That Doctor Is Mine

After mass Avah left the convent. Father Arnulfo talked to him briefly during lunch. After that, he went to his mother, Mother Segunda. He looked for it in his room but there was none, because by asking questions he found out it was in the church itself. Avah found the old nun sitting on the classic piano, the old -fashioned instrument they used whenever they sang as the Parish Choir. The only piano reason for Avah to know how to use it.

Mother Segunda plays the Song Of Desire written and applied to the music of the Bukas Palad Music Ministry. When the music came to its chorus Avah began to sing with her voice God”s grace. He is like an angel singing. Mother Segunda’s head was raised and her happiness welled up in her heart when she saw the child. The nun was even more interested in playing.

“I remember you

While lying down

Because Your help is always there

In the shade of Your wings

I sing with joy. ”

While singing, Avah approached her standing mother until she stood beside the nun.

When their music ended, Avah said, “Mother, I need your guidance,”

Segunda frowned. He looked at the maiden and asked, “how’s the guide, Sister?”

“The father of my children showed me, Mother. He said he didn’t want our son to grow up without a father. He wanted marriage, but marriage is a holy sacrament, Mother. I’m a mess, I’m not know what I have to do, say and answer. What does the Lord want for me? All I want is to serve Him. ” Avah said sadly.

“Sister, whatever is happening to you now is according to the will of the Lord. But the decision should not come from me, your life is what you are consulting with me, Sister. All I want is for you to be happy in your new life, together your child and if possible the father of the child. Marriage is a holy sacrament, but not everyone who is married loves, sometimes they finally find true happiness. That is my opinion but the decision should not be come from others, you must Sister. You are in control of your life, and remember that in every step you face God is there. ” Long mantra of the old nun.

Silence prevailed between the two of them until Mother Segunda said, “Would you like to sing with me? Singing makes you feel better.” Avah smiled at the old man then they continued singing sacred music.

Before Avah left she prayed first. He prayed that his decision would be right. Because it was already dark when Avah left the church, she arrived at her house around seven o’clock.

Just like last night Davien was already there, waiting for him.

“Where are you from?” mejo the young man asked irritably.

“I’m from the Convent, and I have an answer about what you want.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Davien frowned. He could not understand what the girl was saying. “What does that mean?” Aniya.

Avah looked up, she met the young man’s gaze before saying, “I’m already consenting to the marriage.”

“I’m already consenting to the marriage,” the young man’s face quickly brightened because of Avah’s statement. But Avah quickly calmed down. He said, “but! But on one condition,” Davien frowned again.

What condition will it be? The young man asked himself. Later, he put his questions to life. “What condition?” He asked.

Avah took a deep breath. Then she said, “while we are not married you will leave here. You will not come home, sleep or live here. While we are not married I would have liked to be alone first. I am the only one, no one else but myself and the child ko. ”

Davien sighed. If that’s what Avah wants go ahead, she’ll give. After all, they will soon get married because Davien is rushing the process, especially since he has already announced it to his mother and brother. His mother was the chief in charge of the child’s marriage. In fact, her mother had already planned which church they would get married in.

After weighing the decision Davien spoke again. Anito, “sige, aalis ako. But not now, tomorrow is the effective date of your condition. But unfortunately, you can’t be alone tomorrow night because mama wanted to meet you and to talk about our marriage. I’ll pick you up by seven in the evening. ”

The girl could do nothing but nod and agree with whatever Davien said. The young man got up from his seat on the pallet. He pulled out the mat under the bed. She opened it, she put Avah’s old pillow there and her blanket. His soft and comfortable pillow was left on the bed, which he deliberately left for the girl. For its beautiful and comfortable sleep.

“Have you eaten?” Davien asks. Avah shakes her head side-to-side. Davien took his car key from the top of Avah’s desk. He approached the girl, stopped in front of her and stared at her. She is bent over here because she is taller than Avah. After looking at her for a period of time, Davien held her hand. He opened the door behind her and lead her out.

“W-where are you taking me?” Avah asked in astonishment.

“We’re going to eat.”

“Where? Don’t, I’ll just cook,”

“What are you going to cook? Instant noodles? Or canned foods? Eggs? No. We’re going to eat out.” Avah just kept quiet when Davien said that. He allowed himself to drift in the young man’s tow.

When they reached the vacant lot where Davien’s car was, Avah couldn’t help but ask. “That car is yours?” He was amazed because of the beauty and splendor of the car.

“Yes, and soon it’ll be yours too.” Davien said in a matter-of-fact tone. He opened the door for Avah. The woman looked at him first, if Davien hadn’t said he came in he was probably still looking at the young man as if asking.

While driving Davien couldn’t help but turn around and glance at the girl who was obviously amazed at the beauty of the car’s interior. Davien doesn’t know why but he chose to go to his favorite restaurant. Mejo has this distance and has a long drive. Ewan ba. Davien feels that he wants to be with Avah for a long time.

To get to know the girl better, Davien asks, “why do you want to be a nun, Avah?”

Avah was obviously surprised by the question because her eyes widened slightly. Davien thought the girl wouldn’t answer him but he was wrong. The girl said, “because I want to serve God for life. I want to teach children to believe in God. I believe my only purpose in the world is to teach His word but it looks like I can’t do that anymore …” she smiled of acrid.

Davien feels guilty somehow. He never lost his mind that the girl’s dream was ruined. But he believe that all this shit happened for a reason. That’s what he always says to himself. That everything has a reason. It’s just like her dad left them. His mother wouldn’t have stood that strong if not for his dad’s inflicted pain.

While driving Davien said, “of course you can still do it. I know you’ll raise our kid well and God-oriented.”

Avah was shocked at the word that came out of Davien’s mouth. She didn’t expect that Davien know how to speak like a gentleman. They even talked and Avah did not realize that she was becoming comfortable talking to the young man. Tonight Avah sees a different personality in Davien. Its kind and calm side. They talked about Davien”s job as a doctor, Avah”s desire to be a nun until Davien parked his car at the restaurant he frequented.

He got out of the car first and opened the door for Avah.

“Thank you,” the girl said as she finally got out of the car. Davien locked his car and then he put his right hand on Avah’s back. Escorting her towards the restaurant. The sudden warmth on her back brings cold shiver down her spine. There was again the tickling sensation that electrified Avah’s entire body.

He tried to ignore it until Davien opened the door to enter the restaurant again. The employees greeted them quickly. Avah is surprised because the people who work there know Davien.

“Why do they know you?” Avah asked as they walked further into the better part of the restaurant.

“I often eat here with …” and that’s when he remembered that this is the restaurant that he and Alexa often go to. “with my friends,” Davien continued.

They were close to their destination when suddenly a customer stood up. A man and a woman that’s having a dinner date, by the look of their table, its easy to conclude that it was a date. When the woman turns around, aiming to leave, she stops on her spot. Alexa and Davien’s eyes locked. Both are surprised and don’t know what to do.

Davien’s hand automatically wrapped around Avah’s waist. That simple movement didn’t escape Alexa’s eyes. While Avah was also surprised by Davien’s sudden embrace.

“Babe, what is it?” asked the man with Alexa when it stopped.

“D-Davien! You’re here?” Alexa asked while looking at Davien’s hand that was wrapped around Avah’s waist. Alexa look at Avah from head to toe, she’s seizing her, glaring at her. When Alexa pulled herself up, she decided to drive Davien angry, but no luck. Alexa said, “Babe, meet Davien. Davien, meet my boyfriend, Wilson.” She emphasizes the word boyfriend thinking that maybe it’ll hurt Davien but she was wrong.

Instead of seeing anger in his eyes, all Alexa saw was his neutral reaction. As if he wasn’t affected at all!

Davien replied saying, “Hi, I’m Davien.” He offered his hand which Wilson gladly took.

“Wilson,” said the young man with Alexa.
