I'm Not Your Choice

CHAPTER 61

elsa's phone reads, from without number.are you let alone this?

"hallo..... "

"hallo... "

it sounds like cristin, "me who? I don't know." replied Elsa Ketus.

"already Elsa.. You know it's me. I just want to tell you first. Just be ready if Candra will go from you. You better prepare yourself and your child. because what...? I won't let her live happily with a woman other than me." Cristin said.

"hm... are you crazy as it turns out. You must already know how Candra loves me. Or are you the type of woman who thirsts for man's caress? so your husband isn't enough? it seems that I will say a little harshly.Go cheap women!" Elsa closed her call.

his face turned red. he really hated what cristin did. like a woman has no self-esteem.wanted 2 men at once in his life..

********

candra was in the study room, she sat down and read some files.it seemed like she was starting to think about what Elsa said.

something is not right in Hendra's proposal.

tock...

"get in!" candra said loudly.

the door opened and someone entered the room. Apparently he's Hendra, he's bringing cold coffee to Candra.

"ni Bro, let's get a little limp in my mind." Hendra put the coffee on Candra's table.

he sat in the chair in front of Candra. Hendra sipped his coffee and tasted his coffee favor that morning.

"thanks Hend... uhm.. I want to ask why do you want to use management that is definitely bona fide to manage this?" Candra looked at Hendra.

"hmm... I have ambitions Cand. I want to have a local hotel management that can go international. so mumpung gw dapet heritage, why not?" candra raises her eyebrows and shoulders.

"well I understand, we just don't have a basic hospitality. what's not prone? especially if in a year 50% BEP only we do not close.. " Candra started to worry about Elsa's challenge.

"that's why I took lo..! you can persuade elsa to help us. when she could see her husband destroyed. luglah!"

"so you benefitin my wife!? " the voice of Candra is rising.

"engga entirely Candra.. only I need bini lo to build our business. simple things right?"

"ridiculous!" candra said as she leaned back into her chair, she closed her eyes with her right hand.

*******

dindin clock shows at 6 p.m. Elsa sits in the dining room alone.

but his mind just wandered. somehow Candra did not go home. mobile phone was silent, not a single call came in for him.

'may my husband be okay.. ' Elsa speaks in her heart.

not long before the sound of cars coming into their garage. Elsa immediately turned her head, she wanted the bankit to stand. But her right leg arrived - suddenly cramp, she almost fell from her chair.

Candra came in and washed her hands in the sink in front of their room. Candra looked at Elsa who was moaning while stepping on her feet.

"Glam! you want papa?!" Candra panic.

Candra knelt before Elsa. she massaged Elsa's legs.

"already Can.. has been mengingan, I was wrong to stand suddenly. it turns out my legs cramp and pain.pardon." replied Elsa melow.

"yes that matter what - what now.sorry I came home late. I was too focused until I forgot it was 6 pm. I'm sorry also yes Els .. " Canda rubbed Elsa's cheek, then kissed her forehead.

Elsa smiled back.

Canda sat on his dining chair, he inhaled the aroma of Elsa's homemade dishes.There was soup and some other side dishes.

"are you all the ones who make?" ask Candra.

"yes, Mbok Yem helped me a few things earlier.let's eat."

they began to spend his food.enjoy the atmosphere of the usual dinner, but deep in Candra's heart he was very happy.

his dream from small, if you have your own family, especially at dinner all get together and share stories..

the beauty of wishful thinking - Candra's...

"Elsa.. may I ask your opinion. There is something I would like to say. "the voice of Candra is slow.

"talk Candra... If I can help why not?" Elsa has a smile with dimples that make her sweet.

"let's see, about the hotel.I just realized what you said was right. about the location, profit and management that will take care of it." candra breathed her heavy breath.

"yes. continues? " Elsa folded her hands on the table, and she was intrigued by the discussion that night.

"i learned everything this afternoon and then I thought, why don't I ask you. You're more experienced than I am. Then how can you beat me up?"

"no." replied Elsa firmly.

"why Els?!" candra's voice is rising.

"help you or help Hendra? you tau? your location belongs to the Cristin extended family.You start a business on land that is still a family dispute.

where do I know that? there's the internet that's giving me a clue.. "

"what? it's silly darling.where maybe Cristin will bother me. She's already with her husband there.we're here, which I love is also just you. " replied Candra straightforwardly and quickly.

he still can't believe cristin still has anything to do with this, but if it does belong to his family, eating Candra could fail a second time.

"youknow? that cheap lady even called me a few times, she looked for you and said what try? he wants us to separate.

as long as you're together, does he take any drugs that damage his brain? or is his soul really sick?!" elsa's breath became heavy.

deep in his heart how angry he was with the situation.it was always the woman who became a bully.

"ok I'll obey you. Whatever Elsa, now what do you want? whatever is important I don't want us to part. " said Candra softly.

"give me everything, you guys are the supporting part of the fund. the rest let me sort it out, I'm sure I can manage and buy land with the status of the dispute. give me time and help me to be my arm's extension during my birth... "

"well, I'll ask Hendra not to take any part except the money, but I ask that wherever you go be with me."

"deal! " answered Elsa.

that night they agreed to make Elsa as General Manager and Director for their small hotel project.

in Elsa's mind, this is the one way that she can. she wants to maintain her Household.If Candra fails, eating her pride will be ruined as husband.

and that time will surely come cristin. become the figure of ibl*s under the guise of angels. offering heaven and offering comfort.which eventually makes Candra and Elsa separate.

however, if the opposite happens. Candra will be successful again in one of his efforts.he can show that his wife is not the wrong person.not the wrong choice if they become husband-wife.

where fate and soul mate both of them. Candra and Elsa.

*******

"Elsa." said Christian.

he stood at the airport exit and saw the woman he had long missed.

"beautiful, even though his body becomes fat when pregnant.but his sweet ayu face remains.... Elsa you should be pregnant with my son, not Candra.... " Mary speaks for herself.

"sir wait, I want to follow someone." Christian asks his driver to wait in the parking lot.

it is not clear who Elsa met with, but they look close and many laughs are seen from the glass cafe window.

about 2 hours Christian remained in hiding and waited for Elsa. until Seen from the glass Elsa had stood up and hugged the woman in front of him.

elsa leaves the cafe. Christian stands up and holds Elsa back.

"Tian...?" elsa said as she rubbed her eyes, she felt the dream of meeting Christian here.

"yes it's me... How are you??" his friendly face did not change.

how can Elsa forget the friendly face of her ex-boyfriend.he was the first person to change Elsa's life.

"can we talk?" said Christian.

"ah... oh. can you, what if we had lunch?" said Elsa stamped - brick.

"good idea, come on. there... " Christian points to a meatball shop of sorts.

their favorite food meatballs from High School. Almost when eating Elsa always ask to eat noodles or meatballs. according to Elsa more able to give a sense of fullness of meat and noodles that she eats..

they sat facing each other, Elsa kept her head down, not knowing what made her dare not look at Christian's face.

"a long time ago El.. I remember we first started the road when we were made. we bought decorations for the evening of Art Talent.we ate Chicken Rice in front of my Langgan School. you don't eat anything, just drink a bottle of tea... do you remember?" Christian broke the silence.

Elsa immediately regained her senses and raised her head, facing Christian's eyes. Christian views bring their nostalgic nuances...

.........

"you don't eat El?" Christian stops the vehicle and waits for Elsa to get off.

"Tian.. We should be back at 11. This is it..."

"it's 9 o'clock, I'm lager, we'll eat first... " Christian did not care. he went down and approached the street vendor.

Elsa breathed out of her lips and pouted. she came down and approached Christian.

Christian prepares a plastic chair next to him. Elsa sat down and showed a sour face.

"you are not too obedient to the rules. someday you will be tired... " Christian offers tea to Elsa.

elsa accepted and remained silent.

christian is cool to finish his food.even he ordered again for his meal.

"i'm hungry, so I want to eat a double" said Christian, but Elsa was still playing games on her phone.

shortly after Christian finished his breakfast, he approached the seller and paid for all the food and drinks.

he then approached Elsa and said, "let's go shopping again, but smile first, I want to see the dimple on your right cheek.. "

elsa's heart seemed to stop beating.he tried to smile at Christian.

Elsa then stands in front of Christian, unexpectedly Christian kisses Elsa's forehead and cheeks.

"Tian...abashed?!! it's on the street...!!" said Elsa.

Christian did not bother, he took Elsa to ride on his bike.

.....

"hmm... Do you remember that simple rich thing? are all your memories always good with me?" elsa asked while folding her hands.

"yes, with just you, everything is beautiful and I feel like coming back and living in that moment alone." Christian's answer was steady and firm.

"cih..didn't you have to be married, you've been dating Rachel for a long time.if I don't count 10 years yes... " elsa's voice was half insulting to Christian.

Elsa does not want to re-solve in her mass. sick and very deep wound.should it re-open?

"perhaps if I could rewind 10, 20 or 40 years I would." replied Christian lightly.

"why?? "

"waiting for you to part with Candra. waiting to make amends to my mother - your papi. that I left you with ridiculous excuses.... "

they were silent and looked at each other. The waiter came and placed their order, but they both remained silent.

Elsa blinked her eyes a few times, holding back her tears from coming out.

"you don't ngaco, I'm married. I also have a baby soon.please Christian with your choice."

"what are you? will try to be happy even if you know that you are not the one in Candra?"

christian's remarks stop Elsa from taking her spoon.

then Elsa replied, "yes, it was my choice with Candra, although I knew I was never in her heart, I'm sure I'll be happy with my son..."

"i'll wait for that moment. although I can't run away from Rachel. but I can get to you. I can be with you when it comes... very deep..... "

Elsa glared and looked at Christian. Her tears dripped, but Elsa hurriedly wiped them off.

they also spent their lunch without saying a word, they were silent like people who did not know each other.

in Elsa's heart a lot of questions hang. a lot of want to peel everything.all the things that lead her to fear to fall in love again...

*********

Christian drives his white sedan. Elsa sat next to him, many smiles visible from Christian's face.

Elsa just threw her face into the car window, gathering energy to open the question.

"Tian....why did you split up and cut me off at that time.?" elsa said with a soft word.

Christian then stopped the car to the side of the road.

"because I slept with Rachel.. "

Elsa was shocked and immediately shifted her body away from Christian.

"What?!" Elsa gawked and blinked her eyes in disbelief at what Christian said.

"maybe it's the right time for me to tell you everything, so that my sleep can be good...... "

Christian took a deep breath and threw it out of his mouth.

"that time Rachel set up a trap by having a party at one of the villas here, but all I remember was a few others. Tommy, Victor and Kenneth. all chaos and break with party circumstances.

all I remember is that I only had a glass, but by the time I woke up, Rachel was right next to me."

Elsa was silent and began to loosen her tense nerves.His heart was carried away into a sad mood..

"Rachel presses me with our half-naked photo.he says he can spread it to everyone. And the impact if our parents know.

I was afraid El, because at that time your papa's heart was weak.I just don't want if until the photo spread he was the first hit...

so El.. I was forced to leave you. It is ridiculous for you or people who understand our story.

but this is real Els.and swear to God I never even touched Rachel... "

Elsa could only remain silent, and her tears began to drip out without her being able to control..

Christian was down on the steering wheel.he was also crying, regretting his stupid things...
