Malioboro Street became the destination of Ruby and Hiko to spend the rest of Ruby time in Jogja. The crowd makes Hiko forced to wear a mask, he does not want if his vacation is disrupted because of his fans.

The hot sun does not make Ruby lazy to step up, he can enjoy the atmosphere of Malioboro during the day rather than at night with Tasya. Hiko walked behind Ruby, busy taking pictures of the camera in her hand. The object this time was a woman wearing a white robe, a denim jacket and a light blue veil.

"Ouch!" Ruby complained when a man accidentally hit her shoulder.

Ruby stared at the protest and waited for the man's apology. Some friends behind him laughed seductively.

"Sorry, Ma'am. Not intentionally." Said the man.

Ruby nodded.

"Can contacts?" Ask the man before Ruby continues her steps.

Ruby's face turned cynical, "Ma ..."

"Do you want to contact someone's wife?" Hiko approaches Ruby, cursing at some of the men who are teasing Ruby.

"Oooh, married life ..." Said the man, then they left Hiko and Ruby.

Hiko looked at Ruby, "Take it not far." Her speech. Hiko grabbed Ruby's hand and held her.

Ruby just stared at Hiko's hand and started to step in Hiko's footsteps.

"Lo's not tired? Kan't fasting?" Ask Hiko.

Ruby shook her head, "How is it? Is it sick again?"

"Udah good, really." Answer Hiko. "Sit down, yuk."

Hiko pulled Ruby, sitting on a park bench lined up neatly along the sidewalk of Malioboro street. He chose to sit under the Angsana tree that is blooming in this rainy season, not only giving shade but also spoiling the eyes of the audience.

"Mas, Fotoin donk." Ruby gave her phone to Hiko.

"Pay ya? My hands are expensive." Hiko took Ruby's phone, opened the camera feature there and prepared to take a picture of Ruby.

Ruby style instagramable style under the Angsana tree, no need to be confused or prettied, silent style with eyes closed as if enjoying the blowing of the wind that makes some flowers fall already makes it look charming.

Hiko did not waste the opportunity, he also took a photo of Ruby through his camera.

"Udah?" Ruby asked when she opened her eyes. He sees Hiko taking his picture instead of his cell phone. "And I told you to use my phone, Mas?" Ruby Protest.

"Udah was once, after all a crappy hape camera. Not my level." Hiko gives Ruby's phone and opens the mask that partially covers her face.

Ruby sat down and looked at Hiko's shot. Good also the result, Inner Ruby.

"Sugly photos of the cake do you want to upload on Instagram?" Hiko asked while peeking at Ruby's phone screen.

"Belvin. Saucy!" Ruby replied, he looked up to think of the right caption.

"Now, good new." Hiko showed the shots in his camera.

Ruby glanced at Hiko's camera screen, "MasyaAllah, am I really beautiful Mas there?"

"Huh!?" Hiko was surprised by Ruby's words.

"Ntar I asked for the file, huh, Mas?" Pinta Ruby then again busy typing on the screen of his phone.

Hiko looked at Ruby still amazed by the nature of Ruby that he could not guess. "It turns out the real lo gini, huh?" Said Hiko.

"Why?" Ruby asked without taking her eyes off the phone screen.

Hiko just looked at Ruby with a smile, she remembered the photo of the girl in the gray white uniform on Ruby's desk. Yes, the woman in front of him was actually a cheerful person, just because Ruby's mistake became what it is today.

Ruby looked at Hiko as she did not immediately get an answer to her question.

"here." Hiko took Ruby's phone, he installed an app to edit photos there. "Gue teach you how to edit photos well."

Hiko drew closer to Ruby, both of them staring at the phone screen. Ruby focused on listening to Hiko's narration which gave her some basic knowledge of photography.

"Cool, right? Not alay?" Said Hiko.

Ruby nodded happily.

Hiko smiled at Ruby's behavior. Hiko also asked about animation on Ruby. They spend time exchanging knowledge and experience. Hiko teaches Ruby how to take good pictures, and Ruby takes out her tablet and styluspen to teach Hiko how to draw and color.

Ashar's Adhan stopped their conversation. Ruby still did not think that since he was chatting with Hiko and it turns out that he is an open-minded man also if talking serious things, he is not as thick as he had in mind.

"Want to go back to the hotel?" Ask Hiko.

Ruby shook her head. "I want to pray in the mosque, Mas. Want to find food to break the fast later." He stuffed his phone, tablet and styluspen into a bag.

"Turn back to the hotel, rest. I haven't had lunch yet, have I?" Ruby Said.

Hiko chuckled small, "very careful with me?"

"Isn't this how a wife treats her husband?" ask Ruby.

"Ah, yes. I almost forgot our agreement yesterday."

"You keep your promise and I keep mine." Ruby

"Yes yes!" Hiko gave Ruby the camera, "titip!"

"Mas, don't you go back to the hotel?" Ruby asked, he took Hiko's camera and put it in a bag.

Hiko stood up and put the mask back on, "Gue's coming, lo."

Ruby nodded and stood in her bag, her hand immediately in Hiko's hand and they went to look for the nearest mosque.

At a mosque, Hiko asks for Ruby's bag. "Gue bring a bag, lo." Said Hiko.

"Well, don't you pray here?" Ask Ruby.

Hiko did not answer, he chose to sit in the mosque. Ruby gives her bag and leaves Hiko inside the mosque.

Not half an hour Ruby had approached Hiko who was busy seeing the results of her shots.

"Will you eat first?" Ask Ruby.

Hiko nodded, "Where else are you going? Don't want to buy souvenirs for families in Jakarta?"

"I'm confused to buy Papa with Mama what, Mas." Ruby said, she was sitting not far from Hiko.

"Do not buy anything for them, they are not in Jakarta. What matters is your family."

"So for Abi, Ummi, and the Paklek family I bought." Answer Ruby.

"Well, go for a walk." Hiko turned off the camera and put it in Ruby's bag.

Hiko and Ruby stood up and out of the courtyard of the mosque, their way leading to the north square and the Yogjakarta Palace. They spend the afternoon walking there. Hiko found a place to hunt for photos, repeatedly he made Ruby as his photo object.

Ruby feels no longer awkward with Hiko, or maybe more precisely comfortable. Well, one of the advantages of Hiko does make women comfortable with him. Now he does not need to hide anymore to take pictures of Ruby, because it turns out Ruby is very happy to pose in front of the camera.

"I really like this one, Mom." Ruby said when she saw the photos with Hiko.

"Yes, the background is good."

"Enaaak! Pay it!" Hiko Goda.

"Dih, how stingy to be a person. I'll die taking care of everything myself." Ruby's face reappears.

"Hahahaha, it's a lick." Tempted Hiko, "nih, take it all. Lots of photos of sexy girls too!"

"What do I do I take photos of sexy girls? You think I'm a freak?"

Hiko was still chuckling and then silently heard the qiroah sound from the surrounding mosque. The sun is almost sinking, the orange sky is preparing to attract the presence of the night.

"What time is the plane?" Ask Hiko then.

Ruby took her eyes off Hiko's camera screen. "Nearly magrib? Alhamdullillah ..."

Ruby stuffed Hiko's camera into her bag, she looked at Hiko who was looking at her with a gaze that.

"Jam Eight over twenty minutes, Mas." Ruby answered Hiko's question.

"Yaudah, I'm anter ntar."

Ruby shook her head, "There's a hotel party that cantank me, Mas."

"But I want to nganter lo!"

Ruby shook her head, "No, Mas." Ruby looked at Hiko full of threats.

Hiko relented and stood up from her seat, "What do you want to eat to open?" Ask Hiko.

"Anything is on the side of the road." Ruby Said.

Hiko nodded, "Do you want to pray first?" Ask Hiko.

Ruby nodded, "Yes."

Hiko and Ruby went back to look for the mosque, not forgetting Hiko bought a drink for Ruby to cancel her fast when the magrib adhan reverberated later.

Ruby immediately canceled her fast when adzan magrib reverberated. He also rushed to perform magrib prayer, after praying then he and Hiko went to find a restaurant around there to break their fast.

*********

Hiko was watching Ruby pry her things on the sofa into a carry-on bag. After a day Hiko passed the day with Ruby increasingly makes Hiko heavy to let go of Ruby's departure.

"Later Genta who picked you up at the airport." Said Hiko.

"Mas Genta himself?" Ask Ruby.

"That's it."

Ruby was doubtful.

"Lake it easy, he's good. If he dares to touch you, I'll kill him." Hiko convinced Ruby.

Ruby sat on the sofa and looked at Hiko. "What time is it back tomorrow?" Ask Ruby.

"Malem too." Answer Hiko.

Ruby nodded, standing up in her bag. "Jaket mas I put it here." He put Hiko's jacket he borrowed last night on the bed.

Ruby picked up her tote bag and approached Hiko, "I'll go home first, Mas." Ruby grabs Hiko's hand and kisses her.

Hiko holds Ruby's hand when Ruby wants to let go of Hiko's. He looked at Ruby, heavily letting the Wanit go.

"This time I have to go home, Mom." Ruby said, she knew the meaning of Hiko's gaze.

trrrt trrrt trrrt

There was a vibration from Ruby's phone in her pocket.

"Coral, Assalamu'alaikum ... Ah, yes. I'll be down in a minute. Thanks."

Ruby looked at Hiko, "They're waiting for me, Mas." Ruby Said.

Hiko let go of Ruby's hand.

"Enjoy the rest of your vacation huh, Mas." Ruby said, "assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Answer Hiko.

Ruby smiled and stepped away from Hiko.

"By!" Hiko runs into Ruby just before Ruby opens Hiko's room door.

"Yes?"

"Live another day here, please!"

Ruby chuckled, "Can't, Mas. Abi and Ummi return tomorrow to Malang, besides I can not leave my work too. Not good for the others." Said Ruby.

Ruby nodded at Hiko's cheek and smiled, "I'm home. Mas."

Hiko held Ruby's hand on her cheek and then kissed her. Making a subtle sigh in Ruby's body that was enough to make her speechless. Hiko hugs Ruby, trying to fill her strength to let Ruby go.

Ruby patted and gently rubbed Hiko's back. "It seems I've been too soft on you, Mas. Until you hug me." Sindir Ruby.

"Just a minute."

Ruby lets the man hold her, until Hiko finally releases Ruby's body. "Gue take it down." Said Hiko.

Ruby nodded.

Hiko takes over Ruby's tote bag and leaves the room. Hiko holding Ruby's hand did not let it slip, driving Ruby to the front of the car that will take Ruby to the airport.

"Be careful, Yes." Said Hiko

Ruby nodded, she looked at Hiko's hand that was still bothering her. "Yes removable, Mas."

Heavy, but eventually Hiko releases Ruby's hand.

"If you want to hold this hand, never hold the hand of another woman." Ruby Said.

Hiko just smiled wryly.

"Acasino'aikum ..." Say Ruby, then get in the car.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, greeting Abi and Ummi. Say sorry I can't get them home."

Ruby nodded then closed the car door.

Slowly the car leaves the hotel courtyard, Hiko still stands there looking at the shadow of the car that took Ruby away.
