End Journeys
Gimme a second

The candle was lit by Thomas. A few candles were installed in every corner of the room, while in the living room Thomas let it darken.

"A tiring day for you, right? Sleep Ruby!" thomas on Ruby.

"You go to sleep, too" replied Ruby.

Felix hasn't said a word since they returned home. He felt very guilty to his lover plus shame in front of Thomas because now Felix feels worse than Thomas. Time and time again he hurt Ruby and it seems like Thomas didn't hurt Ruby that much when they were still in a relationship.

Ruby laid her body down and avoided Felix. He moved away from Felix who had laid his body beside him. Seeing that, Thomas did not remain silent. It could be said that he took advantage of the existing situation to be able to get back close to Ruby.

"Rather than you two not sleeping better I sleep in the middle" Thomas slipped between Ruby and Felix. Ruby didn't respond, neither did Felix. They seemed to be unconcerned about Thomas in their midst.

"Then you can both sleep together" Thomas continued to speak.

"What did you find after I left earlier?" Ruby asked Thomas.

"We checked the document room but found nothing suspicious. It looks like Jennifer just cleaned up in the room" Thomas replied.

"Is that the only room you're checking?" Ruby asked back.

"We checked the whole room. Even hinGga gardens behind the orphanage. There's an orange grove," Thomas told me of his discovery.

"I didn't even know there was an orange grove there. Go to sleep," Ruby who had been talking while turning her back on Thomas now chose to sleep.

"Look at what I read" Thomas handed his phone to Ruby, who was still lying in bed.

"I want to sleep a little while longer" Ruby ignored Thomas.

"It's very important. You have to check it out" Thomas insisted.

With the drowsiness that Ruby still felt, with a heavy heart he read what was on Thomas' phone.

"Well? I can't believe this. The place of the sect association now does not look as scary as it used to be because of the many people who visit there," commented Ruby.

An article shows the condition of the crowded sect association visited by visitors, especially creator content. But not a single sect member was seen there, only ordinary people were visiting.

"I don't know if this is good news or bad news" Ruby felt a little confused.

"What do you mean?" Thomas does not understand.

"If it's that crowded they come and find nothing they can't believe what we're saying that the sect is dangerous. The proof is that nothing happened to the people who went there. I'm afraid they assume what we're saying is nonsense" Ruby said of her concerns.

"There may be some who would think that way but I'm sure not all. Logically, how could a sect dare to appear or do something risky in public. Moreover, the sect was getting a lot of spotlight lately," Thomas tried to temper Ruby's worries.

"I want to see public opinion on this" Ruby said.

"Wait, I'll open the comment field" Thomas replied as he scrolled his phone.

"Ah here it is," Thomas then gives his phone again to Ruby.

It was true what Ruby was worried about happened, but not as bad as Ruby had imagined. Few doubted the story of Ruby and friends. The rest believed that the sect was indeed dangerous and might have been doing something because their names were being highlighted by the public.

"I still remain confident in the existence of the sect. They won't stay silent!" comments of an article reader.

"Just calm. Our friends have taken care of it so we just need to focus on completing our mission in this place. Especially taking Zoe away," Thomas cut Ruby's words.

"We need to take care of the adoption documents. But Jennifer hasn't called me yet when I can meet with the orphanage owner" Ruby checked her phone waiting for further notice from Jennifer.

"Aren't we going to the orphanage today? Why wait for the phone?" Thomas replied.

"You and Felix are gone. I want a break today," Ruby refused to go to the orphanage.

"But, what was the problem yesterday? I know you're so mad at her that you're holding back so Jennifer can be invited to work on this, right? You can't fool me," ledek Thomas.

"I'm not interested in tricking you either. There get ready. I'll wait for you at home" Ruby's back in bed.

"Did I not hear wrong? Expecting you? You just waiting for me? What about Felix hahaha."

"I mean, wait for you guys. I mispronounced so you shouldn't be too happy," now Ruby's covering her face with a blanket.

"Well, I'll take a shower. I don't know where your girlfriend is," Thomas picked up a towel and walked to the bathroom.

"wait. Let me take a shower first. I have a stomachache" Felix grabbed and went to the bathroom first.

"Yes already. Hurry along!" exclaim Thomas.

Ruby didn't care what the two men did. He was constantly looking for ways to prove that the sect carried out child trafficking.

"I'm sure this sect not only has a devil worship mission but there is money and power behind it all. Child trafficking is one of them. I'm pretty sure the sect members took the child from that orphanage. Is it possible that Jennifer didn't know anything? It was impossible, even a child as small as Zoe knew something was strange there," Ruby continued to talk to herself.

Still continue to think hard, Ruby again stricken with drowsiness. He was a little tired from yesterday's trip.

Something warm Ruby felt on her back neck. That heavy breath was not foreign.

"What's.."

"Shut up," Thomas covered Ruby's mouth with his palm.

"I haven't been this close to you in a long time" Thomas added.

"Based on a mad man" Ruby threw Thomas's hand from her lips but Thomas was still in the same position. Her lips touched Ruby's back neck.

Her right hand tightly hugged Ruby's waist, while her left hand held Ruby's left.

"Thomas, are you crazy?" Ruby did not twitch when Thomas hugged her. Ruby even remembered the memory in the past, Thomas often did that to her when Ruby was going to sleep. Then Ruby will fall asleep in Thomas' arms.

"You don't hurt me anymore" Ruby wanted to bury her memories with Thomas but she couldn't. Thomas seems to deliberately do the things they used to do while dating first.

"What do you really want from me?" Ruby turned around and looked at Thomas. Thomas looks misbehaved because he did not expect Ruby to respond like that.

"I want you to come back to me. That's it" Thomas replied.

"I'm still with him" Ruby replied.

"I'll wait" Thomas whispered in Ruby's ear. Continued with a kiss on his ear.

"Crazy man" Ruby got out of bed and left Thomas in bed.
