THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Follows

Edmond had just informed me that he had arrived in Jakarta. He even asked Mahira to Videocall with the Viennese baby until he arrived at the hotel and went into the room. That way, Mahira knew which hotel Edmond was in.

"Will it be done at the hotel?" ask Mahira.

"Yes, honey. Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, we cooking oil producers will meet. Discussed a few things regarding cooking oil production. The meeting will be held for 2 days. After that we will meet with some entrepreneurs from abroad who will cooperate with us. Actually it's Lerry's job but Lerry is taking care of his parents' company that was having problems in Australia."

"Oh, is that it? Already eaten?"

Edmond nodded. "I ate at the airport."

"Yes already. Sleep away. It's almost 11 in the night."

"I don't know if I can sleep well or not. This is the first time since Edewina was born and I have to be away from her. I will miss our son very much."

"Will I miss you? Or because there is something sweet? " ask Mahira.

"I would miss dong.if only now you are near me, I would have kissed and immediately pulled your nightgown."

Mahira laughs. "Service wasn't enough last night?"

Edmond looked at her with a seductive look. "Where is enough with you? I want more and more. But I liked your style last night. I love it when you take the initiative to tease me. You are mastering the game. Duh, the sense of wanting to fly again to Samarinda at this time."

Mahira laughed again. "A yes, Ed? You will really want to. Nih, Vienna is asleep holding your old t-shirt last night. He was fussy looking for his papa."

"OK, man. What a beautiful dream, baby? Dreamed of me too. I love you. Bye..." pamit Edmond then immediately disembarked his Videocall call that lasted for almost 2 hours.

Mahira put her phone back. He looked at his daughter who was asleep in bed. Should I go? How-to?

Mahira opened her wallet. He has 2 ATM cards that both have a lot of balance because every month Edmond always transfers money in both of his accounts. He also has one card. The new black card was given by Edmond a month ago. Mahira has never used that unlimited card. Since having children, Mahira does not shop.

I gotta get over there. To prove that Monalisa is no longer a bully in our marriage.

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

Mahira got off the airport taxi that had taken her and baby Vienna from the airport to this seven-star hotel.

There is gratitude in Mahira's heart because during the trip from Samarinda to Jakarta, the child slept without the slightest fuss.

From the airport, Mahira had contacted Edmond's cell phone. Edmond's phone is off. That's how Edmond would work. He always forgot the time to call Mahira. On the thing it's 8 p.m.

With a pounding heart, Mahira immediately entered the hotel. He didn't have to ask the receptionist because he knew Edmond's room number when they were Videocall 2 days ago.

Baby Vienna still sleeping in her baby carrier. So Mahira casually pulls her small suitcase into the elevator to get to the 5th floor where Edmond's room is located.

When he got out of the elevator, Mahira went straight to room 5002, as he had seen during Videocall with Edmond.

He stopped in front of the room and rang the bell. But the door was not opened. Mahira picked up her phone and called Edmond. This time the call was connected but Edmond had not yet picked it up. Mahira contacted him again and Edmond finally answered him.

"Darling, sorry, I just finished taking a shower. What's up?" ask Edmond.

"You in the room?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Didn't hear the doorbell?"

"Good door? Meaning what?"

Mahira rang the doorbell again.

"What does doorbell mean?" Edmond sounded confused.

The door to the room is open. A beautiful and tall bule woman came out. He only used a towel robe and his head was also wrapped in a white towel. Looks like she just finished her shower.

Mahira surprised. He looked at the woman with a heart that was beating very fast.

"Eh, i.....!"

"Darling......!"

Mahira looked to the side. Edmond was standing in front of room 5012. The room was almost opposite the room where Mahira was standing now. Mahira was confused. He looked at Edmond and the woman in turn. Edmond only used a white towel wrapped around his waist.

"Sorry." Mahira could finally speak. He immediately turned his back and walked towards Edmond who was also stepping towards them.

"Let's go in!" Edmond. He looked towards room 5002. The woman still stood up and looked at Edmond with a cold gaze.

When Mahira and Edmond were in the room, Edmond closed the door.

"Why come and not tell me? I'll be able to pick you up at the airport" Edmond said, helping Mahira remove the baby carrier. Edmond himself immediately carried Edewina in his arms. "Oh, papi's son. Aren't you fussy on the road?"

"He sleeps on." Mahira moved his body, because his back muscles felt stiff carrying Edewina. "I want to make Edewina food first." Mahira immediately blames the water heating machine and pulls Edewina's food out of the suitcase.

Edewina was already awake and she immediately smiled looking at Edmond. His hand held his face and he laughed.

"Papi's kangen huh? Good to see papi?" Edmond started joking with his daughter. He released Edewina on the bed.

Mahira prepares her son's food without speaking. He wanted to ask about Edmond's room moving in. On the matter of 2 days ago he very clearly saw when they were Videocall, Edmond entered in room 5002.

Who is that girl? Is that Monalisa? Why was he in the room that Edmond was supposed to be in?

"Darling, what's wrong?" Edmond hugged Mahira from behind. He had just been wearing a t-shirt and cloth pants.

Mahira who temporarily stirred up the Viennese baby food, turned her body. He looked at Edmond. "When you were Videocall with me when I arrived in Jakarta, I saw you go into room 5002 instead of 5012."

"really. I just moved into this room yesterday." replied Edmond while getting rid of the children's hair that covered Mahira's face.

"Why move?"

"Because Monalisa doesn't want a room facing the building. He wants a room that faces the sea."

"Oh, so that woman is Monalisa? Great, can you take a shower at the same time? And even better, you want to give up, move rooms so that your ex-boyfriend feels comfortable. I shouldn't have come." Mahira could not help the jealousy in her heart. He pushed Edmond's body a little rough, took the Viennese baby food stand and approached the bed. His son was crying because he was hungry.

Edmond approached Mahira who was sitting on the edge of the bed. Baby Vienna was sitting on a pillow.

"Darling.....!" Edmond held Mahira's shoulder. Mahira shook Edmond's hand. "Don't bother me. Vienna is so hungry."

Edmond relented. He sat on the sofa waiting for Mahira to finish giving Vienna a meal.

When Vienna finished eating, Mahira immediately undressed, leaving her t-shirt inside and diapers alone. "Please take care of Vienna, I want to prepare the bath water."

"Wouldn't it be tomorrow?"

"I don't want my son to sleep with a dirty body." Mahira steps into the bathroom and fills the bathtub with warm water. After that he opened the suitcase and took out a pair of pajamas for Vienna and he immediately took his son to the bathroom.

Edmond stood in front of the bathroom door while occasionally calling out Vienna's name. The girl really likes to shower.

"Have you eaten?" edmond asked after Mahira had finished dressing for Vienna.

"I'm not hungry" Mahira replied in a cold manner. Mahira's heart is very sick. He felt that Monalisa still had a very important meaning in Edmond's heart.

"Darling, you have to eat." Edmond picked up a list of food items in the hotel's restaurant. He chose some kind of food that he knew Mahira would definitely love. He then called the restaurant via a telephone service available in the room.

"I'm gonna take a shower." Mahira handed Edewina into Edmond's arms. He then took the clothes from the suitcase and immediately went to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Mahira could not hold back her tears. He will never show his tears in front of a man. With Teddy alone, Mahira only cries when he and Teddy finish having sex for the first time. The rest, even though he often quarreled with Teddy because Teddy was so eager to invite Mahira to Singapore and Mahira could not because he did not want to leave his own oma.

Now Mahira's heart was opened to Edmond. He even felt that he had truly fallen in love with Edmond. Edmond's sincerity has been fake all along?

"Darling, why is the bath so long? Vienna has cried asking for milk." Edmond knocked on the bathroom door.

"Yes." Yeah." Mahira sped up her bath. After the dress girl, she came out of the bathroom. She was intentionally not wearing a nightgown. Mahira wears a home shirt and knee-length jeans. He did not want the effect of teasing Edmond in a thin nightgown.

Mahira immediately made milk for the Viennese baby, then Edmond who gave his son the milk.

Mahira took her phone. He called someone. "Good night, Chris. Please prepare a flight for me to return to Samarinda. If it's 10 in the morning so I don't rush too much. Ok. Makasi. When it's over, I'll transfer. Bye."

Edmond looked at Mahira. "You're going home tomorrow?"

"Yes. So that I don't disturb your relationship with Monalisa." said Mahira slowly but very emotionally Edmond. Edmond's face looked red. Who's the guy named Chris? He tried not to make a sound because he did not want to disturb Vienna who was enjoying its milk.
