THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

The Proxy Bride. Chapter 2



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

“Pa, what did you do?” She still asked her father.

The gentleman started crying. “A-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 the father, but what he did was still wrong. “Pa, 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.”

Even though the father said that, she is a daughter who loves her parents. I can’t ignore you Pa. 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.

Rossana just sobbed, wiped her wet cheeks, and took a deep breath.

“I can do this. Lord, I want to scream. Can I? Because I feel so heavy here.” She hold her chest as if sympathizing with her,  suddenly hit her face with a strong wind. That’s why she began to shout loudly. “Ahhh! She shouted over and over, “I can do this!” She didn’t care about the people around her.

When she felt that she was okay, Rossana decided to go back to the hospital because she was needed there.

“She had a big problem, right?” Sherry said.

“Yes, I just heard her crying a while ago, maybe because of the weight of the problem she was facing,” Felix said.

“I want to talk to her, Felix. Maybe I can help her.”

“Sure, she’s coming here.”

Rossana walked quietly, and suddenly, someone greeted her.

“Hi—” Sherry said with a smile to the woman walked in front of them.

Rossana looked around to see if there was anyone else, but she didn’t see anyone else passing by but her.

“Was I the one you said hi to, miss?” She asked.

“Yes, it’s you. Come here?” Sherry’s wave to the girl

“Huh? Why? We don’t know each other, do we? ” She didn’t come any closer to the woman.

Sherry approached Rossana. Well, I’m Sherry, and my boyfriend, Felix, and you are?”

She didn’t hesitate to say her name. It’s just a name. “I’m Rossana Luna,” she answered.

“So, we know each other now, right. Can we talk?”

“Why do you want to talk to me about what?”

“Well, not for me, maybe for you. Felix and I can see that you seem to have a problem, not just a problem. I think it’s even heavier. I just thought we might be able to help you. That is why I am greeting you.”

“Sherry is right, Rossana, tell us your problem. Maybe we can help you, even if it’s just a little,” Felix said.

Rossana is having second thoughts if she tells the truth to the two. Maybe they’re a scam nowadays; it’s not far off even if they don’t look like it because they’re rich, especially the women. But she doesn’t think so, and her insight is that maybe they are just being kind or maybe they are the ones who can help her. Did she tell God what to do to solve her problem? Maybe they are the answer.

“Come sit here next to me.” Sherry invited Rossana.

Rossana hesitated if she would follow what she said. They say, don’t talk to strangers.

“Alright, there’s nothing wrong if you tell us what your problem is, right? Maybe we can help you. ” “And don’t worry, we are not bad people,” Sherry assured.

Even though Rossana feels that way, she really has doubts. She looked at the two.

The couple looked at each other because she was still standing in front of them.

“It’s okay, Rossana, if you don’t trust us, you can leave. “Sorry for the disturbance,” Sherry said.

Sherry thought the woman was leaving. But she didn’t, and she walked closer and sat next to her.

The couple were smiling at what she did.

“What’s your problem, Rossana?” Sherry immediately asked.

“I don’t want to twist my words. After all, you are the ones who offered your help, right? ”

“Yes, okay, tell us, Rossana, we are listening.” Sherry said.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Rossana took a deep breath first and then looked at the woman.

Sherry nods to Rossana as if she says, “It’s okay, take your time and relax yourself.”

“My mother is in the hospital right now; she needs to be operated on soon. My father is in jail. “Because he wanted to help, he found a way, but in the wrong way, so he ended up in prison. I can’t do everything. I’m just a humble waitress. “What’s more painful is that I no longer have a job,” she explained.

“So, your problem is money.” Felix said.

Rossana nodded.

Sherry and Felix looked at each other again, and their eyes were talking.

“How much do you need, Rossana?”

Rossana stared at Sherry. She didn’t expect her to offer her right away.

“I’m not joking, Rossana. Tell me, maybe I can give you what you need. ”

She wants it, and grace is already in front of her, and nothing will be lost if she says so. “One hundred fifty thousand!”

“It’s a little thing, Rossana. It’s not even a million. I will give you that money. But there is a trade-off. In this day, no one just gives money, right? ”

She nodded. She understood what she meant. “What in return?”

“We will talk about that but not here.”She took something in her bag.”Here is my calling card. Call me tomorrow, then I will give you the money.”

Rossana’s mind suddenly doubted her. It’s all that easy. ” Wait a minute, maybe what you’re asking me is to do a bad thing. Tell me now. Even if I really need the money, I won’t do it. ”

Sherry smiled. “Rossana, do I look like my boyfriend is doing bad things? Don’t worry, we are not bad people if that’s what you think of us. We are just human beings that are falling in love with each other. ”

“Sherry, today doing bad things isn’t presented by looks. A handsome man can be a killer who’s also a rapist.”

The two agreed with what she said. ” Well you’re right Rossana, but I’m not or my boyfriend does something bad. Sherry smiled. “Go back to the hospital; tomorrow the money you needed is in your palm,” she said.

“Alright, thank you,” Rossana just said.

“Don’t say thank you first, Rossana, because we don’t have a deal yet,” Sherry replied.

Rossana nodded and left.

When the couple could no longer see Rossana “Sherry, what do you plan to do with her?” Felix immediately asked.

“Do you love me, Felix?”

“What kind of question is that, Sherry? Yes, I love you. But you’re going to marry someone, and who am I to compare to the man you’re going to marry? ”

“I’ve made up my mind, Felix.”

“Deciding what, Sherry?” Felix said, with surprise.

“That I’m not going to marry, Edward.”

“What? How do you do it? Isn’t it true that everything has been planned and you’re just waiting for the day when you and Edward will marry?

“Yes, but I love you more. And I’m happier when you’re with me, like now. I’m so happy, Felix. ” She said passionately.

Felix embraced Sherry. “So, you’re not going to continue your wedding with Edward.” Is that so, Sherry?

“It’ll be continued, Felix. But I’m not the bride, but Rossana. ”

“So, is that your plan for her?”

“Yes, Felix!”

“Will she accept what you want to happen, Sherry?”

“I hope so, Felix. But I feel that she will be accepted because she needs money. “Life is the reward for what she will do.”

“You’re really smart, Sherry. You thought of it right away. ”

Sherry hugged her man tightly. “I love you, Felix.” She will go to any length to be with her boyfriend.

“I love you too, Sherry.” He smiled.
