Husband Who (But) Considered

Husband Who (But) Considered
The Eps 11


“Nothing else to explain.”


Such was the short reply Xavier had sent Jenny. Jenny's heart ached. His heart had long been attached to that man. The first man to make her fall in love. But because of a misunderstanding he did with Iqbal was forced to make the man hurt.


Jenny again sent a message to Xavier. He kept trying to convince the man of the real events. Jenny also discussed posting the ring on Xavier's social media account the other day. Xavier said that the ring was for him but unfortunately, the person he would tie his heart to was married to someone else.


Although Jenny's heart is getting claustrophobic, but also tucked in happiness because her love for Xavier does not clap one hand. Then Jenny dialed Xavier's phone number to talk to him directly.


At first Xavier still did not believe Jenny's explanation. But Jenny did not give up. And Xavier finally believed after saying that the incident at the hotel was caused by someone who tried to rape her and was thwarted by Iqbal.


Jenny was so relieved that Xavier had trusted her. He also said that he is currently living in B city for his safety from the man who tried to harass him.


Jenny can feel the disappointment of Xavier after knowing that he lives far away. And again Jenny assures that her heart is only for Xavier. Xavier finally felt relieved.


Jenny puts down her phone after ending her conversation with Xavier. Then his eyes fell on the door of his room that was slightly open. But Jenny would be a fool if Iqbal heard that.


After taking a shower, Jenny exits her room intending to have an afternoon of heartfelt service while ordering food for her dinner later. Jenny's sense of smell suddenly sniffed the smell of very delicious cooking and immediately made her stomach rumble.


“Who is cooking this afternoon? What's the next door neighbor? But the distance of the house is far, masay’ yes smell until here anyway.” Mumbled Jenny.


Then Jenny went into the kitchen to get a drink. But his steps came to a halt when he saw a familiar figure in his eyes wearing an apron and was busy moving his hands through cooking. Jenny was surprised to see that sight. He didn't think Iqbal could cook. And the smell of the cooking he smelled earlier came from Iqbal's cooking.


Even Jenny was unknowingly fascinated with the style of Iqbal cooking. The man was wearing only a black t-shirt and matching colored shorts. Coupled with Iqbal hair that is still a little wet and disheveled because it is not combed.


“Ehm, anything you need?” Iqbal asked when he realized Jenny was in the kitchen.


Jenny's still flinching. He was still daydreaming about something to the point of not hearing what Iqbal said.


“There are you looking for or you need?” ask Iqbal again.


“Eh, um no. I'm just gonna grab a drink.” Jenny replied stammered and immediately picked up the cold water in the refrigerator.


While Iqbal looked indifferent after hearing Jenny's answer. He continued his cooking. Iqbal makes quite a lot of fried rice and takes one serving into a dish. The rest he put on the frying pan.


“If you want there is still one serving of fried rice.” Iqbal said as Jenny returned to the living room.


No response from Jenny. Iqbal doesn't care. He immediately ate his fried rice. While Jenny who had been sitting on the sofa in the middle room seemed to swallow her saliva when she saw the fried rice presented in the plate Iqbal earlier.


Finally Jenny decided to eat the rice goerng offered by Iqbal earlier.


“Still.” Jenny said briefly as she brought a plate of fried rice and sat down to join Iqbal.


Iqbal only nodded faintly. Then she stood up to wash the dishes, after which left Jenny who was still eating. While Jenny really enjoyed the fried rice made by Iqbal that is very good.


Inside the house looked very quiet even though there were two people inhabiting it. Although a couple, but both are busy with their respective affairs. Because that status is no different from just a verbal agreement.


Staying a few days together made Jenny long to be bored. As is known that Jenny's busy life is working as a designer at her Mama's boutique. And now he's confused what to do.


Meanwhile, finished eating Iqbal instantly came out to meet with his friends. The four of them had promised to meet at their cafe.


As Iqbal was about to leave, he noticed Jenny was busy playing with her phone. Nevertheless, Iqbal said goodbye to Jenny.


“Hmm” Jenny replied briefly.


***


Now Iqbal has gathered with three of his friends. This was their second meeting at a cafe. They can spend the night like this because there is no more work to be done.


“Guys try to see a girl who just came! Wow so body, beautiful again.” Seloroh Felix arrives.


Just contact Haidar and Galang follow the direction of Felix's view on the figure of a woman who had just entered the cafe.


Iqbal was not affected at all. He was busy eating French Fries in front of him.


“Beauty also wife Iqbal.” Galang said after seeing the woman.


“What?? Really?” ask Felix enthusiastically.


Iqbal was just silent not answering Felix's question which he thought was not important. Iqbal also knew Felix's temper who was a playboy. So his eyes are always beautiful if he sees a clear one.


“What if Iqbal's wife is beautiful? Want you to embat?” said Haidar chimed.


“Yes is not. Cook it I marry my own friend. But at least I can often play to his house to wash my eyes.” Felix answered with a big laugh.


Haidar and Galang just shook their heads when they saw Felix's silliness. And again Iqbal without indifference.


“You've got Bal?” working ask Galang.


“But.” Answer Iqbal.


“Eh Bal, I almost forgot. My cousin is on leave probably for one more week because his wife wants to give birth. He works at a company, but parts a warehouse. Yesterday he said he wanted to find a replacement because some days will come the goods that will enter. Do you want?” said Haidar.


“Bby also. where? And when can I work?” ask Iqbal enthusiastically.


“Nothing do you work in the warehouse section?” ask Felix a little in disbelief.


“As long as the job is halal, I will do it. So when can I work?” answer Iqbal and make his three friends salute.


“I don't know for sure. Just gini, I'll give you my cousin's contact. You can ask him directly. It seems he needs it soon enough. Because his wife estimated lahiran in this week.” replied Haidar.


“Ok alright. Thanks yes, Dar!” Iqbal.
