The Enchantment of the Pelintrik

The Instincts of a Man Hanging

Irma released her husband's departure to attend the salon entrepreneur gathering with an unwilling heart. I don't know, her instincts say there's something wrong waiting for her husband out there. Moreover, Beni's behavior is not as usual. The clothes worn to go to the cafe were much more neat.

From morning to evening, Irma guarded the sembako stall next to the salon while watching her husband. Beni is busy serving customers because it only has one employee. However, on the sidelines of busyness, Beni always took the time to open her phone to reply to someone's message.

The phone was like a shirt, firmly attached to his body. Either it's in the hand or it's on one side of his jeans bag. Irma was really inexhaustible, how could Beni be so enthusiastic and possessive with her phone?

During this time, Irma never again teased the contents of Beni's phone because of great trust. Her husband's cell phone was always placed in any place.

Before they were blessed with children, Irma did not believe in her husband. But having never found the suspicious element that smelled of women on Beni's phone, Irma's trust thrives. He no longer cares about Beni's phone that is often seen in just any place.

Now, Beni's cell phone spot is a pants pocket and a pillow bottom. Her husband even carried the phone everywhere, as if afraid Irma would reveal her secret.

Irma had already tried to get her son to borrow his father's phone to play games. Usually the phone is easily available. But this time his son's efforts failed. Whining his son replaced enough pocket money by Beni so that Irma did not dwell.

Irma could only wait as Beni forgot to put down her phone, so she could see the contents. But when? After being remembered more observant, Beni is protective with his phone for three days.

“Mbak, I help you at what shop in the salon?” ask Beni's sister to Irma.

Dina just graduated from High School one month ago. He came from the village to seek his fortune in the city. Dina still hasn't gotten a job, so she stays hitchhiking at her sister's house. Helping the business of Beni salon that has been running for several years. Her sister had experience working in a salon before marrying Irma.

Her brother's business was pioneered after Beni quit his workplace. Irma who does not have expertise in the field her husband occupied chose to open a food stall. Two efforts that went together have seen results. Beni and Irma have a big house despite not having a car. They are now saving for the vehicle needs of the family.

Yes, Irma besides not having the expertise, nor is she talented working with her hands in the salon. He cannot be smooth when providing services to customers. Some customers have said that it tastes bad when the hair is washed or dried by Irma. Customers prefer those who do both things Beni or Dila, their employees.

Initially, Irma was jealous, salon customers were considered too alay because she wanted to be served by her handsome and flexible husband. However, gradually Irma could accept the reason. They deserve to choose the best service for comfort.

The end ... rather than losing customers, mending Irma did not interfere in the affairs of her husband's salon. He only helped buy salon needs if Beni was busy and could not leave work.

“Mas Beni where the hell, Mbak?” Dina was curious because she had seen her brother dandan neat and smelled fragrant when out of the house.

“There is a salon entrepreneur gathering said.”

“What time is it usually if the event is so, Mbak?”

“No idea Din,” replied Irma with a lazy expression.

Dina said slowly, “Wah, it's really good Mas Beni eating out, where it's not rhyming!”

“Ya already there temenin Dila, usually night is not rame really. Most just a haircut!” push Irma smooth. He was not going to discuss Beni and his activities outside the house.
