End Journeys
busy as a bee

A bright morning disbanded Ruby and her friends' gathering that morning. Everyone went back to their homes to get ready as they were about to set off for camping. Although their main goal was not to camp, they agreed to call their mission this time "camping" so that no one would know their plan.

"I'm home, yeah" Cassie and Bella are the last people to leave Ruby's house. Meanwhile, Reno just came home to pick up clothes and pick up Thomas then he returned to Ruby's house to stay there.

"What about the tent?" ask Felix to Ruby.

"I ordered two large tents. For the stove and other needs I already have," replied Ruby.

"I'll take it later while shopping," he added.

"Let's love, I'll drop off" Felix said.

"It's okay, I can do it myself. You take a break, "Ruby went to the warehouse to check on some stuff.

Felix follows Ruby from behind because he sees Ruby's mood is not too good.

"Honey, help me put this gas in, please," Ruby gave Felix the gas that stayed installed on his small stove. After testing the stove, they brought the necessary items to the living room.

"I'm going to go shopping now" Ruby said after finishing preparing the stove along with several other cooking tools.

"Let me drive" Felix went to get the keys.

Ruby and Felix arrive at the supermarket while Thomas volunteers to help Ruby retrieve the tent that Ruby had rented.

"What do you want to buy?" ruby asked Felix.

"Instant noodles, instant rice," Felix replied.

Ruby takes some food that is durable and does not take too long to cook.

"Hey," call someone.

Ruby turned to the person who called her, who turned out to be Thomas' lover. Ruby just stared at Aster for a moment and then went back to choosing food.

"Why are you interrupting my relationship with Thomas?" ask Aster.

"Aren't you the one who disrupted my relationship with her?" ruby replied casually.

"But you now have a new lover," Aster defended himself.

"Then what should I do? Thomas came and offered to help me so you can talk to him yourself" Ruby did not take it seriously.

"Hey look here someone who likes to interfere with other people's relationships!" Aster shouted loudly in the middle of the crowded supermarket.

"You shit? Want to embarrass yourself?" Ruby still casually responded to Aster. Ruby secretly sends a message to Thomas to pick up the crazy Aster. Aster kept shouting until a security officer came over.

"What's this about? Please do not disturb the peace of other visitors" the security said. Felix came after seeing the crowd around his girlfriend because Felix had gone to the toilet.

"This woman yelled indistinctly saying I snatched her lover when her lover was my classmate in college. And before dating her, this woman's lover was my lover but they were having an affair behind my back" Ruby purposely humiliated Aster in public.

"Thank you for helping me" Ruby said to the people still gathered around her.

"We just call security to keep order, not do more" an employee replied with a smile.

"Darling, I'm sorry I left you earlier," Felix took over the trolley that Ruby pushed.

"It's okay baby, I can deal with it myself" Ruby held onto Felix's shoulder.

"This is one I like about you. Being able to solve problems on your own well" Felix praised.

"Be quiet I'm ashamed" Ruby covered her face with her bag.

For a while the two of them were joking with each other. Take a few snacks to spend a comfortable day at home before heading back to that creepy place. From the morning some of Ruby's friends had asked the truth of the news but none of Ruby's family asked. Either they do not know or deliberately close their eyes and let Ruby solve her own problems.

"You don't miss Key?" ask Ruby.

"No" Felix replied.

"He called me more than he called you" Ruby said.

"Key already thinks of you like his own brother," Felix pushed the trolley towards the cashier and paid for their groceries.

After paying, Ruby and Felix walk to the parking lot. There were many people clustered near the parking lot. Thomas dragged Aster roughly after snapping at him in front of a crowd. Ruby who did not want to interfere invited Felix directly home.

"Lots of trouble these days," Ruby spoke to herself.

"Just calm down there is me" Felix said.

Reno was waiting for Ruby's arrival on the terrace, the gate was already wide open because Reno brought a car to Ruby's house.

"You've been waiting for us for a long time? How, is everything in order?" ask Ruby.

"Let's just calm I've finished, '" Reno replied.

The three of them went inside and rested in the living room while waiting for Thomas. Kylie and Andy are watching TV in Ruby's room. They don't return home because Ruby gives Kylie the clothes she has while Andy wears Reno's sister's clothes that are her age.

"So there was a big event" Felix was eager to tell Reno about the supermarket. Felix calls Kylie out of the room.

"What?" Reno is not interested.

Haven't had time to tell a story, heard a noise from outside the house. Thomas came bearing two pillows with Aster who was weeping.

"It looks like something interesting is going to happen again," Felix peeked out from the living room.

"About? Oh my God I'm tired" Ruby chose to go to her room and watch TV with Andy.

"What's so interesting again?" now Reno began to be interested in what Felix wanted to tell.
