THE PLAQUE!!

A loud slap from the handoko landing on Hiko's cheek left Maria and Nara shocked.

Hiko just held onto her heated cheeks and bowed down not daring to look at her papa.

"When are you going to be an adult?" Handoko asked in anger.

Maria held her husband's hand so as not to hurt Hiko again.

"When will you stop acting? How far would you embarrass papa?" Ask Handoko.

Hiko remained silent.

"If you still want to work in this field, cut off your relationship or cut off our family relationship!"

"Bah! Papa can't give me such a choice." protested Hiko.

"Sorry Mr. Handoko interrupted your conversation. But I have to set the record straight, between me Hiko has nothing to do but a colleague. I'm Genta's assistant, where I dare to be in a relationship with Hiko. As far as I know, Hiko already has a boyfriend. Actually it's just a personal matter of me and my husband who've misunderstood me and Hiko."

Handoko never once looked at Nara, for her explanation was nothing more than an excuse.

"Parent wait for your decision." Handoko then got into the car.

Maria looked at Hiko worriedly, she rubbed Hiko's cheek that got her husband's slap. "Mom go home first, baby. Think everything out, baby." She said she followed her husband into the car.

Hiko was still silent about the departure of papa and her mother's car.

"Darling..." Nara approaches Hiko.

"Gue doesn't want to talk about this now. I'm going to go in first." Hiko left Nara.

Seeing Hiko's attitude like that made Nara feel very guilty. He wants to leave his job, but not to let Hiko go. Because of her bang, Hiko is more than anything.

Meanwhile, Hiko tries to calm herself in the room. His body was already lying on the bed with his arms shut his eyes trying not to think of anything.

All efforts to calm the mind failed he did, in fact the more he closed his eyes increasingly glistened the treatment of the crew and his papa today to him.

He opened his eyes, his hands reaching for the phone he had placed on the nightstand. He pressed the number one speed dial on his phone screen and came out the name Genta there.

The phone connection has rung twice and Hiko immediately disconnects the phone and then puts the phone hard on the nightstand.

"Wrt*ng!" He sat down and threw his pillow in any direction realizing that Genta had left him.

"Gahar!!" His screams unleashed anger.

He picked up his phone and made a phone call. "Take the kids to Jony's tonight! I'll buy what you want!"

Hiko put her phone back down and then went to the bathroom.

**********

Nara is confused in her room as more and more journalists come to her house. The night sky did not make his intention to turn on the lights, he just wanted the news seekers to think no one was home and immediately left his house.

"By, help me." Nara said knocking, she decided to call her best friend.

"What's wrong with you, Ra?" Ruby was worried about hearing Nara's tone.

"There's a lot of reporters here, By. Please come here, tell them I'm not here. Please pretend you're living with me here." Pinta Nara's.

Ruby still did not answer. He was staring at the clock on the wall of his room which had shown him at nine o'clock in the night.

"Yes, Ra. I'll be there soon." Ruby replied later, although she was hesitant to get permission from Kyai Nur and Nyai Fatimah.

"Thank you, By. Then you'll just grab the spare key under the pot of plants right next to the door." Nara clearly.

"Yes, Ra."

"I hung up." Nara ended her phone call.

While Ruby rushed out of her room and approached her Paklek and Bulek who were still talking to several nannies of the boarding school son and daughter in the living room.

"Assalamu'alaikum, I'm sorry to interrupt." Ruby said in a hurry.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." everyone answered

Seeing Ruby's confusion made Nyai Fatimah approach her and take Ruby to the back.

"Why, By?" Ask Nyai Fatimah

"Bulek, Ruby wants permission to go to Nara's house. He was alone and frightened because his house was surrounded by many journalists."

"It's night, By. Bulek can't let you out."

Ruby drew both hands of Nyai Fatimah, "Ruby please, bulek. Ruby's afraid something's going on with Nara"

"By, if you insist on going out. Better get your brother's permission first." Kyai Nur suddenly came.

Ruby nodded and picked up her phone to call Abinya immediately.

Once connected, Ruby immediately explained everything to Abinya.

"Make sure to go home soon if Nara calms down, By. Abi doesn't want you out there too long." Kyai Abdullah.

"Alhamdullillah, thank you Abi for giving permission. Ruby make sure to go home after everything can be resolved."

"Yes, Son. Be careful because it's night."

"Yes, By. Assalamu'alaikum." Ruby ended her phone call.

"Where, By?" Ask Kyai Nur.

"Abi let me, Paklek. Only Abi told me to go home as soon as Nara calmed down."

Kyai Nur nodded, "Ehsan? San?"

Hearing her name being called made Ehsan exit the room, "Dalem, Abi."

"Your antler went to his friend's house, yeah." Pinta Kyai Nur's.

"Good, Abi." Ehsan. "Ehsan change clothes first" Ehsan said.

Ruby asks Ehsan to stop not far from Nara's dark house but many people with cameras there.

"Bak later if you want to go home whatsapp Ehsan only yes."

"Yes, San. Thanks, San. Ma'am go first, Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Ruby leaves Ehsan and walks towards Nara's house. The courtyard of Nara's house without a fence made journalists want to go into the terrace of the house.

Ruby's presence there immediately catches their attention, with a quick reporter and cameraman approaching Ruby looking for Ruby with questions about who she is and what her relationship with Nara is.

Ruby lowered her head to avoid the lights she was pointing at.

Ruby remained silent, slowly raising her head and adjusting her gaze to the bright light that entered her eyes.

"Can you let me talk first?" Ask Ruby.

"Sst ssssttt sssttt" Instantly became silent.

"First I say, I am not a public figure that you can casually enter my face in any media. I will sue anyone who releases my face to any medium.

Second, I am the owner of this house. And it just so happens that he can't go home because of all of you here. Since the owner of this house does not exist, I was asked to help clear something in there.

Third, I ask for help to leave this courtyard of the house. Because I would be very disturbed if you were all here. If you still insist here, I will ask RT and security complex to take care of this inconvenience. I hope you appreciate my privacy and activities here.

Fourth, please do not ask anyone whereabouts to me. Because I can't answer it."

Ruby's statement was enough to make the reporters did not dare to ask questions, they were quite familiar with Ruby's words. They gave way to Ruby leaving the crowd.

All the members of the media did not believe completely with Ruby's statement, but inevitably they did have to leave Nara's house.

Ruby entered the house from a key under a pot of plants near the door. It was enough to convince the reporters that the house was empty.

Ruby walked in, slowly walking in the darkness and headed straight for Nara's room. He looks for Nara's room light switch and turns it on.

Ruby saw Nara sitting in the corner of the room by drowning her face in the folds of her hand.

"By!" Ruby approached Nara.

Nara lifted her head, She looked relieved when Ruby had already come. "I'm glad you've come, By. I'm so scared."

Ruby immediately hugged Nara, "You don't have to worry, Ra. They're all gone."

"Thank you, By. Sally." Nara said between her cries.

Ruby releases Nara's embrace as Nara's phone shakes on the floor where Nara is sitting. Ruby could see that there was a Hiko name there.

Nara receives Hiko's phone call, she hears a noise there.

"You're at the club again?" Nara asked, hearing the loud music and the loud screams of people.

"Lo why, baby? Crying out?" Hiko asked back ignoring Nara's question.

"Yes. I'm afraid, a lot of reporters are waiting in front of the house." Answer Nara.

"Suckers! How dare they go to your house!"

"Now that I'm fine, Ruby's got them gone."

There was no reply from Hiko, only loud music behind the phone.

"I know you're dizzy, don't make you drunk baby. I also don't want you to touch another woman besides me." Pinta Nara.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Hiko briefly.

"You don't have to worry about me, I've been with Ruby." Nara.

"Yes, I'd like to continue the same thing first."

"Yes, baby."

Nara put her phone back on the floor.

"I'm sorry, Ra. I can't take long, Abi doesn't want me to stay here." Ruby

Nara nodded, "Yes, By. I'm grateful you've been here. I'm better now."

"I'll bring you some food, let's eat it first." Ruby pulled Nara's hand to help her stand up.

**********

Hiko was sitting hugging the woman wearing sexy clothes, as well as her other friends. Liquor and some snacks had already filled the table where Hiko and her friends were gathered. Hiko's hand had been unceasingly touching the intimate part of her date, the woman's sigh sank just between the thump of discotheque music.

"Aarrrar!!!" hiko shouted annoyed that his mind was still unable to be distracted from his problem, he pushed the woman beside him violently.

"Why, Brother?" Ask Alex, Clubing Hiko's friend.

"Have your men come here, I want to give them a job." Hiko shouted so Alex could hear her voice.

Alex picked up his phone and called someone, "Get in, Hiko has a job for you" he said briefly then hung up.

In less than five minutes, three men of great stature approached Hiko's desk.

Hiko shows her cell phone screen, "Take this girl to Alex's apartment! I want to teach him a lesson. I'll send you the address, lest anyone know you're bringing him!" Hiko Pinta.
