The Honorary Owner
46

Ruby wiped her tears just before Genta's car came into her in-laws' yard. She didn't want her in-laws to know she was just crying.

When Ruby entered the house, she saw Maria sleeping on the living room couch. Gently Ruby patted the back of her mother-in-law's hand.

"Ah, Ruby's home?" Maria looked around Ruby, "Where's Hiko?"

"Mas Hiko's gone home, Ma." Ruby replied lying so that her in-laws would not worry.

"You okay? Hiko's not weird, is she?"

"Don't worry, Mama just rest in the room." Said Ruby holding her mother-in-law to her room.

"You're also quick to rest, baby." Maria said.

"Yes, Ma." Ruby helps close the door to Maria's room and returns to her room.

Ruby throws her bag over the couch and goes to the bathroom. He rubbed his lips with anger. He really hates Hiko. Yeah, she hates Hiko a lot. Once again Ruby cried as she remembered all the words that came out of Hiko's mouth.

Ruby opened her veil and took ablution. He had to take a break, not want to waste free time just to remember how Hiko hurt him.

After changing clothes, Ruby immediately lay on the sofa preparing to sleep.

A few moments later, the door opened. The owner of the room came with messy hair. Carefully the man approached Ruby who was asleep on the sofa. In the dark he could see clearly if Ruby was still crying in her sleep.

Hiko goes to pick up her bed cover and returns to Ruby. He carefully lifted Ruby's body and moved her on the bed. He gently rubbed Ruby's forehead and then moved away.

"Don't I tell you I'd kill you if you touched me?"

Ruby's voice made Hiko stop and look back. Ruby was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"Lo's not sleeping?" Ask Hiko.

"So who always moves me to bed?" Ruby ignored Hiko's question.

"Heem." Answer Hiko.

Ruby turned on the nightstand and got out of bed and approached Hiko.

"So they touched me without my permission."

"Gue just can't wait to see you sleep in any place."

The deg!

Hiko's answer surprised Ruby a little, did she really have such concern? Inner Ruby.

Hiko looked at Ruby closely, "Gue is sorry for talking about things that you shouldn't be horrified."

Ruby clenched her mouth, holding back her tears that were about to come out when her memory returned to twist Hiko's sentence a while ago. He looked at Hiko closely, as if to tell her how hurt she was right now.

"Gue knew I shouldn't have mentioned it." Hiko said again.

Ruby nodded, "Mas has already made a very perfect wound in my life." Her tears finally fell as well.

Hiko nodded, she understood the sentence. "Gue knows you'll never forgive me."

Ruby nods repeatedly, reassuring Hiko if she can't forgive Hiko. His hands were busy wiping his tears that were continuously flowing.

I don't know what Hiko was thinking, he pulled Ruby's hand and hugged her. There was no resistance from Ruby, she was only getting louder crying in the arms of the man who always made her hurt.

"Sorry, By." Hiko said even though she already knew the answer, she just wanted to continue apologizing.

Ruby shook her head, she pulled her body away from Hiko. He looked up at Hiko. So with Hiko who also looked into Ruby's eyes. Hiko wiped the tears on Ruby's cheek.

"Gue's just gonna apologize, I'm not gonna apologize to me." Hiko.

"Can't you stop being a disgusting human being. I feel sorry for the woman who will be your wife." Ruby Said.

"Don't interfere in my personal affairs, you have no right to enter into them." Said Hiko.

Ruby shook her head, "But I intend to marry Nara, she's my best friend."

"Trus?"

"Didn't you really love her?"

"Why should I explain my feelings to you?" Hiko asked, no more soft tones coming out of her mouth.

"Mas knows, his only happiness is you. When you touch her, why do you touch other women? You're gonna hurt him."

"He knows who I slept with? He never disputed it. Why are you so complicated?"

Ruby silently looked at Hiko, She really does not understand their relationship. How could Nara go through this senseless relationship? Is Nara really happy with Hiko? Is he just pretending to be happy?

"Gue ingetin, don't interfere in my personal affairs. Unless you're ready to fall in love with me."

Ruby frowned, she shuddered her shoulders at Hiko's words.

"I'm going to make ginger warm, it looks like alcohol has made the brains of the mas not sane."

Ruby darkened the origin of her hair and put on her instant hijab then went out of the room to the kitchen. While Hiko went to the bathroom cleaning the body.

After taking a bath, Hiko found Ruby was sitting on the sofa with a pillow.

"Drink ginger water before going to bed, mas." Ruby pointed at a glass of warm ginger on the bedside nightstand.

Hiko was surprised to see Ruby actually made her warm ginger. Ruby was still being nice after what she did to Ruby.

"I want to make boiled eggs. But sorry, I'm too sleepy to wait for the eggs to mature."

Hiko smiled faintly at the word 'sorry' from Ruby, she sat on the chair and enjoyed a glass of warm ginger made Ruby.

"Where do you know ginger can reduce the influence of alcohol?" Ask Hiko.

"I see it often in Japan." Ruby replied, she closed her mouth because she was yawning.

Hiko smiled, "Sleep in the bed there. I'll sleep there."

Ruby shook her head, "I'll just sleep here." He made a pillow that he had been holding on to.

"Don't get me wrong if I move in there again." Hiko looked at her bed.

"I feel more comfortable and safe here." Reject Ruby.

"Gue won't do anything! The oath!" Hiko held up her index finger and her middle finger fixed the letter V.

"Thanks made me this."

"Yes," replied Ruby then closed her eyes.

Hiko still enjoys warm ginger while trying to understand the nature of the woman in front of him. Some time ago he saw Ruby looked so strong and proud, a moment later he saw her like a weak and helpless woman, and now she became a friendly and caring woman to him.

Hiko smiled, shaking her head. "Freak girl." Mumbled.

***********

This morning Ruby felt very sleepy, she slept not until two hours a night. Her body was all sick and just wanted to sleep. As a result, during the trip from home to the office he used to sleep.

"By! Oh, and nyampe." Hiko said, this time he drove Ruby to the front of the office lobby.

Ruby opened her lazy eyes, then rubbed her eyes. He breathed a long sigh as if complaining because he felt up faster than usual.

"Still sleepy?" Ask Hiko.

"Smuck all my body." Ruby Complaints.

"Oh yeah? I can get a massage! Free!"

"Deeeh..." Ruby tote her bag and then came out, "Assalamualaikum." Then he closed the door.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Hiko smiled at Ruby who looked lazy to enter her office. "So feeling guilty, I." he muttered, then drove his car away from Ruby's office.

Meanwhile Ruby felt her feet heavily stepping. His eyes seemed to want to keep on closing. Indeed, from childhood he always slept regularly, at most nights his eyes were awake only until ten o'clock at night. Last night, he had to stay awake until midnight.

"Hayooo! Very lemes!"

Ruby was surprised to see Irma suddenly embracing him from behind.

"Hi, Ma." Greetings Ruby.

"Sick, By?" Ask Irma.

Ruby shook her head, "It's so sleepy." Her speech.

"Don't sleep last night? Why the same as Hiko?" Irma Temptation.

"Hush! don't think macem-macem!" Ruby Saying. "I'm going to the kitchen first, make coffee."

"Okay, I'm going in first." Irma said to follow Ruby's steps.

"By!"

Hearing her name being called made Ruby look back, it was Heru who had just stepped out of the elevator and walked up to her.

"Yes, sir?"

"Bu Rica tried to contact you but couldn't. You changed the number?"

"Yes, sir. A few days ago I was pickled." Answer Ruby. "What is Miss Rika looking for me?"

Heru took out a business card and gave it to Ruby, "I think she wants something to help you. He's hit with Go Hanae! Maybe you know. Because both are comic."

"Go Hanae's? As far as I know the comic is already going to cooperate with one of the production houses in south korea, sir? What makes an Indonesian?"

"Yes, that's why Bu Rika wants to pull the comic in order to cooperate with her production house."

Ruby thought for a moment, "Let's try to find out through comic friends, sir!" ruby said

"Why, brother? Seriously terribly?"

Suddenly Abriz came and joined in the conversation Heru and Ruby.

"Gue again asked Ruby, know what does not make Go Hanae comic that." Obviously Heru, "Lo will make comics too, you know?"

"Know!" Answer Abriz.

"Really?!" Tanya Heru and Ruby compact.

"Yes! Rich famous comic that's time' don't know sis?" Answer Abriz.

"Maker, Briz. What you mean by the maker!" Heru said furiously.

"Don't know if it's that." Abriz giggles

Ruby just stared lazily at the strange man.

"Lo will have a community as well, ask dong with your friends." pinta Heru.

"Ntar got what?" Ask Abriz

"Fuck Dad!" Answer the original Heru, "OK, By. Don't forget to call Rika's mom, huh?" heru then left Ruby and Abriz.

"Okay, sir." replied Ruby.

Ruby looked at the curious Abriz.

"Would you be wondering about my relationship with Mr. Heru?" Abriz could guess Ruby's mind.

Abriz got a little closer to Ruby, "I actually own this company." she whispered.

"Oooh, yeah. It can be seen clearly." Ruby said, He doesn't want to waste any more time with Abriz.

"Hahaahaha!" Abriz's booming laughter drove Rubby's departure to the office kitchen.
