My Emotionless Goddess

” I only wish to be by your side in this life.” The card read. Ronald smiled at her words. His woman was outspoken and would always tell him how important he was to his Life. She was never shy when confessing to him, so what’s with this new style of sweet talking?

Taking the card with him, he walked further only to step on another card. He picked it up and opened it to read it. This time, it was a red card, with a rose engraved in it.

If he was a flower

He would be a lotus

Pure and untainted

Its purity brings sanity to my darkened world.

If this was a dream

I wish to never wake up

Indulging to the beam

Living for the moment

A dream without you

Will always lose my favour

Wifey

Ronald was grinning from ear to ear upon reading the love letter. He never knew his wife had a poetic nature in herself. That came as a surprise, a pleasant surprise. He might be a powerful man feared by people but at the end of the day, he was human and craved for some sweetness and spice in his life. Moving in with Ava was one of the things that made him happy, now she made him even more happier. Having someone like her by his side, he counted himself a lucky bastard.

Proceeding with his walk, he came across another card.

I will stand by you in every milestone of life.

The card read that and for a minute there he was confused on what it meant. Ignoring his confusion, he walked to the table which had More decorations. Even a common person would know something special lay down that White tablecloth. He removed the white cloth covering the table and alas! What he Saw confused him.

On the table laid a cake, with a topping decorated like an infant’s shoe. A Small dress that could probably be worn by an infant was also there. He also Saw a picture which was black and white with nothing showing apart from some dots then lastly he spotted a card. Since all this set-up was confusing to him, he picked up the letter hoping to get some clarity in it and he did. The letter was written in bold this time.

” WE ARE PREGNANT.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Seeing those words, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body and before he knew it, he broke to a huge smile. A smile that was dazzling and blinding. Watching him smile so happily, Ava’s heart skipped a beat. She was nervous about how he would react to the news knowing that a baby was never in their plans but it seemed like he was excited.

Coming out from her hiding place, she walked to the man who was smiling like a fool to the card and checked out the picture simultaneously. Hugging him from behind, she nuzzled her head at his broad back. At first he stiffened then immediately relaxed.

” Honey, you have given me the best gift of my Life.” She uttered lovingly. She had always been longing to be a mother and take care of her own children. He made her dream come true, she was the happiest woman in this world.

” And you have given me the Best news of my life honey, I don’t know how to express my happiness.” Ronald said, turning her to look him in the face.

” You have made me the proudest Man on this planet.” He added.

That night they celebrated the news of their pregnancy. Ronald informed his parents who promised to be there the following day. He could feel their excitement.

Eight months later.

” Ava darling, don’t be stubborn. It’s dangerous to climb a tree with your condition.” Mrs Johnston pleaded with the heavily pregnant woman who was trying to climb a tree with a ladder to pick a ripe Mango from the tree.

” Dear, listen to your mother. It’s very dangerous to do that. Let the maids do that.” Mr Johnston was wiping sweat from his face repeatedly. Over the last seven months they have been living with their son and daughter-in-law, their life though happy was dramatic. Their daughter-in-law was a wild one and would occasionally make them have a heart attack.

” No way, I can’t let others hold my fruit.” She refused. She had spotted a yellow juicy mango up the tree and she wanted it and she’ll rest if she gets to pick the mango.

” Don’t worry mother, I’ll be very careful while at it.” She assured them with a smile. The old couple could only look at each other helpless. They only hoped that their son could get there as soon as possible. Only he was capable of talking his wife out if something.

Ronald was going through some files when a maid barged in panting heavily. He hated it when someone interrupted him but seeing her, he Saw the fear and urgency in her eyes.

” What’s the matter.?” He asked in a hurried manner.

” Master.. the mistress… The mistress is trying to climb a tree.” She reported amidst her stuttering.

Before She could catch her breath and explain the details, Ronald had already bolted out of the room at a terrifying speed.

” Don’t do this dear, your husband will kill us if anything happens to you.” Mrs Johnston pleaded. She was almost bursting in tears watching her future grandchildrens’ Life on stake.

“Come in mommy z, there’s no way Ronald will know about it. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.” She said preparing to climb the ladder when a pair of strong hands engulfed her body in a tight hug.

‘ oh no, he’s here.’ she screamed inwardly.

” Honey what are you trying to do?” Ronald asked in his deep, husky voice which was full of nervousness. He was scared out of his wits earlier when he Saw his pregnant wife trying to climb a tree. For a minute there, his heart had missed a beat as he sprinted to stop her.

” I Just want to pick that Mango.” Ava replied innocently.

Seeing that their son was finally here to their rescue, the old couple went back to the house paying their chests. Their daughter-in-law’s stunts exhausted them mentally.

” You could have asked me to pick it up for you.” Ronald said gently. He dared not raise his voice on her unless she burst into tears. The last thing he wanted was to see his beautiful wife in tears.

” But you were busy with work, I didn’t want to disturb you.” Came Ava’s innocent reply.

” You know I am always free when it comes to you. Don’t ever do that again. You scared me. What if something happened to you or our babies? I don’t want to lose any of you.” Ronald scolded her with tenderness. The doctor had said that these were pregnancy hormones in action but he was scared. Her hormones were always driving her to do dangerous stuff. The other time she climbed a stool trying to change the bulb in their room. She stumbled and almost fell. If it wasn’t for his coincidental appearance and fast reflexes, only God knew what could have happened.

” Okay.” Ava meekly replied. She knew that she was getting unreasonable each day but she wasn’t to blame for that. She was acting on impulse.

” Wait here, I’ll pick the mango for you.” Ronald said easily climbing the tree to pick the mango for Ava.
