Chapter six [ The mindsets]

                                      Chapter six [The mindsets]

        David could not comprehend how his lovely and pretty wife had managed to maintain her purity at the age of 26. Typically, young adolescent girls have experiences already having sexual contact with male inmates soon after they have their first menstrual period in western nations. But Daniele made herself different and he rarely met a pretty, educated woman.

        For David, Daniele deserves a lavish wedding celebration, which he failed to provide because he had made promises to her parents due to the ongoing disputes and issues surrounding his mother's illness. How he wished to give Daniele the entire world in order to ensure a bright future for her and her children. At this point, when he needed his family's support the most, they were all going through unimaginable hardship.

        Danielle is not aware of David's situation, despite the fact that she already senses that he is going through difficulties. David refuses to allow himself to be overcome by these kinds of obstacles because of his genuine faith and confidence in the Living Almighty God, who will give him the wisdom to teach him the ways and means to survive.

         "Perhaps, I should learn to tolerate those women claiming for him. It added to his miseries. David doesn't like me to be inquisitive which leads him to more serious struggles," Danielle muses as she notices David frequently hurrying away after he lays next to her, making serious justifications that he must work hard for her and for our future children. Danielle's desire to find a job keeps creeping into her thoughts as a way to assist David financially.

         Daniele responds as she assumes David will accept because he has been in financial instability, "Honey, I am pleased to inform you that I received a job call from the office where I applied long before we met.”

      “They'll be thinking, "We're pleased to see gorgeous women in our office. You're such a beautiful woman and we embrace you instantly." David incredibly rejected Daniele's proposition when he asked her, "What do you prefer? Tell me! Do you value your family more than money? David offered Daniele a choice.

         Daniele decided to marry David to have her own children and family. She left everything including her parents, friends, and career when she decided to open her heart to David and learned to love him wholeheartedly. She started to suffer now.

          She has no food sometimes and she needs to keep the money tight that David gave in order that both ends meet.  “Is this the reality of married life? I'm so bored at home doing nothing but waiting for your return, Honey!" Daniele frequently asks herself after David makes love to her, fulfills his husbandly duties, and then rushes off to work hard. When David shows up, Daniele says with excitement.

      "Honey, look! Daniele instantly gets a dry towel to wipe his sweat as soon as she notices David stripping off his clothes and making himself nude in front of her. She rapidly opens the electric fans to provide air and refresh him. She also makes the bedding and the house clean and orderly so that he would be at ease.

      "How could he respond if I told him I wanted to obtain a job? David becomes enraged and smacks Daniele in the face with cash from his pocket, saying, "Is this what you want? " Daniele has thought things through and has the guts to say it now. David is furious. “You just wanted money, right? Take everything here, then! ”

       David loses all sense of reason and disdain in the face of Daniele's good intentions. However, she soon finds that she is now seven months pregnant and is eager to give birth to her first child as David makes it a point to send her for a gynecologist check-up for a healthy pregnancy.

         "How could you work with a child? Inform me! ” David is afraid as Daniele stays silent tears running and flowing to her checks. She doesn’t want David to touch her as she refuses to go closer to him.

        David's heart is touched by his love for Danielle as he quickly grabs Danielle and wraps his entire arms around her body. Danielle struggles against him and pulls him away, but David's strength and courage overcome Daniele's continual wriggling.

       It seems that her baby inside her womb is telling her to calm down and relax because it affects her. Danielle feels David's love and cares for her and for her baby inside her wombs as he refuses to let her work and resists the circumstances. She lost her strength as her baby inside her wombs started to react as she felt tense the baby stretches and hardened into a stiff or rigid sensation.

        David buys Daniele healthy fruits and bread with cheese and butter. He gives her money to buy multivitamin supplements for pregnant women. He does his best as he makes every effort to give Daniele assurance and security with his promises and provisions. David chooses to make love to Daniele in order to make her feel his intense desire to care for her and her unborn child.

      Days later,” Do some paperwork for me and help me to manufacture handicrafts for our new business this holiday season," David said as Danielle coerced him into accepting it in order to help him earn and have cash. "You also started to buy our baby's clothes and do some sewing and embroidery," he added. David asks Daniele who’s unable to refuse anymore but to agree.

         Daniele loves David and she misses him terribly when he’s out to earn money from his handicraft business. She feels pity for him as she sees him working hard and no more time for himself to wash his body and dress properly.”Is this how married life would be? Danielles' inquiries are still unanswered.

       ”Perhaps, I should accept that this is actually a life of a married and pregnant woman whose husband is like David.”Daniele murmur. As she accepts the situation, Daniele started to enjoy serenity and joy as David came every day to prove how much he loves and cares for her.

       One day, Danielle meets her younger, pregnant neighbor who shares a home with a Pakistani man. She tells Danielle numerous tales while Danielle quietly listens, and she even introduces Danielle to her boyfriend.

     The young pregnant woman appears to be struggling financially as well, but Daniele intends to listen to her until she gives birth to her baby boy. David started to remind Daniele to stay out of intrigues and avoid commenting on whatever the young mother said. Recently, the lady has been making fun of Daniele because of her silence and tolerance because she believes Daniele will say something negative about David.

        “You don't complain because you play as holy and hypocritical, and I'm not a hypocrite like you, the lady responded. "If you love your husband and your baby, you should bear to face whatever consequences and circumstances arise on your route to family life."

       David made the decision to relocate Daniele to another neighborhood in the city in order to get rid of the young woman who was mocking Daniele's way of life and appeared eager to torment trouble for them in the three-story building they rented.

       "Now, honey, I can show you that I'll be by your side constantly and that I'm prepared to defend you and our child from trespassers and troublemakers. Just believe me, honey, because I love you! ”  David explains softly as they embrace.

        David finds peace and comfort when Daniele learns to be obedient and understanding in all situations. David frequently shares with Daniele the ups and downs of his early years with his parents. Daniele also learns to deal with difficult, adventurous, and unpredictable life circumstances..

      And Daniele thinks about David's tenacity to face challenging circumstances in life.   This helps Daniele to accept life and love David even more than before. He even mentioned the time when his mother was left alone by his own father in Bavaria and he had to eat rotten potatoes in order to fill out his empty aching stomach cravings for foods to eat.

       The new surroundings in the city seem favorable to Daniele. The hospital is just a walking distance of their apartment. And Daniele's plan has been settled to go quickly to the hospital once she experiences abrupt disturbances and abnormalities in her pregnancy. David makes it a point that Daniele will not suffers so much from his constant absence in her life as her due date to give birth is almost close.

        David does not know Daniele's thoughts regarding her new neighbor. If he finds out, David probably transferred Daniele again to get rid of the intriguing neighbor. Daniele has a new neighbor who works in the hospital as a midwife. Daniele muses as she quickly plans to give birth at home because she has a midwife neighbor.

        But Daniele maintains peace with all her neighbors who has their own live-in partner. And David feels comfortable and relaxed when Daniele remains loving and does her duty as his own wife.
