THE HEIR'S BEDMATE
Chapters. 34. Trust me, Ara!

In the morning, Laura woke up to hear a loud cell phone. He took Edward's hand off from his waist. And resuscitated his body at the head of the bed.

Grabbing the phone on her right nightstand, Laura's eyes opened perfectly when she saw who called her this morning.

Nervously he answered the call.

“Ha-hallo. Good morning, Ma.” Laura made her voice as normal as possible. Suddenly his heart felt guilty. He has betrayed the trust of his parents and the trust of Mary's mother.

“Hallo. Lala, how are you, son?” Ask Mary's mother from across the call.

“A-I'm good, Mom. Mom and others how are you?” Laura tried as hard as she could not cry.

“We're good, son. Thank goodness, Son. You're doing fine. Mother's feelings from yesterday were not good. I'm afraid something happened to you.” Mary's mother replied at length.

Degs…

Laura's heart felt sliced. Something has happened to him. The most precious thing in him was lost, because he gave it to a man who was not even a nobody to him.

‘I'm sorry, Bu.’ Inner Laura screamed. Without realizing it, her tears just soaked her cheeks.

“Don't worry, Mom. I'm doing fine. I am now in the capital. I'll be home this weekend, Miss.” Answer the girl. He did not want Mary's mother to worry about him.

“Iya, son. There's something I want to talk to you about later, after you arrive here.”

“Iya, Mom. Give my regards to Aunt Lily and the sisters, ma'am. I miss you guys.”

“Take care of yourself, son.” Mary's mother said at the end of the call.

Laura who could not hear the last words of Mary's mother could no longer stem her tears.

He sobbed, biting the blanket that covered his body, so that Edward would not hear his cries.

‘I'm sorry, Dad, Mom. I've hurt you’

Laura could no longer bear it, she wanted to cry out loud. He got out of bed, but only one foot was on the floor, one hand was heavy pulled his hand and made him fall back on the bed.

“If you want to cry, cry here.” Edward took the girl into his arms.

The 21-year-old girl's cry broke. He was in such great guilt.

“I'm sorry, Ara. I promise you. I will be responsible for your life. Made you my wife. But give me time. I'll marry you, once you graduate college.” The grown man repeatedly dipped Laura's crown.

Edward overhears a phone conversation between Laura and Maria's mother. He also woke up when he heard the phone ringing.

“Trust me, Ara.”

*****

Laura daydreams at the study desk in her class. Many things suddenly sprung up in his mind.

Now Laura is not only an orphan, but she is also not a ‘gadis’ anymore.

There was nothing he could be proud of himself. He only has pride in his parents who have such great affection for orphans.

Regretting…??

Of course not, Laura would have been more sorry if she could not save her parents' orphanage. Only, the girl went the wrong way to save her orphanage.

“La..” a pat landed on the shoulder of the girl. “Why are you, La? Is there a problem?” Ask Melani. They've been friends for a long time. So each other will know, if one of them has a problem.

“Nothing, Mel. It's just that I'm strengthening my heart to stop working at Yulia.” Laura's Lie. He is used to sharing any problems with Melani. But this time, he somehow did not want to share his problem with his best friend.

“Why did you stop working, La? Does he forbid you to work?” The one Melani was referring to was definitely Edward Hugo.

“No, Mel. He never forbade me from working. It's just, the recent college assignments piled up, making it difficult to manage time.”

Melani nodded her head. I agree with what Laura said. College assignments lately are a lot.

“Yes, do your best, La. After all, the card he gave you, the contents will be endless.” The girl chuckled.

“Oh yes, La. Where were you yesterday? Fortunately the lecturer yesterday also did not come to teach.” Ask the girl again.

“We go to the cafeteria, Mel. I'm hungry once.” Laura switched the conversation, she pulled Melani's hand and left the classroom.

When going to turn towards the canteen, their steps were intercepted by someone.

“I want us to talk, La.” Said Rendra, the one who had intercepted their path.

“Sorry sir, I don't think there's anything to talk about anymore. Everything is clear now.” Laura pulled Melani's hand back towards the cafeteria.

“What was the grown man yesterday that made you avoid me, La?”

Rendra's words made Laura's steps stop. He looked towards the man.

“Sorry, I avoided you long before I knew that person. So don't you concern link him in this.”

Laura passed by just like that, she even died Melani who was silent sculpting.

“La.. wait.” Melani is after her best friend.

They reached the cafeteria and ordered fried noodles and orange ice for lunch.

“La, what happened? You guys solved your problem?” Melani asked curiously.

“Easy Spit. I've told him everything.” That girl's heart. He sipped his orange ice, somehow his throat felt very dry.

“Then, why did he mention the other man earlier? Did he meet with— Melani deliberately paused her speech and turned her head towards Laura.

Laura nodded, she told him what happened two days ago in the parking lot of Yulia's restaurant.

“Gosh..” Melani stuffed a roll of fried noodles into her mouth.

“It seems that Mr. Rendra also did not know that the adult man, someone who is influential.” He spoke in between his mouth.

“I don't care, Mel. Now I just want to live quietly. Without being chased again by him.” Laura's gaze looked far away. He really needs to strengthen his heart.

*****

“Bos, the boy, the son of the Pratama family.” Johan tells Edward the results of the investigation from his man.

“Family Primary?” Edward scrunched his forehead.

“Which one?” Ask the man again.

“Ish. I guess boss tau.” Reply Johan.

“You know, I'm so busy. There is no time to take care of things that are not important.” Edward rested his back on the back of the sofa in his study.

“Pratama family has business in interior field, boss. In fact they had followed the tender for the construction of our hotel which is south of the capital, but they did not get it.” Johan's voice is long.

“Heh.” Edward grinned. “Their classmates' families, dare to insult Laura. Do they think they are the richest?”

“Maybe they're new to life being rich, boss.” Johan Timpal.

“It doesn't matter to me, Jo. Most importantly now, watch the movements of the man. Don't let him touch Ara again.”

“Sure, boss.”

‘Awas only if the man dares to touch mine again, will I make sure he runs out in my hands.’
