THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Come with Husband

"Who are you going to Kalimantan?"

Edmond nodded. He held Mahira's cheek. "Yes, honey. When we got married, I couldn't ask you to come with me because there was an oma. Now that oma is dead, there's nothing else that makes you have to stay here."

"But my job? I wanted to work in a bank. And I got that job. Should I stop?" Mahira felt hard to leave her job.

"Honey, I was upset when I got your call this morning. You threatened to ask for a divorce. I feel like it's not you."

Mahira's face was embarrassed. He also did not understand why he became so emotional this morning. "I.....!" Mahira got up and sat down with a confused face.

Edmond smiled. He got up and sat down and hugged his wife who was sitting behind him. "Don't be shy. Said my doctor friend, a pregnant woman will usually behave like her. It's baby-congenital. Let's just hope our son isn't as cute as his mom right now, huh?"

"E....!" Mahira is getting embarrassed.

Edmond kissed his wife's shoulder very gently. "You're gonna come with me, right?"

"Ed, should I leave my job?"

Edmond held Mahira's shoulder and asked that his wife face him. Mahira complied and turned her body. "My wife, I don't want to hear any more of your complaints about me calling you. I don't want to make you feel lonely. So you're gonna have to quit your job for our common good. Because now the most important thing is our togetherness as a family."

Mahira bowed lethargic. He really loves his work. But he also did not want to be lonely in his life. He could not continue to trouble the Princess by asking her to come with him.

"alright. I'll be leaving the bank on Monday."

Edmond smiled. He hugged Mahira with affection. "Thank you for your sacrifice, baby."

"Now we sleep." Mahira was about to let go of Edmond's embrace but the man was still holding her.

"I miss." whispered Edmond and began to kiss Mahira on the neck.

"I....." Mahira wanted to refuse but her body shook to accept Edmond's touch. 2 months did not touch each other, of course they both missed each other. Mahira also resigned in Edmond's arms.

************

The next day, Mahira said goodbye to Frans' family. After that, Mahira went to the tomb of Oma Yohana.

On Monday, Mahira said goodbye to her friends at the bank. Everyone seems sad if Mahira has to resign. Especially Princess. He does not stop crying.

"You'll go far. Why haven't you told me since yesterday? You're so mean, Ra."

Mahira smiles. "I am still in Indonesia. Only in East Kalimantan too. Sometimes you can go there or I'll come here."

The princess held Mahira's stomach. "I will not be able to see the process of his birth."

Mahira hugged her best friend. Since from TK they have been friends. It feels heavy to forget. But Mahira also realized that he now has his own life. Fate had made her with Edmond and she had to go with Edmond wherever he went.

Finally, after a farewell event that made tears fall, Mahira went straight to the airport with Edmond. Not much stuff he brought. Just the important letters and some clothes.

During the journey from Manado to Samarinda, Edmond showed great concern for Mahira. He even happily told the flight attendant that his wife was pregnant. Mahira felt very privileged and dear.

"Ed, why are we staying at a hotel? Don't you have a place to live here?" mahira asked as they arrived at one of the hotels.

"Darling, my place of work is far from here. We'll be in the car in 2 hours. I don't want you to be too tired. After all, at the location of the company, the place was quiet. I live in a mess. The place is not too big and has 2 rooms. Because you're pregnant, so I'm gonna find a house to contract with in this town."

"So every day you will travel for 4 hours to go home and go?" ask Mahira.

Edmond smiled. He knelt before Mahira and held his wife's hands together. "Whatever I'll do for you."

"So if you go to work, I'm alone in the hotel?"

"For a while, baby. If I get the house, of course I will provide people to accompany you."

"Why don't we just stay in your mess?"

"It's far inland. It was the location of the palm oil company and also the production of cooking oil. But my job is not only in that company, I also handle a coal mine located an hour away from the mess."

Mahira was silent for a moment. Is his decision to resign from his workplace right? Or will he feel lonely here?

"Dear, don't be sad, dong. I'm sure you'll get used to it."

Mahira's head finally nodded. He forced a smile even though his heart became upset. Can he live a life like this?

***********

Early in the morning, Edmond had already left for his workplace. He kissed Mahira and told her not to forget breakfast and lunch. He'll try before dinner to be back at the hotel.

Mahira wakes up in the morning, takes a shower and has breakfast. He had breakfast in the restaurant while enjoying the atmosphere around the hotel which gave a beautiful view.

"Mrs Moreno?" A woman wearing black pants and a black shirt approached her. The woman in her 30s looked neat with her hair rolled up.

The woman smiled. "My name is Alika. I am an employee at this hotel. Mr. Moreno asked me to take the madam for a walk around Samarinda today."

"You're the driver at this hotel?" mahira asked a little surprised because usually the driver of the hotel is a man.

"I actually opened the hotel driver. But because Mr. Moreno wanted the driver to be a woman, the hotel manager appointed me to accompany the lady. I happen to have a SIM." Alika said with a friendly smile.

Basic possessive! The driver must be female. Ah, Edmond, are you so scared that there's a man coming at me? Inner Mahira while shaking her head.

"alright. In half an hour we'll be gone." Mahira then immediately left the restaurant to change clothes.

*************

Alika turned out to be a very fun person. Mahira felt comfortable while walking with him. He took Mahira around Samarinda. And what makes Mahira happy most is that Alika was from the Dayak tribe as well.

"My father is also from Borneo. It's the Dayak tribe. My clan Hamarung. I met my mom on the plane. At that time papa had a duty to Manado and mama was a flight attendant. They fell in love at first sight. And from that meeting, they seemed to not want to let go of each other. Just 2 months from the wedding, they ended up getting married."

Mahira and Alika are enjoying lunch at a restaurant.

"Oh, huh? A unique love story. As was the lady and master Moreno right? You must have been there not long ago. You see, a few months ago, I still saw Mr. Moreno with Miss Monalisa."

"Monalized?"

Alika looked surprised. "sorry. I shouldn't have told you about Mr. Moreno."

"I know Monalisa." Mahira chose to lie. "Did they stay at the hotel where you worked?"

"always. Mr. Moreno and Ms. Monalisa are among the owners of the hotel's shares."

"Edmond did say that he had a stake in one of the hotels. Not this hotel." Mahira tries to act ordinary even though she is curious about a girl named Monalisa.

"Yes. Our hotel was opened only 2 years ago but became one of the most booked hotels by visitors."

"I'm glad this hotel could be a success." Mahira is actually curious to ask again about Monalisa but he does not want Akira to be suspicious. That is why he chose to switch the subject. Whatever Monica has Edmond's ex-girlfriend, what and how their relationship is, Mahira should not disturb him like Edmond who does not disturb his past.

Edmond arrived at the hotel at night. Mahira was vomiting in the bathroom as soon as Edmond walked in.

"Darling....., are you vomiting? I'm in, right?" edmond said as he knocked on the bathroom door. Because there was no word from Mahira, he opened the door. At her sight Mahira was kneeling beside the toilet with a cold sweaty face.

"Come, Ed. I was vomiting. It's disgusting." Mahira said and then took out his stomach.

Edmond ignored Mahira's words. He approached and squatted behind his wife. Slowly he rubbed the nape of Mahira.

"You feeling good?" edmond asked when he saw Mahira was no longer vomiting.

"It's kind of better. I'm gonna lay down for a second." Mahira stood assisted by Edmond. Both of them came out of the bathroom.

Edmond helped Mahira lie down. After that he took a blanket to cover Mahira's body. "Darling, I'm sorry?"

"Sorry for what?"

"For two months in Manado, you were tormented by having to endure all of this from the start. I should have brought you here sooner."

"It's been somewhat reduced vomit. Today I enjoy breakfast and lunch without any nausea. Thank you, you've sent a driver to accompany me for a walk."

"So you're not bored. The driver's good, right?'

"Why should it be a girl?"

Edmond chuckles. "As I told you, that I'm too possessive. You're gorgeous. I don't want another man close to you." Edmond stroked Mahira's face. "You're only mine."

Mahira's face became blushing. "I'm sleepy." He pretended to close his eyes.

"I take a shower, okay? In an hour we'll have dinner together." Edmond kissed Mahira's cheek and headed straight to the bathroom.

Upon hearing the door of the room close, Mahira opened her eyes. His curiosity about Monalisa made his heart want to know who the girl was.

Mahira's eyes were fixed on Edmond's cell phone he had left on the nightstand. Mahira took the phone. He slowly opened it and it turned out to use a password. Mahira tried Edmond's date of birth. Turns out wrong, then he casually typed his birthday date. Mahira almost jumped because of the shock that the password of the phone was her date of birth. He's looking for Monalisa's name in the contact list. Mahira opened a photo gallery that was mostly a photo of the two of them. There are no suspicious photos. Finally Mahira put the phone back and laid her body back. Ah, I won't find out about that girl named Monalisa anymore. Edmond may have thrown away everything related to Monalisa.

Mahira closed her eyes.
