I'm Not Your Choice

CHAPTER 41

"For Ms. Elsa...didn't see you for a long time, healthy Mom? Can I sit here?"

Mr. Sandy came to Elsa's room.

He's bellboy's head here.

"Please sir, it's healthy for me. How's father? Healthy?"

"Alhamdulillah yes Ma'am. This I want to ask appoval for travel expend anter GM to bandung." Mr. Sandy gave an A4 size paper to Elsa.

Elsa accepts and reads them one by one. He doesn't want to miss one thing about work. Everything has to be perfect, let alone it's been two weeks he hasn't been in.

"It's Mr..." Elsa affixed the signature and gave it to Mr. Sandy.

"Well Mom, excuse me.Thank you..." Mr. Sandy came out of Elsa's room.

Elsa is back on her computer. All the work that was pending, making him unable to leave his chair much. The hunger began to hit, but he still had to finish this all. He forgot his hunger, he kept working.

"Excuse me.." tok tok tok.

Elsa turned to the door. There was a tian coming, he brought a package of food and there was a cup of drink. Tian walked in and stood in front of Elsa.

"I see from being absent in the canteen you haven't eaten. Your team also said you weren't out of the morning. It's eat, don't get sick again El..."

"This what? What's the matter until you bring this to me?" Elsa asked, she suspected what Tian was carrying.

"Let's calm, this isn't poison. This is lunch I bought through delivery. I just, want attention to you." Tian put down the food and went out.

Elsa looked at the lunch box. He opened the plastic, fried kwetiau and warm tea. Tian still remembers my favorite food. For a moment Elsa was happy, there was someone who was considerate of her. Although Tian had hurt Elsa's feelings.

'Thank you tian....'

'Same El.di eat yes. let his baby ga laper.'

'OK..'

Elsa put a cell phone on her desk. He opened the lunch box and started eating fried kwetiau. "Enak turned out." Elsa said in her heart.The baby in Elsa's stomach also likes the food.

Elsa took the pregnant milk from inside her bag. He poured it into his glass. Then Elsa walked out of the room and took hot water. The team is busy working. Elsa saw a wall clock at five in the afternoon.

How many hours he did not leave the room. While taking hot water, Elsa's waist suddenly hurt. "Oh..oh.." cried Elsa. He put his glass on the table of one of his teams.

Several teams stood up and ran to Elsa. "Mother why? How's mom?"

"What do you call the doctor?"

"Mom is sitting here, ma'am.." Elsa sits in the seat of one of her team.

Elsa set her breath. "My waist hurt suddenly. I don't get her cramping too often now."

"Mom, when my wife was pregnant. She felt it almost during pregnancy until delivery." Damar, one of the team.

"Mom better rest Mom. Kasian's the baby.."

"right Mom, sit down and rest, Mom, too, is still pale."

team Elsa is so worried about Elsa. they feel how Elsa's position is now. Mr. Zaenal out of there, the new GM made a lot of silly rules and excessive pressure from the board.

Elsa just silently looked. The pain has been somewhat reduced. Elsa stood up slowly and walked into her room. "Thank you, yeah."

"Yes Mom..."

The clock is pointing at half six in the afternoon. Elsa turned off her computer. His phone rang suddenly. Seen a call from Candra.

"Hallo..?"

"El.I waited at the minimarket next to your office..."

"Oh ok Cand.wait me in ten minutes."

Elsa rushes to pick up her bag and turns off her study. She did not want to make her husband wait long.

Elsa walked through the hallway leading out of her office area.

Elsa walked faster to the exit of her office. He turned left, Candra was seen sitting on the minimarket terrace. He used a maroon sweeter, blue jeans and navy sneakers.

"Goddess..." Candra rose from the iron chair outside the mini market.

"Hi Cand.. Has it been daritadi?" Elsa smiled, she could not hide that her heart was very happy.

"Cock.barusan sampe, yuk go home. But ride it huh?" reply Candra pointed at the black matic motor next to Elsa.

Elsa looked and smiled. "It's ok Cand.yuk back."

Candra rushes to pick up a white helmet with a picture of a doraemon. He gave it to Elsa, "wear this I just bought for you."

Elsa receives the helmet and wears it.

Candra moved her motor towards the road. Elsa slowly went upstairs. "Have you?"

"It's Candra!!" Elsa replied rather loudly.

Candra started running her bike. He walked slowly, his speed was only between 30 km/h. He wanted his son to make it to their apartment.

"Candra.eat there yuk..."

Candra looked in the direction that Elsa pointed. Warung nasi padang.

"Can...are you laper?" replied Candra who started to pull over.

"Yes, I'm a really good laper." replied Elsa. Candra stopped and parked near the entrance.

Elsa slowly got down and took off her helmet.

"It's hard to go up and down Els?" Candra asked while taking off her gloves.

"Engga.I'm used to riding motorcycles. Come on in, I'm a laper." Elsa puts a helmet on one of the mirrors and leaves Candra inside.

He chose to eat fish and potato cakes. Candra followed inside, they sat face to face.

"Where's your car?" Elsa started the conversation that night.

Elsa frowned, "Cand...sorry because I don't understand and understand..What are you really doing business? How to lose billions. Is there an agreement that stipulates that you have debt?"

"We are an oil and palm plantation business.I as a land owner and a company. Om Hendra as my additional financier. I borrowed two billion and part of it became a stake in our company. But. I do not predict that natural disasters will occur. then whatever the outcome of it, the loss can not be shared responsibility." Candra sighed.

Their food came, Elsa picked up the cutlery and started eating. "Let's eat Cand.." Candra stopped her story and followed Elsa to a meal together.

Elsa removes the leftovers around her lips. Candra also drank a warm orange in her glass.

"Cand..Well about force majeure is it the entry? And related disasters beyond your control are the ingredients for extorting your money?"

"That's Elsa's business, as I said, in our cooperation MOU. I didn't mention the loss because of it. Learn from it, I don't want you to fail me rich."

"as I know you started a business, I'm honestly afraid.fear that you'll experience the same thing."

elsa patted Candra's arm, "then give me an example, so that I can learn, be a fair businessman."

"either El, am I a good example?? for the incident, I do not want to wash my hands, I am still responsible with my employees. As much as possible, I still give severance to all. they even asked me to rebuild the company without Om Hendra. Because they think there's something Hendra's doing that's not good."

"Lack good?" Elsa is curious.

"Yes, they said that a week before his om Hendra had asked which areas were often flooded, or close to the forest. Then they also often hear the name Om Hendra as a cunning businessman. Whatever it is, I never look at Om Hendra like that. he is still a good and smart person.

(Candra breathed again)

he doesn't like me, because I'm close to his wife. Hahahaaa" candra laughed for a moment.

Elsa silently looked at her husband. This was the first time he had seen Candra laughing. "You laugh more interesting." Elsa said.

"What?" Candra seemed to hear a strange sentence.

"Ah..engga cand..continue to sell the car to cover which one?" Elsa asked, she was embarrassed by her reflex words just now.

"I sold my own company stock or more easily gave it all to Hendra as compensation. Then I owe you a billion to clean it up all there. Giving severance, giving a leash of compassion for the treatment of the victim.

But all was less, so I sold my car. Good thing my Land Cruiser and Audi can sell for three billion. So it can pay off Hendra's om and cover the shortcomings of the rest.

The money I have will be depositing. As I start working somewhere else."

I'm concerned about Candra. But I can't do anything either.

"Just calm Elsa, your monthly money and birthing needs. I've asked you to help me, if by the time you give birth I haven't gotten any more work."

Elsa smiled at Candra. "I believe Cand, you can succeed. Everything is finished but you still have a good heart. You are still responsible to all your employees. That's a tough thing Cand.."

Candra nodded and smiled. "Why do I feel so much easier facing El. I let go of all I can."

"Have you ever heard the parable of the Holy Lord seeking the book to the west? Empty is content, content is empty. In fact, we in this world have nothing. Everything is the interference of the universe.what happened is still its mystery. How we accept and live like we have nothing..." Elsa then smiled sweetly.

Elsa's words so jolted into Candra's mind. He realized, for years built all his business from Zero. Made him rich at a young age, counting everything from matter. Seeking what is gain, what is loss. Everything is done just to get a woman who, even, sees her as a man - a man who is financially established alone is not.

Let all his efforts be destroyed also by the husband of the woman. Makes her have to treat women as well as Elsa like a worthless item.

A few days with Elsa, make a bold candra. Dare to make heavy choices. Letting all his possessions go but he can still live and stand. In order for Candra to be able to walk again to the point she must run after what she lost.

"Diem's cigarette? Come home yuk Cand. I'll have a quick briefing tomorrow at eight." Elsa stood up from the seat and walked over to the cashier's desk.

"All eighty-nine thousand rupiahs Ma'am." Said the cash register keeper.

"It's.." Elsa gives money according to the nominal mentioned.

"Bag ya Ma'am, Thank you."

Elsa walked out of the restaurant. Candra follows behind Elsa. They got back on the candra's new bike and walked home.

**********

"Night I saw you riding the bike with your husband. Where's the usual black sedan."

Elsa turned to the right, "hi Tian, why don't you say hello?"

"I don't want to interrupt your romantic show. Sitting together like we were in High School." Tian teased Elsa.

Elsa gave a wry smile to Tian.

"So..where is that expensive, shiny car?"

Elsa immediately turned her body towards Tian. "So his kepo is the same life I am? Or do you like men? You want to know the car, husband I sell. I answered it."

"Eitss..eits... quiet Elsa..."

The employee elevator was open. There's some housekeeping kids in the elevator. They saw Elsa who was glaring towards Tian.

"Excuse me...." Elsa entered and left Tian who was silent outside the elevator.

"Lo don't ride Mr Tian? Late briefing you pay a hundred!" Elsa tried to remind Tian.

Tian finally enters following Elsa.

"Gini Cand, I have but car sales. I can't help if you work gini. I just open this showroom lo modalin gw big, cook gw kasi lo work like this."

"Ben.gw ga papa, I just don't want Elsa nanggung live gw and household needs. Please Ben.. I'll try.."

"(Benny sighed) Cand, the day after you got here at 8. But I hope you come to Cand. because I'm not sincere about kasi lo gini work."

"Ok ben.thanks a lot!!" Candra spit on her call.."yes!!! Better than I'm angry!"

Kruyuk. He then held his stomach with both of his hands. 'I've never been a laper like this. But what to eat, I if pesen eat, then pay for yourself. I have to save.'

Candra tried to look at the table. There's a food cover on the table. Candra opened it, filled it with fried chicken and vegetables. He opened his eyes began to look glassy, but the sound of his stomach was so loud. beside the plate there was writing on a piece of paper.

(Lunch, 6 o'clock pick me up. We eat together. Elsa)

candra's eyes glazed - glass "Elsa.you are so good.Even you have already prepared all this, even though I ask you.I'm sorry I was always evil to you El..." said Candra while holding the small paper.
