Our Love Is Not Over
The Part 37

That afternoon, Edgar, Tamara and the twins met at a Japanese restaurant. The twins continued to look at Tamara's face which was so beautiful.

"Kia's Papi's girlfriend is very pretty. How can we get Mami and Papi together?" whispered Mia.

"Hey you! Our mother is also beautiful," Kia whispered.

"Yes know, but this is more than Mami" Mia said again.

"Twins, what are you talking about?" asked Edgar who made the two instantly move away from each other.

"No Pi" replied Kia.

"Hi," said Tamara trying to get along.

The twins greeted Tamara with a smile. Tamara introduces herself as their future papi wife and declares that she will be her second stepmom.

"When I'm afraid," whispered Mia again.

"Why again?" ask Kia.

"Most stepmom are evil."

"We don't live with papi so just calm down. Even if this aunt is bad, we can complain to mami."

"Oh, that's right."

Both of them enjoyed the food on the table. There is not much interaction between the twins and Tamara, because the twins themselves always answer briefly.

When the meal was over, Edgar drove the twins home while Tamara was still waiting at the restaurant. Then he went back to the restaurant.

"Gar, it looks like your kids don't like me that much."

"That's how you feel" replied Edgar.

"But sometimes this feeling is always right, Gar. Our marriage is one month away."

Edgar became speechless considering the time left was only a short while. He wanted to say his wish in front of Tamara now, but it turned out that Tamara did not want to listen to anything.

"I want to talk about something important Tam. I hope you're ready to hear it."

"Not now, I'm busy. I have to go to the clinic for treatment."

Tamara immediately left from Edgar's presence making Edgar can only sigh.

"I wanted to tell you to cancel this wedding."

Along the way, Tamara shed her tears. He had no idea why he knew what Edgar was going to talk about. He is not ready and will never be ready.

Tamara sped up her car, until she saw a woman who looked a lot like Edgar's ex-wife whom she had seen in the hospital at the time. He stopped his car and got down from there approaching Raisa who was just about to wear her helmet.

"Mba Ravisa?" call Tamara.

At first Raisa was not sure if the one in front of her was Tamara. What is he who is just an ordinary person, who suddenly recognized by Tamara.

"I'm Tamara's future wife Edgar, ex-husband of Mba Raisa."

Raisa was sure.

"Yes? What business is it?" raisa asked while putting her helmet back on her bike.

"Can we talk inside to make it more comfortable?" tamara Pinta.

Raisa did not agree to Tamara's invitation because if caught by Rani and Kendra, of course she will be questioned a lot of questions.

"We're talking somewhere else" Raisa replied.

"Well, just pick the place, I'll follow Mba from behind."

"Just go ahead, what do you want to talk about? I honestly don't understand why you came to me. We don't know each other."

"It's true, we don't know each other. But Edgar knew Mba. I just met the Mba kids."

"Yes, I know, because Edgar asked permission from me."

Tamara smiled wryly at it. It felt like his heart was so sore knowing Edgar could communicate with his ex-wife often even if it was just their children's business.

"Honestly, Mba, what are you planning? Why did Mba suddenly appear when Edgar and I were planning a wedding. Why didn't Mba show up before I met Edgar or after I married Edgar."

Raisa now realizes which way Tamara talks. This is what he is really afraid of facing.

"To be honest, I don't want to bring them together yet. But what can I do if the universe wants it? Want me to try my hardest, if they are destined to meet we will not be able to prevent it. I know what you're thinking right now. But you're wrong to think I'm planning to derail your and Edgar's marriage. You need not worry and fear my presence. I'm a nobody, I'm just Edgar's past. You're the one who's gonna be his future."

For some reason despite hearing Raisa's direct answer, Tamara's heart still hesitated. He doubted Edgar's own feelings.

"What are you really afraid of? You and I are very different. You're rich while I'm not. You're beautiful and young while I'm the opposite. You are famous and I am just a regular person. Not very suitable for comparison."

"But you're Edgar's ex-wife, Mba. You have so many memories together."

"Oh, so what you're afraid of is not my presence that you think will destroy your plans but you're afraid that my presence will make Edgar worry about his feelings. You're afraid that Edgar doesn't love you and still loves me, are you?"

Tamara instantly fell silent as if what Raisa said was indeed true.

"You're silent, which means I'm right."

The two seemed to be silent for so long until Raisa started the conversation again.

"My story and Edgar's been done for years. Even if there are a lot of memories for Edgar, it's still the past. There's nothing you need to fear. Edgar was a fool to waste you more everything than me. I'm leaving, because the kids must be waiting for me at home."

Raisa really left there. Tamara remained silent. It felt that even though Raisa had convinced herself not to be afraid, her heart was still agitated.

"Oh Tamara, you have to believe that Edgar loves you very much. Otherwise, how could he possibly invite you to get married. Yeah, so is Tamara."

Edgar was sitting in a chair near the pool. The man continued to contemplate his choices. He chose Raisa. But he was still confused how to explain to Tamara. She does not want Tamara to blame Raisa for her own decision. Edgar doesn't want to, Raisa is blamed for what she didn't do.

"You why Gar? It seems like a lot you are thinking about. Tell me about it to Oma."

"Oma, it seems like I just realized my wrong decision in the past."

"You just realized that now? Wh why? Is it because you finally know who you really loved all this time?"

Edgar was instantly speechless after listening to the question from Oma Deli that was so precise.

"Oma, why is Oma talking like that?"

"Don't dodge Gar anymore. Oma knows you still like Raisa. She loves Raisa very much. Oma does not want to make you aware of who you love. But Oma wants you to be self-aware and make the choice yourself. So how now? You've gone too far, Gar."

Edgar lamented his always wrong decision.

"Oma, but Raisa has a child with me. Not one but twins."

Oma Deli was so shocked to hear that. Then there was another one who followed in surprise behind the window curtain.

"What's? Edgar has a child with Raisa?!"
