Chapter 36
“Hi. You look beautiful.” Davien open the door widely.
“Why, thank you. You look amazing.” Avah return the compliment.
The two entered the house. When Avah scanned the house, she felt nothing had changed here. Then a huge picture of her unborn baby that is hanging on the wall caught her attention. The ultrasound picture of Angelo when he’s four months old in her womb.
Avah’s foot automatically stepped closer to the child’s picture. Davien watch her stopped in front of the huge picture. He caressed the picture and smiled sadly.
Davien went next to her.
“Our baby Angelo,” Avah smiled as she continue staring at her little angel.
Cannot hold his feeling anymore, Davien took Avah’s hand and said, “let’s go back to how we used to be, Avah. Please give me a second chance.”
Avah stare at Davien. Her eyes show how bewildered she was to Davien’s request. Avah quickly withdrew her hand.
“I-I’m sorry. Can we just eat?” She said, now all conscious and uncomfortable.
Before Avah could get away and go to the kitchen Davien took her hand again. He pulled her close as he crushed her body against his. He hugged his wife very tightly. He missed her so much. Davien always misses the warmth of his wife’s body, her smile, laughter, presence, her voice … everything about Avah he has been longing for for a long time. There was never a day that he didn’t think of the woman.
“Avah, please. Give me another chance please.” He whispered while securing the woman he love in his arms.
“Davien, get off!” Avah used her whole force to push him away. “This is over. I’m going home!” She burst out and then aim to walk away but Davien was fast to grip her wrist.
“This is your home, Avah.” Davien raised his voice.
“This ain’t my home! We are over the moment you lied to me and filed that damn annulment paper!”
Their problem two years ago is now only traded and talked about. The mention of what happened before made them feel like it all happened only yesterday. It was as if their little angel had disappeared just yesterday.
“I didn’t sign the damn paper, Avah! So in legal terms, you are still my wife and you fucking live in this place!” Davien shouted. “You left me! You left me without even hearing my story! Without even knowing what really happened! Then now you’re leaving me again? Do you even love me truly? Do you think all this time I’m having fun with life? I’d “been searching for you! But you try to stay away, Avah. And every time you walk away, I try to pick every broken piece of me. But I can’t complete my personality because you aren’t here.” Davien’s tone dropped as it started when he ran away with his tears.
Seeing him cry made Avah feel bad.
“Don’t turn the blame on me, Davien. And don’t even question my love for you because all of that is true!”
“If you did love me you wouldn’t leave me without a toothache. I’m like a fool waiting for you here, Avah.”
“You gave up on the two of us Davien! You gave up on me and you never visited me when I went with mom!” Remembering the days that Avah waited for the husband at the mother”s door bring her to the edge. He also cried non -stop.
“I didn’t give up, Avah. I gave you space because you said that is what you needed. I didn’t give up, the right term is you shut me out.”
“Because you lied to me! That’s why you were so sweet to me the night before the accident because you were guilty of cheating on me!”
“What do you mean?”
“Did you think I didn’t know that Alexa was with you the night you came home drunk? I know everything Davien. And seeing you kissing with that whore broke my heart. And so I gave you the freedom that you needed. That you wished for from the very beginning. So don’t blame me for everything that happened between us. ”
Right after Avah sent the annulment paper to Davien she received another brown envelope. Inside was pictures of her husband with Alexa. Printed and super clear that they are kissing. Alexa sent those. She retaliated against Avah when Davien hurt her.
“I’m leaving!” Avah said firmly and then turn around.
“Without even listening to me ?!” Davien remained standing on his spot. He watched his wife walk away. “If you leave now we’re over, Avah. If you take that door, you’ll surrender to the two of us.”
Avah halted. Tears flowing in her eyes. He closed his eyes tightly and opened the door and went out. Davien no longer chased after his wife. That was her decision and he respects her even if it hurts him so much.
Davien sat down dejectedly. He did not expect that to happen. He thought he saw something in her eyes when they met at church. Now it really is over. They are already broken.
As Avah walks out she cries out loud. She stopped at her tracks and looked at the couple’s house. She waited again. She waits for Davien to come out the door to chase her. It’s like the wait he did two years ago.
“If you take that door, you will surrender to the two of us”
He heard it over and over. It’s as if the things they argued before are just sinking in. Only now does he understand Davien’s point. Only now did he understand that they had suffered for two years because he had not given Davien a chance to explain himself.
Avah took off the high heels she was wearing and ran back home. When she entered the house, she heard a very loud shout from the kitchen. Simultaneously with Davien’s shout were loud crashes and shattering sounds.
Davien broke the dinner date prepared for them. For what else? It is useless.
Avah reached the kitchen and she covered her mouth when she saw that the kitchen utensils were completely destroyed. She also saw lots of wasted foods, flowers, candles scattered and feel bad. Davien did that for her but he let anger control him.
Davien did not know that the husband had returned. So when he broke the whole kitchen he sat to one side and cried quietly.
He was crying like that when a warm feminine pair of arms wrap him. Avah hugged tightly the husband who now had a wounded hand due to the loss made. She sat on his lap, both of her knees are on the other side of Davien’s thighs.
His head buried on her chest as Avah mumbled, “I’m so sorry … I’m so sorry, Davien … I’m really sorry … I love you, and I can’t leave you again. .. please forgive me. ”
Davien’s silent cry become loud. He wrapped his hand around Avah’s body and hugged it tightly.
“You came back …” Davien cried.
“Yes, I came back. I thought I could turn around and get away from you. But I can’t because all those years, I am still loving you. And I’m still hoping that you feel the same way about me. And I’m here right now asking for forgiveness because I gave up. I became weak so we lost our child and that’s why we broke up. ” Avah cried on Davien’s shoulder. “I’m so sorry, Davien! I let you suffer alone when I could have comforted you. I stayed away from you. I was angry with you. I love you so much that is why the pain I’m feeling became anger. But I see you every day I thought. That we would have been a happy family if I had just been stable … I love you, Davien. All this time, my love for you stayed the same. ” Avah poured out all the remorse she had done.
He didn’t know why he just now thought he was one of the reasons why they were broken. Maybe because she learned how to set her pride high. Or maybe because she was blinded by anger. Whatever the reason it doesn”t matter anymore because all she wants is to stay by her husband”s side.
“I love you, Avah. Only you and I will swear to cherish you, just give me another chance.”
Avah moved slightly away from her husband. And his answer was that he introduced her with a warm kiss.
“I love you too, Davien. I love you so much. And for the second time around, I’m promising that we will never be set apart.” Avah reiterated a promise made two years ago.
Davien caught her lips once again and devour it like he wasn’t promised tomorrow. He’s satisfying himself for two years of craving for Avah.
Davien snaked his hand on Avah’s nape as he pull her closer for the kiss that he’d been wanting in his every dream. Avah can kiss now unlike before. Davien kept thinking. Is there another man who can kiss his wife? The thought was unbearable. He doesn’t like the idea of somebody else kissing his wife because she belonged to only one person and that is Davien.
They both angled their head for a better access. Moving in sync and union as Avah grabbed a fistful hair of her husband. Tugging it and pulling it because of the mind blowing kiss. They let their tongues play with each other, taste every skin on of their lips. They can’t stop missing each other seconds by seconds. It’s been two years. And the attraction between them wasn’t dead. It was just sleeping, but there’s no reason to hold back now.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
They know that it’s their time. And they wouldn’t let anything come to their way. No. This time they’ve grown stronger, wiser and their marriage become unbreakable.
“I missed you … so much,” Avah breathed out when they broke the kiss. Both are panting and breathing fast. She leaned her forehead to his. The bridge of their noses are touching and they can smell each other’s fragrant breath.
