The Honorary Owner
75

Hiko looked at the crying woman, she approached and rubbed Ruby's back but Ruby brushed her aside. Ruby raised her face, looking at Hiko.

"Can we live by ignoring each other?" Ruby Pinta.

Hiko shook her head, "No! I can't!"

Ruby stood up, her body slightly staggered making Hiko immediately catch her. Ruby let her body for a moment in Hiko's arms to relieve the dizziness on her head and then she pulled away.

"Please don't follow me, Mom." Ruby's door, she stared and pleaded with Hiko deeply.

Hiko just silently watched Ruby walk into her room. He decides to go downstairs and calls Genta, finding out what happened to Ruby.

"Lo find out for yourself, I don't want to interfere in your affairs." Genta then disconnects Hiko's phone.

"B*bgs*t to anyone!" Aspersion.

He thought about what was going on with Ruby, why did she come home in such a condition? He asked Genta to send the phone number of one of Ruby's office friends. Genta gives Irma and Tasya numbers.

"Hallo's? It's Irma?" Hiko chose Irma for questioning.

"Yes, who is it?" From behind the phone.

"Gue Hiko, Ma'am. Ruby's husband."

"Well! Brother Hiko! Akihiko Ibrahim?" There was a cry of excitement there.

"Yes," replied Hiko lazily. "Gue wants to ask, no."

"Yes, Brother. Ask, it must be answered."

"Lo was back with Ruby, wasn't he?"

"Ruby came back early, brother. Not with the others. He said he had an appointment with his friend."

"Who?"

"Don't know. Sis. I didn't ask."

"What's with your team leader?"

"Alone, Brother. Brother Abriz overtime."

"Ooh, okay! Thanks, Ma."

"Yes, Brother. You're welcome."

"Remove my number yes, don't spread it." He said he then hung up the phone.

Hiko found a name. Nara! Did Ruby meet Nara?

**********

Hiko sat in a chair in front of her room, and from that moment she looked at Ruby's room, hoping that the owner of the room was okay inside. The room light that had been extinguished suddenly went out, which meant that Ruby would rush to sleep.

Tok tok tok tok

Hiko approached Ruby's room.

"By! Don't sleep yet." he said, "lo haven't had dinner yet."

There was no answer from Ruby.

Chequek!

Hiko opens Ruby's room without permission. Ruby had already laid her body under the blanket.

"By!" Hiko approaches Ruby.

Ruby pulled the blanket over her head.

"By, stop being rich little boy! Don't make it hard for others!"

No answer from Ruby gets Hiko out of the room. He didn't go, just to the kitchen get Ruby dinner and then come back.

Hiko sat on the edge of Ruby's bed, pulled the blanket that covered her head and forced Ruby to sit down.

"Eat!" he put the plate in Ruby's lap.

"Aren't you listening to me, Mom?" ask Ruby.

Hiko shook his head, "Eat and take your medicine quickly, I'm uncomfortable to see you weak gini. Not so much with the neck."

Ruby stared at Hiko for a bit, then started devouring the food in front of her.

"Why was your shirt wet?" Ask Hiko.

Ruby shakes.

"Lo's seen Nara?" Ask Hiko again.

Ruby did not answer.

"What do you want to hide from me?"

Ruby shook her head, "I'll take this plate to the kitchen. Just go back to the room, Mom."

"Gue will leave after seeing you take the medicine."

trrt trrt trrrt

Hiko's phone swooped out of her pants pocket, she reached out and looked at it. Nara's name appears on the mobile phone screen.

Hiko looked at Ruby who was also looking at her, but Ruby immediately shifted her gaze.

"Let's just say, why look at me?" Ask Ruby.

Hiko has a receive button on her phone. "Yes, Ra?"

"What are you doing?"

"City ..."

"Sstt" Ruby shut Hiko's mouth, gesturing her not to say anything related to her. Then he let go of his hand.

"Hallo, baby! What are you doing anyway?" Nara repeated her question.

"Sorry, wake me up. Why?"

"You're here, you're here. We didn't meet yesterday." Ruby Said.

Again Hiko looked at Ruby who was still busy with her rice. "Gue can't go there, Ra. It's so sleepy, here." Said Hiko.

"You're really sleepy, aren't you?"

"Well, I didn't sleep last night. I couldn't sleep this afternoon either." Hiko replied, "lo why? suddenly suspected gini?" ask Hiko.

"I don't want you to want Ruby any more than I do."

Ruby looked at Hiko, she could clearly hear Nara's sentence.

"Gue's sleepy, baby." Hiko made it clear, "already. We'll meet you at the regular cafe tomorrow. I'm still shooting" said Hiko

"Well, good night, baby." Nara ended her phone call.

"Yes. You too."

Hiko put down her phone and looked at Ruby who looked annoyed looking at her.

"Why did you lie to Nara?" ask Ruby

"Lo don't ngijinin I'm telling the truth that I'm nemenin, lo." replied Hiko.

Ruby let out a long sigh, "she needs you, Mas. Go ..."

"Gue told you that you can't go there. You're sick again, I can't leave you."

Ruby fell silent, "go back to your room, Mas. Thank you for bringing me food."

"Gue temenin you to sleep."

Ruby shook her head slowly, "you told Nara that you were going to sleep, so go to sleep, Mas.

"Gue's just lying, By."

Hiko stared at Ruby. Right what Ruby said, she was like someone who was having an affair. Lying to one woman when she is with another. He's never done this before, even if he's with another woman, he'll keep telling Nara the truth.

"Never call or talk about me when you're with Nara, Mas. He'll get hurt if he hears my name."

"Did you guys fight?"

Ruby shook her head, "No, I'm just guarding her feelings." Ruby Said.

Hiko nodded, "Gue to the room first, if you need anything call me. Don't forget to take the medicine."

Hiko pulled Ruby's nape, wanting to land her kiss on the jet-black-haired woman's forehead but her intentions were clouded when Ruby's hands held her body.

"Don't do that to me again, Mom."

Hiko remained silent for a moment and removed her hand from Ruby's nape, then she stood up leaving Ruby.

Ruby breathed a sigh of relief when the door to her room was closed and she was alone there. He did not finish the rest of his food and immediately took the medicine given by Hiko and then he went to sleep.

**********

Hiko is already sitting sweetly on a sofa in one of his cafe subscriptions. A bluish bruise was still left on some points of his face, but it did not make him lose the confidence to take off his mask and hat. A glass of cold drink was already in his hands, a black straw stuck to his lips to mediate ice coffee to enter his mouth. His eyes were busy staring at the phone screen, shifting boredom while waiting for the arrival of Nara and Genta.

"Hey, Ko!" Someone is pawing at Hiko

Hiko looked up, "Hey. Wil! How are you?" Hiko stood up to greet him with a slight hug, typical of millennial guys.

"Good." Answer the man named William.

"How long don't you look here?" Ask Hiko.

"Gue Kamarin also runs out of here as well as Genta," replied William, "Meet your wife is also here."

Hiko frowned, "My wife?"

William nodded, "His strength is he's out of his neck with his assistant Genta, deh. After meeting me he was soaked, richly drained in his face drink. Genta didn't tell you?"

Hiko shook her head, "Gue hasn't seen him yet, anyway."

William patted Hiko on the back with a smile, "Yaudah, I pull you off first. You go on, greetings to Genta."

"Yes, Wil! Ati-ati!"

Hiko sat back down after the man left with a woman beside him. Now he has found the reason why Ruby's clothes and skirt yesterday was a little wet and stained there.

The sound of roaring steps on each step of the stairs could be heard filling the space on the second floor, Genta appeared there with a big smile ready to greet Hiko. But his intention was scrapped when he saw Hiko's face that looked annoyed.

"Whyaaa!?" Genta asked after sitting on the sofa, right in front of Hiko.

"Then did Nara splash water on Ruby's face?"

A clapper opened his mouth and nodded both hands. "Some!"

Hiko held back her wrath.

"You want to know, just ask directly to the concerned. Ruby or Nara. Don't come to me." said Genta.

"But you talked to Ruby yesterday," said Hiko, "William who talked to me just now."

"It doesn't mean I have the right to tell you everything, does it, Ko?" Genta's face turned serious, staring right at Hiko's eyes.

"What are you two talking about?" Hiko still urges Genta.

Genta stood up leaving Hiko.

"Ta! B*ngs*t!"

Hiko chased after Genta, called him and pulled Genta's shoulder not making Genta stop his steps.

"Yes!"

BRUK!

Hiko kicked Genta on the back and fell in the front yard of the cafe. "Stop, B*ngs*t!!" Shouted Hiko.

Genta looked at Hiko angrily, He stood up but did not reply. "Lo take it a little, Ko! Look around, lo! There's a heart that's hurt by insolvency, lo!"

Angrily Genta leaves Hiko for his car, while Hiko still stands in confusion under the hot sun. "What the hell does that jerk mean?" Mumbled.

Hiko pulled out her phone to call Nara.

"Where is Lo, Ra?" Ask Hiko.

"It's still leaving. Wh why? Are you in the location, baby?" Ask Nara.

"Don't come here, I'll go there." Hiko said, he hung up his phone.

Hiko hurried off the cafe towards Nara's house.

The capital city's traffic jam during lunchtime made Hiko arrive at Nara's house more slowly. Nara is seen in the house waiting for Hiko's arrival.

"You want to go somewhere else, baby?" Greet Nara when Hiko arrives in front of her.

"There's something I want to ask you."

"Oh yeah? About what?" Nara pulls Hiko into the house.

"Why did you flush Ruby at the cafe yesterday?"

Hiko's question made the twinkle on Nara's face disappear, now her face turned irritated. "Ruby told you that?"

"So right?" Guess Hiko, "why are you lakainin?"

"Are you trying to defend him?"

"What's the reason you llasin' it to him?"

Nara was silent for a moment, she looked at Hiko. "How can I not be angry when I find out that my brother and best friend are secretly betraying me."

"Gue never betrayed you, Ra!"

"How many times have you touched it? I already know that you guys kiss a lot. Is that why you don't want to touch me now? Do you like Ruby? You love him!?" said Nara half-screaming venting her anger.

"Lo crazy what do you think I like him!?"

"Where if Ruby likes you!?" ask Nara.

"Don't talk about the impossible" replied Hiko.

"What if it is? are you going to leave me? I feel like you don't love me anymore, Ko." Ask Nara again.

Hiko held onto Ruby's shoulder, "Gue will never leave you, Ra! My love for elo has not diminished one bit." Hiko stared right in Nara's eyes, showing how serious she was.

"Prove it! Are you still the same as my old Hiko."

Hiko frowned.

"Break me! Touch me like you used to, before you married Ruby. Prove if this body is still really you want"

The deg!

Hiko kept silent and did not answer.

Nara saw the doubt in Hiko's eyes. "You don't love me anymore, Ko." Nara is avoiding.

Hiko pulls Nara's body, holds her and takes her to Nara's room.

"I'll prove it all!"
