THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Misgive

Edmond has returned to East Kalimantan. Monday Mahira as usual entered work. For those who work in banks, they know that Monday is a busy day.

Mahira who served in customer service has been busy with long queues. He tries to concentrate on his job. The princess herself is in the teardrop.

Lunch together, huh? Somebody wants me to talk about it.

Mahira sees a message from the Princess. He lifted his face and looked at the princess. As her best friend looked towards her, Mahira raised her thumb in agreement.

Lunch time finally arrived. Putri and Mahira head to a cafe not far from where they work. And as usual, both of them chose a seat in the corner of the room.

"How was yesterday? Got dresses?" ask the curious princess.

"Can. I actually want a normal dress. If you need to rent it. Edmond wanted a fancy dress. It seems that he does not care about the price. She even bought 2 dresses. To be worn during the blessing and for the reception."

The princess was happy to see it. "He does love you, Mahira."

"Last night I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking, how could Edmond directly agree to marry me? On the other hand, I am no longer holy. It feels less certain, handsome, successful men and rich children want to be with me. How could he not have a girlfriend after 4 years we didn't meet? Maybe she has a partner but she's hiding it from me."

"Listen, Mahira! He loved you a long time ago. Why do you still doubt his sincerity?"

Mahira took a deep breath. "I still hope Teddy will come and take responsibility for me."

"Forget him, baby. He's an irresponsible jerk."

"What if he comes back, Put?"

"He's not coming back. It is possible that in Singapore he already has a lover. Who knows?"

"Have I been too stupid for being so sure that Teddy loved me?" mahira asked while looking ahead. She remembers, this cafe is also where she and Teddy usually have lunch together. When Teddy came from Singapore, he always spent time with Mahira.

"Mahira, don't worry anymore. Your marriage is in sight. Set your heart on living life with Edmond. I can't imagine how excited an office person would be to know that you'd be married to a man as handsome as Edmond." The princess looks enthusiastic.

"Surely they will be confused, Put. They know I'm dating Teddy. But what makes me happy is Oma Yohana's health is getting better. Oma eats a lot. He's even incessantly praying for our wedding to be waged."

The princess touched his best friend's hand. "Oma Yohana is very happy. You should be happy too. Don't think about anything else. After you get married, you'll be out of that house. Oma Yohana will stay with you. Edmond told me, if you're married, then he'll hire a nurse so that Oma Yohana won't be lonely when you go to work. He also noticed the whereabouts of Oma Yohana."

"really?"

"Do you doubt that?"

"He didn't even tell me."

The princess shook her head. "You're jealous of me?"

Mahira surprised. "How could I be jealous of you? Do I like Ed?"

"I'm sure you'll like him. You'll even fall in love with her again. Like the first time Edmond approached you."

"Come, Put. He hasn't even called me since he left last night."

Princess smile. 'You're starting to miss him, aren't you?"

"Ih...what the hell are you?"

Mahira was silent. Is it true that he fell in love with Edmond? Is it true that Edmond was also sincere to marry her?

Let time answer it.

***********

A week before the wedding.....

Mahira had just finished bathing and feeding Oma Yohana. Today is Saturday so Mahira doesn't go to work. His job is every Saturday and week is to keep the oma fulltime. But Mahira never complained. He loved her so much, however.

Maya and Merry almost every day asked. Why did Mahira and Teddy break up, how did Mahira get that handsome, tyrannical Edmond. They do not even know the shame of asking if Mahira has made love with Edmond or not.

As Mahira walks into her room to relieve her tiredness from taking a nap, Mahira's eyes stare at the sitting calendar on her dresser. He did give a sign of his menstrual date not the past after he and Teddy had intercourse.

I'm 3 days late. Wasn't I always on time? Oh, my God, I seem to be really pregnant with Teddy's kid.

Mahira immediately called Princess.

"Put, I'm late for the moon. 3 Days late."

"You're calm, dong. Don't panic like that. You will soon be married."

"This is Teddy's son, Put."

"Well, you still think about that irresponsible man? That's Edmond's son. Put it in your brain and heart."

"I'm scared, Put. What if Teddy comes back?"

"If he has the heart to be with you again, then he will not block your number and block you on all his social media. He won't delete all your photos on Instagram. He just wanted to get you because he thought 4 years of dating without doing anything, he must have lost. Mahira, don't hesitate anymore. Next Saturday you're getting married to Edmond."

Mahira took a deep breath. Everything the Princess said was true. "Thank you, put. Thank you for always comforting and strengthening me. I'll close first, bye..." Mahira closes her conversation with the Princess. He then laid his body. His hand held onto his stomach and spontaneously his hand caressed his own stomach.

Mahira's phone rang again. It was a call from Edmond. Tumben if Edmond calls him. Since the man returned to Kalimantan, he had only once sent a message on Tuesday, reminding Mahira to prepare her letters as her lawyer would take care of the marriage registration at the civil registry office.

"Hallo.....!" Sapa Mahira's.

"what else to do?"

"Just finished bathing and feeding the oma."

"You must be tired, right? Should the nurse I hired to take care of our wedding oma be done I'll just send her to your house tomorrow?"

"Don't. I can still take care of the oma."

"But you may be pregnant. It's not good to be too tired. You also often lift the oma yourself. I'm heavy."

"I'm used to it."

"Mahira, remember yes, do not first check the contents or test your own pregnancy. Wait me. I'll be here Wednesday. Because we haven't had a prewedding photo session yet. The photographer said we could do a prewedding photo on Thursday. Saturday when we get married, the picture's ready."

"Despite having to do a photo session like that?"

"should. So you'll take a leave of absence at the bank starting Thursday. Cut it a week. Because the Thursday after our wedding, I have to get back to work, too."

"OKs. It's up to you, brother "

"Not many thoughts. Everything has been arranged by WO. On Monday, the invitation is over. Who are you going to invite?"

"Just work mates and some college friends first. My family is just my om and my aunt."

"Well, I'll see you on Wednesday, okay?"

Edmond then broke into their conversation. Mahira keeps her phone back with a pillow. ah, Teddy, why do you have me?
