That Doctor Is Mine

“Here’s the car’s key, Sir.” He said and hand me the keys.

“How about you?”

“I can take a cab.” He said and smiled at me. I nodded and took the keys from him.

He helped me put my stuff inside. I turned to him first before saying goodbye and getting into the car.

I drive to the address written don on the paper given to me by my detective. I know some places here in America because my family and I had a long vacation here. And the address that the detective says I’ve been to, I’ll just ask where exactly the house Nikita lives.

I wish you haven’t move on yet Nikita!

As I was traveling something grabbed my attention. I stopped first and stared at the woman I was looking for in a park near the subdivision I was supposed to go to.

There she is, carrying a baby in her arms. I was just as close to him when I saw a man approaching him and kissing his forehead. The man kissed the baby.

My tears start to fall and my legs begin to tremble.

She already has a child?

Is this my karma?

Am I really going back, Nikita?

Nikita’s POV,

“Baby Levi …” Hanz comforted my son.

The dedication of the babies at our church has just ended. We”re not Catholics and we don”t do baptism on babies who don”t yet have an understanding on the concepts of baptism on Christian faith.

“I think I should hire a babysitter for baby Levi. I need to work for us. We can’t just rely on you.” I said to Hanz. He looked at me.

“You don’t need to —”

“No, Hanz. The help you gave us is enough. I’m so grateful to have you as my best friend.” I sincerely said to him. He smiled at me. He accepts his defeat because even if he says it’s ok with him, he still won’t stop me.

“If that’s what you want. I know I won’t stop you, especially since you already have a child.” He just said to me then look to my son.

I prepare for my work on Hanz’s company under the Marketing Department. I did not agree to be his secretary because he had a secretary.

“Ate Marissa, you take care of the baby first. I’m leaving.” I told our newly hired babysitter.

I trust him since he just referred us when my friend Mara.

“Yes Ma’am. Enjoy your first day of work Ma’am.” She said while carrying my Baby Levi. I kissed him and then I came to kiss my son.

“Mommy is just leaving, son ahh. Mommy will be back too. I have to work to keep you alive.” I talk to my son even though I know he doesn’t understand me yet. I kissed him on his cheeks and squeezed it slightly.

“Call me sister if I need you.” I will leave it to Ate Marissa. He nodded.

I walked to the door. I even heard Ate Marissa say goodbye to me.

I took a cab and then went to Hanz’s company.

The guard checked my bag. I rolled my eyes at the loon of the company. I approached the information officer who you will see as soon as you enter the door.

“Excuse me, may I ask if where”s the office ofdfg gGa v vhdddt

Ms. Evans? “I ask the American woman here.

“What do you need from her?” She asked.

“I’m the newly-hired here, under the Marketing Department and I heard she’s the head there.” I said.

“Ok. She’s in the fifth floor Miss. You just have to turn left, you can see her name on the door.” She said so I just smiled at her.

I took the elevator and went to Miss Evans’ office. I knocked first.

“Come in.” I heard him say inside. I have entered.

“Good morning Ma’am, I’m Nikita Arellano.” I said while holding my papers and small sling bag.

“Good morning too. I’m Marigold Evans, call me Ms. Evans.” She said and make me sit down.

“I just think of reporting first Miss before going to work. May I ask if where you will be assigning me?” I ask.

“Oh, Mr. Presto can assist you first since he’s a Filipino like you.” She said.

It’s good that I’m Filipino, I’m crazy about English.

“Thank you Miss.” I smiled at her.

“You’re beautiful and you look hardworking. I’m expecting from you.” She said so I just smiled at her.

I was under pressure from him.

I got out and walked over to the Marketing Department Office.

“Oh, are you Nikita Arellano?” A man asked me as soon as I entered.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Yes.” I politely said.

“Don’t say yes to me. I’m only a little older than you.” He said and chuckled. “By the way, I’m Presto Ignacio. It’s been my three years working here so it’s been quite a while as well.” He said then started walking. I also follow him and once again look at the people at work.

Some are typing on a laptop, some are writing, some are watching, as long as they do a lot.

“Anyway, this would be your seat or mini-office. This is your laptop and if you need something, you can ask anyone here.” He said.

I put my bag on the side of my laptop and then sat down.
