The Honorary Owner
41

Asphalt roads began to enjoy massages from the wheels of vehicles that began to be busy delivering their owners who have many purposes. The noise from the motor or car horn of selfish humans further spur the emotions of other road users. The pile of vehicles at certain points makes a long traffic jam. This is the morning capital.

After being patient in traffic, Hiko's car stopped right in front of the lobby door of Inwork Studio building. After greeting Hiko, Ruby got out of the car and went into the lobby.

Ruby went straight into the elevator to get to her room. There are other employees in there.

"Ruby, congratulations..."

He received congratulations and do'a from the people in the elevator. He just smiled and said 'thank you' that he really didn't want to say. Because this is not the marriage he wanted.

Similarly, when he entered his room, his teammates welcomed more festively. One by one they gave congratulations and prayers, as well as complaints why not tell his friends if he was getting married.

"Hey hey hey!" The clap of someone's hand distracts from a man who has just entered.

"Morning, Paaaak." Greet all employees see their boss is already standing at the door. Their eyes were centered on the man who was standing beside Heru.

Ruby was surprised to find the man who bullied her yesterday still met at her workplace.

"Guys, this is Abrizam. He will replace Aris as team leader" said Heru.

"Hi, just call me Abriz." He said, spreading a smile to all his new comrades.

Abriz's gaze stopped when he saw Ruby standing among some women. His smile seemed wider, he wanted to say hello but Ruby had already thrown her face first.

"Where is Aris, Ma?" Ruby whispers to Irma next to her.

"She continued S2 in jogja." Answer Irma.

Ruby nodded and stared lazily at Abriz who was still looking at her with a smile.

"okay! Hope you stay here, yeah. This team is the best!" Heru patted Abriz's back.

"Thanks yes, brother." Said Abriz, the name 'sister' for Heru makes others wonder about the status of their relationship.

"Gue stay first huh, Guys!"

"Yes, sir."

Heru left the animator room, all returning to their respective desks to do their work. While Aris the team leader approached Abriz and invited him to his work desk which would have switched hands to the table Abriz.

Abriz who had heard Aris's explanation still stole a glance at Ruby's desk not far ahead. Ruby changed the screen to limit Abriz's view of her.

"Mas Abriz is handsome, By."

Ruby was surprised by Irma's sudden presence.

"It's a habit." Answer Ruby.

"That's why she has such a handsome husband she replied to that cake." Irma cooed the back of Ruby's hand holding the mouse.

"It's ordinary, really."

Irma just rolled her eyeballs, she understood that Ruby was difficult if invited to praise men. "This is yesterday's file, just a gradation." Irma gives a flasdisk to Ruby.

Ruby looked at Irma and struggled spoiled in Irma's arms. "Thank you, Maaaa."

"Pay me use your story with Hiko."

Ruby's smile instantly disappeared, "Nobody should be told about her, Ma."

"Don't want to know, just have to tell me later." Irma leaves Ruby and returns to her desk.

Ruby just breathed.

trrtr.

The sound of vibration from Ruby's phone, he opened a whatsapp message from Nara.

/Later yuk road, By./

Ruby thought for a moment, remembering what she was going to do tonight.

/Sorry, Ra. But after work I have to go to the Chinese house to make clothes./

/Yeah! Okay, I'll walk alone./

/Sorry, Ra./

/It's okay, By./

Ruby put down her phone and continued her work.

**********

Hiko had just arrived at the shooting location, a group of media crew immediately stormed when he just got out of the car. The question came over the news of her marriage to Ruby.

Genta comes with some crew and instantly makes his way for Hiko to get into the shooting spot immediately. Hiko's move stops before she enters the shooting scene and turns around intending to answer reporters' questions.

"Please clarification dong, Brother Hiko."

Hiko gave her friendly smile, "It can't be long because I want to shoot too."

"Okee"

"The photo circulating on social media is indeed true. Yesterday the day after tomorrow I officially proposed the daughter of kyai Abdullah, one of the kyai owners of pesantren in the city of Malang." Hiko.

"Is there a reception in Jakarta, sister?"

"Yes, the plan is indeed in the near future. But I apologize if the media friends can't come in. Because indeed I want to respect the privacy of my wife and in-laws who do not really like being highlighted by the media. So please understand, yes."

Genta had already tugged at the black bomber jacket that Hiko was wearing.

"I go in first, yeah. Thanks guys." Hiko went with Genta.

Hiko and Genta feel the treatment of the film crew is different than before. They return to care and are friendly to Hiko.

"No!"

A man approached Hiko and extended his hand. He is Johan, the leader of the film crew starring Hiko.

"Gue represents the crew's children to apologize to, Lo. We've all misunderstood the issue of your affair and your assistant manager." Johan.

"Yes, me and the other guys are sorry."

"Break, bro!" Answer Hiko.

"Okay, you get ready right away." Johan pats Hiko on the shoulder and leaves her.

Hiko's friendly face immediately turned cold after Johan's death. She continued her steps towards the make up room.

"There's also good luck with your wedding photos." Genta Whispers.

"Nara, where?" Ask Hiko and ignore Genta's talk.

Genta glanced cynically at Hiko ignoring him, "To the court."

"Well?"

"His divorce deal was with her ex-husband." Answer Genta cynically.

"They were divorced too!" Hiko said happily. "With gini I am free to do."

Genta glanced cynically again, "Hasn't he been free all this time why is he?"

Genta pulls Hiko's hand, "Inget, Ko! You've become Ruby's husband, a kyai's ghost. Watch your behavior!" Genta Threatens.

"Whisper!" Hiko left Genta.

Genta stroked his chest, "Did I expect too much at your wedding and Ruby anyway, Ko?"

********

Ruby was still tidying up her desk while waiting for her computer screen to turn off. His hands were busy sorting out the paper that was still used and not while occasionally replying to the greetings of his friends who went home.

"Eventually have time to talk to you."

Ruby didn't want to see the man standing behind her computer screen. He could already guess who the man who was trying to get him to talk was.

"I didn't know we were going to be office friends. We can get to know each other faster."

"No one said it." Ruby said, "and so, I'm married. You can hear it from friends, right?"

"I didn't hear it."

Ruby looked at Abriz in annoyance. He put back the papers he had arranged, then took his bag.

"Sasya's mother, Irma. I'm going home first, yeah." Ruby Pamit.

"okay!"

"Be careful, By."

Tasya and Irma took turns.

Ruby rushed out, greeted her teammates who were still at her desk and left the room.

Abriz followed Ruby into the elevator.

Some people there are enough to keep Abriz quiet not to tease Ruby. He looked at the digital number above the elevator door that showed how many floors the elevator was on.

The trying!

The elevator door opens on the first floor.

Ruby half ran away from Abriz, but Abriz did not give up. He continued walking quickly after Ruby who had passed the lobby door.

Bruk!

Ruby almost fell when she hit someone. The fragrance of the perfume instantly made Ruby take a step back and look at the person she had hit.

"Mas Hiko? What's here?" Ask Ruby.

"Well, why are you still running?" Hiko looked at Ruby in astonishment.

Ruby looked at the man behind her, making Hiko also look at the man behind his wife.

"Who are you?" Hiko asked unfriendly.

"Lo who?" Abriz asked back in an unfriendly tone as well.

"He's my husband!"

Ruby's sentence made Abriz stupefied. "So, are you really married?"

"Lo likes my wife?" Ask Hiko lightly.

Hiko pulled Ruby's shoulder and grabbed her. This time Ruby could not resist even though she really wanted to keep herself away from Hiko.

"Lo's late, he's mine." Hiko.

Ruby could see the man in front of her being disappointed, she immediately turned her face away when Abriz looked at her.

"I guess we're fooled."
