Elin stared out at the windshield of the car, occasionally the streetlights hit her face. The rest of the drizzle was still visible and imprinted on the car glass. Rey kept driving, not many words were thrown from her as usual.
"Thank you" said one word from Elin in the silence.
"Hmm" That's the only answer Rey can give.
But Elin didn't touch that. He did not pay much attention to Rey's attitude. Maybe even for Elin this was something she should be grateful for. Not listening to Rey's ramblings as her heart fretted at the thought of Arga being the best at the moment.
Rey who wants to try to hope Elin's attention feels failed once.even this makes her heart cringe.
"How long are you going to stay in Indonesia? isn't in Paris your job is so much? " Ask Elin.
Rey breathed.
"My assistant is there, and every day I can do my job from here. Hasn't his era been made easy? " reply answered Rey then explained.
Elin nodded in understanding.
"And about how long I'll stay in Indonesia... Not sure, maybe until all this is done." Rey continued to glance at Elin.
" you mean? still about our parents' plans? " Tanya Elin who was now staring at Rey was in disbelief.
"What do you think is my business in Indonesia besides that? " answer Rey.
Elin threw away her face. He folded his hands to his chest, and exhaled his breath violently.
"Rey... "
Elin had not finished her sentence. Rey pulled her car over on the side of the road and looked at Elin.
"Elin. come on. I don't really want to impose my will on you either. I also know you love Arga. But I just don't want to disappoint you, I hope you can understand what I mean" Rey said.
"Rey. I really can't, anyway why should I be Rey? why didn't Aunt Goddess choose one of your girlfriends who might be much better than me? "
"because there's something behind all this, Elin. And you never understood that."
"What's? "
Rey rubbed her hair violently. He didn't want Elin to know about this. But he also did not understand how else to convince Elin.
Rey really has no other way. Then he looked back at Elin who was still staring at him waiting for an explanation.
"All this has something to do with my Om. " Light Rey with a bad heart.
"I've guessed this is the plan, Rey. And my mom can't do much. But I still don't understand why he's doing that, and why match us up? "
"I know his plan. He wants to run the company of your late father through me. He told me himself, and he invited me to cooperate on this by marrying you first. " Rey replied with a bad heart.
Heard Rey's words. Elin just smiled wryly. He was not so surprised about the truth about his stepfather who wanted to run the company.
"So that's why you're so eager to marry me? I'll give you the company for free if you want. And you don't have to marry me. "sneaky Elin.
"yes, that's what makes me so eager to marry you. But not for Elin's company. I really like you. Besides, there's something important you should know too."
"What??? " Look at Rey really.
"If our marriage fails, Om Bimo has made bad intentions for you and Aunt Anita. That's why I pretended to side with her in this situation. But you can trust me, Elin. "
This time Elin was completely dumbfounded. He knew his father was behaving badly with him. But he didn't expect it to be worse than that.
"But I really can't marry you Rey. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept that. " Said Elin who now began to sob.
Rey paused her sentence for a while. Then take a deep breath.
"I'm going to divorce you." Rey continued, though her heart did not want to say that.
"really crazy. " Reply Elin as she hurriedly opened the car door, and exited her.
"Elin!!"
"Thank you for your good intentions. But I hope forget that shit.I can get this all done without having to do that crazy idea.!!!" elin said in each of his words. Then he walked out of Rey's car, and took a taxi that happened to pass by.
Rey stared at the moving taxi carrying Elin away from her sight. He cupped both palms on his face.then rubbed the numb face with a huff, his hand hit the steering wheel of the car.
While in the taxi, Elin cried without making a sound. Tears made the face wet.
"Sir, let's just turn around." He told the taxi driver. He abandoned his intention to return home. He showed Risa's home address to the driver.l, and the taxi changed direction to Risa's house.
πππππ
"I never thought Om Bimo would do that." Risa said after hearing Elin's story.
"yes, I also did not expect. about him all this time he looks like a father continued the Perfect once. But it turns out.... "
Timpal Echa who happens to be at Risa's house.
"Now I don't know what to do. I don't want mama why-why.you know right, Mama has heart disease." complained Elin
"If according to Auntie, as good as you do not act rashly Elin. " Sela Bu Maya Risa's mom.
The woman who was almost the same age as mama Elin was putting snacks and warm drinks on the table.
"Thank you aunt" said Echa
"Together"
"I mean aunt? " Tanya Elin while sliding her seat gave room for Mama Risa to sit down.
"His real aunt doesn't mean to interfere, but aunt already thinks you and Echa are like aunts.so aunty feels responsible for this too."
Manita paused her sentence.she seemed to choose carefully the words that will be spoken.
"Tante understands your feelings, but if the man you're betrothed to is well-intentioned as he says it, as well as you consider his words well. Because if you keep your heart and keep choosing Arga, auntie is worried you'll regret it, Elin."
Elin could only be bowed to hear the words of Mama Risa. Although his logic defies that, but only can not deny the truth of what was conveyed by the woman.
"But ma, Elin and Arga are in love. Now Arga is in a coma in the hospital. How can Elin do this to Arga?? " sela Risa
"sometimes we are faced with an impossible choice we can choose one of them. But shouldn't we end up having to choose, too? between two good things, there must be the best. " Answer answered Mama Risa with her maternal smile.
Then the woman rubbed Elin's back as if to strengthen the girl in this situation.
then he got up from his seat and walked away leaving the three companions in the living room.
"Elin. if I think, Mama Risa's words just now need to be considered." Echa said carefully as she moved to Elin's side.
"I'm afraid I'll make the wrong decision." Answer Elin lirih.
"You can think of that next time Elin. Now drink first, while it is still warm, then after that we rest." said Risa calming.
Then the three of them drank the warm chocolate that had just been served by Mama Risa. after that packed her container, then they walked to the room to rest....
