That Doctor Is Mine

Davien took Avah’s envelope and wallet that were already stained with blood. When he look what’s inside the envelope, his heart skipped a beat. It was the annulment paper! He already burned it! So why is that there? Then he remembered the most current suspicious event in the hospital. He can only think of one thing. The nurse he saw came out of his office.

Davien ran to the office where the CCTV cameras footage was visible.

“Davien! Where are you going ?!” Divina shouted.

Davien reviewed the CCTV footage installed in the hall just outside his office. He saw Alexa there as if listening to the conversation and then it hit him! That was the day and time Gael and I talked about the annulment paper. He also saw Alexa enter the hospital the next day from a CCTV angle. Until it came out of the bathroom in nurse attire.

“I’m going to kill you!” He said greeted teeth then he left the office. He exited the hospital and quickly drove to Alexa’s apartment.

Davien gripped the steering wheel too tightly. Almost all the nerves in his hand will come out because he’s gripping on the steering wheel so hard due to his anger.

When he reached her apartment, he ran to the elevator. His hands were into fist. When the elevator stopped on the floor where Alexa was staying, she knocked on its door.

“Open the door! Open the goddamn door, Alexa!” Davien shouted.

When Alexa opened her up, the first thing Davien did was strangle her in the neck. Davien never been violent to a woman, but Alexa drives him to his limit. At those times he could afford to kill Alexa.

“Did you send the annulment papers to Avah? Answer me!” Davien shouted at the woman. He crushed her against the wall while chocking her.

“H-hin-di a-ako m-maka-h-hinga …” Alexa said in a broken voice as she tried to remove Davien’s hand from her neck. She’s starting to turn into pale red, tears are also coming out of her eyes.

“I told you the last time. I will kill you, Alexa!” Davien shouted at the woman.

“Hey! Let her go!”

If no resident passed by and Davien was not pushed away Alexa would die at his hands.

Alexa started crying. She seemed to be out of breath if the man who helped her was a second late. She saw the flaming anger in Davien’s eyes. It looks like he was determined to kill her earlier.

Alexa’s breathing was steady and fast. He fills the lungs with air. Her cries were also loud, she was also trembling with extreme fear.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Later, Davien’s cellphone rang. Its from his mom. Davien answered that.

Divina cries next to Avah’s mother Jacintha. Divina called her when Davien left the hospital. Divina was able to say in pieces, “s-she had a miscarriage … w-the baby is gone, Davien …”

As if Davien transformed into a dangerous beast, he threw the cellphone at Alexa’s side. His phone shattered. A glass from its screen made a long cut in Alexa’s cheeks that bled quickly. Davien was consumed with anger so he destroyed everything he could find in Alexa’s house and when he got tired, he sat on the floor and cried the pain he felt as a father who lost a child.

It was noon when Avah opened her eyes.

She was dazzled by the light and comfort of the white room. Her mother was on her side. It was still crying yesterday. Avah’s family is all saddened by the loss of her child. And they didn”t know how to let him know.

What happened to Avah quickly spread to the public. The driver of the vehicle that collided with Avah is in jail. He was charged with reckless driving for violating the speed limit and traffic light.

Divina, Daniela and Jacintha watch over him. Noah and Nicholas dropped by this morning.

Davien was settling Avah’s hospital papers. He is always an idiot. She can’t believe you’re going to lose the child so fast. He also did not know how to deal with his wife. Now that Avah knows that Davien planned to break up, the guilty is swallowing her brain even more. But it hurts no more to know that your child is gone. That he was not given the opportunity to even touch the child.

Davien also thought that Alexa would file a complaint against him for hurting her. For obstructing the Republic Act 9262 also known as Philippine Commission on Women that stated the Anti-Violence against women and children. But Alexa really loves Davien so she can’t complain about it. This will only make him even angrier, and when davien gets angry with him the more he will lose his sprouted hope.

“Mom … where am I?” Avah is still weak. He received a bruise for throwing himself on the road.

Jacintha was almost thrown back from their seat when Avah regained consciousness. The three of them quickly approached him. They all have tears in their eyes. Avah couldn’t understand why they were crying.

“Ate … you’re awake,” Daniela cried. They all have red eyes and noses. Because of the introduction of them, Avah felt very nervous.

Avah caressed her stomach. Her heartbeat got stronger because of the nervousness, because she didn’t feel any bulge there. Jacintha have to cover her mouth to prevent her threatening loud sobs. He could not see that the child’s condition was like that. Their tears flowed even more as they watched Avah as if looking for her formerly big belly.

Avah also started to cry. But she tried to convince herself that the child in her womb was fine. But Avah feels like she’s just fooling herself.

“A-ang … a-ang a-anak ko, n-nay? A-it’s okay s-sya, isn’t it?” Although Avah was smiling, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

Davien was about to enter the room but he stopped when he heard his wife ask where their son was. Her tears fell automatically. Just as he listened to Avah’s sad voice, all the pain was coming back.

“Why aren’t you talking? My son is fine, isn’t he? Am I right?” That was the beginning of Avah’s very loud crying. He already knew the answer. He would just look at and listen to their grievances Divina, he already knew the answer to the question. Avah’s crying was so loud. He was like a child, like a baby when he was in great pain.

Avah’s mother hugged her. Jacintha whispers to her son that she is there. That he would survive that tragedy. Daniela and Divina do the same. Davien wanted to get in. He wants to sympathize with his wife for the loss of their child but why can’t he move his own foot? He did not know. He doesn’t know if Avah will accept him. He wanted to hug Avah tightly. He wanted to cry as hard as his wife. She wanted to cry with resentment over the loss of their child. But he was unable to get close to his wife.

Nothing hurts more than Davien’s condition. He is watching his own wife suffer when Avah doesn’t deserve even a bit of it. He watches it alone. She was crying and suffering alone. If only Davien could have taken all the pain.

He listened to Avah’s every sigh and accompanied her to tears. When Avah got tired of crying, she fell asleep. Even when he fell asleep, his little sobs did not stop there. Davien just entered the wife’s room when she was unconscious.

Jacintha didn’t know how to feel about Davien. Should she be mad at him? Or now? Shall Jacintha pity Davien? He did not know.

Davien watched Avah breathe. He watched it sleep. He just held Avah’s hand.

When Avah woke up, their family went out first to give the couple privacy. She couldn’t look straight on his eyes. Avah also withdrew her hand from Davien.

“Come out first. Please.” Avah whispered. The tears that dripped from his eyes were granular. But he tried to stabilize his feelings.

“I’m so sorry, Avah. I’m really sorry …” Davien said softly.

Avah was just quiet. He weighs the steps he will take and the next decisions. After a while he said, “Let’s split up,”

Avah bite her lips. He tries not to cry too hard but every time he restrains himself it seems like he wants to cry even more.

“A-Avah … why are you saying that? I-I can’t …” Davien stammered.

“Leave me first. I want to be alone.” Avah just stared out the window. In the blue sky where the child is now.

“Avah …”

“Get out! Leave me alone!” She scream and then she look straight into Davien’s eyes. Avah’s eyes were full of anger and sadness.

“O-okay … call me if you need-”

“I need to be alone, Davien. That’s what I need.”

“Okay, a-alright.” Davien agreed and left Avah’s room.
