My Chosen Man's

Accepted but not valid

...M.Y.C.H.O.S.E.N.A.N....

"Erlang." said Elena while covering her mouth with both palms. Looking around, many people were looking towards them. There are even those who take out their phones to capture this moment.

Elena looked back at Erlang who was waiting for an answer from her.

"Tell me if you want Elle" said Erlang once more. Implied a deep expectation from his gaze.

"Yes Erlang, I want to, very very very willing" Elena said as she nodded her head.

There was a smile on Erlang's lips when he heard Elena's reply. He immediately took the ring from the red box and pinned it on Elena's ring finger. 

The ring with the gold one-colored gem was so fitting on Elena's finger. Out of nowhere Erlang knew the size of Elena's ring finger.

Cheers from the people accompanied after Erlang finished pinning the ring on Elena's finger.

Erlang stood up from his position and pulled out Elena's nape and cup, one long kiss landing on Elena's forehead.

I don't know what was going on around, which was clear Elena was closing her eyes at the time, feeling the warm kiss Erlang gave her on her forehead.

After coming down from the mountain, they celebrated the acceptance of Erlang's proposal at a restaurant in Surabaya.

"Congratulations Mr. Erlangga, Miss Elena who will soon be married" said one of the male employees.

"It could be you" said Elena who blushed.

"Thank you for being witnesses to my proposal" Erlang said.

"Together Mr. Erlangga, we are even happy to be witnesses of the proposal you can all vacation" said one of the other employees while shaking his laughter and accompanied by another laugh.

"Use only informal calls when you're outside." said Erlang

"Then we call Erlangga and Elle alone." said the employee again.

"May, but not for Elle. It can only be called by me." said Erlang while proud to make laughter employees.

"Call Elena alone do not need to use Mom if it is outside the office." said Elena then replied nod by the employees.

They eat by ordering a lot of food there. Not feeling the day is getting late, they decided to return to the villa because tomorrow afternoon they have to go home to Jakarta.

"Thank you Elle for accepting me" Erlang said, holding Elena's hand and holding the wheel.

"I should be the one to thank you for waiting for me all this time. You also rejected many women including Anggi just to wait for me, and it turned out to be me.." Guilt was again seethed in Elena's heart.

Seeing the expression on Elena's face, Erlang pulled his car to the side of the road. The seat belt was removed and he positioned his body to face Elena who was bowed. 

Erlang raised Elena's chin and one hand remained holding the tiny hand.

"Don't feel Elle's guilt, just take this as a test of our story." Erlang said so calmly as Elena, quickly he also released his seat belt and reached for Erlang's body and hugged it tightly.

"Thank you" Elena said.

Erlang returned the embrace, rubbing Elena's hair that was being broken. Every now and then he kisses that head.

"But something made me curious" Erlang said between their arms. Elena turned her head and saw Erlang's serious face.

"What?" elena asked as she let go of her embrace while guessing what Erlang wanted to ask.

"Where do you know about Anggi, Elle?" ask Erlang who is still curious about it.

"Do you know.."

"No." Erlang said quickly while shaking his head irritated Elena.

"I thought you were asking with me Elle." Erlang pinched softly on Elena's right cheek made the owner grimace and rub his tiny cheek.

"Yes has continued." said Erlang again while taking the hand of Elena who was rubbing the cheek of the former pinch and then replace it with her hand.

Elena re-positioned her body facing Erlang while looking fixedly at the handsome face in front of her.

"Do you know it turns out Anggi is Mas Bima's cousin."

"Bima." said Erlang as he frowned.

"Are you still in touch with Bima?" erlang's question surprised Elena.

"Erlang, ever since I found out that Mas Bima was married, I never called her again. Besides Mas Bima's wife is my friend, so I don't want any misunderstandings between us." explained Elena. He tightly held Erlang's hand while smiling reassuringly at Erlang.

"You believe it, right?" ask Elena again.

"Yes I believe in you." Erlang was completely convinced by Elena's words.

"Yes, it's the road, it's the night."

"Okay princess" said Erlang while reviving his car engine and left accompanied by laughter both.

Today is their last day in Surabaya. Elena started packing her things then switched to helping pack Erlang's things. His heart seemed to flower after receiving a proposal from Erlang. Unceasingly he hummed ria while his hands remained active.

They headed to the airport using a car that Erlang had rented during their time in Surabaya.

There was not much conversation between the two, because they were too tired because they only slept for a few hours last night.

"Sleep." said Erlang when they were on the plane.

Elena nodded and closed her eyes. As Elena slept, Erlang unceasingly looked at Elena's face while holding onto the tiny hand until she too fell asleep into her subconscious.

"Elle wakes up soon the plane will land" Erlang said as he patted Elena's cheek gently.

Elena started to open her eyes as Erlang slapped her cheeks a few times. He opened his closed eyes slowly while returning to his mind.

"I'm sorry I fell asleep for too long" he said, rubbing his eyes and stretching back his stiff muscles.

"It's okay" Erlang said as he chuckled at the face of Elena who had just woken up.

Shortly after the plane landed at about 3 o'clock. The employees say goodbye while thanking Erlang and Elena then move home, as well as Elena and Erlang.

"Elle" Erlang said as they reached Elena's house.

"What's wrong Lang?"

"Tomorrow morning will you accompany me to find a gift for Lusi's wedding?" ask Erlang.

"Of course you want Erlang" Elena said as she pinched Erlang's nose.

"Where's the trick?" elena said again.

"His way at the Orchid hotel." Erlang said in a nod by Elena.

"Don't intend to go alone, I'll pick you up tomorrow night" said Erlang who seemed to know what Elena was thinking.

"All right." said Elena.

After that Elena laid herself on her soft mattress. Reduced fatigue in his body while returning to close his eyes.  While hoping that happiness continues to accompany him along with Erlang.
