That Doctor Is Mine

“S-okay.” With Avah’s consent, they both used the tickets to enter the building.

“What’s your name sir, ma’am?” Asked the old woman receiving tickets at the entrance of the building.

“Noah Sebastian, please.”

“You ma’am?”

“Avah please. Avah R. Sebastian.”

The old woman wrote Mr. and Mrs. Sebastian in their name tags and says, “welcome to the Home of Love Mr. and Mrs. Sebastian,” he handed the name tag of the two assuming they were married. How come they have the same last name.

In the 3rd batch, Avah was with them and it was just beginning.

“Okay, parents. Good afternoon to all of you. To all the wives, please be on the left and the husbands on the right. We will practice first our simple arrangement of seats for the next activity is fine the trend. ”

They both know that they are not married but they just follow the speaker’s orders. The activities that followed were both awkward for Avah and Noah. There was a moment when the speaker ordered the husbands to place the right hand on the wives “baby bump and talk to the baby. It was said its one way of showing love for the baby. Davien would have done non. But he did not do that because at that time, he was in a room in front of a dying patient and was saving his life.

“The heartbeat of the patient is slowing down! Prepare the defibrillator !!” Davien cried out when the patient’s heartbeat suddenly dropped. “Set the defibrillator in 160 Joules. Charge!” Davien points the defibrillator at the patient’s chest and tries to save it. “Raise the charge into 200 Joules! Charge!” after the second attempt the patient’s heartbeat returned to normal.

“Doc, the patient’s heartbeat is strong again.” Said a nurse while looking at the heart monitor.

“Back to the operation.” command of Davien.

The session lasted two hours and we finished fixing Noah’s car so the two of us went to a famous restaurant first. Before eating, Avah went to the bathroom to dehydrate her body. He took off his shoulder bag and placed it on the stand inside the cubicle. Wondering why the husband didn’t come, he lost the bag in his mind. She flushed the toilet then left.

Jacintha was on the same restaurant with her manager. They talk about the good run of his career in show business. Her manager excuses herself to go to the toilet. And there he entered the cubicle where Avah entered. When Jacintha’s manager returned to the table, she was already carrying Avah’s bag.

“What’s that? Whose bag is that?” The actress asked.

“I don’t know. Just saw it in the rest room,”

“Look for an I. D. Maybe the owner is still here.”

Jacintha’s manager swallowed the inside of the bag until she could find Avah’s mother’s necklace. To satisfy her curiosity about what she is touching, the woman released the necklace. She examined the jewelry and says, “your name was written on it.”

Jacintha raised her head and frowned. “What do you mean?” Anito.

“Your name, isn’t this your name? You look like the owner of this bag idol.”

The actress’ eyes widened when she saw the proprietary necklace she gave to her son a long time ago.

“My daughter … my daughter is here!” Jacintha untied the necklace and stared at it intently. “This is mine! I gave it to my daughter Manager Vicky!” Jacintha ejaculated tearfully.

When Avah sat in the chair opposite Noah, she only remembered the contribution. He rubbed himself as his eyes widened.

“What? What is wrong?” Noah asked Avah.

“My bag! I forgot the cr! Later, I’ll just come back!” Avah quickly ran back to the car and when she got there her bag was gone. The mother’s necklace, some of her IDs, her wallet and the cellphone given to her by her husband were still there.

“Miss, did you see a bag here? It’s small, black brother. Shoulder bag?” He asked the first woman he saw in the bathroom.

“I’m sorry, no.”

“All right, thank you.” Then Avah approached another woman and asked the same thing. The answer was the same. They saw nothing or noticed nothing.

“I don’t think so, Cindy.” Manager Vicky said to the pet. Cindy is her screen name as an actress. “It’s been a long time, maybe it’s just a replica. Or stolen and stuffs. You need to be aware that you’re rich, what if it’s a trap? They knew you were here and left it purposely to make money for you?”

“I can’t be wrong, Vicky. Only you and my family know about my son. How can that be possible that other people will know about my necklace?” Jacintha snapped at her manager as she grab the bag and search for an identification card. She saw one, a government issued ID and her heartbeat got even stronger when she read the woman’s name on the ID. Avah R. Sebastian.

Jacintha started tearing up. Avah. That is the name he gave to his son when he left it to his sister Segunda. It’s good that he saw in I. D. the civil status of the child’s married, otherwise he would wonder why Sebastian has this surname even though he remembers it starts with the letter “R”. He scratched the contents of the wallet again and confirmed the hunch when he saw a picture of Avah with her nun friend Segunda, they were in front of the piano and looked like they were singing at mass. Jacitha stands up.

“Where are you going, Cindy?”

“She is my daughter, Vicky. I will finally meet her after 26 years!” Then Jacitha turned around and she rushed to the bathroom. If she lost her wallet, the first thing she will do is look for it in the place where she lost it and she hopes that the instinct of the owner of the bag is the same.

Avah was almost tired of finding her bag. Each cubicle is one by one. Until a lady entered the bathroom. Avah looked at the woman’s hand, she saw the woman holding her mother’s bag and necklace.

“M-ma’am, whose bag is that?” Avah asked the stunned but tearful woman.

“A-are you … a-are you Avah?” Jacintha’s voice are chopped. He had a strong feeling that he was the child he had been looking for for a long time.

“Yeah. I’m the owner of that bag.” They just stared at each other. Avah didn’t know why the woman was crying so she asked. “Are you all right?”

“By … by any chance, do you know Segunda? A nun? This one in this photo?” Jacintha’s hand was shaking.

“Yes, she raised me. Do you know Mother Segunda?”

“Yes … I know her. I left you to her …” Jacitha cried. “I’m your mother, Avah. I’m the owner of this necklace. I’m Jacintha. This necklace was from your father … the only one in the world.”

Avah couldn’t speak to everyone she heard. Is she the mother? Avah could not think straight because she was so excited, nervous and dizzy. Before he could speak he was already in his mother’s arms. Avah’s tears were already dripping. All the women in the bathroom were wondering what the two of them were doing.

If she is her mother that she has been missing for a long time, this is probably one of the happiest days of Avah’s life. Jacintha’s body was very hot. The warmth of a mother’s embrace that Avah had long hoped for.

“Cindy!” Call his manager. He saw the two hugging in the bathroom. “Is she really your daughter?” Asked another old woman.

“She is. She really is my daughter, Vicky.” Jacintha cried.

“But you need to be very careful, Cindy. Why don’t you try a parental test? The public will celebrate you when they find out about your child. You try to hide it for so long. What’s your plan?”

“We don’t need a DNA test, Vicky. She is my daughter and I will tell the whole world about her.”

Thirty minutes passed and they were still in the bathroom and their tears did not stop. Noah waited at their seat. She wonders why Avah lasts so long. Jacintha and Vicky joined in Avah and Noah’s table.

“Did you find it?” Noah’s birth to Avah. When he saw the two female companions, Noah asked, “who are they?”

“I’m her mother. Are you Avah’s husband?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“No, he’s my husband’s brother.” Avah’s quick reply to the mother.
