THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
The Sweet Edmond

"Darling, today I made an appointment with the obstetrician. At 7pm we'll check your contents" Edmond said as he wore his shirt.

Mahira who was making the bed stopped her activities for a while. "Tonight? Didn't you say last night you didn't come home today because there was a shareholder meeting tonight?"

"The shareholders' meeting was withdrawn at two in the afternoon. So I think we can go to the doctor."

"Why not just postpone? Find a day where you are not busy."

The finished Edmond wearing his tie approached Mahira. "Lusa, I'm going to Jakarta. Do you remember the permission of the company I told you at the time? The ministry called us. Me and Lerry are leaving. And before leaving, I want to know the state of our growing child in your womb." Edmond held Mahira's stomach. Swiping slowly. "Look, your stomach's starting to get hard, huh?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"But why not yet?"

"I don't know either."

"Aren't you vomiting anymore? How's food?"

"I don't like eating rice very much. I just want to eat vegetables."

"Must eat rice, baby. Eat fruit too and don't forget milk."

"Well Mr. Moreno."

Edmond chuckles. He likes to hear Mahira calling him by his family name. "Mrs Moreno, don't forget to take a nap?"

"Ready."

"Ah, I'm becoming more and more in love with you, my wife." Edmond pulled Mahira's body in his arms. She drowned her face in Mahira's beautiful hair, sipping her fragrance while closing her eyes. Mahira felt her heart become warm whenever Edmond hugged her and whispered sweet words.

"Ed, you'll be late for the company."

Edmond let go of his embrace. In his face Mahira's face intensely made Mahira a little embarrassed.

"What the hell, Ed?" Mahira was about to throw her gaze to another place but one hand Edmond held her chin gently and forced her to keep looking at him.

"Darling, when are you going to open your heart to me? When are you going to say that you love me too? We've been married 3 months. But I have not seen your eyes sparkle staring at me with love. I already have your body. You always give me the satisfaction every time we finish making love. But I want your heart too."

"Ed, I ...." Mahira doesn't know what to say. Deep down, he still remembers Teddy sometimes. It is too difficult for Mahira to hate the figure of a man who 4 years once filled the days of his life. If hating is impossible, forgetting is the best way. And forgetting that takes a rather long process.

"Ed, with you I feel happy. With you I feel so loved. I can't waste all the love you gave me. I'm sure I can love you, Ed. I will open my heart and fill it with your love. Just, give me a little time. For throwing away all my memories with Teddy for those 4 years, it's not a young thing. But that doesn't mean it's impossible." Mahira was finally able to let out her heart.

Edmond smiled happily. "I'll win your heart, baby. If it had to start from winning your body, I would do everything so that your body would only vibrate by my touch." Edmond lowered his head and kissed Mahira's lips gently. Sip slowly. Enjoying all the sweetness he can get from the kiss that gets a reply from Mahira.

"Ed, you're gonna be late...."

"Get its shareholders at 2. I can leave at 11 o'clock from here" said Edmond in a trembling voice, unwilling to hide the sudden desire that had arisen from him. In instead of the suit that had been stuck on his body. Turn off his phone. Then her hand opened Mahira's dress impatiently.

"Let's get laid, baby." Edmond whispered sensually in his wife's ears and lifted Mahira's body and stepped into their bed that Mahira had just tidied up.

Juminten looked at the couple who had just walked out of the room while holding hands. His hair was wet, and when Mahira went to the kitchen to help him prepare breakfast, he said that Edmond was taking a bath.

"The coffee is cold. I'll make another new one." Mahira said as Edmond sat down at the dinner table.

Juminten's eyes stared at the red mark on Mahira's neck. It looks new. Different from what he saw a few days ago. Now he understood, what was done by the couple so that they just came out of the room when the clock was showing at 10 am. Because usually Mr. Edmond will leave at 7 am.

"Madam, did I reheat the soup again?" ask Juminten.

"No need, bi. The rice is hot." Said Mahira who had finished making coffee. Edmond looks serious about his phone.

"Honey, eat first." said Mahira then sat down next to Edmond and poured rice on his plate.

"Add a little rice, honey. I was a little hungry this morning" Edmond said. "New numbers have finished the sport." Edmond slowed down his last sentence making Mahira glare at him. Fortunately when Mahira looked back, Juminten's aunt was gone..

"It turns out, making love in the morning can increase the immunity to work. I feel happy this morning. I'm sure the meeting can be passed briefly successfully. Is it possible that every morning we make love before I leave for work?" edmond asked as he looked at Mahira who was sitting beside him.

Edmond chuckles. "I love this blushing face of yours, baby."

"E.....!" Mahira was embarrassed. Edmond could not bear to kiss Mahira's cheek and he enjoyed his breakfast voraciously.

While eating, Mahira thought of something. If today is a shareholder meeting, shouldn't Monalisa exist? Didn't Bi Juminten say that Monalisa is one of the largest shareholders in the company?

"Ed, what about the mess? Have you finished renovating?" ask Mahira.

"Almost done, baby. Maybe next week it's all done."

"What needs to be renovated? When I got in there it looked good. The mess is still new.

"Yes. The building was only 2 years old I lived in. I renovated the main room to make it bigger and more comfortable for you to live in."

"Can't I come with you today?"

Edmond who had finished his breakfast looked at Mahira. "Honey, I'm leaving at 11. It's there most want at 1. Not long after the meeting will begin. This meeting is held every 3 months. Usually a little long. The completion may be around 5 p.m. And we have to hurry home because the schedule met with the doctor at 7. You'll definitely be sapped."

"All right."

"Don't pout that, ah. Later if the mess is renovated, you can come."

Mahira nodded. He smiled even though his heart was very curious about the figure of Monalisa.

*********

Before 7 p.m., Edmond was home. They went to the gynecologist's office that Edmond had chosen. A woman named Doctor Nana.

"Everything looks good, his heart rate is good too. It's just that the fetus is too small. Madam has to eat a lot and drink the milk and vitamins I'm going to prescribe. Still nauseous or vomiting?" ask Nana's doctor while cleaning the gel marks in Mahira's stomach.

"No vomiting, doc. Sometimes I get nauseous when I smell something I don't like. Milk is also always my drink." replied Mahira then slowly got up and got off the bed.

Doctor Nana writes a prescription and hands it over to Mahira. While Edmond seems still fixated on the photo of USG results that are now in his hands.

"Darling, let's go home!" bring Mahira.

Edmond thanked the doctor and took Mahira's hand to get out of the doctor's office.

"What's up, Ed?" mahira asked when the two were already in the car.

"I feel like crying looking at this picture. Can being a father be this sensitive?"

Mahira became very moved. This was not Edmond's flesh blood, yet the man already felt that this was really his son. "Ed, this kid must be so proud to have a father like you." Mahira said and immediately kissed Edmond's cheek with happiness.

Edmond was surprised to receive the kiss. He looked at Mahira. "You kissed me?"

"You want more?"

"Of course." replied Ed enthusiastically.

Mahira again intended to kiss Edmond on the cheek but the man quickly turned his face away so that the kiss landed right on his lips.

"E....!" Mahira pinched Edmond's waist. But the man just laughed. Then run his car to leave the practice.
