That Doctor Is Mine

“A-what the heck, Davien! You’re kidding me. People are watching!” Avah lightly slapped her husband’s chest. Davien just laughed at her reaction.

“No. I want to walk this way. I want people to know how much I’m into you. I love you.” Davien leaned his face towards Avah forcing his own face away. “Try to avoid my kiss and you’ll fall. Stay still.”

“Davien take me down! It’s embarrassing!”

“I love you.” Davien repeated.

“Davien, one! Take me down.”

“I told you that I love you. Aren’t you saying anything?” Davien’s insistence.

“Davien take me down, please.”

“I thought I heard you said you loved me last night? I want to hear it again.” Davien continued walking while the wife did.

They have been looking at each other for years which Avah deliberately misses.

“I love you, Davien. I love you so much. Take me down, please.”

With a mischievous smile, Davien put Avah back on her feet.

“I love you so much too.” Davien said then he stolen one quick kiss from Avah. For the nth time today, Avah’s eyes shot open.

Davien took Avah inside a clothing store. Davien bought a couple red shirts. What is stamped here is I love my wife so much and I love my husband very much. It also has a split heart and cute bride and groom stickers. The two changed clothes and walked around the park holding hands.

Avah took Davien to the tutorial vendor. At first Davien first questioned the hygiene of the food. Instead of getting angry, the old vendor smiled at them.

“You taste first. It’s delicious.” The vendor said to Davien because he thought he didn’t understand Tagalog. He tried isaw-isaw, blood, lard and quack-quack. Davien didn’t expect to be able to consume too much of it. And he was surprised because the amount he ate was only P200. Cheap for him because he has a lot of money in the bank, but for the average person it is expensive.

After they ate they played some game machines. Davien bought P200 worth of tokens and all of that ended in nothing because they did not find any dolls inside the fraudulent machine.

“Fine! I will buy on my own!” Davien shouted at the machine when he was irritated by its deception.

When they rested on the wooden bench in the mini forest of the park, Avah grabbed the mother’s necklace again. Davien squeezed next to Avah and looked at the antique necklace.

“What’s that?” Davien asked.

With a smile on her lips, Avah said “my real mother’s necklace.”

“Jacintha? Like the veteran actress Ms. Jancitha Castillo?” Davien read the name on the necklace and compared it to the only one known by the same name. “I thought she abandoned you? Why do you seem so happy to remember her?”

“Because she’s still my mother, Davien. Even though I didn’t know her, I know she loves me as her child.” Said Avah in her sweetest voice. “Are you Papa Nicholas? He’s looking for you, Davien. He’s still your father.”

“Let’s not talk about him, Avah.” Davien avoids parental conversation.

“Davien, there is no parent who doesn’t love their child. You have to forgive dad. Imagine you don’t exist if it weren’t for him. And if you didn’t, I wouldn’t be this happy. I can’t be with you, I won’t be the mother of your child. . Everything that happens has a reason. And think if the pope hadn’t done that, we wouldn’t have known each other. And if I hadn’t met you, I probably wouldn’t know how to love. ”

Davien looks at Avah. She really possess a quality of a nun. Good to talk and reassure.

“I love you, Avah. Promise me that we will never break apart. You are all I need.” He caressed her cheeks.

“I love you too, Davien. I promise we won’t break up.” She smiled at him and this time, Avah initiated the kiss.

For three weeks, the couple’s life went smoothly. Every weekends, Davien and Avah are busy decorating the room of their unborn baby. Divina has already bought hundreds of unisex clothes, nipples, toys, cribs and other baby items.

They were a happy couple now. There’s a time when before going to sleep, Davien rubs Avah’s big belly. She’s four months pregnant now. Dr. Talaveda said in the second trimester of pregnancy-months 4, 5, and 6-the baby’s fingers and toes are well-defined. The eyelids, eyebrows, eyelashes, nails, and hair are formed, and teeth and bones are becoming denser. Their baby can even suck his or her thumb, yawn, stretch, and make faces. Davien was even more excited by that statement by his mother Rosana.

Their first date was still followed. Once every night Davien brings out Avah. He takes it to beautiful places, they eat outside, walk holding hands. Every morning because Davien is at work so at night he recovers to take care of his wife and child. Davien doesn’t seem to know how to get tired because he is able to be a doctor, Avah’s husband and father of their future child at the same time.

Davien has also decided to forgive his father. That”s because of Avah. She made Davien realized how important parents are. And if he wants to be a good father to his future child, isn’t it only right that he be a good child first?

Sunday morning when suddenly a delivery arrived at their house. This is a classic piano that Davien arranged in the living room of the house. He bought it for his wife. When she gets bored, she can play. Besides, listening to classic music can make the development of their baby better, that’s what Rosana said to the child.

Today, Monday afternoon, Avah adjusted herself. She wore a maternity dress and flat shoes. She tied her long black hair high. Davien sends her to a place called Home of Love. Avah asked why Davien replied that they would attend a private parenting session. As instructed by Avah, she took the two tickets that were stored in their drawer, Davien bought them just last Saturday.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

On the other hand, Davien was ready to leave the hospital when the patient arrived just in time. They are victims of the fire. In the number of casualties there was a shortage of doctors in the Emergency Department. The sudden happenings prevent Davien from leaving and meeting his wife.

Davien ran to the Emergency Room and quickly changed clothes. He attended on the patients and at the speed of events, he no longer remembered to notify Avah that he could not come. He stayed in the operating room and save lives.

Avah waited on the place. He was outside the building and waiting on the bench. She’s been sitting there for like two hours and she’s been looking around for a while. Her eyes searched for Davien. Even the passing cars are waiting for him. He was depressed to wait. Even her call was not answered by her husband. As soon as she sat down, Avah stood up and repeated.

Across the road, there was Noah. His car broke down and he fixed it now in the workshop just near where he was.

“What time will you fixed my car?” Noah asks.

“Give us two hours, sir. We will attend on it immediately.” Promise of the workers there.

“Alright. Two hours then.” Noah said then he left the studio. He came out of the establishment when he saw Avah pacing back and forth as his neck stretched out on the road.

He already accepts the fact that Avah can never be his, but it’s probably not bad if he wants her to be a close friend isn’t it? Noah was once disgusted with destiny. Why does he still need to meet Avah? More specifically, liked her when he shouldn’t be.

Noah crossed the road. He walked through the running vehicle and was not hit or hurt when he reached the other side of the road. The road is not a highway so it is not prone to accidents. He walks towards her and says, “Avah, why are you here?”

When someone called him he quickly turned around. He was slightly disappointed because it was not Davien the man but his brother Noah.

“Noah! You, why are you here?” Avah asked.

“My car broke. They’re fixing it.” Noah taught the studio. “You, why are you here? Are you waiting for someone?”

“Yeah, I’m waiting for Davien. We’d be going there oh,” Avah also pointed to the opposite building. “Parenting Session, but I’m going home. It looks like Davien won’t be coming anymore,” Avah managed to smile even though she was a little sad.

“Wait. How about I go with you?” Noah suggested.

Avah was stunned by what he said.

“N-no, me! You’ll still be bothered.” Avah made a throaty laugh.

“No, it’s okay. You’re friends, right?” Noah said in slang tagalog. “Besides, you are carrying my brother’s child. He or she will be my nephew or niece. I wanna do something good for Davien and your child.”
