Rebekah smiled. Her face was showing half-crying and half-smiling. Tears were racing down her cheeks. Ashdod seemed to be giving her new hope. A new reason to pursue a happy life despite circumstances.They started to date. Their everyday lives became exciting as they enjoyed each other’s company. They were together almost the whole day, but they still longed for the next day to arrive and spend another day together. A year passed. Another year came, and the two decided to tie the knot. Their wedding was set according to Rebekah’s choice of date. She asked for a garden wedding a month before the first harvest of their vineyard.It was a grand celebration, but only a few chosen friends were invited aside from the people that worked for the Blacks. There were already a few hundred attendees, including their families, so Rebek
Ashdod was not complaining. He enjoys everything they do in bed, and even though lately he had to fake his orgasm and release behind Rebekah's back with the warmth of his own hands, Ashdod did not mind. He has his wife right next to him. He knew their current situation would get better. And he is looking forward to the brighter days in their married life.Until Rebekah caught him doing so.She felt so devastated and incompetent to be Ashdod's wife. The deceiving thoughts of her becoming more worthless as a wife and the frustrating realization that she can't even bear a child normally and properly like every married woman is expected to affected her health in so many ways as depression became overwhelming despite her eagerness to stay positive. Rebekah blamed herself for all the shortcomings and disappointments she had been as a wife, daughter, and grandda
“Now I know why this place is called mystical!” Rebekah exclaimed as she smiled joyfully. She turned her face to look at her husband. “I love this place, honey…!”Ashdod felt his eyes mist as it had been so long since he last saw his wife smiled as serene as how he could see her right at the moment. He walked close to his wife and hugged her from her back as they both reveled at the night beauty they could see. The moonlight was so bright that they only noticed it now after the car’s headlights were turned off along with its engine. The trees were like artificial Christmas trees on a yuletide season where tiny lights are twinkling around them, but this time, it was the rarely seen in the cities, even in their farm and vineyards, because the lights were from nature; the fireflies! “So beautiful…” Ashdod was equally enthralled at the inexplicable magnificence of the surroundings. “Is that a trail I see…?” he asked in wonder as he saw a pathway illuminated by the fireflies as if leadin
“I am only trying to return the love you have been so selflessly giving me all this time,” Rebekah replied as she slowly stripped her clothes off of her right before her husband’s heated gaze. “I love the people you love. I value everything you value, although I am sure sometimes I disappoint you in many ways than I could ever count. One is failing to provide you a child, and the second is wishing I’d be gone so you could start anew, but I want to tell you that it’s also because I love you so much that I am doing all of those stupid thoughts….” Rebekah chuckled softly. “Heaven knows how much I want to stay beside you. I greed to feel more of your sweet love. I used to think I could risk everything in me, even my life, just to have a child for you. But I also realized I would be giving you a miserable life if I leave you behind with responsibility only a mother could provide.”Ashdod stood there watching his wife with so much adoration in his eyes. He could feel tears rolling down his
Rebekah and Ashdod spent a lovely night, or maybe the loveliest among all they had ever shared in their entire married lives. From the waterfalls, where they spent almost a few hours soaking in the water. They made love and snuggled still in the mystical waterfall with the sparkling lights from the tiny flying creatures that had been their company the whole time. Only to make love again, next to the falling water where Rebekah leaned her body, front then back, on the rock as Ashdod made love to her with so much passion. Only soft moans and groans left their lips as they express the sweet sensation they felt out of their passionate oneness with nature surrounding them. The couple was in no hurry or distress as they proved their adoration for each other. Rather, their hearts were desperately trying and doing their very best to convey the purity and sincerity of their claimed and declared love. “I love you so much…” Ashdod softly stated as they swim from the side rocks where the water
“Honey, I am willing to submit to whatever you decide we do, except for the wish being granted,” Rebekah made her words clear for Ashdod to hear. “Let’s ask our health advisers what to do,” Ashdod replied. “And thank you…”Ashdod could not verbally express his gratitude that Rebekah was so considerate as to decline the wish being granted knowing someone had to pay for it. He was not sure he could argue with Rebekah about it had she said she was willing to pursue the wish being granted despite what needed to be given back in return for it. He was feeling too emotional that his wife was so sensible and indeed kind-hearted.“Your family is also mine. If you lose any one of them, it is the same with me. So, I didn’t just do it for you, honey,” Rebekah playfully answered. “It might be the case, but I still want to say thank you. I owe you so much with so many things,” the husband reached his hand to caress the wife’s face. “And I love you more… I even think I am drawing in your love…” As
The child Rebekah and Ashdod had found on the side road turned out to be a boy as they changed his nappies. It remained a puzzle for the couple that no matter how they tried to look around, they did not find any person who would have been looking for their child missing. The couple did not do more than look around to find the possible parents of the child. They also feared being fooled by people who would falsely claim as the child’s parents. Or even finding the biological parents and sending the baby back to those who had once abandoned him already. Ashdod and Rebekah were not familiar with the place, the area, and anything about this part of the map was a place they had only been because the navigation system was set to take them there, and all they had to do was punch in their home address to get back. “We cannot be sure if we would be doing the right thing to return this child to his parents only to be abandoned again. What if the next person to find him would not care the way
“Mom, I’m at the shop now. Did you want me to buy just scented candles?” Lexy asked her mom over the phone. Alona was surprised to see the caller id showed it was her daughter’s name and phone number as to how she had saved her contact info in her phonebook. She was sure Lexy had told her that the young lady had lost her phone due to what happened last night on her way to Marlyn’s place. “Honey, didn’t you say you need to buy a new phone because someone smashed your phone to the ground?” Alona asked back instead of answering Lexy’s question. “Ahhh, yeah, I did say that,” Lexy chuckled, then she continued. “I met Marlyn today, and when he heard about what happened to his neighborhood last night, he called my number to make sure I was safe, and the person who found my phone answered his call. They met, and Marlyn got my phone to give me back. So, I have it with me now. And not broken like it wasn’t smashed anywhere on the ground,” Lexy cheerfully told her mom in full detail. Alona j
