THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Edmond's First Love

"What's up, kid? How does it look so sad?"

I looked at Mommy who was standing in front of the balcony door. "Your son is heartbroken, mom."

"Oh yeah? Isn't Edmond Moreno a Casanova? How can I be heartbroken. Which girl would break a mommy's heart?" Mommy approached me. He immediately grabbed my face and patted it gently. "Don't be disappointed. Broken one grows a thousand."

"But she's a special girl, mom."

Mommy looked at me with a frown. "That means mommy's son is really in love?"

"First love clapping one hand." I said in a sad tone

"Beautiful?"

"Beauty is relative, mom. I often say beautiful but others say ordinary. She is one of the idol girls in college. Although his appearance was very simple, many men were amazed at him. Her skin was pure white, her hair was black and long, and she loved to smile. I just like him right away just by looking at his picture."

Mommy smiled at me. "So mommy's son is heartbroken?"

"Looks."

"Why not keep chasing? Time to give up."

"She's rejected me four times, mom."

Mommy was shocked to hear the confession. "Oh baby. Don't be sad, will you? If indeed you are dating him, God will someday bring you back."

"Ok, mom."

"Is it because of him until you want to continue your studies in America?"

"That's one of the reasons. My heart aches every time I see him with his girlfriend."

"So she has a boyfriend? You better stay away, Ed. Don't be a guy's girlfriend. Not good."

"What if I keep thinking about it?"

"Then you should try to get it when you get the chance. Maybe even with a little cunning."

"really?"

"That's what your daddy did when he got mommy. Mommy had a boyfriend. But Daddy never stopped chasing mommy. You know, if they already like it then anything they will do. Daddy asked to hire a girl to frame mommy's boyfriend. It turns out that mommy's boyfriend was tempted by the woman and they slept together. Finally mommy made up with your daddy."

"Did mommy not get angry with daddy when she found out what happened?"

"At first yes. Daddy was honest before we got married. However, when mommy thinks again, even though the woman deliberately teases the mommy boyfriend but if the mommy boyfriend is not tempted our relationship will be fine. Mommy forgave Daddy and we got married. Mommy is happy because Daddy can give all his love for mommy. If you're a soul mate, nowhere will you."

I'm nodding. Hugged mommy. I love mommy so much and always try to please her no matter what.

My departure to America made me forget Mahira for a moment. I was immersed in my college assignment and I finally got to know Monalisa. The murder brought me closer to that woman. Monalisa is beautiful. Son of one of the conglomerates in New York even though his own father is Spanish. Being known to Monalisa made me familiar with the black mafia world. I don't know how many times I've done dirty business like gun and drug trafficking. Until finally Lerry invited me to open a business in Kalimantan. I slowly left the black world and ran my own business even though I could not escape the mafia world completely. Monica's sister always asked me to go back to the gun and drug business. That's why I have a phone with a number I never told Mahira. Only Monica knows because the number is connected to all the mafia networks that exist. With that number, the men contacted me.

Staying away from America doesn't make my relationship with Monalisa tenuous. He actually became the crutch of my business with Lerry because Monalisa is a rich man's child. I started thinking about getting serious with Ica but she didn't want to get married. That's why we created a fake marriage status so that people in the company did not denounce us as a couple who gather kebo. Overseas may not be a problem but here it will really be a problem.

The longer I lived with Monalisa, the more I couldn't stand her overly possessive and jealous attitude. I tried to break up with her but Monalisa always threatened me with the death of her ex-husband. I'm afraid that mob will hurt my family.

Until finally, I accidentally met the Princess at the airport in Jakarta. The meeting made me remember my first love. We also exchanged phone numbers.

A year has passed since our meeting. I am back to being preoccupied with my work. There is a burden that feels pressing on my head when I know that mommy has cancer. It's my secret and daddy's because we know that mommy sometimes can't take anything heavy. Especially after my sister Edewina died from hanging herself, mommy became sadder and seemed to have no power whatsoever.

Until finally, one afternoon the Princess called me.

" Hello brother Edmond!" princesses Saya.

"Who is it?" ask me to pretend I don't know the thing I know whose number this is.

"Don't you keep my number? I'm Princess." I sound a little disappointed

"Which daughter?" I want to prank the Princess.

"Princess of her best friend Mahira Amalia Hamarung."

"Oh.I remember. How's Mahira doing?" I asked about Mahira. I don't know why she's the one I remember when Princess called me.

"Mahira is no good. Is discouraged. I think he's going to kill himself."

"He broke up with Teddy."

"Why did you break up?" I'm getting curious. Hasn't their relationship been a long time. I even thought they were getting married.

"Teddy invited Mahira to live in Singapore. But Mahira could not leave his omens. I know what Mahira's background is. Teddy doesn't want to have a long-distance relationship. Finally Teddy left Mahira alone."

"Did he look so sad? I wish I could be there to help her." I was honest when I said that word. Anyway, I haven't really moved on from Mahira yet.

"No one can help him."

"How?"

"Married her to save him."

"meaning?"

"Mahira may be pregnant."

"Why maybe?"

"He hasn't done a test. But she felt that she must be pregnant because when Teddy touched her, she was in fertile period. And if she's pregnant, then she's done."

I was silent for a moment. So Mahira and Teddy's relationship is that deep? And if Mahira is really pregnant, shouldn't I raise the child of the family that destroyed my sister? But Mahira's pregnancy can't realize mommy's desire to soon have grandchildren? Duh, how's this?

"Sister Ed, you're still there, right?" the princess was worried because my voice was no longer heard.

"Daughter, does Mahira want to marry me?" ask me while thinking what if Mahira doesn't love me? What if Teddy comes and takes her back from me?

"Now I'm asking you, would you marry Mahira if she were pregnant?"

"If she wants to be my real wife and learn to forget Teddy, I want to. You know, I loved him a long time ago." I was shocked because that sentence finally came out of my mouth.

"And his son."

"I'll love you like my own son." Again I put out a sentence that does not fit my heart.

"Sister really meant it, right?"

"If Mahira is ready to marry me, tomorrow I come to Manado." Ah, no matter what madness is in my head, I have decided to meet Mahira.

"OKs. I'll talk to Mahira. Tonight, I'll tell brother."

"I will wait with pleasure. Tell Mahira, the old taste is still the same." This time I didn't lie. Hearing Mahira's name alone my heart trembled. Somehow we'll meet, I think I really want to see that girl now.

The question is, what about Monalisa? How did I break up with him?

I kept thinking until I finally called one of my men to follow Monalisa. It just so happens that this week Monalisa and I have always quarreled because of the possessive nature of Monalisa and her emotions are getting out of control. Monalisa even hit a female employee just because she finished the meeting she came home with me because it was so late.

By nightfall, they told me Monalisa was at one of the clubs. He was drinking there. That's Monalisa's custom. Through one of my men who worked with one of the tender bars, Monalisa drink I put stimulant drugs. I actually wanted to put some sleeping pills in but I'm sure Monalisa's a very clever guy so she can figure out what's going on.

After Monalisa started going on, the barmaid brought Monalisa in one of the hotels. There I let Monalisa fuck that tender bar. Cruel? Yes, I am cruel. But this is the only way I can do to escape from Monalisa and be with Mahira.

In the morning, I tried to catch them in the hotel room. Monalisa cried and apologized to me. I pretended to be angry and left him. I went to Manado to prove to Mahira that I seriously wanted to marry her. I followed the way of my papa, acting a little cunning to release Monalisa and get Mahira. The first love of my life.

When I first saw Mahira. I felt my heart stop beating. She's getting prettier in that bank employee uniform. Really, I cannot deny my heart, the girl is still in my heart even though 4 years have passed.

I tried to convince Mahira that I was serious about marrying her. I even called my parents to say I was getting married. I can't wait for that day to come. I even wish Mahira would get pregnant. I'll make Teddy's son my son. I am sure I will accept Mahira with all my love regardless of her past. Let Teddy be hurt when he finds out we're married. At least, I can avenge everything he has done to my brother.
