That Doctor Is Mine

“Over my dead body.” He looked at his friend and took out his cellphone. “This is perfect.” She smiled devilishly as she stare at the pictures of her kissing Davien.

Everything is perfect. The annulment paper, the pictures and the timing. Tomorrow morning he will act.

“Just wait and see Charlotte. I’ll get my reward soon.”

Avah just smiles every time she remembers her husband’s sweetness last night. Even if he came home drunk, Avah didn’t bother him. Davien almost promised him the whole world last night, his voice was so gentle, his hug was so warm.

Avah was about to do laundry when she saw her husband’s dress last night. It had a red label, when she smelled it she realized it was lipstick. Avah just thought it might have come from her husband’s patient.

Later, someone rang the doorbell at their house. Avah released that.

“Yes?” he asked politely.

“Delivery for Mr. Sebastian. From the Regional Trial Court.” The man reached for the envelope at once.

“All right, I’ll give it to you.” Avah signed the paper the man was carrying and then went inside again.

“What? Is it okay?” Alexa asked the ordered man.

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Oh, here. Thank you?” He gave it a thousand pesos and then went away.

When Avah entered the house, she first stared at the paper. He picked up the cellphone and called the wife. davien’s voice is so sweet. He said he had just finished the operation and he and their son were his inspiration.

“Someone sent your papers.”

“Maybe that’s the report I’m waiting for. But I was expecting that to arrive here, not at home.” They even exchanged a few tender words until their conversation was over.

Regional Trial Court? Why would it send Davien? Isn’t that a court? Those were Avah’s questions to herself. To satisfy her curiosity, she opened the envelope.

Avah burst into tears when she saw this annulment paper. A petition to annul their marriage. He read the papers in full. It contained all the information about their spouse. When they got married, their wedding certificate was attached to the annulment paper. And what was Davien”s reason for filing annulment papers.

COMES NOW petitioner, by the undersigned counsel and unto this Honorable Court, most respectfully alleges:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5. In retrospect petitioner and respondent were just marrying each other for the sake of their unborn baby. Petitioner, Mr. Davien B. Sebastian demand for full custody of the child after the annulment because respondent, Mrs. Avah D. Rodeo-Sebastian wasn’t financially stable to support the child.

6. Petitioner, Mr. Davien B. Sebastian only married respondent, Mrs. Avah D. Rodeo-Sebastian for the legality of the unborn child’s identity. In addition to this, petitioner wanted to protect the child from suffering as an illegitimate child, Also known as born out of lawful matrimony or wedlock.

Avah could no longer read the papers. Because he will only break his heart even more if he continues to read it.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Avah cried loudly. Is it all just a lie? When I am born will we also separate? That a whole and happy family is just an imagination? He will also take our son … if that was his plan from the beginning, why did he make me feel that he loved me? Why does all this have to take so long?

Her tears continued to flow. There seems to be no end. His shoulder was also shaking loudly.

Avah would agree if Davien had already told her about their legal separation. But why did he take so long? Why does he have to be hurt so much?

It seemed out of place when Avah came out of the house. He was holding the annulment paper of his wife. He couldn’t wait for Davien to arrive. She couldn’t wait to hear her husband’s reason. The reason why he had to keep secret about their divorce.

Avah carried only her wallet and the envelope to the hospital. She was wearing mejo still wet because of sweat and her tears. Everyone in the jeep was staring at him because he was crying. There was an old man who sat next to him and asked if it was okay.

Despite being hurt, Avah was still able to smile at the old man and say he was fine.

Avah got out of the jeep. To get to the hospital he had to cross the highway and walk a little more. She is still crying. She is not on her own because of the pain she is feeling. Avah crossed the highway, right there in the pedestrian lane.

It happened so fast that Avah just heard a very loud horn and the sound of a tire that suddenly braked. And the next ones he can no longer remember. All he knows is that people are confusing him and he can’t really see anything well. Those around him were shouting but he could no longer hear them.

Davien is in the main lobby of the hospital. His phone was in his ear. He calls his wife but no one answers. He has been calling it that before. The document that he’s been waiting for arrived at hospital. So he wonders what document came to their house.

He was pacing back and forth when the ambulance arrived in front of the lobby. She put her cellphone in the pocket of the laboratory gown. He has a patient again. He could no longer talk to his wife for long.

The emergency team get the hospital bed ready. They rolled it to greet the oncoming patient. They put the woman on the hospital bed from the stretcher that was inside the ambulance. Davien ran towards the emergency door and almost dropped his eyes in shock when he saw that the admitted patient was the wife. There are flowing blood in her thighs.

“Avah? Avah !! What happened ?! Why is she like … like this ?! Avah! Avah wake up! Wake up, baby. Please!” Davien forgot he was a doctor. He almost lost everything he knew about treatment when he saw Avah in such a situation. This time he wasn’t the Doctor Sebastian everybody admires, he is merely a husband to Avah who is now bloody admitted to the hospital.

“Move aside, Dr. Sebastian!” Another doctor attended Avah because their best doctor seemed to have lost his temper. An elderly woman replaced Davien. “Get the operating room ready!” Then the male nurses helped push the hospital bed into the operating room.

Consciously, Davien ran quickly, following the path of those who had accompanied Avah.

“Let me in! Let me in! She is my wife. Let me in !!” Davien disappears in front of the closed operating room. Three male nurses prevent Davien from entering. The doctor who operated on Avah told him not to let Davien in. If Davien had been there the operation would definitely not have gone well.

“Doc, calm down! Dr. Martinez is doing everything to save ma’am!” Reminder of one to the nurse. They knew Davien’s wife was inside the operating room.

“Get off me! Get your fucking hands off me!” Davien lost his control to the situation. He’s always been professional. But he could not be a professional at that time. “Let me pass please. My wife and my child are at risk … I want to save them. Please get off me. I will save my family.” Davien cried his whole heart out. He almost begged them. But he can’t really go inside, even if he says he has access because he’s a doctor.

Due to the speed of news about Ms.’s son. Jacintha and wife of Dr. Sebastian who was rushed to the hospital, Divina quickly found out. This is what is being talked about throughout the hospital. She heard that Avah was in the operating room so she ran it.

Divina saw her son. Si Davien. Missing, screaming and most calming of today are five male nurses.

“Davien … Davien calm down!” Divina cried as she hugged the child.

“Ma! My wife … my child. They are inside, ma! I want to save them. I want to save them. They are at risk … I want to fucking save my family, ma!” Davien burst out. She cried so hard. It was the first time his mother had seen him like that.

Divina started crying too. He felt sorry for Davien and was very worried about his mother.

“Davien, they’ll be alright. Hush now. They’ll be alright.” Divina whispered on his ear as he bit his lower lip to stop the loud sobs. Even if he wanted to cry out loud, he couldn’t. Divina is strengthening for the child.

“D-Doc, this is what ma’am was using when she crashed. The police are already holding the driver who crashed.” A nurse reported.
