THE SECRET OF EDMOND'S LOVE
Best Papi

"Come to mess. From tomorrow I have a lot of work. We have to prepare to make a year-end report" Edmond said this morning as he exited the bathroom and Mahira was making her bed.

Last night, they went back to sleep with Edewina.

"I don't want to!" mahira said with her cold attitude.

Edmond took a deep breath. "Then what do you want here? Come with me!"

"No!"

"Mahira!" Edmond seemed to be starting to get emotional.

"I said no yes no! Are you afraid I'm having an affair and getting pregnant again? Please put as many of your men as possible around this house. Put surveillance cameras in every corner of this house to know all my activities." Mahira finished her work. He was about to leave the room but Edmond quickly held back his hand.

"I love you, Ra. Although it hurts to know the fact that you are pregnant, I forgive you. Let's rebuild this marriage relationship well."

Mahira pulled his hand. "As long as you keep thinking that I'm pregnant with someone else, then there's no word of peace between us. As long as you keep hiding your relationship with Monalisa, then don't blame me if the love I have for you will be gone." Mahira then left Edmond alone. Heart hurts. Wounded for betrayal and wounded for being untrustworthy.

"Good morning mom!" Sapa Edewina who is ready with her PAUD uniform.

"Good morning, baby. Ready for school?" mahira then approached her daughter and gave a kiss on the top of Edewina's head.

"Yes. Aunt Lita's ready to take me too."

PAUD school is very close to this house. Edewina and Lita are just walking distance to get there.

Edmond went into the dining room. He was ready with his work shirt.

"Good morning dear papi."

"Good morning, son." Edmond approached Edwina and kissed her son's plump cheeks. "Wina is ready?"

"It has. The milk is over."

"Smart papi's son." Edmond lifted his thumb.

"Bapi, said the mother teacher, we must make a poem about papi. Because soon there's a question of father and son's day."

"His poetry is Vienna?" edmond asked and sat down next to his daughter.

"It has. Aunt Lita wrote it but Vienna memorized it."

"May papi hear?"

"Cannot. Tomorrow in celebration of father and son. Papi and mami are coming, right?"

"What time is the show?" edmond asked, remembering that he had an important meeting tomorrow.

"At 9am."

Edmond thought for a moment. "Can. Papi will be present. What's wrong with Vienna?"

Edewina smiled happily. Mahira's heart grew bigger. Somehow he had to tell Edewina that he wanted to get a divorce from Edmond.

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

The number of children who attend PAUD is 27 children. But there are some children who do not want to poetry.

Now it was Edewina's turn to stand on the stage. She smiled when she saw her mom and dad were there. Mahira was directing her phone to the stage because in Spain opa and Oma Moreno was watching as well.

"But you are the light of my life. I'm happy to have you. You're very kind, always patiently teaching me, and never angry with me. If I cry, papi always comforts me. If I laugh, Papi laughs with me. I am thankful that God gave me such a wonderful papi. I don't want another papi for the rest of my life. Just Edmond Moreno's papi." At the end of his poem, Edewina shed her tears.

Edmond's tears dripped without her being held back. The simple words that Edewina spoke touched her heart. Mahira was also very excited. But he tried not to cry.

"Oh my granddaughter is amazing!" rahel's voice came from across there.

Applause sounded. Edewina ran down the stage and hugged Edmond.

"But I'm so proud of you, son."

Edewina kissed Edmond's cheek. "I love you, papi."

"Love you too my baby."

Mahira pointed her camera at Edmond and Edewina. Rachel who saw him was getting moved. "Oma loves you too, Vienna."

Edewina turned to her mother's phone. "Love you too Oma. Yo te amo!"

After the school event, Edmond decided to go to the company because the guests were already there. Ruth, the new secretary, had called Edmond several times.

But he promised Edewina to return before 7 pm and accompany his daughter to the night market as a gift because Edewina had won the 1st poetry contest.

**********

Edewina was ready with her jeans and Jeans jacket. Her hair was braided in two.

"Mommy, why old papi?" Ask Edewina. He seemed to be getting bored because it was half an hour ago prepared by his mother to leave.

"Wait a little more, baby. Papi must be on his way home."

"Come call papi."

Mahira was forced to contact Edmond. Both Edmond's numbers were inactive.

"Darling, papi's phone could not be reached. How about the mommy who drove Vienna to the night market?"

"No, Vienna wants a papi."

"Bapi may still be a lot of work, son."

"Just Vienna wants papi!"

Mahira hugged her daughter. "alright. Wait a little more."

"But I promised, ma. Papi will come. Papi never lied to Vienna."

Your papi always lies to your mommy, baby. Mahira said in her heart.

At half-nine in the evening, Edewina had fallen asleep on the living room couch. But Edmond didn't come and hasn't called. Mahira called Lerry.

"Edmond has been home since half-six in the afternoon. He said he promised to take Vienna to the night market. He should have arrived at half-eight, right?" Ask Lerry from across.

"He's not there yet, Lerry. I called his phone but it's not active."

"So Edmond said that the phone almost lost power. He forgot to bring the charger because of the rush from his school Vienna."

Mahira overhears her conversation with Lerry. I don't know where Edmond is. Is he with Mona Lisa?

The sound of a car horn coming from outside. Lita immediately ran outside to open the fence.

Mahira peeked out from behind the glass window. But it was not Edmond's car that came in but a police car.

Mahira's eyes immediately widened to see Edmond down from the car with a state of injury. He immediately opened the door.

"Good night. Mrs Moreno?"'ask the cop.

"Yes." Yeah."

"We're dropping off Mr. Moreno. He had an accident earlier. The doctor actually wanted to hold him for hospital treatment but Mr. Moreno forced him to go home."

Mahira was surprised to see the state of Edmond. There were some bruises on his face. Her lips were also injured. At the temple there is a bandage. His hands also looked bruised.

"Ed ....!" Mahira almost cried.

"I feel good. That's why I asked to go home." Edmond tried to smile.

Mahira thanked the police who escorted Edmond. He then led Edmond into the house.

"Pity, Vienna. He must have been waiting for me with disappointment." said Edmond when he saw Vienna asleep on the couch.

"Sit. Or do you want to go straight to the room?" ask Mahira.

"I was here first. Maybe a little more dizziness will go away and I can take Vienna to the night market."

"It's almost 9 o'clock, Ed. The night market closes at 10. You're sick anyway."

Juminten who was told by Lita, came straight to the living room."Duh Gusti, sir. Why did it come to this?" Juminten almost cried.

"Auntie, please take Vienna to his room. Slow down so he doesn't wake up. I'll take Ed to the room to get changed." Mahira helps Edmond to wake up. Edmond wrapped his hands around Mahira's shoulders and the two stepped together into the room.

Once in the room, Mahira immediately prepared warm water in a small baking pan. He also brought a small towel. After that open Edmond's shirt slowly.

"The pants should also be removed, Ed. It's dirty and it's torn."

Edmond who was sitting on the edge of the bed opened his belt.

"Let me just." Mahira said when he saw Edmond seemed to have difficulty opening his belt.

When Mahira unbuttoned Edmond's pants, he felt very stiff because they had never been this close. For a month they have never had sex. Mahira's hand trembled slightly as she lowered the zipper on Edmond's pants and pulled them down after Edmond raised his hips slightly.

Both look very stiff. Edmond who only uses **************** also looks a bit clumsy.

"I cleaned your body first because there was still dry blood in some places" Mahira said then began to take the wet towel and wash it into Edmond's body.

After feeling clean, Mahira took Edmond's clothes and put them on the man.

"Thank you." said Edmond and leaned his back on the headboard.

"What's wrong?" mahira's mark when seeing Edmond grimacing while holding his stomach.

"I'm hungry."

"You haven't eaten yet? I'll grab some food for a while but you better eat something soft because your lips are also sore. I'll make you some porridge?"

"If it doesn't bother you."

Mahira went to the kitchen and made some porridge for Edmond. Lita helped him to stir the porridge while Mahira noticed the medicine that Edmond had brought earlier.

Juminten came out of Edewina's room.

"How's Vienna, bi?" ask Mahira.

"He slept well. But I didn't change her clothes, because I was afraid that Vienna would wake up."

Mahira just nodded. "Edmond's hungry. Because her aunt was hurt, that's why I made porridge. Ripe yet?" mahira's sign to Lita.

"It's the mistress."

Mahira put the porridge in the dish and peeled the eggs that had been boiled. Then he made a warm sweet tea and took it to his room.

Slowly, Mahira feeds Edmond. Both of them were silent without a sound. Mahira's mind rages with guilt. Could Edmond be exhausted so that it ended up being an accident? Edmond always tried to give his best for Vienna. Is it because he thinks that he cannot have children based on the results of the doctor's examination? So he poured all his affection on Vienna? Is it only because of this child that Edmond married me?

After Edmond finished eating, the man immediately laid his body because he felt tired and sleepy. Perhaps also due to the influence of the drug, Edmond finally fell asleep.

***********

In the room of a hospital, Sofia has just helped Monalisa from the bathroom. The woman's face was bruised and her hands were on bandages.

"You rest, Ica."

Monalisa nodded. "Have you seen how Edmond is doing?"

"Edmond has gone home."

"What's? It's a lot of injuries, right?"

"The doctor had him arrested but Edmond forced himself to go home."

Monalisa grunted angrily. "surely she couldn't bear to see the woman for a day. Ah, Sofia, when will Edmond leave that woman?"

"Patience, Ica."

"I'm ill. He should be here with me. Not to go home and be in the woman's arms."

"Edmond loved Edewina. He doesn't love Mahira."

Monalisa leaned her back. He grimaced with the pain in his waist. "I will destroy Mahira. Teddy seems too weak to take Mahira back. I'm the one who has to act to destroy Mahira."

"What are you gonna do?"

"Kill Mahira. Like I killed another."
