HAVING YOU IS MY DESTINY

Proposal

"I knew that Reo was also wrong for not being able to resist touching Edewina. Therefore as his father, I came to propose to Edewina. Reo wants to take responsibility for everything he's done to your son." Jack said the next day they came to Edewina's apartment.

Mahira and Edmond looked at each other. They actually did not want to force Edewina in making her choice of heart. But Mahira's past experience does not want to be repeated again. What if Edewina is pregnant?

Reo looks good. As Teddy said. The man also claimed to have loved Edewina for a long time but he never expressed his feelings because Edewina had been dating Ken.

"We....."

The doorbell of the apartment sounded. Mahira opened the door. He was surprised to see who was coming.

"Papa?"

Edriges, Edmond's father is coming. The man is now in a wheelchair because he had a stroke a few months ago.

Edriges was pushed in by his nurse, Tobby. She is a Spanish nurse. A 30-year-old man hired by Edmond to take care of his papa.

"What's this about? Who're they?" edriges asked and got off his wheelchair. He can walk if it is short.

"They're Almonds, pa. They came to propose to Edewina" Edmond said.

"Oh.Eventually God listened to my prayer. I've wanted to see my granddaughter get married. But isn't Edewina 19? And she really loved her education?" Edriges frowned.

"Look, pa." Edmond was confused as to how to explain it.

"Edewina can continue her studies if we are married. I would never forbid Edewina to go to college. It's just, I want to immediately formalize our relationship because I love Vienna so much and I don't want Vienna to be taken by anyone else. Vienna is beautiful, smart and very famous on campus. He's been the target of a lot of men." Reo finally ventured to speak.

"Waw, you're a possessive man too huh? I like that. But, as far as I'm a Viennese Korean boyfriend." Edriges thought again.

"They've been broken up a long time, pa." Mahira.

Edriges looked at Reo. "You're never gonna hurt my granddaughter, are you?"

"How could I hurt a woman I love so much?"

Edriges smiled. "Call Edewina. Why isn't he here?"

Mahira headed to her daughter's room.

"Opa is outside. And we didn't tell you about the problem that happened to you. Opa has already seen Reo and his family."

"What?"

Edewina. He immediately combed his hair and washed his face and immediately went out of the room.

"Dear girl, why stay in the room? Isn't your future husband here?"

"Eh, i...."

"Dear girl. This Opa is sickly. The last thing you want to see is you're getting married. Opa knows that you're young. Still want to go to college. Getting married young is okay. Later if you already have children, opa will come here and take care of the great-grandson opa so you do not have trouble dividing time between college and taking care of children."

Edewina looked at her happy-looking face. Should he fade the light in his eyes? Edewina loved the opa Edriges. Since childhood, he often sleeps next to his eyes. Especially when the oma is dead. How could Edewina let him down?

Edriges approached his grandson. Holding Viennese hands and stroking them gently.

"Of course you can love." He looked at Reo. "So young man, when is the plan for you to marry my granddaughter?"

"As soon as possible. If it could be the end of this month." said Reo made Edewina surprised.

"I. it's too fast. So, 3 weeks left?" ask Edewina.

Mahira would protest as well but when she remembered that Edewina might be pregnant, she nodded in agreement. "Mommy thinks the end of the month is the best time."

"Young man, you have a lot of money to prepare a wedding in 3 weeks? You're going to marry the daughter of Moreno's family. If you don't have money, I don't want to give up my granddaughter to you." Edriges said, making Jack almost laugh because the old man didn't seem to know the Almonds.

"I'm ready." said Reo. Buying a car for 6 M only for Edewina I can, let alone preparing for our wedding?

Jack and Reo go home and invite the Moreno family to dinner together at the Almond family's home outside London. It was the summer home of the Almond family. It's only about 40 minutes from Edewina's apartment.

"It's good to bring Edewina opa here, dad. But how did daddy know that Edriges' opa had such an effect on Edewina?" ask Reo on the way home.

"Daddy actually worked with the Moreno company in Spain which is now managed by Edmond's sister. At that time Edriges was still healthy and he always told me about his grandson. Ever since you said you were in love with Edewina, daddy actually investigated about the girl without your knowledge. And Daddy knew how much opa had for Edewina. Hence, Daddy sent word to Edriges that Edewina was getting married and of course he came straight away. Even though her acting was really good because she didn't seem to know what was going on."

"Thanks, dad."

"Then, how are we gonna tell mommy?"

"Don't tell me your problem was intentionally screwing Edewina to get her to marry you. Just tell him you managed to lure him. Because if Riani Almond finds out you did a sneaky trick, she'll be the first to free Edewina from this marriage."

Reo laughing. Of course he knew how his mother was.

"ppa? Are you getting married later this month? Who is that girl? Why doesn't mommy ever know?" riani asked in surprise when she heard her son's confession.

"Mom, calm down. Let's sit down." Reo took his mother to sit down.

Riani looked at Jack. "You must know this plan, don't you, Jack? And you're hiding from me?"

"Listen to me, baby ..." Jack looked at his wife. "Reo asked me to accompany him to propose to the girl. He made sure first whether the girl would accept it or not. Because that girl is only 19."

Riani surprised. "Reo, isn't that too young for you?"

"Mommy is the same as daddy, the difference is almost 9 years. Just like me and Edewina." Said Reo.

"Edewine? Where did Mommy ever hear that name? The edewina? Oh, isn't that the name of the girl you mentioned when you had a fever? She's the first Indonesian, right? Are you guys dating?" Riani was curious.

"Mom, calm down." Reo grabbed Riani's hand and grasped it tightly. "I told my mommy once that I liked a little girl I met on a plane. She's the girl."

"Reo, it's been a long time? Mommy says love can't be an obsession. That's not good. Did you force her to marry you? Did you use that mafia network violence? You've stopped connecting with them, haven't you?" Riani glared towards her son.

"Mommy, I don't use violence. The girl comes from a good family. His family also agreed. I wanted to marry her quickly because I was afraid she would change her mind. She is beautiful, smart and famous in her college. Mommy knows there must be a lot of guys after her."

"Did he want to be like you who are old?"

"Mommy, who says I'm old? Means mommy wants also dong same old daddy."

Riani looked at Jack. "We got married when Mommy was 25. We are both adults."

"It's still 9 years different."

Jack looked at Riani. "His name is also love. Is it, baby? Not looking at age."

"Duh, don't tell me about daddy and mommy just yet. Now my problem. Mommy would like to welcome them tomorrow? Cuisine Indonesian cuisine so that they know that the nuances of Indonesia are also in our house. Next we will prepare for the wedding later this month" Reo said with a smile.

"The end of this month? Reo, why so fast? That girl isn't pregnant, is she?" Riani looked at her son full of probes.

"Mommy, her parents are here. Mommy knows she has a residence permit. That's why it has to be made as quickly as possible."

Riani nodded. Suddenly his face turned sad.

"What's up, mom?" ask Reo.

"What about Indira? That girl must be sad when she finds out you're getting married to someone else. Mommy feels like she really loves you, son." Riani said sadly.

"We're just friends, mom. Befriended. Now, I'm going to the office first, okay? There's some work I need to finish." Pamit Reo's.

*********

After the meeting, Reo asks Mark to prepare coffee for her. He was tired of this heart.

"Sir, there's a guest waiting for you" said Bianca, Reo's secretary.

"Who?"

"Me!"

Reo turned his body. "Edewina?" The man immediately smiled happily. "Let's go into my room. Oh yeah Bianca, I don't want to take any calls, guests or interruptions. Ok?" reo said before opening the door.
