Chapter 18
Noah was shocked at first. She was surprised when the newcomer called the woman he was dating ‘wife’. But instead of folding his tail, Noah stand up straight and bark back.
“I’m sorry but as far as I know, I do nothing wrong to stay away from her.” Noah said in his thick English accent. He brought to the Philippines the way he spoke.
“You better keep your hands to yourself!” Davien made his words clear and dangerous. His jaw are clenching and his hand was formed as a fist.
In a fit of rage, he pulled Avah to his car.
“Davien, take it easy oh.” Avah pleads.
Noah couldn’t bear to see how Davien treat the woman he like the moment he set eyes on her. Noah chased the two and he grabbed Avah’s free hand. If Avah was just a paper she would probably have been torn due to the force of the two men pulling her.
“N-Noah …” His name slipped her mouth elegantly despite the situation. It sounded like music to Noah’s ears but it sounded like an annoying noise to Davien.
“That is not the proper way of treating a woman!” Noah’s preaching to the man today is his warmth.
“Take your bloody hands off her !!” Davien growled. Because of their scene on the road, they inevitably get attention from passing vehicles.
“N-Noah … all right. Let me go, it’s okay.” Avah tried to freed herself from Noah’s grip but he wouldn’t budge.
Davien couldn’t hold his anger any longer. He let go of Avah and quickly punched Noah in the face. After his fist landed on Noah’s face full force, the man’s lip exploded and he fell on the ground.
“Stay the fuck away !!” Davien growled and then he continued dragging Avah to his car.
“P-I’m sorry, Noah! I’m really sorry.” Avah says as she looks back at him with sympathy.
This time Noah did not chase the two. The bang in his face hurts and it’s making him dizzy.
He didn’t expect it. He doesn’t think that the highlight of his first day in the Philippines is to be attracted to a woman and get into a fight in the end. Noah laughed bitterly and he swiped away the red fluid in his lips. He spit out his saliva mix with his blood.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
While driving, Davien couldn”t help but hold the steering wheel too tightly. His veins are showing because of the tightness of his grip on the steering wheel. He was also running fast which Avah feared.
She thought she lost her voice but maybe because of fear, Avah was able to say, “Davien we’re too fast. It’s dangerous for you to drive,”
It wasn’t words that came out of Davien’s mouth but the loud scream that made Avah almost jump in panic. Her heart is throbbing at incredible pace. Her rib cage hurts because of the strange strength of her heartbeat.
Avah is scared of Davien’s actions. There is no reason for it to be angry. Avah isn’t cheating so she wonders why her husband is so angry.
When they reached their house Davien burst open the gate. He hop back into the car and slam the door damn hard. He entered his Maybach and then suddenly, he punched the steering wheel making a loud and roaring horn noise.
“Davien what are you upset about ?!” Avah asked angrily. It was a return to the Davien he had previously known. Davien who gets angry very quickly as if he has bipolar disorder.
“I have so much reason to get angry, Avah! So many fucking reasons !!” Davien shouted as he made an eye contact with his wife.
“Why? What’s the reason you’re acting like that ?!”
“You wanna know ?! You really wanna know the bloody reason ?!” Its voice is too loud. They seem to be on both sides of the world when it comes to talking. Fortunately, they were still in the car. Otherwise, even their neighboring house will wake up to the strength of Davien’s shout. “Okay, I’ll tell you fucking why! First you left the house, no goodbye!”
“I left-” but Avah wasn’t given the chance to defend herself because Davien shouted again.
“Second you stayed out for so long! What time is it, Avah! You are no longer maiden! You are no longer a maiden for the night! You are fucking married to me, you understand ?! And above all! You are letting that bloody asshole kiss you! What did you forget you’re married? That you’re going to be a mother ?! ” Davien’s eyes widened every time a word came out of his mouth.
“Is that ?! Is that what makes you angry ?! That’s a very shallow reason, Davien! You don’t have to be angry like this! You also don’t have to hurt the man because he just wants to help me! Good robbery!”
No matter how Avah tried to clear things up, jealousy had swallowed Davien. Her feelings could not be changed. She was furious because she repeatedly saw the man’s lip clinging to Avah’s hand. In the hands of his wife!
“And now you’re taking that man’s side ?! Are you still defending him ?! Seriously, Avah ?!”
“Your mind is too closed, Davien. Let’s not talk first.” Avah calmed down because she knew the screaming wouldn’t stop if she didn’t start. He opened the car and closed it with force.
“Where the fuck are you going ?!” Davien asked but the car’s door shuts in his face.
Davien followed Avah. But he noticed that the gate is still wife open. He atop momentarily. He weighs what to do first. Should he close then gate first or follow his wife? Davien choose the later.
She continued following her husband into the guest room of the house. As soon as she entered the guest room, Avah locked the door.
She was stressed with her husband. Her stress might affect the baby and that’s the last thing she wanted. He just wants a quiet place.
Davien saw the wife enter another room. Davien tried to open the guest room but the door was locked.
“Avah, open the door!” he shouted through the wooden door.
“Let’s talk when you’re calm!” Avah replies.
“Open the damn door, Avah! You’re not going to sleep anywhere but our room!”
Davien waited for an answer but Avah didn’t answer yet.
“Fine! You wouldn’t open the door? I will!” Davien left. He went to the master’s bedroom and took the key to the guest room.
Avah wonders why the sudden silence until the bedroom door suddenly opens. It was Davien. He looks calmer now.
He approached the wife who was now sitting on the couch. Avah was bewildered when Davien carry her bridal style and says, “I told you. You are not going to sleep anywhere but in our bloody room.” His voice are calmer now but she can sense the irritation in it.
The next morning, Davien woke up earlier than Avah. Because it was too early, he decided to cook for his wife first.
Although he is busy being a doctor and most of the time just orders and delivers food, Davien still knows how to cook.
He seemed to wake up when he woke up because he realized how stupid he was doing last night to shout at Avah. Because he wanted to make it up to her, he will be the one to serve this morning.
When Avah opened her eyes, her stomach ached immediately. He is not the only one who consumes the foods he consumes. She has already divided her three -month -old child inside her body. Avah stands up and noticed that Davien is no longer on the bed. He thought it might be too early to go to the hospital. They never spoke last night. When Davien laid her on the bed, the man went straight to the shower and cleaned the body because it was so viscous to himself.
Avah went to the bathroom. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. She came down from the second floor to cook. He did not expect to arrive at the table full of food and Davien was the maker of those foods.
Davien was wearing an apron. Avah have to hold her giggle because of Davien’s cuteness. It’s not just a hospital gown that matters to the wife but also an apron! As a matter of fact, if Davien is a nice man, even if he rags his clothes, he will still look beautiful and graceful.
Davien turned his back, he was brewing coffee for her and honey for Avah. He did not know that his wife was watching him. Avah did not speak. He let Davien know for himself that he was there.
When he finishes the drinks and he turn around. Their eyes locked and that is when Avah asked him, “what are you doing?”
