The Deficiency

DAN'S POV

"Mum please, don't start" Dan said in a rather mild tone

"Get me a child, it's all I ask"....."I never liked her from the beginning"

"Mum" Dan said with a sigh "I don't like it when I call for us to have a normal conversation, you bring this up…. We just got married, give us time please" Dan was getting upset

"Are you telling at your mother?"

"Why would I do that, time is all I ask"

"You better get me a child before I die" Dan's mum said with a commanding tone and hung up

"Mum can be a pain in the ass sometimes" He laughed suprised at the hang up

"She wouldn't listen" Dan's voice thickened with irritation "I told her not to touch my shirt, but…." he stood up and went to the living room with so much anger

"Babe" he screamed

"Yes" Betty's voice echoed from the kitchen "What's wrong" she ran out quickly to get a hold of what happened

"Why did you tamper with my shirt like this?" he went closer to show her how she tampered with it "I…." He paused and sighed

"I am really sorry babe, I thought you wouldn't go to work with this anymore, because you brought another one out"

"Did I specifically tell you that I would not wear this?, so that's why you stained it"

"I am sorry babe, really… I won't tamper with your cloth again" Betty went close to rub her hands around his chest

"You buy cloths but you won't wear them, you keep wearing mine, what's the meaning of that for christ sake"

"It's because I love you" Betty gave a soft smile to quench his anger

"Is that so?" Dan smiled back

"Yes hubby"

"Mum called" Dan said going back to the room

"Give me a child" Betty whispered with her eyes rolled

"She sends her regards" He wanted to see her reaction

"Your mum that wish me dead" Betty did not allow him finish up his statement

"Get ready in about four hours" Dan raised hus voice

"For what?" Betty asked with curiosity

"I want to spoil you tonight" Dan was ready in the living room

"I love the sound of that" Betty danced with her brows

"I am gonna make those legs beg for mercy, we are going to our favourite spot first" Dan carried his car keys to head for work

"OK" Betty walked to him quickly "Take care of yourself, I love you"

"I love you too"

Their first date was terrible, embarrassing but they maintained their stoicism.

"What?"

"Nothing, it's just that no man has ever touched me before" Betty was closing her legs tightly

So gone are those days

"OK, we don't have to rush, we have all the time in the world" Dan said

"Offcourse we do" Betty stood to go

"So soon?"

"My mum is coming back home early today, I can't afford a slight chance of her getting there before me, besides we are not married yet" Betty said walking away

"Gone are those days mehn" Dan said

"When she was still a good girl" Wilson laughed "it's just that no man has ever touched me before" he mimicked Betty

"Don't talk about my wife like that Wilson" Dan was trying to compress his laughter

"Guy, your wife changed ooo…. In fact she has transit" Willson wanted to laugh but he thought better after seeing the expression on Dan's face

"Stop talking about her Wilson

, we are here" Dan slowed down

"Work" Wilson groaned

"We would all be fine" Dan reassured Wilson

"I love your optimism Dan, I really do"

"Go jor, we would talk much later after work" Dan paused "Or after spending quality time with my wife"

"So you choose her over me" Wilson smiled and shakes him goodbye

"Choose who over who?She is my wife, my treasure, what are you talking about?"

Willson was a man of many jokes, his words were never taken to heart even if it was directed there.

He is a childhood friend of Dan, they have known each right from birth. They did literally everything together

Wilson never lost his kindness and optimism even after the brutal murder of his father, but the hate was lying there

"It was the worst moment of my life" Was all he said, he hated that date and month every year keeps reminding him of that, but Dan stood by him, he was always there for him.

Things got a little tough for Wilson, he could barely feed himself or his mother….. The only son

"He is a man of rock with a golden heart of an egg"

"Dan… where did you hear that phrase from?" Betty laughed over the phone

"Do you underestimate your husband?" Dan laughed " He could join us for dinner"

"He is always welcome"

"Alright, I wanted to let you know before coming home with him… but he is only staying for dinner, afterwards he goes" Dan specified

"OK babe"

Dan hung up to continue his work

Betty never allow the thought of deficiency leave her, it disturbed her to know that she might never have a child of her own. But like the kind of person she is, who hides her pain. Never showed it. Even when Dan's mum came over and treated her like she was an animal, Betty did her thing

Her legs were wide open to some men, she hopes to stand a chance to her child

"What have I done wrong?" This was her constant question to herself "Even after seeking professional help?, I might have to consider other options"

Betty was lucky to have a man like Dan, he loved her even when his mum uttered evil things about her, or even more. Dan doesn't deserve someone like Betty, she had some devious things going around

But things was the beginning of her journey, her never ending journey with mysery at every end of the game to begin another

"I might have to consider other options" She repeated with a smile
