I HATE YOU, BUT
#49
David widened his eyes for a second after hearing it. Nia believes David thinks he's crazy and far-fetched but doesn't care. He wants to be loved, every woman must crave to be loved by the man she loves.
David is still staring. Freely he expected Sarah because the girl was married and had children, he heard it from one of his friends. Perhaps it was time he learned to love the girl who had been faithfully accompanying him for more than a year. He looked at Nia closely.
“It takes time to learn to love another girl,” David says quietly with their eyes staring at each other.
“I'm ready to wait,” reply Nia soft. David was so amazed at the way Nia said it. Highlighting his eyes, even his smile made David hypnotized. Nia gasped slowly David brought her face closer. He did not move at all precisely his eyes began to close welcoming the lips of the man slowly landed on his lips. His heart was moved and his happiness grew. This is his first kiss. Nia let David kiss her so deeply because he had long craved this. Even as the romance led to something more intimate, Nia accepted it with a feeling of happiness. Who would have thought that night would be her bridal night.

Nia's smile expands as the relationship between her and David improves. The man slowly opened his heart since they woke up in the same bed without a thread that morning. Nia would not forget her happiness when she opened her eyes that morning, she saw the handsome face of David lying next to her. Given what happened between them last night, Nia's cheeks flushed by itself. The news of Sarah is no longer mentioned and her married life is more perfect when the doctor says that she is pregnant. The news was published in local newspapers because after all their families were both famous families.
Nia thought David would refuse her pregnancy, who would have thought the man smiled and hugged her as he told her he was pregnant with his child. David pays extra attention to Nia during her nine months of pregnancy and when their child is born one spring day, how happy Nia was because it was the first time she saw David's happy face, really happy. Even the tears were in the corner of her eyes.
“She is very pretty isn't she?” Nia could only look at her husband who kept holding her newborn a few hours ago with smiling lips. David looked at her, then kissed her forehead deeply. Nia could feel the affection from that kiss.
“I love you, Nia. Thank you for giving me a daughter as beautiful as this.”
How excited Nia was to hear it. Should she wait until this long just to hear the phrase ‘I love you’ from her husband's mouth?
“I love you too.”
In the past, maybe he would not be willing to express love to a girl other than Sarah. But now, for whatever sake after seeing his own son, all the worry, hate, and frustration that had been holding his heart was gone instantly. He is now very happy because he can finally become a father. This baby is the most beautiful gift for him and his wife.
“What is the proper name for our child?” David asked his wife. Nia kissed the forehead of the baby she was holding before answering steadily.
“Alena Kezia's. I think it's the perfect name.”
David blinked his eyes. Alena Kezia's? Either this is just his feeling or Nia is deliberately giving their child a name with a very appropriate blend.
