SIXTY-NINE (FINALE)
“She’s cute, isn’t she? As time goes by, she gets more beautiful,” Lauren said while looking at Avya peacefully sleeping in her crib.
“She’s as beautiful as you.”
“I know.”
“Thank you, wife. Thank you and you didn’t give up on me. Thank you and you stayed despite the pain you experienced with me. If you let go then and left me, I wouldn’t have Avya now to make us both happy.”
“I should be thankful, hubby. Because you loved me. Because you learned to love me despite everything you went through. You accepted my love for you. Who am I for you to love but believe in our relationship.”
“No, wife, there is no man who cannot love you. No man will not fall for you. Maybe it’s stupid not to see your kindness. Not seeing how lucky they are and when they loved you.”
She leans her head and looks at Avya.
“Hubby, I’m happy. I am very happy because finally, we are together, and we have a child. I know we still have a lot to go through, but I hope when it comes, hubby, we always go back to everything we’ve been through before we make a decision.”
“If another test comes to us, wife. Avya will be the memory that we all got through and she will be the reward. She will be the living witness that there is nothing we cannot overcome.” We were in that conversation when the doorbell rang.
“I’ll go, wife.” But before I left the room, Dylan entered. He was carrying a lot of plastic bag.
“Slowly open the door. Have you made another baby? It’s not possible yet because it’s still three months.”
“Asshole.”
“What is that?” Lauren asked.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“For my niece. Clothes and toys, there are puzzles, drawing books, and school supplies.”
“A toy? Avya is only two weeks old, Dylan.” I said laughing.
“Why? Will my nephew live forever for two weeks?”
“The ones you bought when my daughter grew up will be old.”
“Then, we will buy a new one. Are you stupid?” Then he approaches the crib. “Avya, uncle handsome is here. The handsome uncle you inherited.”
“Hey.” I scolded him.
“Why? It’s true! Do you have a problem? Just tell me if you’re jealous.”
“Tss!”
“See, Avya, your daddy can’t talk because it’s true.”
“My daughter is sleeping, don’t disturb her.”
“You’re louder than me. My voice just weakens.”
“Dylan, do you want something to eat?” Lauren asked.
“Nope, thanks. I already ate. I just got back from the hospital to visit Dane.”‘
I don’t know how to react. We haven’t visited Dane yet. I suddenly felt sad because I lost my nephew again. Dane lost her five-month-old twin. She slipped when she was chasing Ace because she almost fell into the pool.
The couple is in grief and there is nothing we can do now. I am only wishing them that nothing would change and that they wouldn’t blame Ace because Ace didn’t want that to happen either. She’s young and she doesn’t know what she’s doing.
“How’s Ace?” I ask.
“She was there in the mansion with King. They were there first while the couple was still in the hospital. Wallace didn’t want to leave Dane’s side. You know that when it comes to your brother.”
“Poor sister Dane. The twins were supposed to come out in just four months.”
“That’s not for them, Lauren. It’s just like that, you can’t stress yourself and you just gave birth.”
“Dylan is right, wife. No one wants that to happen.”
“I’m just sad, hubby. By the way, when you are planning to find a woman, Dylan? Dale and Daze have preceded you and they both have children. When are you getting married?”
“When Avya gets married.” The asshole said.
“You’re not getting any younger, Dylan, you’re almost thirty. You might disappear from the calendar without realizing it,” I seconded.
“Don’t worry about the calendar because there is still bingo. Even if it’s fifty, as long as I still have sperm I can have a family.”
“Hey, my daughter can hear you.”
“Sorry, Avya. Anyway, I just stopped by to give them what I bought. Then tomorrow I will come by again to bring the crib. Your crib is so ugly that I will buy a better one. I’m going to your brat sister, and she did something terrible.”
“Who? Daze?”
“Why, do you have another brat sister?
“What happened to Daze, Dylan?” Lauren asked.
“Nothing. Still don’t want to admit her nonsense.”
“Nonsense?” I wondered.
“Don’t interfere first. Just enjoy your life with your child. Oh, she looks so good like uncle Dylan.”
“Tss.”
“The father is jealous because she was the same as me.”
“Go away now.”
“Yes. I’m leaving. But hey, listen to the doctor, three months rules. B
“Asshole.” But he just laughed. “Don’t be me, Dale, no Dy can endure a month of vacancy. It just depends on how patient you are. Bye Avya.”
When Dylan left, Lauren looked at me.
“Why?” I ask.
“That’s what Dylan said.”
“What was said?”
“That you might not be able to stand it.”
“Tss, you believed that?”
“Hubby, the doctor said, after three months the stitches in my vagina will be fully healed. But the doctor didn’t say anything against other holes, right?”
“What other hole?”
“What—-besides—-maybe it can be after my period.”
“Wife.”
“Do not you like it?”
“Fuck, stop it.”
“Well, maybe you can’t stand it and—”
“And I can find a way to go?” She nodded in response. “That will not happen. Since you’ve been mine, you’re the only person I want in bed with.”
“That’s why if I hadn’t caught you when I was your secretary, maybe it would have continued. She said sadly.”
“Oh, sorry for that, wife. I am so fucking confused at that time. Mixed emotions. It won’t happen again.”
“I should really leave you forever and take Avya with me.”
“That will not happen. I prefer this than to cheat you.” Then I showed her my palm.
“This can do too, hubby.” She opened her mouth and pointed.
“Fuck.” I pulled her closer and kissed her. “I love you wife.”
“I love you, hubby. Promise you’re the only one.”
“And only you.” And I kiss her which she reciprocates. I won’t waste any time with her. Nothing will be wasted from now on because I will pour all my free time into my wife and daughter.
Who would have thought that I would love the girl who just arranged for me for business? A perfect wife that deserves everything. My arranged wife is now the love of my life. With a bonus—-my Avyanna, the witness of our eternal love. And I won’t waste it. Nothing will be wasted because I will pour all my time and time into my mother and daughter.
