Tonight, Kagendra did not come home because the problems in his company were getting more complicated. Clients who use the services of his company are demanding because they are not satisfied with the services provided. The client is not an indiscriminate client so that it affects the reputation of the company. Kagendra suspects an insider is playing with a competing company to drop the name of his company.
When he woke up at dawn, Sadiyah did not see Kagendra sleeping beside him. It is fitting that he did not wake up in the middle of the night due to disturbed sound Kagendra came home. Sadiyah checked her phone to see any messages Kagendra might have sent.
There was a message from Kagendra telling him he was not going home. Judging from the time, Kagendra sent a message at three in the morning. Kagendra really didn't come home. Sadiyah sighed harshly. He was both upset and worried about Kagendra.

After finishing cooking for lunch, Sadiyah called Faras and Faris for lunch.
“Mom asked once again. Aras and Aris really don't want to come with Mom to my office? Do you dare alone at home?”
“Someday Grandma pick us up,” said Faras.
“Grandma didn't tell Mom if you want to pick up Aras and Aris here,”
“So Grandma phone, Mom again shower. Aras read Grandma's name on Mom's phone, so Aras just accept.”
Just as Faras finished talking, the house bell rang.
“Tuh, maybe Grandma came.” Sadiyah told Faras and Faris to open the door.
“Iya, Mom. Grandma who came,” exclaimed Faris when she saw her grandmother coming from behind the window.
Sadiyah did teach Faras and Faris not to open the door carelessly before being convinced by the people who came to their homes. That is why before opening the door, Faras and Faris always see first the guests who come from behind the window.
Indriani invited Sadiyah to go to the mall, but she refused him on the grounds that he would go to Kagendra's office to bring lunch.
“Indeed should be so, Iyah. As wives, once in a while we have to monitor our husbands. We need to know who is working for our husband. Especially female employees.”
Sadiyah was stunned to hear Indriani's statement. He did not expect that his worries could be read by his mother-in-law.
“Mother was also young. Abah is similar and exactly handsome like Endra. In the past, I also felt worried that there was a female employee who teased Abah. Almost every day I visit Abah's office just to keep an eye on Abah's behavior. Mother until had to go back and forth campus and Abah's office to maintain the sanity of Mother.” Indriani chuckled while reminiscing about the time at the beginning of his marriage.
“Then, Abah had the most beautiful ex too?”
“Fortunately Abah is not like Endra who has an ambitious ex like Nat... uh it is like his ex Endra,” Almost Indriani let go by calling the name of a woman who is taboo in their family.
“Before meeting Mom, Abah was a lot of her boyfriend. I have been dating three women at one time. Endra just lost to Abah when he talked about women. But there's no crazy boyfriend like Nat. All women who dated Abah immediately fainted when Abah decided them,” Indriani said.
“Former girlfriend Aa is indeed just one but very troubling.” Sadiyah grimaced as she recalled the affair between Kagendra and Natasha.
“Do not remember again. The most important thing now is that you focus on yourself as well as the kids. Later on vacation, you have to try hard and bring Mom and Abah special gifts.”
“Mommy wants to be brought by special what is it? Oh yes, I already know that our vacation is pushed back?”
“Don't be angry, son. Mother and Abah already know the problem that is being faced by Endra. You must be patient. This is the risk of being the wife of the owner of a company. Must be patient and thick with steel.”
“Daddy is not angry, Mom. Iyah was only worried about Aa's health condition. I just healed.”
“Mom sure Aa is very familiar with her physical condition. If he feels his body is not strong, he will rest.”
“But not so when Iyah left. Aa once told Iyah that now can not drink coffee anymore because the stomach is damaged until hospitalized because often stay up late and work until late at night just to forget Iyah.”
“That's because the situation is different. At that time Endra was depressed and expressed disappointment by working until he did not remember the time. Now the situation is different. Endra knows that now there are wives and children who need him so that he will not neglect his health anymore.”
“If I tell you the details, I'm afraid you'll blame yourself. Never mind, don't talk about it anymore. Now just focus on your present and future.”
Sadiyah nodded her head even though she was still curious about Kagendra's condition at that time. Maybe later, he'll ask Alena.
Sadiyah decided to go to Kagendra's office alone by using an online ojek. Although there was one idle car in the garage of his house, but he was lazy to drive alone in a city famous for its congestion. He had put rice and side dishes into the container. Then Sadiyah sent a message to Kagendra that she would take lunch to the office.
Kagendra called him immediately when he got a message from his wife.
“Tumben to the office. Oh yeah sorry last night Aa didn't come home. This too - ”
“Salam first when answering the phone,” reprimand Sadiyah.
“Assalamu’alaikum bidadiku.”
“Wa’alaikumsalam.. ih gombal.”.
“Like to be combalinized? It's okay gombalin wife alone than gombalin wife person.”
“Awas only if you dare to cheat again.”
“No, Dear. Already no angel sent from heaven, why expect another.”
“Iiih getting smarter ngegombal.”
“Just the same as you.”
“Already.... already the event. I'm going to Aa nganterin's office for lunch. Not anywhere, right?”
“Waaah, you are my bidadar. Aa's not going anywhere, still struggling with the files. Bring it to Rudi.”
“You guys bring for Aa employees who are fragrant and beautiful also not?”
“Eh?”
“Before Iyah gets to Aa.” office
Arriving at Kagendra's office, Sadiyah was about to get to the elevator but was detained by a security guard. He was a little confused by the atmosphere of the office he had once visited. There is a special gate next to the front office. It seemed that only the caravan could enter by using their employee cards.
“Sorry, Mom. What are there needs and who are you going to find? Please report first at the front office table and ask for a special guest card so that you can go up to the intended floor.”
“Oh yes, sorry Mr.”
The security guard, named Kurnia, escorted Sadiyah to the table *front offic*e.
“Good day, Mom. Can I help you?” greet the female employees who served in the front office with a friendly. Sadiyah saw the name in her nametag, Rita.
Faras and Faris were right when they said Kagendra's beautiful and fragrant employees. Sadiyah recalled six years ago, Kagendra employees were not as beautiful and hired as the current officers. The clothes worn by the front office attendants also looked slightly sexy in Sadiyah's eyes.
