THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Early Meeting

Mahira remembers the first time she met Edmond......

Mahira jumps down from the angkot that leads her to the front gate of her university. He knew that today he was very late on the second day of the implementation of the New Student Guidance at the faculty of economics.

This morning Mahira is kept busy by her two cousins, Maya and Merry. They asked to make fried rice because the maid at home was returning home because her parents died. In that case Mahira had to leave the house at 6 am because all new students were told to gather at half-time seven in the morning. And now the clock has shown at 7 am.

Finish me! Inner Mahira.

"Too late?"

Mahira's steps stopped. He was searching for the source of the sound. He finally saw a handsome guy who was stepping towards him. From the t-shirt he wore, Mahira knew that this guy was the committee.

"Good morning, brother!" Mahira bowed in respect. He knows this brother. Most popular by girls. Edmund Moreno. Men of Spanish-Manado descent. But he's a technical student? Why also stray in the faculty of economics?

"Why late? Want to run around the field?" edmond asked with a cold and sharp look.

"Readily wrong. I have extra work at home."

"Are you a housekeeper?"

"My mom is sick. Nobody takes care of Oma at home."

Edmond stared at the girl in front of him intensely.

"You're not lying, are you?"

"No, brother."

"Where is the evidence that you have Oma?"

"There's a photo on my phone. But we're not allowed to bring cell phones."

"Give me your mobile number. If you're home, send your video along with your Oma."

Mahira also mentioned her number. Edmond took note quickly.

"Now, you have to pretend to be sick. Come on!" Edmond took Mahira's hand.

"So, how's the hold-holding?"

"The story is that you are sick. So you have to pretend to be dizzy. If not, you run around the field. Wanna?"

Mahira also let Edmond hold him and step towards the faculty of economics.

Teddy Kandow, who was one of the organizers in the economics faculty stared at the arrival of Mahira and Edmond.

"Too late?" asked Teddy while looking at Mahira sharply.

"He's dizzy. I found him unconscious at the gate. So I took him to the infirmary. His blood pressure's a little low." Edmond.

Teddy looked back at Mahira.

"What's your name?" ask Teddy.

"Mahira, brother." Mahira replied with a fast beating heart. He had seen some students who ran around the field because it was too late.

"How are you doing?" ask Teddy again.

"It's a little better, brother." Mahira. I dare not look at Teddy.

"Please join your friends."

Mahira pulled her hand slowly which was still held by Edmond. "Thank you for helping me, brother."

Edmond smiled. Some of the senior girls were obviously very envious of seeing Mahira being held by Edmond.

"A problem at home?" asked the Princess as Mahira sat down on the grass.

"Diagulau. Maya and Merry."

"Your two cousins are demons."

Mahira could only take a deep breath. He noticed that Edmond was still talking to some seniors and that the guy looked at him occasionally.

"Fortunately you were saved by Edmond." whispered the Princess.

"Lucky what? He's a playboy at this university."

Teddy's approaching. "Why are you two whispering to each other?"

"There's nothing, brother. I just asked if Mahira was sick." said the Princess.

"Yes, already. Attention ahead as today's activities will begin."

Mahira and the Princess breathed a sigh of relief.

********

It was late when Mahira came home. He wanted to take a quick shower and intended to see his eyes. But as he was about to step outside the room, he heard his phone ring. There was a message coming in from an unknown number.

Where is the evidence that you have Oma

Mahira grunted in annoyance. "Germon!" He went to his room.

"Mom....!"

"Darling, are you home?"

Mahira nodded. He approached his omana. "Oma, let's make a video, yuk!"

"Video for what?"

"Hi brother, it's my Oma. His name is Oma Yohana." said Mahira while showing the existence of himself and the Oma who was sitting on the bed.

After that, he sent the video to Edmond's number.

"Oma, I take a shower? Oma's eating?"

"It has. Frans gave Oma something to eat. Oma was happy because she had already returned from out of town."

Mahira nodded. He is also happy if he is here. At the very least, he would be free from orders to do this and that.

As he returned to his room, another message came from Edmond.

You're beautiful, just like your oma.

Mahira just smiled. It's play boy!

***********

During one week of the implementation of the new student guidance activities, Mahira always saw Edmond present at his faculty. The guy often looks at Mahira secretly but Mahira does not want to be a big head because he knows that Edmond is in demand by many people not only because he is handsome but also because he is a child of people wealthy. Although Mahira noticed that Edmond's appearance was very simple. He carries more of his motor sport than his family's luxury car collection.

"Ra, yesterday Brother Teddy asked about you" said the Princess as they were taking a short break before continuing the closing ceremony tonight.

"Teddy Kandow you mean?"

"Well, where else is Teddy?"

Mahira frowned. "What's up until Teddy's sister asks me?"

"She asks who you are, your family, whether you are close to someone or not. I thought that she liked you."

Mahira laughs. "Sister Teddy likes me? Could be you. I admit, Teddy's brother is also handsome and charismatic. His quiet carving made many people like him. How could he like me?"

"Mahira. You are beautiful. The blood of Dayak and Manado that flows through your body creates a sweet, cute girl figure, although sometimes the jutek likes to come out."

Mahira was getting stronger and more laughing. Until finally his laughter stopped when he saw Teddy looking at him with a cold and mysterious gaze. The girl immediately turned her eyes elsewhere. He was actually now faced with Edmond who was looking at him with a smile. Mahira chose to pretend to open the bag underneath and take her phone. On the last day, they were allowed to bring their own cell phones and bags.

A message came in.

Hi Mahira, can I finish my show to take you home?

That's a message from Edmond.

Mentari's face became tense. He did not dare to look at Edmond standing up.

"Who? " ask the Princess.

"Oma." replied Mahira then back to save the phone.

The closing ceremony of student guidance activities was completed at exactly 10 p.m.

"Just go home together." Bring Princess.

"No, Put. Our home is not in the same direction. Your papa will turn far. There are still angkots. It's Sunday night anyway. So it's still a lot."

"alright. I'll go home first, okay?" pamit Putri then ran a little he headed to his papa car that was waiting for him there.

Mahira took her coat from inside her bag as she felt the air getting colder. He stood at the bus stop to wait for the angkot to pass. But somehow the anticipated angkot does not come and the campus is getting quieter.

Mahira was almost desperate when a motorbike stopped in front of him.

"Let's go home!" Edmond said as he unfastened his helmet cover.

"I'll just wait for the angkot, sis." refused Mahira.

"old numbers. It's almost 11 in the night anyway. Let me take you!" Edmond got off the bike and took another helmet from the trunk of his bike.

Mahira was somewhat hesitant in fact to accept Edmond's invitation.

"Don't be afraid! I'm not a pervert guy who's gonna take advantage of you. Our house is in the same direction." said Edmond with a smile.

Mahira also received the helmet. He put it on and with a little nervousness, he sat behind Edmond. The guy slowly runs the bike.

Either only the feeling of Mahira alone but he felt that Edmond run the bike very slowly as if he did not want them to be quick until.

"Thank you, brother." said Mahira then immediately get off the bike and give back Edmond's helmet. Without waiting for Edmond to leave, Mahira immediately pushed the gate and entered the house.

When Mahira had taken a bath and was preparing to go to sleep, she received a message from Edmond.

I like you. I even hope

if you're ready, you'll be

my boyfriend. Have a nice dream Mahira.

***********

The college days began. Mahira tries not to be distracted by all the messages Edmond sends her.

Edmond with all his charms, all his sweet words and his attention that is really very excessive according to Mahira, is actually able to make any girl including Mahira will fall in love with him. But Mahira closed the door of her heart very tightly. He didn't want to fall for that handsome guy. He did not want to be the next victim of Edmond. Mahira felt that she was just an ordinary girl. An orphan girl who just hitchhiked in the house om and tantenya. Mahira does not want that his two cousins will feel rivaled and try to break his relationship with Edmond. Mahira did not want to be heartbroken when he was 17 years old.4 times, Edmond declared his love for Mahira and 4 times also Mahira rejected him. Even on the day of his graduation, Edmond still asked Mahira to accompany him. And Mahira made Edmond very disappointed when the girl said no.

On the one hand, Teddy was getting closer to Mahira. Teddy is handsome. But not as handsome as Edmond. According to the Princess. Teddy was a little quiet. Very different from Edmond who was a little chatty, according to Mahira. Teddy just shows his attention with action sometimes without talking. Like when they accidentally met in the hospital when oma Mahira had to be treated. At that time Mahira felt very sad because om, Aunt and her two cousins were on vacation outside the city. Teddy without being asked to help Mahira take care of the oma for 2 days. He was not even willing to go home. That is what makes Mahira began to fall for Teddy, until finally, a month after his omanya out of the hospital, Teddy declared his love for Mahira. And Mahira accepted it because oma also supported her. The princess who looks disappointed because actually the Princess wants Mahira with Edmond.
