THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Figuring Out

The kiss did not feel as good as usual. Even Mahira was disgusted at the thought that the lips were also kissing Monalisa.

Mahira is ordinary. Not returning that kiss. He just closed his eyes and both his hands held the edges of the dress he was wearing. Until finally Edmond disavowed the only one-sided kiss. He looked at Mahira who was throwing her gaze somewhere else.

"Don't be like this, Ra. I'm going crazy. Lookatme!" Edmond held Mahira's chin and forced her to look him in the face. Mahira looked into Edmond's eyes and wiped Edmond's kiss on his lips with the back of his hand.

Seeing that, Edmond looked back in emotion.

"Follow me ....!" Edmond immediately pulled Mahira's hand out of the room.

"Vienna herself."

"He's not gonna wake up yet."

"Edmonds! Release!"

Edmond ignored Mahira's request. He then headed to room 5002, ringing the doorbell repeatedly until Monalisa finally opened the door. The woman appears to be calling because her phone is stuck to her cheek.

"I'll call you again, Lerry. This is Edmond and his wife. Bye." Monalisa looked at the couple. "What's wrong?" asked Monalisa with a cold look.

"Explain to my wife what you were doing in my room yesterday morning when the janitor came to clean the room" Edmond said, holding back his emotions.

Monalisa smiling. "Your wife is jealous because of a janitor's report? Can't you explain it? It's a pity that your wife believes in cleaning service more than her own husband." there was a mocking tone in Monalisa's voice that made Mahira look at Edmond sharply.

"Just explain, Monalisa!" edmond looked impatient.

"I just took the file you brought to study it a little bit before the meeting. Is something wrong?" ask Monalisa while holding her side.

"Darling, you've heard it yourself, haven't you?" Edmond looked at Mahira. The woman drew her hand held by Edmond. He then stepped away to return to his room. Mahira was embarrassed by the mocking look of Monalisa.

Edmond followed behind Mahira.

"Darling.....!" Call Edmond.

"Leave me alone!" mahira said slowly without looking at Edmond. He did not want to wake his son.

"Listen to me, baby."

"I want to be alone." Mahira immediately laid her body on the bed and took a pillow to cover her face.

"You're so childish, Ra" said Edmond, then headed to the balcony and closed the door with an annoyed face.

2 Hours later.......

Baby Vienna finally woke up. Mahira saw that Edmond was still sitting on the balcony.

Mahira held the Viennese baby and immediately smiled at the child.

"Mommy's son, good sleep?" mahira asked, trying to hide her sadness.

Baby Vienna makes a special baby sound while jumping around in Mahira's arms.

Shortly after, Edmond came in. Vienna immediately laughed to see Edmond and moved his body forward to reach his papi. Edmond came up and hugged Vienna.

"Papi's son. Are you awake, baby? Duh, it's beautiful." Edmond kissing Vienna cheeks made his daughter laugh with her teeth because of Edmond's jaw that had been overgrown with fine hair.

Mahira also cleaned the Vienna dining area that had not been washed. Until finally he felt that his stomach hurt. Mahira just realized, he has not had lunch on this matter already at 3 pm.

The doorbell rings. Edmond opened. A hotel restaurant waiter pushed a round table. On it were several food places made of ceramics.

"Good fun, sir."

"Thank you." Edmond reached into his pants pocket and gave a 50-thousand piece of money to tip the waiter before he came out.

"Eat, Ra. Your stomach will hurt" said Edmond. His voice has become soft.

Mahira did not make a sound but she ate too because her stomach was hungry. After he finished eating, Edmond gave Vienna to him and Edmond himself ate.

Only the sound of the Viennese baby filled the room. Both of his parents were silent to each other.

"I've booked a ticket for us back to Samarinda tomorrow at 10 a.m. I asked the Australian company to sign the contract tonight" Edmond said.

Mahira still hasn't spoken. He was still confused whether to believe Monalisa's words or not. His heart was still hesitant to believe in Edmond.

"Don't go back to Manado, baby. You're gonna break my heart." Edmond said and sat down next to Mahira. There was Edewina among them.

"It's okay if you don't believe me now. But don't stay away from me." Edmond continued again.

Mahira still doesn't talk. Shortly afterwards a message came in from his phone that he put on the table. Mahira takes her phone and opens a message from an unnamed number.

Ira, I'm sorry if I talked rudely about you. I didn't mean to hurt you by saying that I was the first owner of your body. I was just provoked by Edmond's attitude. Stay away from her, Ra. You don't know who you're marrying. Edmond's not as good as you can see. Please meet with me. I will explain what really happened so that during that one month I disappeared. I didn't mean to leave you, Ra. I really love you. If you have time to meet me, reply to this message. I'll come anytime to see you. Teddy

Mahira was surprised when she read the message. How did Teddy know his number?

"Who's it from, Ra?" edmond asked looking curious when he saw Mahira's surprised face.

"Something happened?"

"Regular chatter between women." If you can lie, then I can too.

Edmond couldn't believe it. He could see that there was something Mahira was hiding.

"I'm gonna take a shower." Mahira puts her phone on the table and she immediately goes to the bathroom.

Edmond's heart was not calm. He took Mahira's hand on the table and opened it. Edmond's surprised. Hp Mahira now uses the code to open. Since when?

"Pa..pa...pa....!" the Viennese voice broke Edmon's daydream.

"Yes, honey? Vienna is hungry, right?"

Baby Vienna jumped up and down as Edmond erected it on the sofa. Vienna is very active.

Shortly after, Mahira had finished her bath. Her hair looks wet. Mahira did shampoo to cool his still hot head. He still wears a bathrobe.

Mahira took her clothes from the suitcase and went back to the bathroom. He would not open his bathrobe in front of Edmond.

In the bathroom, Mahira kept thinking. Does he have to meet Teddy to find out what part of Edmond's past he doesn't know? But, hasn't Edmond been nice to her all this time? Edmond had even shown his sincere love for Vienna on it instead of his flesh and blood. But what if Edmond cheated on her? What if Edmond turns out to be married to him just because he wants to realize the wishes of Rachel's mother who wants to immediately have grandchildren?

Mahira came out of the bathroom. Edmond and Vienna were already on the bed. Baby Vienna seemed to laugh because his papi imitated a variety of animal sounds. Mahira's heart again became hesitant to see how the interaction of two people who do not have blood relations.

"Darling, you want to go?" edmond asked to look at Mahira who was slightly polishing the thin makeup on her face.

"I want to go for a while" said Mahira then stood up from the front of the dresser.

"Where are you going?" edmond asked with a face that was starting to worry.

"I just want to take a short walk to calm my mind. Can you?" tanya Mahira is full of emphasis.

"Can, anyway. But where are you going? How about we go three?"

"May I be alone this time? But if you don't want to keep Vienna, let me go alone with my son."

"Our son, baby. You're hurting my heart every time you mention Vienna with my son's word." Edmond looked sad as he said that word.

"So, I can go right?"'

"Don't go too far, huh? I'm afraid you're lost."

"It's not the first time I've come to Jakarta." Mahira said then immediately took her cellphone on the table and immediately went out of the room.

Once out of the hotel, Mahira tried to look around. And his eyes saw a coffee shop that was not far from it. He soon crossed the road to get there.

Mahira ordered coffee and chose to sit in the corner of the room. He saw his HP. Should I call Teddy? I wonder what he knows about Edmond.

I was at the coffee shop in front of the hotel. I'm waiting for you right now, I don't have much time for 30 minutes.

Mahira finally sent the message. Even though he himself was very afraid.

Before long, a reply came from Teddy. Ok.

Not until 5 minutes, Teddy was seen entering the coffee shop. He looked for Mahira and smiled when he saw that she was in the corner of the room.

Teddy walked over to Mahira and sat down in front of him. He noticed Mahira's order that was in front of him.

"You still like black coffee with cheese bread?" tanya Teddy made Mahira's heart rustle a little. In the past, every time Teddy met him, Mahira always asked to be brought bread filled with cheese. They will enjoy the bread on the terrace next to his house while with a cup of black coffee. Mahira hurriedly threw away those memories.

"Tell me what you want to say! After that I have to leave because it's my son's mealtime soon."

Teddy looked at Mahira. Not like the look earlier that shows a sense of longing but also anger. But the loving gaze of the shady eyes as he showed when they were still together.

"Ira, you know that I love you?"

"Don't talk love, Teddy. You yourself do not know what the word means. You left me while I was......" Mahira's sentence came to a halt as Teddy quickly held his hand.

"Let go of my hand, Teddy!"

"sorry. I just miss you too much. I was looking for you the day before your wedding with Ed. But Edmond told his men to kidnap me and lock me up in a barn."

"What?"
