Ruby and Dinan arrive at a luxury hotel in Nusa Dua Bali. The hotel has beautiful ocean views and is one of the closest hotels to the Made Kris residence.
Dinan booked a room to a hotel receptionist, Ruby who knew it immediately protested.
“Hem, sorry, Mas. Why book only one room? We're both.”
Dinan approached Ruby who was standing next to him then whispered. “Ordering two rooms is called waste, not to mention the cost we eat and transport. Because the company is currently in a difficult time, so I have to save.”
Ruby gasped, she really couldn't take it for granted. “But we can't sleep in one room, Mas.”
“So how else? I have to minimize the company's expenses.”
“And he can use his personal money first.” Ruby grunts in the heart.
“Ya already, I order one more room and I will pay by myself.” Said Ruby.
Dinan just smiled. “Please if you don't mind.”
“Mbak, I order one more room.” Ruby Pinta.
“Inter, yes, Bu.”
But Ruby was curious about the room rates at this hotel, why was her boss so stingy and unwilling to book two rooms?
“Hem, sorry, Ma'am. How much does the room cost one night?” Brisper Ruby slowly. However Dinan who was standing beside him could still hear clearly, but he pretended not to know.
“One night is charged three million rupiah, Bu.”
Ruby was stunned as she gulped, she did not expect the room price in this hotel to be so expensive.
“Three million times two nights, means six million. I where there's that kind of money.” Inner Ruby, she tried the calculations in the heart.
“This is his keycard, Bu.” The receptionist handed him a card that served as the room key.
“Hem, sorry. I didn't book the room, Ma'am.”
“Loh, why, Bu?”
“Hem, anu ... I ..” Ruby was nervous because she was confused to give what reason.
“He was just kidding earlier, sorry, yes.” Sela Dinan's. “The room is one only.”
“Yes, it's okay, Sir.” The receptionist was confused to see Ruby's behavior.
“Ya already, yuk!” Bring Dinan.
“I-iya, Mas.” Ruby hurriedly followed Dinan.
Dinan and Ruby walked together to the room they had rented, finally Ruby resigned if she had to sleep in the room with her boss.
“Why don't you book another room?” Cecar Dinan, even though he already knew the answer.
“I don't want to stay in just any place. This is the best hotel here, as well as being the closest to the Made Kris.” residence
Ruby knitted her brows. “Made Kris? Who is it, Mas?”
“He is a Balinese painter and jewelry designer who is famous in Europe, but since his daughter died a year ago, he decided to come back here and stop working. That's why I want to meet him directly and invite cooperation.”
“Oh, but didn't Mas say he hasn't worked since his daughter died, does he still want to work with our company?”
“I'll try to persuade him.” Answer Dinan.
“Why not look for other jewelry designers?”
“Because I am interested in him, I am sure his work will be amazing and can raise our company sales again.” Said Dinan sure.
They arrived in front of a white-painted room door, Dinan immediately opened the door using his keycard.
“Come, login!” Pinta Dinan who walked into the room while pulling her suitcase.
Ruby was glued to her place, she was still hesitant to enter. All her life, only Arkan had been in one room with her when they were husband and wife, so Ruby now felt awkward about having to be in a room with another man.
Dinan who saw Ruby was still sculpting outside, making a sound. “When are you there? Come inside! I won't fuck around.”
Ruby took a deep breath, then exhaled. With a slight hesitation he began to step his foot into the room.
“Put your suitcase there!” Dinan pointed at the corner of the room. “Then rest for a while, because after this, we will go directly to the house Made Kris.”
“Iya, Mas.” Ruby obeyed Dinan's orders.
“Oh yes, Ruby. Can I ask you something no?”
“What's the question, Mas?”
“How long have you been divorced from your husband?”
Ruby was silent because Dinan asked a very personal question, but she finally answered. “His divorce decision is only two weeks, but we already separated the house from a few months ago.”
“Appeared new, yes?” Dinan Sahut. “If you may know, you split up because of what?”
Ruby gasped, she felt uneasy because Dinan asked that.
“Sorry, I can't say it. I don't want to expose my household disgrace to others.”
Dinan was stunned to hear the words - other people - that Ruby said. Yes, he was indeed someone else, not anyone Ruby.
Dinan then got up and looked at Ruby. “Sorry, yes. I just want to know.”
Ruby just nodded. “Iya, it's okay.”
