33: When An Angel Sings
"Wow ..." Melanie whispered as she watched the friend walk next to Davien.
Just after another minute, the couple reached their table. Davien's three friends couldn't help but admire the beautiful shape of Avah's body even though she was pregnant. They didn't know that Avah's body was so beautiful because you always hid it in the old clothes.
"Hey, what's up bro!" Tim greeted cheerfully.
"What's up. You've been there before?" Davien asked.
"Just a few minutes earlier than you two. Looking good, Avah." Hirro answers that Melanie liked the said comment about Avah's beauty tonight. Avah muttered her thankfulness for the praises.
"Gael folded her tail. She's been restless before, she hasn't moved on with Olivia yet." Tim said that he likes to be pissed. He is referring to the birthday girl who was Gael's former relationship.
"Fold your ass," Gael whispered to the friend. Gael's angry tone garnered laughter from the three.
"Shall we greet Olivia, Gael?" Davien's attraction.
"Yeah, may be we shall." Gael answered boldly. He will show his friends that he is over it.
"Haha, calm down Gael. You're too stiff. Just relax." Hirro's fraud. Gael is playing cool, it's very obvious that Olivia still affected her.
The six didn't leave the chair, they just kept fooling Gael. Melanie and Avah sat side by side in the chair, also next to the two women were companions Hirro and Davien. Melanie saw Alexa earlier when they arrived and also didn't get into Melanie's eyes and envy Alexa's eyes while watching Avah walk next to Davien.
They had their dinner at the party. The men were holding wine glasses with only branded champagne.
Davien noticed Avah's sudden silence. So he put his mouth to his wife's ear to whisper.
"Are you okay? You want to go home?" Davien asked worriedly.
"No, I just need to cr." Avah is already urinating and she doesn't know where I should go.
"Come, I'll go with you." Davien stood up so he got Melanie's attention.
"N-no! It's just Melanie."
"Which one? What is it?" Melanie asked when she heard the name.
"Can you go with Avah to rest room?" Davien asked Melanie.
"Yeah! Sure!" Melanie will also not allow Avah to walk alone especially since the demonic Alexa is there. He just tried to approach his friend again, only his eyes were spotless.
The women left the table and they walked to the rest room. When Alexa saw the two go to the rest room, she stood up and approached Davien's table. Alexa isn"t really scared, hers is hers. Nothing can change his decision to withdraw Davien.
One that he was really desperate for.
"Davien," Alexa called his name. The four looked up and irritation immediately appeared on their faces. "I'm so sorry about your wife. She's the one who started it. They're two of her friends without a class."
Before Hirro could speak, Davien was already there.
"You really think I will believe in you, Alexa? Leave us alone. Don't try to destroy us with my husband because I won't allow that."
"Davien ... please!" Alexa pleads.
As the two were on their way back to their seats, Avah stopped when she saw Alexa holding Davien's hand.
"That witch doesn't really choose a place!" Melanie whispered when she saw the same scene.
"Melanie, can we come here first? We'll come back later. She's gone." There was a small smile on Avah's lips but deep inside, she's hurting.
"Oh my, no no. Don't let her have you in her palm. Be strong, Avah. Remember you didn't continue to be a nun. And then even nuns fight when they are hurt. Show that you can be honest with her. Show her that she cannot bully you. " Melanie cheered her up.
They went back to their seats and they found Alexa there begging Davien. Melanie cough purposely and says, "excuse me miss? But I think you had the wrong table and person. You don't belong here." Melanie smiled and promised to make Alexa even smarter.
Alexa glared at Melanie and Avah. While Gael and Tim hold back a laugh. Alexa was about to fight back when Olivia butt in.
"Davien? Oh my god! It's you!" Olivia said. He greeted the guests and it was a year ago that he was close to Gael's table. The three men stood up and wished him a happy birthday. they still needed Gael.
Alexa's smile quickly cleared. He approached Olivia and hugged her arm. They weren't that close but Olivia just let them go. It's not because he was raised rude.
"Happy birthday, Olivia." Davien greeted then he held Avah's hand. "She's my wife, Avah."
"H-hi. Happy birthday to you." Avah smiled at Olivia.
"Oh, is she? You look so beautiful!" Olivia pulled her arm away from Alexa's waist and hugged Avah. "It's so nice to meet you, Avah. I'm so sorry Davien, if I didn't attend your wedding." Then Olivia turned back to the frowning Alexa. When she turned around Alexa's fake smile returned to her face. "You Alexa? When will you and Wilson get married?"
"H-huh? That's not in our plan yet." Alexa's excuse. The truth is that he only used the poor man. "But you know what Olivia, I heard Avah was once a nun. But Davien got her pregnant so she didn't become a nun anymore." Alexa's slander had no effect because Olivia was even more amazed. Avah quickly bowed her head in embarrassment. If they hadn't been at the formal party Davien would probably have hurt Alexa.
"Really? Your love story is very interesting!" Avah's comment was thrilling.
"Yeah! Actually Avah and I were together before the convent. And if you don't ask, Avah can play piano and she's also good at singing, I used to be a parish choir with her. She can sing a song for you."
Avah's eyes widened at what Melanie said. He is not used to singing alone. And he only knows church songs.
"Really? Can you sing a song for me?" Olivia asked with glittering eyes.
"I only sing church songs, eh,"
"It's going to be okay. Come let's go." Olivia pulled Avah's hand away. Davien let him go. Even Davien did not know that his wife could play the piano and sing. She really is full of surprises ...
Since someone is playing the piano live for the formality of the party, they will no longer have a problem setting up the instrument.
"Ladies and gents, can I have your attention please? Thank you. Let us all lend our ears to Mrs. Sebastian as she bless us all tonight through her performance. Thank you."
Alexa smirked. She have a feeling that her performance will flop. He will be the worst person there when that happens.
Avah sat in the piano bench. She glanced at Melanie and Davien and she received an encouragement smile from them. He took a deep breath before typing the piano keys. He played his favorite song, Awit Paghahangad. The solemness of the musical instrument and how Avah played it made the ambiance of the party holy and sacred.
Davien's eyes fixed on Avah. The woman fell in love with him even more, especially now that she was like an angel playing beautiful music. Everyone felt even more relieved when Avah started singing.
"O God You are always sought,
In me You are the only desire.
I am thirsty like a barren land
In the waters of ‘Thy care.
You will behold the holy place,
When I saw ‘Thy glory.
I will pray with my hand uplifted,
They will be happy to sing the praises to be offered. "
Avah put her whole heart and soul on the song. His eye was focused only on the piano keys. It was as if everyone was listening to the voice of an angel at that time. They all seem to caress the heart, cleanse the soul and are really very holy when Avah sings.
"I remember You
While lying down
Because Your help is always there.
In the shade of Your wings
I sing with joy.
My soul clings to ‘Yo,
Salvation I am sure You hold me.
The king will celebrate God's reason.
Yours promises joy that which is attainable.
I remember You
While lying down
Because Your help is always there.
In the shade of Your wings
I sing with joy. "
After Avah's song silence prevailed. Just a few seconds later everyone started to stand while cheering non -stop.
At that very moment, Davien admitted to himself that he already fall deep in love with Avah.
She's an angel. My personal angel. Davien thought that until now had mesmerized the wife.
