Chapter 39
Noah walk towards Avah and Davien. He’s been handsome ever since but it seems like it’s only now that Melanie will appreciate it. How come only Hirro was handsome in his eyes before so he couldn’t see what Noah had.
“Avah, it’s so great to see you back!” Noah gave Avah a sisterly hug and then he acknowledged Davien calling him, “bro!”
“Sup. What took you so long?” Davien asked. He doesn’t let go of Avah’s waist.
“I had a flat wheel. I fixed it first.” Noah’s reason. Then Noah look at Melanie. “Who is she?”
It was only then that Melanie realized. She didn’t notice that she’s checking him out.
Checking him out? No ah! You’re really stupid Melanie. Checking out, checking out. Can’t you just be starstruck? Melanie undergoes a conversation with her inner-self. But in all fairness, Davien’s race is really handsome and beautiful. She admitted later on.
“You already met her before, my friend, Melanie. She live on the condominium where you stayed.” Introduce Avah.
“Really? Shame on me for not remembering such beauty. Hi, Noah.” Melanie didn’t know why she was suddenly embarrassed. Is it because Noah indirectly said he was beautiful or because he smiled at him?
“I know your name, we already met. There’s no need for formality.” Melanie refused Noah’s hand.
Because that’s also where he and Avah came from, the attraction between the two didn’t get through Davien’s eyes. Adn then a plan formed on his mind.
After locking all the possible entrances and exits of their house, everyone boarded his car.
Avah, of course ride with Davien. While Nicholas was driving the Toyota Corolla ALT15 in which Jacintha, Daniela and Divina were riding.
“Melanie to Noah you ride.” Davien said.
“H-ha? Can you just go with me?” Melanie replied.
“Yes, we’re loose.” Adapted by Avah.
“Don’t worry, miss. I don’t bite. I only bite woman of my picking, you are not my type.” Noah’s proud promise.
“Hah!” Melanie was just blown away by Davien’s brother’s arrogance. Noah smiled at Mel like he’s trying to tease her while Melanie shot Noah a deadly stare. “Fine! Let’s do this!” Melanie pulled out her mini luggage and got into Noah”s car.
Avah and Davien were caught because they were the ones who closed their gate.
“I hope you just put Mel here,” Mejo said sadly in her husband’s voice.
“Trust me, babe. Melanie and Noah will thank me later. Besides, I want you to be single. It’s like killing two birds in one stone.” Davien winked at Avah then he stole one quick kiss from her lips before they follow the two cars ahead of them.
50: Starting All Over Again
The whole family stayed at Siargao for one whole week. Siargao is one of the pride islands of the Philippines because of its beauty and its tear -shaped island. At that time they had no other thought but to relax and feel the very fresh air and listen to the strong pounding of the waves.
There’s no work to be worried about, there’s no Alexa who always ruins everything because she doesn’t have the ability yet. Because he is a shopaholic, he has not saved any money. No one accepts him anymore because of his bad reputation. Until she ended up selling her condo unit, her car, her jewelries and until she sank into debt. He also couldn’t contact his friend Charlotte because she seemed to be hiding and avoiding him.
Everything he thought was his friend suddenly disappeared like an exploding bubble. It”s strange that destiny actually reciprocates.
They had a great time vacationing in Siargao. Avah has tried almost every water sports game with Davien. They went kayaking, skiing, kitesurfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, windsurfing and many more that they are yet to discover.
Even Divina and Nicholas seemed to go back to being teenagers in sweetness when they always talked and looked at each other. Daniela and Jacintha on the other hand are very fond of roaming around taking pictures and buying remembrances like shirt, key chain and other stuffs. Noah and Melanie, on the other hand, are always fighting like dogs and cats. A fight with a mixture of flirting. Noah always initiates the argument and every time Melanie gets angry she will stare at him with a goofy smile on her lips. Without even noticing, their attraction to each other is gradually growing.
About Avah and Davien, they are inseparable. They were together in everything, in eating, walking around, even in the chair they could not be separated.
There is also no media following them. They then feel as if they are in paradise without knowing the word problem.
In the evening the couple does not participate in family activities. They would rather lock themselves in their cabin and just made love whole night until dawn. Even though they”ve been doing intercourse every night for three weeks they really can”t avoid it. They fill two years of bereavement.
It was only the eighth night that they left the room. They all are circling around a bonfire. No one knew that Noah could play the guitar. Every time Melanie looks at him, she can’t help but be stunned by it. He look so damn hot and handsome while playing guitar. Everyone is just jamming. A perfect, relaxing and calm ambiance for all. A quite night. All they could hear was the pounding of the waves, the wind pounding their skins and the sound of the guitar Noah had just rented.
“It’s so relaxing …” Avah mumbled as she was inside her husband’s arms and watching Noah play the guitar.
“Yeah … there’s no heavenly more than this.” Davien said and kissed Avah’s forehead.
“Davien, when are you going to give us grandchild?” Nicholas asked. They’re still in the process of fixing their father-son relationship but because Davien is getting used to his father’s presence, he has also learned to forgive. Avah was one of the reasons how Davien forgave the father. He will be forever grateful for his wife.
“That’s why, hija. Even with my grandson I want to make up for it.” Jacintha groaned.
“I’m the godmother! I volunteered.” Melanie squealed, so that she could turn her focus not only to Noah.
“We’re working on it, guys. You just have to wait maybe a little longer. I will try my hardest to get my wife pregnant.” Davien cheated on Avah so he received a pinch on the side. “Ouch!” He complained to his wife.
“Maybe I volunteered to be the godfather too. I can bear to be Melanie’s partner in his baptismal day.” Noah remarked and he finished the song.
Melanie look at him. With Noah’s hard scratching and teasing, he fell even more into it. Maybe his decision not to give his heart to Hirro was right because Noah was meant to take care of it.
After an hour of talking, they went to his cabin. Davien let Avah get in first because he stayed outside to answer the call from work. After the call, he gets in. After closing the door, Davien took off his clothes because their clothes were full of sand.
Avah has a little gift for her husband. He took it out of his bag. It is wrapped in small cardboard. Davien hadn’t even worn a T-shirt when Avah wrapped her hand around her husband’s handsome body.
A sweet smile escaped his lips. For him, it was as if he was still floating in the air with great joy. There will always be a rainbow after the rain.
“Avah, I’m dirty and sweaty.” Davien said that until now he has turned his back on his wife.
“I don’t care. I don’t love you because you were clean. I love you because you are Davien.” Avah whispered.
Davien removed his wife’s hand from his naked body and faced it. His beam is way too big for his face. His eyes are glowing with too much love.
“And I love you because you are Avah.” Davien bowed and hugged his wife tightly. ”
They remained huddled for several minutes. No one speaks. They can only hear their breath. Then Avah said, “I have a gift for you.”
Davien stepped away slightly to look at Avah with her gentle face.
“What is it?” Avah handed over the small box and Davien accepted it. He stare at it first. “What’s on it?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“See for yourself.” Big smile Avah said.
“I was wondering why I suddenly feel nervous.” He admitted after a soft chuckle. “Did you buy it? You shouldn’t have bothered buying me gifts, Avah. You are enough.” Davien hugged his wife and gave her a kiss that was overflowing and full of love.
