"You mean, Sely still hopes for me?" Riky nodded. "But you're married?" Rega is not finished with Sely.
In the past, Sely never showed any feelings to Rega. And now everything has changed.
"I think Sely was just obsessed with regret. But he wants to change and get better at my Mbah pesantren. Like I used to be free from the black world that has been holding me." explained Riky.
"Thankful is.. May you be much better" said Rega.
"Yank!!!" Rega turned to Ruby who called out to him. " The food's coming,"
"Ky, come on, rather than alone here." ask Rega.
"I'm just here. While waiting for my sodara," he replied.
"Yes already" Rega returns to his desk with Ruby.
Finish eating Ruby and Rega to the cake shop with Reyhan and Jelita as well.
At the cake shop they meet Reyhan's coworkers who are also Ruby's coworkers.
"That's not Ruby, that actor,"
"Yes, yeah..."
"Sama Reyhan too..."
"I don't know myself.. I worshiped his sister in the fray as well as his brother."
Whispers of those who saw Ruby's presence in the store. Ruby immediately finished her payment and quickly walked out of the store.
"Don't listen, they don't know the truth" Rega told Ruby.
Ruby just smiled.
"Yes, Brother. Though I have also explained everything and told who Thalia is the same office friend but still there is still something like that." explained Reyhan.
"Yes, what a gapapa." Ruby smiled faintly and continued her steps towards the car.
Reyhan and Jelita first went on a motorcycle after Rega's car behind him.
"That title has been attached to me for a long time. But every time I hear it my chest feels tight and sore" he said softly.
"Darling, don't think too much. They only know what they hear, and we do it. Don't listen to people who don't know the truth." Rega rubbed his head gently.
"But the nightmare always comes in every night. I'm tired, I don't want to keep going like this... When can I live a quiet life without those nightmares and people's scorn on me?" Ruby cried.
"I am the same. That dream always haunts me. What's the matter? What happened to us?" muttered Rega in the heart.
Three days passed, Ruby and Rega returned to her home. Throughout the journey Ruby and Rega did not say much. Drowning in each other's minds, memories of the past turn out to leave an unsolved puzzle.
The taxi stopped in front of the house, after paying for the taxi Rega went out first and opened the door for Ruby, after Jelita.
Entering the house was found Bi Ira and Lastri was panicking.
"Rega, Arina's missing. Arina had not returned from school before" said Bi Ira panicked immediately approached Rega quickly.
"Well how?" Rega was also surprised to panic.
"Where's missing?" Ruby also panicked to hear it.
"Arina wasn't at her school when Aunt picked her up. He said Arina had gone home with someone who claimed to be his brother. But until now Arina has not reached home. Aunty also did not know who had picked up Arina." Bi Ira was still panicking.
Rega searched his car keys and quickly walked out of the house.
"Yank, I'm coming." Ruby shouted as Rega walked into the garage.
"You wait at home. We just got here from a long trip. And you must remember your content. Just wait!!!" he said while getting in the car.
"Please don't put me in a difficult situation. I want Arina to meet quickly and I also do not want you and our future child to why. You wait at home, I'll tell you later," Rega said, turning on the car and leaving.
"Yaaaank., ." cried Ruby but Rega did not listen.
Aunt Ira and Jelita approach Ruby.
"That's it. Rega will also tell us that he has found Arina." Bi Ira embraced Ruby and invited her inside.
Everyone was worried about Arina, nobody knew where Arina was going.
One day...
One weeks....
One month.....
One yr....
Arina was not also found with Rega who was keen to find Arina when it never returned. There was never any news.
No trace or sign of Rega and Arina has been found. In the office or in the usual place Rega came all said Rega never came.
Ruby hopes that at Reyhan and Jelita's wedding, Rega will come. But his hopes were dashed, Rega never came.
"Rey, brother please if there is any news from Kak Rega quickly tell brother yes!!!" said called.
But there was never any news from Rega's relatives though.
One by one Rega's relatives left Ruby, they were already resigned to looking for Rega and Arina. And slowly they never told him again.
Even the difficult moments of giving birth Ruby lived it alone without Rega beside her. Sad, claustrophobic, and also disappointed pervaded his feelings. Just because the only child is Ruby trying hard to live her days.
In Ruby's heart, she still hopes Rega comes home to her someday. Many people say Rega is gone because it's been gone for a year but Ruby still believes Rega will return.
But where Rega is today remains a mystery.
"Yank, where are you? I have given birth to our child. Your hero has been born into the world. Please go home!!!!"
Tears slowly dripped unbearably. The tiny hand touched his chest, patting gently as if giving his mother strength.
"Mom, it's time for the Emperor to be bathed" said Lastri who still faithfully accompanied him to this day.
Emperor Adiputra, the name of the little hero Ruby, who became an encouragement as well as strength for him.
Awakened in her daydream, Ruby wiped the wet cheeks and gave Baby Kai to Lastri.
"Lastri, put on some warm clothes for Kai huh. Then get ready, I want to take Kai to the laundry" he told Lastri.
"Yes, ma'am." Pastri answered and brought Baby Kai to bathe.
The house and laundry relics of Rega are still Ruby well guarded. Because that's the only place and effort to get on with life.
Arriving at the laundry place Ruby entered his room to check the reports that had been prepared by his employees. Lastri brought Baby Kai to play with several employees there. They really like the cute Baby Kai and are very active if they ask him to talk.
"It's been a year that you left me. Our house is still the same and the laundry is still the same. Are you lost? Did you forget? Are you all right?"
The view surrounds the laundry atmosphere which still remains the same from when Rega was last there.
