"Where's Rubi going?"
Ms. Ambar frowned asking, when she saw her youngest daughter approaching her at the dinner table, Rubi was already looking beautiful that night in bright red party clothes, and carrying her fancy bag.
"Tante Rubi is so beautiful?!" praise Keyla.
Rubi smiled, stroking his nephew's hair.
"I want to go to Bun reunion, at the hotel." replied Rubi to his mother.
"Residential kok nights like this about until what time the completion?"
"Rubi doesn't know exactly Bun..." Rubi shook his head. "Yes already then, Rubi said leave first yes Bun is too late, yuk Ms. Lyra... Assalamu'alaikum.." said to Mother Ambar and Lyra, after Rubi kissed the back of her Mother's hand.
"Wa'alaikum... But inget yes, do not go home kemaleman. Your inget is Rubi's woman, outside of many bad people." cried Ambar advised.
"Just take it easy Bun, Rubi will take care of himself." said Rubi as he continued to step out the door of the house.
After pulling out his car keys in the bag, Rubi starts the engine of his beloved car, a gift car from his late father. Rubi's car came out of the gate and he skillfully drove his car at a fairly fast pace splitting the city streets.
Seeing the departure of her sister-in-law, Lyra became anxious. That night at eight. Lyra was worried that Rubi would come home the other night like those nights, not long ago Rubi was drunk with a broken heart.
Raffa has warned him repeatedly not to go out the other night. But now Rubi seems free to wander again when his brother is not there and can not monitor him here.
Lyra let out a long sigh, it was impossible for her to tell Raffa again, Lyra was worried that she would interfere with her husband's work outside the city.
Lyra was restless again, she was pacing over the balcony of the room, because the time had shown at 10 pm. Ambar and Keyla were asleep. But Rubi hasn't come home yet.
"O Allah, where is Rubi?" Lyra hung up her phone almost three times, but Rubi didn't pick it up either.
Lyra suddenly remembered Fadil. Then he called Fadil and asked for his help to find Rubi.
"Well, I'll go to the hotel." said Fadil answer Lyra's phone.
"Call from whom?" ask Sinta after Fadil closes his phone again.
"Em, that's Lyra's phone"
"Mas is still the same relationship with Mas's ex-wives?" selidik Sinta suspects.
Fadil smiled and then took a soft look at Sinta's nose. "Don't get me wrong, Lyra just called me to catch up with Rubi at the hotel saying there's a reunion, but until this hour Rubi hasn't come home either."
"Uh, why the heck Mas always takes care of Rubi. Rubi keeps Rubi keeps going?!" gerutu Sinta while holding hands in front of the fence of his house.
His face bent the sign he was very upset because Fadil always attention to Rubi.
The two of them just got home from the cinema. Fadil drove Sinta home, but when he was about to say goodbye, Fadil came home on Lyra's phone.
"And already Mas said, if Rubi already considered Mas like his own sister. Yes, since the incident Rubi divorced her husband. So feel sorry for him... Yeah, I'm gone first, yeah, scared of the night too..." Fadil quickly got back in his car.
Fadil smiled seeing Sinta still standing in front of the fence, then told her to go inside the house.
Sinta nodded. Then he went into his house. After making sure his girlfriend entered the house. Fadil rushed to run his car to the hotel.
Not until fifteen minutes Fadil has arrived. There is a very lively event. Fadil circulates his gaze in the hotel ballroom. Looking for Rubi in the midst of hundreds of people. They all seemed engrossed in a chat accompanied by the singing voice of a woman on stage.
Fadil tries to contact Rubi, but he undoes it because the singer's voice and music are very loud and there is no way Rubi can hear the sound of his phone call.
"Ah sorry Sir!" sahut a waiter who accidentally nudged Fadil with a tray of drinks, and spilled a little drink into his clothes Fadil.
"Oh it's okay..."
When I go to the toilet. Fadil was surprised, he saw Rubi sitting with a man, and offered him a drink.
"Ruby..." Fadil was stunned as Rubi picked up the liquor in the man's hands.
"Drink... Just a little bit of it won't get you drunk.." he said. Rubi smiled obliquely.
"I've had more to drink than this." she said, accepting the man's challenge. "So to me, this is nothing." trivial.
Fadil shook his head. Then walked quickly to them, and grabbed the liquor glass in Rubi's hand.
Rubi and the man were dumbfounded. Fadil put the glass on the table.
"Let's go home... What time is it?" saith.
Rubi frowned. Then stand up and take the glass again, then drink it in front of Fadil and also friends during his High School first.
Fadil. "Ruby!" his jolt.
"Aaaah... As soon as this is very delicious, may I ask for more.." he asked his friend while laughing sweetly, ignoring Fadil there.
"May.." said the man gladly. Then he poured the liquor again in Rubi's glass.
Rubi again wanted to drink but Fadil immediately brushed it off until the glass bounced off and broke near the man's feet. Rubi surprised.
"Heh who are you to dare disrupt our show!" He did not accept, then rose up and challenged Fadil. His face was angry.
"That's none of your business, she's my sister. You don't poison his mind by giving him a hard drink!" reply Fadil with his sharp gaze.
Then Fadil looked at Rubi and pulled his hand. "Let's come with me home!" his orders.
Rubi brushed aside Fadil's hand. "Despite, what are you doing here, huh, he's right why are you interrupting our show?!" he scolded Fadil and defended his friend.
"Ruby!" Fadil was surprised this time Rubi looks angry and hateful to him.
"I want a drink, I want to have fun here! Go away you and never interfere with my business.." Disappointedly encouraged Fadil.
Fadil shook his head. "Why did you become like this? This isn't the Rubi I know. Rubi never gets drunk like this, right?! Let's go home Rubi. Your mother and sister-in-law are worried about you at home." said Fadil in a soft tone.
"Why do you always take care of my life? I'm not your sister!" he nodded with anger.
Rubi picked up his bag and ran away from there. Leaving his friends and Fadil. He could not stand it anymore when he always saw Fadil, his heart always felt pain.
Rubi ran towards the parking lot, followed by Fadil.
"Ruby! Let's get in my car, let me drive you home, let me drive you home tomorrow..." Fadil pulled Rubi's hand and was about to get her into his car.
"Take me off! I can go home by myself! I don't need your attention!" refuse to let go of Fadil's hand. But Fadil's grip is stronger.
"Ruby! I know you're still mad at me, but I'm doing this because I love you." she said sincerely.
Rubi took off his hand, away from Fadil. His head shook quickly. Her tears came back.
"You love me..." Rubi laughed miris. "You love me just think of me as a sister, don't you.." she said.
"Ruby..." Fadil shook his head.
"Go Brother Fadil, we should never meet again." he said slowly. Rubi walks with a wounded heart. He got in his car.
Fadil stared at Rubi's departure with a sad look. I can't repay your love Rubi... But really, I love you and want to protect you.
Seriate....
