods his head briskly. He is a man of few words.

"Baby" I put my hand out for Mithra to take and I lead her out of the house to the car park.

"You, okay?" I ask tipping her chin up. She suddenly went silent.

"Now only it really sinks to me that we are going to stay apart for two long years..." she says as her voices cracks.

"Please, don't start crying. I won't be able to leave you if you cry" I whisper & kiss her hair.

"I am sorry" she says & wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

"Mithra, listen, I wanna tell you something."

"What?" she asks

"I am not restricting you from going out & exploring Aussie. You can have fun but not too much. You are not supposed to roam around at night times. If you are going clubbing, pubbing and stuffs like that with your friends then make sure to keep Mr. Anderson close to you. I don't want you to put your life in unnecessary risk, okay?"

"Okay" she nods & rubs her hand over my chest. A gesture she does when I am nervous, tensed or angry.

"Don't study late night, eat on time, & sleep well, okay?"

"Okay" she nods again.

"Do talk to our parents, at least, once in a day. They worry for you, okay?"

"Okay"

"One more important thing, if you fall sick then I should be the first person to know. You should not hide anything from me like how you hid your accident when I was away in Singapore last time, okay?"

"Okay"

"Promise me"

"I promise" she places her palm over mine

Then I slip my hands around her waist & pull her, flushing her body against mine as we kiss deeply, passionately & hurriedly too.

"Take care, baby. Bye"

"You too take care. Please don't work like a maniac and spoil your health. Oh and if you miss me, come to me. Love you" she says everything in one breath.

"Okay." I agree & peck her cheek before climbing into the car.

"Love you, baby. Bye"

"Bye" she smiles, waving her hand.

"So how's your college going, baby?" I ask Mithra. We are now having a video chat.

"It's fun. Today, I made two friends, Kathy & Zoey. They are pretty cool. They have asked me to hang out with them this weekend and I agreed" she says & takes a spoon full of fried rice. It's dinner time there in Australia.

"Hey, wait!" I stop her.

"What?" she asks looking at the laptop screen.

"Green chili" I point to her spoon which she is holding close to her mouth.

"Oh!" she looks down at her spoon & removes the chili from the rice. "Thanks"

"How is Miss. Kelly cooking? Do you like her hand made food?"

"Yeah, she is cooking damn awesome." she says. I nod. I know Miss. Kelly knows to cook multi-cuisine and I liked her cooking when I was there for two weeks.

"So what plan for tonight?" Mithra asks.

"Sanjeev is coming over here"

"Oh! Why?" Mithra asks, frowning. I grin, sheepishly

"You guys are going to drink?" Mithra asks raising her brow.

"Please, baby. I had a tiring day. I need some relaxation"

"Just one beer"

"Okay! Just one beer" I raise my hands up agreeing with her.

"I wish I was there to help you to let out your streams" she says with a salacious grin. I laugh.

"I wish so too, Mithu" I say and I hear the door bell ring. "I guess Sanjeev is here. You wait for a sec; I will let him in and get back to you"

--0--

"Hi Aussie Aunty!" Sanjeev waves his hand in front of the screen.

"Aunty? How dare you call me 'Aunty', you pig?" Mithra growls at him. Why don't these two ever have a friendly conversation?

"Sorry, slip of the tongue. Not aunty! Beauty! You look beautiful, sweety" Sanjeev says, sweetly. I frown. "You are glowing. I guess the weather suits you"

"Really?" Mithra asks, blushing. "Well, it's actually too cold here"

"Oh! Then find a handsome guy to warm you up or have you already found one in college?" Sanjeev asks, winking.

"No! Not yet!" Mithra sighs, sadly.

"What the f**k!" I shout.

"Yeah, what's wrong? You are getting too old for her. She is still young so let her have some fun" Sanjeev teases me.

"Hey! She is there to study, not to flirt" I tell Sanjeev & send an indirect warning to Mithra.

"You know what, Sanjeev? Few boys are hitting on me in college. Maybe I will give them a chance someday" she says excitedly completely ignoring me.

"You both better stop taunting me or I will f**king kill you." I roar.

"Oh come on, Karthik. Here, boys are damn cute" Mithra says dreamily riling me up more. I snatch the beer bottle from Sanjeev & move away from the video cam view.

"Chillax, dude" Sanjeev pats my shoulder. I scoff at him. He really spoiled my mood & I hate the fact that Mithra is also playing along with him.

"Karthik..."

"You go sleep, Mithra. We will talk tomorrow!" I say & shut down my laptop.

"Hey, cool man. We were just making fun of you"

"Shut the f**k up, Sanjeev"

I hear my phone ring & I know its Mithra but I didn't pick up the call. I want some time to calm down. Joke or not, it still hurts me to hear her say about cute Aussie boys.

"You miss your wife, huh?" Sanjeev asks, pricking my wound.

"No! I don't miss her." I lie.

"Are you happy staying alone without her?"

"Yes! I'm fucking happy without her!" I take a long slug straight from the beer bottle & lay my head back on the couch. "Let her enjoy her life with cute Aussie boys & I enjoy my life with hot chicks" I say in my anger.

"I hate you, Karthik" I sit up right hearing Mithra's voice. I look around the room wondering from where her voice came and I find Sanjeev holding up his phone.

"I thought you would say how much you miss her but you said all negative things" he says in a contrite tone.

Did she call him when I didn't attend her call? But when the f**k he attended her call? I didn't hear his phone ring? Was it in silent mood?

"F**k!" I growl at him & snatch the phone from him & walk out of my room to the balcony.

"Mithra, Baby..." I say but I hear only the beep tone. I try her number but she refuse to attend.

Getting mad, I chuck Sanjeev's phone hard on the floor making him gasp.

"My Apple" Sanjeev cries picking up the broken piece of shit.

"My wife" I pick my phone & call her again but my stubborn wife fails to reply. Sighing, I put my phone safely in my pocket. "You f**ked up everything, Sanjeev. My wife is mad at me"

"You broke my phone" he accuses me.

"Thank your stars that I didn't break your bones"

"I hate you, Karthik" he says just like Mithra said few minutes ago.

"Thank you. Now move your ass out of my house" I want some time alone. This moron will only piss me off.

Once he vacated from my house, I shut the door & went to Mithra's room to sleep hugging her teddy bear. Her soft toys are giving me company in her absence.

It's been two days since Mithra & I lastly talked. I am keeping check on her through her bodyguard but still I want to hear her voice. I don't know why she is mad at me when she knows I didn't mean what I said. In fact I should be the one pissed at her for teasing me.

I couldn't focus on my work. I open my messenger to see whether Mithra is online or not & to my luck she is.

"Hi, baby. How are you? Please talk to me. If you are still mad then at least chat with me." I quickly type the message & hit the 'enter' button.

"Hi, Karthik. I am fine. How are you? Yes, I am still mad at you so we will chat here" I got her reply, immediately and I couldn't help but smile.

"Why are you mad at me?"

"You know why!"

"Baby, I didn't mean what I said."

"Really?"

"Yes. I swear. I miss you badly."

"But you said you are happy without me?"

"That was a lie."

"Alright. When are you coming to see me?"

"By the end of this month"

"Oh no! I have to wait another 20 more days huh?"

"Yeah! I have work here"

"Hmm... okay"

"So I can call you & talk with you, now, Mithra?"

"No!"

"Why?"

"No means No"

"Okay" I sigh.

"I will upload my latest pics. Check it" she texts.

"Okay"

Within minutes she uploaded few of her solo pics & few with her friends.

"Looking good in that pink dress"

"Thanks and the girl standing to my left is Kathy & right is Zoey"

"Oh! They are looking pretty ;)" I type with a wink.

"Ahaan" she types and a minute later, she sends me another picture in which a f**ker is hugging my Mithra from behind resting his chin on her shoulder and poses for the selfie.

"WTF?"

"He is my boyfriend. His name is Jerome"

I logout the messenger app & quickly book my flight tickets to Melbourne through online.

Next day, early morning, I reach Melbourn and I head to Mithra's place.

Miss. Kelly lets me in as I have already informed her & Mr. Anderson about my arrival but even asked them to keep it a secret from Mithra. I want to surprise her.

I stood outside Mithra's bedroom, leaning my shoulder on the door jab as I watch her sleep peacefully after taking my sleep away.

I slowly drop my backpack on the floor & walk to the bathroom to freshen up. I take a quick shower & step out of the bathroom, changing into new clothes but still I find my wife sleeping.

Without disturbing her, I slip under the covers beside her on the bed & drape my arm loosely around her waist. She shifts in her sleep & hides her face in my chest.

"I love you, Karthik" she says, nuzzling my chest. I look down at her in shock but find her still sleeping. She has a sweet smile playing on her face as she sleeps. I guess she is having some pleasant dream.

"I love you too, Mithra" I whisper near her ear & nuzzle her hair. God! She smells heavenly.

I bend my head down & nibble her lips gently. She tilts her head up positioning well & kisses me back, hungrily. Then I start nuzzling her neck & sucking her throat. I trace my teeth upward to her jaw and then move to her earlobe. My favorite spot as it's so soft to lick & suck.

"Even in dream, our kiss feels so real, Karthik" I hear Mithra talk in her sleep. I lift my head up from the crook of her neck & plant a kiss on her eye & whisper "We kissed in real, not in dream, sweetheart" Her eyes flung open & she stares at me in the dark before screaming bloody murder. Immediately I cup her mouth with my palm to muffle her scream.

"It's me, dammit" I shout at her but without listening to me, she struggles to push me off her body.

"eettoffeee"

"What?" I ask not getting what she said.

She pushes my hand away & shouts "Get off me, you idiot"

I realize I am trapping her with my legs so I quickly untangle my legs & release her from my clutch.

She pushes me roughly & jumps out of the bed reaching for the bed side lamp. Quickly she switches on all the lights in the room.

"Karthik?" she exclaims with wide eyed shock. Didn't she see me before? Okay, I agree it was dark but then she should have recognized my voice when I said 'It's me', right?

"You here?"

"Yep!"

"How? When?"

"I had a long night. I need some sleep. I will fill you the details, later." I say & flip back on the bed.

She slowly walks to the bed & sprawls beside me, looking up at the ceiling. She is still in daze.

"You are not dreaming. I really am here" I kiss her cheek & pull her into my arms.

"I am happy you are here, Karthik" she plants a soft kiss on my neck & soon we both went to a peaceful slumber.
