The Honorary Owner
76

The sun had sunk some time ago, Ruby had just finished performing her magrib prayer in the office mosque. He sat in front of the fence of the front garden of the office, enjoying the orange that attracts the presence of the night. He was not waiting for anyone, just wanted to stay there longer because he was reluctant to go back to Hiko's house.

/Gue won't be coming home tonight. Do not forget to take your medicine./

A message came from an unknown number, he knew who the owner of the number was but there was no intention to keep the number. Ruby didn't give a reply to the message. Shut up and look at the sky.

"By, man,"

Someone called him, he looked back. There's Tasya and Abriz there. They are always overtime since yesterday to pursue the project target that is getting closer to the deadline.

"What meda? How come you haven't come home yet?" Ask Abriz.

"Not picked up?" Ask Tasya.

Ruby shook her head, "just enjoy some more time, Ma'am."

Abriz sat next to Ruby, of course, he put some distance between them.

"Belom are you better with your husband?" guess Abriz.

"What new bride do you often have, By?" tasya Goda. "Want me to come home, By?"

"I'm anther, By." sidelines Abriz.

"What cake? Kinton cloud pack?" tasya Goda.

Ruby also chuckled small.

"Nroup ..." Abriz thought for a moment, "up taxi online can, take the busway can also. In Korean dramas also like that if nganter Cewekny comes home. No need to bring a car."

"Mas mas, you are. Nyicil motor there! How Ruby wants to accept you lha wong your future is not clear." teased Tasya again.

"Ntar if married there is also his own fortune, Sya." replied Abriz, he was singing his lips.

"The spirit can be big, but capital dicedein too, Mas. Inget, your rival already has a big capital." Tasya patted Abriz's back several times.

"Udah, ah. I'll go back, by." Pamit Tasya's.

"Yes, Mother. Careful." said Ruby, he waved his hand to take Tasya away.

"Was not coming home either?" ask Ruby.

Abriz shook his head, "wait for you."

"No need, Mas. It will cause slander."

Ruby's words did not make Abriz then leave, he remained with his position.

"Is it because I'm not richer than you that you ignored my proposal, By?" ask Abriz.

"I've never thought of it that way, Mom." Ruby replied, "i am still the legal wife of my husband, Mas. I can't open my heart to anyone else."

Abriz let out a long sigh, they were silent for a moment.

"Why did you choose to go to Japan? It's not that it's getting your husband and that woman closer." Ask Abriz.

Ruby simply nodded, "Indeed they should be getting closer and I'm the one who's moving away."

Abriz looked at Ruby in astonishment. "What-what"

"I'm going home now, Mom." Ruby cut out Abriz's sentence. He stood up leaving Abriz and was busy with his cell phone.

"Yes, wait there. Let me walk there for a while, rather than turn back later and still get stuck." He heard that he was talking to someone on his phone.

"Good Ojol, By?" Ask Abriz.

Ruby was surprised when she saw that Abriz was still following her. "Yes, Mum." Answer while continuing to move. "The driver's waiting across the street there."

"Why not wait here anyway?" Ask Abriz.

"Later it will be, Mom. Rich jacet's that."Ruby pointed to the traffic jam in front of her office.

Ruby stepped hastily across the pile of vehicles enjoying the traffic jam. His pace slowed when he saw a white sedan car with two people he knew very well inside.

Hiko and Nara were laughing in the car. Ruby should be happy to see them make up, but there is a sense that makes his heart uncomfortable.

BRUK!!

"Ouch!!"

Ruby tripped on the front tire of one of the motorcycles, drawing the attention of several people including Hiko and Nara.

"By, is it okay?" Abriz asked worriedly, he stretched out his hand but only a touch of wind greeted him as Ruby tried to stand on her own.

"I'm sorry, Mom." Ruby said to the man who owns the vehicle.

"What's wrong, brother" he answered.

Ruby stepped back with a little pain in her knee. He took the opportunity to steal a glance into Hiko's car which was not far from him, unexpectedly Hiko and Ruby's eyes met. Ruby quickly threw away her face and half ran across the street.

"You're really okay, By? Is there a wound?" Ask Abriz when Ruby will ride on the motorcycle Ojek online.

Ruby shook her head, "No, Mas." He said, "I'll go home first, Mom. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Ma'alaikumsalam ..."

***********

Ruby had just finished her dinner and washed all the cutlery. His eyes had not been drowned as his body had already improved today. He went to his room, took his tablet and stylus and took him to the living room.

Ruby turns on the tv, choosing a random tv station to eliminate the deserted atmosphere in Hiko's house. After feeling comfortable enough, Ruby opened her comic files and worked on her pending comic.

It began to feel on his hands and knees as a result of the introduction between Ruby's skin and the asphalt of the capital's streets. Although quite disturbing still he ignored because only a minor scratch.

Long Ruby entered in the world of his imagination, focus on working on comics until quite finished a few pages. He raised his head because he already felt his neck that was starting to feel tired.

"Alhamdullillah ..." He pulled his hands up to stretch his muscles.

The clock on the wall was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Ruby turned off the tv that had seen her, and turned off the lights of the basement. Not to forget he locked the door to the living room of Hiko's house.

His hand steps came to a halt when he wanted to lock the door of the living room. As if someone was holding the door from the outside and when he opened it turned out Hiko was standing outside the door.

There was no greeting from the two, just staring at each other in silence. For a while they were glued to the same place, until finally Ruby chose to go first.

"Where are you?" hiko asked, he stepped in following Ruby.

"I'm doing fine. Mas don't have to worry about me." replied Ruby without turning her body.

Hiko pulled Ruby's hand and held her back, Ruby quickly brushed Hiko's hand away. "Don't touch me!" he said softly but very sharply heard in Hiko's ears.

Hiko grabbed back Ruby's hand, looking at both of her palms. Slightly red there then he pulled Ruby to sit on the living room sofa.he sat crouching right in front of both knees Ruby then revealed the bottom of the Ruby dress skirt.

THE PLAQUE!

A slap from Ruby's hand landed on Hiko's cheek, giving a reddish mark there. Hiko looked at Ruby angrily, as well as Ruby.

"How dare you open my skirt without my permission, Mas?" Ask Ruby.

"Gue doesn't need permission to touch my own wife." Said Hiko.

"I'm not your real wife, don't treat me as well as you do." Ruby stands.

Hiko stood up and blocked Ruby's steps that were about to leave. He reached into his pants pocket and took out two pieces of plaster with a cartoon character there.

"Gue just wanted to see what your leg hurt." Hiko said, he grabbed Ruby's hand and placed the plaster he carried over Ruby's palm.

Ruby looked at Hiko.

The sound of the vibration of Hiko's phone in her pocket, she picked it up and lifted it up.

"Yes, honey. Still made with mamang nasgornya. Wait yeah?"

A sentence that was enough to surprise Ruby.

"Gue go back to Nara's house first." Hiko let go of Ruby's hand and left the living room.

"Why do you have to lie and come all the way here, Mom?"

Ruby's question makes Hiko's step stop right before she opens the living room door. Hiko turned around and looked at Ruby.

"Take care of yourself, maybe for some time I won't come home here." Said Hiko.

Ruby was silent and looked at Hiko.

"Gue will stay with Nara for some time." Hiko clarified.

Ruby was silent.

Hiko sighed then left the living room. Ruby only responded to Hiko's departure from behind the window. Although it was hard to see the man go, but he felt it would be better if while away with Hiko.

**********

In the morning Ruby gets a message from Rika, if she has good news from Yuwen. Yuwen accepts the offer of cooperation with Rika's Star House. Rika asks Ruby to come to her office to discuss the upcoming drama series The King.

Returning from the office, Ruby goes to the Star House office to meet Rika. There he also met Genta, the man was sitting in the waiting room in front of Rika's room, busy playing games on his phone.

"Mas Genta." Greetings Ruby.

dagenta raised his head, "hey, By! Here too?"

"Yes, Mum." Ruby looked around, "alone, Mas?" ask Ruby.

Genta nodded, "Hiko and Nara are still at the shooting location, chances are he will be overtime a lot now. The King has a few more episodes left."

"Yes, Mum."

"Mak Ruby, Mas Genta. Please come in, I've been waiting for Rika." Said one of Rika's secretaries.

Ruby and Genta entered Rika's room. There was a formally dressed man already sitting filling one of the sofas. Is that Yuwen? Ruby asked in her heart.

"Please sit down." Rican Speech.

Ruby and Genta sat on separate couches.

"This is great, secretary and attorney of law from Yuwen."

"Hello, I'm good." Say hello to that guy is friendly.

"I'm Genta."

"I'm Ruby."

Genta and Ruby turn themselves in turn.

"Genta's Manager Hiko, and Ruby's the owner of The King's comic." Rika makes clear the work of Genta and Ruby.

Nicely smiled at Ruby, "Me and Yuwen are fans of your comics." Good to show the screen of the phone, the wallpaper on the screen is a cover of The King comic owned by Ruby.

"Thank you, my abilities are nothing compared to Yuwen." Ruby humbled herself.

"Don't talk like that, you're just as strong in character. Maybe that's why a lot of companies are glancing at your talent." Tukas Bagas's.

Ruby just smiled.

"Please Miss Rika, can convey the results of our conversation earlier" said Good.

Rika nodded then looked at Ruby and Genta.

"So gini, Yuwen is willing if Go Hanae is made into a drama series by Star House. But she asks Hiko to return to the lead role in Go Hanae, and she asks Ruby to help her design costumes for the cast."

Ruby and Genta looked at each other.

"Yuwen really admired Hiko's acting very natural, plus he had a badboy look in accordance with the main character Go Hanae. Haha." Candaan Bagus got a flat response from Genta.

"Sorry, but we really admire Hiko. I hope he accepts the role. Moreover, he also mastered martial arts very well, it fits perfectly." Persuade Bagas.

Genta nodded, "He is indeed multitalented."

Bagas nodded his head, agreeing with Genta's opinion. Then he looked at Ruby, "we also hope that Ruby can help us."

"But in each character there are already their own costumes?" Ask Ruby.

"He wanted to modify it without changing its main design" replied Good.

Ruby nodded, "I'm not an expert, but I also want to work together and get knowledge from Yuwen." Ruby said spirit.

"OK, Sip!" Good to keep her thumb shut, "Hiko how?" ask him to Genta.

"I'll talk to him after I get the script from Rika's mom."

"OK, fine! hopefully we can all work together" said Good.

"Why didn't Yuwen come?" Ask Genta.

"He's in Jakarta, it just so happens that today he's meeting with a representative from an animation studio from Japan." Good Answer.

"He's seriously accepting a contract with Sunrise Animation?" ask Ruby.

Good nodding, "thanks to you too she's willing to accept the offer."

Ruby smiled happily.

Their conversation continued not too long ago. It was good to go first after he made sure everything went as Yuwen wished. Genta and Ruby spoke first in the Star House lobby waiting room.

"You're really going to Japan, By?" ask Genta.

Ruby nodded, "Yes, Mas. I'm serious about it."

"You're leaving Hiko, By?" ask Genta again.

Ruby shook her head, "it wasn't me who left her, Mas. But he left me."
