That Doctor Is Mine

“Excuse me!!” the delivery guy’s papanic shout. Noah immediately grabbed Avah’s hand, he pulled the woman close and just as about crashing the cart to the woman, Avah was already in his arms. He saved the girl from colliding with the cart.

“You need to be careful when you’re doing your job!” Noah scolded the man who had lost control of pushing earlier.

“I-I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t hit ma’am on purpose.” said the man he thought the two were together.

Suddenly the two were separated from each other. Avah quickly slipped out of the man’s arm and stood up straight.

Avah smiled at the guy and said gently, “That’s okay brother. It’s also my fault. I’m blocking the way.”

Noah watched the woman in mused. If he was in New York, the contents of the cart would have been scattered, the man would have been fired and the victim would have been furious. But this woman is different. All of her features yells kindness. Noah was intrigued.

He doesn’t notice that his gaze is fixed on the woman until she looks up at him. Their eyes locked. With a kind smile on her face, Avah said, “thank you for saving me.”

That’s when the elevator opened without Noah noticing that it was running.

“All right, ha.” Avah said goodbye to the two men in the elevator. Then she made her way to Melanie’s condo unit. It’s his birthday and he wants to visit his friend. The last time they met was when they married Davien which is already a week ago.

Noah stare at the door where she exited. That was the first time he was attracted to a woman whose body was wrapped tightly. What he meant was innocent and purely beautiful inside and out.

“May Scissors Straight,” Davien calmly commands as he has an operating patient.

It was a construction worker who accidentally fell from the second floor of the building under construction. The man has internal bleeding and damage that Davien is now working on a way to get back to normal. All the surgical equipment that Davien mentioned was quickly handed to him.

“Bone Clamps,” Davien held his hand as he waited for the material. Every time he handles the right tools he quickly returns to the operation. “Osteotomes,” there was a small broken bone Davien removed. It blocks the blood vessel causing further aggravation of internal bleeding.

Once he finished the surgery successfully, he said, “stitch the cut in his flesh and skin. Observe the vitals and his breathing. If his case got worsen call me immediately. Finish the work.” He said in his usual doctor voice.

“Yes, Doc. Sebastian,” said his operating assistants.

When Davien exited the Operating Room, he quickly took off his face mask, gloves, surgical cap and gown. He threw it in the trash right across from the operating room. Those used materials are no longer useful or recyclable because they already contain various bacteria and micro organisms that are not safe to be exposed to the air.

Right after throwing all the protective clothing a rushing nurse approached Davien. She said, “Doc. Sebastian! You are needed to Emergency Room!”

“I will be there in a minute.” He said as calm as a doctor should be. Since he is a doctor, he should just be calm at all times. Even if the patient is only 50/50 or his relatives are already missing. They are taught to be calm. When Davien saw a nurse nearby, he ordered her to bring him new protective clothing because he had a new patient to operate on. “Bring it to the ER immediately.” David commanded.

Davien had another two patients who both lasted three and a half hours. Since his admission, many have been admitted to the hospital in a critical condition and must be operated on as soon as possible.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Due to the large number of patients, he only realized that it was 9:21 P. M. Davien quickly took off his hospital gown. He hung it in his office and then he left the hospital.

Even though the nurses who got married knew it was their ‘doctor crush” they couldn”t help but wish it a good night. Because Davien is not a snob, he is smiling at them as an acknowledgment which is a reason for the young nurses to be thrilled. He uses his Maybach parked in the parking lot exclusively for hospital employees.

Although he is very tired of all the operation he saved, he can’t stop himself from smiling. He will see his wife again. Their first week as a legal couple was the best week for Davien as a man. It felt strange that he was going home with someone waiting for him. He would wake up in the morning to eat freshly cooked by his wife and not order at any restaurant. Davien is even more excited because little by little Avah’s pregnancy is becoming obvious. Her baby bump is growing day by day.

When he reached their house, he blew his horn. Every night Avah opens the gate for him which made him wonder why the husband is not coming out now. Maybe she’s already sleeping. He concluded that is why he opened the gate and closed it.

Davien entered their home. It was dark inside and it seemed like no one was there. Again, he thought the wife was asleep. He went to their room but Avah was not there. Davien started calling her name which almost echoed throughout the house but no Avah answered.

When he went to the kitchen, he only saw the note left by Avah attached to the refrigerator. The piece of paper says:

Maybe you can come home to me first, I went to Melanie. Her birthday. I have cooked some food. Just heat it, it’s inside the refrigerator.

-Avah

Davien’s ear seemed to smoke with anger. It’s okay for Avah to talk to a friend but what she doesn’t want is for her to go home for the night. If he leaves at night, Davien demands that he or Daniela or his mom be with him. While crumpling the piece of paper, Davien remembered that Hirro was Melanie’s type because the asshole have the woman’s number. He quickly initialed Hirro’s number. The man answered the call. Davien asked for Melanie’s number, he explains why. And heaven was so good to him because he found out that Hirro is actually with Melanie and Avah at the moment. But not at the very moment because the friend is in CR. Hirro sent the address of the restaurant where they are celebrating Melanie’s birthday.

Davien hasn’t changed his clothes yet. He remained inside of red long sleeve, black pants and black leather shoe. He immediately drove to the restaurant where his wife was.

“Melanie, I really need to leave. Maybe Davien is already at home. It would be annoying when he finds out until now I haven’t been home yet.” Avah promised and she convinced Melanie. Avah greeted her a happy birthday once again then she left their table.

When Hirro returned to their table, he immediately asked where Avah was.

“She just left. She said she’s going home and Davien might get angry.”

“Oh, shoot! Davien is coming here.” Hirro said as he sat down on his chair. “Give me a minute, I’ll tell Davien. He might see Avah on the way.” Then Hirro made a phone call.

Since there was no jeep or bus passing through the private location of the restaurant, Avah just walked to the high way. He also walks for fifteen minutes. He enjoys the view of tall and colorful buildings in the city.

After the call, Davien rolled his eyes on the high way. She was looking at everyone, maybe that Avah. As he approached the location mentioned by Hirro, Davien saw his wife in the pedestrian lane. The problem is both one way roads. He will have to use the U-turn to get to the other line. And the U-turn is one kilometer far from him. Why is it that he always forgets to buy his wife a cellphone!

His pace was slow because he was watching his wife who seemed to be enjoying the colorful city lights. A minute passed until a car stopped in front of the wife.

Noah knew that she was the same girl that caught his attention! He got out of his car. A car that he invested a year ago for his arrival in the Philippines will no longer be a problem for him.

“Hi!” Noah greeted.

“You’re the one in the elevator?” Avah asked. Noah smiled at her. The young man is happy because the woman remembers him.

When Davien saw that Avah was talking to a man, he stepped on his gas and he made a meter a kilometer because of the speed of his running.

“Yeah. Do you need a ride?” Noah asked. The smile never left his lips.

“Ah, not anymore. We’re only two buses away.” Avah kindly rejected Noah.

“It’s okay. It’ll be my pleasure to give you a lift.” He insisted.

For some reason, Avah seems to see some parts of Davien’s face on Noah’s face. What he didn’t know was that the two were brothers with the father. Noah knew that he had a half brother and sister. He also know their name but their looks remained misery for him. And the more he didn’t know that the woman he wanted was his brother’s wife.

“By the way, my name is Noah.” Noah held his hand for a hand shake.

“I’m Avah.” She replied as she accepted his hand. Instead of shaking hands, Noah kissed the woman’s hand. The two were in such a scene when Davien caught up with them.

He stepped on his break and quickly got out of the car. Because Avah was surprised and her eyes were on her hand which was now on Noah’s lips, she was unaware of the approaching husband.

They were both surprised when Davien pushed Avah. She landed on his firm arms. Avah was beyond shock when she saw Davien. She feels that her husband has caught her cheating.

“Stay away from my wife.” David warned Noah.

“Stay away from my wife.” Davien said between greeted teeth. He got even angrier when he saw Avah’s hand clinging to the lips of the stranger in front of him.
