THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Coming to Mess

Mahira looked at her stomach through the large mirror that was in front of her. Her gestational age is now entering its fifth month and her stomach is now beginning to appear enlarged. Mahira often felt something moving inside her stomach.

The pregnant clothes that Mahira owned were all bought by Edmond. He can't wait to buy baby clothes. But Mahira said later that the content is already 7 months old.

The door to the room opened from the outside. Edmond came in. He smiled at Mahira.

"Hallo Ed." Say hello to Mahira with a smile. Edmond looks tired.

"Hallo darling." Edmond approached and immediately hugged Mahira and kissed his wife's lips. After that, Edmond slightly bent down and kissed Mahira's stomach. "Hallo papi's son. How areya? Today doesn't make my mom any trouble, does it?"

"He's already moving, Ed. Although still small movements but very make me happy."

"Oh, huh? Glad to hear. Can I feel it moving too?"

"Maybe soon. As he moves, there'll be a mark on my stomach."

Edmond hugged Mahira again. "I'm so tired. I almost relented and wanted to sleep in the mess alone. But I don't want you to feel lonely."

"Other times if you're tired, just sleep there. I have Juminten's aunt here accompanying me."

Edmond ruffled Mahira's hair. "Where can I sleep without you? I want bobo for a second, right? Wake me up in an hour for dinner. Tomorrow I have a lot of work. I'll probably be home a little bit tomorrow night" Edmond said as he took off his shoes and socks. He opened his blue suit and shirt. He even opened the pants he was wearing and only used a boxer. Edmond stepped into the bathroom to wash his hands and wash his face. Afterwards, wearing only a boxer, Edmond fell asleep.

Mahira was sorry to see Edmond who every day had to go back and forth from home to work. Edmond also had to drive himself a distance of 2 hours. I don't know why Ed wouldn't use a driver.

Seeing Edmond who seemed to fall asleep immediately, Mahira took a blanket and immediately enveloped the body of her husband who was almost naked.

Edmond is used to sleeping with a boxer. He prefers to sleep without using anything. Edmond once told Mahira, the skin also needs freedom after a day covered with thick and tight clothes. And Edmond does look very good if he sleeps like this.

Mahira, come to the kitchen. Actually he and aunt Juminten have since finished preparing dinner.

"Will I have the table ready, madam?" ask Juminten.

"Don't you, bi. Edmond's still asleep. He looks so tired."

"Sir is a Warkaholic. In the early days of building the company, he and Mr. Lerry almost every day sleep was already dawn. Eating alone almost always has to be fed by Miss Monalisa. Uh...." Juminten covered his own mouth because he was speechless as well.

"Bi, don't be afraid I'm jealous when I talk about Monalisa. I already know about him. Then he's very considerate of Ed, huh? I want to know what Monalisa used to do, which made Ed comfortable. I was also curious about Edmond's work so that he could be a good wife to her. I promise you, I'll never tell Edmond that aunt told me all this." Mahira holds Juminten's hand. His eyes full of pleading. Juminten, who had seen the kindness of Mahira, finally spoke.

"Actually the company was bought by Mr. Edmond and Mr. Lerry when it was almost bankrupt. As far as aunt, Mr. Lerry, Mr. Edmond, Miss Monalisa was the one who first bought the company. If Miss Sofia came in later. Later after the company rose then Miss Sofia came. The four of them always discuss in mess. Mr. Lerry is the director, Mr. Edmond is the deputy director. Miss Monalisa, don't know what her position is but looks like an important person as well. You see, every aunt heard them talking in the mess, always asking for Miss Monalisa's opinion. Miss Monalisa is not very good at cooking but she is very good at making cakes. Mr. Edmond loved Miss Monalisa's cake. That's all you know, ma'am."

Mahira smiles. He tried to be ordinary, but his heart asked. Doesn't Edmond not like sweet things? So what cake does not taste sweet?

"Bi, what kind of cake does Monalisa make?"

"Auntie doesn't know his name. Cake from abroad. Miss Monalisa is Spanish. Aunty often heard Mr. Ed and Ms. Monalisa speaking in Spanish."

"Oh yes. I also know that Monalisa is originally from Spain. Makasi ya bi. I'll search the internet for cakes that come from abroad. Later my aunt and I practice to make it together. It'll be a surprise for Edmond."

Juminten just smiled as he nodded. Every day, he was more and more amazed by the nature of Mahira. Even though he was young, Mahira always behaved as an adult. She is not the kind of woman who always spends her husband's money to please herself. Every time he took Juminten out, Mahira was just shopping for kitchen necessities. He prefers going to the traditional market. Mahira could laugh with him. Not infrequently, Mahira took Juminten's hand and considered him like his own best friend. Juminten feels that Mahira is not as bad as people have been talking about all this time.

"Bi, tomorrow morning we're getting ready to go huh? We'll take Edmond there."

"Well, really? Auntie's been missing aunt's grandchildren."

"Auntie has grandchildren?"

"Aunty's eldest son also works at a coconut oil production site. We live together in the employee mess that's in the flats."

"Oh, is that it?"

"Did Mr Edmond know we were coming?"

"Yet. I want to surprise him. Auntie just get the groceries we're gonna bring in there."

"Well, ma'am." auntie nodded even though she was a little afraid of Mahira going there.

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

Edmond who just finished bathing, was surprised to see Mahira who was also neat.

"Darling, you want to get out?" edmond asked while rubbing his still wet hair. Last night he just woke up to eat after that sleep again.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why every time you see me innocently like this you always turn your face away. In that case we've often been seen without clothes, right?" edmond asked with a seductive look.

Mahira turned her body and looked at her husband. Edmond's near-perfect body shape, making women who do not want to see it. But the woman still felt embarrassed to see him even though he had always seen Ed's body when they made love.

Mahira finally came forward. He took the shirt and put it on Edmond. After all the buttons were put in place, he took the cloth pants and gave them to Edmond. After Edmond finished wearing his pants, Mahira also helped Edmond to install his tie.

"It's over." Mahira.

Suddenly Edmond pulled Mahira's body and hugged her tightly. "You know, my feelings right now are very happy. Why don't you help me get dressed every morning? I feel so spoiled by you." Edmond drowned his head between Mahira's black hair as his hand rubbed Mahira's back very gently.

"Ed, I'll come with you to work. We'll stay there. You don't mind, do you?"

Edmond let go of his embrace slowly. "You're gonna stay in mess?"

"Yes. You said mess was done you fixed it. You also ordered a new bed. What else is going to be done there?"

"Yes there is no. Everything is ready. It's just that if you know you want to leave this morning, I'll prepare everything you need there. You see, the market's a little far away, baby."

"That's why you don't worry. My aunt and I prepared it. It's wednesday now. We will only stay there for 2 days. Friday afternoon we're back here."

"All right."

"Thank you." Mahira kissing Edmond's cheek made Edmond surprised while holding his cheek. His face looks happy.

"I'm waiting at the dinner table for breakfast." Mahira immediately left the room with a slightly blushing face.

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

When they arrive in front of Mess, it appears that the new Lerry will come out of the mess next door.

"Good morning. Mrs Moreno, did you come here?"

"Yes. We'll stay here."

"Waw. My neighbor already exists. Sometimes I eat here, right? I like your cooking. Very good." said Lerry with a charming smile.

Edmond glared at his best friend. Mahira laughed. "Here, eat here if you're not busy."

"Darling, we have..."

"It is with pleasure that Mrs Moreno." Lerry cut off Edmond's speech.

"You go first. I'll catch up." Edmond stared irritatedly at Lerry and then immediately took Mahira's hand to enter the house.

"This is his room. I renovated it to make it look bigger. I also changed all the furniture. You likey?" ask Edmond.

"Yes. I like it."

Edmond kissed Mahira's forehead. "I went to work first, yeah. We had a meeting this morning. No need to prepare lunch. Because the meeting sometimes mollor up to lunch hour. The company will prepare that."

"Do you have time to go home to eat even for a little while? The distance to the Mess is close. Walking can also. If the car ride is not up to 5 minutes has arrived."

Edmond smiled. "I just don't want you to be tired, baby." He held Mahira's cheek. "I love you." He kissed Mahira's lips and kissed her stomach. "The fire goes to work, baby.."

Mahira escorted Edmond to the door. Edmond got back into his car and left immediately.

When Mahira re-entered the house, he saw Juminten was filling the refrigerator with the ingredients they brought.

"Bi, what's changed in this house?" ask Mahira.

"The kitchen is wider now. The main room as well. If so, Mr. Ed's room is on the left. Now it's in the right room. Maybe you want to change the mood."

Mahira wants to ask about Monalisa but she holds herself back. He's already here. Something about Monalisa will be known. Somehow, Mahira felt that there was a secret that Edmond did not want to tell her.
