"Ruby!"

Ruby's steps stopped just before she passed the main door of the Inwork Studio building. He looked for a voice that he was very familiar with and his eyes came to a halt in the figure of a tall, shady-faced man. He walked over to Ruby.

Ruby was still sculpting, she really did not expect the person she always missed was standing in front of her.

"You're blocking people's paths, By." Iqbal reminded Ruby.

Ruby immediately shifted her body away from the door.

"We'll just go there." Iqbal invites Ruby to sit on a sofa that is offered to some people who are waiting in the lobby.

Ruby followed behind Iqbal and sat down to distance himself beside Iqbal.

"Why did you suddenly get here?" Ask Ruby.

"You don't like me here?" Iqbal asked.

Ruby shook her head quickly, "No mas, of course I'm very happy to see you here."

Iqbal smiled, "I just want to see you for a moment. After this I have to go to Surabaya, Mas Hafidz get married tomorrow."

"Oh yeah? Is it gonna be long?" Ask Ruby

Iqbal shook his head, "I've only been here four days."

There was a feeling of sadness and also relief in Ruby's heart.

Iqbal took something from inside his small suitcase. "I bought you something, I hope you like it." He gave me a small box wrapped in black paper.

"Thank you, Mom." Ruby accepted.

"I know I shouldn't have done this. Meeting you did make my miss, but it was only temporary. After this maybe this miss will make my sleep less sound."

Ruby smiled, "But I'm happy, at least I can see Iqbal for a while. Affairs long to let the heart overcome."

"I go first, By." said Iqbal.

"So fast is it?" ask Ruby.

Iqbal nodded, "I don't want to be the reason you were scolded by your boss."

"Ah, Yes." Ruby just remembered that she had been working.

Iqbal stood up and pulled the lever of his suitcase to make Ruby stand up.

"No need to drive me, By. Just go back to your room." Iqbal

Ruby nodded, "Thank you for taking the time to meet Ruby, Mas. And this too." Ruby lifts a small box from Iqbal.

Iqbal nodded, "See you at our wedding, By." Iqbal

Ruby smiled shyly, "Yes mas."

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Take care of your health, By."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mas."

Iqbal left by dragging his suitcase, Ruby still did not move. He still wanted to satisfy himself, looking at Iqbal's back, trying to hold back his soon-to-be-present longing when Iqbal disappeared from his sight.

"By! What's here?"

Tasya's voice resuscitated Ruby right after Iqbal's back disappeared behind the office's main door.

"Eh, Miss Tasya. That's when a friend stopped by." Answer Ruby.

Tasya saw Iqbal from behind the window lobby. "Lo Cowok?"

"Prospective husband, ma'am." replied Ruby

"Oh yeah? You want to marry me?" Tasya was surprised, seeing Ruby was still younger than him.

Ruby smiled, she began to step towards the elevator with Tasya.

"I'm still at the sermon, ma'am. Because my future husband is still continuing his s2 studies in Yemen."

As Tasya becomes interested in Ruby's life, Ruby answers all the questions Tasya asks her from the first floor to her room.

**********

"Well! so you're Kyai sir's son, By!"

Irma's shout made Ruby lower her head, lucky this time they were eating in the roof garden office that afternoon was not too many employees who ate there.

"Can't you?" Irma was still astonished.

"Yes, my brain thought that too!" added Tasya.

Ruby was astonished, "What can I do?"

"By, what I know is usually Pak Kyai's children can not go out of the house, at home, ngajar najai in pesantren, marriage truss. This lha? I graduated seika university loh! they usually go to Islamic universities." Tasya

Ruby chuckled, "Yes too huh, Ma'am?"

Ruby's answer made Tasya and Irma even more astonished.

"Lo's parents?" Ask Irma

Ruby nodded, "Well, Ma'am. The proof is that I graduated and now I work here."

"It turns out the life of my son that I thought was wrong. I guess exactly the same as what Tasya said earlier." Irma was still thinking hard.

"Yes that's average, Ma. Just a coincidence Abiku did get me to college in accordance with my interests mbak. On condition that the knowledge of the world and its afterlife must be drawn." Clear Ruby.

"Trus, where do you live?" Ask Irma.

"In my house, Ma."

"Trus, who in Japan lives with?" Tasya asked "And Japan in my mind is kind of like that?"

"There are brothers there too." Ruby giggled, "When they were not what we thought they were. There seductive girl who is not known, the girl is not accepted can be prosecuted law loh. So rarely are there guys who are flirting with girls. Suppose you want acquaintances must also be in a good way."

"Eh, that's really cool. If here you can too. There are flirtatious whistles, go to jail" said Irma squashy.

"Lo was here?" Suddenly Aris came

"Why, Bang?" Ask Ruby.

"Lo is called the Boss of Heru! Important." Aris said then approached some of his friends who also had lunch on the roof.

"Oh, why?" Ask Ruby scared.

"Most signature contracts, By." Answer Tasya

Ruby stood up, "I'll stay, ma'am."

"Yes, By."

Ruby left with her luch box for all she put in the third-floor kitchen, then she went to Heru's room.

"Go in, mbak. I've been waiting for Heru." Lena said when Ruby got in front of her.

Ruby smiled and knocked on the door of Heru's room.

"Yes, come in."

Ruby opened the door to her room. There was Heru, two men who looked the same age as Heru and a middle-aged woman.

"Eh, come in By. Sit down." Sit down." Heru.

Ruby greeted the two male guests of Heru with a smile and sat down beside the female guest of Heru.

"Ruby," Ruby shakes a hand introducing herself.

"Bu Rica." The woman shook Ruby's hand

"By, Bu Rika and her friends are from the production house. They want to turn your comic into a drama series."

"What sir?" Ruby did not want to be misheard by Heru's statement. "I didn't hear wrong, sir?"

"Not Ruby." Rika reassured Ruby, "There must be a lot of production houses who want to make your comics into a drama series. Because we were lucky to find the creator of the comic, so we rushed here to see you."

"Oh my God, really this?"

All nod

"You ready?" Ask Rica

Ruby nodded

Secretary Rika gave some maps to Rika.

"This is a contract we have made. Read it first and if there is anything you ask, just call the number on this business card." Rika gives one map to Ruby.

Ruby received the map. "Okay, I'll read it first."

"Do you mind if we pick the cast in this drama?" Ask Rica.

Ruby thought for a moment, "I don't really know Indonesian artia, Mom. I leave it to you."

Rika nodded, "Okay then. I hope you'll approve the contract."

"InshaaAllah, ma'am."

Rika and her two secretaries stood up.

"Sir, thank you for sharing this good news with us." Rika reached out to Heru.

Heru welcomed Rika's hand, "Together Bu Rika, May we continue to work well together."

"Ruby, I'm saying goodbye. If you've read the contract, call us immediately." Rika's

"Good, Mom."

"Good day." Pamit Rika left Heru's room followed by her two secretaries.

"Be careful on the road, Miss Rika." Heru said to take Rika to the front of her room.

Heru went back inside and sat down on the sofa.

"Thank you Sir Heru helped promote my comic." Ruby Saying.

Heru smiled, "A lot of people have been eyeing your comic, By. But they don't have access because you're too shut down. Sorry if I suddenly told Rika about you. Because I'm sure StarHouse has Rika's mom in hand, your comic will be the most popular drama."

Ruby just nodded happily.

"You read the contract well, I hope you agree."

"Good, Sir. Thanks again." Ruby stood up and left Heru's room.
