The Honorary Owner
79

Hiko stared intently at the owner of the beautiful eyes, he was guessing what he was thinking just like the woman in front of him. But he himself did not have enough courage to ask his guess.

"Bi ..."

"Whatever happens, I'm going to Japan." Crop Ruby, "If you don't want to divorce me, let me keep going, Mas."

Ruby's eyes suddenly runny.

"Gue can't admit it all, By." Reject Hiko.

Ruby got closer to Hiko, "You can't have it all, Mas."

Ruby takes off the silver ring that Hiko made as her wedding dowry, she grabs Hiko's right hand and puts the ring on Hiko's hand.

"Would it be the woman you love and let me go, why would you keep holding me back if it was another woman you wanted? stop being selfish, Mom. Your selfishness will only make the three of us hurt each other."

Hiko could not say anything, there was something wrong with Ruby's words, he did not agree with all of Ruby's statements.

"Lo sleep first, I'll go for a minute."

Hiko avoided Ruby. He leaves with Ruby's ring.

The edge of the beach became the place to think of every word that came out of Ruby's mouth. She admits that if she is so selfish, not wanting to divorce Ruby, she doesn't want to let go of her.

A cold canned drink suddenly stuck to his cheeks. There was a Genta who gave me the drink. Genta sat down beside Hiko and sipped his cold drink.

"Isn't your style thinking of yourself on the gini beach? Just a little trouble running to the club, calling the girls sexy, their maenin ..."

"Dissipated! Lo diem!" crop Hiko.

Genta smiled, even though it looked sad, he would rather see Hiko like this. The two quietly listened to the waves whispering among the sand of the beach.

"He likes you!"

One short sentence from Genta mempu made Hiko turn his head as fast as lightning on Genta to clarify what he heard.

Genta looked at Hiko seriously, "He left because he didn't want to get caught up in his own feelings that you obviously couldn't get back at."

Hiko remained silent.

"The decision is in your hands! You stay with him or you get back to his feelings." Strictly Genta, "but you know for yourself what risks you have to take when you return his feelings."

"Gue can't believe he's got feelings for me, Ta! You see how perfect he is and how bad I am?" Hiko shook her head, looking back at the end of the dark sea shore. "Lo's wrong, Ta! this time it's wrong."

Genta again sipped his canned drink, "Lo knows where to ask." Genta stared right at Hiko's chest then he stood up leaving Hiko.

Hiko still denies Genta's assertion that it is impossible if Ruby has any special feelings for him. He felt his chest, he could not deny himself if behind his disbelief there was a point of joy there.

No, I can't gini. You got Nara, Ko! He's the one who's always been there, lo! He was fighting with his own mind.

Is that how he loved Nara?

He himself hesitates, considering that for several weeks he lived with Nara his days were not as interesting as when he was with Ruby. Although with Ruby he always quarrels, but enough to make his day full of color. While with Nara, he was happy because his lust was always fulfilled, but he did not feel interesting things when with Ruby.

"Gram!!" Furious, Hiko ruffled his neatly arranged hair.

Hiko stood up, gulped down the rest of the drink and then squeezed and threw it away. He went back into the hotel. The disco music of a DJ still accompanies his friends who enjoy a poolside party. The greeting and invitation of his friends did not make Hiko have the desire to join. The steps remain straight to enter the hotel building.

Hiko's steps stopped right when he saw the directions of the hotel mushola. Without realizing it, his steps were moved to follow directions until he reached a room dedicated to prayer.

He stood for a long time in front of the door, looking at the special carpeted room of the mushola.

Do you know if I'm worried? Am I not a great sinner too despicable to ask for your guidance? Is that perfect that woman until you direct me here to see you?

Hiko was silent for a long time with all his thoughts until finally he decided to go take ablution and perform the sunah prayer there.

Meanwhile Ruby felt restless in the room waiting for Hiko. He decided to go find Hiko.

Ruby goes to the crew and the filmmakers who are still around the pool, asking for Hiko's whereabouts. Some people said Hiko had entered the hotel some time ago.

Ruby went down the first floor of the hotel, looking for Hiko's whereabouts in every corner of the room until she stopped her steps when she saw a man she knew was raising his hand.

Slowly Ruby stepped in, as much as possible did not make a sound and sat not far behind Hiko. He did not hear any prayer, just a sobbing from an Ibrahim Akihiko.

The man plunged his face in two palms closing his prayers and cries. He wiped several times his face then calmed down for a moment by lowering his face until he felt someone sitting next to him.

He raised his head and was very surprised when he saw Ruby who was beside him. He remained silent and just stared at Ruby. He felt the soft hand rub the remaining tears on his cheek then gave a thin smile that could melt the iceberg in the recesses of his heart.

Hiko grabbed Ruby's body and hugged Ruby very tightly. Ruby let it go, she patted and gently rubbed Hiko's back.

"I'm sorry, By." Hiko said, she let go of her embrace.

Ruby was surprised to hear the word I came out of Hiko's mouth. "Why are you sorry?" ask Ruby.

"Because it's made you have feelings for a despicable man like me. I shouldn't deserve your love."

Ruby looked at Hiko, "Right say that, Mas? do you doubt His power? God is moving my heart, my God."

Hiko held onto Ruby's two cheeks, "I'm sorry I noticed it too late and it hurt you too much." He gave a kiss on Ruby's forehead.

Ruby nodded slowly.

"What do I have to do to keep you here, By? You want me to cut off my relationship with Nara? You want me to be a worship expert like Iqbal?"

Ruby shook her head, She pulled both of Hiko's hands from her cheeks. "I don't want anything from you, Mom. I'm not asking you to be someone else. Just know yourself, love and love yourself. You are precious to yourself and others. Try to stop seeking confession by hurting yourself and taking you too far away from Him. You know what's best for yourself."

"Stay here and help me, By." Hiko Pinta.

Ruby held tightly onto Hiko's hand, "I'll still go mas."

Hiko shook her head, "you can't do that, By."

"I should be able to, Mom. As long as I'm by your side, Nara will get hurt even more. We just hurt each other. Please understand too, Japan is my destination after the Kaaba. That's where all my thoughts and ideals are stored."

"One of the reasons I married you was because I wanted Nara to be your wife, Mas. I want Papa and Mama to be able to accept it as they accept me. Because for Nara, you are her world."

"Is this your head, By?"

Ruby nodded, wiping away Hiko's tear marks. "I'm sorry, Mom."

Hiko gave no answer, just a close hug for Ruby.

**********

The night is getting late, but Ruby never lay herself on the bed. He busied himself with his tablet. He was not focused on the picture, the man's gaze on the bed made him feel uncomfortable and could not enter into his imagination.

"Udahlah, By! Sleep why the hell? I know you're sleepy, don't focus on your comic strip." Hiko.

"Who said? I'm focused!" Ruby insisted, "eat it, go to sleep first! I'm still a long time."

"I won't do anything about you, I swear!"

Ruby looked at Hiko, "your words that look convincing like that scare me, Mas."

"Hahahaha, I really won't do anything about you." Hiko is still trying to convince Ruby.

Ruby shook her head, "lagian mas talk me you're tickled in my ears. Don't do it, Mas."

"If my tongue is also stiff, but this is my attempt to make us feel more intimate, By!"

"Huh!? Don't be weird about you, Mom. Our relationship is no more than before, don't think of anything!" Ruby made things clear.

Hiko smiled amusedly at Ruby's behavior with her high self-esteem. "Yes, yes."

Hiko stood up and pulled Ruby to leave her tablet. Bringing Ruby to bed.

"Trust me, I won't do anything about you!" Hiko reassured Ruby once again.

"Promise?"

"No promise either. Haha."

"Don't..." Ruby hits hard chest field Hiko.

"Yes, By. Aye! i promise! go to sleep there."

"If you do anything strange, I burn you alive, ma'am."

"Yeahaaaaaa!"

Hiko went to turn off the room lights and lay down on the other side of the bed. Ruby gave a bolster barrier between her and Hiko. He sleeps on Hiko's back, carrying his body right in front of the bed.

The atmosphere of the room was dark, faint faint still heard the cheers of some people who were around the hotel, there was no sound of the clock in the room that made it sound very silent.

Ruby had already closed her eyes, but her heart rate that was too loud kept her awake.

"By!"

Hiko's voice almost made her heart come out in shock.

"Yes, Mum."

"I've often slept in one bed with many girls, but why sleep together you make my heart not rusty, huh?"

Ruby fell silent, not knowing what to answer. He closed his eyes to pretend to be asleep.

"Jawab, By! Don't pretend to sleep."

Ruby was silent.

"If I wasn't this asshole, I'd have the courage to return your feelings, By." Hiko said, but clear enough to hear.

This time Ruby opened her eyes and turned around to look at Hiko in the dimness of the room.

"Your love is too holy for a sinner like me." Hiko pulled her body towards Ruby. "Not that I don't love you, but I just feel unworthy."

Ruby touched Hiko's cheek and rubbed it with her thumb.Stare at each curve of Hiko's face that is still clearly visible in dim light.

Hiko took the bolster that was the barrier between her and Ruby and pulled Ruby to sleep on her arm.

"Mas, don't do this!" Ruby pushes Hiko's body, but the man restrains and instead holds her.

"I'm grateful to know how you feel, in this way I can keep your feelings." Hiko said, she rubbed Ruby's hair.

Ruby pushes Hiko's body away, but Hiko holds her back.

"I won't do more than this, By. Shut up and sleep."

Despite his misgivings, Ruby could not deny if she felt comfortable being in Hiko's arms.

I'm sorry, Ra.
