Giving Birth to My Brother
18. Refusing Love Galang

"What?" asked Elin in shock. He looked at Galang as if asking for an explanation from the man. Of course he was so surprised because he never imagined he would have a serious relationship with Galang. He knows Galang is a good man and is very considerate with him, but he does not have any feelings for Galang.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to meet my mother" said Galang who saw the surprised look of Elin. "So gini, actually I want to be serious with you, El. I don't want boyfriends, so I deliberately know you directly to Mama let you know that I'm not kidding."

Elin smiled awkwardly. This is not true at all. He sipped his drinking water slowly to reduce the uneasiness in his heart.

"Yes, Elin. It doesn't stop telling stories about you at home. He just kayak gini now you know, Aunt nyampe wonder when he will recognize the same girl Aunt," said Dewi. "Auntie is relieved that Galang finally wants to know you as Aunt. You've known him for a year, haven't you?"

"Yes, Aunt has been almost a year. But I'm the same Mas Galang nothing relationship," said Elin honestly. He looked at Galang unwell, but Galang was still smiling next to him. So he immediately continued, "Mas Galang is just my boss, Auntie."

"He is a gini, Ma," said Galang. "Maybe I have to fight again let Elin want to be with me."

"Tante want to ask you, Elin, you really don't feel the same Aunt? Galang has serious intentions with you, so, Auntie hope you will accept it," said Dewi.

Elin gulped back down the water. It's very unpleasant for Galang now. Galang is not a random man, Galang really has charisma and good looks that will make anyone subdued, Galang is also very good and well established. Had he not made a deal with Ariel and even married, he might have accepted Galang.

"Sorry, Aunt. But I really just consider Mas Galang as my boss" said Elin. He saw the disappointed look of the Goddess. However, he could not accept Galang's love. He knew that he was too good for him. She's not a good woman, she's like a paid woman now.

In fact, if he wasn't married to Ariel, he was just a child. It does not have a clear identity and origin. Maybe Galang's parents won't like it.

"Mas Galang can get a much better woman than me, Auntie. My parents adopted me as a baby, I don't know who my biological parents are and .. my background is unknown" Elin said.

This time he saw Galang surprised, as well as the Goddess. Well, he has memorized the habits of upper class people who often prioritize the status of others. He was sure, Galang would not get the blessing again to approach him. Better like this. Elin could even guess the gaze of the Goddess who was fixed on Galang as if it meant, 'Why don't you tell me the same story Mama?'

"I think I want to go back to the office right now" Elin said, standing up.

"Elin, wait!" call Galang.

There was a loud creaking of the chair, perhaps Galang stood up suddenly and was about to catch up with him.

"Groof!" Elin heard the voice of the Goddess calling her son. Well, the guess is definitely not wrong. The goddess no longer liked him.

Elin ignored the two of them, he went down the stairs quickly and pulled himself into the railing when he passed by several waitresses. Maybe it was the lunch they were supposed to eat together.

"Elin, wait for me!" shouted Galang while gripping Elin's hand. He catches up with Elin when Elin exits the door.

"Sir Galang ate with Aunt Dewi, I do not feel good if Mr. Galang kayak gini," said Elin while shaking Galang's hand. He did not want to call Galang by the name of mas anymore.

"I know you're upset because I had this meeting without talking to you first. I'm sorry," said Galang. He pulls Elin's arm and takes her to the car. "Let's eat somewhere else."

"I want to go to the office," said Elin ketus.

"Yes, but we buy food. You want a burger? We buy burgers drive thru yes all for children," said Galang.

Along the way until they lined up at the drive thru service, the two fell silent. Elin actually felt very bad because she had rejected Galang in front of her mother. While Galang thought he had offended Elin with his mother's attitude at the end of the meeting. He doesn't even know that Elin is an adopted child.

"I'm sorry once again" said Galang. He stepped on the gas slowly so that his car advanced closer to the drive thru booth.

"I'm the one who should apologize, sir."

He looked at Elin sadly. Elin even changed her call now. After he took pains to convince Elin to talk casually when they were alone.

"My father said, sir. I only regard our relationship as superior and subordinate, sir," replied Elin. That's an honest answer. Saying that he did not like Galang would only make Galang more hurt after he rejected it. "Why did Mr Galang suddenly invite me to meet Aunt Goddess? I'm not good."

"I really think you don't have a boyfriend or you're close to a guy. Mirna said you haven't dated in a long time and we. So, I'm serious about you, El. My feelings are sincere with you."

Galang stopped his speech because he had arrived at the ordering booth. He ordered some food and drinks. While waiting for the order and paying, he said, "On Mama, you are calm. I can definitely persuade my parents. My mom was surprised because I didn't tell her. I also just found out that you're not your parents' real daughter."

"Sir Galang does not need to be like that," said Elin. He took a long breath. "I'm .. I actually have a boyfriend."

"What's? You serious?" ask Galang surprised. He took his order and ran his car. "Whose girlfriend are you?"

"He's abroad" replied the original Elin, "that's why I rarely look like him."

Gnawing, it makes sense. He had known Elin for almost a year and thought Elin had no boyfriend. In fact, from the story of Mirna, he was increasingly convinced that Elin was still single. Elin is a person who is cool and cheerful, so it is easy to get along with others. He had been interested in Elin since the first day they met.

***

Elin and Galang returned to the office and distributed the burgers and drinks that Galang had bought. Since the conversation about Elin's boyfriend, Galang has not talked much more to Elin. Galang went straight into his room while Elin sat down and began to open her burger.

Mirna stared at the door of Galang and Elin's room alternately. He thought Elin would officially date Galang from today, but seeing Galang's folded face, Mirna was sure her guess was wrong.

"El, you are the same Mr. Galang ...."

"You don't carelessly talk. We are nothing and there will never be a relationship" Elin said with a full mouth. Mirna stood in front of her desk with a frown. "I don't feel good about Mr. Galang."

"You really refuse to love Mr Galang?" ask Mirna in shock. Elin just nodded slowly. "Smooth really you. Galang sir is perfect."

"Eat him, I don't want to. I'm .. I don't pantes for him." Elin drank the water. "I don't like the relationship between superiors and subordinates that turns into romance. Now, I don't know how to meet Mr. Galang anymore. She must be hurting like me, but I have no other choice, Mir. I'm not a good fit for Mr. Galang."

Before the time to go home, Mirna also took the time to enter the room Galang. He was quite curious why Elin rejected Galang's love. But he knew, Galang had long liked Elin.

"Elin has a girlfriend, so she doesn't want to be with me" Galang said, answering Mirna's curiosity.

"But there's no way Elin's got a boyfriend, sir. I never saw them."

"His girlfriend lives abroad" Galang said.

"But strange, sir. Elin never calls anything chat with guys. Elin never told me anything. Maybe Elin lied, sir," Mirna said suspiciously.

He seemed to think for a moment. "You know abroad has a different clock than Indonesia. It is possible that they have a phone and chat schedule at night. Come on, you go home."

"Sir, I'm sure Elin doesn't have a boyfriend. I've seen his cell phone, no contact with the name of a girlfriend, let alone a photo with a guy. At least the crew's children are the same as her brother Elin," cerocos Mirna who still does not believe in Galang's words.

"Lying or being honest, it's the same, Mirna. My love has been rejected by Elin for various reasons, I do not want to discuss it with you. I've been quite hurt," said Galang while closing his laptop. He stood up and walked out followed by Mirna.

Elin who was just getting ready to go home suddenly looked at Galang. He took a deep breath when Galang passed his desk just like that. He was sure Galang was very disappointed with him. But he can what?

"This is the best for Mr. Galang" muttered Elin. "If Mr. Galang knew I was married to give birth to a baby, he would be much more disappointed."
