That Doctor Is Mine

And Avah was looking at the field of grave because she was worried about where the child was lying so she didn’t notice her ex -husband’s car.

Avah parked her car where Davien parked his. She found her son’s grave in just a minute and she was surprise to see stuffs there. Obviously someone visited. There were meals served, picnic mats laid out and a flower basket.

Avah put her basket of flowers beside the first one. He saw the note and read it. As soon as she read the words imprinted on the small note, tears started streaming down her face.

The note says:

I miss you, baby Angelo. I love you so much. I love you and mommy forever and ever.

Your Daddy Davien

Avah knew that she would cry when she visited the child. But the pain he feels now is still strange. She could have met Davien if she had come earlier …

“I love you too … I’ve always been loving you …” Avah cried while reading Davien’s letter over and over.

After visiting his son in the cemetery, the next place Davien went to was the convent where his wife grew up. Last year he did the same for his son’s first death anniversary. He dropped to church to pray and talk to his son through God’s passage.

“Son, are you from your son?” Mother Segunda sympathizes with Davien alone. He was sitting in the first row of long chairs in the church. He just finished praying.

“Yes, mother. I visited baby Angelo.” Davien turned to Segunda and smiled.

“I’m sure your son loves you very much, son. I also always pray for your reunion. Just let Sister Avah go first. She was hurt so much not only as a woman or a wife, but as a mother. She carried your child in her womb for four months, it’s only natural for a mother to be like that. But son, I know Sister and I know you already know her, she was quick to forgive and I know it’s not over with you. ” Segunda’s long mantra.

They got up to sit down and Segunda accompanied Davien to walk along the church hallway. There they in the middle passed while talking.

“Thank you very much, Mother. I will remember everything you said.” Davien stopped opposite Segunda.

“You are in a good mood, son. And all who have a springing heart are blessed.” The old Segunda opened his hands. Davien came over here and hugged the nun while being very grateful.

Avah’s heels created a loud tak-tak-tak sound as she entered her forever home. The convent where he grew up.

Segunda’s eyes widened when he saw and recognized who the woman was coming, entering the church.

Whether her dress, walk, her posture, hair, body and her aura were ruined she knew who it was. The child he raised. Avah!

Segundat’s sweet smile flashed and he whispered to Davien, “God is so kind, son. He has heard your prayer.”

Davien slipped out of Segunda’s embrace. She wonders what it says. Then the voice that he’s been missing for so long echoed in the church.

“Second Mother!” Avah called her Mother Superior without knowing that it was her late husband who is hugging the old woman.

Slowly, Davien turn around. His heart is beating fast, abnormally fast. And when their eyes locked, they both had a goosebumps as excitement overwhelmed both of them.

“D-Davien …” His name slipped her mouth the way she did it two years ago. Poor, tender and full of love.

“Avah …” Davien mumbled. Shocked. Excited. Nervous. Happy. She no longer knew how to feel. His emotion was in riot, like his heart going crazy.

Segunda felt the need to wrap the two so to break it he met the woman.

“Sister!” Segunda exclaimed and hugged the child. They exchanged warm hugs and mejo lost some of Avah’s. Then Segundang said, “I’ll leave you two first. I can wait.” Then she left the two broken hearts alone so they can fix themselves.

“H-hi! How have you been?” Avah forced herself to raise her voice.

Davien cannot believe what he’s seeing. His wife is in the front. But it has changed a lot.

“I-I’m … I’m okay. I’m fine, i-you? When did you arrive?” Davien stammered. Her tongue twisted with the various emotions that engulfed her.

“Two days ago.” Avah keeps her face and voice neutral even when she is having a hard time. “I … ugh … I visited Angelo. I did see the … y-the flowers and food you left.” Avah could almost hear the loud beating of her heart pounding inside her rib cage.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

They are a dipa away from each other. They cannot move their feet as if they were nailed on the ground.

“You were in the cemetery?” Davien asked. “You? How are you for the past years?” He asked.

“I’m good! I’ve started anew.” Avah feel so guilty right now. He left without letting Davien know, or without hearing the story or explanation if there was any.

“G-good for you …” Davien only said. He has a lot to say. He has prepared everything he has to say. He is waiting for this time but now that Avah is in front of him, his tongue suddenly recedes.

“O-okay … ugh … please excuse me. I’ll see mother now.” Avah smiles at Davien and passes him by.

Before she could walk away, Davien grabbed her right hand making her gasps in response. The sudden touch of him awakened her buried feelings. Avah is electrified by Davien’s soft and warm hand.

“Are you keeping a man? W-what I meant was, do you have boyfriend? Or … or husband?” Davien was afraid of what Avah would answer.

“N-nothing. What kind of question is that.” Avah chuckled to hide the awkwardness in her voice.

Feeling relieved, Davien tightened his grip on his wife’s hand. Then he move closer to Avah. He said, “can we talk please? Have dinner with me. Please, tonight.”

“Y-yeah. Sure. W-where?” Her voice is chopped no matter what she does to correct her squirming tongue.

“On our house … please. Tonight, seven.” Davien plea.

“A-alright. On your house.” Avah corrected the ownership on the place where they will have dinner. “See you tonight, please excuse me.”

Jacintha was overjoyed when her son called and said that she and Davien had met and would meet again tonight. Jacintha really wants Davien for her child but she doesn’t want to take the lead in Avah’s decision because she’s too old for her to interfere.

Avah get herself ready. He couldn’t understand himself why he felt like this. Twitter mixed with excitement and excitement. She dressed herself like she’s going to a runway and modeling. Feeling over dressed, she changed the dress into a simple A line v-neck pink homecoming dress with tiered short cocktail skirt. She paired cream white sky high heels that were almost five inches high. She curl her black hair and made it bouncy.

By 6:40, Avah had finished her makeup. Just a simple nude makeup. Feeling satisfied on her look, she left her hotel room and took the car key. Avah drove to the house that meant to much to her. The house she used to call home. Avah still remembers the way to get to the house she and Davien used to have.

Davien look at Divina and Daniela’s creation. They set up and cooked dinner for him and Avah. There’s candle light, and fresh flowers, very romantic ambiance. When Davien asked for their help they almost flew to the man’s house to start what they called “Operation Bringing Back The Past”. Even if they want to stay at home to see the in-law they can”t. They have to trust Davien that he will bring them back tonight. So eventually, the mother and daughter left.

Davien look at his wall clock. It reads as 7:12 P. M. Any moment the husband will come. When someone rang the doorbell, his heart pounded again. For him to join a marathon, his heart is going nuts.

Davien wore a suit. And when she saw what her husband was wearing, she could not find the right term to describe her unique and rare beauty.

“H-hi.” Avah greeted in her usual tone.
