Doctor Ella Love Story
76. Kartika Pradana's

Linggar and Kartika walked hand in hand to their table. Join and sit together in the chair opposite Ella and Mahes. Makes Ella hotter and cold and her heart beats dag dig dug.

Mahes immediately stood up from his chair, kissing Kartika's hand and greeting Linggar to greet them. While Ella was still sitting stiff and silent, too nervous to react and just say hello.

"Lho Mahes has a girl? How was he never known to the family?" Kartika asked probing, turning her gaze from Mahes to Ella. Maybe he was a little surprised how I'd seen that girl, but where was it? Moreover, the girl continued to bow her head daritadi, making Kartika unable to see clearly the face of the girl.

"Not budhe. This is Ella, Ardi's girl." Mahes immediately opened Ella's identity openly. Little wonder also how Kartika could not recognize Ella.

"Yes mama how the hell, cook forget about Ella?" Linggar. The man was smiling and excited to see Ella again. While Ella awkwardly could only nod politely to greet Kartika.

"Oh so if Ardi no longer exists you can go with Mahes as a backup? You wanjen chick. Pinter, did you choose a guy? Or are you deliberately targeting rich men like them?" Kartika looked at Ella getting sharper. His eyes were like lasers that could pierce and hollow out Ella's body. Make Ella's guts shrivel even more, not daring to answer.

"What the fuck is that talking about?" Linggar did not like his mother's rude remarks to Ella. Too far-fetched and unreasonable. Linggar knew very well Ella was not a woman as her mother alleged.And again, however Mahes was Ardi's cousin, their relationship was quite familiar. Where could Mahes dare to do anything to his sister's girl.

"There's another theme, budhe. The plates are still there too. We are not alone, besides Ella is now my junior sister PPDS. So we just went out to eat together as fellow residents." Mahes tried to explain.

Ardi had indeed told Mahes that his relationship with Ella was still hindered by blessing. Mahes himself also knew that Ardi's mother did not like Ella. Even at the birthday party at that time, Kartika had betrothed Ardi with Sari, his sister. The matchmaking that seemed haphazard and sudden, probably only meant to break Ella's heart?

But still Mahes didn't think Mama Ardi could be that bad to Ella. How unhappy was Kartika with her son's lover? Pity Ella donk if treated like this continues?

"Classman? You going to college again?" Kartika asked again in astonishment. I can't believe what he just heard. How could this little girl be so brave against him? Instead of fighting to get her blessing and become Ardi's wife. This girl was even impressed to hit the war drums to fight against her. Affirming that Ella will not want to give up her profession, nor for the sake of being able to marry Ardi.

"Ella Remain in PPDS Internal Medicine, Budhe. Ella's really cool, she's a very smart girl." Mahes again explained, a little promoting Ella, to improve the image of the girl in front of Kartika.

Kartika snorted and exhaled loudly. Seemed very upset by the reality he had just heard. "Ling over, Mahes can you please leave us a moment? I want to talk to Ella." Kartika asks Mahes and Linggar to leave them alone.

Linggar immediately stood up from his chair according to his mother's request. While Mahes was still hesitant, he felt cutthroat and could not bear to leave Ella alone with Budhenya. Moreover, he saw Ella's face was pale and her body trembled so afraid she faced Kartika.

Ella raised her face and nodded steadily to Mahes as an agreement. As a sign that he'll be fine. Mahes left Ella alone to face Kartika Pradana. While he followed Linggar, he moved to another chair and ordered food and drinks for them.

"Why are you going to school again?" Kartika asked in a sharp tone after sitting alone with Ella.

"I want to improve my quality. So that I can be worthy and in line with the Ardi mas. So that I and Mas Ardi can coexist with the equivalent." Ella answered, raised her face and ventured to look at Kartika's face and eyes. It was not the defiant and brash gaze he gave. But a gentle gaze with a smile spread on her lips. Ella just wants to show that she is strong, fearless and weak in front of Kartika.

"You want to align yourself with Ardi? Don't dream of you!"

"If the matter of possessions maybe I won't be able to. But I can still hope for the title and prestige that I can fight for." Ella explained her point.

"How long is the study in Internal Medicine PPDS?"

"About six semesters."

"Three years?" kartika's voice rose to find out how long it took Ella to complete her study. How could Ella possibly want to delay for three years to be able to unite with Ardi? Three years is not a short time.

"It's ideal. It could be less or more."

"No I dare not expect too high..." Ella answered. "It's up to Mas Ardi and the Pradana family. Absolute decision in your hands."

"Why are you so stubborn? Why are you so insistent? Doesn't that mean you're under Ardi? Should your positions be level?"

"I don't want Ardi to fight. It doesn't seem fair to him. I also want to fight with him to achieve our dreams together."

"The woman's blood remains under the man. You have to remember that. Even after marriage will be the man who will lead the household and the woman who will be his support." Kartika still cannot understand Ella's way of thinking.

There are so many girls out there vying to be Ardi Pradana's wife. When most girls want to do anything to be with their son. Ella was not willing to fight for Ardi. Unwilling to carry out the only conditions put forward for him. Only one condition, they just want Ella to stop working.

According to Kartika the girl before him is too selfish and ambitious as a woman. Ella seemed to have no thought at all about her duties and obligations as her son's future wife. This girl was impressed just thinking about her career and profession. How could she be Ardi's wife?

"I know that as a woman, as a wife, I have to obey what my husband says. And the problem I can work or not after marriage, it's an absolute decision that my husband has to make. And it must also be with my own consideration as his wife." Ella paused for a moment, taking a breath.

"I can't accept if someone else interferes with our family's internal decisions. Not even the family of my own husband." Ella explains her uneg-unegnya about the Ardi family who felt too meddling in the affairs of their son.

"But still Ardi as a child can not oppose our decision just like that. Especially my decision as his mother." Kartika is getting emotional for Ella.

"You're right, lady of Kartika Pradana." Ella deliberately emphasizes the mistress's appearance on Kartika. "I am also fully aware that a boy is forever the property of his mother. And I will not mind and hinder my husband later to serve his parents. Especially to his mother."

"But it is also very hopeful that my husband will be able to separate his responsibilities as a son from his parents. And where is his responsibility as a husband of his wife. As the head of the family that I have to make a living role model later." Ella ended her speech with a little dramatic.

Kartika was silent this time. Didn't expect Ella to be so bold as to argue with him, with her finely-tuned words. Not getting carried away with emotions and blaming her too much. And again come to think of it, everything this girl said was so weighty, logical and very in accordance with the science of religion. Inevitably Kartika must admit that Ella is really a very smart girl. Ardi is in love, infatuated, and dead love for the girl.

"We don't want to interfere in the household affairs of our children later. We just want to make sure everything is going on the right track. Because there are too many unwritten rules in our family." Kartika explains the patriarchal rules and culture that are still firmly adhered to by their families.

"I know." replied Ella briefly this time.

"So what are you going to do now? Your relationship has broken. Can't be taken anywhere else if it keeps this up." Kartika reminds Ella.

"You're right.." once again Ella can only resign.

"What if I still can't accept you as Ardi's companion?" Kartika asked a question that was like a bolt of lightning striking Ella's body. Blaring and making himself stung, numb and unable to react for a while.

Ella was silent, biting her lower lip. It's not that he doesn't know what answer to say. It was not that he could not think of the right answer to this question. But because there is only one answer to this question. The answer is too bitter and painful to say.

"I'm going to give up." said Ella.
