The Charm of the Man with a Wife

Wedding Invitations

“What's all, huh! Arrggghhhh!” Elvino turned around and then destroyed everything in the room. Lights, faces, clocks, drinking bottles, pillows, all scattered and smashed in Elvino's hands. Celia was just crying, her body was shedding to the floor. Really, regret is too late because Elvino now knows everything.

Satisfied ruffled the contents of the room, Elvino then went and drove his car at a fast pace. His mind is in a rage. I don't know where he's going, which is clear he wants to calm down.

Once quite far from the bustle of the city, Elvino stops at a beach. He immediately came out and ran and screamed in the dark of the night. No matter what he'll claim to be insane or whatever it is. He wanted to vaporize his stifling emotions within the chest.

The waves and gusts of wind seemed to hypnotize him to become calmer. Elvino sat on the sand curled up and cried. This was the first time she cried not because she was happy, but because of pain that she could not be dimmed. A faint crumbling feeling in the mind. Injured, but not bleeding.

The sun began to show itself. Elvino began to wake up after he fell asleep in a curled up position and leaned under a coconut tree by the beach. He began to shiver in the cold, then decided to return to the car.

He drove his car then left the beach and his emotions. He went towards his workshop. The atmosphere seemed still quiet when he reached the workshop. Elvino immediately walked into his room and made coffee. 

Unfortunately, it just so happened that the sugar stock was up. Elvino drank his coffee without sugar. The bitter taste of the coffee seemed to represent how strange the problem he was facing. To get rid of boredom, Elvino turned on the television perched on the wall of his study. 

After pressing the on button, Elvino looks for shows he might be interested in watching. However, there is one channel that turns out to be showing the scene of two lovers being mutually intimate. Elvino gulped his saliva because he remembered Shena's soft lips at that time.

In the next second, Elvino immediately replaced other television channels. Keep pressing the next button on the remote. He shook his head and tried to fend off Shena from his brain. However, instead of finding an interesting event, Elvino was actually irritated because at this hour it was only a cartoon show for children.

Finally he swiped the off button and switched to a cell phone. In fact, even the shadow of Shena smiling plastered on the flat object of his. Feeling defeated by her thoughts about Shena, Elvino closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

“Bos, boss.” Samuel wakes up Elvino who is asleep in his chair. Elvino who felt disturbed then woke up and jumped in shock to see Samuel already in front of him.

“Why, Sam?” asked Elvino while kneading his temple which felt throbbing dizzy. Probably due to lack of sleep all night.

“No papa, Boss. Just want advicein, sleep on the sofa just let not pegel. Semalem is loose? How lackluster is that?” samuel smiled seductively.

Elvino exhaled violently, then moved to the sofa bed in the corner of the room. He continued his disturbed sleep. Elvino did deliberately buy it because sometimes if required overtime, he stayed and slept there.

Surprisingly, after laying down on the sofa, instead of falling back asleep he was at war with his brain. Things twisted and clashed in his mind. A shadow of a quarrel with Celia recalled. His hands clenched hard then sat leaning back.

“Sial!” he hit the innocent sofa. The phone is heard in the ear. Elvino immediately looked at who the phone was this morning. However, when he saw the contact name of the caller Elvino undo his intention and reluctant to answer the phone. Who else if not Celia. It was like cursing, but he was tired of arguing last night. So, she immediately deactivated her phone and went out to the toilet and took a shower. 

In the Elvino workshop, there are bathrooms and lockers for employees to make it easier for them to store their belongings. Incidentally, Elvino kept some of his clean clothes in a private room, so that he could bathe and change clothes there.

After taking a shower, Elvino wore a warepack shirt and joined the employees to help them service the customers' cars. Day after day changing Elvino has been almost weekly is not coming home. He stayed in the workshop and worked overtime to distract his chaotic mind.

On the other hand, she was worried between continuing her marriage or not. Moreover, he was already disgusted to imagine Celia dipping under Roger's cage. In addition, for some reason Shena's face and behavior ring continuously in her memory. She misses. Yes, Elvino really misses Shena. A figure that is sometimes noisy and spoiled, but able to vibrate his soul. 

That afternoon was so hot, suddenly Shena's car came and entered the Elvino workshop area. All eyes were on it because of Shena's stunning appearance as usual. For a long time they did not see the woman coming to the workshop, but previously so often met the boss.

The corner of Elvino's lips pulls upwards. However, he immediately stood up from his position. His eyes could not be separated from Shena's expanding silhouette. He had not expected, the woman he had just thought of, to now look real before his eyes. Elvino approached, looking up at his face depicting happiness. In contrast to Shena, she actually showed her flat face and walked over to Elvino.

“For you.” Shena gave her a thick sheet of maroon-colored paper.

After handing it over, Shena immediately turned her back and walked with quick steps leaving Elvino. The man called out to her while looking at the thing in his hand. Elvino's screams did not affect Shena's steps, who continued to walk toward the car without looking back. He hid the clear fur that started dripping on his cheeks. Shena then entered her car and quickly drove it so she could get out of there.

Elvino stared at Shena's departure with an uncertain feeling. After the woman died, Elvino caught a glimpse of the thick maroon paper in his hand, which turned out to be an invitation. Suddenly he was surprised to see the name listed on it. Somehow he felt very upset and squeezed the invitation to formless.

He threw the invitation into a trash can located not far from where he stood. The emotions continued until nightfall. Elvino is constantly angry even just because of the trivial mistakes of the employees. Not only that, Elvino who is famous for being cold, today is very chatty. The employees were confused as to whether there was any, until the boss seemed very emotional like that. But no one dared to ask.

Seriate...
