“You really are okay, Bal?” ask Galang.
“Iya. I'm fine.” Answer Iqbal.
Galang very know the attitude of his best friend who does not easily pour out his heart. From the truth, he already knew that Iqbal seemed to be having problems hidden. But Galang also did not dare to pry deeper information about the personal life of his best friend.
“How is your household life Bal?” ask suddenly.
Iqbal got a question from Galang could only exhale his coarse breath. Actually, he really needs someone to provide a solution to the problem he is facing but he also does not know where to start.
“We are just two, say if you really want to talk something. Even though I myself have never lived in a household.” Galang.
“Entah Lang. I do not know how my current household.” replied Iqbal finally.
Finally Iqbal told Galang about Jenny who asked for divorce after one year of marriage later. At first Galang was very surprised and did not believe that Jenny could make such a request.
“He does not love me Lang. You know for yourself that my marriage is only to cover the disgrace of the great family of Mr. Vito. Jenny also has a lover.” Iqbal.
“Yes I know that. Don't you love Jenny?” tanya Galang and Iqbal fell silent.
“Do you not love Jenny at all, Bal?” Error repeating the question.
“Don't I tell you Jenny already has a boyfriend. He even comes from a very good family. It feels like Jenny is very difficult to reach.” Iqbal replied as his gaze glared far away.
From the answer given by Iqbal, Galang was able to conclude that his best friend had fallen in love with a woman who had the status of his own wife.
“When you can use one year well Bal. if you do not want the divorce, you can take Jenny's heart slowly. I'm sure someone's heart can change.” Galang.
“No way, Lang.he only thinks of me as Big Brother. No more than that.” Iqbal.
“Create first. Don't be that pessimistic. Even though he asks for a relationship only limited to brother sister, at least you can give more attention to him. Long time too Jenny will be interested in you.” Galang.
Iqbal just kept quiet. But he confirmed the words of his best friend. He'll pay attention to Jenny. Let the girl think of herself as a sister. Iqbal doesn't care about Xavier either.
“If for the sake of love, being selfish is sometimes necessary.” Galang.

It's been a few days since Iqbal and Jenny's domestic life has gone on as normal. But now something has changed a little. Iqbal has not banned Jenny from doing homework.she lets Jenny do whatever she wants. Including cooking. Even sometimes Jenny asked Iqbal to be taught to make fried rice which he said was very good.
Iqbal no longer cared if his status as a husband was not considered. Because Jenny still thinks of him as a sister, nothing more. But Iqbal still gave his attention as Galang once said.

“It just so happens tomorrow weekend, do you want to go somewhere?” Iqbal asked while he was having breakfast with Jenny.
“Ehm, it looks like we need grocery shopping. Because lately the groceries that Kak Iqbal bought I spent on learning to cook, sorry.” Jenny said no good.
“Not a problem. Do whatever makes you happy. Yes, we will shop tomorrow.” Answer Iqbal.
After breakfast, Iqbal went to work. While Jenny cleaned up the leftovers and began cleaning the house.The activity was getting used to Jenny doing. He also enjoyed the job very much.
Jenny and Xavier are doing well. Until now they still exchange news via telephone or sometimes video calls. Xavier's very busy work makes him have to undo his intention to visit the city of B. Jenny doesn't mind that either.

Meanwhile Iqbal who had just arrived at his workplace, he was immediately told to meet Mr. Halim to his room. Iqbal still tried to calm down even though his feelings were not good. Did he make a fatal mistake to cause Mr. Halim to call him.
Iqbal's heart was relieved even though he did not know what Mr. Halim meant to call him. Because from the look on his face the man seemed to be smiling at him, there seemed to be no mistake he made.
“You know why I called you here?” asked Mr. Halim and Iqbal shook his head.
“After this you come to the Ceo room on the 7th floor. You meet Mrs Sarah. He is waiting for you now.” said Mr. Halim.
“What am I going to see Lady Sarah for, Sir?” ask Iqbal confused.
“Later you will know the answer. Now go there now. I know what is best for you.” Said Mr. Halim.
And after exiting Mr. Halim's room, Iqbal immediately headed to the 7th floor to meet the company's Ceo. On the way Iqbal was still thinking hard, why he had to see Lady Sarah. And what does Mr. Halim mean if he knows best.

Iqbal has arrived at the 7th floor. The floor where there are only two rooms. Then Iqbal asked someone he believed to be a secretary to Lady Sarah.
“Sorry, Miss. Is this really Miss Sarah's room?” Iqbal asked a woman of Jenny's age.
“True. Are you Mr Iqbal?” ask a woman tagged Olivia.
“Iya, I Iqbal.” Answer Iqbal.
“Let me drive into Lady Sarah's room.” Olivia said politely.
Finally Iqbal followed Olivia's steps into Lady Sarah's room. Arriving in the room was a middle-aged woman of Desy's age, wearing her glasses while researching a file in her hand.
“Good morning Mistress. This Mr. Iqbal has come.” Olivia.
Lady Sarah stopped her work for a moment. Then let go of his savage.
“Good. Thank you Oliv. Mr. Iqbal please sit.” Said Mrs Sarah.
After Olivia came out of Lady Sarah's room. Now Iqbal and Lady Sarah are in the room. Iqbal was still wondering why he had to meet the woman.
“Ganendra Iqbal Bramantyo or Mr Iqbal?” said Mrs Sarah and Iqbal nodding.
“I've read your CV. And I've also got a report from the head of the warehouse on the incident that happened a few days ago. I am very grateful for your actions that successfully dismantled crime in my company.” Said Mrs Sarah.
“Sama-sama Mistress.” Answer Iqbal briefly.
“And as your tribute, from now on you no longer I place in the warehouse. You I'm raising to be my assistant. Your job is to help my work. Later you will cooperate with Olivia, my secretary.” Said Mrs Sarah.
Iqbal was both surprised and pleased. He did not expect that he would get a promotion so soon, and then he shook the hand of Lady Sarah to say thank you. After that, Lady Sarah called Olivia to tell her room.
After Iqbal came out of the room, Lady Sarah seemed to smile. He finally found the right person to help with his work. Previously, the middle-aged woman had already searched for information about Iqbal. It turns out that Iqbal was once a personal assistant of a ceo in a fairly well-known company. So Lady Sarah has no doubt about Iqbal's abilities anymore.
