The Honorary Owner
77

Hiko had been living with Nara for a month, she only came home occasionally to pick up clothes, even when Ruby was not home. During that time they did not meet, did not look for each other and did not tell each other. Hiko is busy with shooting drama series The King as well as some of his feature films, while Ruby is busy with animated film deadlines in her office, taking care of the terms of her departure to Japan and the frequent meetings between her, Nice and Rika also discussed Yuwen's Go Hanae series.

Today was the day of The King's final shoot, the entire crew and cast held a dinner together at one of the restaurants. Ruby gets an invitation from Rika to attend dinner, but she refuses, of course one of the reasons is because of Hiko. He does not want to appear in public with Hiko, of course he and Hiko must pretend like a harmonious husband and wife while Ruby can not do it.

"Why? Waiting for someone?" Genta asked who had seen Hiko who had not stopped looking at the entrance.

"Wait for who?" Hiko asked back, he sipped a drink in his hand.

Genta sat beside Hiko, "Udah you read the script?"

"Udah, take it. Than I don't have a job, this other film is also runnin' right?" Answer Hiko.

"It's action, Ko! You're gonna spend a lot of energy on this drama." Genta.

"Try the new mood."

"Deal, huh?"

"Yeah!" Hiko was upset.

Genta stood up, he approached Rika and told her that Hiko had agreed and wanted to be the lead actor in the drama series Go Hanae.

On the other hand, Nara ran over to Hiko in a panic. Hiko immediately stood up and approached Nara.

"Why, Ra?" Ask Hiko.

"Ko, I have to get to Malang." Nara answered with a broken breath.

"Well?" Ask Hiko.

"My mom's in the hospital, Ko." Answer Nara.

"Gue come, lo!" Said Hiko.

"Hey hey hey! where are you going!?"

Genta's shout stopped Hiko and Nara's steps.

"You want Keman, Lo?" Ask Genta to Hiko.

"Gue wants to come with Nara to Malang, Nyokapnya go to the hospital." Answer Hiko. "Come, Ra."

Genta pulls Hiko's arm. "Lo think your work here is already done? play stay-at-luck!"

"Yes!"

"Lo takut me? Or I'm staying in lo!" genta menacam

"Ta! Nara is sick again!"

Genta pulled Hiko out of the crowd. "Lo is not aware in Malang there are also in-laws lo? Think, Ko! I've been sent to Ruby for weeks, but this time no, Ko! You could be ruined if you see your in-laws!"

Hiko is silent, it justifies the word Genta. He looked back at Nara who was waiting for his decision.

"Sorry, Ra. I can't go with you." Hiko.

Nara looks disappointed by Hiko's decision, he leaves Hiko and Genta just like that. Hiko wants to chase after Nara, but Genta holds her back. Awaken Hiko if this isn't a place that can make her behave as she pleases. Many people and journalists are ready to tell what they are doing.

Hiko complies with Genta's wishes, allowing Nara to return home. He and Genta continued the dinner until it was over.

After dinner, he went straight to Nara's house. Persuading the woman not to sulk and understand her situation.

Nara just kept quiet listening to Hiko's explanation. Now he has an overprotective nature to Hiko, is more jealous and often suspicious of Hiko.

"Gue anterlo later to the airport." Persuade Hiko for the last time.

"You promised you wouldn't mess with Ruby, right?"

Hiko nodded then hugged Nara, "I'm sorry yes, can't nengokin nyokap, lo."

Nara nodded, "I'll be right back."

Hiko nodded.

**********

Today, Hiko and Genta come to Star House to sign a contract with several other actors.

Rika also specifically invited all new cast members Go Hanae to attend the closing party of making The King drama series in Bali.

The news was also heard in Ruby's ear, Rika specifically called him so that Ruby could come and not refuse to attend. There have been various reasons Ruby did to reject Rika's request, but Rika still forced. In fact, he asked Heru for special permission so that he gave leave to Ruby.

"Udah, By. You go, By. Miss Rika maksa keep to me."

That's what Heru said when he called Ruby this afternoon before Ruby came home. And finally Ruby accepted Rika's request to go to Bali.

Ruby arrives home startled by Hiko's car parked in the carport, which means she won't be out again. There was a sense of reluctance for him to enter the house. All this time he had been able to organize his heart, and now he had to meet a man who at any time could make his feelings fall awake.

"Non Ruby's home?" ask Inah who just left the house. He was ready to go home.

Ruby smiled, "Mas Hiko at home, Bi?" ask Ruby.

Inah nodded, "already from noon this Den Hiko at home, Non. Just in the room, I'm ready lunch is not eaten either."

Ruby nodded, "Yes, Bi. Let me take care of it." Ruby Said.

"I say yes, Non. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, thank you, Bi."

Inah smiled and then left Hiko's house. While Ruby inevitably had to go inside.

"Assalamu'alaikum .." he said when he entered the house, there was no answer because the owner of the house was on the second floor.

Ruby steps up the stairs, and there she meets the person she wants to avoid. Hiko, he's also coming down the stairs. Ruby noticed the stark difference in the man, Hiko looked thinner than the last they met.

"How are you?" Sapa Hiko when they meet right in the middle of the stairs.

"Alhamdullillah, fine. Mas how?" Ruby asked, not daring to look at Hiko.

"Good." The answer.

It was as short as their initial conversation after some time was not face to face. Hiko went downstairs and Ruby continued to step towards her room.

Both are busy with their own activities until the dining table becomes where they meet face to face. Hiko sat there first when Ruby came, making Ruby turn her body around.

"Lo eat, I can eat later."

"We'll just eat together, Mom." Ruby Said.

Hiko kept quiet and returned to her seat again, Ruby also approached Hiko. He took the rice and side dishes for Hiko then took them for himself.

They began to devour his food in silence and clang arising from the meeting of spoons with plates became the only sound at the table.

"Lo's coming to Bali?" tanya Hiko breaks up the deserted.

Ruby nodded.

"How many days off from work?" ask Hiko again.

"I'm on a week off, Mom. Because I have a lot to take care of." Answer Ruby.

Hiko kept quiet again.

"Mas looks thin." Ruby's turn now asked.

"Oh yeah? I don't think there's anything different." Hiko looked at her body.

Ruby looked at the man who was eating in front of her.

"Why?" ask Hiko.

Ruby quickly looked at the plate back.

"We're leaving tomorrow." Said Hiko.

Ruby shook her head, "I can go alone, Mas. I don't want to see Nara misunderstand again."

"Nara's not coming, she's going to Malang. Get in the hospital." Said Hiko.

"Astaqfirullah, Mama's sick? What pain? How's it going, Mas?"

Hiko put down her fork spoon and looked at Ruby, "Lo isn't angry with Nara after what she did to you?"

Ruby frowned, looking at Hiko in confusion. "I mean, Mas?"

"Nara was already nyiram lo at the cafe at that time, right?"

Ruby was surprised, "Did Mas Genta tell you, Mas?" Ruby asked, "Did she tell you something?"

Now Hiko scrunched her forehead. "What are you talking about behind my back?"

Ruby was grateful that Genta had said nothing to Hiko. "We're not talking about you. It has nothing to do with you."

Hiko was still staring at Ruby suspiciously.

"Don't talk about this, it's been a long time." Ruby Pinta.

"Trus what should I discuss with you?"

Ruby shook her head, "nothing."

Ruby finished her last mouthful and finished the rest of the water in her glass.

Hiko stood up, took Ruby's plate and glass and took her to the dishwasher. "Gue was washing the dishes."

"Don't, Mas. Let me just!" prevent Ruby.

"Lo clean up the dining table!"

"It's a woman's job, Mas." Ruby tries to take the plate from Hiko's hand.

"Lo want to make this plate break?" hiko asked, "somehow no one said guys can't do ginian's work." Hiko's firm.

Ruby took her hand off the plate that Hiko was carrying.

"Smart kid." Hiko rubbed Ruby's head that instant hijab.

Ruby just glanced cynically and released Hiko's hand from her head.

"Here's the table over there!"

Ruby nodded, she went to clean the dining table and the rest of the side dishes there and gave the dirty dishes from the side dishes to Hiko.

After washing the dishes, Hiko turned on the TV and sat on the sofa in front of the TV, he was busy with his phone instead of even looking at the TV.

"It's not coming out anymore, is it?" ask Ruby.

"No," Hiko replied without distracting her from the phone screen.

Ruby went ahead, locked the fence and the living room door and closed the curtains in the living room. But he felt troubled when there was a curtain hook stuck. He tried to jump and pull the hook apart but did not come off. The living room sofa is too heavy if it is sliding to be used as a foothold.

Ruby was still trying, and she finally gave up. Looks like he had to ask Hiko for help to remove the hooks that were stuck on the curtain pole.

Just when he looked back, it turned out that Hiko was already standing there and straight fixed the curtain hook. Ruby felt squeezed between the window and Hiko's body.

"You can't say it, ask for help." Hiko said after fixing the curtains, He looked down at Ruby.

Hiko rested one hand on the wall, locking Ruby in the wall, window and body. Ruby looks nervous over there.

"I haven't seen this nervous face in a long time." Said Hiko

"Who's nervous?" sergeant Ruby.

Hiko brought her face closer to Ruby, "Don't do it!" Ruby turned her face away, "I don't want to be a stupid woman in front of you, Mas. I don't want to do anything stupid with you." Further.

Hiko took a step back, releasing her armrest on the wall. "Go get some rest, we leave early tomorrow." Said Hiko.

Without answering, Ruby left Hiko. Hiko looked at Ruby's departure, his eyes seemed to show sadness, regret and longing.
