Husband Who (But) Considered
The eps 67

Since two years ago the company Billal has opened a new branch in the city of B. although Billal does not live in the city, but he has an apartment for where he stops if he is visiting a branch company.

Actually, not only that why Billal had to buy an apartment in the city of B. but it was all advice from his cousin who was none other than Vito. Vito asks Billal to always monitor his daughter who chose to live in town B since Brigita's birth. Billal was happy to obey his cousin.

Billal's feelings for Jenny are not what they used to be. He loved Jenny as his niece. Although Jenny's attitude is still a little cold to her. Billal himself does not know about Jenny's personal affairs, including about her household. Because neither Jenny herself nor her parents ever told her anything.

After playing with Gita. Billal decided to go back to his apartment. He felt tired after returning home from a business trip abroad. But when he was about to step his foot out suddenly there was the sound of someone calling out to him.

“Iya, Jen what's up?” ask Billal.

“Thank you Om. Thank you for loving Gita.” Jenny.

“Don't say it like that. Gita I've thought of as my own son.” Answer Billal.

“Despite that, I hope Om knows the limitations.” Jenny said, because somehow she felt that Billal still expected it.

“You don't worry about that. I know what you think of me. My advice is better tell Gita immediately about who her real father is.” Billal said then left just like that leaving Jenny who was still silent.

After Billal died, Jenny immediately sat limp on the living room sofa. It is true that Billal is right that Gita must know who her real father is. But Jenny herself is not ready to face the reality if her son later asks the whereabouts of his biological father. Because he himself until now does not know where the real father is.

“Mistress, sorry I have to go back to the boutique because I just got a call from Reni if any customer ordered a dress.” Lidya.

“Iya. Is Gita asleep?” ask Jenny.

“Have Mistress. After taking the medicine, Non Gita go straight to sleep.” Answer Lidya.

Meanwhile, Iqbal was in his house this afternoon. After the arrival of Farah who discussed about ART who would stay settled in her house, Iqbal felt a little relieved because the house would not be quiet anymore.

Iqbal took his foot to the top floor. For some reason he suddenly felt very homesick with his room first. Either miss his room or with the figure of the occupants of the room. Slowly Iqbal opened the room next to his room which still looked empty. The room that Jenny had dreamed of for her study. But all that just vanished after there was a storm in his household to make himself and Jenny had to separate.

After that Iqbal opened the door of his room. The room he lived in several times with his wife. Now there are only memories. Suddenly the longing attacked Iqbal's heart so strongly. He was eager to meet the woman even if just a greeting.

“Jenny, until whenever I still love you even though you are currently living happily with your husband.” Iqbal.

Iqbal took his foot to the balcony of his room. He opened the door and saw the view from the balcony. Iqbal took a deep breath so that his chest was not too crowded because he missed the figure he loved so much.

Iqbal's eyes turned to the house standing right next to him. Iqbal was surprised when he saw a little girl playing with a doll there. And that child was the one he had met several times.

Iqbal pulled the corner of his lips up when he saw the boy playing very fun even though alone. He kept watching the boy. But suddenly the boy went inside by calling his mother's name. After that Iqbal decided to go inside.

Jenny who rarely went out of the house and never interacted with anyone, she did not know that the house next to her house had returned there were inhabited. For her most importantly she felt safe living next to her ex-husband's house.

In the evening Iqbal went out to dinner with Farah and Galang. He was already preparing to head to the restaurant using his car. But when Iqbal came out of the gate of his house he saw a house where there was a man who had just entered the car. Iqbal thought that the man must be the father of the little boy he met playing on the balcony earlier.

Arriving at the restaurant, Iqbal saw Farah and Galang were already sitting there. But there is another woman who looks fun talking to Farah.

“Hai, Bal! come here sit.” Farah and Iqbal said only a faint nod.

“Include him my friend, Danisa.” Farah.

Iqbal received a speech from the hand of a woman named Danisa. After that the four of them sat together while waiting for the food order to come.

Iqbal talked to Galang. While Farah with Danisa. Since then Danisa has not ceaselessly stolen the view of Iqbal. The beautiful woman seemed very interested in Iqbal. but Iqbal seemed to not care.

While Galang feels bad with his best friend. He knew that Iqbal was very uncomfortable with Danisa. Whereas Galang had previously banned Farah who would bring Iqbal closer to Danisa. Farah did not care. Farah wants to bring Iqbal closer to Danisa so that Iqbal can forget a little about his past.

“Bal, you know that Danisa's father also includes business partners in our company?” said Farah.

Iqbal just kept quiet while smiling faintly at Farah.

“So later if you meet, you can meet directly with Danisa. Because usually Danisa requested her Papa to meet with some of her clients.” Said Farah again.

Iqbal who seemed to know Farah's intentions, he chose to leave dinner first even though the food he still did not touch.

“Where are you?” ask Galang.

“Sorry, I still have needs. You guys continue the dinner.” Iqbal answered without seeing Danisa and Farah.
