End Journeys
Don't worry about me

It's been three weeks that Ruby and Felix have been living together. Ruby's dealings with the case that recently befell her also began to find a bright spot. Miranda was captured. However, she also felt sorry for having a little child who was none other than Kylie's sister, her best friend. Starting that day he was released from the case because the information he gave to the police was enough.

"When we're one week away" Felix told Ruby in Ruby's car.

They were on their way to the city's famous shopping mall.

"What do you mean?" Ruby doesn't understand.

"Our contract is hahaha" Felix replied with a laugh while driving the car.

"Why are you constantly discussing contracts? If you want to leave now please do so because Andrew has not contacted me again" Ruby said.

"It's not. College is soon, when our contract ends college has also begun. If Andrew questions our relationship how?" ask Felix.

"I just said it's broken up" replied Ruby.

"If he bothers you again?"

"I don't know. Let it go, I've gone far enough to get you involved in my problems," now Ruby feels bad about what she's done.

"No, I don't mean that. I'm happy to help you, you've helped me by always accompanying Key. I'm starting to see a change in him" Felix tried to explain the misunderstanding that had occurred.

Since becoming friends with Ruby, Key gradually changed from being lazy to diligent in learning. It was inseparable from the motivation and support that was always given by Ruby on Key, even though sometimes Ruby was a little hard on Key lacking discipline.

"I have to go home for a week because of my college schedule" Felix told Ruby.

"good. Thank you for everything" Ruby thanked him with the help Felix always gave her.

"I'm the one who should be grateful. You helped me take care of my sister. I'm sorry if you've been wrong" Felix replied with an apology to Ruby.

The atmosphere in the car was silent for a moment. There are mood changes that occur between them. Maybe because they have been together too often so they feel sad soon will be separated, let alone their contracts will soon run out as a couple.

"Haha soon we'll break up huh," Felix laughed but there was clearly sadness on his face.

"Yes," Ruby smiled as she lowered her head.

"Find a good man. Anybody, just don't go back to Thomas. He's not a good guy" Felix suggested.

"I will always remember your advice" replied Ruby.

Felix clasped tightly onto Ruby's right hand as if he didn't want to be away with his temporary lover. So did Ruby, who usually sold a little expensive when Felix clasped his hand, now clasping Felix's hand tightly.

"Oh my God, I don't want to part with this woman" Thomas said in a loud voice as they passed by the highway.

"Me too, please," Ruby suddenly cried even a hiccup.

Felix who usually calms Ruby when she cries, at that moment just let Ruby dissolve in her crying. The same is true of Felix. Somehow a deep sadness struck him from a few days ago when he remembered that soon he and Ruby would be separated. But for a few days, Felix managed to hide his sadness. Unlike that day, he could no longer bear his sadness.

"We just extend the contract" Felix proposed, holding Ruby's hand.

"It's okay?" ruby asked while wiping her tears.

"It doesn't matter to me" Felix replied.

"I think about it first" Ruby replied.

Felix was quite surprised to hear Ruby's answer because he thought that Ruby would immediately approve her offer.

They arrived at the shopping center they were heading to. There they shop for the things they want. They really took advantage of the time they had left to continue together.

"What do you want? I'll buy it" Felix told Ruby.

"Then I also bought you something so we can give each other" Ruby suggested.

Felix agreed with the proposal given by Ruby. Felix chose one item, and so did Ruby, she chose one. Felix chose a jacket while Ruby chose a dress.They paid for the items they had bought.

"Wear it, it must look really pretty" Felix told Ruby to wear the dress he had just bought.

"Then you wear the jacket, too" replied Ruby.

They were wearing the clothes they had bought earlier in the changing room where they had bought the clothes.

"Where are we going now?" ask Ruby.

"Where do you want to go? Wanna eat?"

"Of course you want. I've been so hungry" Ruby immediately accepted Felix's invitation to eat.

They ate at the famous salad bar. With a self-service system, Ruby and Felix choose the vegetables they want.

After choosing a place to sit, they ate together.

"Aaaaa," Felix feeds Ruby a piece of avocado.

They spent time together as lovers that day. Many places they visited together until late at night.

***

Felix parked the car in the yard. Ruby unlocks the house and goes in to put the items they just bought earlier.

"Honey, take a bath there," Felix exclaimed to Ruby.

Ruby bathed in warm water as the weather suddenly turned cold. There was the sound of objects falling outside, Ruby who had a sense of trauma due to the kidnapping incident that had happened to him now recalled the incident.

"Felix!" ruby shouted but there was no answer.

He called Felix from the bathroom but there was no answer.

Ruby picks up her bathing suit and runs out of the bathroom while continuing to call Felix but Felix is not home.

Ruby picked up her phone and called Felix, the sound of the phone was heard in the living room. Ruby immediately ran towards the living room but there was only Felix's phone on the sofa.

He was worried that the incident was repeated again but befell Felix.Ruby yelled to Felix to run into the alley with a bathrobe. Ruby's neighbors peeked out of the window, and there were some men who used to gather in the alley at night, they noticed Ruby. Ruby who just wore a bathrobe without wearing anything else was already indifferent.

One of the men from the few gathered approached Ruby.

"What's wrong?" ask the man.

"I'm looking for my girlfriend" replied Ruby.

"Oh, that guy. He went over there, "the man pointed towards a house close to where they were gathered.

Because Felix's panic just disappeared, Ruby immediately ran to the place designated by the man.

The man who was talking to Ruby turned to his friends as if giving a code. Some men approached Ruby who foolishly believed the man's words.

"Don't come any closer!" Ruby snapped loudly.

After realizing that Felix is not there, Ruby realizes that she has been lied to by the man who approached her earlier. One of the men tried to touch Ruby's arm. Ruby shouted loudly, and from a distance saw someone coming.

"Don't touch my lover!" Felix shouted from a distance.

Some of Ruby's neighbors who heard the commotion came out of the house and helped Felix. As a result, the men fled because many residents caught them.

"They are not people who live in this region but often make trouble" said one resident.

"I'm sorry I've been making a fuss all night" Ruby felt bad for making such a fuss that it disturbed the comfort of the people there.

After listening to the residents' explanation and saying thank you, Ruby and Felix returned home.

"Stupid! What are you doing with this outfit,astaga!" Felix closed his eyes for fear of seeing Ruby's body.

"What's? It's not visible," Ruby hit Felix's arm.

"Wear your clothes, I want to talk" Felix leaves Ruby in the bathroom.

"You mean, you want us to talk in the bathroom?" ask Ruby.

"I take a bath first, I'll talk later" Felix replied, holding back a laugh.

"It looks like I'm a little stupid" Ruby told herself.

***

Ruby was already sitting in the living room, tensely waiting for Felix who was very long in the bathroom.

"Wait long?" ask Felix to Ruby.

"Tumben you took a shower long enough. It's definitely.." Ruby cut Felix's word.

"You don't need to know what I'm doing" Felix said.

"Okay, hurry up and say. What do you want to tell me?" ask Ruby.

"What about my offer?" Felix asked Ruby.

"I don't want to involve you any further" replied Ruby.

"Hm, well," that's the only word that came out of Felix's lips.

"Where were you?" Ruby questioned where Felix had disappeared.

"Whatever you hear about me later, I do it all to take care of you" Felix said. She left Ruby alone in the living room.

Ruby, dissatisfied with Felix's answer, follows him to Felix's room.

"Sleep" said Felix.

"No, no" replied Ruby.

"Yes, I'm going to sleep. Good night," Felix threw himself in his bed.

"I want to be with you" Ruby whined to Felix.

"Here," Felix pulls Ruby into his arms.

They spent time together that night. The ringing of the cell phone that they had been ignoring.

"Felix, don't worry about me. I'm fine like this" Ruby told Felix.

"No," Felix shook his head.
