I'm Not Your Choice

CHAPTER 15

"mayo his head is a little raised. Jess hard to like the foundation."

I obeyed Jess, I raised my head. "this is enough?"

"now gini..."

I never knew the science or the lessons of makeup or makeup. Every day I work using only powder, lipstick, eyebrow pencil and parfume.

I'm resigned to my makeup artist and bridal. I hear she can always make the bride look older her makeup. But I don't give a shit!

It's Candra's choice, and I'm just gonna stick to it. Done it.

"finally..it's done.yuk.open your eyes..." Jess lifted a broom brush from my cheek.

I opened my eyes and looked at the glass. Oh God....is this really me???

"jess...you're not wrong is it really me?"

Jes nodded.."can I make a photo of you before - after? you're so pretty I want to do a testimonial."

"Well jess.take a change of clothes yes jes..."

 

*In the Party Building.

"welcome Mr. Adi.. I hear this candidate is different from the usual Winanto family.?"

"hahahah.you'll see" Mr. Joko Adiwinata was busy with guest colleagues..

my family seemed to be coming all over. It was obvious how evil they were and I started to smell the smell of evil intent.

"let's go deck, big brother, take you to the front of the showroom."

"good sister." Martha's brother who took me into the room. This should be done by Papa. If only papa was still there..

I walked slowly into the building where our engagement was. I walked in, a lot of people I don't know.

I can see the cynical face of the Candra family to me. 'low women enter our family'. that's all I can hear....

.....

we sat opposite Benny, Martha, me, Mom and empty seats. I intentionally empty. I wish papa was sitting there.

In front of me are Hangga, Vienna, Candra, Om Joko, and empty seats too. Candra didn't want her father's 'Friends' sitting there. He did not want to call and compare the woman with his father.

"good dear Ladies and Gentlemen, finished Already Worship blessings for both bride-to-be. Now we get into the core event of the prospective couple.

From the male family please time and place we welcome."

Candra took a mic and took a deep breath. "Good Night Ladies and Gentlemen here, I Candra Adiwinata would like to introduce my Wife Candidate.my future.and my current and For-all Spouse.

He's the...Elsa Nirmala, the woman I first saw was different from other women her age.We had met while in High School.but I did not think, she was very different.

independent Women. clever, plain and honest, which I find difficult to meet at this time.

Then with sincerity..

(Candra stood up and took out the Blue colored jewelry Box)

Elsa Nirmala, will you marry me? be my companion, love and love each other and be with me, wading through the household together. I promise to be faithful to you, and I will not make you hard and cry..."

I was stunned.candra prostrated before me. What..what.what is this dream?

"ii.iya Candra Adiwinata, I am Elsa Nirmala.accept your Application.I promise to accept you for the rest of my life.and give each other happiness.." I cried....

The audience got carried away and started crying...Candra stood up and opened the jewelry box..

'the necklace.it's the necklace I want..'

"and.happy Birthday Dear..."

"aaawh.so sweet.it turns out the birthday of Elsa too yes..welcome Elsa, and now Candra can directly wear the necklace of the sign of their love bond together, where less than one stage more...then...

they will officially become Madam and Mr. Candra Adiwinata..

Congratulations - Congratulations....

well These attendees arrived at a simple Banquet from the Adiwinata Family.as a thank you and please pray from the audience for both prospective brides..please enjoy the Dishes Prepared by The Westil Hotel and Convention.." (clamorous applause).

Mc we don't know what exactly it looks like. Candra put the necklace around my neck.

snugly...Beauitiful...

"The cup suits you Els.. Use it, as you deserve, because you're my fiancee now."

I fell silent and nodded my head. "I understand Candra.thank you for this necklace...."

"i see you want this necklace so badly. So yeah, guys.

turns out it suits you. wear it always..."

I reflexively hugged Candra.."thank you, Candra...."

candra also embraces me. Whisper.."you're beautiful tonight, after this. I've already paid dearly for the extra appeal."

"i understand Candra."

And the party - continues.all enjoy the party, not least Surya.

'you should be happy Candra. If you love Elsa what if Cristin were mine.' Surya thinks his toughest rival in pursuit of Cristin has disappeared one...

 

*********

In the room, the room cooling temperature is installed 23 degrees. But these two human children, instead bathed in sweat.

That night Candra charged what was Elsa's duty.he did not care Elsa's makeup is still attached.

 elsa's party dress is also still attached, which Candra wants, she has to devour the woman tonight.For Candra Elsa to be so beautiful back then and make her so obsessed with spending the night with her.

Elsa wakes up in Candra's arms. Elsa releases Candra's hand. Go down from the bed, walk out of the room...

opening the bone-white curtain.letting the sun in. shone on his smooth white body like a marble stone.

a pair of hands coiled around Elsa's waist.hugged her from behind. "Have Woken Els."

"what breakfast would you like?"

"just look for chicken porridge. yuk..."

we took a shower and went out.

eat chicken porridge near GBK (Gelora Bung Karno).

"That's....!"

"eh pandu..enter noon ?"

the fat man greeted me while we were eating.

"yes, Els..Do you eat by yourself?"

"this, same..."

"Candra. Elsa's fiance.." Candra shook Pandu's hand.

they shake.

"Pandu..i am Elsa's working minister.Yeah live first yes.."

"Okai..bye...."

Candra and I continued our meal.I saw the guide directly avoiding us.

"we're back, right?"

"yes, start packing. You'll move into my apartment."

I was silent about finishing the chicken porridge without my stirring..

 

********

"Congratulations Elsa.you will come now.." Ms. Amel congratulated me when I entered the room.

"hehe..iya ma'am.amin.but I still want to keep working mom.."

"oia I forgot.welcome to Els.wedding will soon be.."

"congratulations.congratulations...

"yes.this necklace is also new.this is good yes.." Miss Amel saw Elsa's locket.

"iya Ma'am.this is a necklace from him...It's so beautiful, yes.pas with you."

I looked in the small mirror on my desk.

beautiful kah...

I still tangent what is Beautiful..?

 

I walked slowly out of my work area..

absences.and way out..

the air tonight is a bit hot..

"You are Elsa.." A young mother greeted me, I didn't know who she was.Of course, I met her yesterday..

"yes, I'm right.sorry who are you?"

"i'm Mila..sister cousin Candra, just came home? you work there, huh?" mila pointed to the Aryah Hotel.

"iya.wah happened to.ayo eat first with me."

"do it.makasih.i'm back, brother.."

Mila put her arm around me, "had gone sinah." I was dragged into the resto.

mila told me to sit by the exit.in front of me was a man Candra's age I think.

But his face was more friendly. The man was just focusing on his eating..

"richie...ini Candra Candra Candra Candra.how?"

the man raised his head, "Ooowh. You must be plain, uh wrong..Idiot..."

I went straight up. "uh what does that mean!!"

"Richiee..already.don't be a god.." mila take me a bowl and chopsticks. "you eat first yes Els. My sister really likes to talk carelessly."

"if you want me not to say stupid, marriage is not the same Candra. He's evil and ridiculous. His love is for Cristin."

I stopped eating my rice and Bulgogi.

"i already know about it. Candra does love Cristin only. I married her also know the risk."

Richie put the chopsticks down. "Yes.pity you.. meningan you are ready - ready. if one day you in stay you have 'reserve enough money' Do Not Like the late mama Candra."

"Richie..silently..eat! I brought Elsa here to eat, not to brainwash her."

Mama Candra.I never knew about her. When I was in high school I knew her mother was sick and died. His father married his mother's sister a few years before his mother left.

for a long time I didn't hear or rather, people around me stopped talking about it. They just kept their mouths shut.

"Thank You for dinner, Mila & Richie, I went home first.."

"sure.we don't just take it? it's okay - can we wait home a little night."

"No brother.thank you, I have something to take care of first....

bye...."

"alright..be careful on the road.bye.."

I walked away towards the busway of the Golden Tulip Stop. I walked alone and still imagined with the words - said Richie..
