Time passed and not much was done.
Also, there's not much to talk about.
Although not as cold as before, but the relationship between the two is a little awkward. It is no longer at freezing, but it is also not that warm.
When Ruby opened the suitcase that Vidrian was carrying, she saw what was inside, she thought, did Vidrian move all his belongings here?
The man was packing clothes hangers and lunch boxes, even a notebook that said what the Savana liked and disliked, as well as a combination of his clothes and the amount of milk and food that went into his stomach.
There were several pages filled with Vidrian's clear handwriting. And that couldn't have been more attention.
Ruby had never seen the other side of Vidrian like this. Not once. So never did he even have time to think that the character of the man is like a metal that retains, which will not change even in eating age.
But it doesn't seem like it.
The coldness he had seen all this time was probably because the man did not want to show her. Simply put, the man didn't like it.
The proof is that Savana can change it.
Something unexpected and he thought impossible.
Ruby doesn't plan to set anything up for Savana because Vidrian will pick her up tomorrow. But, when he saw Savana sleeping next to him, the boy was completely quiet, and not noisy at all, like a soft kitten. The only time he spoke loudly was to call out to her, with a crisp and melodious voice, like a bell.
Ruby hesitated for a moment.
He thought, should he spend more time with this newly discovered child?
It doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Ruby grabbed her phone and entered the number.
He hesitated, but in the end he still called his number.
He did not know if the man had changed his phone number. It's been eight years. Even if he changes it, it's not surprising. If he could, he would certainly avoid this number forever in his life.
But why does he remember?
Maybe because the pain is so real and unforgettable.
The ringing tone rang repeatedly. Just as Ruby was about to hang up the phone, the heavy voice of a man came. "Hello" he said from behind the call.
Sitting in the conference room, Vidrian was handling some urgent work. Due to his sudden and unable to delay, he was forced to delay his departure to the village and send Savana to Ruby early.
He thought it was the perfect plan.
When a foreign number appears on his phone, he does not know why he received it without hesitation. Maybe because he always wished that the person who called him was the woman he missed the most. So that he did not hesitate to accept it even in the middle of the conference.
Ruby lay on the bed, held the phone in her ear, and said nothing. Also, no sound was heard from the other side of the phone, as if the man's answer had been an illusion.
After a while, Ruby broke the silence. "It's me."
"I know." Vidrian's voice came right after him, with a dull tone. There was no emotion in that voice. But no one knew if in his heart, he was very surprised.
How long has it been?
It's been eight years.
A long time.
But he never tired of waiting for the call he always waited for. The same reason why he never changed his phone number.
He knew Ruby would call him, someday.
The trust did not fade even though he began to despair, until finally the call really came.
Ruby let out a long sigh before continuing, "When are you going to take this child?" tanyakanya.
Vidrian did not answer. "I don't know. Maybe I should wait until I finish all my work." Also, he still had to pick up his mother in the village after finishing all his work.
One night should not be enough, but he still has to pick up Savana tomorrow to avoid Ruby's anger exploding again.
Vidrian's surprised. "Why?" tanyakanya. His voice was still emotionless. But his facial expression changed a lot. Feeling all this was not real, he clasped his phone tightly.
I hope it's not a dream, that's what he expected.
Ruby bit her lips without saying anything.
"I remember not too long ago you didn't even want to see her." Vidrian spoke again, reminding him of his rejection of the Savannah earlier.
Without saying anything, Ruby closed the call quickly.
He held his phone tightly and remained lying on the bed, staring at Savana. Does he not want to see it? He thought he would never show up in front of him. That's why he didn't dare to look at it. But now, he became rash just because he called her mommy. Yeah, he must be crazy!
Since her divorce from Vidrian, she has never been able to appear before him.
Ruby held onto the head of the Savana and saw her calm sleeping face. After a few days, he would not be able to see her again, unable to hug her like this. So, spending a moment with him should be okay.
After all, he is not a greedy person.
Just grasping it, would not make him want it.
In the conference room, Vidrian stared at his phone.
No one knows what he thinks.
All of SVN's senior management looked at Vidrian's serious face in confusion. The crazy man had been daydreaming for ten minutes now that he had received the call.
This was the first time they had seen a confused boss.
I don't know what confused him.
Maybe because of a woman?
Because the crazy man spoke with more emotion than his tone with them. In addition, the boss was never close to any woman. Maybe I just got a call from the boss' girlfriend?
"Damn!" Someone dropped a water bottle accidentally while taking water. And it freaked him out. Afraid of being fired on the spot.
Vidrian went back to himself. He lowered his head, looking at the documents. Everyone gathered their thoughts and began to see the report in their hands.
“Continue reporting!” Vidrian put down his phone and started reading the documents on the table.
Everyone's hearts became calm, as if a heavy burden was lifted completely. Although they were surprised that the boss actually had a meeting because of some problems, it seemed that he was in a good mood because he did not yell or fire anyone.
Meanwhile, Ruby woke up from the bed when she heard a noise from the door. He comes out of the bedroom after first enveloping Savana's small body and seeing Veronica enter with Maxen.
Stupid, insider.
Veronica or Maxen won't press the bell to get in here. Each of them has an access card. Then, why did he still open the door when someone pressed the bell when it was clear it was not Veronica or Maxen?
The answer is clear.
Is it not because of habit?
His habits from long ago?
Seeing Veronica and Maxen walking towards her, Ruby said, "Hey, you asked me to cook, if I did, wouldn't you eat it?" Time has shown ten o'clock this evening. It was a long pause when Veronica last called her and told them to meet at the apartment.
"Sorry, making love takes a lot of time" Maxen said as he placed several bottles of alcohol on the table.
Hearing this, Veronica roared, "Stupid! Who made love to you? Haish, there really isn't another man." He said underestimating.
Maxen chuckles. Not angry despite the words Veronica said being a little harsh.
Ruby folded her arms around her chest while looking at Veronica and Maxen with a mocking expression. "Aren't you able to shorten the duration?"
"Ruby!" Veronica yells. "We don't fuck. Even if there was only Max left in this world, I would never sleep with him. Cheek.."
"Yes yes," Maxen nodded. "You'd certainly rather use your **ks toy than the original**nis, right?"
