HAVING YOU IS MY DESTINY

First Love Edewina

Senior High School friend Edewina, has moved to Korea and Edewina wants to call her. But how shocked Vienna when he found out that the recipient of the phone is a man.

"Are you Raise's girlfriend?" ask Vienna in stammering Korean.

"Raise? Nope. You may have the wrong number. This is Ken."

"Oh, sorry. My friend gave me this number. I'm from Indonesia."

"Indonesian? My mother is also Indonesian." said Ken then changed the way he spoke in Indonesian.

"You speak Indonesian?" tanya Vienna pleased.

"Yes. I've even been to Indonesia 6 times."

"Well, it's good to have friends from Korea."

That was the beginning of their meeting. At that time Edwina was only 15 years old and she was in the 1st grade of High School.

They end up chatting often. Send each other a photo and Edewina almost fainted when she saw a photo of Kennard Lim that looks like a Korean artist. Especially when they finally get to Videocall.

Kennard was 4 years older than Edewina. He was very gentle and always made Edewina feel happy when talking to him.

"Do you have a boyfriend, Win?" ask Kennard one day when they're Videocall.

"Have not had."

Kennard smiles. "Nobody likes you at school?"

"much. But somehow every time they approached me, they suddenly retreated. I'm not going out yet."

"Is that so?"

"I actually wanted to date when I was 17."

"When are you going to be 17?"

"Two weeks away."

"Means I have to be patient for another 2 weeks."

"For?"

"To be able to express my love to you."

Edewina's face was red. It even looks wrong. Honestly, he's been in love with Ken. It's just that he doesn't want to ruin their friendship. Although on several occasions, Ken has shown it.

"Win, you're okay, right?" kennard asked, seeing that Edewina was silent.

"Eh yeah.I'm fine." Edewina tried to smile even though she looked a bit stiff.

"I've liked you since the first time I heard your voice. I don't know if there was something that made my heart shake at that moment. Usually I if someone calls and then misconnects, I immediately disconnect the phone. But it's different with you."

"Ken...." Edewina is getting all wrong.

"You don't answer now. Answer it later if you have a birthday. I'll call you at 12 Manado time."

"All right."

Edewina gave way to Videocall's call at the time with a heart of flowers. He went out of the room and met his mother.

"Mommy...!"

Mahira who was making a cake looked at her son who entered the kitchen with a happy face.

"What's up, son?"

"Kennards...."

"Your friend from Seoul, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Will he come here? You've been friends for two years in cyberspace."

"really. We just finished Videocall. And he declared his love to me."

Mahira smiled to see that her daughter looked happy.

"And you accepted it?"

Edewina. "Yet. I told Ken I wanted to date when I was 17. So Ken told me my answer to his love statement later when I turn 17."

"Well, mommy's son is finally gonna have a girlfriend, huh?"

Edewina approached her mother and then wrestled spoiled in her arms.

"Mommy wouldn't be mad if Vienna had a boyfriend?"

"No dear. My mom was young too. Mami understood what her name was in love."

"But angry, isn't he?"

Mahira smiles. "No. Only papi would want Vienna to focus on his school first. Vienna is up in 3rd grade now."

"Yes. Vienna promises, never forget the lesson."

"Good."

"Mommy, if Vienna is a birthday, don't forget to invite papi Teddy?"

Mahira nodded. "Definitely dong dear. Papa Teddy said he was coming. Every Viennese birthday, Papa Teddy's always there."

"OKs. Mommy needs help?"

Vienna kissed Mahira's cheek. "Then will Vienna take a shower?"

Mahira nodded. He stared at his daughter with a worried heart. Edewina will be 17. Should he know the truth? But Mahira has also promised never to tell the truth. Edmond loved Edewina very much. Even Edriges, Edmond's father also greatly spoiled Edewina.

"Darling, how come you're daydreaming? I salute you but you don't return it."

Mahira was surprised to see Edmond who was already in front of him. She hugged her husband and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"Have you come home?" ask Mahira.

"Yes. I came home a little bit early today. Dreaming of what?" edmond asked as he stroked Mahira's cheek.

"I just thought, Edewina will be 17 soon. My son is getting older."

"Kok my son? Our son."

Mahira smiles. "Yes. Our son."

"What if Edewina was 17?" ask Edmond.

"I'm old, dong."

Edmond chuckles. "really. But you're an old mom who stays beautiful, attractive and always seduces me."

"Ed, someone's gonna hear." Mahira looked left and right. There will be a waiter listening.

"Just be wild. That's the truth."

Mahira seemed embarrassed.

"You're still embarrassed when I praise you. We've been married almost 18 years and you're still like that."

"Ed, you want some coffee?" mahira asked to switch their conversation.

Edmond smiled. "Yes, honey. I wanna. But I'll change my clothes first, okay?" Edmond kissed his wife on the forehead and immediately left the kitchen for their room.

********

At 12 midnight, Edewina's phone rang. He who had not yet slept immediately lifted it. Videocall call from Kennard.

The Korean guy was sitting, in front of him was a small HUT cake with the number 17. She sang a happy birthday song in Korean.

"Happy Birthday Edewina Carensia Moreno. May you repeat this 17th year, you will grow. You can graduate from High School with the best grades and attend your favorite university."

"Thank you, Ken."

"I blew this candle to you? But before, please pray for your request."

Edewina closed her eyes. After he opened his eyes again, Ken blew out the candle.

Edewina immediately clapped her hands. The two of them looked at each other with beautiful shining eyes.

"Win, how'd you answer?" kennard asked as the two were silent for a moment.

"What answer?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

Edewina smiled shyly. But finally his head nodded. "I want....!"

"Yes. Sanghae."

Edewina felt her heart blossom.

The next morning, Edewina did not go to school because it was Saturday. Papi Edmond was going to golf with some of his business friends while Mami Mahira was busy preparing for Edewina's birthday party to be held in their yard.

Papi Edmond had actually proposed to be implemented in one of their family hotels. But Edewina did not want because all the family hotels are on the edge of the city so surely his friends who do not have a vehicle can not come.

after all, Edewina likes garden parties. And their yard is wide enough to be a party area.

"Miss, there's a package for you" said Tina, the butler.

"Who are you?" Edewina received the package from Tina's hand and she immediately cheered happily when she saw it was from Kennard. I can't wait for him to open it. And how surprised he was when he saw that the contents were a gold ring with a white diamond.

"Mommy...!" Edewina ran straight into the kitchen.

"Yes darling. What's up?"

Edewina raised her hand and showed her the ring on her ring finger.

"Ring from whom?"

"Kennard Lim."

"Oh...., so you guys....?" Mahira asked while looking at her daughter.

"Official dating. She was Videocall last night and I said yes when she asked me if I wanted to be her boyfriend."

"Duh, my mother's son is in love. But remember ya? The main school."

"OK, mommy. I want to chat Ken first, okay? I'd say the prize has arrived."

Mahira looked at her daughter who ran up the stairs. His heart is happy. May Ken be the man who can bring good change to you, son.
