THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

AL meets auntie Nena in the garage when he is about to enter the house.

“Good afternoon, auntie,” he greeted.

“Well, it’s the same for you, sir Al, but Sir Edward just left. Didn’t you see him outside?” The lady replied to Al.

“I saw him Auntie. I even said goodbye to him and informed him that I would be here.”

“Huh? What did you inform, sir, Al? ” Auntie Nena asked in surprise, but when she looked at the flower she was holding, she knew.

Al smiled at the lady’s answer.

“Where is Rossana, auntie?”

“Sir, Al, don’t tell me you’re going to court, Rossana.”

“You’re right, Auntie.”

“Sir, Al, you know that Rossana is married, you’re still courting her, and Sir Edward is still your friend.”

Well, if that’s what you believe, auntie, I can’t say anything. Can I go inside the house so I can talk to Rossana?

“Oh okay sir, I’ll call her. Maybe she’s in their room.” They entered the house together.

At that moment, Edward couldn’t get out of his house. He started the car’s engine and then he turned it off.

“Ahhh, I need to do something. I won’t allow Rossana to be without him.” He decided not to attend his meeting. He grabbed his cellphone that was in his pants pocket and called his secretary.

“Hello, good afternoon? “Trinidad Holding Company,” a woman answered.

“Hello, this is Edward.”

“Sir, do you have something to say?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Yes, cancel all my meetings today.”

“But sir, you have an important meeting today. You’re not at the restaurant where the investors are already, sir.”

“No, cancel it!”

“But, sir,” she protested.

“I said cancel right, I have something more important to do than that meeting.”

“Sir, you will lose millions if you miss it.”

“I don’t care, I’ll lose a million more if she’s the one I lose in my life,” he said as he turned off his cell phone. Yeah, he said, was right, because when his wife was not with him, he lost more. He admitted he felt in love with his wife just like that. And that he felt this way suddenly and only now, like he wanted to kill someone because he was jealous.

As he turned to look at his home, jealously or rage affected his vanity. Edward thinks to himself, “Damnit! What is this? I’ve never felt like this before. Even though I saw a man chatting to my girlfriend previously, I didn’t feel what I do now. Edward, you truly fell hard to your proxy bride.”

Edward looked back at his house now. He fully admitted that he really fell for his wife because of the jealousy he felt.

When Al and Auntie Nena entered, it’s right that Rossana came down.

“Oh, there’s Rossana, sir Al.”

Al greeted her with a smile. “Good afternoon to you, Rossana, for you.” He reached for the flower in his hand.

Rossana reached for the flower with surprise. “Al, what does this mean?” she asked.

“You two sit down first. I’ll get you something to drink, sir. Al. Would you like coffee or juice? ”

“Just juice, Auntie Nena, and thank you.”

“How about you, Rossana, what do you want?”

“No auntie Nena, I’m not thirsty.”

“Alright, I’ll leave you guys for now.”

They both nodded to the lady.

Edward got out of his car and hurriedly went inside. He went around the garden. He entered the big sliding door. He hid in a big base so that Rosana and Al wouldn’t see him. He would come closer to them later. He cursed himself. What is he doing? It’s his own house. He’s like a thief. Was going to steal something what he’s doing now?

“Al, why?” You know I’m married, don’t you? “It’s not nice to see you doing this,” Rossana said immediately, knowing she meant the flower he gave her.

“Rossana, I know.”

“You know, what are you doing?” To be honest, she felt a little annoyed with the man.

“Okay, listen to me carefully.” Al looked at her first to assure her that she would listen to what he said.”Before I start my plan to court you, Rossana, of course I want to be clear about everything. Before I came here, I went to the NSO first to look at your marriage contract with Edward.”

Edward clenched his fist at what he heard. His friend really wanted to court his wife. And he thinks Al is really fall in love to Rossana. He knows him if he is a womanizer, and Al is more than that. And among their friends, the word “courting” a woman is not in their style, even if they are attracted to a woman. Now Al has been struck by Cupid’s arrow, which has done the same to him with one woman. But he was ahead of Al because Rossana was already married to him this is good thing.

Rossana frowned upon hearing, “W—why did you do that, Al?”

“I don’t know, it’s like someone pushed me to do this. Do you know what I found, Rossana? ”

Rossana felt nervous about what Al would say. As well as Edward listening to them.

“What, Al?”

“That you are free. What I mean is, you and Edward do not have a marriage contract recorded in the NSO. Your marriage is fake, Rossana. It is not valid.”

Rossan was shocked by what Al said to her. She couldn’t believe why because she signed their marriage contract. “Wh… what? But we signed! How did that happen?” Her voice was shaking.

Al frowned because of her reaction. “Why don’t you seem to want to be free from Edward, Rossana? Do you love him already?”

Edward felt eager to hear Rossana’s answer to Al’s question.

Rossana did not answer, but her tears flowed.

“You know, Rossana, that’s why your marriage contract with Edward is not registered. Maybe his mother put it on hold. Well, a blessing in disguise, right? You are free. ”

Edward clenched his fists, feeling angry at his mother at that moment. He slowly walked away from where he was hiding and went out of the house. He didn’t want to hear what Rossana would say to Al if she loved him already. He needs to talk to her mother first. He immediately got into his car and drove it quickly towards his parents’ house.

“I hate you, mommy, I hate what you did!” he said as he drove, as if his chest would burst with anger at that moment. “Ahhh, damnit!” His hand was hitting the steering wheel of the car in the gust of anger he felt.

“Rosanna, what are your plans now? Can you leave, Edward?”

“I don’t know, I’m confused. Maybe you were wrong about what you found out, Al.”

“I’m not, Rossana. They dug through all the files there. Also, your marriage contract is new, so it’s easy to find. ”

Auntie Nena, who was far away from them, was listening to their conversation.

“It’s so sad, sir, mother’s behavior is so bad; I already know Edward loves Rossana; I can see it in his movements and gaze.”

“Rossana, get out of here. There’s no reason for you to stay at Edward’s house. Go home to your parents. Don’t you want to be with them?”

Rossana just nodded as if no voice wanted to come out of her throat. So this is right. Isn’t this what he wants to be with the family? But why did she feel so heavy on her chest?

“Remember this, Rossana; if you are in Edward’s heart already, he’ll find a way for you to meet again or be together. I know him; if something or someone is important to him, he’ll do everything to make him mine, and let him make an effort with you.”

Rossana realized what Al had said. “You’re right, Al, there’s no reason for me to stay here.”

“So, pack your things; I’ll bring you home.”

“I’ll wait for Edward first, Al. I’ll say goodbye because this is his house.”

“Alright, let’s wait for him to come home.”

“Don’t worry, Al, I know you have work. I’ll just take a taxi home.”

“No, it’s okay, Rossana, I’ll take you to your place so you can get home faster.”

“Al, please, don’t,” Rossana begged him, because at this moment she wanted to be alone.

Okay, if that’s what you want, fine, I need to go now, but if you change your mind, just give me a call and I’ll come. All grabbed the wallet and took out his calling card, then gave it to Rossana. “Call me okay.”

“Alright, Al, thanks.”

“I’m leaving.” He stood up.

Rossana also stood up, and they walked to the door.

“Be careful when you drive,” said Rossana.

“Yes, I will and thank you for reminding me, Rossana,” he said with a smile.

When Al was gone, Rossana leaned against the door and the tears she had been holding back started to fall.

When Edward arrived at his parents’ house, he quickly got out of the car without turning off the engine.

“Good afternoon, sir Edward,” said the maid who helped him open the door.

But he ignored it. “MOMMY!” Edward shouted when he got inside. “Where’s Mommy?” he asked the maid.

“Sir, she must be in their room.”

He quickly climbed the stairs to his mother’s room.

When he got upstairs, Edward knocked loudly on the door. “Mommy, open the door!” Since the mother had not opened the door for a long time, she knocked on it again and again.

“Mommy, open the door!” He screamed.

“Oh, why is sir Edward so mad at his mother?” said a maid to a companion.

“That witch must have done something that Sir Edward didn’t like.”

“You’re right, that’s how he is when he’s angry. What did the witch mother do?”

“He and his mother are going to war; it’s good for her.”

“Hey, you two, get out of here now. Maybe Ma’am will see you here she will scolding us,” said another of them, and they left the living room in a hurry.

“Edward, what happened to you? You knocking, it’s like you’re going to tear the door apart,” his mother opened the door.

“What did you do, Mommy?” he asked rather politely.

“Go inside first, Edward.”

“No need, mommy, just answer me!”

“What are you talking about, Edward, clarify?”

“Mommy, why did you tamper with my marriage contract with Rossana?”

“Oh, that’s right, I interfered with it, because that bitch woman doesn’t deserve you, son.”

“Who told you that, mommy? You are wrong. ”

“What do you mean, Edward?”

“Rossana is the right woman for me and a good wife.”

“Common my son, you don’t know her yet, for you to say that. What if she was just being nice so that you fell in love with her right away? Then do something bad, huh? ”

“You are wrong mommy. I know my heart and my soul are telling me that she is the woman I want to be with forever.”

The lady stared at her son because of what she heard from him. “Wh-what? Son, are you serious about what you said?”

“Yes, mommy. Where is our marriage contract?”

“I-I tore it,” she said hesitantly.

“What? Mommy, why did you do that?!” Edward couldn’t stop himself from yelling at his mother.

“Edward, you’re yelling at me! I’m your mother!” She started to get angry.

“I’m sorry, mommy, but you gave me a reason to yell at you. You know what mommy, I’m so angry with you. Maybe if you are not my mother, maybe I can hurt you!”

“What! Because of that woman, you can be angry with me, Edward! Shame on yourself! ”

“Yes, because of what you did, mommy, I no longer have the right to her. I don’t want her to disappear from my life. Mommy, I don’t want to!” Edward looked like he was about to cry as he said this.

“Do you love her, son?”

“Yes, mommy. I do love her already, but because of what you did, I could lose her! Because I have nothing to hold onto her. ”

She was speechless at what her son said.

Edward left his mother without saying goodbye.

The lady was still speechless just looking at her son walking away.

While he was driving, he called Yhesa.

“Hello!” said the person on the other line.

“Hello, Yhesa. Let’s meet at our old meeting place.”

“Why do you have a problem, Edward?”

“Just come, Yhesa, please. I need someone to talk to me right now!” Edward voice was full of sadness.

“Okay, I’ll be there. Bye.”

He got in into his car just right when he call him because he was going to meet client, but he seemed to be having a problem, so he would see him first.
