THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

“DADDY, how is mommy?” Edward immediately asked his father when they got closer to him.

Edward’s mother stayed at the hospital first; they didn’t take her home because she was attacked from time to time. Even if she wants to go home, it’s better to be in the hospital so if she gets attacked, the doctors can attend to her immediately.

“She’s fine now, son, but sometimes she’s still being attacked.” He looked at Rossana with a smile. “Hija, it’s good that you’re here.”

“Good morning, sir,” Rossana greeted him.

“Why are you calling me sir, hija? Shouldn’t it be daddy too?”

“Yes, my wife,” Edward agreed, “call him Daddy.”

Rossana would nod because she was still shy of Edward’s father. She had only seen him once.

“Edward son, Rossana hija, came inside to say hello to your mommy, Miranda.”

“Daddy, are you going somewhere? Why are you here outside?”

“No son, your mother was still asleep earlier, so I thought about walking around here first. You know, it’s boring here in the hospital.”

“We’ll be able to return home once mommy recovers. Can we go inside now?”

“Sure, son, maybe your mother is awake now.”

They immediately entered the room. Rossana grabbed Edward’s arm. She was really nervous about how she would deal with his mother because she was like a tiger to her.

Edward held Rossana’s hand. He knows how she feels. “It’s okay, I’m here.” he said.

When they went inside, Edward’s mother was already awake when she saw Rossana. She frowned.

Edward stroked Rossana’s palm to relax her.

“Mommy, how are you? Are you okay? ” Edward asked her mother.

“I am fine now, son, but I felt so weak. And I’m bored here in the hospital. Have I been here for how many weeks or more than a month? ”

“Mommy, get stronger, then we can leave this hospital soon.”

“Son, only the medicines are making me stronger. I don’t want to be here in the hospital anymore. I’m tired.” The lady’s complaint

“Yes, mommy, you can get out of here. Mommy, it’s Rossana!”

“Go—good morning, ma’am,” she was nervous as she greeted her.

“Oh, you found her already, Edward?”

“Yes, mommy I’m so happy that I found her. Now I won’t let her go again. ”

“What do you mean, son?”

“We have something to tell you, daddy, mommy, about me, and Rossana.”

“About what, son?” inquired the father.

“I want to marry Rossana, for real, mommy, daddy, and so I can give the surname Trinidad to our baby.”

“You mean son, we’re going to have a grandson,” said the father happily.

“Yes, daddy. You and mommy, now it’s a grandmother and grandfather!”

The gentleman turned to his wife. “You heard what your son said, Miranda. We will be grandparents soon. Son, this is very good news for me and your mother. Miranda, what can you say? ”

She didn’t answer jer husband question but she shed tears.

“Mommy, why are you crying?”

“Because I’m happy, son.” He looked at Rossana. ” Rossana hija, I’m sorry for what I said to you before. Yes, I’m angry with you because of what you did to my son, but I realized that you might have had a reason for being a proxy bride that day. It’s different when you’re about to die. For all the mistakes you have made, you have to apologize. Again, I’m sorry Rossana, forgive me! ”

Rossana smiled tearfully at what she heard. It means that she’s agree that she and Edward will get married.”You’re right, ma’am. I have a reason, so I accepted Sherry’s offer to me. Ma’am, who am I not to forgive? And I understood you as Edward’s mother. And I’m sorry too what I done.”

“Did she pay you, hija?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Yes, because I needed it the day she talked to me. I have money problems because of my mother and my father. ”

“What happened to your mother and father, hija?”

Rossana looked at them for her this is the time to explain to them what happened and why she became Sherry’s proxy bride.

When her eyes gazed at Edward he smiled and nodded to her. “My mother needs to be operated on as soon as possible. My mother might die if this was not done immediately, so I accepted Sherry’s offer, for the sake of my mother’s life. even if I know what I am doing is wrong. As long as my mother is alive, I will do it and as for my father, he did something wrong. He wanted to help me too, but in the wrong way, so they put him in jail. ”

“My wife, for me, you did the right thing. Because of what you did, I met the woman I will love forever, and now you gave me a family. Thank you, Rossana, for coming into my life all of a sudden, unexpectedly. And I’m sorry too for what I did the first time we met. And understand your father why he did wrong.”

Rossana looked at Edward tearfully. She’s lucky to have a man like him. A man who has everything in his life.

“That’s called destiny, son. Destiny brought Rossana to you.”

“I believe that too, dad.” Edward answer to his father.

“Therefore, before Rossana’s belly becomes bigger, we should set up your marriage as quickly as possible,” suggested his mother.

“Can you walk now, mommy?”

“Of course I can, for my grandson, and your wedding. Oh, where’s my phone?” Suddenly, she looked at her mobile.

“Here!” He handed it to his wife. “What are you going to do, Miranda?”

“I will put on my social media that we now have a grandchild and Edward and Rossana are getting married!” She said happily.

“See my wife, everything is fine now. Mommy is kind. I’m sure you two will get along.”

Rossana hugged Edward. “I love you so much, Edward!”

“I love you, Rossana. I love you forever my wife! ”

Edward’s parents smiled at what they witnessed.

“My wife, I’m so happy. See my mom; she likes you already.”

“Yes, Edward. I’m happy too.”

After they finish visiting Edward mother. Rossana got home to their house, and Edward went to his office to do something.

Rossana talks to her family about what really happened. She didn’t go to Hong Kong like she said, but instead she became Edward’s proxy bride. They understood what she did because they were in a difficult situation then.

After a few days, Edward’s mother was released from the hospital. And Rossana and Edward’s parents have talked about their incoming wedding. They have a simple meal at Rossana’s house.

You can’t see Edward’s mother insult in Rossana’s family. Rather, she was happy to mingle with them.

Sherry finds out that Rossana and Edward are getting married.

“Ahhh! No! No! I will not allow them to get married! ” She snarled with anger every thing she was touched, throwing away and screaming.

Mica also found out that Edward and Rossana was getting married, she was happy for Rossana. She was correct when she said that the two love each other. She called Sherry, knowing she had also found out about Rossana and Edward.

“Hello,” Sherry immediately answered when her mobile rang.

“Hello, Sherry, this is Mica.”

“What do you need?” she asked her with irritation.

“I know, you heard the news about Edward and Rossana getting married.”

“So?”

“Sherry, please, don’t make any trouble for them. Think for the second time that you are the reason why they met again, right?”

Sherry tells Mica what happened at the restaurant that night. She was very drunk and called Mica to express her feelings.

“So, what, Mica?”

Sherry, I’m begging you, let them go. You know in yourself that even if you do something that will ruin their marriage, think of this: Edward is never coming back to you again. He will only hate you more. Don’t force yourself into something you’ll regret, Sherry. Please let them go! They love each other! And one more thing is that they will love each other even more because their first baby is coming. ”

Sherry was speechless at what her friend said. Yes, they’re expecting a child soon, she learned from Edward’s mother’s social media post.

Sherry, why don’t you just look for yourself? Maybe there will be a man who will love you more than Edward loved you before. That’s all I can tell you if you don’t think about what I said. It is up to you, but this is where our friendship ends. I hope you can make the right decision, Sherry. ”

Sherry still had no response.

Bye, Sherry, and take care of yourself.”Remember what I said,” she said as she hung up the phone.

Because of her friend’s advice, Sherry screamed loudly. She threw her mobile against the wall.

Everything went well with Edward and Rossana’s upcoming wedding.

They rushed it while Rossana’s pregnancy was not yet obvious.

Sherry flew to America because she didn’t want to witness the wedding of the two. She realized that her friend Mica was right; even if she messed up their marriage, Edward would never come back to her because of what she did to him.

Al accepts that he is not for Rossana. After all, his best friend will be with her forever. He knows Edward. He is a good person. Only once does he have a crazy attitude like him. He is happy for his friend because he has found true love in a woman he never thought would come into his life.

“Yhesa, is everything okay?” Edward asked his friend because he was taking care of his marriage with Rossana.

“Don’t worry, Edward, everything is going fine. Everything is done on your wedding day.”

“Just make sure, Yhesa, because if not, “I don’t pay you,” Edward joked.

“Hmp, try it and I’ll sue you,” he joked.

“Bro, Yhesa can handle that, he’s just afraid of you,” said Ferry.

“Oh, where’s Al? I thought he’d come here to get measured?” Edward asked his friend.

I called him and he said he was on the way here. Oh, speaking of the devil, there he is, “said Ferry when he saw him entering the shop.

“Sorry guys, I’m late,” he said after arriving.

“You’re just in time, bro. I just finished measuring,” Ferry replied.

“Lover boy, come on, it’s your turn,” said Yhesa here.

“I think I’m not a lover boy, I’m zero,” he replied.

“Even if you are zero, I know you have many women.”

“You know how to gossip, Yhesa.” Al followed his friend.

at Rossana’s house. Because she is sensitive to conception, she stays at their house and does not go with Edward to Yhesa’s shop.

“Mother, has Edward come back yet?”

“My gosh, Rossana, he just left.”

“Mother, I want to see him,” she mumbled.

“Rossana, you always see him.”

“Ah, just call him Mom,” she frowned.

“Oh no, there are so many things that can be conceived. Why Edward, eh?” she said as she pressed the Edward number.

Rossana’s father smiled and shook his head. because his daughter was like a child.

While Edward and Ferry were waiting for Al, they were talking when the phone rang.

“Excuse me, bro, my mother is calling; please allow me to answer.”

“Sure, bro.”

“Hello, mother, why?”

“Oh, Edward, this woman wants to see you now.”

“Why, mother? Please tell her we’re not done here yet. ”

“Edward, you know that your wife, she is constantly seeking for you, she frowned at me now, she asked me to contact you so that you can go home,” she said.

Edward smiled at what his mother-in-law said.

“Alright, I’ll be there now. Please tell her mother not to frown. Our baby may also frown when he comes out. ”

“Yes, I will say, go ahead, Edward, bye.”

“Alright mother, bye,” he answered.

“Bro, I can’t wait for Al to finish. You just have to wait for him. Rossana wants to see me.”

“Sure bro, no problem, we know she’s pregnant. I’m sure bro, your baby will look like you when it comes out,” he said with a smile.

“That’s good bro. We’re handsome, aren’t we? Please just tell the two that I’m ahead. ”

Ferry nodded to his friend. Edward immediately left.

When Edward arrived at Rossana’s house, she greeted him with a hug and even smelled him.

Edward noticed what she was doing and smiled. He is happy with what is happening in his life. He couldn’t ask for anything more.

It is wedding day. Everyone is busy preparing.

“Rossana, this is it for real, we won’t be nervous anymore when we go to church, not like before, I almost fainted from being so nervous,” Mica said with a smile.

Mica and Rossana became friends. because Mica took Rossana’s number to say hello. And here they started to be close. They were close before, but now they are super close. And of course, she’s the bridesmaid like before. And the other bridesmaids were Rossana’s friends at the restaurant where she worked.

Rossana laughed at what she said because even she was nervous that day.

“That’s right, Mica, but now I feel excited, but I still feel a little nervous.”

“I’m so happy for you, Rossana,” she hugged her.

“Sister, you are so beautiful!”

“Thank you, Rosemary,” she hugged her sister.

Edward was already at the church; he was just waiting for the arrival of his bride.

“Woah, I hope no proxy bride will come, but I will see my real bride,” Edward said, because he had a nervous feeling that what happened before might happen again.

“Bro, no worries, your real bride is coming okay, don’t think it’s different again,” Al and Ferry said.

The ringing of the church bell signals the start of the wedding.

“Let’s go inside, bro,” invited Ferry.

“He’s not here yet, bro.”

“They’re coming, bro.”

“Bro, I will not enter the church until I am sure that Rossana is indeed my bride.”

“Okay, let’s wait for them first. I know I have a phobia.”

A few minutes later, his bride arrived.

“Oh, they are here, bro. Maybe you want to approach her and lift her veil so you can be sure it’s Rossana,” said Ferry again.

“Don’t worry, bro; my heart is telling me it’s her.”

“Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go inside now.”

Edward nodded to his friend and they entered the church.

The bridesmaids and others started walking.

When Rossana was at the door of the church, the wedding singer started to sing.

Edward felt like crying with happiness. while looking at his bride approaching him.

When she was in front of him with her father.

“I will entrust Rossana to you, Edward. You will surely love her. In case the love between you fades away, what I want is for you to return her to us properly, okay.

“Don’t be concerned, father; I will never return your dog to you.”Yes, I will love her completely. ”

“Thank you, Edward. Thank you! ” He gave his daughter to Edward.

Rossana and Edward headed to the altar.

“Before we say the word, I do to each other, my wife. I will do it now,” said Edward.

“What do you mean, Edward?”

He didn’t answer, but he knelt in front of her. And he took a small box from his pocket and opened it.

“I remember that I didn’t propose to you yet. I just said we were going to get married. Sorry for that. A lot of things happened to us. So I said, on the day of our wedding, I will propose to you. Today is the day you will become Edward Trinidad’s wife . Thank you for this day. I love you so much. ” He put the ring on her finger. He kissed Rossana’s stomach and hugged her waist.”I love you, too, baby.”

Rossana was moved to tears by what Edward did. He wanted to speak, but no voice came out of her mouth.

You will see tears and smiles from all the people who were there.

“Before we start this wedding, is there anyone who will object?” the father said.

Edward patted Rossana’s palm. and squeezed it as if he was saying that everything is fine, no one would trouble them.

Since no one objected, the priest began the wedding.

They exchanged I dos with each other. They also promised each other that no one would abandon them until they had white hair. And when the priest said they were married,

“Edward Trinidad, you must kiss your bride.”

Edward immediately lifted his wife’s veil.

“Now I really see you as my wife, Rossana Luna Trinidad.”

Rossana also smiled at her husband, and he gave her a long and loving kiss on the lips.

“I love you, my wife, my ex-proxy bride.”

Rossana laughed as she joined her proxy bride. “I love you too, Mr. Edward Trinidad.

On that day, they all happily gathered for Rossana and Edward, as a real married couple.

Rossana and Edward went to Japan, Korea, and Greece. They went to three countries for their honeymoon.

Six months later, Rossana gave birth to their first child. which they named Rowan. Trinidad’s Rowan Luna

Five years later,

While Edward was in his office, he was busy with the papers in front of him.

“Daddy!” shouted boy running inside.

Edward stood up and met his son, picking him up. “How is your day, Rowan?”

“Good, daddy.”

“Where is yours, mommy?”

Rossana went right inside, holding her big stomach.

Smiling, Edward approached his wife after he put his son down on the sofa. “Tired?” He said he also held her stomach and helped her to sit. “Sorry, my wife, if you’re tired.”

“I’m fine, but yes, I’m tired because my stomach is now bigger than Rowan’s when I’m pregnant with him.

“Of course they are twins. Rossana, my wife, thanks you so much! I love you! ”

Rossana smiled at her husband. Her husband has always said those words to her since they married, and Edward says “I love you” to her every day.

“Mommy, daddy, let’s go, I’m hungry,” said their son.

“Yeah, me too. I’m hungry,” said Edward.

“Mommy, I know you’re not hungry like us.”

“Why did you say that, Rowan?” Rossana asked her son with a smile.

“Because you have a big stomach, mommy.”

Rossana and Edward laughed at what their son taught them.

“You are right, my son. But your sister and brother will be hungry; they need to eat too. ”

He nodded and held his mother’s stomach. “Let’s go to eat,” he said.

Edward helped his wife to get up. As they were leaving the building, their son was in the middle of them, holding their hands.

While they were walking, Edward and Rossana looked at their son, then looked at each other and smiled. You can see in their eyes how happy they were. THE END
