Irwan released the brake pedal, drove the car slowly. Glanced to the right and left of the road, making sure his wife was not on the street. It felt that Joya had really left, Irwan pressed the gas pedal deeper, trying to catch up with Joya to the place where they usually met.
Irwan stopped his car in front of the company building, where Joya usually waited for a taxi. His head was looking around for his wife. Irwan growled when he couldn't find her. In fact, only a few minutes ago Joya came out, but she had disappeared.
"Has Joya gotten a taxi yet?" he muttered.
Under these circumstances, Irwan cursed himself for having to live in two identities. Irwan didn't mean to lie to Joya, but circumstances forced him to remain silent.
It all started with a feud between the families of his father and mother. Erlina Lung, Irwan's paternal grandmother, really hates the Lung family, her mother's family. Erlina believes that the death of her son, Ridwan Lung, was caused by Tiara Wanlung, Irwan's mother.
Ridwan and Tiara married at a young age. They married without the consent of the man. Erlina wanted her son to continue his studies, but Ridwan preferred to marry. Ridwan was expelled and was not considered by his family.
Exactly five years after they got married, Ridwan and Tiara had an accident. They died in the accident. Erlina lost her son very much, she took over custody of Irwan and changed his name to Ridwan.
Four months ago, Irwan, who still lives in America, received news from Alex, the lawyer for the Lung family, about the condition of his grandfather who was seriously ill. Wanlung has diabetes and he wants to meet her before he dies.
Hearing the news that his grandfather was sick, Irwan was forced to go home. After a long debate, Erlina finally allowed Irwan to return and settle in Indonesia. On condition, Irwan must run the Lung family company which has been in the hands of Gio, his cousin.
Shortly after Irwan's return to Indonesia, Wanlung died. Before he died, Wanlung made a will to Irwan to marry the granddaughter of Iza, his best friend. Wanlung made the will because he heard reports that Irwan always refused to marry and preferred to play women.
As a reward for the marriage, Wanlung inherited all of his assets, including the house of his late parents, which Irwan had been eyeing. Because of that reason, Irwan agreed to marry Windy.
When she was about to marry Windy, Erlina became angry again. He disapproved of Irwan marrying the woman his grandfather had chosen. However, in order to get the house of his late parents, Irwan again opposes his grandmother.
In the end, Erlina forcibly took all the facilities that Irwan acquired as Lung's grandson. And forbade him from showing their family's unique blue eyes to anyone. Reluctantly, Irwan covered the color of his eyes with black lenses similar to his mother's vision.
Before marrying Windy, Irwan had taken everything into account. He plans to divorce Windy when his parents' house falls into his hands. For this reason, Irwan did not ask for any inheritance money, because he really didn't need it.
Irwan never expected anything from his marriage to Windy. Apart from not being interested in him, Irwan already knew that Windy and Leo were having an affair. Irwan didn't really bother their relationship, instead he collected evidence of their affair to strengthen his divorce suit.
To make Windy and Leo closer. Irwan agreed to Windy's special request to Gio regarding Leo's promotion. Gio couldn't refuse Windy's request because Windy often helped him at university.
All Irwan's plans are perfect. He only had to wait another two months to get his parents home. However, all his plans fell apart when his father-in-law agreed to Windy's request to change partners.
Actually, Irwan has no problem marrying Windy or Joya. Because the end goal remains the same, get his parents home and divorce from his wife. However, all of that changed after Irwan got to know Joya.
Joya Iza, an innocent and innocent woman who can shake Irwan's heart. Joya's tears always make Irwan feel guilty. He felt he had taken part in Windy's plan to ask for a change of partner.
If only, Irwan didn't agree to Leo's promotion and didn't stay silent when he saw their affair. Maybe Joya and Leo's household is still okay. However, everything has already happened. Rice has become mush. Joya is divorced from Leo and now Joya is his wife. Now, there's only one thing Irwan can do to make amends, be a good husband for Joya.
Irwan parked his car at the car storage. Then, ran to the crossroads where he met Joya every time Joya came home from work.
Irwan looked around, looking for Joya's whereabouts. However, he did not find it. Irwan glanced at his watch which showed 9:50 p.m. He immediately ran to his house. Irwan deliberately ran, for fear that Joya would walk as usual.
When he arrived at the front of the house, Irwan winced at the sight of his parents-in-law's car. You can see Agus and Lina coming out of their house. Ivan approached them. "Mom, Dad-,"
"Useless man. Your wife works late into the night, but you are too lazy and just come home. It's really unfortunate that Joya has a husband who doesn't know his destiny like you," Agus cut in, pointing at Irwan's face.
Irwan remained silent, he was used to receiving insults from his father-in-law. Actually, Irwan did not mean to hide his work. He also didn't mean not to provide a living when he was still Windy's husband.
It's just that, Irwan really had no money at that time. Erlina did not give him a penny. He even paid Irwan like a normal employee. For that, Irwan could not give Windy any money.
However, Windy and her parents did not want to be patient. They continued to argue about money, even though Windy had already received all of the inherited money that they should have split between the two.
"Enough, Dad! Don't waste your time. We better go. Let Joya be destitute with her useless husband. After all, mom doesn't think of him as a child anymore. What kind of stupid life do you want? Mom doesn't care. Come on, Papa! We go home."
Lina pulled her husband's hand and got into the car. After his parents-in-law's car left, Irwan immediately entered the house. As soon as he entered, he saw Joya sitting on the floor crying.
"Irwan ..." called Joya.
Seeing his wife crying, Irwan immediately approached her. His heart shook. Joya's tears always make her sad. In fact, so far Irwan has been an indifferent person. You could even say stone-hearted.
Joya burst into her husband's arms. He hugged Irwan tightly. "I was scared when I didn't see you at home. I'm afraid to be alone."
The reason Joya was crying was not only because of her parents' words. But, she also cried because she was afraid when she didn't find her husband at home.
Irwan embraced his wife's frail body. He patted her back gently. "There's nothing for you to worry about. I won't leave you alone."
Joya's sobs grew louder. Again, Irwan told him that he would always accompany him. Joy is calm. It didn't matter that his parents left him, because Irwan was with him.
