"I. contain the blood of your flesh!"

Nara's sentence that was decapitated was able to make Hiko stretch the pressure of his hand on Nara's neck. Nara quickly pushed the dumbfounded Hiko. He leaned over and took a strong breath.

"Lo don't just talk, Ra!" Genta.

"Make Hiko's mas, why did you get to Ra?" ask Ruby.

Nara straightened up and looked at Ruby, "You think I'm lying? you read this! I went to the gynecologist this morning!!" Nara gives a piece of paper to Ruby.

Ruby opened the paper, there were USG results there and a writing that explains if Nara is really pregnant with four weeks of age.

Ruby quickly threw the paper in front of Nara, "He's not my husband's son, Ra." Ruby said.

"You think I'm a cheap woman who can do it with anyone, By!?" Jerky Nara.

Ruby looked at Hiko who was just pecking with a deathly pale face. "Maos ..."

"Tell him, Ko! What have we done when you stayed with me!!" Shouted Nara with her tears.

"Mas," Ruby shook Hiko's hand, "Speak." Ruby's tears started to drip

Hiko looked at Ruby, there was no answer there, only regret and guilt. From the look in her eyes, Ruby found an answer she did not get.

It hurts!

His heart ached, his chest felt tight, his breath held in his throat. More water came out. He let go of Hiko's hand slowly.

"Have you lied to me, Mom?" Lirih.

"Acasino'aikum ..."

A greeting turned everyone's attention to the two guests who had just entered the living room, Handoko and Maria.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh..."

The greeting from the direction of the household Hiko again attracted attention. Kyai Abdullah and Nyai Hannah are seen coming down the stairs.

"What's this?" Handoko is confused to see Nara and Ruby crying.

"Ruby ..." Nyai Hannah approached her daughter and hugged her.

"Noe....." Ruby cried, roaring as loudly as she could in the arms of Nyai Hannah.

"What's this, son?" asked Nyai Hannah who was panicking to see her daughter to Hiko.

Maria came to Ruby. "What's this, Ko?"

Hiko did not answer anyone's questions, he only noticed Ruby was very hurt. She wanted to pull Ruby and hug her.

Handoko sees something in Nara's grasp, she forcibly retrieves the item and a piece of paper that falls on the floor. His face turned furious as he read the writing on the paper.

Handoko throws the test results and approaches Hiko.

BUGS!!

A hard fist from Handoko's fist made Hiko fall to the floor. Fresh blood flowed in one corner of Hiko's lips.

"So stop embarrassing your parents!!" Sentak Handoko.

Everyone was astonished to see Hiko fall down, but no one dared to help him.

"Pak Handoko, sir. Don't be so hard." Kyai Abdullah tried to calm his besieging.

Handoko immediately rested at Kyai Abdullah's feet, "I'm sorry Kyai, I'm sorry."

"Astaqfirullahaladzim, Mr. Handoko!!" Kyai Abdullah immediately pulled up Handoko's shack and invited her to stand up.

The middle-aged man was embarrassed to the point that his cries broke.

"Can you explain what happened, Nara?" ask Mary who is confused by this situation.

Nara hesitated to say it, she still pursed her lips tightly and occasionally wiped her tears.

"Nara. Say it, son." Nyai Hannah is pressing."

"I'm carrying Hiko's child."

"Goddessa!!"

Kyai Abdullah was shocked to the point that his body was staggered, while Nyai Hannah hugged her daughter more tightly.

Ruby ran away from the living room and went to her room, Hiko immediately ran after Ruby.

"Shelf!!"

The door closed very hard before Hiko managed to get inside the room. Ruby locked the door to the room, not letting anyone in.

"By! let me in, By!" Hiko kept banging on the door of her room.

There was no answer from the inside, Hiko could not hear anything from the outside, no matter what Ruby was doing inside.

"By!! We need to talk."

Now that Hiko faintly heard the cry of his wife, it made Hiko even more crazy.

"By...," Tears flowed down Hiko's cheeks, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."

The man leaned against the door with all his regret and guilt.

Nyai Hannah came over to Hiko, her eyes and cheeks were still very wet.

"Ummi, Hiko-"

"What is true, Nara? Did you really touch any other woman besides your wife?" ask Nyai Hannah.

Nyai Hannah let out a long breath. "Ummi saw you and Nara go into Nara's room that afternoon, in Malang's house. You were in that room for a long time."

The deg!

Hiko's heart seemed to stop beating hearing Nyai Hannah's statement.

"Hiko-"

"Ummi was trying to shake that fact when Ruby told me she was starting to love you, son. Ummi was trying to believe what Ruby was believing. But not now, son."

"Ummi-"

"Let us take our daughter home, son." Pinta Nyai Hannah's.

Hiko shook her head quickly, "Sorry Ummi, Hiko can't do that. Please don't separate us."

Nyai Hannah did not answer.

"Hiko please, Ummi. Don't separate us."

"You'd better calm yourself down first."

"We'll solve this problem together, Ummi."

Chequek!

The door of the room opened, Ruby stood with her eyes on the lip of the door.

"By!" Hiko quickly approached Ruby.

"Don't touch me, Mas!" Said Ruby when Hiko would touch her. He looked at Hiko, "I'll go home with Abi and Ummi."

Hiko stared at the suitcase in Ruby's hand and the backpack that had hung on Ruby's boat.

"By, please! Don't leave me!" Hiko pulled Ruby's hand.

"Take me off, Mom!" Ruby shouted very angry.

"Bi ..."

Nyai Hannah leaves Hiko and Ruby, she goes into Ruby's former room and before long she comes out with a tote bag in her hand.

"Finish your talk, Ummi wait for you downstairs, By." Ummi then went down the stairs.

Ruby was about to chase after Umminya, but Hiko immediately pulled Ruby's hand.

"I beg. By! Don't go!"

"Take me off, Mom!!" Ruby snapped, she struggled to release her hand from Hiko's.

Hiko pulled Ruby's body and hugged her tightly while Ruby still struggled to escape, but Hiko was too strong to hold her back.

"I beg you not to go, By. Don't leave me." Hiko Pinta.

Ruby cried again, hitting Hiko on the back with the rest of her strength. Slowly the punch weakened but the crying broke even more. Ruby's hands tightly gripped Hiko's clothes.

"I never wanted to leave you, Mom. I always wanted to come to you. I love you, I love you. But why do you always leave me?"

Hiko hugged Ruby more and more, "I'm sorry I always hurt you, again, then forgot and I did it again."

Ruby stopped her crying, she pulled her body slowly from Hiko's embrace, covering Hiko's cheeks with both hands. "I love you, Mas. I love you, but I can't stay with you. You gave me too deep a wound, ma'am."

"Bi ..."

"You have to take responsibility for what you've done, Mom."

"By, I just love you."

"I know that, but the child in Nara's womb needs her father. I can't make him born without having a father."

"I can't let you go, By."

"You can't get both, Mom." Ruby lowered her hand to Hiko's chest, "I'll tell you if my period is late, then I hope you drop a talagh for me."

Hiko shook her head quickly, covering Ruby's cheeks. "I won't drop a talagh for you, By. I'm not divorcing you."

"If so. I'll leave you, Mas."

Hiko hugged Ruby back, her tears dripping back to prove how much she did not want to lose her wife. "I beg you, don't go."

Ruby let out a long sigh, she did not want to cry anymore. He let go of Hiko's embrace. "We started this marriage the wrong way, Mas. Maybe this is what we should accept from this mistake."

Ruby took off the ring on her ring finger, "Be responsible for what you did, Mas." Ruby grabbed Hiko's one hand and placed the ring on it.

"I beg you, don't look for me these few days. I want to make peace with this situation. It's too heavy for me."

Ruby let go of Hiko's hand and held the lever of her suitcase, "Don't hold me back and don't chase after me, Mas. I'm not leaving because I hate you but I'm tired of this story."

Ruby looked at Hiko, trying to convince Hiko to really obey her will. Although the look of the man's eyes seemed reluctant, Ruby still stepped away from him.
