The Honorary Owner
105

Shocked, scared and panicked gather into one self Genta. He did not expect to meet Handoko in this situation. He looked outside, there were no aides, bodyguards or Maria there.

"Tell me the truth." Pinta Handoko, "Don't leave a single situation!"

Genta nodded, he told Handoko all the truth. Starting from the affair of Hiko and Nara known to Ruby, until the case came to the public after Heru opened all Hiko's bad behavior in public to make Hiko misunderstand and rob Ruby of her honor.

Handoko closed her eyes, trying to accept this unpleasant situation again. Without a word, Handoko leaves Nara's house.

While Nara cried bitterly regretting her actions to Ruby. True what Genta said, Ruby suffered a lot because of it and now he makes Ruby suffer more.

Genta sighed, "You want to get Hiko, you can, Ra. He will marry you. But you should know and you should know if you marry her without her love."

Once again Genta's sentence was like a sharp knife that pierced his heart repeatedly. Her tears made her chest so hard she could breathe.

"Go back first and please, don't do stupid things that will harm yourself or others." Genta then left Nara.

Genta knew he had to go back to his house immediately. He doesn't want anything to happen to Hiko.

While the man who was worried about Genta was sitting on the floor, leaning his head on the bed, busy staring at all his regrets in the ceiling of his room.The usually neat room was now like a broken ship, it was a mess of his anger.

The clattering of footsteps hunting down from the stairs did not make him react.

BRAK!!

The door opened quite roughly, making Hiko aghast at Handoko's presence.

The long umbrella in his hand was thrown as tightly as possible into his son's body. Repeatedly, repeatedly and repeatedly Handoko hits Hiko venting her anger and disappointment.

Hiko doesn't know what makes her papa this angry, but she has no intention of avoiding it. He let his body accept all the pain.

The umbrella in Handoko's hand was broken, and now she uses her leg to kick her son. He did not care about his old breath that had been hunting, he was not satisfied to beat his son.

"Sir Sir!! Already, Sir!!"

The new clapper immediately restrained Handoko and tried to pull her.

Handoko's breath was cut off by fatigue, Genta pulled a chair to serve as Handoko's seat. Genta's coming out for a second,

"Bi Inah!! Please bring water for me, Bi!" Shouted Genta then immediately returned to Hiko's room.

Hiko was still curled up on the floor. Not because he was already helpless, his body was still strong receiving dozens more hits. But not with his heart, weak, fragile and wounded.

"You deserve to lose Ruby!! Such a kind woman does not deserve to be B*jing*n's wife like you!!" Handoko.

"Deliver Ruby and Marry Nara!" Handoko then leaves Hiko's room.

Inah who came brought a glass of water was confused because Handoko left and she did not dare to ask.

"Taroh here, Bi." Genta picked up the glass on the tray. "Thank you, Bi."

"Yes, Den."

Genta approached Hiko and placed the glass he carried on the nightstand and pulled Hiko's body to sit down. Hiko sat staring blankly at the floor, her hands hanging on the tops of her knees.

"Bokap you know that you've taken Ruby's honor." Genta.

Hiko took a deep breath, rubbing her face with both hands. "Gue has disappointed many, Ta!" Lirih.

Genta just nodded.

"Gue's taking Ruby off!"

"Lo can't have both, Ko." Genta Sahut. "Lo has a big responsibility from now on."

Hiko did not answer, her gaze was still empty.

"Lo can get through this, Ko." Genta patted Hiko's shoulder a few times.

"Gue doesn't love Nara, Ta."

"But he hummed your son, the result of your actions." Genta still convinced Hiko.

"Diem, Ta!" Sent Hiko, "Gue wants to be alone for now." He looked at Genta, pleading with great.

Genta nodded, "Gue go back, Ko." Pamit Genta's.

**********

A full day Ruby spent in the room, busying herself with the costume design of the Go Hanae players. repeatedly he made video calls with Abriz to be able to immediately get results that match Abriz's wishes.

"I'd rather the last one, By. How do you think?" ask Abriz.

"I'm also better suited to the design of the latter, Mas." Answer Ruby.

"OK on, By. So three more costumes, huh? could not, By? I have to go to Japan in a week."

"I'm sorry, Mas. Everything's falling apart because of me." Said Ruby.

"What the hell, By. I also understand your situation. We can video call gini too if I'm already in Japan."

"No, Mas. We can do it together in Japan."

"I mean, you? You're going to Japan, By?" ask Abriz.

"Yes, Mas. I'll be there."

"Hiko let you?"

"I don't need her permission now, I just need my parents' blessing."

Abriz was silent, he tried to guess what happened.

"I'll send the file via email, Mom." Ruby Continue.

"Yes, By. Thanks, Yes. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Ruby ends her video call and puts her phone on the table. His gaze stared far out the window of his room trying to convince himself of the decision he was about to make.

"You're really going to Japan, son?" asked Nyai Hannah who had been accompanying Ruby in the room.

Ruby looked at Umminya and nodded her head.

"Is your husband really the father of Nara's fetus, son?" ask Nyai Hannah.

Ruby was silent for a moment taking a deep breath. "Mas Hiko did not answer Ummi directly, but his eyes said that it was true."

"Ummi actually agrees if you go to Japan, son. Pursue your ideals."

Chequek!

Kyai Abdullah went into Ruby's room and sat down next to his wife.

"We're going home to Malang, son?" ask Kyai Abdullah.

Ruby shook her head, "After Hiko starts Ruby, Ruby wants to go to Japan, Abi." Answer Ruby.

Kyai Abdullah and Nyai Hannah stared at each other, trying to understand her daughter's decision.

"I'm sorry Ruby's been so embarrassing to the family, Abi, Ummi." Ruby Saying.

"Abi won't mind other people's responses, son. Most importantly Abi's only daughter is this happy." Kyai Abdullah still continues to give his daughter encouragement.

"Thank you, Abi."

"You really want to separate from your husband?" ask Kyai Abdullah.

Ruby nodded, "Ruby can't accept polygamy, Abi. I'm sorry, Ruby can't." Ruby's eyes began to glaze over.

"No, Son. Your brother didn't mean it that way." Nyai Hannah approached Ruby and hugged her.

"Abi just wants to make it clear, son. If that's what you want, Abi can answer Handoko if they ask." Said Kyai Abdullah, "Honestly Abi actually likes Hiko. Beyond his less commendable behavior, Abi saw something interesting in him. Abi knows he's a good guy, but Abi won't interfere with this, son. All decisions are in your hands."

"Ruby's sure he wants to end it, Abi."

Kyai Abdullah nodded, "Yes, son. Hopefully Hiko can accept all your decisions as well."

the tok tok tok.

"Mom, Ruby. You have guests, Mother." Azizah's voice was heard outside the room.

Ruby opened the door. "If it's Hiko, tell her I haven't been able to see her" Ruby said as the door opened.

Azizah shook her head, "No, Ma'am." Azizah's face looked uncomfortable.

"Who, Zizah?"

"Mr Nara, she's waiting in front."

Ruby was surprised, Why is Nara here? his inner. He looked at Abi and Umminya.

"Just go in, Zizah." Kyai Abdullah.

"Mbak Nara won't come in, Pakdhe." Answer Zizah.

"Yes, Ruby met Nara first, Abi, Ummi." Ruby Pamit.

After getting a nod from her parents, Ruby goes to see Nara.

The short-haired woman was standing near the gate, staring at the vast field that split the men's and women's boarding school.

"Ma ..." Call Ruby.

Nara turned her body around, her eyes puffy and still watering. She hugged Ruby and shed her tears.

"I'm sorry, By! I'm sorry!!" He spoke with his voice that was already raucous.

Ruby rubbed Nara's back. "I'm trying to forgive everyone, Ra. Including myself."

Nara shook her head. "You're not wrong, By. I..., I was wrong! I put you in this complicated state. I'm guilty of you, By." Nara was crying.

Ruby felt bad, she let go of Nara's embrace and pulled Nara away to the very end of the guest house. Where no one will pass there.

"Sit down, Ra." Ruby sat down.

Two chairs made of woven bamboo are available on the terrace of the guest house, Ruby and Nara fill each chair.

"I know everything, By."

Ruby was surprised, "What do you mean, Ra?"

Nara wiped her tears, "I already know, who took away your chastity." Nara closed her eyes and held back her tears.

Ruby took a deep breath, not knowing what to do with Nara. There was no relief or sadness when Nara knew everything. Since it was too late, it was all over.

"I regret everything I've done to you, By. I'm so sorry, I'm sorry. You fought a lot for my happiness, and only because my man could hurt you."

"It's not all your fault, Ra. I'm guilty here, too." Ruby word flat.

Suddenly, Ruby looked at Nara's stomach, making Nara cover her with her bag.

"I'm sorry for this, too, By. I'm not lying, this is Hiko's son."

A bitter sentence that was able to draw out Ruby's tears.

"By!" Nara pulled Ruby's hand, "I won't ask Hiko to marry me. I'll let him be with you."

Ruby shook her head, "I love her, Ra. But things are different now."

"By!"

"You might feel guilty to me, you might be able to let go of Hiko's mas, but don't forget her Ra!" Ruby looked back at Nara's stomach, "She needs a father figure, she needs legal confirmation. Take responsibility for your sins, do not let him be born by bearing the prayers of his father and mother." Said Ruby.

"Why do you always number the happiness of others, By?"

Ruby shook her head slowly. "For now I may not be happy, but I will continue to seek my happiness, Ra."

"Hiko loves you, By."

Ruby nodded, "I love her too, Ra."
