THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Go away

Mahira's hand shook while holding her phone. He couldn't believe what he had just read. Teddy left him? That quick?

Mahira's heart beating began to irregular. Cold sweat began to fill his face, legs and hands. This is impossible! Teddy must be just messing with this message, Mahira's mind then tried to call Teddy's number.

Teddy's number is off. Fear began to hit Mahira. He knew Teddy was mad at him. Teddy is disappointed that Mahira will not come with him to Singapore.

Mahira returned to reading the message that Teddy had just sent her half an hour ago.

Your choice. Sorry, I can't wait anymore

I have a lot of work in Singapore.

We'd better end our relationship here because I don't want to be in a long distance relationship anymore. I'm leaving and I won't

back again.

Mahira's tears dripped down her cheeks. He had no idea that Teddy would really leave him.

"Why you?" tanya Putri made Mahira surprised and hurriedly wiped away her tears.

"Hi, Put!" Mahira tried to smile but the Princess looked at her suspiciously. After all, Princess is his best friend since she was a Kindergarten. The princess knew how to suffer Mahira when her father and mother died simultaneously due to a plane crash they experienced when Mahira was 8 years old. And how to suffer Mahira when having to live together with om and tantenya. Om Mahira is the younger brother of his father. His name is Frans. It's actually good

But not with his wife. Mahira was always treated like a maid in the house who had to serve her aunt and Mahira's two female cousins.

It was his omana that became the source of strength for Mahira to survive and stay in that house.

Mahira who was smart to enter university when she was 3 months old again even 17 years. Mahira is keen to study and finally he graduated with a very proud result at the age of 20. 3 months after graduation, he graduated, Mahira got a job in one of the private banks and now he has been a year more employee at this bank, until finally Princess also got the same job with him.

"The problem at home again? Aunt Wulan is making trouble again?" guess Princess. The two had just ordered their lunch. The princess then went to the toilet and when she returned, Mahira's face looked very sad.

"No, Put."

"Then?".

"Teddy ended up going to Singapore and he cut off our relationship."

The princess patted his sidekick on the shoulder. "Yes already. You know I didn't really like it when you were in touch with Teddy. Maybe it's God's way of saying you're not a mate."

"The problem isn't that simple." Mahira took a deep breath.

"I know your relationship is long enough. 4 years. But you have to move on, Ra."

"I..., I may ha.mil." said Mahira softly as if afraid that anyone would hear because they were in a cafe near the bank where they worked.

"What's? How can? You and Teddy are......" The princess could not continue her sentence because she could not imagine how Mahira could do that with Teddy.

Mahira looked a little embarrassed. "We did it once. It happened two weeks ago. When Teddy's birthday."

"Mahira....! Why would you want to do that? Your aunt and your two cousins will definitely insult you all out. They might throw you out of that house. Then what about your Oma?" The princess wanted to hit her friend's head.

"I don't know why I was tempted that night by Teddy's appeal. My body seemed so passionate and so craved for its touch."

The princess does not want to corner her best friend anymore. He gave a tissue to Mahira.

"Calm down. You only did it once. The chances of getting pregnant may be small."

"The thing is, it's my fertile date, I'm afraid I'm gonna get pregnant, Put."

Mahira gives her phone so that Princess can read the message Teddy sent her.

"Yes already. Come home from work, we'll find Teddy. Who knows he's just bluffing you." Princess comforts her best friend.

At 5 pm, the two had gone down the Manado highway to go to Teddy's apartment in the city center. Teddy lives alone because his parents moved to Singapore. Teddy has only one younger sister who is also married and lives in Korea with her husband.

Arriving in front of Teddy's apartment which has the number 457, the Princess immediately rang the bell.

Shortly after, the door opened. But not Teddy, but a father in his 40s.

"Sorry, looking for who?" ask the father.

"Is this Teddy Kandow's apartment?"

The father smiled. "really. We bought it 3 days ago. Teddy's son seems to have left for Singapore this morning."

Mahira felt that her body had suddenly become weak. He even had to hold the Princess's arm to hold her almost fallen body.

"Thank you then, sir. Sorry to bother."

The father nodded. But when he noticed Mahira, he suddenly remembered something.

"Miss, wait a minute." The father went into the apartment and came out with a cardboard box in his hand. "There's Teddy's stuff left behind. There also seems to be a picture of this lady" said the father, pointing at Mahira.

"Thank you." The princess received the cardboard.

They immediately left the apartment building. When he was in the car, Mahira could not bear to open the cardboard. How surprised he was when he saw the contents of the cardboard is all the goods he gave to Teddy. There's a watch, some pictures of him. And also the tie and shirt that Mahira once presented when Teddy's birthday.

"He wants to forget me forever. All my gift items have nothing to bring. What do I do, Put?" mahira's tears broke again.

"Based on irresponsible men. Once he gets something valuable from you, he just leaves. Don't be sad, Ra. You must be strong. There are still many men who will accept you for who you are."

"What if I'm pregnant, Put? I will definitely be expelled from there. And Oma will suffer. How am I supposed to? I'm sad that Teddy left me but I'm afraid I'm pregnant." Mahira looked very desperate.

The princess was silent for a moment. Suddenly he remembered a name. "Germon!"

"Edmond?" Mahira was confused.

"Edmond Moreno."

"Why him?"

"He's gonna help you."

"Where is it possible? I have rejected it many times. He may already be abroad. Or maybe he's married."

"No. He's in Kalimantan. You remind me a year ago I met him in Jakarta? He's still asking you. Just a minute, I'll call him." The princess took her phone from her bag.

"You just shut up."

The princess searched for Edmond's name on her contact list. After finding the name, he immediately contacted her. The princess deliberately pressed the loud speaker so that Mahira could listen to their conversation.

On the fourth ring, the call is answered.

"Hallo, brother Edmond!" princesses Saya.

"Who is it?"

"Don't you keep my number? I'm the Princess."

"Which daughter?"

"Princess of her best friend Mahira Amalia Hamarung."

"Oh.I remember. How's Mahira doing?"

The princess looked at Mahira while raising one of her eyebrows.

"Mahira is no good. Is discouraged. I think he's going to kill himself."

"Why?" Edmond's voice sounded anxious.

"He broke up with Teddy."

"Why did you break up?"

"Teddy invited Mahira to live in Singapore. But Mahira could not leave his omens. I know what Mahira's background is. Teddy doesn't want to have a long-distance relationship. Finally Teddy left Mahira alone."

"Did he look so sad? I wish I could be there to help her."

"No one can help him."

"How?"

"Married her to save him."

"meaning?"

"Mahira may be pregnant."

"Why maybe?"

"He hasn't done a test. But she felt that she must be pregnant because when Teddy touched her, she was in fertile period. And if she's pregnant, then she's done."

Edmond was silent for a moment.

"Sister Ed, you're still there, right?" the Princess was worried because Edmond's voice was no longer heard.

"Daughter, does Mahira want to marry me?" ask Edmond.

"Now I'm asking you, would you marry Mahira if she were pregnant?"

"If she wants to be my real wife and learn to forget Teddy, I want to. You know, I loved him a long time ago."

"And his son."

"I'll love you like my own son."

"Sister really meant it, right?"

"If Mahira is ready to marry me, tomorrow I come to Manado."

"OKs. I'll talk to Mahira. Tonight, I'll tell brother."

"I will wait with pleasure. Tell Mahira, the old taste is still the same."

The princess broke the conversation between them. Now he looks at his best friend. "Edmond's ready, Ra. How's yours?"

"I'm confused, Put. Let's go home, yuk!"

**********

Oma Yohana smiled looking at her granddaughter who entered her room.

"I'm glad you're here. Uh, why are your eyes swollen?"

There was a slight misunderstanding with a friend in the office. Oma will know that I like to be a crybaby sometimes." Mahira pulls the chair to get closer with her oma wheelchair. It's been a year that he can't walk anymore.

"Mahira, when are you getting married? I can't wait to see you in a wedding dress."

"Oma, I just turned 22 years and 2 months ago. I still want to work."

Yohana stroked her grandson's hair. "Oma's afraid she won't see you getting married, son. Find a good man who will take responsibility for your life so you can get out of this hell house. Oma doesn't want you to be like Maya and Merry who spend their time in discos. What Oma heard, Merry had even aborted the contents. You don't like them, do you? A good woman is one who knows how to keep her honor. Who will give herself only to the man who is already her husband."

Mahira held back her tears from falling. What if I'm pregnant? Oma will be disappointed. Especially now that Teddy and I broke up.
