That Doctor Is Mine

In a calm tone, I said, “I’m full. I’m from the party.” I lay down again on the pallet and covered myself with a blanket. This week I will go to Mother Segunda. Only he can give me the right decision.

“Avah, we aren’t done talking yet.” Davien said again.

Since I’m a little sober, I also mentioned his name in my interview. I replied to him, “Davien, I’m tired. You also said I’m pregnant, there are many taboos. Please also think of giving me peace. I want to sleep and rest. Please don’t bother me tonight. ”

When I closed my eyes I quickly fell asleep.

[Davien’s Point of View]

I grew up without father. He cheated on my mother when I was just a boy, just 10 years old that time. My mother was a doctor too, she raised me and my younger sister, Daniela alone using her salary, the product of her sweat, tears and knowledge.

Since I haven’t experienced having a father, maybe that’s the reason why I want to take care of the child in Avah’s womb. And one more thing, I feel like I want to get married too. I feel like I want to have another reason and inspiration to struggle with life. In fact, I was about to invite Alexa to get married. Alexa, my four year relationship but she broke up because I am a doctor and I have more time for my patient.

If he hadn’t divorced I would have definitely left work today because I’m arranging our wedding. But no matter how much I loved him then, mama really didn’t like him. Mama would almost jump for joy when she found out that we were separated. Alexa is said to be artistic, and lazy and very jealous.

Come on man! Stop thinking about her!

I shook my head to get her out of my mind. I looked at Avah who was turned away. Even her back is still beautiful. Looking at the small bed, remembering how we make love on it last night made my anger fade away. It was replaced by temptation. God damn. I was never been this sexually active! What the fuck is wrong with my fucking horny hormones?

Because of the sudden heat of my body, I entered his small bathroom. The water is cold because it’s night, besides the faucet has no temperature control. But I’m still thankful. I can have a cold shower.

After easing myself, I walk naked on the room. Who cares? She’s asleep. And even if he’s not asleep, what? He saw it again. I grabbed my bag and took my boxer shorts and sweater. After getting dress, I lay down next to Avah.

It was as if my own brain had given birth to my arm and hand because I suddenly hugged Avah. No matter how much I wanted to pull my hands back to myself, I couldn”t. She’s so damn warm, and good-smelling. Then later, I was able to fall asleep.

The scene next morning was quite amazing and I don’t know … its exciting. Not because I wake up and she’s naked, no. Strange because I woke up while Avah was cooking in her small kitchen. It was like mama to papa and Daniela and me. Her dark long hair was tied and watching her from her back was intriguing and entertaining. She will make a perfect wife, I already can see it.

I stood up, as much as possible I don’t want her to know that I’m already awake. What the hell is with me? Why am I acting like a silly in love idiot in high school? Despite of all my thoughts, I still found myself on her back. I asked, “what are you cooking?” in my just-woke-up tone.

Avah was obviously surprised because she jumped when I suddenly asked her so close.

“w-no, just eggs.” His answer was weak and muttering.

I could smell Avah’s fragrant hair. She has taken a bath. Damn. She’s sweating because of the heat from burner. And the smell of the food she’s cooking is already part of her personal odor.

I can’t stay another minute. My hormones are very active for Avah. I quickly walked away and took my clothes from his desk last night.

“I’ll be leaving now. Think of what I’ve said last night Avah. About the marriage. And don’t try to hide, I will always come to find where on heaven or church you are hiding. And if you ‘ I’ll do what you did last night for the second time, I’m saying I’ll take you to church soon just to get married as fast as possible. ” As I say those things I put on my clothes.

I saw Avah’s shoulder rise and fall. Meaning she breath deeply. She turns around and says, “give me a few days to think about don. At least for a week.” The graceful of her voice.

Fuck! She is so damn beautiful!

I approached Avah then I said, “until Sunday, then. But no matter what decision you come up with, we will get married. Period.” I said firmly. I wasn’t able to control myself because I pulled Avah closer and crushed her with a kiss. “I’ll go now, see you later.” Then I let him go. I saw how surprise she was. My eyes didn’t miss her red cheeks. And God yes! Sister do know how to blush!

Before I could just turn around and suffocate her with my kiss, I went out.

On Sunday, I visited mama and my sister at our house in Alabang. It is a private village named Whiteheights Village and only upper class family lives in there. That is where I grew up with my mother and younger sister.

I pressed the doorbell. Mama get out of the house, she saw me through the lined gate and I saw how excited and happy she was to see me. Her smile shows white set of teeth, it reaches her eyes.

“Hijo! Oh, you’re here!” she said as she unlocked the gate. I smiled towards her and then opens my arms widely. As soon as the gate opened, mama quickly hugged me. “Why did you come unannounced? I could have cook for you!” he said after our tight hug.

“There’s no need for that, mama.”

“Don’t you missed my dishes?” she pouted like a little girl.

“Of course, I did missed it. But I’m afraid that someone will have to cook for me aside from you, ma.” I chuckled. I’m giving her a clue about my upcoming settle down. For later after I reveal my plans, she wouldn’t be so shocked. “Is she here? Daniela?”

Mama and I get in. She locked the gate again. Since my car wouldn’t fit on their garage I won’t let it in anymore. There are two cars in the garage, Toyota Corolla ALT15 and Toyota Hiace. This people are into Toyota and I’m not. The space only fits two cars so even if I wanted to pull my car in, there’s no choice.

When we got to the living room, I saw there my younger sister. She’s on her phone, sitting in the single couch with crossed legs, wearing a piece of fabric that is not very appropriate for me. I think the clothes she’s wearing is called crop top and short shorts. It’s not very pleasing to see my own sister wearing such clothes. Maybe if Avah would use it I might find it sexy, but that’s impossible.

“You shouldn’t have worn anything, Daniela. The hell is that style?” My brother was obviously surprised by my voice as he quickly put down his cellphone and quickly raised his head and looked at me.

“Kuya!” Her smile bloomed and she stands up. She gave me a bear hug then a peck on my cheeks.

“Get dress, it’s gross.” Daniela’s face suddenly turned sour at my comment.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Gross? You shouldn’t be saying that because first, I’m home with mom only, second you came here without even telling us and third this is a millennial style!” Daniela retorted.

“Good point.” Mom sided with Daniela.

“Whatever.” I said bored.

“Why are you here, Kuya? You don’t visit us twice every two weeks.” My younger sister look at me with that questioning stare.

“Let’s seat, I have an announcement.” We walk towards the living, Daniela sat back to her throne, I sat in a long couch with mama by my side. They just looked at me, waiting for my announcement. After a very deep breath, I finally found my courage to say, “I’m getting married.”

My mom and sister’s reaction was the same. It’s a loud “what ?!” Then mom added, “No! No, no! I thought you broke up with Alexa ?! Why are you suddenly marrying her? You know I don’t like that damn thing! I’m against it! I’m so against this marriage! If you will continue that disaster, you can forget that you have a mom! ” She bursts dramatically. Both mom and Daniela don’t like Alexa, when we’re still in relationship, of course it hurts, but at least Daniela is supportive. She don’t throw shade on Alexa, she’s good at pretending unlike mom.

“Whoa … I calm down. We’ve got to hear what Kuya Vien has to say.”

“No! Maybe that woman charmed you what? Why! Why her !?”

“Ma, ma! Alexa’s not the woman!” I take the lead here. Mama’s terrified face quickly disappeared when she heard that. But I still can see the fear in her eyes. “I’m going to be a father soon, with a decent woman.”

“Y-you’re …?” There’s a moment of silent. The information might still be sinking in on their heads until, “I’m going to be a grandmother! Thank God! And with a decent woman? Oh my! Not Alexa’s? This is a blessing!” she cried out.

Daniela was still shook. She keep on asking if there’s a hidden camera, if it was a prank and shit. While me, I said “yes, you can say that it is a blessing. Because Avah was once a nun, almost an abbess.”

“W-what?” Now was my mom’s turn to stammered.
