The Honorary Owner
Bonchap 5-2

"I don't agree, By. You have sacrificed a lot for me. I don't want you to do more than this." Hiko refused strictly the decision of his wife.

"Mas—"

"You want to argue with me?"

Ruby was silent when she saw her husband's face harden. The glare of those sharp and resolute eyes made him aware of his limit of imposing will. He sighed, giving his wish.

Hiko rubbed Ruby's cheek and reviewed the thin smile. "I'm going to the mosque first, huh?"

Ruby nodded.

"Don't talk about this again before you think about it well" he said.

This time Ruby did not give him a response. The man only rubbed his wife's cheek gently. "Assalamu'alaikum," he said.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

...🍂🍂🍂...

A few weeks since the incident made Ruby spend more time listening to all the stories from Almeer. Whether it's the story at school or in the mosque.

The little boy looked stronger than before. There were still some friends who were mocking, but Almeer was smarter than Ruby had imagined. He chose to stay away from unpleasant friends and join the friends who would accept him. Very proud when seeing such a small child can already choose how to make himself comfortable.

"Hey! Howdy!"

Abriz's snapping made his cluster of thoughts almost conical, breaking apart instantly.

"If you enter the room greetings, ma'am." Ruby looked at the annoyed oriental-faced man who was standing in front of his desk.

"Think what, anyway? Some days like to daydream."

"Not like it, Mom. I have to think of something."

"Aren't you happy with your marriage?"

"God! Your mouth cannot be controlled, yes!"

Ruby and Abriz's attention was distracted by the voice of the man who had just entered the room. Her beautiful face did not show hospitality to the man in front of Ruby. Not want if there is a commotion, Ruby stood up and approached her husband.

"Here you come, Mum?"

"What the hell is he here, By?" hiko asked with an annoyed face.

"Dark, Eduardo! You forget who owns this company?" ask Abriz growled. "Yuruyuru! Yuwen Ruby Yuwen Ruby!" He pointed at himself and Ruby alternately in a mocking tone.

"Run change that name!"

"Aduuuh .. never mind, Mas. Why is it always like this?" moaning Ruby.

"Get out, Lo!" hiko's orders to Abriz. He ignored his wife's complaints.

"Lo's got to get out of here. Just interrupt! There's important business too!" reply Abriz.

"Lo's message doesn't work. Work is only the aftermath of a few people!"

"Enak. I'm not doing it because it's expensive!" abriz said with great emphasis.

"Oh!" Hiko gave a small snort. "Lo for sale use discount, people on the mind. Udah diobral, no benefit—"

"Mas! Uda deh .. if you always come here to make a storm, mending I really-just stop working."

"Don't!" hiko and Abriz are together. They both looked at each other protesting.

"Compact dumbbells?" ruby murmur. He turned to the desk and tidied up his things.

"Why do you have such thoughts, By? We're going to want to get this company together." Abriz approached Ruby.

"But the smooth affairs of the wife depend on the blessing of the husband, Mas." Ruby looked at Hiko, "and my husband still gave me his blessing to stay here."

"Alhamdulillah" said Abriz gratefully. He faced Hiko and was about to regret it, but the man immediately raised his hand.

"Sorrys. Religion forbids contact with the Ainid uncle."

"Fuckers!" Abriz was about to kick Hiko's shin but the man was able to avoid it.

"Already, ah!" Ruby pulled Hiko's hand. "If you like to forget the age. Almeer is more mature than you."

"Almeer my son, By," protested Hiko as he followed his wife's steps.

"Tuh denger, ama your son just lost wisely!" sulut Abriz's.

Hiko was about to return back to the annoying man but Ruby did not give permission and continued to pull it.

They both walked down the corridor and down the stairs to the loby. Along the way, Ruby did not stop nagging about Hiko who always quarreled with Abriz. The woman stopped nagging as she answered the greetings from her employees. This made Hiko hold a smile at his wife.

"... 'wouldn't feel good about another officer. If they hear only a few words you say, they can misunderstand Mas Abriz."

Until getting into the car, Ruby has not finished her tirade. Hiko did not immediately start the car engine, he actually leaned on the car door while enjoying the figure of Tabina Ruby Azzahra which was still the same as three years ago.

"Not me, anyway?" ruby protests that feel Hiko is thinking about something else.

"Ndengerin, really," replied Hiko casually.

"No. You're thinking of something else!" accuse Ruby.

"Yes too, By." Hiko nodded truthfully, "but I'm also horrifying you. Want me to repeat what you've been talking about since you left the room until this second?" challenge Hiko.

"Who do you think, Mom?" Ruby doesn't ignore Hiko's challenge.

"Not to answer, Mom. Buruan. Poor Almeer at home alone."

Hiko still held back her laughter and started driving her vehicle. During the trip, Hiko changed the subject so that his wife would no longer sulk. But his efforts did not produce results. The character of Ruby who was gluttonous began to look again and it made Hiko even more anxious.

At a crossroads they should have turned to the right. Hiko took it to the left.

"Kok left turn, Mas?"

The attempt to make Ruby open her mouth was successful. He drove his car to Malioboro Street.

"Is there anything you want to buy, Mom?" ruby asked when she got out of the car.

"If memories can be bought, I'd be poor enough to buy every second of our memories here." With her camera, Hiko approached Ruby and took her to the sidewalk full of memories.

The afternoon atmosphere of Jogjakarta is quite warm. White clouds hang beautifully under the bluish sky. The breeze blowing low enough to shake the tree of pangguli that still leaves flowers on its branches.

The road sidewalk is quite crowded but not too crowded. Ruby has very often walked in this place, but it feels very different when together with Hiko.

"Why not Al, Mom? Pity you for waiting."

"There's Papa and Mama at home, By."

"Loh! There's Papa and Mama, why don't you take me for a walk here, Mas? Let's go home."

Hiko held his wife's hand. "Papa and Mama purposely told us to go on a date, Ruby."

Ruby cringing.

"We haven't spent time together since we got married." Hiko's shady smile made Ruby melt. The woman nodded.

Slowly they went down the sidewalk while talking about all the memories they had gone through in that place. From end to end and finally they come back again along the same place.

"Sit down, By." Hiko pointed at an empty bench.

Ruby followed Hiko's steps and the two of them sat side by side. Just sitting down, Ruby was standing up again. He asks Hiko for permission to buy mineral water.

He went to the hawker not far from where he sat. When she was about to return, Ruby saw Hiko was daydreaming while staring at the pangguli tree on the sidewalk.

"I'm really curious to read your mind, Mom!" ruby said when she got in front of Hiko.

"Don't!" He grabbed a bottle of mineral water from Ruby's hand and unsealed it and gave it to his wife. "You'll be jealous."

Ruby who wanted to gulp the water immediately canceled. "Jealous to whom?" tanyakanya.

"The chatty girl who adores herself so much was beautiful when I took her picture under this tree."

"You think of one of your model photos?" ruby's face turned sour.

"Model photos aren't ya, her?" Hiko seemed to think. "Beauty, sweet, cute, body also—"

Ruby quickly covered Hiko's mouth with her hand. His thin lips were tightly clenched. "You want to make me cry here, Mom?" lirih.

Hiko quickly grabbed Ruby's hand and frantically saw her beautiful eyes begin to cultivate a clear liquid. "Don't get me wrong, By. I—"

"You praised the other woman in front of me. Even you've noticed the curves of his body."

Hiko held back a laugh hearing his wife's reasoning. He opened the camera screen and looked for something there.

"We'll just go home, Mom." Ruby stood up, but Hiko pulled her to sit back down.

"He ...." Hiko shows her camera screen to Ruby. "He's what I mean."

Again Ruby was embarrassed when he saw the picture of himself a few years ago in this place. "You're embarrassing me again, Mom." He banged on Hiko's arm.

"Oh Allah .. Is this woman to me?" hiko Goda.

"Nyebelin you, Mas. Who doesn't misunderstand. You said he was a nag, a puck."

"Isn't it like that?"

"I'm not like that, Mom. You're making it up," Ruby's look blushed in embarrassment.

Hiko chuckled as she pinched his wife's red cheeks. "Ruby ...," call him friendly.

The woman is still down.

"Tabina Ruby Azzahra?"

Now the owner of the name raised his head, looking at her husband's face. "Yes, Mom?"

"There's something I miss about you, and today I found it." Hiko was silent for a moment, she clasped Ruby's hand."Be a wise mother in front of our children, and be a spoiled wife if you are near me."

One sentence that can make Ruby cheeks red. Between shame and shame. He could not even hide the neat teeth behind a smile.
