That Doctor Is Mine

Avah was silent for a few seconds. But he still answered the question. He said, “I don’t know. I was just a child when my mother left me in the convent. I was left with Mother Segunda less than a week ago. I grew up not knowing or seeing them.” Davien saw the loneliness in her eyes. That despite she answered the question with a smile, the pain in her eyes is undeniable.

“O-oh, I’m so sorry.” Divina regretted asking the question. Daniela on the other hand admire Avah. They are both siblings who are suffering because they don’t have a father, what about his sister Avah?

“It’s okay,” Avah replied with a smile.

She’s a strong woman. And nice, far and lot better than ate Alexa. Daniela judged mentally.

“But you have friends who are going to the wedding, don’t you?”

That was the start of the conversation about their wedding. The speed. Very fast. Two months ago, Avah was one step away from her dreams. Two months ago, God was the one she would marry. Now the course of his life is different. But even so he believes that the Lord Creator has a plan for him.

“Is it okay with you if the theme of the wedding is red and white?” That old doctor. Avah nodded. “How about the bride’s maid? If it’s okay with you, Daniela can be the bride’s maid.”

“It’s okay,” Avah agreed on every suggestion of Davien’s mother. From the smallest detail until the most important information.

“Okay, I will handle everything. And since all my suggestions are okay with you, I will make sure that the wedding is speeded up. Maybe after one week or two?” Avah almost choked on what the Doctor said.

One or two weeks? It’s very fast. Avah said that she was really surprised by the date Divina said. Avah didn’t growl anymore. She is not the type of woman with a lot of art and complaints.

“P-can I invite my companion to the convent?” Avah asked even more scared.

“Of course, it was your wedding so whoever you invite is welcome. It’s also for you to be comfortable on your wedding day. It’s better when you have an acquaintance, especially if only our relatives are in attendance.” Divina said. She’s grateful that Avah finally asked about their wedding as well. He thought that the girl was not interested because he was just nodding and just agreeing with what he was doing.

For two hours only Divina spoke. She is super excited for her son’s wedding. She makes sure the child’s wedding is pretentious. He will be married once in a life time so you should just be proud! Fortunately, Divina saved a lot of money in the bank. He is not old enough to retire as a doctor so he can also recover the expenses of the couple’s wedding.

After dinner, Davien and Avah said goodbye. Because the mansion was made of cement and glass they did not notice the heavy rain outside. That’s why when Divina and Daniela took the two to the main entrance of the house, Divina came up with a good idea. She noticed the distant between the two and Avah was obviously still separated from Davien. And to solve the problem, to make the two comfortable with each other, Divina excalimed, “oh no, it’s raining hard. It’s not safe to drive at this moment. You two better stay here. Here you can spend the night. Always. Manang is cleaning your room Davien, just stay there. It’s not good to drive with this weather, maybe the road will have zero visibility while you two are on the way. It’s better to be safe. ” Divina’s long mantra.

“B-but I have a job tomorrow.” Avah reasoned but Davien spoke quickly.

“I think mom is right, let’s just stay here for tonight. The rain is pouring heavily. We’ll just be stuck in traffic, or maybe even in the flood.” He stated which earn small smile from Divina.

After Davien said his consent to the mother Avah did nothing but follow their wishes. In fact, the mother thinks only of their safety.

Avah and Davien went upstairs where the young man’s old room is located which until now has been preserved by Divina in case the child stays for a night just like tonight. Davien leads the way because he knows which room they are going to. He stopped in front of a brown and shining wooden door. He unlocked the door and open it widely for Avah.

“After you,” Davien said indicating that he’ll get in after she gets inside. Avah entered the room and then Davien entered. He closed the door and then turn on the lights.

When Davien turned on the light it was only then that Avah noticed some large portraits of Davien. From childhood to old age there is a photograph in the bedroom. And she have to admit that Davien looks good even when he’s still a kid. The boss of his face, but the charm in his youth faded because little by little it became masculine.

Avah shifted her gaze and saw large drops of rain from the glass wall of the room. His room has a terrace and the wall is made of glass. The material started sweating because of the heavy rain, sometimes even accompanied by lightning.

“You can take the bed, I’ll sleep on the couch.” Even Davien. His voice is so whole, deep and very manly. The dominance in his voice is giving Avah a crazy effect, a butterfly in her stomach.

“H-not anymore. I’m just there on the sofa,” she said shyly. Davien is the owner of the room so it’s embarrassing that he has to lie down on the couch.

“Who is pregnant with the two of us? You take the bed, and I will sleep in the couch. When you moan, we will sleep on the same bed.” He said firmly which made Avah speechless.

She felt the creeping heat on her cheek. They stare at each other. Seconds passed, turns into minutes until there is a knock on their door.

“Brother? Can you see Avah?” said Daniela behind the door.

“A minute,” Vien replied to the brother. “What is it?” he asked when he opened the door.

“Mama sends,” Daniela handed over a glass of milk. Davien rolled his eyes but he eventually accepted the milk.

“Don’t bother us again. We’re going to rest,” he said with annoyed voice and then shut the door. He walk towards the bedside table and then put the milk on the flat surface. “Drink it while I search comfortable clothes for you.” Davien said then he opened his walk-in closet. His mother is a collector of old stuffs so the clothes he left behind are still there. Even though he insisted to throw away or donate those Divina did not consent. She really like to cherish memorable stuffs.

When Davien saw pajama pants with an adjustable waist band and a gray fluffy shirt he walked out of the walk-in closet. Avah is still drinking the milk when he toss the pair of clothes in the bed. She’s sitting on the edge of the bed, near the bedside table.

“Use that for tonight. Bathroom on that door,” he said like a boss as he pointed another door. Avah nods her head.

After drinking the milk, she went into the bathroom and changed her clothes. As soon as she exited the bathroom, Davien has to look away. His clothes looks so damn good on her. She made the simple pair look so sexy and elegant. Davien has also changed into his usual T-shirt and boxer.

He’s setting up the couch and Avah is climbing on the bed when suddenly the lights turned off.

“A-what happened? I don’t see anything,” Avah said nervously.

Meanwhile, Divina and Manang Belinda are making tiny chuckles. They turned off the flow of electricity from the basement. Divina grabbed her phone and sent a quick message to her son saying:Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“enjoy your night! I love you son!”

After reading that, Davien couldn’t stop his eyes from rolling due to irritation. What the hell is she doing? What is she? Teenager to play this game? He thought.

Suddenly a lightning and loud thunder strike in making a flash of light. Out of shock, Avah cried out sharply. He was afraid of the combination of thunder and lightning. Because he touched the lamplight, he did not expect to fall out of bed.

Davien was suddenly alarmed by the crash in the room and because of Avah’s scream. He grabbed his phone, turned the flashlight on and then he rushed towards Avah. Before Avah fell Davien’s thick blanket had fallen off, the softness of the fabric lessened the impact of her bang.

“What the bloody hell is happening! The baby! Are you alright ?! What are you doing ?! You can’t be bothered!” Davien shouted at Avah. He lift the woman bridal style and lay her down on the center of the bed. Davien’s heart was pounding. She is very worried for the baby.

What if she had a miscarriage? The fuck no! He keep his thoughts synchronize but he can’t. She was really nervous that there might be blood coming out of Avah and losing her child.

“I’m fine. Apparently the baby won’t be affected badly. My fall won’t hurt.” Avah’s heart was pounding too. Not because of the baby, she knew as a mother that the child was fine. She feels that because the baby is inside her body. The reason her heart was pounding was Davien’s closeness.

He set the flashlight on her thighs and legs. He looked to see if any blood had leaked from his pajamas. Davien was really nervous. The moment he heard the news that he was going to be a father it gave him a strange joy. Alexa, her boyfriend, wants to have children. But Alexa doesn’t want to because it will ruin her figure. Davien understands Alexa because he loves her.

But that was all before. Now she doesn’t know how to accept in case the child disappears in Avah’s womb.

“What are you doing ?! Are you going to kill my child ?!” Davien shouted again to Avah’s surprise. He is so worried over nothing.

“W-I can’t see anything … I’m afraid of the dark, lightning and thunder.” Avah is embarrassed to admit.

Davien cursed his mother in his mind. Because of his nonsense, his son almost disappeared. His mother wasn’t this supportive on his past relationship so it’s surprising that he wanted to like Avah.

“Are you hurt? Where does it hurt? Tangina kase!” Davien could no longer resist the cynicism out of concern.

“I’m fine …”

But he wasn’t satisfied on her answer. He quickly contacted Doctor Talaveda who became a friend of his mother and mother -in -law. The old man answered twice. He asked if a two months pregnant woman fell from bed have a chance of miscarriage. The doctor on the other phone asked if the impact was severe, but if the miscarriage was not severe, the child was unlikely to be affected. Davien’s mother also asked why he was asking that kind of thing but his only answer was ending the call.
