THE CHOICE IN MY LIFE
SECTION 73
“Good day, Mom. There's something we can help you with.”
“I want to meet Tiara Nandita.”
“Does Mom have any appointments before?”
“But.” Answer with a ketus.
“Please wait a minute, I will contact the manager room to ask for the whereabouts of Bu Tia, because it is already lunchtime.”
“Where usually all employees gathered in hours like this.”
“Normally everything is gathered in the office, Bu.”
“Then let me find Tia there. Excuse me.”
The receptionist could not stop Ms. Ratna as she directly boarded the already open elevator and headed to the office's four-story office. Mama Gilang knows the location of the company canteen because she had met Gilang there.
Arriving on the fourth floor, Mama Gilang looked around and looked for the whereabouts of Tia. The room was almost filled with all S&D Group employees who were unwinded because of work. When she found the face she was looking for, Mama Gilang went straight to where Tia was sitting with Devi and immediately kicked the table occupied by the two.
Brakk . . . That table till vibrate, “Tia!” mama Gilang.
“Tante Ratna?” Tia stood up from her seat.
“Tante? It turns out that you are self-aware as well to change your call to me.”
“Of course, Auntie. There is no way I call Aunt Mama again, we have nothing to do anymore.”
“What's up, Miss Tia?” Devi looks confused and worried next to Tia.
“You just sit down, Devi. I can handle it.” Answer Tia calmly.
“Mari Aunty, we are in my room, so as not . .”
“No need!” Mama Gilang fending off Tia's hand, “Let everyone know what you are.” Mama Gilang's voice made everyone bewildered to pay attention to her.
“I should have known from a long time ago if you were a cunning fox, how dare you come back here and make Gilang's life suffer more.”
“What Aunt has forgotten? Who here actually suffers more.”
“How-ever you! It must be because of you, Gilang's promotion was canceled. Why haven't you made Gilang's life suffer enough, Tia! You barren woman who can not give a child to Gilang.”
“Enough, Auntie! Aunt has gone too far. ” Tia's face starts to stiffen.
“I? Overly? You're more outrageous, Tia.”
“Better Aunt go from this room than Aunt more shy later. And please think of the Aunt boys who work here. He'll feel very embarrassed because of this Auntie's actions. I'm sure if Gilang doesn't know if Auntie is here today.”
“What did you say?” Mama Gilang was furious.
“Listen all, this woman who now stands in my presence, is a woman who is not right. She tricked her husband by engineering her reproductive health results, she was barren but would not admit it. He also made Gilang, my son, suffer because he had to marry her. And now that they are separated, this dirty woman still touches Gilang's life by working here.”
Everyone was astonished by the words that came out of Mama Gilang's mouth, some were whispering, and some were astonished. The smile of victory was on his face because he was satisfied with the expression shown by some employees. He was determined to destroy his former son-in-law this time.
“How can you bestow your child's guilt on an innocent person?” he added again with rage.
“Who are you? How dare you interfere with my affairs.” Mama Gilang.
“It's your own problem that made a noise in our office, and I know very well how personal Bu Tia because I have worked long time with him.”
“Betul, the. I also know the kindness of Bu Tia.” Some people agree with Sinta's opinion.
“And didn't you fool Bu Tia by bringing money from the sale of her apartment and car?” said Sinta out loud.
“What? Really true? That bad?” some comments were heard from the crowd.
Mama Gilang who got an attack from Sinta became misbehaved and excited because at this time all eyes were on him. His attacker's soul suddenly changed its defensive mode. Mama Gilang quickly tried to find a reason to refute the reality that had just come out.

“Mistake, you have to be quick to kantin!” Toni called Gilang.
“What's up, Ton? My work is a lot.”
“Didn't you hear this crowd? Your mama came here and ran over, Miss Tia!”
“What!!” I'll be there soon.”
- - -
“Sinta, enough yes. Already, don't argue anymore.” Tia tried to calm Sinta who had been emotionally ignited. Tia did not want all her past household problems exposed out because after all Tia still pity Gilang.
“You . . . ka . . . . You heard it from whom?” ask Mama Gilang to Sinta.
“Who else if not from Dera, your dear child's affair. He was so proud of his future in-laws that he successfully memorized the treasures of his former son-in-law. And you need to know, if Bu Tia returns to this company because it did get a special offer from the main director.”
Mama Gilang began to feel pressure because some people frontally began to comment and attack him.
“You know all? Bu Tia came out of the house carrying only clothes and no other. But how noble the heart of my team leader is, because during the hearing, Bu Tia did not mind the money that is not small.”
“Sinta, already. Don't make things worse. How do you know such a detailed thing?” tia asked curiously.
“As I told you earlier, Mom. Dera told him everything. He's bragging about it. But why did Miss Tia stay silent since then to be humbled by others? Sorry Ms. Tia, I have to reveal everything I know is bad, let them all know who is good and who is rotten here.”
“You don't have young manners!” mama Gilang.
“How can I be polite with you? While your own attitude alone does not deserve respect.”
“Mama! What are you doing here?” Gilang ran to his mother.
“You should take Auntie away from here, Lang. before things get out of hand.”
“Come, Ma. We're out.”
“Huuuuuuuuu . . “ cheers from all canteen residents as Gilang embraces his mother towards the elevator and descends.
