She's my Husband
NOT AN EASY CHOICE

Why should there be a meeting if it eventually parted. If time can be played back, maybe the choice is not to meet at all. Because the injury caused by the separation is very painful. There is no medicine that can cure you other than time. In the end, everything will be fine, but the thing is, how long it takes to get a broken heart back is fine.

Mila. There was no wind, no rain, but why did lightning arrive.

"Not funny." Mila said while trying to smile. "Your jokes are outrageous. It's not funny El. The word talak is not to be joked like this." Mila shook her head in disbelief.

"It's not a joke." Elgar's voice while flailing. He threw his eyes away because he couldn't look at Mila. Even at this moment, he felt his eyes start to heat up.

"I must be a dream. Yeah, this must be a dream. I'm still sleeping? I'm still sleeping El?" Mila cupped both sides of Elgar's cheeks to face him. "Yes, I'm definitely still sleeping right now. Besides this is ridiculous, Elgar can't ask me to pray together."

Elgar shook his head while lowering Mila's hand from her cheek. His chest tightened from death held back tears that forced out.

"Back me El. This dream is too painful." Mila continued while gripping both arms of Elgar. "Wake me El, wake me up." Mila's tone began to rise.

Again Elgar could only shake his head while looking down.

PLAQUES

A hard slap landed on Elgar's cheek.

"It's not a dream." Mila muttered as she stared at her hot and flushed palms. His body began to tremble realizing this shocking reality.

"I'm sorry Mil, sorry." Elgar's tears could no longer be held back. The clear liquid was shed without being controlled.

Mila felt her body go limp. His body felt boneless and slowly, drop after drop of tears began to seep from the corner of his eyes. He held her chest that hurt. Still wet in his memory how last night Elgar hugged him and said love. But this morning, the lips that always say that love, say the pledge of talaq.

"What's my fault El?" Mila muttered with a voice trembling with tears.

Elgar lifted Mila's chin and looked at the face that was wet from those tears.

"I was wrong. I'm Mila's loser. I'm weak. I can't fight for our love. I'm stupid, I'm.I." Elgar could no longer continue his words. He dropped his head on Mila's lap and cried as if it were there.

No one said a word. There was only the sound of tears of mutual disdain between Mila and Elgar that was so slashing.

Elgar raised his head and looked at Mila. There are tears from Mila that go down non-stop.

"Please promise to be happy without me. Wherever and with whomever you are, I will always pray for your happiness." A sweet kiss was given by Elgar for the last time.

"I love you Mila." Elgar got up and took the phone and the car keys.

Seeing that, Mila hurriedly stood up and approached Elgar.

"Where are you going?" Mila blocked Elgar's wrist.

"I've got to go Mil."

"No." Mila immediately embraced the strong strong Elgar. "You can't go where. You can't leave me."

It's really heavy. And if there's a choice, Elgar also wants to return Mila's embrace and say, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving you, never will be. Unfortunately, not a choice. Whatever the step is at the moment. He's got to go.

"I'm sorry Mil." Elgar forcibly breaks Mila's embrace and leaves.

Mila couldn't believe that Elgar had left her. But this isn't a dream. Even Elgar's back had disappeared behind the door.

Mila raised her subordinate to chase after Elgar. He even fell down because he accidentally stepped on the face.

Elgar closed his eyes hearing the bug sound from Mila's body being hit by the floor. He wanted to turn around and help her. But no, he can't back down anymore.

Elgar stopped hearing the scream. Oh my God, let only this once be given a simple choice. Why is this her choice.

Ting tong ting.

The sound of the bell solidified Elgar's steps to leave immediately. He opened the door and went out.

"Fuckin!" Shouted Mila who was still sitting on the floor.

With the departure of Elgar. Mila saw her parents come in.

"Happy, Father." Mila muttered in the middle of her stuffing.

Ms. Rahmi immediately approached Mila and hugged her. She was crying as if she was going to feel what Mila was feeling. Mr. Wahab, the middle-aged man in the wheelchair, cried. His feeling shattered to see the roaring cries of his son.

"Buok Eagle, Elgar. Elgar's gone. He left Mila. What's wrong Mila buk, what? Why would Elgar miss Mila?"

Which strong mother saw the wailing of her daughter. Ms. Rahmi could only cry while hugging Mila.

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

Elgar stopped his car in a quiet place. He hit the steering wheel many times and shouted as loud as possible. It's too painful for him. The shadow of Mila who cried bitterly made her unable to breathe. His chest was as tight as being squeezed by something big.

Why this is his life story. Why he can't be with the woman he loves.

"You're El's loser, you're a real loser." Shouted Elgar cursing himself. He also hit his chest which hurt.

Yesterday, he went to Mila's house. Meeting her parents and returning Mila well to them. Elgar also invited them to come to Jakarta so that someone accompanied Mila at a time like this.

Sometimes life is not always what we want it to be. Sometimes we are forced to do something even if it is not in accordance with our will.

It wasn't easy for Elgar to make this decision. But after he thought well, this was the best. Not for her, but for the people around her, especially Mila.

The words of his father in the letter could not be ignored. Mr. Rendra is definitely not his opponent. He was just a kid yesterday afternoon, while Salsa's father had been poor across the business world and even black business for decades.

"When you read this letter, it means that papa is gone in this world.

Papa titip mama. Take good care of my mom. Your mother has no one else but you. Papa, Alina, one by one they've left him. Right now, the responsibility of looking after the mama and Dirgantara group, is on your shoulders.

Rethink your plans to cancel your marriage to Salsa.

Papa knows Rendra very well. He's not just anyone. He could do anything especially if it was concerned with his mere daughter. In addition to hurting her daughter, you will also destroy their self-esteem and family's good name if the marriage fails. Shaming them like this was definitely not the right choice.

In addition to money, Rendra also knows many people in the black world. And the consequences would be fatal if it woke up a sleeping lion.

If a Baskara who is nothing can do that to Mila. Imagine if a Rendra. He must have done something more horrible than that. Because she'll assume that Mila ruined her daughter's happiness

It's not just Mila. The company he would also destroy. Even your mama, Pink and possibly the closest person to Mila, could be threatened.

Think of it all El. Think about the fate of your mother, Mila and all the employees of Dirgantara group. Not for your ego, they're victims.

Forgive papa. Sorry for putting you in the most difficult position. If only you knew, it never occurred to papa if the ending would be like this. Papa doesn't blame you for falling in love with Mila. But if anything happens to Mila or your mama, you'll regret it for life.

Papa is no more, no one can help you but yourself.

Again, forgive papa. Because of papa's ego, you have to be in this position."
