I'm Not Your Choice
CHAPTER 45
Elsa sits on a couch in Candra's apartment. He looked at the file box on the tv table.
'Women ja***. You're the cheap one. Oh my God. Where am I looking for fortune." Elsa closed her eyes while stroking her distended stomach.
he held back the crying that he should no longer be letting out.
******
Candra went into her apartment. He took off his pantofel shoes, changed them with sandals. He walked deeper and deeper, his gaze stopped on the figure on the sofa.
Slowly Candra approached, then to the left of the sofa, Candra half-kneeled. He stroked her hair. Yes, Elsa's hair.
Candra's touch awakens Elsa. His eyes opened, Elsa said "Candra.. Have you gone home?"
Candra smiled, "already Elsa.. Are you back at lunch? Are you sick?"
"No..." Elsa looked down again and looked at the brown file box before her.
Candra's face became sour. "What's Elsa doing, did something happen? And who's this?" Candra pointed to the brown cardboard.
"It's mine. I..."
"Elsa..what's up?"
"....." 'candra should I be honest?' Elsa looked at me in her heart.
Candra was impatient, she opened the cardboard. But Candra was silent to see the contents of the cardboard. "This?"
"Yes.I fired myself..."
"Tell me Els." Candra's tone became soft and she sat down next to Elsa.
"Today, Richie announced the transfer management. NGK no longer holds a single share. Except to give to Christian. With the ShiM group, Tian is the sole CEO as sole owner..
Then at lunchtime we drank chocolate at the side shop. I'm shocked by Richie's decision......
But whatever it is, the important thing is that I work with professionals.but honestly the point is not that..."
"Continue Elsa..."
"When I came back, the security chief rebuked me. That we were forbidden from going out of the office for any business. I may have to get permission from Christian.
I do not accept the reprimand, I think it is not rational, with the situation we also have other needs and business at lunchtime...
I walked into Tian's room.....
Cih..the ones I met 'they' were making out in the office area.."
as Candra's face stiffened, her eyes began to turn red. His emotions rose with what his wife experienced.
"Christian then finished their activities, when Rachel came out calling me jala**. It was my fault, I rose blood then I grabbed her hair and pulled her strong.
Even I want to rip his mouth off...
Tian tried to separate us, but I emotionally released Rachel and threw her towards Tian....
I myself touched on having the strength from which to do that. I went back to my room and I went home...
Now...I regret Cand..Where will I get money from? While my labor only counts weeks.." Elsa's eyes began to water.
For a moment they became silent.
"Don't come back, don't you ever go back to that hotel."
"What's Candra?" Elsa looked at Candra. He could not believe the words Candra had just said.
"Yes, I don't want my wife's pride on the stampede. Calm down El. I still have my deposit savings. That we can use. Slowly we rearrange everything..."
Elsa nodded, she then approached Candra. They hugged each other, and Elsa felt relief and comfort with Candra.
'my God.. I hope this is not just a nod, and forever God. I want to be happy in my marriage....' Elsa prayed in her heart..

"Eh, you why the hell, don't throw anything at that woman! Lo it's her boss! I'm your future wife." Rachel looked at herself from her compact powder glass. He does not want his hairdo and make up to wear off.
"You know, you're supposed to keep your attitude and your words." Christian's tone reinforced his dislike.
"WHAT! NOT WRONG? Eh tian, are you hinged? she's just a cute, stupid girl. What a polite thing to him! besides gatel is very much the same office as you..." Rachel spoke loudly towards Tian.
"Stupidly Elsa, she didn't trap me with vulgar photos. He also completed his education and sought work in his own way. He was even independent, able to live well.."
Rachel immediately glared towards Tian. "Eh.eh..eh, you're thinking of him! You don't tell me if you still have the same feelings, you want to marry me just like I want ya, you are...."
"i know! If it wasn't because you set me up that night, I'd rather still be with Elsa. I really love Elsa!"
"Christiani!! You.. you can't.. You can't love Elsa!!" Rachel came out crying from the room.
Christian just looked from afar with a hateful look. He remembers what happened 10 years ago.......
"How can you and I be in this room?"
"Here Christ is, we spent a long night. Don't do that, remind you..." Rachel was busy tidying her hair.
"That there must be something wrong with Rachel, I went last night with Elsa. Take her home from the hospital."
"Yes.then...you forgot? You pick me up and keep us karaoke together temen - temen. I still want your word last night that you love me and will be with me forever. This is the tape."
Rachel addressed the indecent video of the two of them. Christian can't believe that last night he was with Rachel and they did something inappropriate...
"So.. your choice is only 1.. want this wide, or......"
"Or what Rachel!"
"Prophey dear.we're dating and you have to marry me...."
.
"I'm sorry Elsa.but I love you until now.." Christian looked at the photo of the two of them in the photo box.
With white ash-ash uniform. Elsa and Tian's smiles were so sincere and happy.
"If I could turn Elsa's time around. I want to erase my guilt on you..."
Christian put it back in his desk drawer with their photo.
**********
Day change day..
Elsa returns the role she was supposed to do. Being a housewife.
Wake up early, prepare breakfast and go clean house. Also trying to market Rani's craft products. Whatever the money that goes in Elsa just wants her child to be able to live decent later.
Until one morning, though,
Tok.dok...
Elsa who was cleaning the kitchen felt strange. Who comes to the morning, Elsa washes her hands and takes off the kitchen apron.
He walked slowly and opened the door. "Papa??"
they sat at the dinner table with two cups of warm drinks. The fragrant aroma of coffee and hot tea that morning melted their atmosphere.
"Papa doesn't know, if you've stopped working El..."
"yes Pa. I want to focus because this is my chance to have children."
Om Joko lifts the cup and drinks his espresso. "sure it wasn't for something?"
"no pa...."
"Papa know, you are an independent and honest woman.well, you also know, if you come out because of the behavior of your new boss, not because wages are not how much but your self-esteem is at stake."
Elsa smiled, as if she had gotten a booster shot that morning. "Good Pa... Thanks for the input."
"ha ha ha...Well, my daughter-in-law, papa forgot, what about Candra's business? I'm sorry papa, if papa didn't help Candra right away. Papa just wanted to separate Candra from the woman."
"currently Pa.. next week opening her. papa come yes... oh yes, papa hear from who about us?"
Om Joko closed her eyes and took a long, rather heavy breath, and opened both her eyes.
"papa has many eyes. Honestly, Benny is also over the idea of papa helping Candra, but this time papa can not help materially. Candra's loss yesterday, papa who closed all her, he began to rise and you. Your business is also quite papa see the graph in the insurance Mr. Bambang. his insured value is large enough for new players."
"yes Pa. We are greatly blessed by the Lord.the fortune that this child brought for us also."
"ha.haa.. papa likes your personality.you are always positive and thinking ahead. oh yes, papa does not want until Candra finds out that Cristin...."
"what's pa??" Elsa has been panicking for months she has not heard her name in Elsa's life.
"Cristin parted ways with Hendra. However, papa does not know. parted or temporary, who you understand, Hendra brought a young woman on his company's birthday.but let it be, papa also should not tell the story.."
Elsa smiled sweetly, "no Pa. I thank you. This news is like news for me heart.."
"yes.. thank goodness if you understand what papa means. well, you seem to be enjoying a new time as a Housewife? I better go home first, Elsa..."
Om Joko stood up and walked towards the exit. "play to papa's house if you're lonely. Learn to cook with your sister-in-law.he's good at cooking.."
"hee.he..good pa..." Elsa drove her father-in-law to the front door.
"be careful of yourself and your baby. Papa wants your first grandson to be born healthy. Call papa if you need anything.just go in there and close the door.you're alone inside..."
"ah.alright Pa...Papa heart - heart. take care of health yes pa..salam for Mother and Hanges and Amel..."
"yeah..."
Elsa closed the door and went inside, sitting back on the dining table chair and looking at Om Joko's old coffee cup.
"Cristine....." Gentle Elsa speech.
*********
"Well, don't forget to invite the people around, especially when we open later. I beg you to pray for the smooth delivery of my wife..." Candra spoke to one of the female employees before her.
"Good sir. Kira - what time do we start?"
"When we study at 9 am, then there will be lunch and 3 o'clock all finished. Poor my wife." Candra remained focused on the file before her as well.
"All right, sir." Mila came out of Candra's room.
Kring..kring.(candra phone rings).
"Hello..."
"Hoo.huf...Candraa...!!!"
"Cristin? What was? You why?"
"....."
"Crist..why? What's up??"
"I go.My husband chooses that woman...."
Candra heard Cristin's story. How Om Hendra brought home a young woman who was much prettier than Cristin. Habits that cannot change from Hendra.
"Here you go, you focus on your son first. Sorry Cris.I have to go home... Elsa and my baby-to-be are waiting at home. Bye bye..."
"But.but...Cand..."
Tuuut.....
Candra doesn't want to repeat. How foolish he was to consider Cristin's feelings too much. Without Candra noticing, Elsa suffers even more.
Candra got up and walked out of her room. He confirmed the opening of his showroom. All seemed busy, until Candra saw on the main door of her showroom
A woman who stood looking. The dazzling reflection of Candra's sight. He approached the woman.
"Elsa? What's up, honey?" Candra grabbed Elsa's hand.
"With papa, I'm tired of Cand. So I came here. What can?"
"Let's go in, it's hot outside. Beware - the floor is still wet and a lot of stuff."
Candra takes Elsa into her study. He gives Elsa a drink and sits on a small sofa to make her comfortable. His stomach looks bigger. Candra gives a smooth touch to Elsa's stomach.
"Capek, son, come with mama far here. Patience, for our future."
Elsa smiles and kisses Candra's cheek. "Yes Honey...."
Tok.dok...
"Yes in..."
It turns out that Mila came and gave Candra the one to pay for the opening the day after tomorrow. "This sir, our shortcomings to the Vendor."
Candra checked and brought her files. "I check first yes.the money I give you tomorrow morning..."
"Excuse me" Mila came out of Candra's room.
**********
"Candra... do you know how Cristin is?"
Candra then turned to Elsa. "why El? I asked you about Cristin."
"engga..kuman I just arrived - came to his mind. long time did not know the news he..."
Candra squeezed the steering wheel of her car. "last noon she called me, but I didn't get so answered and responded to what she said..."
"......." Elsa silently stared at the darkened streets.
"i just heard it with a crying voice, but never mind, I have to focus on us Els...."
"yes Cand..I just."
Elsa and Candra stop at a Japanese restaurant and eat a bento box for dinner.
*******
"so. Elsa is not clerance? or exit interview ? it's been 2 weeks he hasn't shown up." Christian focused on the LCD in front of his face.
"yes, sir, I tried to call, but Elsa said she didn't want to come back."
"yes, don't pay her last salary. I don't want to know, he has to come here.." Tian pressed his voice.
"but sir, I did... Elsa who still does not want to, because she said it is better to be given to our CSR."
BRACKET... Mr. Zaenal was shocked and half-standing from his chair.
"you're out!!" Christian yelling.
Mr. Zaenal ran out of Christian's room.
"why are you so hard Els...."
Christian sat down and folded his palms together. "the point is I should get you. Rachel's no longer my obstacle. You're mine."
