Chapter 27: Chapter 27
Adrian
"She was one of your friends in college who died recently." Her lips were wrapped in a thin line as she writes to me the reply in her mobile. Why would Christina have hatred for a woman who already left this world? Well, women and jealousy are two sides of the same coin which compete with each other on who is the first. I bit my tongue to arrest a snicker that was about to fall my lips and peck the rims of my wife bending her head while I lay peaceful in her lap.
Ria clucks from the nipple after getting nursed and was in full swing no sooner her little tummy was full. She extends both her tiny hands to me exposing her toothless baby grin. Chris buttons her shirt and leaves to the kitchen to make us dinner before kissing both our foreheads.
I take a little bit of baby oil in my palms and rub it in between my hands. Brushing away the baby hairs from her face I put my princess in my lap to massage her swollen red leg. "I am so sorry my sunshine daddy will take care of himself. He promises you that he will never hurt you again." My voice chokes as I speak to my child.
Looking at my cracking form my daughter inverts her lips about to cry and I bring her little body to my chest patting her back. She lays her tiny hand on my cheek displaying back her baby smile and I kiss her chubby cheeks in sweet chuckles.
Hearing a clap from downstairs I look down from the staircase. Chris smiles and points to the dining table. The delicious smell of mouth watering eateries drifted off in air. The dining table was decorated with dainty dishes of mashed potatoes with garlic sauce, hot brown roasted meat gravy with vegetables and fruit custard. "You are simply superb, a beautiful woman with patience and skill in every field you step into." I compliment my wife kissing her cheek.
"One of the important clients from China was ready to offer us a considerable profit margin in the country at a reasonable price and I'm very excited to note with the statistics, we will be the leaders of communication industry in the country." Chris gives me the information writing on a piece of paper with a smile of thousand watts.
"Great" I hug my deserving wife with a heart filled in pride and happiness. Within two days Chris can hear and speak. As I repeat the blissful news in my mind, my nub dances in exhilaration. There has been a lot of coaxing to go on accompanied with a flow of promises. I assured her I will not try to look into the store rooms of the house and recollect my memories at least till she returns from the hospital. I would take care of myself and also the baby.
Mom and dad were worried after they heard about my accident in the house and the pain our princess suffered because of me. They offered me to support us when Chris would be admitted in the hospital. The news has relieved my wife to a lot extant.
The cochlear implant is a device designed for the deaf. It is made up of two parts – a small implant that is surgically placed under the skin of the ear and an external device that sits behind the ear with which a person can hear and obviously speak.
The surgery became a cent percent success. Dad was with Chris while mom stayed with me to help with the baby. "Hello my little princess, ready for bath?" I ask my cute baby after she has her small nap in the morning. She plays her hands putting one of the fists in her mouth. I take out her hand gently from her mouth to remove her baby pink onsie. She makes air bubbles between her little pink lips and spits on my face.
"Oh, that's very naughty...." I wipe her lips with baby wipes. "Has anyone done that instead of you, daddy would have taught them a lesson they would remember for life." She makes some baby sounds as though she understood me and made another bubble. I make a face and blew raspberries on her soft little belly. She lands to full blown smiles and I bring her for a bath.
Using a baby bath sponge I clean her face and soft baby hairs. Making use of a cleanser I clean her hands, legs and tummy. Wiping her clean and dry in a soft baby towel, I hand her to my mother. "My little grand baby all set to meet her mother?" Mama asks Ria as she picks her up.
Dressed a pink cotton frock with a matching hair band, shoes and socks my princess looked as pretty as a fairy. "Sunshine you are so beautiful. Daddy is going to have a tough time in protecting you from all the philanderers in the world." I kiss her cheeks and bring her to our parking lot. Christina is going to get discharged today and she is going to speak to me for the first time in our lives. I'm excited to see her, is much an understatement for the happiness about to blast out of my heart.
Mom follows us to the car along with a baby bag. I hand over our baby to her and start the engine in smiles. "Adrian?" Mom pats my arm and smiles quizzical but then understands everything within a second. Well, she is my mother and can intercept what goes in the inside of me before the word falls out of my rims. "I am excited too to hear my daughter-in-law speak for the first time." Mom cheers playing with Ria in her arms.
No sooner do I enter the room of Chris, the doctor walks inside. "Hello Christina how are you?" Chris smiles and nods to him. He flashes a light in her throat followed by her ears and nods. Pressing his fingers lightly at the beginning of her throat where her vocal chords situate he speaks. "Well Christina your surgery was a complete success. You can speak now like any one of us. Try speaking small words." He encourages patting her shoulder.
Chris looks at me with tensed eyes. I walk to her bed where she was sitting with our princess in my arm. "Speak Chris, you can do it." I embolden her tipping her chin up to look into my eyes. She gulps inaudible, stares at me anxious and tries. "Aa...Adrian"
"Oh Chris, my love, my baby...." Holding out Ria to my mother, I circle my arms, pull my wife to a hug. "Ooh" I yell in happiness and lifted her in my arms. "You make me the happiest man on earth. You can speak now." I rather say it to myself going ecstatic and sway her around in the hospital room with a huge smile crossing my face. Our happiness was very contagious making the doctor, my parents and hospital staff goes in smiles.
"Adrian I love you so much." Chris holds the sides of my face in her palms. "I wanted to tell you the words since the time I met you." She smiles scintillated. "Of course love, I love you too." We were in our excited bubble forgetting the world around us when the doctor moves back and pats my shoulder. "Congratulations! Mr and Mrs Martin, wish you a very happy life." He nods and leaves us with the privacy.
Dad who was the silent spectator till then walks to us and pats my shoulder in a smile. "Enjoy your day my son, now there is no looking back in your life." He runs his hands softly on Chris's head to her back looking at her with warmth but this time Chris reciprocates him in speech instead of a salute to greet. "Dad" she mutters emotional slipping from my arms and hugs him.
Mom comes to Chris and pats her cheeks. "I am very happy for you Sweety.... For today night this little Angel will stay with us in our house." She kisses Ria's cheeks and walks out of the room with dad.
We walk to the parking lot smiling like two crazy teenagers. My hands were itching to touch her. She is my wife, was my fiancée for the last three years yet everything between us felt like it was the first time. Her sweet feminine scent that wafted in the air brought every nerve in my body go on a haywire. My finger tips gently brush her fragile hands and a jolt of electricity passed my skin.
The car has hardly stopped and we run inside the house giggling and smiling. This was finally the beginning of the ineffable life which, ably assisted by fate, I craved into being. I touched Chris's hot skin with the utmost piety in tiny sips. It was a moment of sweet wetness and trembling fire in our hearts. Both of us rasp in our breaths as we look into each other eyes in a yearning hunger.
"You are so beautiful love." I run the tips of my fingers from soft cheeks to the seam of her lips nibbling pinching and playing them. "What are you waiting for?" She asks me reflecting thirst in her eyes as I look down at her. I knew it was an innocent feeling on her part but who am I to stop her and not to give what she wanted? I pressed my mouth hard on hers. Her lips were extremely salacious with the peppermint taste of her saliva.
My hands move down to her soft breasts teasing the buds that go protruding under my touch. Carrying her bridal style we reach the bedroom. I unbutton her shirt followed by her bra and just like that both of us go completely naked on the bed.
My hands message her busty melons sucking nibbling and playing them. "Oh yeah, that's lovely!" Chris compliments slightly raising her upper body. I held her hand and guided it to my shaft. “Do you like watching porn?" Yes she said, her breath coming more quickly. I flicked her clitoris, eliciting a gasp from her parted lips. "That's the bud I want you to play for a really long time."
I opened the drawer and pulled out a condom. "Ria is still young or do you want..." My further words die down as Chris pulls me down for a violent smack. "I want your mouth to work in there." She points to her feminism. "rather than waste time in speech." I raised both my brows in surprise and slipped my tongue between her cleft, seeking out that sweet button, teasing it until she couldn’t keep her moans behind her teeth.
We make love repeatedly in the kitchen, sitting hall and now in our walk-in closet. I clear the articles pushing them down from the rack while I handle the vulva of Chris when a stack of photos fall on the floor. The same girl's picture from past week hits in display and this time my dizziness tugs in its maximum spin bringing me to blackness in seconds.
