I'm Not Your Choice

CHAPTER 49

Elsa gives a piece of money in 50 thousand rupiah. "Thank you sir." then Elsa got out of the cab.

"Mom.thank you again." replied the taxi driver.

Elsa was silent, she chose to walk into the apartment lobby. Elsa stopped in front of the guest elevator. His gaze stopped as the number above headed to L.

Ting... (open lift).

Elsa went inside, her eyes blank. He pressed 10, and the elevator closed again.

Ting.....

Elevator arrived on the 10th floor. Elsa walked slowly towards the front of Candra's flat. He opened the door and went inside.

Elsa looks at their wedding photo. Elsa's tears trickled down, but she erased and chose to go into the front room. The room that Candra had prepared for her from the beginning.

Elsa puts up a gift from Christian. He then sat on the edge of the bed. Looking out the window, it was dark and rainy.

The universe understands Elsa's heart.

Elsa chose to lay down on the bed. She must be strong and patient, less than a month is the time of her childbirth. At least until the child is born, he must be strong standing with deep pain.

Never thought by her would come back that woman. The woman who destroyed her household. Even the woman is also the cause of Candra bankruptcy.

Is that love?

Should it be a million?

Love is it that must hurt?

Diverse questions filled Elsa's mind. He fell asleep in his tiredness. In a very severe pain.

**********

Mila picks up Richie at the airport. Young tall woman with sunglasses and pink suit salem. He chose to wait in one of the coffee shops. With warm chocolate.

Not until 20 minutes, Richie also appeared. "Hallo my dear brother...." Richie hugged Mila from behind.

"Bad shit**, I've been waiting for hours!" Mila pouted to see Richie.

Richie then sat down in front of Mila. "Sorry brother, I don't know if it will delay up to 2 hours. You know, I've been using airline number 1 is still delayed."

Mila's hands clenched and propped her right cheek. "So the police business over there is done? Evidently not the wrong one?"

"Yeah.finally after almost 8 years this case is spinning. It turns out that Stella's friend who has been sabotaging our car. The accident itself involves Stella's ex-lover, I don't know, love can make people do things to people they've loved."

"How come? Stella's house has a lot of CCTV and security guard. Stella wasn't Richie's careless family either."

"Internal in our house is also the perpetrator, it's been miles. All have passed, the important Iw can prove not I'm guilty. And I'm not an Interpol prisoner anymore to report."

Mila smiled sweetly, her late little brother had been free. "Justice must stand up to Richie."

"Yep... oh yes, did the sweet one give birth?" Richie gave another nickname to Elsa.

"To my knowledge not yet. Om Joko also has not given any news. All I know is that they're now living together and Elsa...."

"He's resigned, right?" Richie cut Mila's sentence.

"Lo know?" mila is interested in her sister's story.

"Yes I know, heavy also for the same office first love who has left a wound in his heart. But how else, at that time I need money to open a wood factory gw."

"Here it is, after all, he is not who - who lo. why do you think." Mila is upset with Richie

"Well, can I care for him? I also know the limits of kok. honestly I also do not have to squirm Candra nyakitin Elsa. you know how Cristin."

Mila sighed, "that woman is more dangerous than a wolf. She was willing to do whatever she wanted. I still remember how she sold her innocent face to get her husband. At that time, Om Hendra's wife was healthy.

I also want to know how he sells himself.just lo who is immune to him. cih. stupidly Candra wants to stay good to the woman"

Richie nodded, "gw don't deserve this. But I believe Mil's karma. And Elsa can be happy Mil.."

"lo know? Candra went bankrupt because - because the mining business he and om hendra failed. but only Candra who bear all the losses.hadowin deh, so heart Om Hendra. but I know, that's a soul mate. his wife Cristin, his husband om Hendra. fit!"

"Revenue yuk..kasian mama - papa nungguin gw.." replied Richie confidently.

They also went home. Richie's driving Mila's car. Along the way they discussed the lives of each of them for some time did not meet.

********

Candra enters IGD room. He chose Cristin his best friend over Elsa.

Cristin noticed a red mark on Candra's cheek. "Candra.... Elsa gets angry until she leaves and on your cheek....."

"Udahlah, let me explain tomorrow to Elsa. You already lightened? I'm asking you to move rooms tonight." Candra can't tell me everything

Cristin clasped Candra's hand. "Please temenin gw Candra..."

Candra was silent, she confronted Cristin with a thousand words. He could hardly resist, but Elsa was also his wife.

Elsa survives at her side, thanks to the prayer Elsa isa can rise. But on humanitarian grounds, he wanted to help Cristin.

Finally Candra just nodded.

The clock shows at 20:00, Candra sitting on the sofa in Cristin's room. He looked at his first love sound asleep.

He stood up and walked out of the room. He was standing in the hallway near Cristin's room in the hospital.

Candra picks up her phone, she unlocks her phone. There was no message from Elsa.

Candra pressed down on Elsa's contact, she sighed and pressed a call to Elsa.

'Tut... tuut. He kept pressing the call.

After many times trying Candra gave up. Yeah, slumped sitting on the aisle floor of the hospital. He wondered why he was a weak man.

Kriing.

Candra nodded and replied.

"Hallo...how about?"

"Yes, he's in Siloam. Room 4-11."

"Hm. That woman can only run to your place."

"Om. Please meet him and solve your problems. I have a family that apologizes for being my priority."

"You calm down, I'll be there tonight. You go home. I'm sorry Cristin troubles you."

"Yes, um...."

Their conversation is over.

Candra went back into Cristin's room. Candra takes the small bag that Elsa lives in. Yes.the bag contains medicine and vitamins.

Elsa forgot to drop it when she left. Candra then looked at Cristin.

"I'm sorry I have to go home waiting for my wife. We'll have a child soon. I have to be on standby to take care of him. Om Hendra will be here, see you. Don't forget to eat."

Cristin just kept quiet and closed his eyes. Candra knew that Cristin pura2 was asleep. But it doesn't matter, for him the important thing was to keep Cristin up until that night.

Candra walks out of the room, she goes down the stairs and heads to the canteen. Candra bought a bento box for her dinnermate that night. His stomach was very hungry, when eating Candra rubbed her right cheek.

It was unexpected that today he saw Elsa so angry. Elsa the woman who always gives up and keeps quiet. It can turn out like that. His mind became chaotic, everything was mixed.

After dinner, he headed to the car park. He started the car engine and many times he banged his head into the steering wheel of the car. "Stupid! Stupid!!"

*******

Elsa fell asleep in the front room. His eyes were swollen, his nose filled with mucus that dried up.

Yep...Elsa was tired of crying and fell asleep. He did not want to see the face of his husband.

Outside it looks like Candra just came. He put his car keys and cell phone on the dinner table.

Candra went straight to the main room. He hugged Elsa and apologized to her. When the door opened, there was no one.

Candra then headed to the front room. He reopened the room door. Candra enters slowly, looking blue white baby box with a picture of a hot air balloon.

"Elsa.." Candra's voice slowly.

He approached the bed.

Elsa was lying towards the window. Candra took off the sandals and climbed onto the bed.

He lay behind Elsa. Candra's left hand hugged Elsa.

"Your body is cold Elsa.." whispered Candra.

Candra then stroked Elsa's distended stomach. Candra hugged Elsa tightly. Warm and very comfortable, yes that's what Elsa feels in her sleep.

"I'm sorry Elsa. I'm guilty, don't go again...." Candra whispers and kisses Elsa's hair.

Candra was closed, she remembered how Elsa used to go from her. Somehow, Candra was wrong. He should have made everything clear.

What about the contract that will expire.

Or is..

They will have their marriage properly with another couple.

*********

"hey ladies..wake up!" om Hendra came to force Cristi to wake up from her sleep.

Cristin opened his eyes.A bright light immediately greeted him. "want let alone you?"

"cih.... Where are you going?"

Cristin gathered all her strength, trying to sit down and see her husband.

"i know, I'm going to run anywhere, you're going to find me" replied Cristin lunglai.

Om Hendra approached Cristin's right side.

"Look! You should go home with Riyos. I don't want you to be that kind of."

"I don't want to! I don't want you to play honey mas. You bring your honey home. I'm a woman with feelings!" Cristin raised his tone.

"Ha... ha... ha.... have you forgotten? How did you come to me? When my wife was alive you kept teasing me, forcing me to do it. Until you wait for my wife to die.you can rise to be my wife..."

Cristin's eyes were staring intently at her husband.

"Then... What difference do you make? It's the same, right? You want money please.but when I'm bored, take it! I keep making you my wife. And they're just my toys." Om Hendra is still trying to press Cristin.

"But.what do you have to do in our house? How did Riyos see him?" Cristin's eyes began to turn red, holding back tears.

Om Hendra then sat down next to Cristin. "Wait a minute... Would you prefer me to play outside? You don't like honest men. I took them home and played in the back room, so what? To let you know, I still value you as my wife.." Om Hendra's voice went soft.

"Do you know.. I love you a long time ago, and what you do hurts me... Can't you be loyal to just one partner?" Cristin shed tears. He no longer has the power to hold it.

"Come face it with adults. We already have children. I'm a grown man with treasures! It's good for me to play women. I don't even know what love is. All I know is....."

Om Hendra took a deep breath. "i married you, take responsibility for your life. We had children after we were married for years. And I keep coming back to you. I just need Cristin's toy. Please understand how your husband needs this..."

"......" Cristin just kept quiet and cried.

"Of course, I'll wait here. I don't deserve to hear my wife go to the hospital but I'm gone. Think about what I said tonight. One more thing, you're my Sah wife. Candra already has a small family. Are you not ashamed of yourself? Still a beggar."

Om Hendra then stood up and walked towards the extra bed. He then lay down and looked at the sky.

"Think what I said tonight. I don't like to repeat my words! I'm going to sleep, good night."

Even Hendra was asleep. He did not care about Cristin who was still silent and contemplating.

It was not long before Cristin decided to lie down again. He felt confused as to what he should choose. Survive this difficult situation or have to let go.

If he let go he could no longer eat. There was absolutely no money he would get. All her husband's words tonight are true. He can no longer depend on Candra.
