THE CHOICE IN MY LIFE
SECTION 74
Gilang drove his mother home and asked for a half-day leave. All her stuff she left on her desk and asked Toni to bring it back later.
After leaving the office to enter the house, Gilang did not take out a single word, he was covered in enormous anger, but his common sense as a child was still running, he did not want to yell at his elderly mother. Mama Ratna was worried because Gilang was sitting in the back porch seat with an empty view.
“Call? You're all right? I'm sorry Mama, Lang. Mama only . .”
“What did Mama think of Gilang when Mama came to the office today?” his face turned mellow due to heavy thoughts.
“Do Mama know if Mama has embarrassed Gilang? Shall I put where my face is, Ma? How do I deal with my friends and other employees tomorrow? Mama has ruined me.” Glazed covered his face with both of his hands and rubbed it violently. He couldn't imagine how tomorrow he would return to the office.
“Mama wants to restore what should be yours, Gilang. Mama wants to teach that woman a lesson.”
“Say I've told you, Ma. It wasn't Tia who was wrong for my failed promotion. But me! I destroyed it myself, Ma!” Gilang began to shout in frustration and hit his chest.
“Enough, Cross. Sorry Mama. Mama just wants the best for you.”
“Already, Ma. Gilang's life is ruined. Leave Gilang alone.” Gilang left his guilt-ridden mother alone, preferring to lock himself in the room.

“Toni?” mama Gilang said when she found out about her guests.
“Sore, Aunt. I want to deliver Gilang goods left behind at the office.” Toni handed it to Mama Gilang.
“Then, Toni directly said yes, Aunt.”
“Wait, Ton.” Prevent Mama Gilang
“Ya, Aunt?”
“What do you think was Auntie's entanglement at the office?”
“Emm .. . emmm, Toni feels she has no right to judge, Auntie. Sorry.” Toni gave her the safest answer.
“Oh, fine then. Forgive Aunt for asking. But before you go, can you meet Gilang for a moment. Since coming home this afternoon, he locked himself in his room and did not want to go out. Please yes, Ton.” Pinta Mama Gilang solemnly.
“Ba . . . alright, Aunt.” Toni couldn't refuse Gilang's mother's request.
Toni came in and knocked several times on the door of Gilang's room. After several knocks and calls, the door opened and Gilang came out with a very chaotic look.
“Hey, what are you doing?” ask Toni pretending to be cheerful. Though he knew clearly if his friend must be in a bad state.
“Let's sit on the front porch seat. I want to breathe fresh air.” Bring Gilang.
“Why are you so fucked up? Look at your appearance.” Toni protested the appearance of her friend who is currently fretting. His face and hair were completely unconditioned. When both of them were sitting on the terrace seat, Toni immediately asked her friend's news.
“Hey, where would you go if you resigned from the company? There is no better company than S&D Group. Strengthen your heart, such problems will disappear with time.” Toni strengthened her sidekick.
“I didn't expect my mom to be at the office this afternoon. Last night I told you a little bit about Tia's return to the office after parting ways with me and also about my failure to get that promotion. I never thought my mom would conclude that Tia was the cause.” Gilang continued to rub his face with both hands.
“But to be honest, I was so amazed by your ex-wife.”
“Why?” ask Gilang seriously. “Tell me everything what happened on the bag this afternoon.”
“Sorry before, I didn't mean to vilify your mama, Lang. But I think your mama's words are pretty outrageous. Your mama insulted Bu Tia in front of many employees, even your mama to announce that Bu Tia is a woman who is not right because she cannot give you offspring.”
“Till like that??” He widened his eyes, not believing what he was hearing.
“Betul. Even if I don't remember wrongly, your mama alleges that Ms. Tia faked her fertility test and also deliberately made you suffer more when she returned to work again.”
“Then, what does Tia do?” Gilang has leaned his body towards Toni. His face had already stiffened, waiting for the answer Toni would tell him.
“Bu Tia did nothing. The good woman even invited your mama to talk outside the canteen so that your mama is not ashamed, but everything is pushed aside by your mama. You're really unlucky to lose such a woman, Lang. What a pity.”
“You're right, Ton. That's my biggest regret. I'm lulled into the seduction of another woman.” He rubbed his face again.
“But, Lang.” Toni stopped her sentence weighing whether it was necessary to say it to Gilang.
“What's up, Ton. Is there anything I don't know yet? Tell me everything.”
“This starts from your mother who announced the problem of Bu Tia to all employees in the room, and Sinta, a member of Bu Tialah who acts as a protector. In front of all employees, Sinta clearly said if you have betrayed, it is a reply from the words of your mother who has insulted her leader. Day . .”
“Dan??”
“And also, Sinta revealed if the money from the sale of the apartment and also the car owned by Bu Tia you have snatched without giving a penny to Bu Tia.”
“Where did Sinta know it all?”
“This surprised me the most when I heard it. Turns out it was Dera who told me everything. Your affair was bragging in front of other women and proud of her because you chose her and left Bu Tia.”
“Fucking woman!!” Glorious clenched his hand holding back anger when he found out that Dera was one of the spreaders of his disgrace news.
“But everything that happens let it happen, Lang. Now it's time to fix everything in a sustainable way. I know that Ms. Tia may still have feelings for you, evidently because she didn't reply to all of your mama's words.”
“Thanks, Ton, for your support.”
“Sama-sama, friend. Oh yes, you got a second direct Warning Letter. So be careful, do not let you get a red card and have to leave the company. I say goodbye first, say hello to your mama.” Toni is getting ready to leave.
“Ok. Thanks for your help.”
“Sama-sama friend.” Toni left the ruman Gilang who was still depressed because of what had just happened this afternoon.
