THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Teddy Figured To Know

Teddy parked the car he rented in front of the whitewashed house. He had obtained Mahira's address from Agus, who was his distant cousin who worked at the hospital.

Teddy heard that Mahira had a miscarriage. Teddy didn't think what the doctor said was true. Mahira is pregnant.

As he was about to open the car door, he saw two women coming out of the house while holding a beautiful daughter. Teddy saw the boy, although it wasn't very clear a few months ago. Finally he decided to follow them.

From afar, Teddy noticed how the little girl was playing and laughing. Teddy smiled at the little girl.

Slowly he approached and pretended to ask Juminten and Lita.

"Good afternoon, sorry to interrupt. Is there a house around here for rent?" ask Teddy kindly.

Juminten and Lita looked at each other.

"We know little, sir. But what we see, around here there is no board that says if the house is rented. But at the end of the road there is a boarding house" said Lita.

"The boarding place? I'll check there later. Could sit here for a while, I'm tired of going around."

"Please!" Juminten pointed to a park bench made of concrete.

Teddy sat down and looked at Edewina who was asking Lita for a drink.

"What a beauty this little girl. What's name?" ask Teddy.

Edewina looked at Teddy. "Edewina."

Teddy's heart trembled at the name. For a moment he remembered the figure of a woman who had become a thorn in the middle of his family. The eyes of this child are also very similar to those of Mahira. As Edewina smiled, Edmond's heart trembled even more as the girl had dimples.

"Name's beautiful. Like the guy." praise Teddy. Then he extended his hand. "Include uncle's name is Teddy."

Vienna welcomed Teddy's hand and shook it tightly. "Greet you uncle."

"Sama-sama Vienna. How old?"

"You're four years old. Aren't bi?" asked Vienna while looking at Juminten.

"Yes. But it's 7 months away." Answer Juminten.

I heard the song selling ice cream.

"Auntie, Vienna wants to eat ice cream."

Juminten looked at Lita. "Auntie doesn't bring money, baby. Lita, you brought money?"

Lita shakes.

"Yes ..., how's dong? Vienna wants ice cream." Vienna is pouting.

"Bang, come here!" Teddy called the ice cream vendor's father. Vienna is happy.

"Uncle want to buy ice cream?" ask Vienna.

"Uncle will buy it for Edewina."

"Horay.....!"

Juminten and Lita looked at each other. They need to be extra careful of new people.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad guy. This kid reminds me of my shit."

"Sorry sir. Madam always told us to be careful with new people" Juminten said.

"That's good. Now there's a child abduction." Teddy understood with both of Edewina's nannies very carefully.

Edewina enjoys her ice cream while continuing to tell stories with Teddy. He was proud to tell me about Edmond.

"My father's name is Edmond. Papi loves me very much.If I sleep, papi will definitely sing a song in Spanish. Papi also taught me how to swim, read and write. Papi is the best."

Teddy had a great time talking to Edewina. The little girl even showed her ability to sing Spanish songs.

From far away, Mahira is very surprised to see Teddy who is with Edwina. His heart of the terrace would be dislodged when he saw Edewina laughing. I don't know what they were talking about that Edewina certainly saw Edewina laughing.

"Devine darling.....!" Mahira approaches. He looked at Teddy sharply.

"Mahira?" Teddy pretended to be surprised.

"Uncle know my mom?" ask Vienna. Juminten and Lita were surprised.

"His mother Vienna and uncle used to study at the same place."

"Oh, the Manado too?" said Lita looks relieved because the person who is with them is known by Mahira.

Teddy nodded. "This is your son? It was only fitting that the first time I saw it, I remembered someone's face. It turns out that Vienna's face reminds me of yours."

Mahira tries to hold back her emotions. He smiles. "Vienna, papi looking for Vienna. Let's go home."

"Eh, uncle Teddy...."

"Other times the uncle came to Vienna's house. Uncle still has work." Teddy cut Mahira's speech.

"alright. Next time uncle has to come?" vienna.

"Surely, Vienna."

"We go first, Ted." said Mahira trying to be ordinary. But when they were just a few steps away, Teddy called Mahira.

"What's wrong?" ask Mahira as she approaches.

"The face of Vienna does not resemble Edmond. Girls will look like their papa's face."

"What do you mean, Teddy?" Mahira asked in a tone she made normal even though her heartbeat was already very fast. He deliberately let Edewina along with Juminten and Lita.

"Vienna could not have been Edmond's son."

"You think I'm a cheap woman who just gave myself up to another man?"

"But if it's calculated by his age."

"Win born prematurely. He had to be treated in an incubator for 2 weeks. If you don't believe me, please go to the hospital where I gave birth." Mahira turned her body. One step he turned again. "Don't disturb life, Ted. I thought you chose to go. You chose to leave me. Whatever the reason behind your attitude is, I will never let you come back to me. Because you alone have thrown away all the love I have for you." Mahira immediately stepped up. He approached his son with a smiling face. He knew what he was doing was a sin. Teddy has every right to know who Vienna is. But Mahira did not want to destroy Vienna's love for Edmond. For even though Edmond had betrayed him, Edmond was a great father to Edewina.

**********

Edmond looked at the photo his men had sent him. His blood immediately boiled to see Mahira in the garden with Teddy.

Not yet had Edmond see another photo suddenly the door of the room was opened.

"Battle......!" Vienna immediately ran and scattered herself into Edmond's arms.

"Papi's son. Where the hell is it?" Edmond hugged his daughter and placed Vienna on her lap. His eyes glanced at Mahira who was opening the wardrobe. Looks like Mahira is going to take a shower.

"From park. I met my mom's friend. His name is uncle Teddy. Good guy. Vienna bought ice cream."

"Oh, huh?" Edmond endured the pain in his heart. "Cock papi not brought ice cream?"

"The fire is big. Buy it yourself."

Edmond kissed the top of Vienna's head. "Now Vienna is taking a bath. Let's get aunt Juminten to bathe Vienna."

"good. But Vienna wants dinner to be fed by papi."

"Ready boss!"

Vienna kissed Edmond on the cheek and then he came down from his papal lap and ran out of the room. When Edmond saw that Vienna was gone, he rushed after Mahira's new steps into the bathroom.

"What do you mean you met Teddy in the park?"

Mahira pulled her hand from Edmond's. "When I got there, Teddy was already playing with Vienna. I don't know how he got to be with them. Please ask aunt Juminten and Lita."

"Mahira, don't drive me crazy by being around Teddy."

"You can be with Monalisa. Then why can't I be friends with another guy?"

"Mahira, I didn't betray you!"

Mahira smiled cynically. "Alright, Ed. If you want to keep cheating on me with Ica, please! I don't care. I'm holding out for Vienna."

"Ra, how can you believe that I'm not with Ica?"

"Who were you with this morning?"

"Together Lerry."

"Then why can Lerry have lunch here?"

"What?"

"I'll never trust you again, Ed!" Mahira immediately went into the bathroom. Edmond's surprised. Lerry's here?
