Irwan took Nurman's taxi which he had just called. Actually, the taxi that Nurman was driving was not an ordinary taxi. The taxi was only intended to take and pick up Joya.
With help from Buce, Gio's father, Irwan gets a vehicle and clothes for Joya. His aunt's ex-husband did not even hesitate to give Irwan one of his luxury car collections. Irwan's car is stored in the company's basement building or car storage near his house.
Gio's parents are divorced, Buce and Melani, Irwan's aunts, divorced since Gio was little. But even so, the relationship between the two is still well established. Buce even considered Irwan as his own son, even though Irwan's attitude was always cold to him.
Because of his closeness to Buce, in his difficult condition, Irwan dared to ask for his help. Irwan doesn't want to take the risk by asking his aunt for help, especially Gio. Irwan doesn't want his aunt and cousin to get into trouble because of him.
"How could I forget it," muttered Irwan, when he remembered the man who had been bothering his wife lately.
Irwan took his cellphone from his jacket pocket and called Gio. When the dial tone connected, Gio's hoarse voice greeted on the other side.
" why are you calling? are you already at the office? - Gio
" I go to the office after lunch. I have to meet Grandma."- Irwan
" What? Then what about the approval of the new project budget? Shouldn't you check it this morning?"- Gio
"Just send me the soft file. I'll check it after I meet Grandma." - Irwan
"Fine. I'm relieved you didn't ask me to look into it. My head feels like it's going to explode with all the paperwork I need to prepare before I leave."- Gio
Irwan smiled slightly. Gio is always looking forward to work, until finally he is overwhelmed. Gio is a bit lazy.
" Oh yes, are you at the office?" - Irwan
" I haven't even been home from work since yesterday."- Gio
"That's great! Please pick up Joya downstairs. Keep her away from people who are bothering her."
" Annoying? Who dares to disturb my brother-in-law?"- Gio
"Hurry up! Make sure Joya is okay."
Without hearing Gio's approval, Irwan immediately hung up the phone.
Irwan gripped his phone tightly. If only he hadn't seen Joya's worried expression on Erlina's disturbance. Maybe Irwan will not meet his grandmother. Joya's anxiety bothers Irwan. He didn't like to see the smile on his wife's face fade because of her anxiety.
"Are you sure Grandma is at home today?" asked Irwan to Nurman.
Norman nodded quickly. "I have confirmed it to Alvin."
"That's great! Actually I miss Grandma too," admitted Irwan with a look in his eyes that turned sad.

"Sorry, I have to go upstairs immediately," said Joya firmly.
Joya clenched her fists angrily. Pramono again bothers him. When Joya entered the lobby, the man was already waiting for her. Pramono apologizes and without hesitation expresses his love for her.
Pram grabbed Joya's hand. " I really like you, Joya. Please give me a chance to prove my love."
Joya immediately let go of Pram's grip. "Sir! I am a married woman. It is not appropriate for you to have feelings like that for me. Please look for another woman. There are many single women who are better than me."
Pramono is furious with Joya's rejection. "Why are you sticking with a useless husband. It's better, you divorce him and accept my love."
PLAK!
"Watch your mouth carefully. You have no right to insult my husband like that," snapped Joya.
Prem was stunned. He didn't expect Joya to dare to slap him. Moreover, the sound of Joya's slap was very loud. Making everyone glance at him. "Dare you humiliate me." Pram's gaze looks wild.
" Sorry! I don't tolerate people insulting my husband. Excuse me!" Joya took a step, but Pram again grabbed Joya's hand.
" You, you arrogant woman. You think you,-"
" What is this?" Gio's deep voice interrupted Pram's words. Gio approached Pram, then let go of the hand that was holding Joya's hand and gripped it tightly. "Please watch your attitude. I don't like the comfort of my employees being disturbed," said Gio as he let go of Pram's hand roughly.
Pramono looked down and touched his red wrist. "Sorry sir! It's just a misunderstanding."
" Is it true?" Gio glanced at Joy. Seeing Joya's face turning bright red, Gio could deduce the answer himself. Gio stares at Pramono sharply. "Pak Pram, I hope this is the last time you are rude to employees. I will not hesitate to act decisively if you repeat this."
Pram nodded in annoyance. " ok sir. Sorry!"
"Come on, let's go upstairs," said Gio.
Joya nodded while walking behind Gio. When he passed Pram, Joya sneered and gave him a sharp look. It turned out that his hunch had been right all along, Pram wasn't a nice guy.
Joya and Gio enter the elevator. As soon as the door closed, the lift sped up, taking them to the top floor.
Pram looked at Joya's departure with a vengeful look. He was not accepted, rejected and humiliated. "Just watch! You will definitely be mine."
Not far from where Pram was standing. Windy stared at the elevator carrying Joya angrily. He was annoyed, Windy didn't like seeing Gio being kind to his younger brother.
' Why do all the men I like always treat you special? What do you have that I don't? thought Windy. He immediately went to his office.
The elevator that Windy took up to the 48th floor. With annoyed steps, Windy walked to her desk. Today, Leo had to monitor the field. So, his husband wasn't working in the office.
"Shit! PRAK!" Windy cursed as he threw his tote bag. "JOya! You're doing something wrong again. Why do you always get whatever I'm after?" growled Windy.
"What should I do to get you away from my life, you damn sister!" Windy hissed. His hands clenched tightly, his eyes narrowed and his chest roared with anger.
For Windy, Joya is nothing more than a bully. From childhood until now, Joya only interferes in his life. Starting from parental love that must be shared, favorite items that must be given to Joya, to Windy's friends who always compare her and Joya.
It was very uncomfortable having a sister who was only a few months old from him. Everyone always compares them. Making Windy have to fight tooth and nail to always be the best so people don't turn their backs on her.
Windy thought that Joya's leaving the house would make her life calm. However, what happened was the opposite. They met at the company. And unfortunately, Joya served as secretary to the CEO. The position Windy has been aiming for.
Before Ridwan replaced Gio, Windy was his secretary. He accompanied Gio from the beginning of his tenure as CEO. When Ridwan arrives, Gio gives him the choice of staying or moving floors.
Gio said Ridwan was a picky person. Gio cannot guarantee that Ridwan will accept Windy as his secretary. Because while in America, Ridwan had changed secretaries dozens of times.
As a precaution, Windy also chose to move floors and was assigned to be the secretary of the director of business development. Seeing how many people resigned because they couldn't stand working with Ridwan, Windy was grateful for her decision.
However, when she found out that Joya was able to survive, Windy was furious. He envied his younger sister who was able to become Ridwan's secretary with less work experience.
Of all the disturbances that Joya did. Windy is most disturbed by the relationship between Joya and Irwan. Their relationship looks fine. In fact, Windy had planned carefully. He deliberately asked his father to marry Joya to Irwan to make Joya's life miserable.
Which woman will stand it, living with an indifferent and unemployed man like Irwan. Windy wants Joya to feel what it's like to be with a cold-hearted man. He wanted to see Joya tormented inside, not to be touched and not fed.
However, what Windy has seen recently has made him furious. Irwan, who used to be indifferent and cold, is now warm and considerate of Joya.
They look like any other normal couple. Laughing, walking side by side, holding hands, Irwan even accompanied Joya to work. Something Irwan had never done to him.
Windy is very jealous of her sister. "Joya... you are a parasite in my life. I really hate you."
