That Doctor Is Mine

He can really hide that when he shows up. He picked up the cellphone and typed. He waited a few minutes after being sent before he called. And for the first time. Reply too!

“Where are you? How many days have you been gone! Do you know I’m worried about you-”

“I’m hurt …”

He was speechless.

“I’m tired …. I’m lonely … I don’t want this … I just want you …”

He wiped away the tears that were already dripping. “W-where are you? Go home. I’m worried.” Any pain. His concern still prevailed.

“I deserved this because I have a fucked up life. You can keep him, just please Celestine … Please, don’t marry him … I can’t … I can’t handle the pain … ”

Tears kept falling from her eyes. “W-what are you saying? Where are you? Go home, okay?” even though his voice was cracked. He calmed down.

“I’m sorry for being selfish … I just … I just love you so much Celestine …”

“Alexendris, where are you? Go home, please. I’m not angry anymore. All right. Go home. Don’t make me worry like this.” he begs

“I love you …”

She closes her eyes. “I love you too, okay? Go home then, please?”

Silence answered him. He was even more paranoid. He took a deep breath.

“Go home, please? Didn’t you say you’ll fix it? In that case, go home to me because you’ll fix it, Okay?” We’ll fix it. I will help you.

“Okay …”

He breathed a sigh of relief. Alexendris promised to go home before disappearing from the line. He waited a few minutes before there was a knock on the door. Alexendris greeted him. The wine was bent over and smelly.

“Where have you been?” he asked

“Condo.”

It looked up. She was shocked when the young man suddenly hugged her. He stroked her back. He hugged her even tighter.

“I love you so much, Celestine.” its whisper. “I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just … want to keep you.”

“Yes, I know. I understand.”

The young man’s caress on her cheek just made her close her eyes. She let him start kissing her hard and slowly.

Until he could feel his clothes falling to the floor.

He SIT on the large sofa, which was in the middle. It’s inside Alexandris’s father’s office. They have something important to talk about.

He didn”t catch up with Alexendris this morning. Eggs, hotdogs and fried rice in the kitchen are the traces left by the young man. He had breakfast.

He looked up when Alexendris’s dad entered. “Good morning ho.” he greetedUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Yes, Celestine?”

Alexendris’s dad knew right away his purpose. He will no longer wander around.

“I want to talk to you … about your family’s legacy.”

The person he was talking to walked to the desk and then laid the brown envelope on the table. It turned on him again.

“I knew you would ask. Who wouldn’t?”

“I want to understand why there is such a thing in your family. Why is there a need for such a thing, and if there is a way to change that? If … If I can do anything else.” his bold statement

Alexendris’s dad was silent for a long time. “Why?”

“Because I want to better understand the situation-”

“No, Celestine. Why are you still staying with my son, despite what you’ve learned?”

“I love Alexendris. I’m hurt by the kind of situation we’re in but I won’t give up right away. That’s why I’m here. To understand. To find out if there’s any other way.”

The man nodded. “Yes. It’s love.” It looked up at him

“You want to know about the legacy?”

He nodded quickly. Alexendris’ dad approached him and then sat on the sofa in front of him. Its blue eyes inherited from Alexendris were very serious.

“There are always a misconceptions about the legacy, child. My family’s legacy is not about collecting wives, but collecting more power. Each wife selected has power and influential they have from their family.” its opening story

He bowed. “I-in that case, we can but we’re not that influential. Why did you vote for me for Alexendris?”

“I have my reasons for that.” it folded the palms. “But power is second the most important thing in our family. There’s a first. It was the most important of all.”

He was suddenly nervous. “W-what’s that?”

“You said if there’s anything you could do to stop the legacy, am I right?”

He nodded.

“Then why don’t we make a deal. I will cancel the selection of wives, but you will grant me a favor. How about it?”

He was swallowed. This is it. The opportunity he demands. Whatever Alexendris’s dad wanted him to do. Hopefully not difficult.

He nodded slowly. “Oh, I accept.”

HE sat down in his chair. He was holding the cellphone, contemplating whether to call the person in his mind, or not.

They weren’t friends, nor close to each other. Just merely partners in business. He’s hesitating to call because it’s been a long time since they’ve last talked.
