Xander asked maria out on a date after a few months ,they visited almost all the amusing place in the city.maria was so excited,this is the first time she truly have fun
Maria was an orphan.she was raised by aunt who made her life miserable ,her mother died when she was 8years old and she never knew her father
she once heard her aunt telling her children that maria's dad deserted her mother when he discovered that she was pregnant ,he didn't want the child
maria was heartbroken when she heard what her father did but she brushed the thought off her mind she did not want to hold grudges against the man who was a partaker of her existence
her aunt treated her badly ,she was physically and mentally abused when she couldn't bear the pains inflicted on her anymore she ran to her grandmother for shelter ,the old woman assisted her all the step of the way till she passed away one year ago .her only friend became Farrera ,the little girl took her as a friend and big sister
it feels nice to see someone caring for her after grandma left her alone in this cold world
Xander took her to a beach.maria looked at him adoringly
" this place is beautiful "she gasped as she looked around
"come let's go" he held her hands lightly ,he knew she would like his surprise .when he couldn't figure out what maria like the most he went to her little friend he mentally prepared himself for what is to come out of that sassy girl's mouth after a lot of insults ferrera bargained with him.just the thought of what she asked him to do gave him goosebumps the little dare devil threatened him not to break Maria's heart ,at times he doubt if that girl is actually as old as she look.
they walked for a few minutes ,Maria eyes shone and her jaw was left hanging open
the other side of the beach was lit up with tea light candles which formed a part on either sides of the walkway to a decorated table , white napkins was spread on the table with a bouquet of marigold flowers placed at the middle of the table, beside the beautiful table are seven different food truck ,it was romantic ,she jumped on Xander and hugged him tightly "do you like it ??"he whispered in her ear "I love it " she answered shyly .Xander led her to the table gracefully,he pulled out the chair for her and sat across her ,as soon as they sat
a waiter came to serve them Maria tried all the meals while Xander ate little as he was staring at her without blinking
" can you stop staring at me for a moment??" she blushed as she said those words
" funny ,coz I said the exact same thing to you when we first met " he giggled
maria felt her face go hot 'he is always teasing me '
when they were done eating Xander walked her towards the wave ,the night was still young ,the sky was decorated with scattered stars and the moon completed its beauty with it brightness
maria closed her eyes and inhaled the fresh air ,this is the most happiest day of her life. they stared at the ocean ,talked about trivial things for a while it was getting dark so they went home maria was about to step down from the car when xander pulled her towards him and slammed the door ,she stared at him with wide eyes wondering why he shut the door
Xander looked into her brown eyes, his eyes traveled down to her heart shaped lips ,he wanted to kiss her soo damn bad " you are beautiful " he commented silently but loud enough for her to hear him ,she tried tearing her eyes away from his face but he held her chin with his hand,he could look at her beautiful face all day long without getting tired ,she bit her lips to stop the blush that was threatening to find it way to her cheek and that turned him On to no end ,his lips landed on hers ,her lips was soft and sweet he wanted more of her .Maria eyes went wide with shock ,her body was not responding to her ,what is wrong with her?? she felt hot , she kissed him back passionately ,his lips went down to her neck ,he sucked ,licked ,his hands went under her shirt as soon as he made contact with her bare skin she shivered .she tried suppressing her moans ,he captured her lips once again as his tongue pried deep in her mouth
once their lips parted ,maria face was red she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him
he caressed her cheek with his thumb" I love you"he whispered
" I love you more" she answered as she ran out of the car,her heart was beating wildly
Xander smiled as he watched her running towards her door and he licked his lips
he watched his bride walked down to the alter in her white off shoulder gown ,her hair was let loose falling beautifully over her shoulders , everyone was mesmerized by her beauty . Xander realized that maria is an essential part of his life she stole his heart since the moment he set his eyes on her after the wedding he took her to the city where he worked as doctor in a second level hospital
he bought a comfortable house on the outskirt of rosanda ,a big city in Country Q
five years later...
" doctor,I am desperate to have a child ,this is the sixth year of my marriage .won't I ever have the chance to hold a child of my own??" maria cried heavily as she poured her heart to the doctor
the female doctor looked at her sympathetically
this woman have been coming to her hospital for the past five years and she knows what Mrs Xander Have been going through ,they all tried their best ,the world best gynecologist couldn't detect anything wrong with her womb.she felt bad for maria but there is nothing she can do to help except pray for some miracle to happen somehow
after counseling and check up maria drove home dejectedly
she knew Xander tried his best as a doctor and as a husband ,but for how long is he wiling to be without a child ??will he leave her alone just like her parents?? she is starting to get depressed
she pressed her temples as she walked to her room and took her drugs before sleeping
she felt someone touch her bare neck and her eyes flew open ,she almost shouted " shush,wifey can't you at least welcome me with a hug??" Xander asked as he smiled at her,she hugged him tightly burying her face in his neck .even though she could not bear him a child he was always there for her
he cupped her face and looked at her worriedly" is anything the matter dear??" his voice was low
she nodded" no" and smiled reassuringly at him .he kissed her lips " I have missed you so much ,wifey" he muttered as his tongue find it way down her throat she moaned loudly as she arch her hot body to meet his ,he pulled away and took off his shirt quickly as her hands unbuckle his belt " I can't wait anymore " he groaned and brought out his man hood ,his body was wet with sweat ,his eyes clouded by lust maria was already naked and lying beneath him,his eyes scanned her smooth skin and he gulped ,not taking his eyes off her showered her body with kisses while his hands fondle and squeezed her breasts ,he parted her legs and settled himself between them, yes,he felt his throbbing manhood buried deep in her .he started thrusting faster and faster into her ,maria was lost in pleasure she decided to forget all her problems and concentrate on her loving husband ,her hands traveled all over his back as she pulled him in for more his lips crashed onto her mouth drowning her moans
one last thrust and they both reached the heavens they have been trying to reach ,panting vigorously, her body landed on the bed "I love you so much"Xander said and kissed her cheek " I love you till my last breath " maria said emotionally
Xander knew how troubled and desperate she is for a child ,he could only pray for God to listen to their pleas .
maria couldn't sleep that night ,she felt restless ,something kept telling her not to sleep
she wanted to wake her husband but decided against it at the last minute ,she can't stress him atleast he was up all night , she smiled as the thought popped up in her head ,how shameless, she scolded herself , maybe she should just sleep ,her mind was playing tricks on her but why is her heart slamming against her chest ??she placed her hands on her chest to calm her raging heart it was like she was expecting someone or something , but what is she expecting exactly??
she snuggled close to her husband she wrapped
her hands around his waist and was about to drift to sleep when she heard a sound,what was that ??she waited to hear anything again ,nothing ,everywhere was dead silent she was about scolding herself when she heard someone giggling it sounded like the laughter of a baby ,a baby!!! she screamed inwardly "Xander "she silently called as she shook him " Xander wake up " maria was getting impatient ,that sound was coming from their living room ,what if it is a ghost ??? she does not believe in superstitions but in this current situation she can't blame her mind for repeatedly bringing up the thought . Xander stood up "what??" he asked seemingly angry for being woken up at such wee hour of the night "d-do you hear that sound ??" she was scared
" I can't hear any sound "he looked at her with a 'are you sure you are okay? ' look but she couldn't care less ,she knew what she heard she may be depressed at times but definitely not crazy .Xander watched as she walked out of the bed and was ready to go outside "where are you going??" his voice was laced with a light hint of anger ,he didn't know her desperation for a child is this great ,he thought she will get over it and they will have to adopt a baby only for her to wake up in the middle of the night looking afraid and talking about a baby giggling and all that ?? no, she needs to see a psychologist
maria glared at him " since you are too scared to check what the fuck is going on in our living room,then I will go check things out myself " she said stubbornly ,she could not believe her own husband thinks she is making up cock and bull stories ,I mean who the hell wakes up in the night to tell a joke ??
' what a stubborn mutt' xander sighed
" OK , let's go together " he told her and held her hand they both walk out of the room making their way to the living room
"see for yourself dear wife,there is nothing like a baby neither can I hear any sound" Xander stood in the dark room and gestured for his wife to feel free to search the house .
"X-Xan...Xander " maria stuttered as she pointed to the couch
xander switched the lights on and turned to his wife when he saw her pale face and pointing at something on the couch ,his eyes followed her hand which was trembling , as soon as he saw the object laying comfortablely staring at them with big round green eyes he was shocked "h-h-how come"his sentence coming out in whispers ,a baby !!!
maria ran to the baby but before she could touch the mysterious child Xander held her arm and pulled her towards him she looked back at him with questions in her eyes "you don't even know how she got here and you just foolishly run to get her???are you nut ??" he was really angry ,women can be impossible at times " Xender ,can't you see her ,s-she needs comfort "maria looked back at the baby "she is a baby ,what harm can she be to us??"she asked innocently looking at her husband with pleading eyes
giggling* the baby was smiling at them ,waving her hands frantically ,maria smiled " she loves us " she told her husband . Xander looked at the strange baby for a while causing maria to escape from his tight grip and grabbed the cute baby hugging her tightly as if someone will snatch the child from her
Xander "....."
" do not be afraid " a weird voice sounded in the room ,maria ran towards her husband and stood behind him ,holding the baby to her chest like a protective mother hen
the woman was dressed in a white ancient robe ,her long black hair was below her knees ,she was pretty ,her skin was as white as the snow ,she smiled softly at them
" who are you??"Xander asked daringly
this is not the time to be scared after all he is a man and he must protect his wife
" I am palaniamma ,Goddess of the moon "her voice was soothing and pleasant to the ear ,her smile is as bright as the sun which could make anyone relax in her presence
