THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Gender Baby

The examination time arrived. Mahira did not want to bother anymore the problem of Edmond's different colors. He learned to refrain from interfering with anything that would worsen his relationship with Edmond. Mahira was quite grateful that Edmond accepted himself as he was.

Doctor Nana as usual asked Mahira a few questions before finally doing USG.

"Doc, is the gender known?" ask Edmond.

"could. Mr Moreno has a special desire for his gender?"

Edmond held Mahira's hand. "For us it's the same, doc. Whether male or female, we will accept it with pleasure. It's just that if asked to choose, I want a daughter. He said, if the old one is a girl, then he can be a good brother to his sisters."

Doctor Nana nodded. "It seems that Mr. Moreno's prayer was answered. This child's gender is a girl."

"really?" Edmond's eyes immediately glazed over. He looks very happy. "Darling, we're gonna have a baby girl." Edmond kissed Mahira's forehead, making his wife blush a little because there was a doctor Nana there.

"Mrs have to eat a lot, right? The baby's weight is still too small. I'll get you some vitamins."

"But the kid's healthy, right, Doc?" ask Edmond.

"healthy. His heart rate's good, too."

Edmond breathed a sigh of relief. He helps Mahira to get up and helps her get out of bed.

When the two left Nana's doctor's office, Edmond seemed happy. He held Mahira's hand.

"What's wrong?" mahira asked as she glanced at Edmond.

"I'm happy. So happy that it felt like crying. I can't wait to see the birth of our child."

"There's 3 months left, Ed."

Edmond rubbed Mahira's stomach. Some people who saw them were moved and felt that the couple seemed to love each other.

From the doctor, they stopped by a restaurant. Edmond forced Mahira to eat a lot according to the doctor's advice. He even fed Mahira. Mahira's heart became even more moved by all Edmond's concern for her.

"Honey, there's something I want to talk to you about" Mahira said as the two got home. Aunt Juminten is not here today because she went home to see her sick grandson.

"What's that?" edmond asked while sitting near Mahira. Edmond had just finished making a glass of pregnant milk for Mahira.

"If this child was born, Juminten's aunt would know that while pregnant, I would have conceived."

Edmond grabbed Mahira's hands and held them tightly. "I told you not to think about it. Let me arrange everything. Anyway you just live this pregnancy period calmly and happily so that our child can also grow well in it."

"But, what if his face turns out to be similar...."

Edmond took Mahira into his arms. "I'm pretty sure this kid will look like both of us."

Mahira immediately cried in Edmond's arms. "Would I live in another city? I'm always haunted by fear when I imagine this kid's face, Ed."

"Don't be like that, Ra. Do we not always pray together so that this child can be born healthy? That was what we fought together. About faces later. My cousin in Spain took a foster child. An Italian child. The boy is now 10 years old. And people say that her face is a fusion between my cousin and her husband. So you don't worry. Don't think about it. I believe this child will represent the faces of both million."

Mahira nodded in Edmond's arms. He was grateful that Edmond always gave him strength. Always show great care and love for him. Mahira always felt special. Even though the problem is still a question for him, Mahira tries not to ask. He wanted to enjoy all the love Edmond had given him.

"Darling, if our child is born, may I give him the name Edewina? Like my sister's name." Edmond asked as he stroked Mahira's back. The woman is still in her arms.

"On name, I leave it all in your hands, Ed. Give him the best name you think. I'll definitely agree."

Edmond smiled. "Thank you, baby." Then he kissed the top of Mahira's head. He momentarily imagined his brother's face. An older brother who loved him so much but had to end his life in a tragic way.

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

Mahira's stomach is growing. We are entering the 8th month. She and Edmond had also been shopping for maternity clothes a week ago.

Since yesterday, Mahira followed Edmond to his workplace. Her husband was doing a lot of work and Mahira felt fond of seeing Edmond who had to go back and forth from home to the company with a considerable distance. Moreover, Edmond does not want to use a driver.

This morning, the two walked together around the complex. Mahira was quite relieved because the mothers no longer looked at her cynically. Maybe it was because there was Edmond beside him or also because they were used to seeing Mahira here.

Without Mahira knowing, Juminten always told the neighbors about Mahira's good attitude. Juminten who had been seeing for himself and felt the tenderness of the girl felt called to clear the name of Mahira who had been labeled as a female actor who matre.

"Racid?" edmond asked as the two reached back to mess.

"Lumayan." replied Mahira while taking a small towel under her to wipe the sweat on her face.

"Good morning sir, madam." said Juminten who was temporarily sweeping the living room.

"Good morning, bi." Reply the two then enter without releasing the handrails between them.

"Darling, I made you pregnant milk?" edmond.

"And I'll make you your coffee. What do you want for breakfast this morning?"

"Grain bread only. My body is a bit up. Some of my work pants are kind of tight on my waist when I wear them." Edmond said as he held onto his waist.

"That's it, sir. If the wife is pregnant with a daughter, the husband often rises. Just like my late husband. After 5 years of marriage and having 2 daughters, his weight even rose to 10 kg." said Juminten.

Edmond remembers Juminten's husband. "Wow, if I get fat with a fat belly, will you still like me, baby?" edmond asked as he glanced at Mahira who was stirring the coffee he made.

"My love will be as big as your weight, baby." replied Mahira without turning her head towards Edmond.

"really?"' Something made Edmond happy. The word "love" that Mahira said.

Mahira put the glass containing coffee in her hand on the dining table.

"Yes." Yeah."

Edmond immediately hugged Mahira making the woman a little surprised. "Ed, there's an aunt." Mahira pushes Edmond's body.

"Just be wild. Aunty knew I was happy." said Edmond followed by a nod to the woman's head. Aunt Juminten already knew that Edmond was a romantic man. Although he used to be with Monalisa, Edmond was rarely as friendly as he was with Mahira.

After Edmond had breakfast, he left for work. Lerry is on assignment in Surabaya. Usually if you know Mahira there, Lerry will take breakfast and lunch here. Unfortunately, Mahira never saw Sofia come to their Mess.

"Madam, done cooking, can auntie go for a minute? Today's aunt's granddaughter's birthday. Aunty wants to go shopping for a small celebration this afternoon. Later finished shopping, aunt returned again." said Juminten.

Mahira who just finished her bath after cooking nodded. "Auntie don't go back. Then tomorrow morning."

"Can?"

"Yes. Happy birthday to her granddaughter. Just a minute." Mahira went into the room and came back with a few hundred thousand bills.

"It's for aunt."

"But it's not a payday yet, madam."

"Who said this is Aunt Juminten's salary? I'm giving this to an additional shopping event for a grandson's birthday."

"Oh my God, lady. It's too much."

Juminten accepted it with hara. "If the lady is pleased, will she come to the flats?"

"I'll try, bi. I have to ask Edmond's permission first."

Juminten. He quickly left and went to the market to shop.

After the aunt left, Mahira left the front door open because it was 11 o'clock. Edmond will be home soon. Mahira went back into her room to pick up the rubber and tied her hair because the air was a bit cold.

While combing her hair, Mahira heard a voice outside the room. He hurried out thinking it was Edmond.

"E....!" call Mahira. He looked outside and found no one. He finally stepped back. But there are no people there either .

Mahira will return to the living room when she realizes that the kitchen door is open. He walked over to close the door again.

"Ah....H.....!" Mahira screams in surprise when she realizes that the floor is slippery. He could not hold his balance and he fell and hit his head on the ceramic floor.

**********

"Darling.....!" call Edmond when entering the mess. The front door is unlocked.

Edmond opened the door. Mahira was not there. He stepped backwards.

"Mahira.....!" Edmond immediately screamed hysterically when he saw Mahira's body lying on the floor. Mahira did not open her eyes but there was fresh blood flowing in her calves.

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

Good morning.....

happy preparation of the fast.....

May her fast be launched this year
