Chapter 22
“O-I’m fine, Noah. I’m sorry? Melanie and I are in a hurry.” Avah excuses herself to stay away from the man.
“No, it’s okay Avah. Do you want to come to my condo? I was rude earlier, maybe I can offer you some food and stuffs?” Ani Melanie to Noah which is very wrong.
“Y-yeah! Sure.” Noah’s willingness quickly.
Avah did not show that she was disappointed. He also thought that the man was his wife’s brother. There was probably nothing wrong with that, and he also saw nothing wrong with avoiding Noah. He is Davien’s family that makes him related to Avah.
Noah really didn’t relax with his friends that afternoon. Also because of Melanie’s loudness, she told the story of what Davien’s ex -girlfriend did to Avah. She told the whole story of that mark on her cheeks.
About five o’clock Avah decided to leave. Noah offered a lift, Avah refuses but Melanie forces the friend to deliver. Melanie doesn’t have a car of her own so it would be better for Noah to take her. Besides, it is not considerate for Avah to commute alone and still pregnant. At the end, she agreed to deliver at home.
Davien came home early because there weren’t many patients today. Avah’s isn’t answering her phone, because it’s silent and she’s not used to this gadget. When Davien was near their house, he saw the car just stopped. That car is familiar. He was surprised to see Avah hop out of the car and Noah followed.
Jealousy took over mix with anger towards Noah. He stopped his Maybach Exelero before Noah’s then he jumped out.
“I told you to leave my wife alone!” Davien growled and then punches Noah on his face.
When Noah recovered from Davien’s blow, he retaliated with a powerful blow to the face. This time he wouldn’t let him pass, even though Davien was older than him. He let her be punched at first, but not now.
The two men started fighting each other. With the force of the blows they unleashed on each other, it was as if they were ready to kill.
“That’s enough! Stop that, what!” Avah shouted. Her voice was shaking too.
“I told you stay the fuck away from my wife! Is my dad not enough ?! Are you going to steal my wife just like how your mom steal my dad ?!” Davien bursts. The veins in his temples are showing, an indication that he is really angry with the brother.
“Davien what! Stop it! Noah just delivered me, what’s wrong don?”
Davien turn around to look at his wife. He is furious. He was very angry. But all his anger was replaced by astonishment because he saw the handprint on Avah’s white face. Even though a few hours later there was a slight trace of it, Davien didn’t miss it.
“What the fuck happened to your face? Who did that ?!” His intense anger returned.
“You act like a protective husband but the truth is you can’t protect Avah from your ex girlfriend! What kind of husband are you?” Noah growled. Their lips were both bloody.
“Alexa did this to you? When ?! Where ?! Answer me damn it !!” Davien shouted as he examined the delicate face of his wife. Avah’s former white skin is pink, with the thought that Alexa hurt her innocent husband is enough to send him to the edge of his kindness.
“I’m fine.” Avah said. He removed Davien’s hand from his face and approached the bruised Noah. Noah needed her help, Davien hurt his brother so much even though he didn’t have enough reason to be violent. “Are you okay? I’m sorry again, Noah.”
Davien watch his own wife took Noah’s side. His jaw clenched and his fist.
Noah knew that she was hurt and I don’t? He was there when she needed someone and I’m not? He bring her back home which is supposed to be my responsibility? His questions are echoing in his mind.
He opened the gate and once he did, Davien pulled her. He pulled Avah into the house. He shouted at his brother before closing the gate, “leave at once!”
Noah did not know what to feel first. Whether he will be angry with his sister first or feel sorry for Avah because he has the impression that Davien isn’t treating her right.
I wish you were mine, Avah. I will treat you like you are the most precious treasure in the world. Davien doesn’t deserve you … Noah said in his mind. He waited a few minutes outside, he’s hoping that Avah will come out for him. No luck. Frustrated, Noah left with another body ache. They don’t seem to get along with her older brother. Davien has a lot of pride and ego that he was protecting and maintaining.
“Davien why are you so violent?” Avah’s tone was high.
The anger in his eyes faded. The purity of his worried face took over. Davien stroke Avah’s face then asked, “were you hurt?” His voice softened. Davien’s attitude really changes when Avah is in front. Only Avah have that spell the can tame him. Only her.
“I’m fine, I already told you right?” Avah’s voice softened too. She’s thankful that Davien calmed down faster unlike for the past few days.
“Did she say something to you? Don’t believe her Avah. I’m over her. Having her in my life was the biggest mistake I ever made. You’re the only one for me, only you. Okay? You believe in me right? ” Davien pleads.
When he watched Avah took Noah’s side, he immediately nodded. He felt that the two were getting closer and closer. He also feels that because of Alexa’s trouble, Noah has a better chance of getting Avah. The last thing he wanted was because Avah was just him. He walked closer, he opened his big arms and wrapped them around Avah’s small body.
I don’t share Avah. Especially you, it’s better to just be a nun than to go to someone else. Davien thought as he hugged his wife.
Davien gently felt Avah wrap her own hand around Davien’s back. The silence and calmness of the ambiance feels so comforting. Comforting and sensitive to the point that Avah could no longer avoid being choked.
Earlier when Alexa was fighting with him, she really wanted to cry. He trampled on Avah’s honor and questioned her love for God. They still have their son. Avah was hurt so much because don. But he chose not to show it. That’s why now he can’t understand why he still expressed his resentment towards Davien.
Every sincere word Davien let go moved Avah’s heart. Davien seems to want to say that it’s okay to cry with her, that he is always there for her. His shoulder is always free fro his wife.
Davien can hear Avah’s tiny sobs and he can also feel the slow rise below his shoulder due to crying. Seeing her hurting made him think what hurtful things Alexa had said to him. Davien knew the attitude of his ex woman, he knows that Alexa is capable of hurting anybody mentally, emotionally and physically.
As he listened to Avah’s cries, Davien couldn’t help but inflame his anger with his ex -girlfriend. He has a clenched fist and jaw but he tries to calm down for the sake of his sensitive wife. Pregnant women are said to be sensitive so maybe Avah is affected like that.
Davien just hugs Avah while he keeps on whispering some soothing words for her. Avah was crying until she fell asleep in her husband’s arms. Davien took Avah to their room and watched her for a few minutes while sleeping. After making sure she is in the depth of her sleep, Davien left the house.
His car was still outside so he didn’t bother to open the garage. As soon as the engine of his Maybach roared, he started the car quickly. He made his way to his ex -girlfriend’s condominium.
He reached it quickly. As soon as he pressed the doorbell of Alexa’s door, it opened. Alexa thought she was a delivery man or staff so she frowned when she faced Davien. When she realized it was him, her face quickly lit up and she hugged the man.
“I knew you would come back!” She burst happily.
Davien’s head boiled as Alexa hugged him. He removed the embrace of the woman’s arm and pushed it with vigor. Alexa bumped into the wall and she moaned in pain from the impact of her head.
“I’m here to warn you, Alexa. Don’t hurt my wife ever again. If you laid a hand even in the tip of her single hair, you are dead. Leave her alone. And don’t think that I still love you . I was blinded. And having you was a mistake. A huge mistake. When Avah cries again because of you, expect me to come back and come back here. I myself will slap you in exchange for you slapping my wife. Mark. My. Words. ” Every word of Davien was angry. He left the condo unit while Alexa was stunned with fear.
Davien drove back to their home and slept with the wife. He secured Avah in his warm and masculine arms.
“I won’t let anybody hurt you ever again.” He whispered in her head and then he kissed the forehead of the sleeping Avah.
Two days after, everything went back to normal. Davien continues to care for his pregnant wife. Before going to work Davien would remind her to stay at home, lock the gate and door at all times, eat healthy foods, call if there’s an emergency, etc. He also does not leave the house without kissing his wife. On the way home, he brought flowers or sweet food.
Because the husband c-craves sweets and not fruit. It’s good that Avah can’t get pregnant. Unlike others who wake up in the middle of the night just to satisfy their craving.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Their two days were quiet because there was no Noah or Alexa bothering. Sometimes Melanie visits him so that he is not alone and bored in their big house. Sometimes reading the bible, singing church songs that were taught to him when he was still a Parish Choir. He also works hard to water the plants in the yard.
Friday night, as they were having dinner as a couple, Davien mentioned that they were going to a birthday party of one of the close friends. A female model of some famous magazine. Davien recognized that because of Gael’s former relationship. All of them became friends when they became friends. Alexa is the same but with the madness she shows, the three are moving away from her.
It was Saturday morning when Davien released Avah. She will buy them nice clothes to wear because the occasion they are going to is pompous. They went to different branded shops and boutiques. Everything Avah chooses is not Davien”s type. What if the color isn’t dead, the mangan has already arrived. Davien wanted Avah to be the most beautiful woman later that day. If only he could outshine the birthday celebrant, Davien would be even happier. Why not? I have a very beautiful wife. Pride of his mind.
Davien chose what Avah would wear. He looks around the shop and he removes all his temper from the display and hands it to the poor sales lady who is assisting him. Davien no longer looks at the amount because he is confident that those expensive dresses cannot consume the contents of his ATM Card.
All of the dresses fit on Avah perfectly so Davien bought them all. Of course, Avah tried to say no because she didn’t really need non, but Davien already made his decision and it’s final.
