That Doctor Is Mine

Davien took Avah’s soft hands that would soon carry the ring symbolizing their single breast. They walk towards the altar. Facing them is a Reverent Father, higher than the normal priests in the Catholic church. And then the ceremony began which was conducted in English.

The priest, accompanied by Avah, first read some words of God because he had memorized the bible. How could he not master it when he was a child reading the books of the old and new testaments.

When they exchanged “Yes, I do” then the little boy approached. If called is the ring bearer. The two rings are on the white pillow. Davien initiated the act. He grabbed the smaller and feminine ring. He took Avah’s soft hand. Later, he slid the wedding ring onto her ring finger. He was looking at her hands the whole time.

It fit perfectly. And it look beyond beautiful on her. Commenting on Davien’s mind. Avah took the matching ring and she did the same action. When they put the ring on each other their eyes met.

“By the power lend to me as a Reverent Father, Davien and Avah, I now pronounced you husband and wife. Davien, you may now kiss the bride.” Masayang turan ng pari.

Davien holds the edge of Avah’s veil. He slowly opened it and left it behind Avah. Their eyes were fixed on each other as if they were the only people inside the church. Slowly, Davien put his both hands on Avah’s cheeks. He leaned closer, and closer until he can feel the softness of Avah’s lips against his. He kissed her passionately at first until he claimed his wife’s lips.

Avah can feel the gentleness of the kiss causing her to close her eyes.

All the guests who witnessed their oneness struggled to stand up while clapping. Divina and Segunda cannot hold their tears back. Divina was very happy for the child, so was Segunda for the girl who was considered her child.

When Davien broke the kiss, he didn’t take his face away. His palms stayed at her cheeks, his eyes were once again bored into her. The innocence in her eyes, the gentleness, the angelic face Avah behold are enough reason to lost control. And for the second time, Davien reclaimed the remains of the wife.

The applause grew louder again when Davien kissed Avah for the second time. If Davien and Avah’s friend just didn’t know the real reason why they got married, they would actually think that the two are really in love. They can see the attraction of the two to each other based only on their actions.

Avah’s heart was beating relentlessly. This is not the first time the young man has claimed her lips but when his heart beats it seems like this is the first time he has kissed her. There is something different about the young man’s kiss today. Gentle, gentle, a kiss that seems to express true feelings. It was different from the kiss they had already shared.

When Davien finished the kiss they were both gasping for breath. But they don’t notice it because so many people are watching them.

Davien bore his forehead on Avah’s. Then he said, “you look so damn beautiful.”

Avah immediately gulp her own saliva. Why does the young man speak such words? They do not love each other. Is it just acting because a lot of people are seeing? That”s their question in Avah”s brain. But even though many things were running through her mind she couldn’t help but remember the kiss they shared just seconds later.

“You are my wife now, Avah.” Davien said. Her name slipped his mouth like a sacred name. Avah’s name is a good thing. A name is holy, just like Avah herself.

“I know that,” Ava replied here.

“Good, because I don’t want to remind you all the time that you are my wife, mother of my child and mine. Mine alone.” He said possessively as if he was holding the title that would prove that the girl was his.

Avah look at him confused. He could not determine what that meant. Avah just drifted along the course of the situation and that she just realized that they had already left the church. When they left the convent, someone sprinkled flowers on them. Avah threw the flower she was holding as is tradition. The one who caught it was Melanie. As Avah looked at the friend with a big smile on her lips she didn’t expect Davien to lift her up. Her both knees are closed together, he was holding her by her back and the back of her knees.

“Let’s go to the reception, Mrs. Sebastian.” Davien said emphasizing her new name.

When Alexa regained consciousness, she did not expect to wake up inside the church. Gael, Hirro and Tim left Alexa inside the church, lying in the last row of chairs. After they left the maiden there they quickly went to the church where the wedding of their friend Davien would be held. Fortunately, they are still chasing.

“What the … urgh!” Alexa landed on her head as she got up and scratched her head. Then she remembered the dizziness feeling when Gael injected something on her arms.

Gael injected me a sleeping drug! Her thought wasn’t wrong because that’s exactly what Gael did. The wedding! Davien’s wedding! I’m supposed to stop it! Panicking spiked his mind.

Alexa grabbed her phone, she checked the time and it reads as 6:45 P. M. He quickly gathered his belongings and ran out of the church. Because he was afraid, he would inevitably be disturbed by the praying nuns. Her heels made a loud tak-tak-tak sound and it echoes in the church. Her noisy gestures earned glare from the nuns. The noise he made was a kind of insult.

But no matter how hateful glares she gets from the nun, Alexa doesn’t care anymore. All he wanted at the very moment was to stop what he called Davien’s ‘madness’. Where the bloddy hell is she? That was his question. He doesn’t know where he is. To locate her spot, she picked her phone again. Because she follows Davien’s friends on their social media accounts, Alexa saw the notification that Hirro went live on Facebook. That’s what’s on his notification panel.

She clicked the notification and it took her to a scene that not only broke her heart. He was also very angry. The caption says: “Davien and Avah’s wedding. Congratulations to the newly wed!”

Alexa watched the video. A clip where Davien unfolds the woman’s veil, and he kissed her not just once. But twice! Alexa didn’t care if she was in front of the church because she started shouting there like a market woman and had no high school education.

In a hotel the wedding reception was held. Because Divina actually provided money for Davien’s wedding, she entered into a contract with a Van Company. All guests are van to the hotel where the wedding celebration will be held. All the nuns and Avah”s companions in the church were mostly occupied by six vans. But of course, Davien has more relatives.

Since the wedding was held in the afternoon, the after party started at eight o’clock. Avah and Davien have not been exchanged because the celebration will only last two hours. The first part of the party is the dinner of the guests as well as the couple. After that was the first slice of the wedding cake that was almost as tall as a five -year -old child because of its size. Avah was confused when she handed Davien a cake while Davien was staring at Avah from the moment they arrived at the reception. They also did the traditional sipping of wine while their arms are crossed to each other.

Because it is a tradition in the Philippines for the newlyweds to dance and they will be given money, Divina pulled her son and Avah to the middle of the dance floor. Then there is the music that prevails in the area.

Davien grips on Avah’s waist tightly. If he could hold his wife’s waist, he would seem to escape. He is staring straight into her eyes. Her tantalizing eyes that became even more painful because of the long eyelashes placed on her eyelid. Davien will never tire of admitting to himself how beautiful the wife is.

Davien pulled Avah closer to him. He took Avah’s hand and hung it on his shoulder, then he put his hand back on his wife’s waist.

“Davien, did you forget I’m pregnant? The tightness of your hold on my waist,” Avah moaned because maybe Davien’s still possessiveness was the reason for the loss of their child.

“No. I haven’t forgotten that you’re bearing my child.” Davien replied while still staring at Avah’s face. He was then lost.

Do i have dirt in my face? Why is he staring at me like this? Avah asks herself. He shifted his gaze. It was only then that he noticed Davien’s mother who had been taking a picture of them earlier. They also started to flood the dance floor. Almost all the blue and yellow bills are hanging on the new couple.

“You’re not going back to that place,” Davien whispered.

Avah’s eyebrows and forehead furrowed. He looked up to see his wife. Avah asked, “what do you mean?”

“That you will live with me. On our house. And at least I’ll watch over you while you’re pregnant. You’re also leaving your job. I can provide for us.” He said firmly. It was as if Avah would hit the wall if she went against whatever Davien wanted.

“But I have to go back there to get my things,”

“You don’t need them. I can buy new for you. Everything that you want, just name it.” Davien answered quickly.

“I do not want.” Avah spoke loudly.

“You do not want?” Davien held his brow high. He was irritated because Avah is disobeying him.

“My bibles are there, all of them are special to me so I don’t want to. I’ll take them.” Davien realized. Of course, she married someone who had strong faith in God.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Okay, tomorrow. I’ll go with you.” Avah objected but Davien ended the conversation when he said that if he was not with her he would forget his valuables.

It was about ten o’clock in the evening when the party ended. At only nine o’clock, Mother Segunda left with other colleagues. Davien was using his Lamborghini when the two of them went home. With no assistant, it was Davien who opened and closed the gate.

Starting tonight, he is no longer the sole owner of the house. He can no longer sleep alone in his room, in his bed. Everything has changed. And Davien like those changes. He is so looking forward to the future nights that he can be with his wife in the same bed. By just thinking about it, he became sexually active again.

Davien was carrying Avah when he let his wife into their room. But before they reached the second floor safely, they went through another argument because Avah tried to get down but Davien didn’t want to let her go. Whatever Avah refused, and insisted on walking, the husband seemed deaf because he pretended to hear nothing.

As soon as Davien closed the bedroom door, he took big steps as he approached Avah. He squeezed his wife’s waist and pressed a kiss to Avah.

“Shall we consummate our wedding?” he asked hoarsely then added, “Oo nga pala’t nauna na ang honeymoon keysa sa wedding. But I guess I wouldn’t let this night pass without happening.” He said with a wicked smile and then he assaulted Avah’s lips once again. But this time, Avah started responding on his kiss.

Davien is suffocating Avah with his deep and penetrating kiss. His hands around her waist is too tight, he’s pinning her under his control. Even though the husband is not struggling, Davien applies force to his embrace. Maybe because Avah suddenly regained consciousness and suddenly pushed her.
