Husband Who (But) Considered
The Eps 130

After coming out of Gita's room, Jenny saw the atmosphere of the house was very quiet. He approached his son's room. There turned out to be Daniel and Chandra who were busy playing games.

“Ma, what's up?” ask Daniel.

“You two accompany Mama to boutique.” Jenny said briefly.

Daniel glanced at Chandra. Daniel has understood the meaning of his mother if this night ask to be accompanied to the boutique, it's a sign that his mother will sleep there. And Chandra doesn't mind either.

Moments later Jenny goes to the boutique without her husband's knowledge. Because Iqbal is currently in his study. Jenny chose a boutique for her seclusion. And perhaps with this, the hearts of the child and her husband slowly softened.

“Mama is fine?” daniel asked when he saw his mother still sobbing.

“Mama is okay.” Answer Jenny.

Chandra was silent. She also doesn't want to go too far with Jenny's family problems, though a little bit she already knows what's going on.

Meanwhile, Axel was sitting on the sofa in his room. Nia was there too. The woman looked painstakingly compressing the bruise on Axel's cheek due to Iqbal earlier.

The pain all over his face was no longer felt. Because at this time his heart was very upset after hearing directly Iqbal's rejection when he was about to account for his actions to the Gita. Not only that, even his father was also very angry with his own best friend. Axel was even more afraid that his Papa would not support him either.

“Already, now make a break. Take this painkiller first.” Nia.

“Ma! What if Papa doesn't approve of Axel?” ask Axel.

“Do you really love Gita?” Nia asked.

“Iya, Mother. Axel has loved her for a long time. But Gita always misunderstands Axel's attention. Gita is also near personal assistant Om Iqbal. Axel even heard himself that the man intends to apply for Gita after graduation later.” Axel.

“So that's why you did the deed on Gita?” ask Nia to make sure.

“This is wrong, Ma. But Axel doesn't want the Gita to be owned by anyone else. Excuse Axel, Ma if the way Axel fights for Gita should be the wrong way.” Answer Axel.

Nia was silent again. He understood what his son was feeling right now, but he couldn't blame Axel completely either. Maybe after this she will take her husband to talk well.

“Yes already, you better rest first. Later let Mama talk to your Papa.” Nia.

“Thank you very much, Ma.”

Nia went into her room. Her husband was waiting for her too. Maybe this is the right time to talk about the problems faced by his son.

“Mas, how do Mas think about our son and Gita?” ask Nia.

“I'm still confused, too, honey. But I still don't accept it because Iqbal judged Axel that way. On the other hand, I also wanted Gita long ago to be our daughter-in-law.” Answer Felix.

Felix still remembers when he used to joke around wanting to match Gita with Axel. But Iqbal firmly rejected it. Not to refuse in the true sense, but to let his children determine their own partner. Since then Felix let Axel and Gita's relationship is only limited to sister.

“If I think, better wait for the right situation first, Mas. Maybe Iqbal was emotional so he was easily ignited emotions. Who wouldn't be angry to know that his daughter was treated that way. Although Axel has already admitted his feelings to Gita.” Nia.

“And Axel did it all not because he took advantage of Gita's weakness while under the influence of drugs. But because Axel does not want Gita owned by other men. He heard for himself that there will be men who propose to Gita after graduation later.” Nia.

Felix nodded and chose to follow the advice given by his wife. After that he took his wife to sleep because it was night.

While Gita also did not dare to see the face of her Papa. She knew that her Papa was still in an angry fashion. I don't know who's angry. But Gita's heart is also being filled with guilt for her mother for yelling at her last night.

“Finished meal, Papa wait in the workspace.” Iqbal.

“Good, Pa.” replied Gita while bowed.

Not long after, Gita enters her Papa's study. Gita's heart is getting worse. I don't know what her father wanted to talk about after knowing the real events. Because the Gita has absolutely no idea what happened last night in the living room.

“What's up, Pa?” ask Gita.

“Papa will approve Axel to account for his actions.” Answer Iqbal.

“But, Pa. Gita does not want to. Gita hates Kak Axel for having used-“ Gita's speech cut off.

“Enough Gita!! Papa doesn't want rejection. Did you ever think that something happened because of Axel? Are you going to embarrass this family?” it turns out Iqbal just realized that Gita is as stubborn as he is.

“Here is Gita the victim, Pa. Why should Gita be cornered like this?” Gita tried to hold her stuff.

“Well if you refuse it. Means you are ready to lose your Mama who is sure not to return to this house.not only refuse to meet with you, but with Papa too. please do what you want. If you really prefer to see our family forever like this.” said Iqbal in a firm voice and left Gita who was still silent in his study.

Finally Iqbal can dampen his ego. After a night of silence alone without his wife beside him, slowly Iqbal's heart softened. He could not be left behind by his wife for too long. Last night it felt like a long time ago. Although he knows the impact will make Gita more sick, but he will try to persuade Gita to accept Axel. And all that will not be separated from the interference of his wife.

Now Iqbal chose to go to his wife's boutique instead of going to the office because he had given his job to Dimas, his personal assistant.

Iqbal saw the boutique was still not open, because it was still at half 8. There was also a car that Daniel used to drive his mother last night.

“Where is your Mama?” Iqbal asked as he saw Daniel and Chandra sitting on the sofa downstairs.

“In his study room, Pa.” replied Daniel.

It didn't take long, Iqbal immediately headed towards the second floor entering his wife's study. There Jenny was standing facing the open window.

Grep

Iqbal immediately hugged his wife's body from behind. He is not strong if ignored like this by the woman who has become his rib.

“Honey, go home! I'm sorry.” said Iqbal.

“Let's both convince Gita to accept Axel.” Iqbal.
