The Charm of the Man with a Wife

Apartments

Elvino nodded and continued to look at the woman. Not to forget, Shena then grabbed Elvino's hand to shake hands and kiss the back of his hand. 

After Shena's departure, Elvino stared intently at Samuel.

"Today you're overtime. There's no reason." Elvino snorted and left with an annoyed face. He still misses his wife. However, because Samuel and Melva had a fight, Shena had to leave for the two to stop arguing.

Samuel only sighed with his weight. His quick return plan failed.

"Ish, it's all because of that little girl! I failed to go see someone. Basic bummer!" his mind in the heart. His hands clenched and punched the wind.

On the way, Shena gets a call from Emma. The middle-aged woman reported that she would visit a boutique to see the designs that Shena had made for her. Shena drove her car faster so that her in-laws wouldn't wait too long. He must make a good impression in order to have the right blessing someday when Elvino introduces himself to Emma.

Just when Shena gets to the boutique, Emma, who has just gotten out of the car, arrives. 

"Hallo, Aunt. It just so happened that I also just wanted to go into the boutique after lunch earlier," said Shena then gently shook Emma's back hand.

Emma smiled and was impressed by Shena's very polite attitude towards her. 

"Maybe we're a fool. Ha ha's. It means you and I will be a pair of daughters-in-law and in-laws" Emma chanted. However, it was actually honest words from his heart. 

Shena simply replied with a smile. Melva nudged her best friend's elbow and lowered her eyebrows to tempt Shena. It makes Shena glare and gives her a code to be quiet.

"I'll take it, Mom." Melva chimed in.

"Yes right. Hi, hi."

"Yes, let's aunt, let's see the design that I have made. Melva do not daydream later the more unsavory," shena sneered. Melva bent her face to hear it and moved her lips. 

Shena just shook her head. The three of them walked into the shop.

"Just a minute, Tan. I took my design above. Um, or is Aunt coming to my room, let's just relax with the discussion?" ask Shena.

"Oh, can? All right, Auntie, that's better."

Shena pulled Emma's fingers and then took her. He turned to Melva and said, "Mel, I'm up first. Please don't let anyone upstairs, will you?" 

Melva nodded steadily and smiled. Shena took Emma to the top floor of her workroom. Emma's heart warms up treated like that by Shena. She has a daughter like the one she has always wanted. 

In the past, after Emma gave birth to Elvino her uterus there were abnormalities due to medical errors. So, she can't get pregnant anymore even with surgery and other. Though he wants to have a daughter also in order to be invited to shop together, salon together and other things. However, he remains grateful no matter how he already has Elvino–anak.

"Tante, welcome to my room. May Aunt be comfortable." Shena opens the door and lets Emma in and asks her to sit on the sofa.

Emma said thank you. He stared in amazement at Shena's room which looked clean, neat and also simple but comfortable. There is a gray sofa in the right corner, not far from it there is a medium-sized work desk. Laptops and writing utensils as well as picture books look neat on the table. Sea blue walls and landscape paintings as a sweetener to the room add to the aesthetics of this place. There was a large pot filled with artificial flowers in the left corner right next to the window. Yellowish colored lights, make the impression of calm.

"Tante, this is a design according to what Aunty detailed. What do you think, Auntie?" shena asked while handing a paper to Emma.

"Waw. This is a great fit, Shen. Auntie wants something like this. Well it feels great that you can understand Aunt's wishes," said Emma with sparkling eyes.

"Thank God. Okay I measured Aunt's body first, yeah. After that I will look for the ingredients and it may take a week to finish. How, Tan?"

"OKAY. All right, so much better. Sorry if you want to measure Aunt's body. Can you stand up, Tan?" shena Pinta.

Emma stood up and spread her arms. Shena measured the circumference of her chest, arms, and waist and recorded it behind the design paper. After that, they chatted casually.

 The day changed so quickly, a week later, Emma came again and tried on the dress that Shena made. He was satisfied and happy with the girl's performance. 

"Shen, aren't you busy?" tanya Emma finished from the fitting room.

"No. Why, Tan?"

"Temenin Aunty shopping, yuk? Aunty wants to shop monthly."

"Alright with pleasure, Tan. But wait for Shena in ten minutes huh. Shena wants to finish this first."

They also shop at the nearest mall. Emma liked Shena. As it turns out, they have a lot in common from the tastes of bags, clothes, and others. 

They are picked up by Elvino, right after dinner at the mall restaurant. 

"Thank you" said Shena when she arrived at her parents' house. Elvino just nodded with a smile then went to deliver Emma.

"El, are you sure there's nothing to do with Shena?" ask the woman.

"What the hell, Ma. Ask that and keep on."

"But you and Shena, it's suspicious. You can tell exactly where he's at without him mentioning it. You go there often, huh? What hayo?"

Elvino dies a flea, he's confused what to answer. His brain thought hard to find the right and logical reason so that his mother did not ask further. Either by chance or how, the ringing of the phone distracts Emma. It seemed to be from his fellow arish.

Elvino breathed a sigh of relief, he finally survived Emma's lash. He knew exactly the mama was easily distracted. So, after this he will forget what he just talked about.

After dropping off Emma, Elvino leaves for the apartment. He is no longer working. Today happened to be the allotment Shena slept in the apartment. With a smile, Elvino spurred his car towards the apartment. When passing through a doll shop, it was hard to buy one for his wife. 

If you think, during the marriage, he has not given anything for her. He chose the biggest bear doll for Shena. 

While humming, Elvino came home and entered the apartment. He took a shower with a lot of soap. Do not forget to spray perfume on his body and clothes to welcome Shena.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shena came with a snack parcel for Elvino.

"Hi, El. Tumben's here?" ask Shena.

"Yes, not so many customers came. So, I decided to go home. Oh, what did you bring?"

"Oh, so. I brought you tiramisu. Mama bought more arisan. Yes, I've brought it here," said Shena then kissed Elvino's hand. Elvino clenched Shena's forehead at a glance. It made Shena like she was electrocuted. Elvino has been like that several times. But somehow the sensation hasn't changed.

SERIATE....
