Only Wife On Paper
On Paper #16
"this is the evidence you asked for" a man gave Santi and Ardi a white envelope. Santi was about to take the envelope, but the man held it. Ardi took out a brown envelope and gave it to the man who had been invited by his wife. The man wearing all-black clothes developed his smile after looking at the contents in the envelope. Santi quickly opened the white envelope that the man had left behind.
Some of the photos were taken by women who still look beautiful at the age of almost half a century. Camera shots of men and women embracing each other were taken from a variety of different angles.
"this is real ?" ask Santi as if unsure
Ardi also took a careful look at the photo sheet in his wife's hand.
They were both researching one after another the photos they had just received from the man earlier. Ardi assures that the photo is really original because there is not the slightest break on either side, the picture is also very sharp, with a slick color.
"i feel like I know the woman in this photo" Ardi tried to remember, Santi continued to urge her husband to try to remember her. The man seemed to think hard while chewing the food that had been ordered by him. While Santi faithfully waited for her husband who was struggling to repeat the memory of the woman seen in the photo with his daughter-in-law.
"i remember now !!" said Ardi made his wife look up instantly.
"who's Pa ?" Santi was curious.
"daughter of Mr. Valdo Hutama" Ardi made sure his memory was not wrong.
"papa sure ?"
"it's not like Mr. Valdo only has 2 twins, it's all boys" Santi was about to laugh at her husband.
"not many know about his daughter, Mr. Valdo married 3 women at about the same time, the woman in the photo is his son with the first wife, while their twins are his children with his third wife" ardi's story is long.
Ardi's relationship with a man named Valdo Hutama is not so close, but he knows quite a lot about his business partner from someone who had tried to influence him to work together to destroy the success of a Valdo Hutama.

Danu residence
El, the girl had just finished her morning breakfast by herself because Danu hadn't come home in days. Nor did he ever preach it, nor did he pick up every single phone call.
When El asked a friend who worked at a company led by her husband, she replied that her boss was taking a few days off. El already understood, surely Danu was going on vacation with Rina in order to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
El got up from his chair, headed for the kitchen to wash the dishes he had just put on for breakfast a plate of fried rice complete with scrambled eggs, vegetables, and sausages.
Ting nong ting nong.......
the house bell rang loudly. El took off the apron he had been wearing, and ran to see his guest. Apparently the two in-laws who came with Rendra. El immediately opened the door and politely invited the three guests in.
El salutes and kisses the back of the hands of two old men in front of him, Dahlia retaliates by landing a kiss of affection on both cheeks of her daughter-in-law.
"your husband hasn't come home yet ?" ask Joseph
"mas Danu .....?." El was confused as to what to answer.
"don't hide anything !! " Dahlia understood that El wanted to protect Danu from the anger of Joseph Wiratama.
