The sunlight that slipped from behind the leaves of the coconut tree made Ruby want to close her eyes. The sound of friction from the leaves seems to be a music of lullabies that will calm his sleep. Just hearing Hiko's words last night can wake you up last night. Was-was, embarrassed, scared, alert, restless, pity, even 'wanted to try' so one in his eyes.

Ruby blinked her eyes, wanting to return to her room immediately. He did not care about the boisterous friends of the Star House artists and crew who took turns to enter the bus to return home to Jakarta this afternoon.

Although Ruby and Hiko did not come home with the others, they still came down to take the departure of their colleagues.

"Gue go back!" Pamit Genta, "You're both on your honeymoon." Before you actually get on the bus.

"Gue made you pound a dozen!" Hiko Sahut.

Genta laughed and waved his hand then got into the bus. He was the last person to get on the bus.

The loby was deserted when the bus from the Star House was gone. Only Abriz and Bagus remained who they knew and they did not leave.

"You're not coming back, By?" Ask Abriz.

Ruby shook her head, "Still here first, Mas. I got a week off from Mr. Heru." The answer.

Abriz looked at Hiko with an unpleasant look, Hiko did not accept and looked at Abriz no less annoying.

Seeing that, Ruby immediately took a stance. "We'll just go back to the room, ma'am." Bring Ruby.

"Yes, honey. You'd want to be booby, you couldn't sleep last night." Hiko glanced cynically at Abriz.

Ruby gave a small punch on Hiko's arm, she looked at Abriz who was wide-eyed with Hiko's words.

"Please go to the room first, okay?" pamit Ruby's.

"Yes. We will also be returning to Jakarta soon." Good Word.

"Oh yeah? Very nice! Go away, lo!" Hiko spirit expels.

Ruby goes to encourage Hiko to leave Abriz and Loby and then return to her room.

"Why did you say that anyway? do you make other people think we're done with?" ruby protested when she got to the room.

"Why? We are a legal couple in the eyes of law and religion, why should be confused what others think? It's only natural that we do. That's also worship." Hiko Sahut.

Ruby just sighed, she was sitting in front of the bed.

"Are you thinking about that guy's feelings?" ask Hiko suspiciously

Ruby shook her head, "No, Mas."

Hiko took a chair and sat down in front of Ruby, "I'm not a man who's good at picking up my jealousy, By!"

Ruby looked at Hiko.

"Maybe I'll be a selfish man when it comes to you" Hiko said again.

"Mas Abriz was just a co-worker to me, Mas." Clear Ruby.

"He thinks of you more than that."

"How can I manage people's feelings, ma'am."

"Let me just straighten this out with him!" Hiko went away.

"Mas!" Ruby blocks Hiko's steps, "Where are you going?" ask Ruby.

"I want him to end his feelings for you!"

"I won't let you make a mess here, Mom." Said Ruby.

"But I ..."

Ruby hugged Hiko quickly to the point of making Hiko flabbergasted.

"By, I don't know if this way can keep me from picking." Hiko said, she returned Ruby's embrace tighter.

"Don't make trouble with anyone else, Mas." Ruby Pinta.

Hiko nodded, "for now I let it go."

Ruby looked up at Hiko disapproving of her opinion. He took his arms off Hiko.

"Of course, go there. Whatever you want to do, I'm gonna go to bed." Ruby said, she went back to bed.

Hiko chuckled and followed Ruby. "You don't want breakfast first?" Ask Hiko.

Ruby shook her head, "Will I get breakfast?" ask Ruby.

Hiko shook his head, "You're sleeping, I'll call room service."

Ruby nodded, "I slept a little, Mas."

Hiko nodded, giving a small peck on Ruby's forehead. "I'm sorry you couldn't sleep last night."

Ruby mayun, but she nodded her head.

"Do you want me to go to Yemen?" hiko Goda.

Ruby shook her head quickly, "No, thank you!"

Hiko smiled, "I'm out daunted, yes. You just sleep." he rubbed the tip of Ruby's head and then left.

"Please don't look for trouble, yeah!" Ruby reminds Hiko before the man disappears behind the door.

"Yes, baby ..." Hiko answered and then she closed the door.

Hearing Hiko call her 'honey' makes Ruby shiver amused, but enough also makes her blush embarrassed.

**********

Hiko goes around the hotel pool, he is busy reading whatsapp messages from Nara that have been piling up. From there he could know how the condition of Nara and Mama in Malang. Hiko finally contacted Nara to speak more clearly.

"Sorry, Ra. The event here is so good, I can just relax now." Hiko opened the conversation with a lie.

"You're worrying me, Ko! I've been thinking things through! Genta also never once answered my phone call. You guys are avoiding me on purpose?" Ruby immediately attacked Hiko with what she felt. "You're not busy with Ruby anymore, are you?"

"I'm the same as the others." Answer Hiko.

"When did you come back? I want you to take me to Malang, Mama wants to talk to you too."

"I'm still here three days." Answer Hiko.

"You want to go to Malang to meet my mother?"

"Yes, I'll go to Malang. I have something to talk to you about, too."

"Oh yeah? about what?"

"Let's go ..."

"Yes, deh. What are you now?"

"Again alone in the pool deck." Answer Hiko briefly, "Ra ..."

"Yes, honey?"

"I'm sorry I've been doing bad things to you."

"Huh? you why the hell? how did you suddenly say gini?"

"Gue realized, the way I treat you is not good, I miscalculated it."

"You're weird, baby."

Hiko smiled wryly, "I close first yeah, someone calls me."

Hiko hung up. There was nothing different about his feelings for Nara, just flat. Not because there is now Ruby so that his feelings for Nara changed, but it is just this that he felt from the past, flat. If you look back, it seems like he never sought Nara except in terms of 'satisfaction' only.

Huh!

Why did he realize now? As if looking for a justification to be able to keep Ruby beside him?

Hiko put his phone in a bag, he threw himself in the pool chair, enjoying the sky that was not too hot because there were many clouds over there.

*********

Although the weather looks unfriendly, this afternoon Hiko still invites Ruby to take a walk around the hotel, spending time together. Eat street food, stop by an art market, and end their trip on a beach to enjoy the sunset.

Ruby leaned spoiled on Hiko's shoulder, their fingers intertwined with each other. Both are silent, busy being witnesses of the coming of the night.

"Look at this twilight I'm on your mind, By." said Hiko

"Why, Mas?"

"I'm afraid you're like dusk. Beautiful but only briefly in the sky and then go away."

Ruby pulled her head from Hiko's shoulder, she looked at Hiko who was staring blankly ahead. "Try to leave everything to God, Mas. I was also trying to get on with him. I know His plan is more beautiful than my shadow."

Hiko just looked at Ruby and hugged her.

"Don't ever talk about this again, Mom. Let's just enjoy the time." Ruby Saying.

"Yesa, yes ..." Hiko replied, "Why am I a gini baperan anyway! Not really me!" muttered.

Ruby just laughed.

"Where are you going for a walk tonight?" Ask Hiko.

Ruby shook her head, "Come on, Mas."

"Jude, in the room just make a baby?"

"Well!! What!!" Ruby encourages Hiko to be surprised by Hiko's words.

"Joking jokes ... Don't go around with it, dong." Hiko pinched both of Ruby's cheeks. "But seriously too."

"Byrrr..." Ruby pinched Hiko as tightly as possible.

"Oh my God, By! Saaakiittt!" Pekik Hiko's.

"Belgium!" Said Ruby annoyed, he stood wagging his robe to release the sand attached there. "Let's pray first, Mas. Let your mind go nowhere."

"Where are you, By?"

"Daddy, comeoook!" Ruby pulled Hiko to her feet.

Hiko stood up laughing, he cleaned the sand grains in his pants then grabbed Ruby and walked back into the hotel area.

They immediately changed clothes and then prayed magrib together in a hotel room.

For two days now, Ruby has two very long awaited times. After the dawn prayer and after the magrib prayer, that's when he could listen to Hiko chanting the holy verse of the Qur'an in a beautiful way.

Ruby listened well to each verse, her eyes could not stop radiating admiration to the man in front of her. The annoying guy who always gives her the surprises of her life that makes Ruby proud.

"Shodaqallahul'adzim."

Hiko stopped his reading when adzan isya' reverberated. Ruby took the Qur'an from Hiko's hand and placed it on the table. They both listened silently to Adhan, looking for blessings there. Then they prayed shortly after the Adhan stopped reverberating.

After praying Isya', a hotel maid came to bring Hiko's order food for their dinner. After dinner, they decide to spend the night watching a movie in their room.

Hiko was already sitting leaning on the headboard of the bed, the pile of pillows was also there giving a comfortable position. Ruby was already leaning against Hiko's chest by playing Hiko's hand that was hugging her.

Both focus on comedy films. Yes, they had argued long enough this afternoon to determine what movie they would watch. Hiko chooses horror, but Ruby doesn't like it. Ruby chooses action, Hiko doesn't like it. Romantic movies, will only make them nauseous, because the romantic story in the film is only a joke in their opinion. They choose the comedy genre.

Hiko and Ruby were endlessly laughing to the point of tears.

"Addduu." Hiko complains that repeatedly becomes a victim of Ruby's anxiety when laughing.

"Why girls if laughing must use mukul, pinch!" hiko Protest.

"Hehe, sorry sorry, Mas. Habits." He said as he rubbed Hiko's cheek.

"Here is his hand, let me take care of it!" Hiko pulled Ruby, carried Ruby's body forward and then hugged Ruby from behind while holding both of Ruby's wrists.

Hiko rested her head on Ruby's shoulder, Ruby's long hair that was lying around made Hiko's cheek stick perfectly on Ruby's neck. Gave a strange swish all over Ruby's body. Ruby was silent, she could not enjoy the film in front of him anymore.

"Why? How do you forget the gini breath?" Hiko asked, he was pretending to be stupid.

Ruby shakes.

Hiko silently asked no more and stared at the television screen.

No more laughter there even though the film is presenting a very tickling comedy.

"Maos ..." Call Ruby.

"Hmm?"

"Do you want it?"

"What do I answer to this question?" Hiko looked at Ruby and asked back.

Ruby was silent for a moment.

"I want to try it." Ruby said, "After all you are still my rightful husband."

Hiko fell silent, unable to say anything. Pleased? Not very. Nervous? Aye!

Ruby's answer made her very nervous, as if she had only first touched a woman.

Hiko turned around Ruby's body, "You're serious, By?" Ask Hiko.

Ruby nodded, "I'll try."

"You're making me nervous, By." Said Hiko

Ruby gulped, her eyes looking the other way. "Actually I'm also very nervous, Mom." He said, "Maybe another time."

"Don't!" Sergeh Hiko, make Ruby look at him.

Hiko takes the remote and turns off the TV in front of her and then looks back at Ruby. Both of her hands were gently pressed against her cheeks until Ruby's nape. Her lips began to kiss Ruby's forehead, to the nose, both cheeks until it ended in Ruby's lips.

Ruby closed her eyes and enjoyed every soft kiss from Hiko's lips. Several times kissing with Hiko makes it can now balance the man's kiss. His hand tightly gripped the tip of his pajamas. He took a breath as Hiko let go of her kiss.

Hiko smiled, "You're getting smart" Hiko said.
