Married to Ex-Husband Boss
Chapter 40

"Why are you Fir?" ask Halimah curiously. Since then he has seen Elfira daydreaming.

"Fira was confused again Ma'am," he replied after a few seconds he fell silent.

"Why?"

"According to Erlangga's mother, what kind of person is she?" elfira asked while looking at Halimah.

"Why are you asking like that?" instead of answering, Halimah asked again.

"Erlangga proposed to Fira Bu" said Elfira to make Halimah surprised. He could not believe that his nephew was moving fast.

"Keep, did you accept the proposal?" ask Halimah again impatiently. He really hoped Elfira was a match with his handsome niece. However, it seemed like his hope was dashed when he saw Elfira shaking her head. "Why? Don't you love her?"

"May ... Fira doesn't know Mom. Fira's just not ready yet."

Halimah understood now, so Elfira refused not because she did not love but because she was not ready to open a new page with new people. The failure of his first marriage makes Elfira must be more selective in choosing a life partner, especially now that he already has children that he must prioritize. Not that Erlangga is a bad man, only his heart is not ready to accept it. Elfira is afraid of failure for the second time.

Halimah clasped both hands of Elfira, her motherly face smilingly looking at the woman she already considered to be her own child. "Mom understands how you feel, just don't shut yourself up too much. Not all men are like your ex-husband" Halimah said.

"Think carefully before making a decision" said Halimah again and Elfira nodded her head.

"Why you, baby? What the hell's going on?" anita asked frantically when she saw her son's room falling apart like a ship breaking.

Since last night his son was constantly frenzied, he was always raging and angry indistinctly. The items in his room he threw to vent his frustration, even the glass of his dressing table until it broke apart.

"I hate Ma, I hate Erlangga at all" he replied with emotion.

"Why Erlangga, what has he done to you?"

"Erlangga has made me ashamed Ma, he has insulted me in front of the village woman" Jessica replied with emotion and hatred.

Despite not knowing what had happened, Anita still tried to understand. She approached Jessica and hugged her tightly.

"Already, calm yourself. Don't get carried away by emotions, we have to act smart. Mama will help you to avenge your heartache."

Jessica let go of her embrace and looked at her mother, "really ma?" ask him not to believe.

"Dear, whatever you're going to do for your dearest daughter. Mama will make Erlangga bend the knee with you," said Anita reassured the child. Although he actually doesn't know how. The important thing is that his son can be calmer and not destroy things anymore.

...****************...

"So this is the woman's house?" ask Jessica about Anita. Right now they are lurking in front of the Elfira house. Last night Jessica told me everything that happened to her yesterday. Where Erlangga humiliates him in front of Elfira, a woman he has hated since the gray-white period.

"It turns out he has a catering business anyway" Anita murmured when she saw a banner that read 'Anindya Catering' in front of her house.

"Jessica had to repay their actions ma, especially the same Elfira. Because he who has made the man who Jessica loves used to reject Jessica's love. And now it's time for Jessica to avenge him by taking Erlangga from him." With hateful eyes Jessica stared at the house of Elfira.

"You take it easy, mama will make sure she gets her payback."

"But papa don't let you know ma, Jessica was afraid that papa would run amok. Because Erlangga will destroy papa's company if he finds out Jessica's still bothering the village's woman."

"That's how it is, you leave everything to your mother" Anita assured the child. A moment later their car drove away from Elfira's house. Without them knowing, behind their car there is another car that is also stalking the house of Elfira, more precisely stalking them.

"Hello! How's it?" ask the receiver.

"As the boss expected, the woman did not remain silent. I saw his car in front of Elfira's mother's house. It seemed like he was scouting the house and planning something" the driver replied.

"good. Keep an eye out and don't forget to gather the evidence."

"Good boss."

The call ended, the driver left Elfira's house and followed Jessica's car, which was likely far away.

Meanwhile Erlangga stared furiously at the screen of his phone after getting news from his paid person. Yes, Erlangga ordered someone to watch Jessica's movements. Because Erlangga believes that the woman will not stay silent when yesterday he defended Elfira. And his job now is to protect his woman from bad guys like Jessica.

"Look at Jessica, dare you touch my woman then I will destroy your life. You don't know who I am yet" Erlangga muttered in his room.

...****************...

This afternoon Elfira was meeting with the owner of the building that she would rent to make her new venture later. They will discuss the contract and sign it.

"How's Miss Elfira, you like the place?" ask the building owner.

"Good Mom, I like it because the place is very strategic" replied Elfira after she looked around the building earlier.

"Alhamdulillah then, I am glad to hear it. Here's the contract, I can learn before signing."

Elfira read all the points in the contract, after feeling no problem she signed it and returned it to the owner of the building.

"I've transferred the payment, ma'am," said Elfira made the owner of the building smile with satisfaction. Elfira includes tenants who are not fussy and not demanding.

"Thank you Miss Elfira. I'm very happy to work with you. I'll make a copy and I'll leave it to you as soon as possible."

"Sama-sama Ma'am, then excuse me first" said Elfira. However, his steps had to come to a halt when the owner of the building called out to him.

"Wait for Elfira!"

"Yes ma'am, is there anything lacking?"

The owner of the building smiled and walked over to Elfira. "This is the key to the building you forgot to bring," he said, handing over the key.

"Oh yes, I forgot. Thank you," replied Elfira while receiving the key.

After receiving the key, Elfira was really alone. He will visit Erlangga's office to thank the man for finding a place for his new venture later.

Elfira's car drove through the streets of the capital which was very crowded that afternoon. Because of the density, Elfira cars have to go back and forth to stop because of traffic jams so Elfira must be on the road for almost an hour. Though the distance from the house of the owner of the building to the office Erlangga is not up to 30 minutes.

Arriving at the Erlangga company building area, Elfira parked her car then got down and walked into Erlangga's office.

The security guard who had known Elfira also bowed his respect to him even though Elfira had banned him, the security guard still did. He said it was the procedure of his work.

Without needing to ask again, Elfira immediately took the elevator to Erlangga's room. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Elfira heard something that left her dumbfounded.
