THE CHOICE IN MY LIFE
SECTION 20
Several months had passed, Tia passed through her days as usual. He supported the family with some of the money Gilang gave and also from interest deposits. From that source, Tia was shopping for the monthly needs of the house, unexpected expenses, also Tia could still make a donation to the orphanage that had housed her first as a child until she grew up.
Kring . . . kring . . kring . . . Cindy's name is on Tia's screen.
“Halo . .”
“Halo, sweetheart. What have you been working on that you haven't contacted me at all these months?” cindy protest from across there.
“I'm just being a housewife, Cindy. Where could I be that busy.” Answer Tia.
“Really? But it feels like you are harder to contact than you used to be when you became one of the managers in the office.”
“Do you think? Hahahaha . . . I am only carrying out my role as a wife. I want all the best for my husband and family.”
“Until you forget your best friend? If so, you are absolutely outrageous Tiara Nandita!”
“Of course not. I still love you. Forgive me for being swept away by my new role.”
“Tell me everything later. Let's meet this afternoon at break.”
“Emmmm . . I see first if I can. I have to cook for lunch.”
“See! You don't think I'm your best friend?”
“Not so. If I don't cook, there won't be any food in the house. Gaby never went into the kitchen to cook. While mama Gilang has not cooked for a long time especially since I entered this family.”
“What are you helper?”
“Of course not. I'm just filial, baby. I'll call you back when I can see you. But if it's for lunch hour, I make sure it's hard to come out to see you.”
“Ok. I'm waiting to hear from you. I have missed you, my dear . . . “ Cindy let out her blanketing voice.
“Alright . . . alright, wait to hear from me. Bye honey.” Tia ended her call and continued her activities as usual. Prepare the ingredients for lunch that he will cook later.
‘Cafe R’
“Finally we can meet.” Cindy said as Tia sat in front of her. “You know? Your busy life is like our First Lady.” Cindy Grouse.
“I am still grateful to be able to see you after getting permission from Mas Gilang.”
“Mas Gilang??” cindy's expression seemed incredulous at what she had just heard.
“Well, I decided to call her that after we got married. I have to respect him.”
“Hahahaha . . Could also be your new call. Anyway, if he dares not to let you meet me, I will kill your Gilang mas!”
“Take it easy, if you become a widow, I will find you a better husband than Gilang.”
“Cindy . .. Please. He's my husband, so please take care of your talk.” Tia Protests.
“Ok, I'm sorry. I forgot that you became sensitive when it comes to Gilang.”
“What message do you want, Brother?” ask the waiter at the cafe while thrusting the menu book onto the table.
“Orange juice, and . . . . You want es americano, Tia?” ask Cindy about her best friend. And answered with a definite nod from Tia. Cindy always remembered what her best friend's favorite drink was.
“Ok. Orange Juice one, es americano one, and brown waffle nut two. Thanks.” Cindy returned the menu book to the waiter.
The waiter left after taking notes and repeating the order from Cindy and Tia.
“There's new news in the company?” tia asked curiously.
“You mean your husband?”
“Not. I'm really asking for the company. Is there anything new that is interesting?”
“As usual, the company is always ahead of several projects. And you know what the hottest news is right now in the office? There's a new manager replacing your position. His name is Mr. Rio. He's 30 years old but he's still down. He is very handsome and his body, emmmm . . . I want to take off all the clothes that are attached to his body.” It was clearly Cindy who was passionate.
“Ssttt! Keep your voice. Everyone started paying attention to this table because of your perverted thoughts.”
“Better you get married quickly so that your dirty fantasies can be channeled immediately.” Add Tia.
“There are several ways to channel this passion of mine, Tia. And it does not require a wedding commitment.” Cindy answered with certainty.
“But marriage is the right and legal choice if in your relationship it arises called a child, Cind.”
“If that happens, I can take care and raise it myself. I don't want to be tied to a wedding, too much trouble. And take it easy, I always wear safety every time I do it.”
“People you!” tia scorn.
“Yeah, this is how I am. But I'm still a good friend for not dragging you into my promiscuity.”
“You praised yourself?” Tia was astonished by the nature of her best friend.
“This is how I am.” Cindy is proud of herself.
“It is with great pleasure that I pray that there is a man who can change you.” While giving advice, Tia drinks her American ice after the waiter serves the drinks and food of the two women's shirts.
“It is with pleasure that I will wait for that man.” Cindy answered briefly.
