After taking Almer to school, Hiko immediately followed his men who were doing a shooting project in one corner of Malioboro. The goal is to meet Ruby.

"Do! Do you really from yesterday morning standby here continues? not anywhere?" ask Hiko.

"Yes, Boss. Really!" Answer the fat man named Edo.

"Lo see this chick, don't you? sat here yesterday." Hiko showed the results of Edo's shot on her phone.

"Bos nih, if the clear is immediately visible. I got a clearer one, Boss."

Edo showed me some pictures of Ruby on his camera screen, "Repert right boss? What a girl's dream." Praise Edo.

Hiko was really happy, it was really Ruby, she was already in the homeland now, here, close to him.

"Delete all the photos of this girl or I delete you be my employee!"

"Astaqfirullah, Boss. Kejem amet."

"Udah, delete it!"

Hiko returns the camera to Edo and he starts walking along Malioboro Street. This is the reason why four years ago he moved to Jogja, because of this road. This is where he has great memories with Ruby.

I always walk alone here, alone. I wish I could walk with you again. Could it?

I do not know how many times Hiko down Malioboro road, right side and left side. Looked at each person's face hoping to find his longing there, but he was still unlucky.

The voice of qiro'ah ahead of the adhan duhur began to be heard in mosques around Malioboro street. Hiko forgets something, he has to pick up Almeer and drive Almeer to Nara.

Hiko immediately rushed to the place where her car was parked. He's going to Almeer's school. The density of the streets around Malioboro should make him more patient to move his vehicle slowly.

But there is one figure that makes him sculpt to turn the time to a few years ago. The woman wearing a black, milk-brown robe was standing across the street waiting for something. Ruby, his miss and his love. Found her.

Tiin tiinn.

The sound of the vehicle behind Hiko resuscitated his daydream. He wanted to come down to Ruby. But the streets are too crowded, if he stops it will definitely make a traffic jam there. Hiko's only hope is to immediately turn around and hope that Ruby is still there or call Ruby from the car, then have the woman wait for her. Not cool, but it counts for success.

Just a few steps forward and Hiko wants to try his luck, he has failed. Ruby has entered a black sedan car that she does not know who is in it.

"Surely the chick's in it!" Hiko comforts herself.

He hopes to quickly pass through the traffic jam and immediately turn around the direction of chasing Ruby.

But time is still not on her side, Hiko has been chasing after Ruby but still he can not find the car that brought Ruby some time ago. He wanted to keep looking, but his son had waited long enough for this moment.

Hiko finally restrains her ego and ambition and takes her car to Almeer's school.

The school already looked deserted, Hiko hurriedly ran around the school corridor leading to the teacher's room. Hiko's presence there became a breath of fresh air for the teachers' mothers, almost all the teachers in the teacher's room stood up to welcome Hiko.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mom. I'm sorry, I'm gonna go get Almeer." Hiko looked at her son who was sitting pouting on one of the chairs.

"Papa's here, son. Smile first, huh?" persuade Ms. Lilis, Almeer's homeroom teacher.

Almeer stood up carrying his bag of origin to approach Hiko. "How long, anyway? Al late dhuhur prayer, right?" Almeer Protest.

Hiko smiled, "I'm sorry, Al. We'll stop by the mosque while we go to Mama Nara's place." Hiko said, "Pamit to Miss Lilis first, Al."

"Al said yes, Mom." Pamit Almeer kissing Lilis's hand, "Assalamu'alaikum ..."

"Thank you, Mom. Assalamu'aikum ..." Pamit Hiko's.

"Ma'alaikumsalam ..."

Hiko and Almeer rushed into the car then took the car out of the school parking lot and stopped at one of the nearby mosques.

"We pray first, Al."

Almeer nodded, he picked up the little glove that was in the car's dashboard drawer.

The two immediately entered the mosque, taking ablution and prayer. After the prayer Hiko sat first on the terrace of the mosque with Almeer.

"Al, laper?" ask Hiko.

Almeer nodded, "Yes, Pa."

"We ate first, and then went to Mama Nara's place." Said Hiko.

Almeer.

Hiko and Almeer move into a restaurant for lunch. Almeer had started to talk about all his activities at school earlier. Usually Hiko is very enthusiastic, but this time is different, making Almeer upset.

"Why don't I, anyway?" ask Almeer.

"Dengeeer, Al." replied Hiko.

"But the rich man's papa face is confused? Oom Genta makes papa dizzy again?" ask Almeer.

Hiko shook his head and smiled, "Oom Genta is dizzy every day, Al."

"Trus why?"

"Udah, the food is consumed."

Almeer continued eating, but suddenly he remembered something. "Well, how did you meet Mama Ruby?"

Hiko smiled, "Yes."

"No meeting, Al? I'd like to see you, Pa." Almeer Whine.

"Papa hasn't seen you in person, Al. Just met from far away." Answer Hiko.

"Papa doesn't know Mama Ruby's house, Al. Where can we go."

"Yeah..." Disappointed almeer.

"Al also help do'a yes, so that you can meet Mama Ruby."

"And every prayer Al do'ain, Pa"

"Thank you, thank you, Al."

Almeer smiled widely, then the two of them continued their lunch.

After lunch, Hiko drove back to where Nara was. Almeer also invites Hiko to stop by the flower shop to give to Nara. Long enough to travel to Nara's place, it took half an hour more and finally they stopped at a cemetery complex.

A funeral?

Yes, Nara's current residence is underground.

Hiko guides Almeer's steps towards Nara's final resting place. A tombstone bearing Nara's name, date of birth and date of death is in sight.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mama." Almeer said hello, there was no look of sadness there.

Hiko looked at her son with pride as well as pity.

Since getting word if she can not return to perfect health after giving birth, Nara began to doctrine Almeer who could not even crawl by always calling Ruby as Mama. Many photos of Ruby are displayed in her room, every time every time, Nara always tells about how good Ruby is to her, how unfortunately Ruby is to Almeer. Until finally Nara stopped telling all of Ruby's kindness to Al about a year ago, when she breathed her last due to heart disease and kidney failure due to the preclampsia she suffered during pregnancy.

Hiko and Nara's marriage never continued, Hiko never uttered the qabul ijab again after Almeer's birth in this world until the woman died. Hiko's feelings are only limited to caring, because she's the mother of her son. Maybe he can make peace with himself and forgive Nara's mistakes. But when it came to the heart, she could not lie, the owner of her heart was only Ruby. And he has no desire to share it with others.

Hiko was still looking at her son who told her a story, singing while shaking his body in front of Nara's grave. I don't know what Nara always said to such a small child that her son always looks strong and does not grieve.

Ashar makes Hiko and Almeer end his meeting with Nara. They left the tomb and returned home. Of course, do not forget they stopped by a mosque to perform Ashar prayers then they continued to go home.

Hours home office makes the streets of Jogjakarta a little more crowded vehicles, Hiko had to be more patient driving his car. Almeer was sleeping in his seat, he occasionally rubbed his son. He filled his boredom while looking towards the right and left of the road. The sweet Martabak shop on the side of the road made him tempted and wanted to buy it while waiting for the streets a bit.

Hiko pulled her car over and parked it in front of the martabak shop. Al wakes up when the car engine stalls, he stares around and is confused because it is not in his yard.

"Buy sweet martabak first, baby." Said Hiko.

"Assessiaty." Shouted Almeer spirit.

The two of them immediately got down and went to the sweet martabak shop. Many visitors because it is one of the best sweet martabak shops in Jogjakarta.

"Mas, one yes! Milk chocolate flavor." Hiko said to the young man who was busy chopping up sweet martabak.

"OK, Mum. It's a little long for him."

"Big!" Hiko gave her thumbs up because she understood the buying habits in this store.

He and Almeer always sit near the place where the sweet martabak is made, because Almeer really likes to see the process of making his martab.

"Min. What's that beautiful request? I forgot to."

"Well, you're the one who's talking to me and you're asking me."

"Beauty, Min. My brain is everywhere."

"Yes ask there."

The debate between the two men made Hiko chuckle and wonder how pretty the woman who made the mas-mas failed to focus.

He looked up his head trying to find some bookers who queued at various corners of the store.

"Bak, light brown veil." Call officer martabak.

At that moment Hiko saw a beautiful woman in a light brown hood raise her head to look at the martabak employee.

"What's the request?"

The woman ran over to the martabak making place.

"Sweet martabak flavored chocolate, cheese, same beans. The chocolate is the most. the cheese as well, the nuts are sown just above the cheese. Trus cut it must be twelve."

Not yet the woman replied, Hiko had explained it to the officer nearby. Of course, it made the martabak employee as well as the woman who stood not far in front of him was surprised.

"Special Martabak for Tabina Ruby Azzahra." Hiko continued with a faint smile on her lips.

He did not expect to meet the owner of his miss in this place. The woman looked surprised at Hiko who was sitting not far in front of her.

"How are you, By?" Sapa Hiko's.
