THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

“MICA, I have good news!” Sherry said excitedly that she immediately called her friend when she heard the news about Edward and Rossana.

“What’s that, Sherry?” Mica responded indifferently.

“You know what, Mica, Edward, and Rossana were already separated. I mean, that marriage that happened is a fake. ”

Mica raised her eyebrows. “What fake? Who told you, Sherry? ” How come their marriage became fake? They even signed. She’s the one who also told Rossana to sign the marriage contract.

“Somebody told me, and this is it. Rossana is no longer at Edward’s house. And now I have a chance to get close to Edward again, Mica. This is fantastic, right? Fate is still on my side.”

“You wish!” Mica whispered.

“What? Did you say, Mica? ”

“Nothing, but what do you want to do, Sherry?” I’m already out that Edward is involved in it. ”

“Don’t worry, I will do it myself. Wish me luck, Mica. Bye. ”

“Well, good luck, bye,” Mica said, as if forced.

When Mica thought of what Sherry said, the two were separated. She felt sad for them. She even saw Rossana and Edward starting to love each other. “Yeah, maybe that’s their destiny. They are met at the right time. But in the wrong situation. ” Mica sighed and felt sorry for Rossana.

As Edward was impatient to wait for the results of what was being done, He called the investigators he hired, he called them but they still couldn’t say anything, so he told them to stop searching for Rossana and he would do it himself.

A month had passed. Rossana was working well at the restaurant. Her life is back to normal except for her heart, which is sluggish, but she tries to forget that there was an Edward Trinidad who came into her life, whom she loved during their brief marriage. But sometimes what they did comes to her mind again and again. Especially after the last thing that happened to them. Fast but good. “How is he doing? Does he remember me even once? Maybe not because there are many girls who like him there. Hey, Rossana. Don’t think about him anymore. “Your life is quiet,” she said to herself. She stood up because her break time was over.

While Edward was in his office, he just sat staring at the ceiling. He misses her proxy bride so much. The longer he doesn’t see her, the yearning in his heart to see her. ” Where are you, Rossana? Why are you so hard to find? Please show yourself, like you did on my wedding day. “You came into my life unexpectedly,” he deeply sighed. He missed her so badly.

He now has no other problems. His mother is okay; she has recovered. To console him, his friends suggested that he go out or hang out with them to forget about her. But he cannot do it because his heart tells him to find her no matter what.

Where am I going to find you, Rosanna? Oh, God, tell me where I’m going to start to find her? I want my wife back in my arms. ”

He was lost in that thought when the mobile on his desk rang.

“Who could it be?” He didn’t look at who called as long as he answered it.

“Hello, who’s this?”

“Hello, Edward. How are you?”

He immediately furrowed his brows when he knows who is called him. “What do you want?” He said straighly.

“Edward, it’s like we had nothing between us before, the way you ask me what do I want!”

“I hope nothing. Tell me now, what do you want to say? I am busy right now, ” he said, even though he was doing nothing.

“Can we meet, Edward?”

“For what?”

“Please, Edward!” She pleaded.

As it was, she said, they had been together before. “Okay fine, where will we meet?”

“Thank you, Edward.” And she said where they meet.

“Okay, I’ll be there before seven pm,” he said.

“Thank you again, Edward. I’ll wait for you thered. I’ll wait for you there. Bye. ”

Edward took a deep breath. Is it the right decision to meet with the ex-fiancé? He thinks she already knows that Rossana is no longer in his life. So she wants to meet him. And maybe again. She wanted to come back to him. No, he’s not crazy enough to go back to someone like her, who was able to leave him for another man. If he wants a new relationship but not with her, he will find another. A better one, like his proxy bride.

When Sherry got off the cell phone, her smile reached her ears. “This is it. This is the beginning. Soon you will be mine again, Edward. I promise I won’t let you go and I will love you more than I loved you before. ” She’s confident because Edward once loved her too much. Feeling happy, he called his friend Mica.

“Hello, Sherry. Why? ” She didn’t answer politely.

“You’re terrible, Mica. Why did you say that to me so quickly?”

“So, why were you calling me?”

“Well, I’m so happy right now!”

“Good for you. So, what’s your connection if you’re happy? ”

Mica, huh. You don’t think of me as a friend anymore? Well, I understand why. That’s why I called you. Edward and I will meet later and we’ll have dinner. She was excited to hear the news.

“You really have a plan to get back to him.”

“Absolutely yes, Mica.”

Okay, is that what you want and what makes you happy? Go for it, Sherry. I hope he accepts you again. ”

“I will do everything, Mica, to return Edward’s love to me.”

Well, what else can I say but good luck? I hope that he will be back to you as you wanted.”

“Thank you, Mica. Bye. I will call you again about what will happen at our dinner tonight. ”

I’m not interested in knowing. Mica wanted to say but stopped herself. “It’s up to you. Bye.”

“Bye, Mica.”

After she got off her mobile, Sherry smiled. I will do everything for you to come back to me. I need to prepare for later. I want you to see me as before, Edward. “I know you like that about me, Edward.”

By six o’clock in the evening, Sherry was ready for dinner with Edward. It first spun around in the mirror.

“Hmmm, perfect, I’m sure. “Edward, you don’t resist my beauty tonight.” When she was satisfied with her appearance, she decided to leave.

“AH, Rossana,” the sir said, “you are the one to be served in a VIP room.”

“I’ll take care of it.”

Rossana headed to the VIP room to see if everything was okay and checked that the room was abundant.

At six thirty pm, Sherry was already in the lobby of the restaurant. picked up the mobile phone and called Edward.

Edward looked at the mobile phone that rang.

“Ahhh, why is this woman calling me again?” he answered.

“Edward, where are you? I’m here at the restaurant already.”

Edward looked at his watch. “Didn’t I say seven pm? It’s still early, huh?”

“It’s almost going to seven, Edward. I’m just excited to see you.”

Okay, I’ll be there in thirty minutes. I still have some paperwork to finish. He’s been like that since he didn’t see Rossana. He stayed until late at night in his office.

“Okay, I’ll just wait for you inside the restaurant, Edward.”

“Okay.”

“Bye.”

Right after she talked to Edward, Sherry entered the restaurant. ”

“Good evening, maam!” The waitress greeted her.

Sherry smiled at them.

“Excuse me, ma’am, do you have a reservation?”

“Yes, I’m Sherry Soliman.”

The waitress checked her name in the reservation book.

“Emma, table seven, please guide Ms. Sherry there,” she said to her companion.

“Ma’am, this way please.” She walked first.

Sherry followed the woman.

When they reached the table and she sat down, the waitress immediately asked her.

“Your order, ma’am?”

Sherry was irritated by her question. “What do you think I am alone to eat? “Later, he is coming! “she spoke flatly.

“Sorry, ma’am,” she apologized before she left.

“Oh, Emma. Why do you have that frown on your face?”

“Because, Rossana, there is a customer, I don’t like the way she talked.”

“Why, what did you do?”

“I was just asking what she wanted to order. She said that she was waiting for her date.”

“Just let her smile. Maybe she’s still waiting for her date.”

“What happened to those in the VIP room when they finished eating, Rossana?”

“Yes, it’s all foreigners. I’ll leave you for now, Emma. I’ll just go to the bathroom and my stomach is a little upset.”

“Your face was reddened.” Are you sick, Rossana? ”

It’s okay, I’m going to leave you. It seems like my stomach is going to turn over.

“All right. “Go ahead, Rossana.

Since Edward wasn’t there yet, Sherry called him again.

Edward looked at his cell phone on the car seat when it rang. He knew who was calling.

“Ahhh, why can’t this girl wait?” He pressed the call button. “I’m here now in the car park. I’ll be there in a few minutes,” he answered directly.

“Okay, table seven, Edward.”

He turned off the mobile and shook himself.

As soon as Rossana entered the toilet, she immediately went straight to the toilet bowls because she was nauseous.

“Why does it come out of my mouth that was bitter? I haven’t eaten anything bitter because my stomach is sour again. After nothing came out of her mouth, she went to the basin and washed her mouth. She looked in the mirror, and Emma was correct: her face was flushed. And really, she felt a bit of dizziness. She wiped her face then went out to the toilet.

“Good evening, sir,” the waitress greeted Edward as he entered the restaurant.

“Good evening too, ladies,” he greeted them with a smile.

“Sir, do you have a reservation? Or is there someone inside waiting for you? ”

“Yes, she told me she was at table seven.”

“Oh, okay, sir, this way.”

“Thank you.”

When Sherry saw Edward, she smiled sweetly. He was at the table. “Hi, Edward. “Nice to see you again.”

“Hi,” he replied sparingly.

After they sat down, “Let’s order now. I’m hungry too,” said Edward.

“Okay, waiter,” Sherry called.

“Emma, they are ready to order, go now.”

“Yes, the man is handsome, isn’t he?”

“Emma, your eyes are okay. See something again good again.”

“Of course, he was good looking,” she replied with a smile.

“Be careful, Emma; you might get screwed to the woman with him.”

“Oh yeah,” she replied as he approached the two.

After the two ordered, Edward looked around as if he didn’t want to look at the person in front of him.

“Edward, let’s talk.”

“Later, let’s just eat first.” For him he isn’t interested to talk to her he want that after they finished eating they just go separately.

“Okay, if that’s what you want.”

“Oh, Rosanna, are you okay?” Emma asked as she returned to the counter area.

“I don’t know how I feel, Emma.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Go home then.”

“No, I can’t do it yet. There’s no need for it  I just got back to work. ”

“It’s up to you. Just tell me if you can’t take it anymore, okay.”

“Yes, thank you, Emma. I’ll leave you alone.”

Edward’s eyes turned to where Rossana was, but she was about to walked behind the counter.

Edward frowned because the stance of the woman at the counter seemed familiar to him.

Sherry noticed this.

“Edward, why? Did you see someone you know? ”

“Huh? Nothing. ”

Sherry also looked at the counter area. There was no one else there but the waiters. “Whom did he see?” Sherry asked herself.
