HAVING YOU IS MY DESTINY

I'll Never let go

Kennard vented his anger by slamming whatever was nearby. Both are in empty class.

Edewina who was in front of him could only cry. But he was relieved to have told Ken what happened last night.

"I'm sorry, Ken!"

Ken looked at Edewina. "You're not wrong, Win. I was wrong. I should have married you sooner." Ken took a deep breath. Trying to calm his angry heart. "Whatever you are, I will still love you. I don't care about everything that's going on between you and Reo. I know you did that accidentally." Ken held both hands of Edewina. "We're getting married tomorrow. Whether our parents agree or not, we'll get married tomorrow. I love you, and I won't let you go for any reason."

Edewina hugged Ken while continuing to cry.

"Alright, baby. Let's go to your apartment and talk to your parents. I'll call my parents and ask them to come to your apartment, too."

Edewina nodded. He accepted Ken's hand and the two left the classroom with confidence.

********

The Edewina apartment....

Plaque!

One hard slap Edmond gave Reo and one punch in his stomach.

Mahira is shocked when she sees her husband hitting Reo. Jack who came with Reo also seemed unable to see his son hit. Jack who had been very indulgent Reo certainly did not accept. He wanted to hit Edmond back but Reo looked at his papa while shaking his head. Jack sat down again.

"I know I was wrong. I should have avoided that night. But because I actually liked Edewina a long time ago, I was so late with my feelings. I want to marry Edewina" Reo said while enduring pain in her face and stomach.

"If you really love our child, you shouldn't have ruined it" Mahira said.

"I knew. But...." Reo's sentence was stopped because the apartment door was opened from the outside and Ken and Edewina entered while holding hands. Not yet Mahira spoke, Ken's parents with Teddy also came.

"What the fuck?" mahira asked as she looked at the hand of her son who was in Ken's grasp.

"I'm going to marry Edewina. Whether you agree or not, we're still married" Ken said.

"You guys are crazy, right? You can't get married!" Mahira is hysterical.

"I will take responsibility, Vienna." said Reo holding jealousy in his heart seeing the arrival of Ken and Vienna.

"I will accept Edewina as she is!" ken said as he looked at Reo with a dislike look.

" Edewina could have been pregnant because I didn't use safety that night" Reo said.

Mahira who heard that became panicked. What if Edewina is like her? Immediately pregnant after first contact with Teddy.

"I will accept the child as my own son." said Ken very confidently.

"We're going to marry mommy" Edewina said, clasping Ken's hand

tighter still.

Mahira stood up from her seat. "You can't get married."

"But why? Is it just because of the family's past? What's wrong with our love?" edewina asked deeper.

"Your love is wrong because you're cousins." Mahira can't take it anymore. He knew that Edewina would be stronger to fight for his love.

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became silent. The hands of Edewina and Ken slowly slipped away.

"Se..pu...pu?" tanya Edewina.

"Teddy is your biological father, Vienna." said Edmond slowly because he himself felt the deepest pain when it came to saying that.

Edewina. He covered his mouth with both hands. His eyes were staring at Teddy.

"lih....! This must be a lie, right? It must be your wits to separate us, right?" edewina's question seemed to be getting frustrated.

Edewina threw the photos to the floor. He ran and went into his room.

Kennard looked at his uncle. "Uncle, is Vienna really your son?" ask Ken.

"Yes, Ken. Vienna is the son of uncle and Mahira."

Ken closed his eyes. He was crying in pain that could no longer be said. He immediately left the apartment followed by his parents.

Jack stand. He also invited his son to leave. "Let them solve this problem, Reo. We'll come back later." said Jack. He looked at Edmond. The man nodded. Then they left too.

*********

It had been an hour Edmond, Mahira and Teddy were sitting in the living room of Edewina's apartment. The coffee Edmond made was even gone. But they didn't start the conversation either.

"I'm going to Vienna." Edmond finally stood up.

"I need to talk to him, Ed. I want Vienna to love you both." Mahira said then immediately headed to Edewina's room. He was grateful that the room was not locked from the inside so that he could go straight in.

Edewina was sitting in front of the window of her room. Sometimes his cries are still heard.

"Vienna....!" call Mahira and pull up a chair and sit next to her son. Edewina remained silent. Looking up at his mother, he seemed reluctant.

"Something happened in my mom and dad Teddy's past that caused us to split up. Mami doesn't know that at that time you have grown in your stomach. Papi Edmond came to save your mother's good name and loved you like her own son ever since you were in her belly. Your birth brought joy to the Almond family. They love you very much. You have all the qualities that the Moreno family has. Until finally papa Teddy came. He saved you from the kidnapping. He originally wanted to snatch you from the side of mami. However, when he found out how Papi Edmond loved you so much, he finally relented. He knows that you are everything to Papi Edmond. We also agreed to keep this secret. Every time you try to tell the truth about yourself, you're so afraid that Edmond will get hurt. Until finally God opens your identity in the way of God. You met Ken. I'm sorry mommy, papi and dad Teddy. We didn't mean to keep this from you. We are afraid that if we tell the truth, you will get hurt. Now, Mom put everything in your hands. Whether you will hate us, or continue to love us. We sure love you very much." Mahira kissed his daughter's head and then he went out of the room.

Edewina's tears are flowing again. He remembers his happy childhood. How he was so loved by his opa and oma. How he was so spoiled by papa Edmond. How papa Teddy who never stopped paying attention to him even though he lived in Singapore. Papa Teddy was always there for Edewina. Is it never lack and attention? Even Edewina once felt that Papi Edmond loved him more than his two younger siblings. How could Edewina be angry at them?

Now the question is the fact that he and Ken are cousins. What about their strong love? What about their dreams of living together until death do them part?

Slowly Edewina opened the door of her room. He saw that 3 of his loved ones were there. Still sitting without talking to each other.

"Darling.....!" Edmond stood up to see Edewina coming out of the room. Edewina immediately ran over and hugged Edmond while crying. "I love you, papi. Even though my body doesn't flow Moreno's blood, I'm still proud to be your son, papi."

"Who told you there's no Moreno blood in your body? You forgot when you got shot, whose blood went into your body? Papi's blood, right? You are my son. My favorite son. My first daughter." Edmond let go of his embrace. "You are Moreno's first grandchild. Remember that! Your two sisters, opa and even your uncle and aunt no one should know about this secret. Understood?"

Edewina nodded. He hugged Edmond again and he approached Teddy.

"Father Teddy, I've loved you the same way. Maybe not like my dear to Papi Edmond. But I always loved papa."

Teddy's tears are flowing. He already has 2 children from his wife. But Edewina had a special place in her heart. "Vienna is a special child to papa."

Edewina hugged Teddy. He feels happy. The reality that he only knows now, will not change his love for these 3 loved ones.

"Now, Vienna knows, right? Why we don't want to. Vienna is close to Ken. Your relationship is forbidden. And Edewina had already slept with Reo. Reo wants to take responsibility." Said Edmond.

"I don't want to, pa. I hate Brother Reo. How could I possibly marry her?"

"But Edewina, what if you're pregnant? Reo said he wasn't wearing any security. Could be your fertile date, right? Do not let the story that happened back. Mama doesn't want to." Mahira shook her head.

"Reo from a good family. I checked his profile last night. Even though he is a CEO, he has never been close to any girl other than Indira, who is always considered by Reo as his sister. They were friends since childhood." Said Teddy.

"The chances of me getting pregnant are very small." argued Edewina.

"When did you last have your period?" ask Mahira.

"About 5 days ago."

"That's right. It's your fertile days, Edewina." Mahira looks very worried. Edmond calmed his wife. Teddy looked worried too.
