The Honorary Owner
27

"WHAT'S MY FAULT TO YOU!"

Ruby is not asking questions, she just does not know how to express her anger seeing Hiko who can still act as if nothing has happened between them. Is that as cheap as Ruby in Hiko's eyes, so that Hiko can forget the incident easily?

Ruby stood up and left Hiko. He could not stand in front of Hiko. I don't know what he's gonna do to that guy. He never thought he would do anything if he knew who took away his honor.

Hating him is sure!

Wanting to make her receive such a deserved punishment was also certain!

Ruby is in a state of concern. Nara, she's thinking about her best friend's feelings. What if Nara finds out the man she loves has done her best friend wrong? But Nara must know that Hiko is not a good man for her.

Ruby wiped her tears and looked for Nara around the shooting location but she never found it.

"Genta Mas!" Ruby approached Genta. "Mas know Nara?" Ask Ruby

Genta looked at Ruby's eyes that were still wet from tears.

"Where's mas??" Ask Ruby.

"Eh, Nara just came back. Try to follow it, still hunted like it."

Ruby immediately rushed after Nara to the parking lot but she did not get Nara there. He pulls out his phone and calls Nara but can't connect. He intends to send a message, it turns out he has got a message from Nara if he will go home first.

Without a second thought Ruby ordered an online motorcycle taxi to Nara's house.

Meanwhile, Hiko is running around looking for Ruby to clarify what Ruby's question means.

"Nyari Nara too?" Genta asked when he saw Hiko confused looking for people.

"No, Ruby. You see him?"

Genta gave a seductive smile, "Isn't he blatantly nyari?"

"B*ngs*t, Lo! Where the hell is he?"

"Ngejar Nara."

"Where?"

"The parking lot ahead of the rich."

Hiko had turned around to chase after Ruby, but Genta immediately pulled Hiko's shirt. "Where are you? Bentar again lo part, Fajar already nyari lo from earlier. Klujuran aja!"

"Gue wants to ask Ruby something first, Ta. It's important!"

Genta shook his head, "Lo's just gonna make sure he fights doank right. Mending you spout change your costume!" Genta pushes Hiko into the costume room.

Hiko finally resigned and obeyed Genta's will, even though he was still curious why Ruby could suddenly cry and be angry with him.

**********

Ruby has just arrived at Nara's house, she can see there is a car that is not driven by Nara usually. I don't know who it belongs to, which clearly doesn't belong to Heru.

"Excuse me."

THE PLAQUE!!

"Astaqfirullah!" Ruby was surprised when she saw Nara fall down due to a slap from her Papa Nara.

Ruby's presence at the door caught the attention of Ivan and Evelyn, Papa and Mama Nara.

"I'm sorry, Ruby came all of a sudden." Ruby said no good. He looked at Nara.

"Let's know this friend of yours, By! Let her know that she is ashamed of her family!" Said Ivan.

This is not the first time Ruby saw Nara treated like this by Ivan and Ivan also always asked Ruby to straighten the way of Nara's mind which is sometimes unnatural.

"Yes, Pa. Ruby's gonna try to talk to Nara." Ruby replied, He went into the living room and helped Nara stand up.

"If Heru divorces you! What are we living wearing! Huh huh? Enough of your salary to cost us all our lives?" Snatch Ivan again.

Evelyn simply rubbed her husband's back to remain patient.

"Nara never loved Heru, Pa! Now he knows the truth."

"Love love love! You think life is just love! You think love can pay off papa's debts?"

"Who's got a debt why did Nara have to pay it? Even Nara never enjoyed the results."

"Brazed kid!"

Ivan takes a vase of flowers on the living room table and wants to throw it at his daughter, but she uncovers it when Ruby tries to protect her son.

"Bah, already. Enough's enough! Let's just go home." Take Evelyn.

PYARS!

Ivan threw a vase of flowers on the glass table to make the glass break.

"If Heru is convinced by this divorce, you are no longer my son!" Ivan rushed away with his anger.

"The hunted mama left, Nara did not want mama to be an outlet for papa's anger" said Nara

Evelyn kissed Nara and Ruby's forehead alternately. "Mom go first, baby."

"Be careful, Ma." Nara and Ruby.

Just as soon as Evelyn, Ruby hastily checked Nara's body.

"Where were you hit, Ra?" Ruby asked, because she was sure Nara didn't just get a slap.

Nara shows some of her limbs that got a blow from her papa. No bruising there yet, surely the next few hours will appear.

"We'll just go to the room, let me clean this up later." Take Ruby, get Nara who she can actually walk on her own.

"Mas Heru wants to divorce you, Ra?" Ruby asked when Nara was already sitting on her bedroom bed.

Nara nodded, "Actually I wanted that a long time ago. That way I can marry Hiko, By."

"But Ra, it looks like Hiko is not a good man for you. He's been having sex with women other than you."

"Hahahaha, Yes. How can you know such things?"

Ruby thought quickly, "Many talk about it."

Ruby strangely sees Nara who looks no objection to Hiko's ugliness.

"And you still want to marry her?" Ask Ruby.

"Other than you, he's the one who understands me the most, By. Maybe he used to change his bedmates often, but now it has reduced. Most importantly he loves me and I love him."

"That's not healthy, Ra! You're willing to touch another woman while you're her lover." Ruby asked not believing Nara's thoughts.

"Since I've been with me he's hardly ever touched another woman."

"Is that your love for her, Ra?"

Nara nodded, "Maybe I would have done the same as you if I had lost her, By."

Ruby rubbed Nara's shoulder, "Don't ever do that, I don't want to lose you, Ra."

Nara hugged Ruby, "Thank you, By. Already present in this world and always there for me."

Ruby nodded, at once she threw away all the initial reasons that made her have to go to Nara immediately.

Suddenly, he felt he had no more pride if he had to tell Nara that it was Hiko who had taken away his honor. Now he does not want anyone to consider it lower because it was successfully slept by Hiko, a man who often bergonta-turned-sleepers. Keeping all of that to yourself is the best decision for now.

*********

Nara had fallen asleep a while ago after exchanging stories with Ruby. After performing the dhuhur prayer, Ruby went to the living room to clean the broken glass of the table that was scattered.

He goes back to Nara's childhood life. Almost every day Ruby has to see Nara beaten, and the only one who can free Nara from the blow is only Ruby. By protecting Nara, Ivan will never hurt Nara again.

Ivan was not the head of the family in charge, he had a high position in a large company. But he never divided his salary to the family, even his debt is increasing. Evelyn opens a bakery to support herself and her son.

Marrying Heru was a compulsion from Ivan. For Ivan, it doesn't matter what Nara's happiness is. Most importantly Ivan could enjoy the wealth of his son-in-law. That's why he can now live in Jakarta with a house and a luxury car even though it is still in installments. From the monthly money that Heru sent to Nara, he paid all the installments he took.

Chequek!

The living room door was opened violently by someone, Hiko was seen behind the door.

Ruby immediately lowered her head unwilling to look at Hiko. While Hiko was surprised to see Ruby was cleaning up broken glass. Hiko could already guess if it was Nara's father.

Seeing Ruby who ignored him made Hiko go straight in without saying anything.

Faintly Ruby hears Nara is awake and tells her everything that happened to Hiko.

"I told you right, just divorce the man. Care of the devil you are not considered the same child bokap lo! Why be his son if you only get rich things gini? Same marriage, I'm sure you can be happy you're just like you, Ra!"

Hiko's last sentence made Ruby's hand stop picking up broken glass. A sense that is difficult to explain arises from Ruby's mind.

Who will marry her later? Maybe there are many men like Iqbal out there who want to marry her, but can Ruby regain confidence and feel worthy of being with the man who will marry her.
