That Doctor Is Mine

“And this woman here with me is my fiance, Avah. Avah, she’s Alexa, my old friend and her boyfriend.” Alexa’s jaw almost dropped when she heard who and what that woman was in Davien’s life.

Alexa stopped momentarily. It was as if his mind was suddenly taken aback by what Davien had said. Him? Getting married and I’m not the bride? He must be fooling himself. Poor you miss. He was just using you as a rebound, covering holes. Alexa’s wild thoughts said while staring at Avah with sharpness.

“Oh, really? Congratulations! Congrats!” Alexa repeated her plastic greeting to them. He thought that his ex -girlfriend was just lying to annoy him like those who are always on television. What the poor woman did not know was that the two would actually get married.

Davien thought he’ll see regret in Alexa’s eyes. He wanted to see it badly but there’s non. It’s even mocking. So in order not to look like Alexa is the only one who can do non, Davien smiled big and gripped Avah’s waist more than tight that the girl almost complained of pain. “Why, thank you. I was hoping for your marriage soon. Excuse us please, we’ll be having our dinner.” He said politely and then lead Avah to a vacant table.

“D-Davien, the tightness of your grip on me. M-it hurts,” Avah reminded as Davien seemed to have no intention of loosening the grip on his waist.

“O-oh, sorry. I didn’t mean too.” Davien apologized. He pulled a chair for Avah and once they’re settled on their table, they order. Avah can see the sudden change in his mood but he hasn’t asked yet. They’re not that close for him to be curious.

The dinner was calm and silent. Even when they returned home Davien never spoke again. Avah was also silent. Just like the original plan, Davien slept on the ground and Avah soloed her bed.

Next Monday morning, when Avah woke up, Davien was no longer at home. She look around and noticed that most of his stuffs are gone. The only thing left was the blanket and pillow that the young man had deliberately left for Avah. Suddenly, Avah feel empty inside. He didn’t think that in just a few days of Davien’s stay there, he would get used to it. He stared at his roof for a few more minutes, hugging Davien’s pillow.

Why? Why am I acting like this? Avah asked herself with her feelings. Avah stomped on her bed and sat up. He messed up his own hair then he stood up and prepared himself for his new day at work.

Like the days he spent at the restaurant, it was no different than his day today. Over and over again, smile at customers, wish them a nice day, noon to afternoon. After work he said goodbye to his companions and quickly went home. While on the road he remembered that he did not have a nice dress to wear for tonight. Her clothes are all long pants and skirts and are old. How is that? Avah asked herself.

When he arrived at his house, he quickly searched for something to wear. As she was unpacking her clothes, there was a knock on her door. “Avah? It’s your Ate Marya,” the landlord said.

Avah quickly opened the door to the babe holding the fancy box.

“A woman came here this afternoon, knocking on your door but you weren’t there. When I saw her she said there was a shipment for you. She didn’t say who it was from. Oh, here. It’s yours,” Marya said and handed the box.

“Thank you,” Avah accepted the shipment while wondering who it was from. When he closed the door, he then opened the box on his desk. The first thing Avah saw was the small piece of paper lying inside the box. That letter:

See you tonight.

Davien

Avah’s smile suddenly flashed on her lips without her being aware of it. When he opened the paper that wrapped whatever was in it, he was surprised to see that it was a dress. It is black in color, with flower patterns, up to her knees in length. It also has a sleeve and ribbon for the waistband.

Included inside the box is a sandal without heels

Included inside the box is a sandal without heels. Cream color thing in the dress. Avah took a quick shower. She wore a clean bra and panties and short shorts, the next thing she wore was the dress. Fortunately, she closed the zipper of the dress on the back properly.

He just combed his long and black hair because he didn’t know any other hair style. Since there was no lipstick, Avah just bit her lip hard to make it redden a little, she also applied a little powder.

About seven o’clock there was a knock on his door. Avah doesn’t know why but she’s happy to think that Davien might be the one knocking. When he opened the door the small smile disappeared from his lips.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Miss Avah?” There was a man wearing long sleeves and black pants.

“A-I am,”

“Sir Davien is sending me to drive for you. You’ll meet him in his mother’s house. He’ll be waiting for you there.”

“A-ah, is that so? Wait a minute. I’ll just take my wallet.” Avah grabbed her purse and hurried out of her house. “tara po?” Pagaaya nya. The driver smiled at him and the man got out of the car first.

Avah was in the backseat, silent and looking at the road. He reads every establishment shining because of its light. Because he was too busy watching the streets of Manila, he did not realize that they were about to enter a private village.

When the vehicle stopped opposite 7/11 Avah saw Davien’s familiar vehicle. Her chest throbbed quickly. What is happening to me?! Anas he to himself.

“Yes, sir. We’re already here.” said the driver. Soon there was a knock on the car door. It was there that Avah clarified that Davien was in the car because the window was already there. He’s wearing a black suit, he looks so professional, elegant and … handsome. Davien looked at Avah from the driver’s seat window, then handed the money to the driver he had instructed. Davien opened the door for Avah and the girl came out.

“You look gorgeous. Tara na?” Fortunately, it was dark, Davien didn’t see the redness on his cheek. Avah just nodded and got back in the car. Now it was Davien’s car, and next to him.

Their quick flight was quiet because Davien’s house was just across the street. Davien came out first and he opened the door for Avah again. He offered his hand and Avah took it with gratitude. After locking his car, Davien snaked his hands on her waist which brings incredible sensation to Avah’s body.

Davien pressed the doorbell. Their maid open the gate for them. The maid also opened the door for them to enter their mansion. As soon as the two of them entered the big house, Davien immediately heard his mother’s voice from the kitchen.

“Are they here? Is that Davien?” the old doctor’s voice excited. When she exited the kitchen and went to the front door, her smile went wider. “Oh my! Are you the one? You’re Avah, right? You are so beautiful! I’m Divina, your soon mother-in-law!” Divina squealed far away and then she hugged Avah excitedly when she stood next to her.

“Ma, stop that. You’re suffocating her.” Davien said while watching his mother crush Avah’s body against her.

“Oh, I’m so sorry. I was just too excited to meet her.” Divine admitted. Her eyes are sparkling with excitement. “Vien, she is so beautiful! The baby will be beautiful too, I can tell. I’m so happy, I’m going to be a grandmother!” She squealed. Davien is twenty -eight so Divina wants him to get married. But if her son only goes to Alexa, she will prefer this young man to grow old.

But things have changed. He brought home a very beautiful girl today, a polite, modest, and really decent woman. It looks like there is no body art and it looks like an angel with too much facial humility. She’s so beautiful even though she doesn’t have makeup unlike Alexa, she doesn’t seem to come out of that house without eyebrows, contact lenses and whatnot.

“Mom, is it older?” Daniela asked from the kitchen. She fixes the dishes. When she saw her older brother Vien, she called him. “Kuya!” then Daniela run towards him. She kissed Davien on his cheeks. “Is she ate Avah?” Daniela asked with a wide smile on her face.

Avah doesn’t feel discomfort because Davien’s family’s reception of her is so warm. Her beautiful and clear smile is indelible.

Since his mother had calmed down a bit, it was Davien’s turn to introduce the mother of his future child.

“Avah, this is my mother, Doctor Divina. She is my younger sister, Daniela. Ma, Niela, she’s Avah, the one I was talking about.” Davien briefly introduces both sides.

“Hi, sister. Good evening.” Daniela hugged Avah and then kissed her on the cheeks. Avah is not used to such social greetings but she just drifted through the events.

“Good evening,” Avah greeted Davien’s mother as well as his brother.

Divina can’t help her heart flipping in joy while staring at the fine young lady. Now, Alexa will see what she wasted. That’s Davien’s mother’s brain. Divina will never forget the breakup of Davien’s ex -girlfriend for no good reason.

Before going further in her own thoughts, Divina said, “the dinner is ready. Shall we? Maybe the baby is hungry inside mommy’s womb.” She joked.

Divina lead the way going to the kitchen. Davien held Avah’s waist again and then they walked through the kitchen at the same pace. While walking, Davien leaned his face towards Avah. He whispers, “mom and Daniela liked you so much,” Avah looked up at the young man which is why their lips almost met.

Avah’s eyes widened and she quickly looked down the road. Watching her innocence was satisfying for Davien. He have to stop himself from smiling ear to ear.

She’s so damn beautiful. I know the dress would fit on her perfectly. He said on the back of her mind.

When they arrived at the dining area Avah was surprised at the amount of dishes served on the large table. About twenty people could fit on the table. Davien pulled the chair for Avah. She sat down on the chair as Davien settled his own sit beside her.

They have already started eating. In the middle of the dinning, Divina spoke.

“So Avah, where’s your parents?”

Davien mentally slapped himself. She did not tell her mother that Avah had no recognized parents. He forgot to warn Divina that it might be a sensitive topic for Avah.
