HAVING YOU IS MY DESTINY

The struggle of Ken and Edewina

In some places, with different cultures and customs, marrying a cousin is common. But in some places it is also considered something wrong. Especially from medical science, marrying a person who still has blood relations with us can make the congenital disease decrease in children who will be born.

This is in my opinion based on some of the things I learned. I don't know what the readers think.

"What's wrong?" ken asked as he clasped Edewina's hand sitting next to him.

"Ken, what if my parents don't like your family? I feel like there's something they're hiding."

"We're gonna fight for our love, baby. My mom and dad were weird last night, too. Asking me to immediately break up with you. But they themselves do not explain why."

Edewina laid her head on Ken's shoulder. "We have to be strong to keep our love, Ken."

Ken squeezed the hand of Edewina in his hand. "Of course, honey. I will fight anything for the wholeness of our love."

"If it turns out they're still against it?"

"I had to marry you secretly."

Edewina lifted her head and looked at Ken. "We eloped?"

"Not eloped, baby. We'll get married in secret and when we're official then we'll tell them. I'm sure they won't ban us again. You want to, right?"

Edewina nodded. He immediately embraced Ken with all the love he had for the man. The gentle Ken, the kind Ken. Ken who respects the principle of Edwina's life who does not want to have sex before they get married. What else should Edewina doubt?

Reo clenched his hands hearing the conversation of the lovers. His heart became hot at how strong the bond of love between them was.

Without Edewina knowing, Reo asked his men to install a camera outside the Edewina Ferrari. It just so happened that the car was parked right in front of where they were sitting. Of course, it was very clear to see and hear the conversation between them.

Mark enters Reo's unlocked room. When the 37-year-old man entered, he immediately closed the door.

"Boss, Mr. Teddy Kandow had already done a DNA test when Edewina was 5 years old. As a result, Edewina was Teddy Kandow's son. It seems like they kept this a secret to Edewina by mutual consent in the past. Teddy and Edewina's relationship remained intimate but Edewina knew that she was Moreno's blood."

"really? Is this data reliable?"

Mark handed over some of the files he had obtained.

"It's like that." Reo smiled very sweetly. "Ken and Vienna can't get married. They are cousins. It would be considered a sin if they were to finally marry."

"That's what makes me happy, sir."

"Lost how to make Vienna understand. I'm afraid that she'll be desperate and elope with Ken. His parents had to give him a good explanation for Vienna to understand that his relationship with Ken was impossible. Ah, I can sleep well this time."

Mark could only nod even though he himself was confused by the way Reo loved Edewina. According to him, Reo seemed to have been blinded by the charm of Edewina to the point of not realizing that the girl loved others.

"You need to break up!" mahira said as they finished their dinner.

"But why, ma?" ask Edewina.

"Openya Ken, had a bad relationship with the late Edewina. That's the brother of Papi Edmond." said Mahira. That was the reason Mahira thought about and also Ken's parents would say to his son.

"Why did mommy just say it now? I've known Papa Teddy for a long time."

Mahira tries to compose a good word because she knows that her son Edewina is intelligent.

"Mami knew father Teddy without knowing his family background. Moreno's family hated Ken's opinion. Mami also believes Ken's opinion won't agree because he already knows our family." Mahira said while occasionally staring at Edmond who was just silent. He knew Edmond was not comfortable wearing his brother's past relationship with his father Teddy. But Edmond certainly does not agree if you have to say that the real reason is because Teddy is Edewina's real father.

"What's the relationship like, mi?" edewina asked in frustration that her mother was against her relationship with Ken.

"Mommy doesn't want to tell it. This is the biggest wound in the Moreno family. So, before your opa knows the truth, you better end your relationship."

Edmond nodded. "Vienna, we've never banned you all this time. It's just that this time, listen to papi and mami's plea."

"I love you, Ken. How could I possibly end our relationship just because of this family's past?"

"Edewina!" sentak Mahira was angry. He didn't think his son would react that way.

"Mommy, aunty Edewina is dead. We can't fix the past. Is that why I had to sacrifice my relationship with Ken? We love each other. I don't want to part with Ken." please Edewina in tears.

"No, mami. Ken has a lot of respect for me. Our relationship does not exceed the boundaries that we have taught. Ken's a good man."

Mahira breathed a sigh of relief. "That's all my mom said. You have to break up to keep Moreno's family peaceful. If you still know that you are in touch again, then you will force you to return to Indonesia" Mahira said with a slight threat. He never said anything rude to his son. He followed Edewina's wishes. But this time, Mahira had to show her firm attitude so that her son would listen to her.

"Dear, don't cry." Ken wiped Edewina's tears. Both are in Edewina's car. Today Edewina skipped college.

"Ken, I don't want to break up with you!"

"I know baby. I also don't want us to split up just because of the past between my opa and your aunt. My dad also threatened to send me back to Seoul if we didn't break up. Because of that, I want to execute our plan, baby."

"What plan, Ken?"

"We're just getting married. I have a friend whose father is a priest. His uncle was also a civil records officer. He'll take care of our papers. He said about 2 or 3 days."

"You sure you're gonna do this?"

Kennard nodded. "This is the only way."

"Ken, I'm only 19 years old. And you're 23. Isn't this too fast? What if I'm pregnant?"

Ken smiled. "That's exactly what I want. I want you to get pregnant. Of course, getting pregnant on the right track. People say, the presence of a grandchild will make opa and oma will fall in love." Ken wiped Edewina's tears. "You want to marry me, don't you, baby?"

Edewina actually wanted to get married as she had dreamed. His papi would escort him to the altar and all his brothers would stand as his successor's companions. However, that dream had to be buried deeply. In order to maintain his relationship with Ken, Edewina was ready to do anything.

**********

Mark was shocked when he saw Reo breaking the pen in his hand. That powerful pen shattered in Reo's hand and made the handsome man's hand bleed. He had just heard the conversation Vienna and Ken.

"They're getting married? I will never allow it!" reo said slowly but with great emphasis. His heart is very hot.

"What should we do, sir? The two love each other so much."

"If Ken wasn't Edewina's cousin, then I'd let them go. Also the past opa Ken and Aunt Edewina would be thorns in their household I would let Edewina marry the man she loved and also loved. But I don't want Edewina to make a mistake that she'll later regret when she finds out the truth about who her real father is." Reo took a tissue and closed the wound on his palm.

"Mark, Vienna is very fond of automotive. Create a classic car show. The show had to be on Uncle Clark's hotel lawn for me to be younger watching him. Edewina will be married to Ken in 3 or 4 days. So the exhibition has to be done 2 days from now."

"Good sir. Then I'll have to excuse myself for preparing everything."

Reo nodded. When Reo came out, Indira came in. The beautiful woman was surprised to see Reo's bloody hand.

"Reo, what's your hand?" ask Indira to panic.

"Some small wounds only. Oh yes Indira, I really need your help."

"What help?"

"To make Edewina mine."

"Reo, just leave Edewina with Ken. They love each other."

Reo shakes. "They can't get married. Ken and Vienna cousins."

"What?"

Reo tells about the origin of Edewina. "Ken and Edewina are getting married secretly. I'll foil their plans. I beg you to help me. Please so I can get Vienna."

Indira finally nodded. How could he possibly reject the man he loved so much?

*********

"Classical car show? Well, of course I'll come brother Reo. But maybe it'll be a little late because I'm in college until half-six in the afternoon. I also have to give my parents permission. See you tomorrow." Edewina smiled happily. Indeed, he was a bit tense because 2 more days will be secretly married to Ken. Perhaps by attending the exhibition he could calm his mood. Reo was kind enough to invite him to come to the exhibition.

What will happen at the exhibition?
