Chapter 6

ROSSANA just looked at Sherry.

"Yes or no, Rossana?" Sherry said it again.

"Yes, I will do it for my mother's life," she replied without any doubt now.

"Good, here is the address of my house. Everything is was there: my wedding gown, everything. Don't worry, I will talk to all the people around you on your wedding day. "

"Can I ask a question, Sherry?"

"Sure, Rossana. What's that? "

"Why would you leave the man you chose to marry, Sherry?"

"I have answered you already, Rossana. So you will be the bride on my wedding day, so that I can go because that is also the day Felix and I leave for another country. I know I will hurt Edward, but my happiness is at stake. So, it is up to him what he will do when he finds out that I am not the woman he married," she explained.

Rossana was speechless at what she heard.

"Don't worry, my friend will look after you; I'll talk to her after we finish here."

"Alright, I'm leaving. I have to go back to the hospital for my mother's surgery. Don't worry, I will do what we talked about. I have one word." Rossana said, and she stood up.

"Aren't you going to drink your coffee? Drink it while it's hot. Their coffee here is delicious."

Rossana took the cup and took a single sip. Lucky isn't that hot, so her tongue wasn't burned.

Sherry shook her head. She knew that she would have to rush to the hospital.

"Sherry, are you sure she'll do it? What's your conversation? You know, we don't know her. Maybe he's also a scammer and is pretending to need money you know." Felix said went Rossana gone.

"Well, it's up to her, Felix. That money she took isn't much, so it's really up to her if she wants to do what we talked about. But from what I see, she'll do it. "

"Yeah, me too, but somehow I still have doubts about her, Sherry."

Sherry smiled at her boyfriend. "Where are we going?" she asked, with a hint.

Felix looked at his watch at just nine o'clock in the morning. "So, early."

"Why not?" Sherry responded with a smile.

Felix smiled. "Okay, let's go," he said.

After Rossana paid for the mother's surgery, it was performed immediately. And he also got her father out of jail. The mother's surgery went well. Rossana is now reassured because everything is in order. Now she has to deal with her contract with Sherry.

One day before the wedding, Rossana said goodbye to her family. "Father, you're going to take mother out of the hospital? Because I can't do it. "

"Where are you going, Rossana?"

"I was transferred to another restaurant. It's a bit far, so I can't go home right away. She had no choice but to lie.

Her father understood her reason. "Oh okay, when are you leaving?"

"Now, I hope you don't do anything else," she said to her father.

"Promise, my daughter, not anymore."

"It's good, and you, Rosemary, take care of them okay," she turned to her sister.

"Yes, sis, when are you coming back? It look like you aren't coming back for along time."

"I will visit you, of course. I will go home to prepare for what I will bring. I need to go now. "

"Sis, be careful," said their youngest.

"Of course, and you must study hard, okay."

"Yes, Sis, I promise I will study hard."

Rossana ruffled her brother's hair and left the room. When she went out the door, that's when the tears that Rossana had been holding back started to flow. I'm happy because you're fine now, mother, and no matter what the consequences of what I do, I know you'll be there for me, and I hope the man I'm going to marry will forgive me. She walked out of the hospital. and immediately took a taxi and drove to Sherry's house. After an hour of traveling, they reached her house.

"Sir, this is my payment. Thank you," she said to the taxi driver.

"Thank you too, miss," he replied, and she went down.

"Wow, she lives here. She's rich. " She approached the guard. "Good day, sir. May I ask a question? " She said politely.

"What is that, Miss?"

"Does Sherry Soliman live here?"

"Oh, ma'am, Sherry. Yes, wait, are you Rossana Luna? " He whispered the last thing he said.

Rossana wondered why he knew her name. But she wasn't curious anymore. "Yes, sir, I'm Rossana Luna."

Sherry talked to the guard about Rossana. And she was given a small amount.

"You go to unit number 5."

"Thank you, sir," she said, going to the number he said.

When she reached the unit, the guard told her "Could this be it?" She let out a sigh and rang the doorbell.

In just five seconds someone opened the door. "Who are you?" "Said a woman who came out. 

Rossana suddenly became nervous. "I—I'm Rossana Luna," she introduced herself.

"Oh, you are, Rossana," she said, looking the woman over from head to toe.

Rossana just looked at the woman.

After looking at her, she immediately spoke. "Come in, Rossana."

"Tha...Thank you," she was nervous because the woman welcome her not a pleasant.

When they got inside "Sit down first," the woman said to Rossana.

"Thank you."

After they sat down, Rossana immediately asked the woman. "Is Sherry, still here?"

"What did she say to you?" she asked her back.

Rossana could feel the disgust of the person in front of her. She is a straightforward person even though she is shy. "I know you don't like me, miss. But Sherry and I had a conversation that I must fulfill. "

"Yes, you're right, I'm not agreeing. In your conversation, she tells me everything. This is cheating!" She said a little angrily.

"You must tell that to Sherry, not me, because she is the one with the plan, not me."

"You cheated too, don't you? Because you agreed to what she wanted to happen!"

She knows that what she said was right. But she has to do what they talked about. "If that's what you think of me, I can't do anything. Maybe Sherry told you the reason why I agreed to what she wanted."

"By the way, I'm Mica. Yeah, I know that woman is really crazy. I'm sorry about that earlier. I was just annoyed with Sherry, "she said gently. 

"It's to be honest, I was thinking that you were not a nice person earlier, because the way you looked at me was not good," she said with a smile.

"Is that so? I'm sorry, I'm really annoyed with her. If only I could slap that woman! I already did it before she left!

Suddenly, the tone of their conversation changed, as if they were close."They are no longer here in the Philippines?"

"Yes, so have you prepared yourself for what might happen tomorrow, Rossana? Tomorrow will undoubtedly be a major mess. Ah I wished its not gonna happen."

"Yes, whatever happens, I accept it. I expected what the groom's reaction would be. "

"I'm the one who's nervous. I really don't want to attend tomorrow. I really feel like I can already see Edward's anger. They say a good person was furious to be angry. "

"Not only you, Mica, especially me. I also feel nervous. I hope that when he finds out that Sherry is not the one he married, there will be no signing in the marriage contract, or he will tell me to leave right away so that I can come home to my family immediately." Yes this is what she thought and she wishes that make it happen.

"You know, Rossana, Edward is handsome, rich, and kind. He has it all. I don't know about that woman; why she traded Edward for Felix, who doesn't even have an ass on his little finger. I guess it's just the romance. I really don't know."

"Mica, because of love, Sherry was able to leave Edward. Felix is also handsome and has strong charisma."

"Yes, charisma, that made Sherry go crazy."

"Sherry, loves him so much that why she did that, Mica."

"You're right, Rossana, love can do everything. Even if you know that someone will be hurt, you don't care. That's what Sherry did. That woman is really stupid! "

"Even if it's me, I'll do what Sherry did, just to be happy for my love. "

"It's enough that we talked about, Sherry. You should rest so that your beauty will be fresh tomorrow. Come, I will bring you to your room. "

She nodded and followed Mica. She had no chance to retreat any further.

Chapter 7

EDWARD'S stag party. Mostly one month or one week before the wedding, there's a stag party for the groom and bride. But Edward is so busy with his business and he has to finish what needs to be finished because he and Sherry will be on honeymoon for a long time. So, before his wedding day tomorrow, his friends held a stag party tonight for his last single life.

He and his fiancee talked the same way; they decided to do his stag party and her bridal shower together. But there was no bridal shower because Sherry was no longer in the Philippines. They left for Hong Kong with the man, whom she replace to Edward.

"Edward, have fun now because this is the last night that you're single!" his friends said.

Edward nodded to his friend. After a while, the girls who were going to dance in front of them came out naked.

"Go ahead, babies, keep grinding. That's going to make our groom excited and aroused," shouted Edward's friends while there were women grinding in front of him, behind him, and on his side.

Edward's mind was not on the girls who were dancing. "Why do I feel this way? I feel something is not right. How was Sherry's party tonight? Did she enjoy herself? Edward said to himself. And he thought something the past few days, and yesterday his fiancee never called him to at least say hello. And he tried to call her this morning but her mobile phone couldn't be reached. He thought that she might be busy preparing for their wedding tomorrow. But now he feels strange, his heart suddenly beating fast, not for women who dance naked in front of him. He feels really strange now that something bad is happening. He shook his head at he thought. Why would this happen? Everything was done perfectly between them and when he felt the women undressing him, he stopped them.

"No ladies, this body belongs to my wife only. So, do whatever you want to happen to them." He taught his friends at the same time.

"Don't be a killjoy, bro. This is your night, not ours. So enjoy yourself, Edward, " they shouted.

He shook his head and just raised the glass. "Cheers!" he said.

"Edward, is that you? You suddenly became a good husband," Al said."Bro, not yet time for that. You still have a hours to be naughty tonight."

"I'm going to start, bro. Let's toss bros, for my marriage life." Edward stood up. "TOS!" he shouted.

Because he didn't want anything to happen this night, the girls' show was only for one hour. Edward sent them home, and they just had a drink. It was twelve o'clock in the morning. "Guys, let's sleep. Remember, tomorrow is my big day. I want to rest okay," he said to them.

"You're right, Edward. "Let's go," Al seconded.

So they got out of that suit and went to the rooms reserved for them in the hotel where they were.

THAT morning, Rossana woke up early. She went to the window and peered out to see that the sun was shining.

"This is your payday, Rossana," she said to herself as she left the room.

"Good morning, Rossana," Mica greeted when she saw her as she came out of the room.

"Good morning too, Mica," she greeted her as well.

"Come, let's have breakfast first, then take a shower because someone will come to fix you up. You haven't seen yet the gown you're going to wear later, right? I forgot to saw you yesterday. If you see your wedding gown promise, every woman's dream to wear it. Even me, I want to wear that kind of wedding gown too. "

"Can the gown fit me, Mica?"

"Hmmm..." Mica looked at Rossana's body first."I think you have the same body as Sherry. I wish you had measured it last night. I forgot, how if it did not fit you? Well, it's good, so we don't have to go to church. "

Rossana smiled at what she said. because she asked a question and she answered.

Mica noticed Rossana's smile."Don't mind me, I'm really like this, especially if I do something bad because of that woman. We haven't even started. My heart is beating so hard it would be good if your wedding gown is wasn't fit for you, so we have a reason not to go to the church right? Oh no, my gosh, I'm going crazy. "

Rossana smiled even more. You can really notice that Mica was so nervous. Who is not especially her because she will face the man named Edward.

After they ate, she took a shower after a few hours the people who were going to do their makeup come.

Since the wedding was in the afternoon, everything went well without any problems.

When the afternoon arrived, it was time for Edward and Sherry's wedding.

Edward is already in the church. And all family, friends, the same on Sherry's side. They are all smiling. You can see the excitement on their faces.

"Bro, relax. Why are you so uneasy?" said Edward's friend.

"Bro, I'm so excited. That's why I'm like this. I don't know what feeling I have right now."

"Yeah bro, especially later on your honeymoon full of roaring and growling." He whispered to him.

"You're crazy, bro. I'm really nervous. Don't be like that. When you get married, you'll feel the same as I'm feeling right now in mixed emotions."

"Okay, I didn't say anything more, bro."

Al doesn't want their conversation to come to him, especially since Edward is talking about marriage.

Meanwhile, Rossana and Mica were in the bridal car, heading to the church.

"Rossana, my goodness, I'm so nervous now, promise, I feel like I'm going to faint any moment," Mica said.

"You're not the only one who feels that way, Mica; take a look at my hands." She raised her hand, which was really moving.

"Relax, Rossana," she said.

Rossana shook her head. How could she be relax her nervous is from Aparri to Jolo?

"Rossana, will you come down later and leave me in the car because I can't face, Edward?"

"Can that be? Remember you're the bridesmaid."

"Oh yes, my gosh, because I was so nervous that I forgot, I'm the bridesmaid, Ahhh! Because of you, Sherry, I'll make you bald when I see you again," she said.

Because of their serious conversation, they did not realize that they were in front of the church.

"Ma'am, we are now at the church," said the driver.

The two felt more nervous because they saw so many people outside.

"Rossana, I think I'd rather just pass out so I can't enter the church anymore!" Her hands began to shake too.

"Can we do it together, Mica?" Rossana replied.

Mica laughed at what Rossana taught. Somehow, the nervous feeling disappeared a little.

Rossana looked at her hand; it was really shaking. She palmed it.

Mica noticed this and held Rossana's hand, which was also shaking.

And they didn't realize that the driver had opened the door of the bridal car they were riding in.

Rossana closed her eyes. "This is it. Prepare yourself, Rossana," she said to herself.

"Mica, go down first."

"You may go first, Rossana. I can't seem to step on my feet. "

"Mica. Aren't you my bridesmaid? That's why you should support me when I go down. "

"My gosh because the tension I felt, I forget it, Rossana." She replied, but she got down.

"Oh, your bride is here, bro. Let's go inside so your wedding ceremony can begin. I know you're super excited about the honeymoon," Edward's friend whispered as he said the last thing.

"Yeah bro, really, I'm so excited for the honeymoon."

"Edward, son, let's go inside," his mother said.

Before entering the church, he glanced at his bride with a smile on his face.

When the church bell rang, it signaled that the wedding would begin.

Chapter 8

BEFORE Rossana got out of the car, she looked at the church. "Forgive me, God, this is for my mother, I know this is wrong but I have no choice, please heal my mother," she said, because she knew what she was doing now was a big sin.

Mica help Rossana got out to the bridal car And they walked in from if the church door.

"Rossana, are you okay?" Mica still asked, even though she knew it wasn't okay. If she's nervous, Rossana is even worse.

"Mica, I'm not okay. My knee is shaking. I can't continue this. There's still have a time, right? " She said because they were still at the front door. It's a good thing that Mica was holding her, otherwise she might not have been able to stop herself from slipping down the pavement.

"No more time, Rossana, we're here."

"Oh, where's the bridesmaid?" said the gay who arranges the bridesmaids.

"Oh, they call you, Mica."

"Yes, I'll leave you alone. Don't trip while you're walking." She reminded her.

"I hope so, Mica, but I'll try to handle it so I can finish pretending."

In Rossana's mind, when the groom sees that she is not the woman he will marry. He will scream "Get out Now!" so that she can leave immediately. She hope that will happen to her later.

When the bridesmaids finished walking, with Sherry father. They are started walking towards the groom you can see in his eyes that he was happy, waiting for his bride.

Rossana's trepidation was triple. Her leg was shaking a bit, but she was trying to control herself not to give in. It would be difficult later.

"Oh God, I'm sorry for doing this I know you can understand me this is for my mother sake. You can do it, Rossana. You can do it. You are brave," She said silently.

In Mica's position, she was restless. "Just relax, Rossana," she said, but she was trembling. She braced herself, knowing that when he kissed the bride, there would undoubtedly be a storm signal number 10. She took a deep breath. The person next to her even looked at her because he heard her sigh. She just smiled at her.

When Rossana was close to the man who was waiting for her, even though she only slightly reflected his face because of her thick veil, they really tailored it so that you couldn't see her face. She was curious about the man's appearance, even though Mica said that he was handsome. If he is handsome, why did Sherry exchange him for another man?

When she got close to the groom. Sherry father talked to Edward said take care my daughter and loved her forever.

Edward shake it Sherry father and said yes he will take care her after they finish talked the man immediately reached out for his hand to Rossana. Even though she was wearing gloves on her hands, Rossana felt as if electricity flowed from her palm to her entire body. "Why do I feel this? "What is that?" she said to herself.

Edward felt his bride's hand shaking, so he whispered to her. "You are shaking, honey. I know. You are very excited, aren't you? "

Rossana's answer was a nod because if she spoke, it might be obvious. And they walked towards the priest who was waiting for them.

Rossana's heart felt as if a strong storm had passed through signal number five and there was still a strong wind. You will feel differently if you do something wrong or cheated someone.

Before the priest started the wedding, he first asked if there was anyone who would object to the wedding no one spoke so then the wedding ceremony continued.

Edward took his bride hand he can feel it. It was shaking. "Honey, relax okay," he told her.

"Because I'm nervous," Rossana couldn't help but answered.

Edward frowned because his future wife's voice was different from what he had heard. But he ignored it, maybe because she was so excited.

Father spoke. "You, Sherry. You accept Edward as that husband, ready to bear all the trials that will come in your life. And you will love him completely and take care of him until death. "

Rossana swallowed. He seemed unable to answer what the priest taught her. When thinking about what Sherry paid her "I do, father."

Edward stared at his future wife. Her voice is really different. There was tenderness in her tone. Sherry didn't speak like that. "Edward, she just changed because she was too happy today," he reminded himself.

"You, Edward. Do you accept Sherry as your wife and sympathize with her through all the trials that come with your marriage? And love her dearly and cherish her until death. "

"I do, father. I do! "

"Put the ring on your finger; it is a symbol of your pure marriage."

Edward put the ring on the bride's finger first.

Rossana could barely put the ring on the groom's finger because her hand was shaking so much.

"Your wife is very excited," the priest said as he noticed the trembling in her hand.

"Yes, father," Edward replied with a smile, but he was looking at his bride and he was thinking because of her strange movements.

"She doesn't seem like Sherry. She's not like that when she's excited. And why does her veil seem so thick? I can't see her face. " Edward said to himself.

"Edward, you can kiss your wife because from this day you will be husband and wife through thick and thin. You may now kiss the bride. "

Rossana was holding her chest. "My God, here it is!"

Edward's smile was wide. when he touched his wife's veil.

Mica closed her eyes. If only they could all be frozen so that Edward could not continue and make Rossana's veil rise.

Edward lifted his wife's veil.

Rossana closed her eyes because she didn't want to see the reaction or anger on the man's face.

The smile on Edward's lips disappeared when he saw the face of the woman he told I DO. And a fierce anger registered on his face.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" Edward asked the woman angrily.
