SAVING MY MARRIAGE

SAVING MY MARRIAGE CHAPTER 7

Chapter 7 (My Fate)

" Doctor said you have 'Anovulatory Infertility'" Tony said trembling

The moment the words "Anovulatory Infertility" escaped Tony's trembling lips, the world around me spun like a tornado, the floor giving way beneath my feet.

Unable to process the news, my body gave in to the overwhelming sorrow, my mind fading into darkness. The beeping of machines and the rush of medical staff brought me back to consciousness, a sterile white ceiling greeting me as I opened my eyes.

My heart ached with a deep sense of hopelessness as tears rolled down my cheeks, the pain of my fears and troubles overwhelming my mind.

"Why me?" I muttered

Tony's gentle hand brushed through my hair, a warm and tender gesture of compassion and comfort. I turned to face him, his sympathetic gaze meeting mine

"I'm here for you," he murmured softly.

"Tony...." I whispered, my voice breaking with emotion "what if I can't have a child?, what we become of us?" I said as tears trickled down my face.

"We will face whatever comes together, I will be here with you every step of the way" He said softly,his voice gentle and understanding.

My fears, my pains, I looked upward as tears streamed down my face. Tony reached out for his handkerchief, gently wiping the tears from my cheeks.

The words "Why me?" echoed through my heart, bouncing around like a ball in a pinball machine, each ricochet a piercing reminder of my turmoil. The storm of life seemed to rage around me, the winds of fate threatening to uproot my very existence.

I felt alone, adrift in a sea of uncertainty, my future as murky as the clouds that obscured the sun. "Where does my fate lie?" I wondered, my mind searching for answers in the vast expanse of unanswered questions.

I wish I could see God, I had a billion and one hundred questions to ask him. "Why...me"?...

"I don't know if I birthed an unfortunate child" the word echoed in my ears, and pieced through my heart. Mum's word resonated.

Clutching my cloth tightly around my neck, I crumbled onto the bed, my tears flowed freely.

The only thing left in me was tears. Exhausted and numb, I fell into a fitful sleep.

**************

I prepared myself for work, I had accepted my fate, my husband was on the couch looking somber, since he was unable to console me, he had left me alone. On sighting me he flinched. perhaps taken aback by the change in my demeanor.

"Good morning babe" I said with a broad smile and he stare at me with a wide eyes.

You expect me to cry for ever? No! I had accepted my fate.

Tony rose from the couch, walking towards me with a look of tenderness in his eyes. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close in a warm and reassuring embrace.

"Everything will be fine" he murmured, offering me a sense of comfort and hope. "I'm here for you, no matter what," he added, his voice a gentle whisper against my ear.

"I'm hungry," I said, and Tony smiled at me, his lips curving upward in a gesture of love and understanding.

He led me to the dinning table and we had breakfast.

I left for work and Tony kept distracting me with calls, checking if I was really okay.

He stopped by my office to pick me up after the close of work.

"My queen" he said with a bow as he opened the car door for me. The ride home was fun as Tony kept doing things that made me laugh.

When we got home, as I was about to step out of the car, Tony held me back and stared at my lips while licking his own seductively. I was not quite in the mood for this but I couldn't utter a word. In a blink on an eye, I found his lips locked on mine, and I gave in.

Gasping for breath, we pulled away from each other, our hearts pounding in unison. Tony adjusted his seat, as he drew me towards him. With a slow and deliberate thrust, he entered me. His hands gripping my hips as I let out a soft moan, my lips parting slightly to reveal a hint of desire and pleasure.

As our bodies moved together in a tender rhythm, my worries melted away, replaced by the unbridled passion that flared between us.

I clung tightly to Tony as he thrust deeper into me, my moans growing louder with every movement. As the intensity of our lovemaking grew, I felt a sense of release and comfort that I hadn't felt in a long time..
