I'm Not Your Choice

CHAPTER 16

the black sedan with the Audy logo stopped right in front of me. " Come on the spout!" Candra got out of the car and pulled me in...

"it's 8 o'clock when you're still on the street."

"sorry Candra. I'm back at 8 pm. This is even faster than usual." I threw my face towards the window.

"you saw Richie, didn't you?" candra's tone is so ketus.

"yes, I met on foot. Mila then pulled me over for dinner."

"You can't see Richie anymore! just can't. inget! you want to marry me."

hah..ga wrong. "seingetku yes..seingetku... if in our contract there reads.not limiting each other, and Not interfering with each other's affairs.

he's your sodara anyway."

criiiit.Candra ngerem Suddenly)

"i am a reminder to you! NEVER MEET RICHIE!! OR YOU'RE BAKALLLL.." I closed my eyes.. Candra has already prepared her palm to slap me.

"sorry...." Candra regained her senses and sat down and started running the car.

 

********

I slept on my bed, looking at the phosphorous stars in the sky.

I still feel surprised what Candra did earlier.why she was so angry with me.

What's up with them?

he said that sodara is very close, even they grow together.but candra looks more like an enemy when I say her name.....

Sooner or later, I'll know something's going on between them..

 

Candra workspace in Nusatower.

Candra picks up the diary from inside the drawer, opens it one by one, and stops at a photo of a group of small children.

5 little children..."Cristin..only you comforted me when it all happened.You're my savior.but why did you leave me with that Om."

candra's eyes were red, flashback recalled the moment Cristin stepped inside the monastery. Yep....

his Wedding Day with Om.om Hendra, my father's friend.

Cristin was in need of money after both his parents escaped bankruptcy. Cristin who must be responsible with all employees.

Cristin himself is not smart in school and looking for work.he inevitably married Om Hendra. old man who thirsts for young girls.Cristin wife as a complement to his social status.

"Don't be afraid I'm not happy.in this way I create a lot of happiness for my brother and my father's employees." Cristin is so beautiful with a pink wedding dress.

"this is not your responsibility Cris..." Candra clasped Cristin's hand..

"Promise' lah, you will accompany me around the world.we both pass every corner of the city, every park and eat from one store to another.." then Cristin hugged Candra...

then Cristin walked to the altar of prayer.he sat side by side with Om Hendra.

Om Hendra smiled cunningly at Candra.really, the unusual sight.they were separated by a long distance, more deserving to be a father than her husband.

 

"Els.are you on a hard diet? this shirt size dropped drastically..from no 20 to 12..or did I measure it wrong when you got engaged yesterday?"

Jess takes the shirt off her desk and measures back the waist and arms of Elsa..

"But everything looks perfect.you're so beautiful with this A-line white dress."

Jess backed off and let Elsa glaze.yah.

it feels now more proportional my body.My height is even only 159cm..

"isn't it nice Jes?"

the voice was as I knew it. I turned my head..."Richie's..."

"hey Els. You are very beautiful. have not made up already Beautiful.oh yes your body is too thin. Kuran interesting in the view.." Richie watched me from head to toe.

my face is flushed.."what the hell is Richie.." (try if it comes out of Candra's mouth).

"Richie.pas banger you here try this suit. it's a suit for Candra. The wedding is only 2 weeks away. But he hasn't tried this suit yet.I don't know where he went. Elsa knows where she is?" Jess brought a white Tuxedo suit.

"Huh.me? no. Jes.maybe he's again.emm..busy so.." I myself don't know where he is..

"here! let me just..." Richie took the white suit and entered the dressing room and tried on the suit.

a few minutes later...

"jess I took off her dress." I started to get hot with this dress.

"eh don'tnn...not yet the man came out. I want to juxtapose the latest gw masterpiece. will be good and perfect or engganya."

Richie out of the dressing room...

alamaac......Handsome time he..white suit with black Vest with silver list...

I closed my mouth with both hands...

I can't believe he's so handsome..

"WELL!!! really right.lo fit this Richie..standing there beside Elsa.let me make a photo for a model dress gw.." Jess calls Mona to snap a photo.

"eits.enak aja..pay kali lo moto gw. Endorse cake or what."

"quiet.gw pay for dress ato jas if you want to rent...haha.sama help me..."

Richie then looked at me, while tidying up his suit.."eh, here you ngeliatin aja. fell in love lo same Iw?"

"ih.what the heck.iya gw there!" I walked up to Richie.Suddenly - suddenly as I was walking.My left foot was stuck in the tail of my dress and...

Richie held both of my hands.

His left hand held my waist.I felt clumsy and shocked..

"sorry..thank you.." I bowed my face...

Jess is staring at us...

"e..lo gapapa kan Els.ini new dress I don't get broken.sama thanks Richie, good luck lo nolong Elsa.."

"it's a photo hunt..." Richie was sultry and disliked Jasson's idea.

Jess called her personal photographer. Jess does have a private photographer for her shirt promotion, she does not want a random hand that perpetuates photos of jess dresses..

an hour later...

"well jess.gw go home first yes.thank you for the help.see you next week.." I'm sorry to come home from Jess's place.

"iyah.makasih as well.lo make malem week gw ga alone. so I can bulldoze work gw also.kamsia ya..btw.cautious - be careful..

you turned back on Richie.he's a good kid."

then we looked towards Richie.

"Kaya'nya you know a lot about Richie - Candra.. can I ask Jess? why yes, Candra hates very much the same Richie. because I was almost in the slap Candra. pas she knows if I met Richie on the street.."

Jess was quiet for a moment..."Candra ain't no story like you?"

I shirked my head..

"hmmm...(sighs) they still smell sodara cousin because of papa'nya second wife Candra..Candra, Richie, Christin, solar equal Rena...

Papa Candra is so blind.Genesis, she slept with her brother Richie..

ribet right?"

I still listen to Jess..

"may I have not misplaced God the same story. But, you will marry Candra lo must understand first how later lo position.

continue because nyokab brother Richie was sorry...

mama Richie continued to know, if the woman was pregnant.then ask for divorce, pas Candra age 12 years if I do not get it wrong, when SMP is..

that's why Candra never came home to her papa...

mama Candra's heart is very fragile.after the separation of her mama'nya Drop..

Candra stayed with her mother, with a tight economy.because her mama's treatment was expensive at that time."

my tears involuntarily began to trickle down.A laugh at the feeling with the part of life that Candra had to go through.

"when the fall of Candra, Cristin.cuman he who want to nemenin Candra.the others.tauk on where....

then 2 years later, Mama Candra died, she was so dependent on Cristin. everything for Cristin.

Candra also had a first love, but since in the living died her first love, Paula was in a car accident, only with Cristin did she leave..

I thought they would be together. Don't know, Cristin even married Om Hendra...." Jess drinks Green Tea while sitting down..

"om's? About Hendra?"

Jess nods.."yeah..Om Hendra is Papa Candra's friend..Candra fell and could not help Cristin who lived to visit his mother, when they colaps.so for the sake of adek and all employees of their family..

Cristin would have married a rich widower without the child."

'it's just right Candra can't get away from Cristin.and always assume I just want the money.' I began to understand all my questions so far.

"For a long time after graduating SMA Candra moved out of the country. School and build from the bottom. He works as an OB at a hotel, works as a waitress until he finally gets a job at his papa's office."

"Wait a minute jes.when Om Joko is sick, Candra why it looks so dependent and obedient sm papa. even Om Joko even call Candra the son of Durhaka."

"ouh.lo that's plain yes, explained Durhaka's son, he never called his papa's second wife by the name of mama, mother ato mami. always call 'he' Candra has also never returned to her father's house since she was able to buy the same house.

at that time, I was not wrong. Papa'nya asked Candra handle one of the housing projects, cooperation with Om Hendra.

Candra gaudi, that's why she's Cancel all.

but the impact......Cristin so month - monthly Om Hendra..."

"That's Jess??" I'm getting curious..

"iya Cristin fought hard until she ran away from home.continue to get hit on the deck of the complex. Keep him willing to continue to work on the orders of his papa.....Your marriage is also your Papa's choice, right?"

"Jess know??" I'm surprised if Jasson finds out.

"obviously you know.I'm the same Candra family have been close friends.I was first shocked, sorry yes.you are a 'regular' woman aja.face, body is also a bit fat, equally sorry your family is also not a 'group' Candra and friends.sorry yes...."

I'm kind of heartbroken at Jess's words...

"it's true jess... He married me because of his papa's choice.."

"But.after I met you, I saw lo it was interesting. and I could also see your heart was sincere and kind...

gw inget never met lo, pas nyebrang bridge busway, you want to gandeng ama(old grandmother) who has trouble carrying groceries the same way..

I've also seen, lo many active CSR events in the office.because several times I often squirm lo"

"gw forgot jess..hehe...."

"anything.lo should be happy with Candra.ciptain it.happiness for you.

..Candra has suffered too much already.his heart has been destroyed.."

"do I get Jes...?"

"lo don't get discouraged! I can see how you can be the one who came to heal the heart of Candra that was destroyed."

#when we enter into someone's life.we also bring with us his heart'nya.he heart is broken or the heart is still intact.or we can treat each other's hearts - each of us...
