HAVING YOU IS MY DESTINY

Disparting

The four of them are now sitting in the living room. Almond family house in London. The classic-style house that was Jack's mother's legacy.

Reo just told me about what happened that night. Why he had to trap Edewina through a drink mixed with a little stimulant and sleeping pills. But Reo did not mention Indira at all because he did not want to involve the girl.

"You're sneaky, Reo. Whatever your reason it is something sneaky. How could you lie so easily in front of Vienna's parents, in front of mommy just because you'd love to get Vienna?" Riani stared intently at her son.

"I love Vienna, mom. Vienna is the girl I've wanted to be since. Viennese is the reason why I never wanted to be with another girl."

"But mommy once reminded you, Reo. Don't let your love become an obsession."

"It's not an obsession, mommy. If I'm really obsessed with Vienna, then I can easily get rid of Ken since they're close. Even in such a slippery way that no one knows. I really love Edewina, mom." Said Reo with great earnestness.

"And Vienna, have you been married for a long time, and have you started to like Reo?" ask Riani.

"No!" answer Edewina.

Riani nodded. "Mommy does not want to separate what God has united through marriage. Mommy leave everything to you two. To be sure, however you are married. Therefore for a while, Vienna will remain in the apartment because it is close to the distance of its campus and Reo lives here."

"I don't want to part with Vienna" Reo said unequivocally.

"Reo, this is the best way to punish you for lying to us. And the best way to appease Edewina is for the pain she's been through for your deception."

Reo did not want to part with Edewina. But denying mommy Riani is impossible.

"Mommy will stay here for a while" Edewina said.

"How do I tell you, baby?" ask Jack.

"You're back in Manchester by yourself. I also have to punish you for hiding this from me." replied Riani firmly and did not want to be denied.

"But baby.." whine Jack.

"There's no buts. Come Vienna. Now back to the apartment." Riani stood up and immediately extended her hand to Vienna. The girl greeted him and immediately left with her mother-in-law.

All the way they were silent. Mark's delivering them. Arriving at the apartment, Riani immediately said goodbye to go home because in fact he could not bear to beat up his husband and son.

"I called you yesterday but you were in the bathroom" Ken said when he met Edewina at the campus cafe where they used to hang out.

"I'm sorry I didn't call you back because my mother-in-law came." Edewina didn't want to talk about what happened.

"Oh, is that it?" Ken smiled.

"What's that about?"

"I want to tell you that the registration for students majoring in architects who want to be involved in the mall construction project that we have seen at that time is finally open. I've already entered your name. Sorry, I didn't ask your consent. The test will start the day after."

Edewina smiled happily. This is his dream. The plan of the project owner who wants to involve some architect students in the design of the largest mall to be made in London. Edewina and Ken had seen this discourse a few months ago. Finally after waiting almost a year, the mall will begin work.

"Thank you, Ken. I'll definitely take the test. It would be a great experience if I could get away. Must have signed up a lot huh?"

"much. As of yesterday, there were 432. Only 10 students will be admitted."

"Well, the chances of being able to enter are very small huh?"

"Not really. You are always optimistic about anything. Your spirit will make you succeed. Even if you can't get in yet, it's not your windfall."

Edewina nodded. Ken knows how he is personally.

"Eh, yeah. I've been reading 2 nights for my research."

Ken nodded even though he knew Edewina was lying.

From afar, Reo noticed the two people sitting down laughing. I don't know what they're talking about but Edewina seems happy.

Reo left the compound and immediately returned to his car. He really misses Edewina. He did not sleep last night thinking about his wife. All this time, they had been sleeping in the same room. Reo had even gotten used to hugging Edewina. It seemed that he could not afford a month to part with Vienna.

**********

Adeline arranged a dinner for Edewina.

"Auntie, aren't your days off Saturday and Sunday? Why haven't you left?" edewina asked as she sat in front of the dining table.

"Mr Reo asked me to be here. Sir is afraid the lady will be lonely."

"I used to live alone in my old apartment. If aunt wants to go, just go."

Adeline sat down in front of Edewina. "May I sit here?"

"Can. Come with me to eat." said Vienna.

"I ate, madam. I just want to tell the lady."

"Please."

"about 10? last year, Mr. Reo had just returned from Indonesia. He was happy to tell me about a little girl he met on a plane. The girl who made him fall in love at first sight. Back then, I laughed hearing Mr. Reo's story. Is there a little girl who can make a 19-year-old man fall in love? But it turns out that from year to year, the story of the little girl never disappeared. Mr. Reo always told my father how he saw the little girl growing up from afar. San how his love for that girl just got bigger." Adeline smiled remembering that. "Mr Reo was always excited whenever he told me about the development of the girl. If he had just returned from Indonesia, he would have spent hours sitting in the back garden with my father and Mark. I've never seen Mr. Reo love another girl. All the models, movie stars even some noble princesses who blatantly say that they love Mr. Reo but Mr. Reo's heart is only for the little girl he met on that plane."

Edewina began to look at Adeline's story. Was Reo heartbroken because of that girl?

"Then what happened to that girl?"

"Mr Reo managed to get acquainted with him. Their first photo was in Mr. Reo's workspace and also in his private room. I know, if Mr. Reo wants to, he can make that girl his. But he wants everything to go naturally. Until he finally heard that the girl already had a boyfriend. Mr. Reo was very disappointed. He even cried in front of Mark and his father. He said that if his girlfriend was nice, Mr. Reo would be willing to let go of his love."

"And where is the girl now?"

"The girl's name is Edewina Caresia Moreno."

Edewina. "A..me?"

"Yes, madam. Master has loved Madam since she was 10 years old. He waited faithfully for the mistress. I told my father once, that Mr. Reo would forget the girl but Mr. Reo would never."

"Why?"

"True love will never die and is very difficult to replace. I am not willing to interfere with the matter of the master and mistress, it's just that I feel sorry if the dream of Mr. Reo for 10 years has been in vain. Surely you would never want to marry again if the madam asked for a divorce from him."

Edewina. Adeline's story was a surprise to Edewina. About Reo and his love for Edewina since Vienna was a child.

Come....

What will Edewina do when she knows the truth?

Sorry this chapter is short.

I still stay at the hospital
