That Doctor Is Mine

He just passed by the convent. Davien probably won’t be angry. He will disappear for a while. Avah let her hair fall back to normal. He tried to call Davien using his cellphone but it just rang. No one answered so he just sent a message that he was going to church.

Davien takes vitals of Alexa with the nurse when she wakes up. They’re monitoring if Alexa’s breathing is better and more stable. A small smile escaped Alexa’s lips. Davien was still wearing the same, apart from the laboratory gown. Alexa then feels that she is still important in Davien’s life.

“Thank you so much, Davien. You saved my life,” Alexa said in a weakened tone.

“Don’t thank me, Miss Torres.” Davien’s line seemed like he was just talking to a normal client. “I don’t save your life for free. I earn money because I’m saving people’s lives. Please just pay all your hospital expenses when you’re done.” Davien turned to the nurse. He first signed Alexa’s medical record before saying, “she’s doing good. Take care of the rest.”

“Yes, Doc.” The nurse then left Davien.

When he entered his office, he immediately took his cellphone. It was in his pocket last night and he kept it in his drawer. Davien saw six missed calls from Avah. A smile formed in his lips. Now everything about them will change. Because they already know they both really feel for each other. Davien tried to call Avah but she’s unattended.

Because there was a weak signal in the Convent Davien could not contact the wife who was now talking to Mother Superior Segunda.

“It’s been a long time since you last visited, Sister Avah. You seem to be happy with your wife. I’m very happy with the abundance of the course of your life.” mantra of the nun.

“Thank you, Mother Segunda. Please be patient with my infrequent visits.” Ani Avah.

“That’s all right, Sister. I know your world doesn’t revolve around the church anymore. That’s right! I’ll give you something. I would have given it to you on your wedding day but I forgot my clothes. I’m really getting older. ” Mother Segunda laughed. “Wait a minute, Sister. I’ll take that first.” The old man left. She walked to her bedroom and picked up an antique necklace.

It is heart -shaped with an engraved name. The old man returned to the garden, under the tree where he had left Avah. Mother Segunda took the child’s hand and placed there a small bag made of clothes.

Avah opened it and saw a necklace. Jacintha, that”s the name engraved on the necklace.

“Jacintha, Mother?” Avah asked with a smile.

“I’ve kept that necklace for a long time, Sister. I would have intended to give it away when you were a full -fledged nun, but God is so good at making the story of our lives.”

“Why are you giving me your necklace, Mother? It seems important to you to keep it for many years.” Avah’s eye asks.

“That’s not for me, Sister.” The nun smiled. “That’s your mother,” Avah suddenly fell silent when she heard that the necklace came from her mother. “When I was a young woman and a sister, a beautiful young lady approached me. She had a sharp nose, a beautiful body, she looked rich. She was carrying a baby, it was you Avah. The young lady was crying when she approached me.

At that time, unmarried girls were rejected by their parents. He brought you to me, Avah. Your real mother is afraid of her parents. Because when you were still in the womb, they threatened to take you away, to adopt you. So your mother made a way for you to stay away forever. He used to visit you at church. Until I became a full -fledged nun. The church sent me to another convent to serve. There was no one else to take care of you then so the servant who used to guide me sent you. That”s where our communication was cut off. I’m afraid you hate me, Sister Avah. But you need to know the truth. Your real mother loves you very much. ”

As Avah listened to Mother Segunda’s revelations, her tears continued to flow.

“Is Jacintha my real mother’s name, Mother?” Avah asked. He also does not know his mother’s name or surname because he has the surname of Mother Segunda Rodeo.

“Yes, Sister. I remember her name Jacintha. I don’t even remember her last name.”

The two just kept talking. About nine o’clock Avah left the convent. He just left when Davien arrived there. He had read Avah’s message. He did not go home, he took a bath in the hospital and when he was able to change his clothes, he followed his wife.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Sister, Davien is just leaving. I didn’t ask where she was going.” Mother Segunda said to her son’s wife.

“Is that so, Mother? All right, thank you.” Davien insisted on not speaking English not because the nun did not understand, but because it was the native language of the church people.

Avah went to the nearest public park in the area. Many families are there to take a walk. Others will correlate; couples, boyfriends, there are also friends. As he walked, he looked at his mother’s necklace. All his life, he believed that his own mother did not like him. That, by the way, only protects him.

Jacintha is a well-known and award winning actress in the Philippine Showbiz. She is very seasoned and has been in the industry for a long time but because she is old, she only receives motherly roles. But when he was young he always had the lead role. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was an actress when she was a young woman, maybe she is with her child now.

She has an image that must be preserved on her glory days. So he hid the child who was later separated from him.

Now she is in shooting for a soap opera that includes. She is a poor mother of the actress and now they are in the park near Quiapo Churh. The scene is they take her young daughter for a walk in the park from the church. He would see the mother of the child’s girlfriend there and belittle them.

As the actors stoned the line Avah passed by just staring at the necklace. Avah bumped into Jacintha who had turned her back and continued to act. The mother turned to Avah apologizing. Avah picked up the necklace that had fallen because of their collision.

“CUT !!!” the director shouted as he stood up on the chair. “Hey! Miss! Yes you are! Can’t you see? We’re shooting oh! Look around you!”

Avah look around. And he did notice that a lot of people were around, a lot of cameras were also focused on them.

“Hija, are you alright?” Jacintha asked Avah.

Avah pocketed the necklace and looked straight at the old woman. “Yes, it’s okay. I’m sorry.”

When Jacintha looks at Avah, her heart beats fast. The leap of blood made the mother cry.

“Direct, look at the woman’s visual. The camera loved her!” The director of photography said about Avah’s appearance on camera.

Jacitha’s eyes were nailed at Avah as she walked away. When Avah finally got away from the set, someone pulled her hand. When she turned around, she didn’t expect to see her husband there.

“D-Davien!” He stuttered his promise.

When Davien returned to his car he turned on the GPS radar installed on his Lamborghini Veneno. How did he get the car? He rented a driver thru online to take the car to the hospital from Olivia’s house where he left it. Since Avah’s phone’s GPS is connected, Davien can see how many meters away from her husband.

He ended up in a public park and he quickly saw the wife walking alone. Even with his back turned he knew it was Avah. Her clothes are familiar. But his question is why is she wearing those clothes again? She has a dozen beautiful clothes but she prefers the old and unattractive ones. There is only one thing to say. Avah isn’t someone who is materialistic.

Davien grabbed Avah’s hand, because of the sudden contact, Avah turn around.

“D-Davien!” Avah was surprised to see the husband in the same place.

“I thought you said you were in the convent?” Davien asked. They stopped on their tracks. Even though Davien knew that Avah would just leave when he arrived at the convent, he still wanted to hear the reason from his wife’s mouth.

“Yes, I’m just leaving. You? You didn’t come home last night ah, are there many patients?” Avah asked smiling.

Shall Davien tell me he take care of Alexa whole night?

Take care ?! What the fuck am I saying? I will never care for that woman ever again. It’s just a doctor’s obligation. Yeah. Davien remind himself on the back of her mind.

“Yes, mejo many were confined last night so I have to stay and lend some hand. Did you wait for me?” Davien decided to lie. “Did you sleep early last night? Gael dropped you home?”

“Yes. I went to bed early, Gael took me home too.” Avah lied to. He didn’t want to know that he was still awake last night because Davien might just feel guilty. She is so tired of working all night that she will upset her husband. “How’s Alexa? I hope she’s okay.” The two began to walk slowly in the park.

“Can we please not talk about her or work or anything today? Let’s just enjoy this sunny day. We haven’t had a proper date as far as I can remember.” Davien says. He picked her hands up and they walked holding hands.

As they hold hands people look at them. More especially, the girls look at Davien as they judge Avah. Kesyo ang manang naman ng kasama ni kuya, ang gwapo naman ni kano yung kasama no comment, sana ako na lang si ate, napaka old fashion naman nung babae. Those are the litany of women who can”t accept that Avah is beautiful even if she”s just wearing that dress.

Davien looks like a professional lawyer while Avah looks like a maid. But who cares? Because for Davien, no beauty can surpass Avah’s.

Davien can hear the whispers of the people who say things about his wife. To shut them up and to show how much he loves Avah, he carried it. She pinned Avah’s skirt between her arm and her thigh. Avah was shocked when her husband did that.
