The Charm of the Man with a Wife

Heart Expressions

Seeing Shena's behavior, Elvino smiled with a shake of his head, looking at Shena's back which was disappearing from his sight. The woman quickly closed the bathroom door. “Until when will you stop making me anxious at the sight of your behavior, Shen. The more days, the more I am made to fall in love with your funny behavior.”

A few moments' lapse. Shena came out of the bathroom and caught up with Elvino who was already at the dining table. They both enjoyed breakfast. Shena who had just tasted Elvino's cooking for the first time was surprised, even though it was only fried rice and vegetable salad, but she was amazed at the man's ability. 

“Taste you so good, I just found out you can cook.”

“If two people live together, shouldn't it really complement each other? You don't have to cook, I can do it. I don't want you to get hurt by cooking oil or a knife.”

“Don't underestimate me, I can cook. But later, after I learned to cook or take the course.”

“Alright, if you like it. I can only support.”

Shena also ate greedily until she was not left alone. Elvino who saw him smiled and was also happy because Shena began to accept him. 

“O yes, out of this, I want to go home, El.” Shena said without further ado, making the man surprised.

“Go home? Mean kmau?”

“Yes go home, I want to go home. Later Papa with mama nyariin how. Kan, Mama just booked the hotel for two days. It's been two days I didn't go home, he kept chatting me, nanyain when to go home.”

“Shen, we are, have become a married couple, we should stay one roof. How can a husband and wife live apart home.” Elvino seemed to be unable to accept Shena's words.

“El, where maybe you can invite me to stay together for now, while your status is still the husband of people. I also don't want to be in the shoes of the actor or your sympathizer" said Shena with a little annoyance.

“No one would dare to call you that, if anything, that person would not survive." 

Elvino was furious, he stood up from his chair and went to the room. Shena who saw the angry Elvino looked astonished. She should have been the one who was angry because she remembered her position as the second wife. 

“Well, she's the one who's angry, I should. Bizarrely. Shena gulped the juice roughly down the toilet. 

In the room, Elvino called her mother to ascertain how her divorce would proceed, when the trial would take place. After getting an answer, she approached Shena.  

“If you want to repeat, I'll come. I'll talk to papa and mama to invite you to stay here.”

“ya, yes. It's up to you. But, remember yes, even if they allow me to stay here, the opening means you broke our agreement.”

“I am a man, I will not renege on my promise.’’

“Shen, want to until when you are angry constantly, until when will you hate me, hem?” elvino asked, he crouched down near the dining table, next to the chair that Shena was sitting on.

Shena was silent, her memory twisted a few days ago before the wedding, Elvino vigorously and stubbornly came to Shena to apologize. But that woman is hard to forgive. When the marriage almost began, Shena forgave him but he could not forget the wounds that Elvino had once inflicted. 

I don't know what made the morning dramatic, who started it. What is clear is that the heart makes the two dissolve and reveal each other the overflow of pent-up taste during this time. Elvino held Shena's hand.

“Shena, I'm sorry. I was wrong, I was too stupid to treat you like that. I was a coward who hurt you. But, all that I did because I had to, there was no intention in the least to make you hurt. 

I just wanted to be a good husband to my wife, but I was wrong. I'm damning a woman who doesn't even have any self-respect. Now, destiny brings us together, I'm sure all of this is indeed His will. So I beg you, now forgive me, and do not hate me one bit. If necessary, I am ready to accept punishment from you.” 

“El, I can't say anything. Only your time and actions can change me. Do your best as my husband and never get tired of persuading me. Believe me, the pain is still there, El. I need time to forget it.” Shena shed her tears right in the hand of Elvino who was holding her hand. 

El rubbed gently on Shena's cheek. Elvino then stood up and invited the woman to move, he then carried Shena in his arms. “I'm sorry.” 

After the two agreed, Elvino drove Shena home and carried out his goal— asked permission to invite Shena to live together. They boarded a red sports car owned by Elvino, heading for his in-laws' house. 

In the living room of Bagaskara's house, it appears Elvino and Shena are sitting side by side, opposite Bagaskara and Sandra. The four people fell silent and clashed with each other like awkwardly. 

While Elvino, he was busy putting together lines in his head to face his in-laws.

“So, when will you divorce your wife, El?” ask Sandra suddenly.

“Living a few days waiting for the hearing, Ma,” answer Elvino had made everyone who was there feel relieved because it turns out the man did not want his words.

“Good, remember yes, after you got divorced. Don't forget your promise, leave Shena in the eyes of the country and also acknowledge her in public.” Bagaskara.

“Good, Pa. I'll keep that promise.”

“And, earlier I apologize, I also want to ask permission to bring Shena to life together. Can i? I sincerely hope Papa and Mama entrust Shena to me.”

“What! No, no, no. I disagree.” Bagaskara began to raise his voice. 

“I understand, it is certainly not easy as a parent to hand over his daughter to a man like me. This time, I beg you with respect. Shena's been my wife, Pa, Ma. Shouldn't it be after marriage, the wife is the husband's responsibility?”

“You think we just believe in you, you forget about your treatment that has hurt my son? You think we as parents can't take care of Shena, do you?” Bagaskara continued to argue, while Shena and Sandra chose to be quiet to wait for their time talking after the man was done.

“Sorry, Pa.  That's not what El meant. But, El really wants to live with Shena, mending our relationship. I want to make amends for everything that ever happened.” 

Bagaskara fell silent, he was still thinking for his decision. Actually, as a father, the man seemed to mind letting go of his son, although Bagaskara also knew, there was a look of love and sincerity in Elvino's eyes. Will teta[i, he is still hesitant because given the status of Elvino who has not been divorced with his wife.

“Shena, do you want to stay with him?” sandra asked the pensive Shena.
