THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

WENT Sherry entered her condo unit and she was screaming about what happened on her dinner date with Edward. “Shit! Damn you, Rosana! I hate you! ” She was very angry because her dinner with Edward was ruined, so she went straight to her minibar and picked out a bottle of Blue Label without using a glass and drank straight from the bottle. Earlier in the restaurant, everyone was looking at her. Like they said, the man she was with left her because of a woman who lost consciousness. He can call her coworker to pick her up and bring her to the hospital. But the man is very worried about the woman. You will know it by the expression on his face And the guy just left him. She was constantly sipping alcohol because her mind was on the restaurant scene. She felt ashamed of what happened. “I hate you! I hate you! I will not allow it. I will not allow it. Edward wasn’t going to return to you, Rossana. “No no!” he shouted.

That night, Rossana and Edward felt their love for each other. They reunited once more. The two feel very happy. Because between them, all was settled.

“I love you so much, Mrs. Trinidad,” Edward whispered to Rossana.

Rossana didn’t answer, but she placed a kiss on his lips. And then he hugged it tightly.

Edward smiled at what she did because he knew that even if Rossana didn’t speak, he could feel her pure love for him.

Rossana opened her eyes when she remembered her family.

“What time is it, Edward?” she suddenly asked.

Edward put his watch on the side table.

“Past, one o’clock.”

“What!” Oh, I have to go home. I’m sure they’re worried about me, “she said as she pulled away from Edward’s hug.

She was about to get up when Edward stopped her.

“Rossana, can you come home later when the sun is up?”

“It can’t be, Edward. I don’t want them to worry about me, especially my mother. ”

“Why is your mother, I mean, is your mother?” he corrected.

“Long story, Edward.”

I’m willing to listen, Rossana. No matter how long it takes, it probably won’t take until sunrise, right? ”

Rossana smiled at what he said.

“You want a short story?”

“I’m listening.”

“All right, but… I’m going home first.”She changed.

“You know how to trick me. “I’m going to take you home, but before we go, kiss me first,” he said with a smile.

“As you wish, Mr. Trinidad!” She kissed him on the lips.

So Edward kissed back, and they felt their bodies warm again.

“Hmmm,” Rossana muttered as she moved away from his lips. Edward’s lips trailed.

“That’s enough, Edward. “Maybe something is going to happen again,” she protested.

“That’s okay, our baby’s second baptism. Isn’t it a baby so you can grow up quickly? ” He even kissed Rossana’s stomach.

“Really, please take me home.” But if you don’t want to, I’ll just take a taxi! ”

“Of course we can go now. You have become grumpy. I don’t want it like that. “Smile always so that the baby is always happy.”

“Yes, daddy.”

“Good, baby!”

Because of what they said, they both smiled.

“Come on, Edward.” She got out of bed and dressed.

Edward followed Rossana.

After they got dressed, “Let’s go.

Edward nodded. He took Rossana’s hand and they went out.

at Rossana’s house.

“Father, why aren’t you sleeping yet? What time is it? I’ve been awake many times and you’re still here in the living room. ” Rosemary was going to the bathroom.

“Because your sister isn’t here yet, I’m worried.”

“Father, perhaps there is an event at the hotel, so Sister hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Rosemary, didn’t your sister tell us when she had an occasion in the hotel that she was going to be late to come home?”

“Yes, father, why isn’t she here yet?”

“That’s exactly my question, Rosemary. Why? ”

At that moment, Rossana and Edward reached her place.

“Just stop there at the outpost, Edward.”

“Is your house near here?”

“Yes, just a short walk from here.”

“All right,” he said as he came to a halt in front of the outpost.

Rossana was about to unbuckle her seatbelt when Edward stopped her.

“Let me do that now.” He got out of the car, ran around, opened the door and removed Rossana’s seatbelt.

Rossana smiled at what he did. because even a small thing to do, he won’t let her do.

“Why are you smiling, my wife?”

“Huh? Nothing. ”

“You thought there wasn’t but. There it is! There it is! There is. ”

Because of what he said, Rossana burst out laughing.

“What’s funny?”

“It’s you, eh?” She was still laughing.

“Huh? Why me? ”

“Because what you say, that’s a line in the movie.”

“I know, I just want to make you smile. You know that movie?”

“Of course,” she answered with a smile.

“You laugh so cute, my wife.”

“Hmp! This conversation is enough. You said, “My wife,” but I’m not your wife yet, Mr. Trinidad.

“Because you are my wife soon. Why don’t you want me to call you my wife? ”

“Hmmm, of course I want to. I’m going now. ” She went down, and Edward supported her.

“I’m okay, Mr. Trinidad. You can go home.”

“You think so? Maybe not. Even though your house is close to here, I won’t allow you to walk alone. It’s early in the morning. I’ll take you to your house. Let’s go. ”

Rossana couldn’t do anything because she knew she couldn’t stop him if he said she just nodded at him.

Edward smiled because that was how fast she allowed him to come with her. They walked to where their house was.

“Father, I’ll check my cellphone for a moment. Maybe my sister sent a message and I didn’t read it.”

“Alright Rosemary, maybe your sister texted you.”

When Rossana arrived in front of their house, Oh, I forgot my stuff at the hotel. “I have the house key; how do I get in?”

“Let’s go home again, but there is a light inside. Maybe they are still awake. Maybe they are waiting for you. Knock on the door. ”

Rosemary was about to enter her room when someone knocked on the door.

His father stood up to open the door.

“Father, I’ll open that for sister Rossana,” Rosemary said quickly.

“Oh, okay,” he answered and sat down again.

When no one opened the door, Edward knocked.

“I’m coming, sister,” said Rosemary.

“Who spoke?” Edward asked.

“Rosemary is my sister. Oh, you can go home now, Edward. ”

“Why are you sending me home? Don’t you want them to see me and meet your family?”

“Because our house is small.”

“You’re shy, aren’t you?”

Rossana nodded.

“Don’t be shy, Rossana, that’s not important to me, it’s you.”

Because of their conversation, they did not realize that her sister had opened the door.

“Sister, who is he?” Rosemary asked, looking at Edward.

Rossana could not immediately answer her sister’s question.

“Hi, good morning. I’m Edward Trinidad, and you are.” Edward greeted and introduced himself to the girl.

“Good morning too. I’m Rosemary, sister. Come in first. It’s foggy outside. ”

“Nice meeting you, Rosemary. You are beautiful too,” he said with a smile.

“Same to you, sir. “And thank you,” she replied with a smile.

“Don’t call me sir, Rosemary. Can you just call me brother?”

“Bro—brother? Hmmm. Yes, brother. ” She looked at her sister questioningly.

“Good!”

“Edward, aren’t you going home yet?”

“No, I’m staying here. I want to talk to your family later.”

“Huh? Why—why? She was suddenly nervous.

Rosemary looked at her sister and the man. And she smiled. because she senses something between them.

“Why? You know my answer, go inside now. Your sister is right, it’s foggy. ”

Rossana could do nothing but follow what Edward said.

When they entered, Edward saw Rossana’s father and immediately greeted him.

“Good morning, sir. I’m Edward Trinidad,” he said, and he came to shake his hands.

“Well, it’s the same with you,” he answered, surprised.

“Father, why are you still awake? It’s already morning.” Rossana said.

“I can’t because you are not home yet, so I was worried about you.”

“I’m  home n. Go go ahead and go to sleep.”

“Wait a minute, Rossana, is he your boyfriend?”

Rosemary, go to sleep too. “Father, go to sleep first.” she answered differently.

“Yes, sister, let’s go,” she invited her father. They immediately entered their rooms.

“Where shall we sleep, my wife?” Edward whispered to Rossana.

“Really, you are not going home, Edward?” she asked him.

“Hmmm, no like what I said just now. I want to talk to your family about us.”

“Are you sure, Edward?”

“Yes, I am sure. How about you, my wife? Do you want me to introduce them as your husband? ”

Rossana smiled because he had a husband that fast. “Of course I want to.”

Okay, so where are we going to sleep?”

“In my room you sleep there. I’ll sleep next to my sister. Come so you can rest for a while.” She walked towards the room, and Edward followed.

“I’m sorry, my bed is hard, not like yours.”

“I’m not complaining.”

“Are you okay here?”

“Yes, I’m fine with you.”

Rossana frowned at what he said but ignored it.

He was about to leave when Edward hugged her. Stay with me. You shouldn’t leave me because I’m your guest, right? And what if there is a ghost here? ” He just said “ghost” so that Rossana wouldn’t leave him. And he hugged her so tight.

“Edward, you’re already old. You believe that there is a ghost.” She smiled because he was like a child that his mother would leave alone. ” My bed is so small that it only fits for one person, so my stomach might get stuck.” She thinks she’s overacting too much because her stomach doesn’t have a bulge yet. She can sleep any position if she want.

“That’s not a problem; sleep here on top of me.”

“What? Edward, I’m so heavy!”

“Come on, let’s lie down now.”

Edward lay down sideways first, and he waved his hand to indicate that she was lying in his arms.

Rossana was reluctant. She didn’t want to, but her heart was pounding, so she went to bed.

“See, we fit!”

“Just don’t press my stomach.” Again really she was overacting.

“Yes, I don’t want my first child’s nose to go through the roller. I want like my nose or your nose, isn’t that right?”

Rossana smiled. Yes, her nose was right, but Edward was perfect for a man.

“Let’s sleep now, my wife, so the baby can sleep too.”

Rossana was smiling. He looked at Edward. He couldn’t believe that she was in his arms now and hugging each other. She was smiling brightly. And they sleep soundly.

When the sun rose, the two got up together.

“Good morning, my wife,” Edward greeted her. He was about to kiss her, but she pushed him away while covering her mouth.

“Hmmm, no, I haven’t brushed yet, eh,”

“So I am too. We are the same.”

“Even so, my saliva still tastes spoiled.” She said that because they had just gotten up, she hadn’t yet brushed her teeth.

“Let’s see, I’ll taste it if it spoils!” He hugged her.

“Edward, I’m going to take a shower for a while.” He turned his face away.

But he didn’t listen to her.

Edward held Rossana’s cheek.

“Hmmm! “Hmmm,” she protested, putting her palm to her lips because someone outside his room might hear him.

Not wanting to let Edward go, he removed her hand that was covering her mouth. And without saying a word, he captured her lips.

“Hmmm, you said it tastes like spoil. It just tastes like anchovy,” he joked after kissing her.

“What? You’re terrible, hmp!”

“May I inquire, my wife, what this anchovy is for?”

“It’s delicious, it smells amazing.”

“For me, your lips are like that, delicious and addictive.”

“Hmp, although you shouldn’t compare it to anchovies, it stinks to others!”

Edward laughed at what he said.

“Hmpp, keep laughing!” She loosened her embrace to him.

“My wife was grumpy again. Sorry I used the wrong term. ”

“Hmp!” she answered gruffly.

“Sorry my wife. I love you,” he said softly.

Rossana smiled secretly because of what he said.

“I didn’t think that this man would know how to apologize,” Rossana said to herself.

“Please accept my apologies, my wife!”

“Your apology is acceptable!”

“Now that you’re forgive me, where’s my kiss?”

“This is you want!” She answered, and raising her fist.

“Nope! That hurts, my wife! ” Edward shook his head. “Let’s go outside.”

When they came out, they found Rossana’s parents in the living room, and Edward immediately greeted the two.

“Good morning to all of you!” He greeted them politely.

“Good morning to you too, Edward. Right? ”

“Yes, sir,” he answered.

“Who is he?” asked Rossana’s mother.

“Mother, I’m Edward Trinidad.”

The two frowned at what they heard. “Why do you call me mother? Are you my daughter’s husband?” the lady said.

“It’s almost there, mother, and by the way, I want to talk about me, Rossana.”

The couple looked at what Edward said.

“We talk about what, Edward?”

“Ah, mother, father, do you have your breakfast yet?” Rossana interpreted them.

“Yes, you two should have breakfast first. Whatever you have to say to us Edward, it’s fine later,” said Rossana’s father.

“Just a coffee for me my wife,” said Edward.

Rossana’s parents looked at each other because of what Edward said.

“Edward!” Rossana whispered.

“My wife, why don’t you like it or are you ashamed?”

“It’s not just that you’re too vulgar.”

“This is how I am my wife when I fall in love. I will show everyone how I feel and what is in my heart. ”

Rossana’s parents smiled when they heard from Edward.

“Oh, Rossana, go  make our son-in-law coffee first,” ordered hisather.

“See my wife, your father voted for me.”

“Hmp, how about my mother. You think she will vote for you?”

“Let’s see my wife’s mother. Don’t you want me to be your son-in-law?” Edward asked the lady.

“Who said I don’t want it? If you are important to my daughter, who I am to disagree?” she said with a smile.

“Oh, my wife, you heard that? Mother also wanted to be her son-in-law.”

“Okay, you win, Mr. Trinidad.” She headed to the kitchen to make coffee for him.

“Edward, sit down,” Rossana’s father invited, and he did so immediately.

“What exactly are you going to tell us, Edward?”

“Let’s wait for Rossana first, father.”

“Alright, that’s good.”

Rossana immediately returned. “Here’s your coffee.”

Edward took the cup from her the cup.”Thank you, my wife,” he said.

“Rossana, sit down; Edward has something to say,” said the father.

Rossana sat next to Edward.

“Now, Edward. Please tell us whatever you want us to know.”

“By the way, where is Rosemary?” he asked first.

“They go to school with her brother. They are three siblings.”

“Is that so? What I want to tell you, mother, father, I will ask you for Rossana’s hand.”

“You mean Edward, you and Rossana are getting married?”

“That’s right, father!”

“Edward, Rossana is the one to make a decision. Whatever she decides, we’re agreed.”

Edward patted Rossana’s palm.

“Now Rossana, I’m asking you again, in front of your parents, can you be my wife forever?”

Rossana responded abruptly, tears streaming down her cheeks.”Of course, I hope you will love me and our child forever.”

“My wife, no need to say that yes, I will love you and our kid for the rest of my life. No promises, but I will do it!

Rossana’s mother was moved to tears by what Edward said.

“Are we going to be parents?” the lady said.

“Yes, mother, father. I’m sorry; we just found out that I’m pregnant. I passed out in the restaurant yesterday.

“Fortunately, I was there, and I saw her because I had been looking for her since she left my house.”

“Edward, your mother, she doesn’t like me and she’s angry, isn’t she?”

“My wife, she will like you because you are a good person. By the way, mommy is in the hospital. Let’s visit her and give her a big surprise so that she can recover quickly.”

Rossana knew what Edward was talking about.

Because of what Rossana’s father heard, he was surprised because she told them that she would be going abroad. Then what is Edward talking about?

“Rossana, what does this mean? I thought you went to ab—”

He didn’t finish what he had to say because Rossana immediately interrupted his father.

“Father, we’ll talk later, okay.”

Edward frowned at the conversation between father and daughter.

“What’s the matter, my wife?”

“Later I’ll tell you, Edward, but for now let’s go see your mother first.”

“Okay, it looks like you have a lot to tell me, my wife.”

“I’m going to take a shower first, Edward,” she said.

Rossana was about to stand up when he stopped her. and whispered. “Let’s go home and let’s take a bath together!”

Rossana just opened her eyes to him. Really, this man, he’s in front of her parents, then he said that. But she thought her parents didn’t listen because Edward whispered only. She stood up and went to her room to take her clothes.

When Rossana finished bathing, they immediately said goodbye to her parents. And Edward said that when the mother is released from the hospital, they will discuss the details of their marriage with Rossana. Rossana’s parents agreed.

While they are on the way,”My wife tells me now the story?”

“Oh, that’s because I lied to my father about tell then that going abroad. I know my father won’t agree if I tell the truth. That I’m going to be a proxy bride. ”

“That’s good that you lied to them, because otherwise I would never have seen or met Rossana Luna.” He held her hand while driving with one hand.

Rossana looked at him and said, “My gosh, how gorgeous he looked while driving with one hand. It’s like a scene from a drama she sees. It feels good because she experienced it.

Edward smiled because he knew his wife was looking at him with a smile. They went first to his house so he could change his clothes.

Rossana and Auntie Nena talked for a while while they waited for Edward.

In less than ten minutes, Edward came down, and Rossana immediately said goodbye to Auntie Nena. And they left.

As they approached where Edward’s mother was, Rossana was shaking. Shee knows that she doesn’t want her because of what happened when he became a proxy bride.

Edward could feel it.”My wife, take it easy. Everything will be alright. Trust me! ” He gasped in his palm at the same time.
