THE CHOICE IN MY LIFE
SECTION 39
“What were you guys talking about last night after we had dinner?” ask Cindy.
“He is very happy and thanks me for accepting it. The one who should be thankful is me. He already wants to accept a broken woman like me.”
“Hustt .. . Never say that. If you think of yourself like that in the past, then now is the time to improve yourself for now and in the future. But you are still the best in my eyes. You've always taken care of me all this time.” Tia held Cindy's hands together.
“Thanks, Tia. You always supported me and never left me.”
“Do not say thanks again, you have said it too often lately, Cindy.”
Tia gave a pillow on Cindy's back so that her best friend could lean on the bed comfortably.
“Then, how are your next plans?”
“I want to get married here, and Yose agrees. So Yose will take care of some documents in order to carry out the blessing here. I'll just invite a few friends, while family . . . . My family is just you Tia. They've all been dumping me for a long time. I don't want to involve them, after all they definitely won't want to attend my wedding later.”
“You haven't tried it yet, Cind.”
“Already. I used to try to get back in my big family. I invited them over for dinner when I was rising as manager. I prepared everything, food, I even decorated my house. But no one came, not even just to give news if they could not attend, not. Especially if they find out if I am currently pregnant out of wedlock.” Cindy's expression was so sad when talking about her family.
“I'm sorry, Cindy. for making your mood worse. You should be happy tonight because you're going to take off your singletons and get someone nice by your side. I'll just calmly let you go to Yose. From what I've seen, he's a good man.”
“Hopefully your assessment of him is correct.” Answer Cindy.
“That's the least I can catch when I hear a story from you if he wants to take responsibility. And when we talked. Looks in her eyes if she's watching you so much, Cind.”
“To be honest he has always used various means to get close to me these few weeks. Especially after she found out I was pregnant. I was the only one still at the crossroads. I still doubt. But ever since you spoke your opinion, Tia, I became convinced of the path I should take. I have to accept myself by trying to open my heart to a commitment. And with Yose, I want to try it.”
In the light of the flashing lights, Tia and Cindy smiled at each other. It had been a long time since they had spoken at such length that night. The two of them were present to strengthen each other. Although they are both in almost the same condition, they can prove that they can succeed with all the hard work. Even now, Tia had to start back from the bottom.
“Tomorrow I will find work after driving you to the office, I must quickly leave this house. I'm sure if Yose stays at this temporary hotel, and if she's taking care of all the requirements, it's going to take a lot of time. Yose can stay here instead of having to waste his money on expensive hotels.”
“Emmm .. . Actually your words don't hurt. But I want to be with you first. You currently need me more than Yose.”
“Come me for this one week. I'll find a job and find a contract. Day . .” Tia smiled at her best friend. “Pinjami me money to find a contract. I'll pay it on payday later.”
“Where do you want to work?” ask Cindy.
“Do not hesitate. Just wear mine. Consider it all yours. We are friends beyond brothers.”
“Eh, not that you can go back to the company. I remember very well when you told me Mr. Raka once said that he would accept you back.” Added Cindy.
“Maybe it's just a pleasant talk Mr. Raka. There is no way he will accept employees who have left the company.”
“But Mr. Raka is famous for never messing with his words, he always keeps his words. If Mr. Raka says that to you, then you can do it. I'm sure if Mr. Raka won't say it to anyone.”
“But . . If I come back, how do the other employees view. They must be gossiping behind me. And there is also Mas Gilang.” Tia's voice sounded weak.
“I make sure there is no. No one will say anything to you. And about Gilang, they definitely know who is wrong.”
“Why are you so sure?”
“Did you forget that in our company there is a secret group chat? I was in that group under another name, so I knew all of their discussions. And, well . . . indeed these two days are busy discussing Gilang and the intern. They talked about if the two had been blatantly making out at the office. And they're asking how you are.”
Tia's body stiffened upon hearing Gilang's name and the woman's affair. “Already, don't think about them. You should focus on yourself right now.” Cindy said.
“Well tomorrow I'll try it. It's okay if tomorrow I'm stationed anywhere. The important thing is I can work and can live independently again.”
“Actually you don't need to rush, Tia. You can stay with me for the next few months.”
“I can't be selfish like that, Cindy. I'm sure that Yose wants to be with you. I must be a friend who knows myself.”
“Tomorrow I will accompany you to Pak Raka's room. There's something I need to talk to our handsome leader.” Cindy smiled brightly every time she talked about the top leadership in the company.
“Enough, Cindy!!! Don't be happy imagining people's husbands. Mr. Raka loves his wife very much, I myself still feel amazed to see Mr. Raka. A leader who is so cold and disciplined, can be so weak in front of Ara.” Tia's words were echoed by Cindy.
“Now go to sleep, it's night. Tomorrow I'll wake you up before morning and take your nausea medication before morning.” Tia changed the position of Cindy's pillow. they both slept in the same bed, because Cindy's home is only available one bed with a large size. In the past, Tia used to stay at Cindy's house before she married Gilang.
“I thought you were going to get pregnant with the person who took my place. You talk about that person too often when you meet me.” Said Tia slowly with her eyes closed.
“You don't know. Mr. Rio is as cold as Mr. Raka. I can't approach him other than work. That's what made me give up on teasing him.”
Cindy glanced at her best friend who had fallen asleep next to her. She pinched Tia's nose because she was left to sleep first. After moaning in pain from Cindy's pinch, Tia did not reply and chose to win her drowsiness.
