NO HARM

     NO HARM   CHAPTER ONE(LOVE BIRDS)            "I made the right decision, with you,we can walk through Firestones and still look at the beautiful stars shine at night" Lillian stared at her handsome husband and gently left the bed,her sleepy husband mumbled something in his sleep. The morning fits the mood for the newly weds.         Mark woke up,he rolled sideways and squeezed his pillow while yawning,he jumped out of the bed and removed his white t-shirt. The door to the bathroom was open,he could see the nape of Lillian's neck,she did this on purpose to have a cool morning bathe with her husband. He entered the bathe tub with his left foot,checking if the water was warm and it was.   "Good morning sweets,why don't wash my back and I'll yours" Lillian gave a seductive wink and smile.     "You know its scractch my back and I'll s

CHAPTER THREE(shackles)      Lillian was cooking in the kitchen when Mark walked in,he took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and poured water in a glass,he didn't drink the water,he placed it on top of the table at the centre of the kitchen.       "What are we going to do on our second wedding anniversary? Candlelight dinner or a small night party?". He asked Lillian. Their second wedding anniversary was just around the corner,Mark noticed his wife has been lost in her thoughts recently.          " none,let's just live it like every normal day.  Lillian have been too busy thinking about babies,at first she didn't want to rush but now it has been two years and she haven't even had a miscarriage. What is nice but is annoying to her is that her husband doesn't even pressure her for children.         "Sweets,what's wrong? you've been acting too moody these days,we

Mending challenges   LILLIAN      I remember my childhood days,an average family, fighting strong could be used to define my family then. There were times when it was just too hard and my mom would cry all night,she would pray to God from mid night to morning. She was a single mom trying to save her kids from this harsh world. I was very angry while growing up,I didn't have a dad,he died when I was four years old. I let the fact that I didn't have a father border me,"things would have been better if we had one".         My mom tried her best playing dual roles,it wasn't easy taking care of three children single handedly. My younger sister always said she wanted to be like mom. I thought life was so unfair to us,at some point, I was so ungrateful. One day while coming back from church, I saw my classmate and her family being thrown out of  their house,I remember how the landlord locked the door and

CHAPTER SIX(ONE WITH SECRETS)     Lillian sat down in the living room,she was watching something in her phone and smiling. Mark walked in,looking stressed. Before,Lillian would rush to him,kiss him and unbutton his shirt but it was just a "welcome home".           Lillian received a text from her mother in law,she wanted to have lunch the next day. She was trying to be nice but to Lillian it was "pressuring" to her. Mark sat close to her,the night was cool and so was the bed,a bed that was supposed to be warm.     "You know, I had dinner with your mom,she wants to mend our relationship. I'm having lunch with her tomorrow". Even when and after Lillian spoke, Mark just kept reading the magazine in his hands,he didn't reply her.     " You know I said something right? Lillian asked sitting close to him,holding his hands to get his attention.     " I hop

     CHAPTER EIGHT(DARK CURTAIN)        The main door of the house opened,Lillian walked in. The sitting room was nice,neatly arranged. The house looked empty. She walked to the kitchen,the utensils were neat and arranged. Even her room was neat,it was as if the house never needed her. She sat on the bed and it was cold.           How can love be like this? Why did she leave her home for another woman to walk in? Why can't she tell her husband that she can't have a baby. She remembered the day she saw Jay taking photos of little kids,some with mud on their face.        " I can't have a baby,I wasn't interested in having one before,but I suddenly became obsessed with having one and years passed without us Having children and my husband didn't say anything. When we were newly weds,he talked about it a lot but suddenly he stopped,he didn't Even allow us visit a doctor." Lillian pau
