The Charm of the Man with a Wife

The Ideal Daughter-in-law Criteria

"Yes, my recipe." Shena bit her lower lip as she was so happy, then devoured the two ice creams. Again the behavior of Shena who played her lips teased the inner Elvino. 

"Patience," the inner Elvino who cheered himself on when he felt something strange.

From the beginning of the meeting, they were nobody, but the hearts of the two seemed to be linked to each other. Undeniably, Elvino is a normal man who is not necessarily alone with other women, while he is the status of a husband of people. 

"Where is it now?" ask Elvino.

"To Permai Cemara street," replied Shena who asked to be delivered to her boutique.

Along the way, Shena continued to lick into the two ice creams in turn, and managed to disrupt the concentration of Elvino who was driving.

"For a long time, eat the ice cream?" snapped Elvino who could not stand the way the woman ate. 

Shena did not care at all when Elvino was angry, she just continued to enjoy the two ice creams in turn, without answering Elvino's words. The empu who felt disturbed immediately took the remaining ice cream from the woman's hand and devoured it to the end.

Shena was astonished to see the actions of the man next to her, she became annoyed because her ice cream was taken by Elvino just like that.

"Iiss." Shena's face pouted towards Elvino with her sinister gaze. The master laughed at Shena's pouting lips. “So say don't like sweet, look! Now you're taking mine!” 

"His handsome," said Shena in a soft voice.

Elvino still subconsciously gets compliments from the woman next to him. But he doesn't consider it anything special. 

Time passes, the clock turns until the day changes. Right now, the clockwork is pointing right at the number seven. The atmosphere this time, was different from the previous nights because Shena had to carry out her mission. 

Shena got off the sports car driven by Elvino—which Shena knew was just a borrowed car in the repair shop. The two walked looking friendly with a man, who was none other than Elvino. Yes, to this day, Elvino carries out his duties as Shena's boyfriend that he will introduce in front of both parents. 

Nervousness, anxiety and worry rippled between the hearts and minds of the two men. Slowly, Shena started knocking on her door. His eyes occasionally glanced at Elvino, and let out a rough sigh.

“As per plan, yes. Watch out, do not forget, or even fail,” said Shena reminded Elvino—lelaki who was standing next to Shena, he grasped the woman's hand. 

A little never crossed Elvano's mind to run the act as a pretend girlfriend. 

“I'll try, but if there's something I forget, don't get mad at me!” elvino was half joking. His hands were getting tighter holding Shena's hands.

“What goes hand in hand like this including dating terms?”

“Of course, if we don't look friendly, they will definitely suspect.”

Shortly after, the door was opened by a housekeeper. He immediately let in. “Have been awaited Mr and Madam, Non.”

“OK, thank you, Bi.”

Shena and Elvino stepped out confidently, both of them not forgetting to comment on smiles as if they were happy lovers. 

“Halo. Pa, Ma!” Shena kissed the cheeks of her parents, while Elvino smiled kindly while nodding, as soon as she reached out her hand to shake hands. 

“Goodnight, Om, Aunt,” greet Elvino. 

“Goodnight, please sit!” bagaskara orders while paying attention to the appearance of Elvino from top to bottom. The clothes worn by Elvino this time were able to attract the attention of two middle-aged people who were in the living room.

“Lumayan, at least he is worth my son, just a little bit of weakness, the young man will not escape to be my son-in-law,” Inner Bagaskara. 

Sandra looked so crisp when watching her daughter, the happy face that Shena looked was able to attract her attention. So, it can be concluded, the first point managed to make them believe if Elvino is his lover. 

“So, what's your name?” 

“Elvino, Om.” 

“Good name,” timpal Sandra, her smile engraved from her lips. 

A relief for Sandra when she found out, it turns out her son really has a lover. That means, it could be that the match between Shena and Lucky is canceled. Sandra is not a firm figure, but she is able to understand and understand the wishes of her child. Matrimonial problems, Sandra was only required to be forced according to Bagaskara's orders.

“You work or have your own company?” 

“I work in a car repair shop, Om,” replied Elvino casually, no impression of lies he said. Not what Shena expected.

“Work? You're a mechanic?” Bagaskara was shocked to hear Elvino's confession. Shena also stared intently at Elvino. 

“Ehem!” Shena cleared her throat loudly, thus being able to make everyone look at her. Hope Elvino will be aware of his words.

“Yes, I work in a workshop, Om. My hobby is in the car engine. Although it has several workshop branches in this city, but for me more afdal if you work on it yourself,” explained Elvino.

“Car repair shop? You?” Bagaskara was almost surprised. If indeed he is just a mechanic, it is certain he will immediately receive less good treatment from his papa Shena.

“Maybe Om has heard of, or is no stranger, his name is Harvey Service Car. That's where I am.”

“Not, Harvey Service is quite famous in several cities?” bagaskara asked, she slightly scrunched her forehead, remembering something she once knew about the workshop.

“You're the owner?” 

“Yes, since four years ago, indeed I only have one workshop in this city. However, I want to advance my business by opening it in several cities.” 

A relief when Bagaskara heard Elvino's explanation.

“Which university are you graduating from?” ask Bagaskara again. As much as possible he scraped through all the information he wanted to know from Elvino. The goal is only to ensure the future welfare of his child if indeed he will marry his child.

“I was born in Australia and studied at Boxhill Institute. After finishing college, my parents decided to stay in Indonesia.” 

There was no doubt about what Elvino said. Everyone who listened to him was dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, it turns out that the man is the right criteria to be a daughter-in-law. Elvino explained whatever he knew, leaving Bagaskara astonished. 

Likewise with Shena, she was astonished by all Elvino's words. However, he was very amazed and satisfied with his acting this time. This is just outside of Shena's plan. She never told Elvino to explain how the famous workshop was built, about her college, or even her birth. Shena grew more amazed and commented on her thin smile while looking at Elvino while talking without pause. The charm of the man was able to hypnotize anyone who was in the room.

Three hours passed, the conversation ended at the dinner table, joking with each other. After finishing dinner. Shena was so relieved, her mission this time had already been accomplished. He did not think about how fate would be in the future for his lies tonight—introduces his fake lover. For him, most importantly, he could bring a man before his parents and be accepted, that was more than enough.

Late at night, Shena escorted Elvino to the front of the house after saying goodbye to both of Shena's parents.

“You're great, El. Thank you for being my savior tonight,” said Shena Lirih as she flanked Elvino's hand intimately. “But, how can you claim to be an owner and study in Australia? It's all outside our plan, El. I was shocked when you said it. Is that maybe your boss's life story?”
