THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Proposal

"Darling, why are you crying?"'Teddy asked as he approached Mahira. He hugged Mahira's innocent body. A few minutes ago, the two had just reached the peak of mutual enjoyment despite the fact that Mahira looked rather in pain.

Mahira looked at Teddy. "Why do we forget ourselves like this?"

"Hey, don't tell me you're sorry for giving up your chastity on me?" Teddy cupped both sides of Mahira's cheeks and forced the girl to look at him. "We've been together for 4 years. We love each other. I can't possibly leave you."

"This is my fertile period. What if I'm pregnant?"

Teddy smiling. "I really want you to get pregnant. So we can get married quickly and you can come with me to Singapore."

"What about Oma Yohana?"

"Darling, you've sacrificed enough to take care of Oma Yohana all this time. You're just his grandson. Om Frans is his son. He was the one responsible for guarding the oma Yohana. You also have to think about your own future. I have a good job in Singapore. There was also my parents' effort. I want to make you the queen of my life. Only thou. I don't want anything else. For over a year, I was tired of going back and forth from Manado-Singapore just because I couldn't stand my longing for you."

Teddy kissed Mahira's lips, then carried the girl in his arms. "I'm happy because you gave yourself a first time for me. You're also my first. I'm going to finish some of my work here, including selling my parents' house. After that we will go to Singapore. Mom and Dad wanted us to get married. They can't wait to have grandchildren."

Mahira flinched from her daydream as her phone rang. That's a message from Edmond.

Mahira, tomorrow afternoon, I'll send you a dress to wear on our application day.

What a beautiful dream, huh? Edmond

Mahira's tears fell while reading the message. Why didn't Teddy send her a message? Why should Edmond now propose to her?

Thank you, brother

After replying to a chat from Edmond, Mahira tried to close her eyes.

***********

Oma Yohana is actually a bit surprised when Mahira says that she will be proposed by Edmond and not Teddy. But he ends up happy too because Mahira is finally getting married.

The ones since the big morning were Maya and Merry. They are constantly asking how Mahira and Edmond can be in a relationship and are getting married. Of course they knew Edmond very well. Because in fact, Edmond was one generation with Maya.

"Why could this ash-upik be with Edmond? Hasn't she been dating Teddy for a long time?" tanya Maya is Edmond's old friend.

"I suspect something is wrong! Teddy has not seen Mahira for several months. Duh, why would I not be willing if Mahira could be the same as Edmond anyway?" Merry looked really upset. In the past, he actually had a crush on Teddy but Teddy actually made up with Mahira. Several times Merry tried to tease Teddy. But the quiet guy did not look at him at all. His love for Mahira is so strong.

Around 4pm, the Princess came to bring her the dress that Edmond had bought for her. A light blue dress.

"So, how am I nervous? I'm afraid they'll find out why I married Edmond."

The princess held the shoulder of her best friend. "I can't possibly say. Edmond would never open his mouth. So you calm down, okay?"

Mahira nodded. Today is Saturday, so both are not in the office.

"Now you take a shower and I'll help you get dressed. I want to shower here too, right? If you go back to my house, you will not have time. You know Edmond's very punctual."

"All right."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Edmond came to Mahira's house accompanied by his Cousin Leon. He looks good in a blue batik shirt. It is very compatible with the dress worn by Mahira.

"Good night Frans and Aunt Wulan. Meet my Edmond Moreno Mahira lover. This is my cousin Leon." Edmond introduced himself and Leon.

"Please sit down, son." said Frans kindly. Oma Yohana frowned. He seemed to know the guy but oma forgot where.

"My intended arrival tonight was to propose to Mahira. I'm sorry that I only came alone with my cousin because my parents are still in Spain. Mama is still in treatment because of illness." Edmond said with his baritone voice and handsome face full of charisma. Maya and Merry are fascinated by him.

"We welcome the goodwill of Edmond's son with pleasure. Although a bit surprised also because as far as we know Mahira's boyfriend is Teddy." said Wulan slightly insinuated Mahira because actually he did not want Mahira to marry this handsome and rich man. Edmond was more suited to marry one of his children.

Frans looked at his wife with a dislike look.

"I know Teddy. We are a college. I liked Mahira before she dated Teddy. But a few months ago, I heard that their relationship had broken up. I tried to contact Mahira, and when Mahira finally accepted my love, I wanted to formalize our relationship immediately. Is that right, baby?" Edmond touched the hand of Mahira sitting beside him. The princess smiled happily seeing how irritated Maya and Merry's faces were.

"If you are already in love and sure, according to om no problem. Your age is also suitable for marriage. So when's the plan?" ask Frans.

"2 weeks, um."

Wulan's surprised. "Two weeks left? Isn't it too soon to get the wedding ready?"

"I'm very busy with my work. So my time is only on that date." Edmond grabbed Mahira's hand. "Tante and om just relax. I will make Mahira queen on our wedding day. There's a WO that will set everything up. Om and aunt do not bother to think about how the show will be. Mahira and I have agreed not to invite many people. The important thing is that we are legitimate in the eyes of God and also the government."

"Om also agreed. The most important thing if you are married. Om well received your proposal, Edmond." Frans said that Wulan looked upset.

Edmond stands. Slowly he pulled Mahira's hand so that the girl also stood up. "In front of all of you, I want to ask Mahira, baby, you want to marry me?"

Mahira's heart feels like it's going to be dislodged. He suddenly thought of Teddy. But when he saw the happy smiling face of Oma Yohana, Mahira nodded.

"Yes, Ed."

Edmond took the ring box from inside his pants pocket. He took out a gold ring with a beautiful white diamond.

Wulan's eyes immediately sparkled. As a woman who likes jewelry, she knows that the ring is very expensive.

Very sweetly, Edmond put the ring on Mahira's ring finger, after which he kissed the back of Mahira's hand in a sensual style.

Oma Yohana immediately clapped her hands without being able to hold back her tears. "May be good until the time. God bless you both, son." He who was sitting on a wheelchair moved his wheelchair to approach Mahira.

"Edmond, love Mahira huh?" abugn.

Edmond's approaching. He crouched in front of the wheelchair of Oma Yohana. "Yes, oma."

Oma Yohana rubbed Edmond's head gently. "Thank you for saving her good name." whispered oma Yohana to make Edmond a little surprised, did Oma Yohana know why she married Mahira?

After the show, they had dinner together. The actual food is specially ordered by. Edmond from a restaurant owned by Leon and his friends.

When they had finished their dinner, Edmond invited Mahira to tell him a story in the garden behind the house. The two sat on a park bench next to each other.

"Tomorrow at noon, I'd like to take you to the boutique to find a wedding dress. Wanna sew the time is near. So we're looking for a dress that's already there. I had to go back to Kalimantan because Monday morning I had an important meeting with investors from abroad. I'll be back next Thursday, 2 days before our wedding. All the papers will be taken care of by the lawyer who is my best friend here. You just calm down. Keep on as usual." Edmond said as he occasionally glanced towards Mahira.

Mahira just nodded.

"Do your oma know why we're married?" edmond asked curious about what Oma Yohana whispered earlier.

"No. Oma's just surprised that I want to marry you and not Teddy."

Edmond chose not to discuss that. "Did Teddy call you?"

"No!"

"Never pick up the phone if he calls you. If you need to change your phone number. Understood?"

Mahira did not answer. He looked at Edmond. Looking for answers to what the man had just said.

"I'm a rather possessive man with what's mine. We're this close to the wedding day. I don't want Teddy to come and cancel this wedding."

Mahira tried to smile. "I can't let you down."

Edmond held Mahira's face. "Don't move. Maya and Merry seemed to be peeping at us." whispered Edmond and unexpectedly he kissed Mahira on the forehead and carried the girl into his arms. Mahira is surprised but cannot rebel because there are Maya and Merry there.
