That Doctor Is Mine

And the rest was history. They lost in ecstasy.

Around 9:30 when they arrived at the hospital. The first place they went to was their godmother at the wedding, Dr. Talaveda. She run few examinations for Avah’s pregnancy and an ultrasound. As the couple watched their little angel on the screen the smile could not be erased from their lips.

Davien is already wearing his laboratory gown. The couple waited for the old woman. Davien did not know how to read the results of examinations for pregnant women. That’s not his interest. So he just let the mother -in -law discuss the result.

They were sitting on the couch when she entered her office. He took the result from the examination room. She sat down in a single couch and then she cross her legs.

“I’ve encountered the same cases but knowing the two of you made me feel awkward discussing this issue.” Pauna by Dr. Rosana Talaveda.

“Why? Is there something wrong with the baby?” Dr. Sebastian asked. His eyes has a hit of nervousness.

“No, no. Your baby is healthy, Dr. Sebastian.” Rosana promises in a professional tone. The policy is that they are only professionals when they are inside the hospital, but when they are outside, they can let go of the formality. “But I need to advice, you, Dr. Sebastian to avoid involving your wife from any sexual intercourse because it might eventually affect the baby.” Rosana said as she emphasizes the word ‘you’ because she knows Davien is the one to talk about it not Avah. Avah’s cheek was like a red tomato because of what the doctor said. If another doctor said no, maybe it wouldn’t be so embarrassing. “Overall, the baby is in a very good condition. Your baby is about 7. 6 -10 cm (3-4 inches) long and weighs about 28g (1 ounce). Since your baby’s most critical development has taken place, your chance of miscarriage drops considerably after three months into the pregnancy. ” Rosana said while looking at the papers on her hands.

“At least, I can rest assured that my child is fine.” Davien mumbled. It was as if a thorn had been pulled out of his chest. He thought something bad had happened to his son.

After their talk with Dr. Talaveda suddenly called Dr. Sebastian and the nurse. There is a new patient and he is needed to Emergency Room. The couple said their good bye to each other. Fortunately, Avah said early on that her friend Melanie would be going out with them. They kiss good bye and Avah leaves the hospital. Because Avah has a cell phone, it will be easy for them to meet Melanie.

Twice a week Alexa goes to the hospital hoping that Davien will talk to her about their relationship. That’s why when he saw Davien kiss Avah on her lips, his nose almost smoked with anger. Alexa followed Avah. I will confront him because he can no longer see his former self who is already in someone else.

When Avah got out of the hospital, she received a text message from Melanie. Mel said she was very close to the hospital. Avah was reading the text message when someone touched her shoulder.

Avah turned with a smile on her lips. But that smile was replaced by surprise when she received two hard slaps from Alexa. Her both cheeks turn red due to the force of Alexa’s slap. Wrestling. That was the only thing that made Avah’s face smile.

Melanie had just gotten out of the taxi that time and she saw how the friend was slapped. Anger rises through Melanie’s body. He could almost break his own phone by holding it so tightly because he was shivering.

He quickly approached the woman with her back turned to slap Avah. She heard Alexa said, “the first slap is for seducing my Davien. The second slap is for stealing him from me! Malandi ka!”

When he approached the naughty woman completely, he also touched her on the shoulder.

“What ?!” Alexa scream to Melanie.

Melanie waved her right hand and it landed on Alexa’s cheek with vigor. He did the same on the other side of his cheek and followed again to the right. Never mind that Alexa received three super -strong slaps from Melanie.

“The firs slap if for slapping my friend, the second one is for slapping my ‘pregnant’ friend and the last one is for ‘accusing’ my pregnant friend for something that she ‘never’ did.” Melanie emphasizes the key words. “What are you going to fight? Go ahead! Bring it on!” Melanie glared at Alexa.

Avah cannot recover from receiving hard slaps. He was just stunned by the speed of events.

“Did you just laid your hands on my me?” Alexa is sick of Melanie.

“Oh yes! And I don’t just laid my precious hands on you. I slap your face damn hard and I enjoyed it as much as I’m enjoying myself watching you with red cheeks right now.” Melanie confessed in English to Alexa.

“You bitch!” Alexa put her hands in the air aiming to slap Melanie back but she was fast to grab her hands. Melanie catchers her wrist and then pushes her with too much force making her fall in the ground butt first.

“Don’t you dare laid your filthy hands on me, or on Avah again. Do you think you’re the only one who’s brave? Yes, I am a goddamn bitch and I will never back off if you’re the only one who’s the opposite. Look at yourself! Before calling people slut, you need to check yourself first! You look like a stripper in the men’s club! I pity you! I so pity you because you are fucking pathetic! ” Melanie shouted at Alexa who was now sitting on the floor.

The fight are starting to draw attention from the public. Avah went next to Melanie and told her to stop.

“Mel, that’s right. I’m fine.” Avah plea.

“No, Avah. This bobita needs some lectures.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Alexa rose from the ground. He laughed bitterly and barked back. “Lectures? Hah! I don’t need your lectures bitch! Your friend needs guidance! I heard you’re almost a nun? Hah! What kind of church person are you? You’re attracting other people’s relationships! Worst, You got pregnant which made Davien have the obligation to marry you! Your friend is embarrassing! ”

People watching the scandal started by Alexa started to murmur.

“Enough, Alexa. I know everything! Hirro told me every little thing and you have no right to Davien because you’re stupid!” Melanie screamed.

“Mel, please. That’s enough …”

But Melanie wouldn’t let Alexa pass. “Ladies and gentlemen, this beautiful girl is still chasing other people’s wives. Big yuck to you Alexa! You’re a plague!”

Avah started dragging Melanie. But before they could get away Melanie took off her heels which were three inches high. He accidentally threw it at Alexa who was hit in the chest.

“Go to hell bitch !! Bring my shoes! Oh, here it is !!” Melanie took off the pair of shoes and threw them at Alexa again. This time the shoe landed on Alexa’s tummy. They left Alexa cursing opposite the hospital. The people are looking at her and they are the ones who are ashamed of what she is doing.

The two took a taxi with Melanie wearing no shoes.

“Are you okay, Avah?” Melanie remembers asking the friend after she said the address of the condominium. Melanie can see the mark of Alexa’s hand on Avah’s both cheeks. Probably the slap he received was too strong because he wouldn’t blush and pull like that if it was weak. “Hirro is right. That gaga is really crazy.” Even Melanie.

“Who is he, Mel? Why does he say I kidnapped Davien?” Asked the innocent Avah who was unaware of the event.

“I only found out about Hirro. That crazy woman is Alexa Torres, Davien’s ex -girlfriend. She hasn’t moved on yet.”

“B-maybe they’re still really in love …” Avah’s feelings hurt when those words came out of her own mouth.

“Avah, no! They were separated before you and Davien met! Don’t down yourself! You must be fighting that witch because you have a right. Davien is your wife. Don’t let her get mad at you when you’re stupid a! ”

“But Mel … what if I’m the only one who ruined the two of them? We know Davien only married me because I’m pregnant.” Avah’s tears rolled down her cheeks. Her cheek hurts too. Alexa’s pulp pain was biting.

“Avah, believe me. He might not love you now but time will come. We see how Davien looks at you, and any men will fall for you because that’s you, Avah. Kind and beautiful inside and out. Just crazy Alexa really, don’t ever ever compare yourself to that woman. The size of the difference. ”

“Ma’am, we’re already here,” shouted the taxi driver. Melanie gave him a two hundred peso bill and they went downstairs and entered the building.

Noah just got back to the condo from cemetery. He visited his mother there because he was buried in the Philippines when she passed. When he entered the building he saw Avah’s familiar presence again. Don’t know him. Even though he knew that the woman was married, and that he was still his half brother, he couldn’t help but admire her.

There”s a time when Noah asks himself, why Avah? There’s so many woman in this world. Maiden and just as innocent as her but why? Why can’t I just forget my growing affection for her?

Using his long legs, he quickly matched the walk of Avah and Melanie.

“Hi!” Noah greeted with a big smile. Melanie and Avah tilted their heads, their eyes landed on Noah’s.

“Back off. My friend is married, and she’s pregnant with her husband. Three months pregnant.” Melanie sighed because she knows that tone and the nature of the men. During her time in the world, she has mastered the movements of men, unlike Avah who does not know much more. How come he locked himself in the church all his life.

“Melanie, it’s okay I know him. He’s Davien’s brother. Noah,” Avah said shyly. Melanie is the tongue twister. Anyone will just fight for her sake.

“Ah, is that so? I’m sorry, I was harsh.” Melanie said afterwards.

“It’s okay,” Noah smiled to Melanie and then he put his eyes back to Avah’s face. That is when he notices the mark of hand in her cheeks. “What happened here? It’s all red, are you okay?” Noah caressed Avah’s cheeks which earned a flinch form her. He was reluctant to be touched by others, especially since he remembered what his wife had said the night before. He did not want to be close to his brother Noah.
