" I don't know whose number it is, if you're suspicious of me, just call her number, ask her to meet and beat her up like you beat up Daniel if I was having an affair "Ruby answered lazily, because she was so sure no other man would contact her, except Daniel.
As fast as lightning Rai had already made a call to the number.
tuuut, tuuut, tuuut !! The sound of an unplugged phone call. Making Rai even more annoyed and her face reddened in anger.
" Hello ? " The voice of a woman is hoarse as if she is sleeping and waking up.
" Hmm.. hello, who is this with ? " Rai answered the wrong behavior because the one who raised it turned out to be a woman.
" Is this Ruby's husband ? " The woman asked.
" Ah yes, this Ruby will talk "Rai felt embarrassed and immediately thrust his phone towards Ruby's ear that was changing clothes.
" Who ? " Ruby whispered. Rai just shrugged his shoulders a sign he didn't know.
Ruby then flanked her phone between her cheeks and shoulders, Rai also immediately hugged Ruby from behind and joined her ears near the phone. Ruby sighed looking at Rai's attitude which was really very possessive and blind jealous.
" Who is this ? " Task Ruby casually.
" You ? " Ruby was shocked and wide-eyed, not trusting someone who was talking to him at this moment.
🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
On a clear morning, everyone gathered for breakfast. Except for some surly people in your mouth because of your tiger proverb.
Rai and Ken must accept the consequences of their defeat in a wrestling match and the samurai.
" You can't do this father" cried Ken protesting his father's policy.
" If you still feel men face this with a male "Regis replied firmly not mind the protest that Ken presented.
Rai can only accept his sentence. Not that he didn't want to protest but he knew it would be a waste.
" But dad... " Ken just kept whining.
" Dad can make you worse than this "Regis answered a mouthful that made Ken close his mouth immediately.
" Alright "In the end he was obedient and tried to persevere through his trials.
" My son what are you going to do today ? " Task Regis to Ruby.
" I want to meet my old friend, last night he called me, and also I want to visit Lucas and Ignes at the hospital "Ruby replied politely.
" Alright I will have the bodyguards accompany you, your safety is paramount "Regis rules decisively.
" I'll go with Rai's father "Ruby answered politely, he doesn't want to make anyone worry anymore, so Rai will go wherever Ruby goes from now on and Regis agrees.
After breakfast they all leave for work, Ken hitchhikes in Regis' car because his car is in foreclosure.
While Ruby and Rai are in the other car to visit her father and also Lucas.
Their car separated shortly after exiting the gate.
" Are you sure you'll be okay seeing Lucas, won't it cause trauma ? " Tanya Rai carefully to Ruby.
" I don't think so, I'm ready to meet him. She treated me well back then, I felt sorry for her, she just kept looking for Leon, someone unreal "Ruby replied sadly.
" We never know if it relates to someone's feelings "Rai nodded in agreement with Ruby's opinion.
The car they were riding in had reached the hospital courtyard, guards came down to open their doors.
" Are you ready ? " Tanya Ruby to Rai, she thrust her hand to hold.
" Yes "Rai answered briefly.
The two of them walked towards the treatment room where Lucas was being treated, the nurse who guided their way.
Lucas has been transferred to the treatment room, and the nurse says that Lucas's mental condition is still unstable so she asks only Ruby first to join the nurse.
The nurse knocked on the door of the room, and then opened it slowly. Lucas was lying on his bed looking at the nurse.
The nurse enters in with Ruby behind her. Lucas is soon jumped once he sees Ruby coming.
" Ruby ? " Task her sumringah.
" Hey "Greet Ruby briefly with a smile.
" You okay ? " Task her later.
" You've finally come, I miss you so much "Las will scatter Ruby but was prevented by the nurse, arguing that he shouldn't move much first.
" Why have you been so long ? " Task her later.
Ruby approached him and sat down on the chair that was near his bed.
" Yes I was busy "Ruby answered the pleasantries, he had to be very careful because the doctor said he was still having an identity crisis between Lucas and Leon.
The psychiatrist who handled it said that Lucas suffered from an alter ego.
Alter ego is a condition in which a person forms another character in himself consciously. This other character is often an idealized image of himself, which he cannot realize and is only capable of craving.
In Lucas's condition, his past greatly affects him, experiencing bullying in his teenage years, rejection by his first love, and then rejection again by Ruby and it's all caused by one person namely Rai.
So in this case, Lucas consciously made another character of himself that looked like Rai, cruel, cold, and brave. It was all he used to attract Ruby's attention.
In the end Lucas has an identity crisis, he is increasingly trapped in his identity between Lucas and Leon, because honestly he hates Lucas who can only be a loser.
And the doctor will do therapy to restore his confidence so that he can be proud to be Lucas. That's the only way Leon's gonna disappear.
" Have you met Leon ? I'm looking for her, I want to talk to her "Las asked Ruby.
" Las, I really like you, as a friend. You're a nice, warm and humorous man. You know Leon's not good for discussion, so if you need anything, talk to me about it. I'll always listen to you "Ruby's trying to help Lucas get back to his senses.
" Yes in a way that hurts me "Ruby replied firmly.
" I don't like Leon, he hurt me. But you, Lucas you helped me, you saved my life. I like a good Lucas without Leon "Ruby trying his hardest.
" Ruby I don't understand what you're saying, I'm confused, my head hurts "Las suddenly panicked and held his head.
" Alright madam is enough, we'll inject sedative to him, you please come out "Nurse give interduction to Ruby.
Ruby could only nod in resignation and leave Lucas roaring and screaming for Leon.
Rai who watched all that from the window could only feel sorry for Lucas, he imagined himself who at first wanted to make Ruby like his mother because of the mother complex he suffered, he said, if it were not for Ruby also reciprocating her love, maybe Rai would have fared the same as Lucas.
" You okay ? " Task Rai as soon as Ruby has left the room. The look on his face was sad, Rai hugged him to calm him down.
" I feel sorry for her, hopefully she will be fine "Ruby replied in a choked voice. However Lucas is the one who has saved his life, if not for Lucas, maybe Ruby who is currently lying in the hospital, or even at the funeral.
" He'll be fine, dad told the professional psychiatrist who won him "Rai calmed Ruby down.
They all went to see Ignes, but the nurse said Ignes was very bad, he was transferred to a mental hospital and was in isolation for constantly injuring himself. His obsession with Rai made him this way.
Finally they visit Ruby's father, his condition still remains the same, comatose. Doctors have tried their best, but there is no certainty about the coma, only time will answer it.
" Dad "Isak Ruby clasped his father's hand.
" I came with my husband, he's a very nice person, you don't have to worry about anything else about my life" Ruby told her father. Rai who was standing beside him could only be silent and gently patted Ruby's shoulder as a form of support.
" I love her so much, and so does she. I'm healed, open your eyes. I'll have a child soon, don't you want to see your grandchild ? Rai says she'll be a good hero "Ruby keeps sobbing.
After an hour of crying Ruby told her father who was still sleeping closed, they finally decided to take a walk around the hospital to get some fresh air.
Ruby takes Rai to the backyard, to a bench under a large banyan tree.
" It used to be here that I remember a little boy once proposing to me "Ruby told me with a funny smile considering his childhood.
" What ?!? " Rai was shocked annoyed.
" When you were little there was someone else who dared to propose to you ? Who is he ? I'll beat him up "Rai answered annoyedly.
" Cih "Ruby sneered.
" You're too jealous, she's just a kid, and anyway it used to be "Ruby answered cynically.
" Where is a little boy who has thoughts of getting married, he must be a perverted little boy. Hush !! What would he be if he grew up later, when he was a child already had a perverted mind "Rai berated annoyed.
" He's a good boy, and handsome "Defa Ruby.
" Where is there a good and good-looking kid with perverted thoughts ? You're so easy to deceive, fortunately I found you and married you, otherwise I can't imagine that perverted man being your husband, he would've cheated on you " Rai answered cynically.
" He's a good boy "Ruby still defends him.
" Why are you in this hospital ? Are you sick ? I was also treated here as a child "Rai asked in wonder.
" I took care of my sick mother here, that's when I met her "Ruby replied casually.
" Surprisingly, I used to have my first love here too, she's a beautiful and sweet child "Rai muttered to himself.
" What did you say ? " Ruby asked because he heard Rai muttering to himself.
" What's the name of the little boy ? " Tanya Rai switched the conversation, still upset.
" I don't know, she calls herself batman, and she calls me dry "Ruby blushes in shame.
" What ?!? " Rai was surprised to hear Ruby's reply.
" So you're a kid with a red face like that cherry ? You're the kid who always denied my talk first ? " Rai yelled as he could not believe what they were going through.
" What ? What's wrong ? " Ruby asked in wonder.
" You're the kid who always pushes a aunt's wheelchair ? Who helped her sunbathe in the morning ? " Tanya Rai was still shocked.
" Well, how do you know ? " Task Ruby in wonder.
" I'm that batman, I'm that handsome little boy "Rai replied arrogantly.
" What ?!? So you're a cocky little kid whose nostrils are so big and who's always snotting it ? " Ruby yelled in disbelief.
" What hole ?! " Repeat Rai upset.
" Wuuaahh the world is really small, I should recognize you from your unnatural nostrils "Ruby replied with a chuckle.
" And what ? Bawdy ? Yes you are right, the little boy grew up to be a pervert hahaha "Ruby was outraged because all the swearing Rai had returned to herself.
" You !! " Rai looked at Ruby furiously.
" Stop !! " The order is upset.
But Ruby laughed even harder. Making Rai even more annoyed and hugging him.
" If you don't stop laughing, I'll kiss you 5 rounds here, in front of everyone "Rai threatens to soften in Ruby's ears.
Makes Ruby's face red. He hit Rai's arm slowly.
" I didn't expect our little promise to turn out to be true. I was so happy "Rai spoke softly and increasingly tightened his embrace.
" I'm also happy "Ruby returned Rai's embrace and buried her face in Ruby's chest.
" Let's live happily ever after, until death separates "Rai promised Ruby.
" I will accompany you in the joys and sorrows of "Ruby's Promise.
Once again on that sunny morning they repeated their promise as a child, promising to marry whom fate eventually granted to unite them.
