THE PROXY BRIDE (English Version)

"HOW do you feel now, Sherry, that you and Edward are getting married soon?"

She sighed before answering her friend's question,"I'm not sure, Mica," her voice was sad or she didn't feel like she was going to get married soon.

Mica looked at her carefully, "Why you do not know? I think you are the bride-to-be who is not happy with this upcoming wedding. " Yeah, she can sense her friend's feelings and she knows her very well. They have been friends for a long time.

"My feelings are divided, Mica. And I'm confused now! " She bowed.

Mica raised her friend's face. "Look at me." She looked at her. "Are you confused? What do you mean by that, Sherry?"

"Mica, because...I feel like I'm not happy about marrying Edward."

"What are you talking about? And you know, Edward well right? And Everything was in Edward's, Sherry, so what else are you looking for in him? He loved you very much. Don't be... stupid. When you leave him, you are more than stupid, you are crazy too!" Mica had an annoyed expression. And she feel that Sherry will cut off their wedding.

"Yes, but...I feel more happy with Felix." Sherry's eyes can see the brightness when she calls the man's name.

"What? My goodness, Sherry! You two still have a relationship; it's like you're fooling Edward with that, ah. And he has nothing compared to your fiancé! " She was even more annoyed.

"Because they are different, Mica." She smiled slightly.

"Different? Where, Sherry? they're both men?"

Sherry looked at her best friend before answering.

"Don't look at me like that, Sherry. I need your answer."

"When it comes to bed, Mica. Felix is more passionate and aggressive. He gives me what I want, "she responded to her.

"What was just in bed?" She also stared at her friend.

"I am happier when we are having love making with Felix and Mica. He gives me satisfaction when he is with me in bed."

Mica shook her head. "How about, Edward?"

"Well, he's good too, but...you know what I meant, Mica?"

"I don't know about you, Sherry. You're already in a soft bed, and then you want to move to the mat."

"That's why I said I don't know, I'm really confused. I know if Edward is the one I'm with, my life will be good with him; he's kind and he was wealthy." But money isn't a problem; I have my own savings.

"You know, why do you have to destroy it, Sherry? You do have money. But the question is. Does Felix have it too, huh?"

Sherry avoided looking at her friend. "I can't think straight, Mica," she interrupted, changing the course of their conversation.

Mica shook her head. Even though she didn't know Felix well, she knew he was handsome, but Edward was more handsome than he. But of course, like her friend says, he's good in bed. Yes, sex makes you crazy."This is all I can tell you, Sherry, as your friend, choose what you feel and what your heart wants. I hope you choose the right one, Sherry, so you won't regret it in the end. I believe in that saying, regret always comes last. Remember this even if he's a good person, if you make him angry, he will become a demon. Mica, referring to Edward.

"Thank you for the good advice, Mica. If Felix is my choice, I know he hates me. But I wish he would meet a woman he would love more. And for him to forgive me. "

"Do you think so, Sherry, that everything is that easy? You will hurt Edward. But whatever you decide, I'm here, Sherry, as your friend. "She just said it because she has no right to protest if her decision was to go to the other man, not Edward, because she's just her friend.

"My friend you are really good to me," she said with a smile.

They were in that conversation when Sherry's mobile rang. She immediately took it.

"Who?"

"Edward, Mica, wait. I'll answer his call."

"Okay."

"Hello, honey!"

"Hello, honey. How's your day? "

"It's fine, honey." She looked at her friend.

"Where are you now, honey?"

"At my home, honey."

"That's good. I'll go over your place now, honey."

"Honey, don't you have work today?"

"There is, but it's not that important, so I'll drop by your place now I'm on the way." I'll be at your place any moment, honey, but if you're busy, it's okay. I won't be there anymore. "

Sherry looked at her friend again.

"I'm leaving, Sherry." she said in a low voice and stood up. So two can talk.

Sherry nodded her head. Mica leaves immediately because she knew that Edward was coming from the way her friend looked at her.

"Honey, are you still there?" Edward asked his fiance because suddenly she quiet.

"Oh yes, honey, I'm here."

"So, can I come or not, honey?" He asked her again to make sure she agreed. Well, if she said no because she had something to do or she needed to rest, then he wouldn't come.

"Of course honey, you can. I'm not busy anyway. "

"Okay, actually I'm already in the parking area of your condominium, honey."

"Oh, okay honey, I'll just wait for you here."

"Bye, honey, see you in a minute," Edward answered and turned off the mobile phone.

Sherry sighed deeply. The truth is she doesn't want to see her fiance if she is the one to follow. And she wanted Felix to be with her.

"ROSSANA, you have a call on the phone," shouted the manager of the restaurant where she worked.

"Sir, who is it?" she ask.

"Your sister, she said it's an emergency," he replied.

Rossana ran into his office and took the phone to her manager. Before she answered, "Thank you, sir," she said.

The manager nodded but starred at her. Like he said, talk to her faster.

"Hello, Rosemary, what happened?" She immediately asked her sister.

"Sister, our mother, she lost consciousness earlier. Our neighbors helped us to take her to the hospital." She cries.

"It's okay, Rosemary, stay at the hospital and look after our mother first because I can't leave yet because there are still many customers right now."

"But sister, I don't know what I'm going to do now. We're so scared. I was just called here at the nurse station. Come and see us here now, can you please?" Her voice was shaking like she's going to cry any moment.

She needs to decide right now. She looked at her boss. He looked at her too, his eyes telling her to quickly talk to her sister.

Rossana took a deep breath. She must go to see her family because they need her.

"Alright, Rosemary wait for me, I'm going to say goodbye to my boss first." She looked at the boss, who had looked at her. And it's like he wouldn't agree with what she was going to say.

"Hurry up, sister, please."

"Yes, bye," she said when she got off the phone. "Sir-," she said as soon as the boss answered.

"It's not possible, Rossana," he replied immediately.

"But sir, it's an emergency; my sister needs me," she insisted.

"You're also needed here, and your workday isn't over yet," he shooed her away.

But Rossana couldn't stand her sister to be alone at the hospital right now because she was still young, so she decided.

"I'm leaving now, sir, because my family needs me more."

"All right, Rossana. Leave but remember this: there's no going back once you're out!" It's a threat from her boss.

Rossana stared at her boss. "If that's what you want, sir, it's okay now to give me my last salary." Yeah, even though she lost her job now, the most important thing is her family because she knows no one can help them.

The boss immediately took the money and gave her salary.

She took it and left without saying goodbye to her boss.

The boss just looked at Rossana, who came out. "I know you'll come back here, Rossana, but it's hard to find a job now," he said.

Sherry stood up immediately when someone rang the doorbell and she knew it was Edward.

When he opened the door, she was immediately greeted with a kiss from him. But Sherry immediately moved her lips away.

"Just wait, come in first, honey." She simply pushed him.

"Hmmm," Edward just murmured, and once again captured her lips.

"Edward, wait, what are you doing?" She walked towards the couch. It's like you haven't seen me in a long time. We just hung out last night.

Edward followed her. "I miss you right away, honey," He first pulled her towards him and hugged her. "I'm really excited about our upcoming wedding, so I can hug and kiss you like this every day." He captured her lips again.

Sherry let him what he do, so he couldn't say anything.

Why do I feel this way? It's not my fault that this is happening to me and Edward. Like I don't have a feeling or I don't love him anymore. Sherry said to herself.

Edward pulled her towards the couch. He sat down first and held her in his arms.

"Edward, what are you going to do?" Sherry pretended to ask him. But she knows what he wants to do.

His hands began to move all over her body. And his palm is looking for something. When he found what he wanted, he took off the hook of her bra. And he immediately lifted up her blouse. His lips moved fast, covering one Sherry breast.

"Hmmm," Edward muttered, sounding like a child at that moment.

Sherry wanted to stop what Edward did to her because she was not in the mood having a lovemaking. But she didn't do it because he might be offended. Even though she wasn't in the mood, she try to accompanying him.

"Honey, take off your shorts?" Edward ordered her.

She stood up first and took off her shorts, including her underwear. Edward unbuckled his belt and lowered his pants slightly and pulled her towards her thigh again.

At that point, Edward was about to release the heat from his body.

In just a few minutes, they are done. So Sherry compares Felix to Edward. Felix did everything to make her happy. The kind that will have her roaring hard with a chase gasp factor. She knows Edward can do that too, but like this, he's the only one who knows the agony of pleasure.

"Honey, please forgive me. You know I'm a busy person. When we get married, I will get back to you completely, I promise!" Edward said.

Sherry smiled. "Don't say sorry, honey. Yes, I understand you." But deep inside her, she was not happy anymore.

"I love you so much, because you always understand me. I need to go now, honey. I have a meeting before three o'clock."

"Okay, be careful when you drive!"

When Edward fixed himself, he immediately headed to the door and Sherry followed her fiancee.

"Bye, honey. Oh, by the way, join me for dinner tonight. " He said before he got out of the door.

"Honey, can it be another day? We always eat outside, right?" Sherry refused.

"Well, that's what you want, honey. It's okay another day. Bye."

"Bye," she said but before Edward left the door. He gave her a kiss on the lips, and after the kiss ended, he immediately left.

When Sherry closed the door, she leaned against it.

"You've always been like that, Edward. How can it be that if we're married, every time we make love there's always a rush? I don't want that," she sighed deeply. She was already decided. "I need to choose my happiness," she told herself.

"SISTER, Is mother's illness serious? What did the doctor say to you?"

"Yes, Rosemary. Mother needs to have surgery soon."

"Sister, where are we going to get the money for our mother operation?"

Rossana looked up at the ceiling. Even she doesn't know where to get that much money. "I don't know either, Rosemary, but I'll think about where to get it. I can do it," she said to her sister.

"Sister, is it from your boss? You can borrow money from him. How much is needed for your mother's surgery?"

"One hundred thousand," her sister replied.

Rosemary's eyes widened at what she heard from her sister. "What? My gosh, sister, where do you get such a large amount? "

"The important thing is to get mother operated on as soon as possible, Rosemary," she said sadly as she hugged her brother.

Rosemary's sister sat next to Rossana and hugged them too.

"Sister, why is our life like this? We are already poor, and we are suffering even more. I thought that God is very unfair to us!" She said tearfully.

"Psst, Rosemary. Don't say that. He's not unfair. He only strengthens us as far as we can go with each of his tests. Don't think that okay? Even if we are poor, always think positively. " She held her sister's head and caressed it. She looked at her two siblings. She just sighed off, silenced. The truth is she wanted to cry, but she didn't want to show her sister that she was crying. She had to be brave for them.

"Sister, how long will this test last? When we die?" Tears have flowed from Rosemary. She just cannot control herself to say such a thing because of their condition now.

"Soon, Rosemary. Just pray. Don't emote. I know what you feel. Smile please," she said to her sister with a smile.

"Sister, I'm smiling, oh," the brother said.

"Good boy, Rowel," she said.

When Rossana remembered their father." Oh, Rosemary, where he's? Why I can't see him here? " She refers to their father.

"He said earlier that he was going to look for money."

"Huh? Where is he going to look if no one can going to lending him money? "

"I don't know, he just said we stay here and wait for you."

"Oh no, our father, we already have a problem; he might add to it," she said, but she was still concerned about where her father was now.

"Probably, sister, he's going to be your headache too," the sister echoed.

They were having that conversation when the police came towards them where they were sitting.

Rossana was suddenly nervous when she saw them, not even sure yet if they were looking for

"Sister, here is another problem to come," Rosemary whispered to her.

"Are you, Rossana Luna?" The policeman asked as he approached them.

"O---yes, sir, is there a problem?" She answered shakily.

"Come with us now."

Rossana was shocked by what the police said. "Huh? Why, sir? What's my fault? " She wondered what violation she had committed.

"You are not your father, in prison now?"

The siblings looked at the police because of what he said.

"My gosh, I already said that, eh?" Rosemary sighed.

"Alright, sir, I'll come with you. Rosemary, stay here, don't go anywhere, okay, and take care of Rowel," Rossana said.

"Yes, sister, what else?" she answered.

Immediately, Rossana went with the police. "My gosh father. What did you do now you're my problem too?" Rossana said to herself as she got into the police patrol car.

ROSSANA ran to the prison cell where her father was. After the police told her about his case.

"Father, what did you do?" She still asked her father.

The gentleman started crying. "M-my daughter, I'm sorry your father is so stupid. I can't think of any other way to get money for your mother's surgery, so I did it," he bowed, ashamed of his daughter.

Rossana felt sorry for her father, but what he did was still wrong. "Father, I know that you are worried about mother, but I hope not in that way. I already have one problem, then you give me another one where I can get money for your bail?" Rossana wanted to cry. Her mind was so messy right now that she didn't know what to think first.

"My daughter, just leave me here. I'm old already. Just take care of your mother first and then me!" He hold his daughter hand.

Even though that her father said that, she is a daughter who loves her parents."I can't ignore you Father. I don't have enough money to bail you out now. You stay here while I look for more money. "

"My daughter, forgive me. Now I am also a problem for you because your father doesn't know how to think straight," he sobbed.

Rossana couldn't stop her tears that began to flow down her cheeks. She calmed herself first because she might cry even more. She was silent for five minutes to control herself.

The father held her hand. "My daughter, forgive me," he said again.

Rossana held her father's hand tightly, making him understand that she was right next to him. " What else can I do? It's a good thing that woman didn't file a case against you. I still feel sorry for you, because you are old enough to stay here." Okay, I will leave you first and I will look for money, "she let go her father's hand and walked away.

"My daughter, don't worry about me here, I'm fine," he shouted after his daughter a bit far away.

Rossana looked at her father. She smiled. Her smile said, "Yeah, you must be fine and wait for me to come back." She walked straight and never looked back.

In Sherry's condominium, while lying in bed, her cell phone rang.

Sherry thought that her fiancee was the one who called her. She didn't even look at her phone for her. She's not in the mood to talk to him right now. She didn't pick up the phone to see who was calling her; he just let it ring. She didn't want to talk to him.

Because the person on the other line was not surrendering to call her, Sherry was forced to answer it.

She immediately picked up the phone when she saw that it was not her finance calling. She immediately answered it.

"Hello, Felix," she said happily.

"Hello, Sherry. Why did it take so long to answer my call? " "I said with irritation."

"Sorry, Felix. Because I was in the bathroom taking a shower, so I didn't answer right away," her alibi was a lie.

"Sherry? Are you going somewhere?"

"No, why?" she answered immediately.

"It's good then..."

"Where are you, Felix? Why is it so noisy where you are?" She asked him because she hears a lot of different background sounds. The sound of water, cars, and lots of people.

"Because I'm here on the bay walk, Sherry."

Sherry had a look of wonder on her face as to why he was there. "What are you doing at that place, Felix?"

"'I'm just venting, Sherry. You want to join me here. I'll wait for you here.

"Sure, wait for me. I'll just change my clothes." She got up quickly.

"Okay, just hurry up. I might get bored if you take too long to come here."

In a few seconds, I will be there. Bye. "

"Bye. "See you in a while, Sherry."

After Sherry turned off the cell phone, she immediately got dressed and left the house.

That fast, she went out. When Felix called her, she was so excited and energetic. She thought that her fiancee was the one who called her just now because she was so weak and didn't bother to check her phone. While she was driving, her smile was up to her ear.

"My God! Where do I get money? Even if I sell my body over and over again, it still won't fit! " Rossana said to herself as she walked by the sea.

Rossana decided to take a walk on the beach first so she could think about what she should do. When she got to the rock, she sat down and couldn't stop her tears from falling. She looked up at the sky that was getting a bit cloudy. At the same time, I kept wondering if I could handle all of your tests."I hope, Lord, you just give me one by one, so that I can handle it even though this is so hard," she said as the tears continued.

She was quiet for a while, craying when she just sobbed.

To help me, tell me or just whisper what I should do. To be honest, my mind is a mess right now." This is where she burst into tears again.

The man close to Rossana turned around because of her crying.

"Maybe this woman has a big problem; maybe she's unlucky in love or maybe she's pregnant," said the man.

"Hi, Felix. I'm here, " Sherry greeted the man with a smile. He immediately approached her. She greeted him and kissed him on the lips.

"You're fast, aren't you?" He said after the kiss ended.

"I told you I'd be there in a few seconds."

"It's like you're a wonderwoman, Sherry."

Well, I'm like that to you, Felix, faster than that, wanderwoman."

The two sat hugging each other. She was happy when she was with him. Not like Edward. Went they are together she was not happy anymore.
