The Charm of the Man with a Wife

Bagaskara Murka

Elvino doesn't know about Lucky's arrest right now. He only knew the case of the old man was still in the process of investigation and so incidentally, the arrest occurred when he was about to carry out the marriage. Elvino's errand boy who had called himself had not been touched at all because he was focused on Shena. In fact, the man was about to inform if Lucky had been arrested by the police.

"Okay, we're going there! Come on, Shen, El, you're ready, right?" Sandra stood up and wanted to get out of the room.

"Wait a minute, Tan, Om! How will I do kabul if the name listed is another man's name?" the Elvino admonishments.

"Oh, yes! Ah, just gini!" Sandra realized from Elvino's words, she thought for a moment and whispered to Bagaskara.

"Come, Pa, hunt!" pinta Sandra told her husband to speak first to the ruler.

Shena and Elvino were silent, not yet understanding the intent of Sandra and Bagaskara's plan. The two of them just waited for their next move. It turns out that Sandra told Bagaskara to speak to the ruler, telling him that the groom was not according to the registered data.

Penghulu also asked the data of the newlyweds, and told that only serial marriages could take place. If the marriage of the two pairs is officially both religious and state, they can apply after married siri.

"Fastly give me your ID!" bagaskara said to Elvino. He is dizzy if the problem is too long-winded and wants to quickly resolve so as not to be ashamed of guests who have been boisterous since.

Inevitably Elvino handed over the ID card to the forerunner, and at the sight, the predecessor was a little surprised. "Son El, married?”

The speech made by the ruler certainly made Sandra and Bagaskara surprised to hear it. Shena who heard this only took her breaths in resignation as her parents looked at her. How much effort in this masked Elvino's identity, turned out to be futile. In the end, they know everything.

"Yes, I'm married" Elvino said boldly.

"Suckers! So that's why you broke up? You lied to all of us including my son? Huh!" Bagaskara immediately gripped the collar of the shirt worn by Elvino.

"Pa, patience!" Sandra tried to break up, the ruler just fell silent, he gave the groom time to explain, while Shena who saw his father was angry could only be silent.

"How can you be patient? He's been lying to us all this time!" said Bagaskara who is still emotional.

"But I'm about to get divorced with my wife, Om!" elvino said firmly and managed to make Shena surprised as well as everyone in the room.

"It's been, it's been, it's been, I'm sorry I didn't want to interfere, but my schedule was tight. So how's next? Can we continue or can we just cancel?" ask the ruler who is trying to find a middle ground.

"Continue!" said Sandra steady.

Hearing his wife answer, Bagaskara took off his grip. His eyes were still staring intently at Elvino. He had no other choice but to marry his son to a married man.

"Well then, let's get the kabul ijab straight, yeah!" said pak penghulu.

Bagaskara came out with the penghulu sir and was about to be followed by Shena, but Elvino had not yet come out, Sandra pulled Elvino's hand and said, "I don't know your problem with your household, what I'm clearly warning you is, if your divorce with your wife happens, don't ever blame Shena for the divorce!"

Hearing this, of course Elvino solidified his answer in accordance with the reality he was experiencing at this time. In fact, the destruction of the household, he opened without cover-up.

"I promise, Auntie. I won't involve Shena in my household matters. It is also impossible for me to consider Shena as the destroyer of our relationship because indeed I have decided to divorce my wife long before I knew Shena would get married. So Auntie doesn't have to worry!" Elvino seemed to give confidence to Sandra and also turned to look at Shena who had been reluctant to open her voice since. The woman seemed to be uprooted by the conflict of her marriage now.

"Hows it? Is it ready?" ask the ruler to both the bride and the parents of Shena after they are in the chair of kabul ijab.

“What's the deal?”

Elvino seemed confused and thoughtful. Shena who saw it was immediately aware of it. Then, shena quickly took off the necklace that Elvino had been wearing in the locker room a few minutes ago. 

“Use this dowry. It's original, right?” shena asked, giving the necklace to Elvino's hand under the table. 

El then nodded to look at Shena. Then hand the jewelry to the head.

“Diamond necklace jewelry, Sir.”

"Well then," said Penghulu who reached out her hand while reciting a reading that would deliver Shena and Elvino legitimately as a married couple.

"I accept the marriage and her guardian Shena Dea Allona bint Bagaskara with the dowry paid in cash!" The voice of Elvino who uttered the kabul is so firm, loud and clear without any practice at all, even just one breath.

"How are the witnesses? Right?" asked the ruler looking around.

"Well!" call all witnesses at once.

"Alhamdulillah!" The ruler immediately raised his hands and recited a prayer.

Hearing she had legitimately married the man who was beside her. Despite only marrying Siri, Shena immediately shed tears. His heart thumped violently as everyone guaranteed a prayer from the penghulu's words. Then, Shena kissed the back of Elvino's hand. The man reflexively also kissed Shena's forehead lovingly.

Shena had no idea what she was feeling right now, happy? Aye! Pissed off? Of course he's still upset with Elvino. However, after he heard everyone say the word legitimately, his heart was immediately knocked remembering the first wife of—Elvino, he said, he does not want to be labeled as an actor who married the husband of a person secretly without being known by his first wife.

Once the kabul ijab is over, Shena and Elvino sit at the aisle, both looking awkward at each other. Moreover, Elvino, he still did not expect that he was the husband of Shena, a man who in the last few days made Elvino almost lose half his soul.

Every now and then Elvino glanced at his wife's pretty face. They have remained silent ever since her parents told her to get married, maybe Shena is still angry and disappointed, thought Elvino. He also tried to cover it up.

On the sidelines of the guests who gave congratulations, Elvino tried to sit closer again, relax his heartbeat when his heart once touched the hand of the wife who was only a few inches away.

New little finger Elvino wants to touch his wife's fingers slowly, but Shena has stood up first to welcome guests who congratulate her on her marriage. Elvino also stood up while breathing deep air when he almost managed to touch Shena's hand. However, the woman tried to dodge and brushed him off.

"Patience!" elvino. He then pretended to smile to all the guests who were mostly Bagaskara and Lucky business circles.

Guests can only give greetings to the newlyweds and whisper boisterously from a distance that sees the Bagaskara family's Shena wedding. Without asking about the different groom.

The age of the wedding, Sandra tells Shena to join Elvino to the hotel that has been prepared before, although Bagaskara objected that his son would be touched by Elvino, he tried to understand Sandra who gave him advice if they were both officially husband and wife.

"Ma, mending straight back home, don't use to hotel everything!" shena said, advancing the corner of her lips. However, Sandra kept telling him to obey and obey her.

Seriate....
