False Passion (Selfish Marriage)
45. Looks Very Handsome

Benn took Eril in his black sedan car, sliding out of the old man's house. For dinner, as well as meeting business associates at the restaurant Irawan, owned by his parents as well.

Eril was silent during the trip. Because Benn also seemed to focus on the path he occupied. Feeling reluctant to start the conversation.

"Ril, you want to take your mama and your son to the villa?" ask Benn suddenly. The one asked looked at her with a very bright face.

"You're gonna take me there, Benn?" welcome Eril very enthusiastically.

Benn nodded his head assenting.

"Yes, Benn, take me to your family's villa. I want to catch up with Evan." Eril told Benn.

"But after dawn we have to go down, Ril. My work is piled up" Benn explained, looking at Eril for a moment.

"Yes, Benn. No problem for a moment." Eril.

The car has veered into the parking lot of a restaurant that tonight looks full of visitors. Eril's forehead was frowned upon by the restaurant he had visited with the young policeman, Jovan. This is the man's favorite restaurant.

"Think you've been to this diner before,,?" benn's voice sounded suddenly. That handsome face was smiling somewhat sourly.

"Irawan's Family,,?" eril gumam. Read the jumbo plaque from the name of the restaurant that looks sparkling at night. And didn't have time to read the name of this restaurant while going with Jovan that day.

"It belongs to my father, Ril. Pack with the hotel once. It just looks separate. For the hotel, the courtyard is on the other side. So opposite and like alone. The two buildings meet and merge."

Benn explained to Eril while tidying up his appearance.

"Why don't you take care of your parents' business, Benn,,?" ask Eril later.

"She.ha.ha.." Benn did not answer but laughed.

"Why are you laughing, Benn? Am I wrong like that?" Eril looked confused.

"No, Eril. Only you need to know. I am actually incapable of anything. All the foundations I've been working on, who's that if it's not my parents? I don't have anything. All on behalf of parents. I'm still eating my real salary." explained Benn with his big soul.

"Then, who were you chasing after to get married for six months with me, from whom?" eril asked just inquisitively.

"It was from my grandmother. I used to have to marry Desta. But there are revisions, if you're married and at least six months old" Benn explained as he opened the car door. The man was already outside.

Eril followed Benn into the Irawan restaurant by walking in the back. The few servants who saw Benn's arrival, immediately nodded respectfully and gave their sweetest smiles.

Benn stopped stepping abruptly, turning around waiting until Eril stopped in front of him. He grabbed her hand and walked together. Eril was silent. Feeling Benn's hand grip very warm on his wrist.

Heading to a table in the corner were already three people waiting for him. Two men and one woman are large enough for a woman.

"It's Makhlum, Dhil. Baruu's bride.. An hour is useful.. I don't think we know how it feels,,,!" men with glasses eyes that look stiff and cynical, it turns out humorous.

"Sorry late bro, how, how, how, what,,?!" ask Benn who feels wrong with his slowness. Ignoring their joking insinuations towards him. They look familiar.

The two men are one of the many shareholders, donors, and field movers of the Lee foundation and Irawan group. It is also headquartered in the main building. Same roof with Benn's work office over there. They occupy offices on the first and second floors. But already so familiar with the only son of the Irawan family, namely Benn.

"Mas Benn, introduce his beautiful wife to us, dong," the woman said and looked at Eril with a smile. Eril replied with a sweet friendly smile from the woman.

"Yes.yes.yes.. Introduce you, this is my wife. You guys just call Eril. Ril, introduce yourself to them" Benn said, patting Eril on the back.

Benn's two male colleagues, Asep, wear glasses, and Fadhil, wear cocoa. Both are married and have children. He was only a few years above Benn.

"Eril," said Eril as he shook hands with the woman who had asked Benn to introduce himself.

"Rika," said the large-bodied woman and seemed very firm in her field.

Rika's gaze was like admiring Eril's appearance. Several times he was caught stealing glances at the young mother's wacky body. Although the dress used is polite and not open. But the shape of Eril's body that contained it could not be manipulated at all. It can make the envy of women. And maybe one of them is Rika..

"Sit down, Eril," said Benn. It was as if he was disconnecting the interaction between Rika and Eril. Benn pulled out a chair next to him to thrust closer at Eril.

Eril threw a smile for a while at Benn then nodded and sat down. Try to sit quietly and prepare to be quiet. Feel yourself as a complement. Will not understand and connect to their business chat at the dinner table.

"How, has there been a decision from you, from some of the schemes we discussed in the building earlier?" benn asked in a serious tone and look at the three colleagues at the table.

"In my opinion, help will be directly handed over to the committee and the management of earthquake victims in Cianjur alone, mas Benn. No need to pass the sponsorship. We give priority to immediate delivery. If it passes the sponsorship, it will take time and hinder the delivery. Our names may skyrocket, but it feels less fitting in time mourning like this, mas. But the decision is in your hands, Benn mas," said the teary-eyed and young-looking Asep.

Benn was speechless, weighing for a moment. Staring at Fadhi, Asep and Rika in turn. And when the person being looked upon has nodded almost simultaneously then. And Benn also joined the nengangguk at last.

"Alright, I think that's good, too. In the midst of the crisis of sincerity in this age. What's wrong with us being pIONEers and we're defending that noble culture. The right hand gives, the left hand does not know. Don't forget to grab the symbolic document while delivering there. Not a thank you, just for a written report so that the data you make is more accurate" explained Benn intended to support the idea of the promoter, Asep.

Eril who may have no business and without any interest, just listen and pay attention. Although it was not a demand for him.

Observing Benn secretly. Men with different personalities in different places. During this time, togetherness with him almost completely exhausted in the room. Benn was like curbing and locking him up. The man tends to be childish, spoiled, affectionate, and even perverted occasionally. That was the impression Eril had encountered all this time.

And now, at the dinner table with some colleagues is discussing work. The spoiled man turned resolute, authoritative and calm. His co-workers seemed disinclined, respectful, and obedient. But sometimes they also interspersed with important chats that joking.

At the dinner table, Eril felt that he saw the man as another new person. Charming and awesome guy. A person who describes himself as a boss, businessman and wealthy tycoon.

Not a weathered man who simply marries and rewards a billion. But in Eril's eyes, back then Benn looked extremely handsome!
