I'm Not Your Choice

I'm Not Your Choice
CHAPTER 36



I gathered all my strength to get up from the sofa. I tried to walk towards the bathroom. I wanted to take a shower and wash my face. I walked slowly, I was so afraid of my current situation. so weak, different from what I used to be.


I chose to lie down in my room. For some reason I was still reluctant to sleep in the room with Candra. My head was so dizzy, I closed my eyes.


cring...


"helloo..Ma'am, I'm sorry ma'am interfered.this is us on the phone with Mr. Jo from the center. about last month's journal ma'am.."


"connect to me later. "


I closed my phone call. I just wanted to close my eyes. My phone rang back.


I opened my eyes, owh.this is the auditor yesterday.


"hello..."


"this mom I want to ask for answers, about the difference and completion of some files.Same this ma'am can be helped photos from third-party invoices......"


"Sir, when you check our place is two weeks. do you still lack time to find yourself what you need? one more thing, you came ten! the time of exit meeting is also conveyed by the chairman of the father, if there is no need for communication or questions about the audit after this. if you want, please take yourself to our office. I don't have time to photograph or photocopy for you..."


"but this is my mother's responsibility.."


"you know! it's my break time, and I just got home from RS. So if anything happens - what with me. you are responsible, remember sir! my responsibility during your audit period.. It's none of my business. It's your fault you didn't clear things up."


I got upset and turned off my phone straight away.I put it on the table beside my bed.I closed my eyes back.


*********


"good morning Mr.Cheng..how is your day?" Candra shakes hands with Mr. Cheng.


"hallo Candra. look's good..."


"okay lets start all the deal......" Candra began to read out their cooperation agreement.


"okay Candra, about the deal.next week can we have dinner? with our wife.." candra thought for a moment. "alright Mr. Cheng." -."


"see you Candra..."


"see you Mr.Cheng.and thank you.." Candra escorted Mr.Cheng out of their meeting room.


Candra walked back to her study.Candra kept thinking about the vitamins she saw.


'Blackmores.I've seen Cristin drink.but papa also take the brand vitamin....'


Candra sat in her room.His hands clenched in front of her mouth, Candra's elbows resting on the table. 'it looks like there's something Elsa's hiding...'


Candra picks up the phone from her desk drawer.pressing Elsa's contact, calling. "the number you're going to, is off. Please call a few more moments."


"lt's...Elsa is dead her HP.." candra pressed intercal 5015. "pak Toni, what's my schedule after this?"


"Father free until night, a gift for Cristin I've entered the back seat in the father's car.."


"thank you, Mr. Toni." Candra turns off Intercall and picks up the black suit, as well as Candra's briefcase.


candra comes out of the room and passes Rani's desk, her secretary. "Rani, I'd like to take my wife to the doctor.all sudden events cancel until tomorrow."


"father's wife?" rani said, in a lascivious tone, the 25-year-old woman in a blue miniskirt and black stockings.The shirt is slim fit and shows her upright chest.


"yes. my wife. Elsa Nirmala." replied Candra.


"sorry sir, I just heard you call 'Wife' to the woman." Rani starts sneering at Elsa.


"you mean?" Candra looked at Rani and frowned, thinking Candra's face was less liked by Rani's answer.


"yes how yes sir.body Bu Elsa is short, fat too. ga forming body goals sir. and seinget me he also will lecture on campus what is not clear...try me sir.I'm sam...."


"sampe what?! with one thing Rani, once again I was horrified from your mouth.You said my wife like that. Never come to the office again!


the Denger of Rani! my wife just became a manager, by studying at college ecek - ecek for you. lha you? whahuh?


my wife is a scholar, assistant lecturer even level manager!? if I don't remember wrong, you're just a 4-semester lecture in Public Relations."


rani's face turned wry and pouted. Candra approaches Rani's head. "you're just replacing Ms. Zila on maternity leave. So don't be too much of a whim, or you I'll return to where I belong." then Candra leaves Rani.


rani's face was red with embarrassment.not what, many people heard when Candra spoke.


true to me, he rose to become a secretary, even though before her only an OG(office Girl). When Bu Zilla contracts and must immediately give birth to Rani who helps up to the hospital.so Bu Zila is indebted and asks her to replace during maternity leave.


but, apparently Rani has a big head.she forgets who she is and how to behave to her superiors and family. once upon a time Elsa ruled Mr. Toni rudely to drive home to Candra's apartment.


elsa was living with Candra. Candra was also angry when Rani came to the meeting with minimal clothing. Candra feels wrong to choose a replacement while Bu Zila. Good next week Bu Zila is back.


**********


Candra attaches an access card to Candra's apartment. The door opens, Candra enters and looks towards the empty sofa.no one, Candra turns to the kitchen.empty as well, Candra turns her head towards the empty kitchen, then Candra walked towards her room. Elsa is not there.


then Candra remembered last night Elsa was sleeping in the front room. Candra puts a suit in a special Capstock Jas in her workspace, as well as her briefcase.


Candra then walks into the front room.


tock...


there was no answer, Candra then pressed the door Handle. The air conditioning room immediately greeted Candra. Candra saw Elsa sleeping on the bed.


Candra walked in slowly and sat down on Elsa's bedside. Candra stroked Elsa's hair.


Candra kissed Elsa, whispering in front of Elsa's face. "I will blame myself, if anything happens - what with you Elsa."


Candra climbed onto Elsa's bed. Candra sleeps next to Elsa and Candra's left hand hugs Elsa from above her thick blanket. Candra closed her eyes, enjoying her time with Elsa.


The clock is pointing at 02:00 p.m. Elsa wakes up and sees Candra's hand hugging her. Elsa smiled sweetly looking at Candra. Then Elsa patted Candra's palm.


"Cand.wake up..."


Candra immediately opened her two eyes. At her sight Elsa smiled very sweetly. "Elsa..are you awake...?"


Elsa nodded, "you're looking for food, it's late. If it's wrong you said you wanted to see Cristin. She gave birth, didn't she?"


"Ah yes..." Candra sat down and slowly got up from Elsa's bed.


They are ready in their own rooms. Elsa was wearing a long dress to the knee. With peach color and beautiful leaf green pattern. Then Elsa put in the medicine given by the Doctor's daughter. Put her in her tote bag. And get out of the room.


Candra has been waiting for her on the couch in front of the tv. Candra's calling someone. But after seeing Elsa the phone ended.


"Yuk Elsa." said Candra as she got up from her seat..


"Wait...."


Elsa stopped and turned her body towards Candra. "Yes? What's up Cand?"


"Look El...tomorrow at night, you come to dinner with me can you ? I have a dinner with my new colleague. And he asked to bring each other's partners."


Elsa sighed slowly, "as long as you don't mind, and can also help you, I will help. I'm still on holiday, too. So I'm Cand-free...."


Then Candra approached me, and kissed me on my forehead.


Oh my God.so warm the touch.


Candra held my hand, then walked with me out of the apartment.


We waited for the elevator to open, then entered and the elevator closed. The elevator goes down to each floor until it reaches the basement floor. We got out of the elevator and my hand was still held by Candra.


We stopped in the back of Candra's car. "Cand..my hand?"


Candra looked at my left hand that was still in position in her grasp. "Oh yeah..."


Candra let go of her hand. Then walk towards the car's wheel.


I didn't pay much attention, I went straight into the seat next to Candra. This is the second time I've sat here. In this place, it seems that I will often sit here for a while.


The car was lit up and walked out of the parking area of the apartment.


********


They entered the parking area at the mall in central Jakarta. Candra parked the car, then opened the door for Elsa.


Slowly Elsa went down while holding her stomach. Elsa speaks in her heart 'strong, son, we walk the path of your father.'


They walk together, Candra embraces Elsa's shoulders. Look around at which stores sell baby supplies.


They finally arrived at MotherC's shop. Candra looked at the baby toy section, while Elsa was busy looking at the baby box section. Elsa was busy looking at the clothes and all the baby gear.


"What are you looking for, honey?"


Elsa looks back, "Cand.I just look. The model is funny and nice.."


Candra smiled, "believe El, when we have a child will surely come."


Candra approached Elsa, grabbed Elsa's hand and said. "When it comes, then I'll hang with you. Because, it's proof that God did bring us together."


Elsa just kept quiet and nodded. Then Elsa chose a jumper dress. With dino and car patterns, as well as shoes and blankets with ABC motifs.


Elsa then queues at the cashier. Candra approached and added a prize in the form of a ball consisting of 3 types. Rugby, basketball and football. 'A lot of Candra buy for Cristin. Will my son be treated the same tomorrow?'


Elsa shut up and stroked her stomach. Marking her child not to be envious of what Candra is doing.


"Mba, this toy please separate and give a card yes. Please also write Hendra Wiryawan's name."


"Good Father. I took the car motif yes to the card and the card paper."


"Okey, thank you." Answer Candra.


I pulled Candra's arm. "That's Hendra's custody?"


Candra nodded, "yes, Hendra didn't buy, so she's nitip me."


'Owh.from hendra, I was mistaken for Candra.'


Candra brought all our groceries. Then we entered in a Japanese noodle restaurant/udon. I'd love to eat tofu skin. I picked all the tofu-based side dishes.


When I started eating, Candra was like a dumbass looking at my meal portions. "Why Can? Are you looking at me?"


"I just found out I ate you this much. I don't mean.I see you eat gini. That means you're healthy." End with a smile Candra.


I saw my tray, a serving of jumbo noodles with 3 kinds of toppings and a bowl of pudding. "Hehe.iya I'm hungry Cand..."


"Eat El.." We started eating, 'where I might be honestly pregnant.'


We spent lunch in the afternoon. Then we went out of the restaurant area and headed for the parking lot.

"Chie..." Mila greets Richie sitting alone in their yard.


"Eh..lo mila..why?" Richie awakens from his daydream.


"Why are you dreaming? A slobbery?"


"Things mil...gw just think Elsa, you know? She's pregnant now..."


"What!!! Pregnant??" Mila glares.


"Yes.."jawan Richie said. "Kok lo rich worry. Lo who's ngehamilin?"


"Have a son! I just thought, Candra can apply as her husband standby. Moreover, Elsa's history, her content is weak and Elsa is hardworking.


I'm just scared, if anything's the same Elsa..."


"Chie..lo started falling in love with Elsa?" Mila patted Richie's shoulder.


"Ga tau Mil.yang gw rasain it, I did not sincerely see Elsa suffering. Look Elsa's sick, and don't know when I see her same Candra I don't like.


It was the same for Stella.....

"Richie.kalo Lo loves Elsa. Better you do what's best for him. Because Elsa is Candra's wife..."


"Gw knows miles. I can only keep Elsa as strong as I can and as strong as I can. Because Candra I don't think you're gonna let Elsa."


"Lho.not Candra just...."


"Mil.gw same Candra it's the same - same guy. And I know if a guy has any feelings about his partner."


Mila just silently looked at the green grass around her she sat down. Sympathize with his sister. How unfortunate Richie, already in stay gone wife and son in his womb.


Once you can fall in love again, you can't have that person.
