THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Survive for Vienna

Edewina had fallen asleep in her papal arms. That's how the little girl gets sick, or the pot is coming. He asked them to sleep with him and embrace him.

Mahira herself was still sitting on the sofa. His mind is in a rage. He needs to talk to someone. Calling the Princess was impossible. Her best friend had just finished giving birth a week ago. Mahira didn't want to make him think. Of course it's not good for his health.

Slowly Mahira left the room. He felt his chest tight.

He headed to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water. Mahira poured the contents in the glass and drank it until it was finished.

After that Mahira stepped towards the side terrace and sat there. He recalled how tense he was when he saw Edmond holding a gun. He never knew it was in Edmond's hands. Indeed Mahira felt deceived by the sweet attitude of Edmond who had been shown by her husband. Is it true that Teddy said that Ed was a mobster? Oh my God, is this marriage a mistake? I even loved him so much.

Mahira's phone in her hand rang. It was from Chris.

"Hallo, Chris."

"Ra, how come you're not at the airport? The princess asked me to pick you up." Chris' voice sounded very worried.

"I'm not leaving, Chris."

"Why? I did hear that the flight was delayed for 2 hours because of rain and storm."

"Yes. Because of the storm so I canceled my trip. Vienna also looks less comfortable to make flights. Sorry to bother you."

"Did something else happen?"'

"No, Chris. I'm doing fine. Please convey to the Princess my apology. I didn't visit him. Hopefully on another occasion?"

"OKs. Yep.....!"

Mahira put her phone on her lap.

"Darling......!"

Mahira did not want to look at the call. He already knows who it is.

Edmond approached then he crouched down in front of Mahira. "Why is it here? Comein! Cold air. It's still drizzling." Edmond touched Mahira's hand but the woman brushed him off.

"Darling.....!" Edmond did not seem desperate. He held Mahira's hand back. No matter how hard Mahira tried to release both hands from Edmond's grasp, he still could not. Edmond could always grab Mahira's hand back and bring her into his grasp.

"Leave me alone, Ed!"

"Ra, please trust me. I didn't betray you! I love you, baby."

Mahira looked at Edmond with a sharp look. "love me? You're...." Mahira's sentence stopped. He wanted to reveal the truth about Monalisa who is still often to mess when they are married. But Mahira did not want to involve Juminten.

"Darling, me and Monalisa....."

"You're still in a relationship, Ed! Back then, when Lerry was so eager to throw them in prison, you were desperately defending Monalisa. What was? Is it because you're so scared that he's going to jail? It's obvious that you're so worried about him."

"It's not like that, Ra. I'm....." Edmond stopped his sentence. He looks confused.

Mahira quickly pulled his hand from Edmond's grasp. He then stood up and intended to leave but Edmond quickly hugged him from behind.

"Dear, don't be like this. You drive me crazy if you ignore me."

"Let go, Ed!"

"I beg you, baby. Don't leave me!"

Mahira let go of Edmond's hand which was coiled around his waist and after that he turned his body. "I'll forgive every mistake you make, Ed. But not with betrayal. All the facts I've met make me sick. And don't blame me if this pain will slowly kill all the love I have for you." Mahira then left Edmond. He returned to the room before Edmond saw his tears falling down his cheeks.

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

I don't know what time Mahira fell asleep, which she must have known it was almost dawn. And it's not known what time Edmond got into the room. This morning Mahira woke up with an all-sick body. Edewina was no longer beside him.

With a quick movement Mahira got out of bed and immediately looked for her son outside. His steps stopped seeing Edmond and Vienna sitting in the living room watching TV. A slightly chatty Vienna enthusiastically tells about his favorite cartoon film. While Edmond looks so patient and attentive listening to the Vienna story.

Didn't Ed go to work?.It's past seven? Inner Mahira.

Not wanting to disturb their pleasure, Mahira chooses to return to the room. He made the bed and took a shower.

Finish changing clothes, room door knocked.

"Get in....!" said Mahira.

"Mrs......!" juminten came in.

"What's up, bi?"

"Master's waiting for breakfast together."

"All right."

Juminten looked at Mahira before stepping away. "Mrs is okay? Madam's face was a little pale."

"I'm fine, bi. Oh yes, please make a note of kitchen materials that have been exhausted. Finish breakfast, I want to go to the store."

"Good, madam."

"Good morning, mami." said Vienna, who was sitting at the dinner table with Edmond.

"Good morning, baby." Mahira approached, then kissed her daughter on the cheek, then sat down beside her daughter while Edmond sat at the head of the table.

"Why don't you kiss papi?" the Vienna question made Mahira flinch. The habits they do at the dinner table turned out to be noticed by his daughter.

"Eh ....!" Mahira glanced at Edmond who was also staring at him.

"Mommy is papi marahan, right? Last morning when Vienna woke up, papi slept on the couch."

Again Mahira could not answer what his son asked. Vienna is a smart girl.

"No dear. Mom and Dad did not fight. Last night I slept on the couch because I didn't shower." Edmond stood up and approached Mahira. "Good morning dear mother." then she kissed Mahira's cheek.

"Good morning, papi." Mahira tried to smile even though her heart was still injured. He wanted to get out of Edmond's life. Vienna is not far from Edmond. Mahira became a dilemma.

Vienna finished her breakfast faster and immediately left the dining table. He invites Lita to accompany him to play a bicycle.

Juminten left the dining room. He wanted to make room for his boss to talk.

"Dear, don't be like this to me. I really can't have you inhabiting me." said Edmond, pleading.

Mahira looked at Edmond. Edmond's face also looked slightly pale and there was a black girth in his eyes. Looks like Edmond's not sleeping.

"You're full of secrets, Ed. I was like marrying a stranger" Mahira said slowly but deeply pierced Edmond. "I feel like this marriage was a mistake. It's like I'm stuck between you and Monalisa. I'll hold on for a little while for Vienna. But I will give Vienna some understanding until she can finally accept my decision to stay away from you. For a while I will remain the mistress of Moreno for Vienna. But I don't want you to touch me anymore. I can't let your hands, lips and other parts of your body touch me at the same time you're also wearing them to touch Monalisa." Mahira stands. "I'll be out for a minute. I need clean air out there that's far from a lie." Mahira took out her wallet which she placed on the living room table. He then called Juminten and asked for a list of kitchen ingredients that he had to buy. Mahira left in the car Edmond gave her a year ago.

He stopped by one of the malls to shop there. After buying all the household items. Mahira also stopped by a cafe to just drink coffee and win himself who was still overwhelmed with turmoil.

"Your?"

Mahira who was daydreaming was surprised to hear the call. He looked on in shock. "Teddy?"

Teddy pulled the chair in front of Mahira and sat down.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes." Yeah." Mahira tried to smile. But Teddy's forehead is wrinkled.

"You have a problem?" ask Teddy gently.

"Is it a problem or not, it's none of your business."

Teddy nodded. "I know that's none of my business. But this heart I can't bear to not care about you."

Mahira's heart was touched. But he immediately brushed it off with a smile. "You're supposed to find another girl for you to seduce. Not me! Because my heart no longer has your name."

"I've tried to be with another girl. But no one can take your place in my heart."

Mahira finished her coffee. "I'll go first!" He stood up but suddenly Mahira felt dizzy. He sat again.

"Ira, are you sick?"

"I feel dizzy." Mahira closed her eyes as she sensed that everything she saw was swirling.

"Yeah....!" Teddy stood up and approached Mahira. But before Mahira opened her eyes, she had already lost her consciousness.

***********

It was late afternoon and Mahira had not returned. Edmond became worried as well as agitated. Moreover, Mahira was left in the room.

Edmond's white phone rang.

"Hallo boss, we found the mistress' car at one of the malls. But the madam wasn't there. We tried to go through all parts of the mall but couldn't find the madam."

"Find my wife. How could the car be there but the guy's not there?"

"Boss, I also got word that Mr. Teddy Warouw had arrived in Samarinda last night."

"What?"

"She stayed at hotel xxx. The hotel was one building with a mall that the mistress was visiting at this time."

Edmond felt that his blood was boiling. His jaw was hardened and his eyes lit up. "Find out the room number."

"Good, boss."

Are you with Teddy now? Don't you go with him Mahira!
