THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Splitting Up Is Painful

Lerry and Edmond just finished with a working meeting earlier this month. This is the 2nd month since the shooting.

The Monalisa family accepted the death of their daughter with great sadness. They believe that with the recording Edmond gave that Monalisa locked herself in her house, she got a panic attack and ended up losing her life.

Edmond also stated that he had broken ties with the family and all ties to the mafia. Edmond has also emboldened all his bodyguards except Ifan who became the driver.

Mommy Rachel has not been contacted yet. Edmond even went to Madrid on Christmas. But mommy Rahel actually chose a vacation around Europe with her husband. The fact that he knew that Edmond had been involved in the black mafia world was very painful. Especially with all the events that have affected Edewina.

Drowning himself in his work was Edmond's choice. The company he managed with Lerry is getting more advanced and famous even get an award from the minister of economy as one of the companies whose development is best.

"Secret Edmond, sorry to bother you!" Santi, the company secretary who replaced Angel, stands in front of the door of his room which is indeed unlocked.

"What's up, Santi?"

"There's Mr. Leo. A lawyer from Manado. Said she was Mrs Mahira Moreno's lawyer."

"Please enter!"

Santi allowed the man in his 50s to enter, then he closed the door.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Edmond. Introduce me Leo Worotikan. Your wife's lawyer. Madame Mahira Moreno." Leo shook Edmond's hand before sitting in front of the man.

"What's up, Mr Leo?"

Leo handed me a red file map. "This is a divorce petition file made by your wife. He wants a divorce."

Edmond felt his heart stop beating. A million semblances seemed to pierce his heart and make him unable to move.

"divorce?" edmond's tongue was moody. What he never imagined was happening. When Mahira leaves without saying goodbye to him, when Mahira leaves a message so that Edmond does not pursue her, Edmond thinks that Mahira only needs time to be alone.

"Yes, sir. Mrs Mahira has asked for nothing in the divorce proceedings. He just wanted everything to go smoothly without any obstacles. He also did not want the trial to drag on. Mr. Edmond can be represented by his lawyer no need to come to Manado."

Edmond smiled wryly. Even to see it Mahira did not want to. Is there really no love for her anymore?

"I'm going to Manado. I happen to have a job to do there. The first trial is in 2 weeks, right?"

Leo nodded. "Then I go home. Good afternoon Mr. Edmond."

"Good afternoon, Leo's lawyer."

After the lawyer left, Edmond looked back at the file map containing his divorce papers. Edmond opened sheet by sheet. The main reason Mahira asked for a divorce was because there was no match in their marriage.

Edmond opened his photo gallery. Look at their memories while still living together. Edmond's hand shook at the sight of Edewina's photo. Ah, baby, papi misses you. Why did all this happen and we had to separate?

**********

From afar, Edmond saw the woman he loved so much descend from an angkot. She looks very pretty with a white dress wrapped around her tiny body. Mahira looks thinner than the two not the one before.

From the Princess, Edmond knew that Mahira had worked 2 weeks in a notary office. A smart and great woman like Mahira will definitely not be difficult to get a job.

Edmond got out of his car and hugged Mahira. Edmond. Very homesick. Hence, he came to Manado 3 days after receiving divorce from Mahira.

From the Princess too, Edmond knew that Mahira now lived in a rented house. Tonight, Edmond plans to meet Mahira. He will do anything to quash Mahira's divorce.

In the past, every time he and Mahira came on pilgrimage, Mahira would ask Edmond to buy Carnations.

When Edmond arrived at the night of Oma and read his tombstone, Edmond knew that today was the day of Oma Yohana's death.

"Oma, I'm sorry I failed to look after Mahira until she finally left. My dark past and the way you started our secret marriage made Mahira finally walk away from me. I don't want to be separated from Mahira, Oma. I want to be with him. I'm sure he still loves me. I'm blessed to be with him back." Edmond placed the carnation flower on top of the tomb. He called the tomb guards to clean the grave oma that had begun to be overgrown with grass. After everything was clean, he returned home.

************

Home from work, Mahira stopped by the florist to buy carnations. Today is the anniversary of the death of the oma and she knows her uncle's family is on vacation so no one will visit the grave of Oma other than her.

However, how surprised Mahira when he saw there is a flower of carnation on the tomb and the tomb appears to have been cleaned. Who came here and laid these flowers?

Mahira called the guardian of the tomb and asked.

"A tall and kind-hearted handsome man. I think he's bule. He asked me to clean this tomb and give me a lot of money. He told me that I would always clean this tomb and that he would come to pay me" said the keeper of the tomb.

Bule man? Tall and handsome? Isn't that Edmond? Is edmond here?

I don't know why Mahira's heart trembled when she heard Edmond's name. Did I miss him? God, why does this feeling stop?

Mahira also put the bunganyang under her, side by side with the flowers that Edmond brought. He left the tomb with a troubled heart. There was a desire to meet Edmond. But the other side of his heart forbade him because Mahira wanted to leave Edmond's life.

He took a ride to the house he rented. But how surprised Mahira, when he came down from the angkot and saw there was a white car parked in front of his house. And a handsome man who seemed to be waiting for him, stood while holding his arm and leaning his body on the car door.

"German.....!" mahira unconsciously spoke the name of the man. The two looked at each other. Mahira tried to strengthen her heart. He did not want to run and hug the man. He has to be strong with his decision.

Edmond was also seen trying to suppress the desire of his heart to hug the woman he missed so much. He smiles. "Good afternoon, Ra."

Mahira pressed her bitter-tasting salivary. "Good afternoon."

"I came to visit you."

"Don't I tell you that you don't have to come for the trial?" Mahira stepped past Edmond. He opened the small fence of his house and stepped inside. He also opened the door of his house. He had no idea Edmond was following him.

"What are you doing here? I didn't ask you to come in?" mahira asked, trying to look thin, but Edmond quickly pulled the body of the woman who was still his wife into his arms. He can't hold himself anymore.

"I miss you, baby. Miss you so much. This miss is torturing me so much." Edmond said, drowning his face in Mahira's hair. He really misses.
