THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

AT that moment, Rossana was fixing her clothes slowly because she wanted to wait for Edward to come home so they could talk and say goodbye properly to him.

While she was arranging her clothes in her small bag, someone knocked on the door. Rossana’s heart suddenly beat fast. Maybe it’s Edward already, who was outside the door. She stooped up and went to the door to open it.

She took a deep breath before opening the door. She prepares her smile for him. In her deep heart, there is a wish that Edward wouldn’t let her go and tell her that stay with me.

When she opens the door, “Auntie Nena,” she said.

“Rossana, can I come in?” The lady asked her

“Of course, Auntie comes in.”

When the lady got inside, her eyes fixed on Rossana’s bag. And suddenly, you can see a sadness in her eyes. “Rossana, don’t leave, Sir Edward.” she said.

“Auntie, he is not my husband; there is no reason for me to stay here.”

“Can I ask you something, Rossana?”

“Sure, Auntie, what is that?”

“Do you love Sir Edward? Don’t lie, okay? ”

“Yes, I already love him, even though he treats me badly, auntie.”

“That’s good. Why are you leaving? I think Sir loves you too. Don’t leave. Just wait for him. Rossana, talk to him. Tell him that you love him.”

“He doesn’t love me, auntie Nena. Maybe you’re seeing him wrong. Even though we’ve just been together for a while, I can see that he’s good at hiding his feelings. Suddenly, his behavior changes. ”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Did he tell you he didn’t love you? Did he, Rossana?”

“No.” She shook her head.

“No, then maybe you feel that you have value to him or that he loves you.”

“I don’t know, auntie, because he’s the kind of person whose every move is difficult to read; sometimes he’s cold, sometimes he’s hot, and really you can’t understand his behavior.”

“Rossana, the your heart can judges, this is where you will know the truth. Feel him through your heart. ”

“How can I do that, auntie, if I’m leaving here because I don’t have the right to be in his house?”

“What if Sir Edward tells you not to leave, Rossana?”

“He can’t say this, auntie. Maybe he’s still mad at me because of what I did.”

“I’m not going to insist anymore or ask what you did to Sir Edward, Rossana. We were really surprised because Sir Edward’s wife said a different name. But whoever that woman is, well, she’s not the one… You know, I mean you, Rossana. I feel good about you because you have a beautiful character. Wait for sir, let’s talk before you leave. I’ll go downstairs and prepare dinner for you so you can eat it before going home. But I hope sir will stop you from leaving. ”

“Alright auntie, thank you.”

Edward hurried into the house. And there is eagerness to see Rossana. He wants to hug her tightly and say, “Stay with me forever because I love you.

He was about to go up the stairs when his cellphone rang. He stopped at the third step to see who was calling. “It’s dad, why?” The father only calls him occasionally, especially if it’s important. “Hello, Dad, why did you call me?”

“Son, come to the hospital right now,” he said worriedly.

“Dad, why is someone at the hospital?” he asked in surprise.

“Your mother’s son, she’s had a heart attack again. Please come. Hurry up because she’s in bad condition now! ”

“What?”

“Hurry up, son.”

“Okay, daddy, I’m on my way there now. Even though she was upset with her mother and that’s the way she behaved, he loved her very much.

He got down, rushed out of the house, and quickly got into his car. Before Edward started the engine, he first looked at his house. and sighed. “Wait for me, Rossana,” he said, even though he wanted to see her. But because the mother is in a dangerous situation, he will choose her first.

Rossana ran to the window of their room when she heard the sound of a car on the opposite side of the house. “Edward?”

When she saw him leave, she felt sad. “Why did he leave? Didn’t he want us to talk before I left his house? ” She asked herself.

She immediately went downstairs after she packed her clothes. and said goodbye to the couple.

“Auntie Nena, uncle Ambo, I’m leaving. Thank you. Even though we were together only for a short time, you have become important to me.”

“You are the same to us, Rossana, because you are kind,” said Auntie Nena.

If for us, Rossana, I want you to stay here. You’re very kind. But if Sir Edward finds someone else, then the behavior is the same as his mother,” uncle Ambo said.

“Maybe not, uncle Ambo, I’m leaving.”

“Oh, aren’t you really going to wait for Sir Edward, Rossana?”

“No need, auntie Nena, uncle Ambo,” she will not say, despite the fact that he arrived earlier and left immediately.

“Before you go home, eat first.” Rossana, just wait a while for me to finish my cooking.

“It is okay, auntie Nena, I will eat at home.”

“Alright, Rossana. If you don’t want to stop, there’s nothing we can dos nothing we can do. Be careful. ”

“Yes, thank you.”

The couple escorted Rossana to the gate of the house.

“Be careful, Rossana,” Auntie Nena said again.

“Yes, Auntie.” Rossana first looked around the house before she walked away. She took a deep breath and turned around. She felt her feet were too heavy to leave the house of the man she already loved. Her tears flowed. “Goodbye, Edward.” She wiped her wet cheek and left.

Edward arrived at the hospital and hurried to see his father, who was outside the operating room.

“Dad, how is mommy?”

“I don’t know yet, so no doctors or even nurses have come out yet.”

“What happened to mommy and daddy? Why was she suddenly attacked? ”

“I don’t know, son, our maid went to tell your mother to eat and she saw her lying on the floor.”

“Damn! Maybe because I confronted her! ”

The father frowned at what he heard. “What confrontation did you have, Edward?”

“Daddy, mommy interfered with the registration of my marriage contract with Rossana. She blocked it. Rossana is not my wife, dad. There is sadness in his voice while talking.

The father was not surprised by what he said. Well, he knows his wife. “Do you love her yet, son?”

“Yes, dad, I love her now. I know now that she is the one I want to be with in my life, but because of what mommy did, I no longer have any rights over Rossana.”

“Why are you worried, son? Do something to court her. Do everything and she will come back to you. The question is, does she love you too? ”

Edward looked at his father because of what he said.

“I feel that she loves me, dad.”

“That’s it, son. When you get home, talk to her. But for now, let’s take care of your mommy first. ” He patted the son’s shoulder.

“Okay, dad. When mommy is fine, I’ll do what you told me to. That’s what my friends advise too. ”

“Good. Let’s pray that your mommy gets well soon. ”

“Yes, dad, I will do that.”

When Rossana got off the taxi she rode in, she was thinking about what to tell her family because she said she was in Hong Kong. She let out a deep sigh before walking into their house. It’s up to them if they believe what he says or reasons.

When she was in front of their house, she knocked on the door. “Rosemary, someone is there; look,” the father ordered.

“Yes, father.” She headed to the door.

When she opened the door, “Sister, why are you here? What happened to you?” she asked worriedly.

The father stoop up when he heard what Rosemary said.

“Rossana?”

“Can you let me in first?”

“Rosemary, take your sister’s bag.”

“How is Mother?” He asked as soon as he entered the house.

“Your mother is fine; she is strong,” answered the father.

“That’s good!” The lethargy was obvious in his voice.

After they sat down, “Rossana, what happened? Why did you come home so soon?”

“M… my employer terminated me, father,” she lied.

“That’s how it is in Hong Kong. If your boss doesn’t like you, she’ll send you home right away.”

“That’s right, Rosemary,” she agreed.

Perhaps your boss is jealous of your beauty, sister. Well, if you dress nicely, you will look more like a boss sister. ”

Rossana smiled at what her sister said.

“Let’s not talk about that anymore. It’s okay that you are here, Rossana. Don’t leave so we can be together even if our lives are difficult.”

“Yes, father, I will never leave. I will just look for a job here.”

“That’s good. Go ahead and rest. I know you’re tired from your trip.”

Rossana felt guilty for lying to her father. Oh God, forgive me for lying. But I have to do it. ” She walked over to his father and hugged him. “Come on, Rosemary.”

Additionally, her sister hugged them. The small brother was astounded by the scene. He ran so he could hug them too. Similar to her father, Rossana abruptly broke down in tears.
