The Honorary Owner
9

Since arriving at Kyai Nur's house, he has told his happy news to those closest to him. Abi and Umminya, Kyai Nur, Iqbal and Nara.

After he told the most important person in his life, he decided to read the contents of the contract and study it. However, he could not concentrate on reading the contract because he was too happy.

Ruby went back to bed and broke down. He continued his chat with Nara which he had delayed because he wanted to read the contents of his contract immediately.

/Tomorrow I'm off, By. You play at my house. Let you know my home./

"Right as well, mending tomorrow I'm there." Ruby Muttered.

/OK, Ra. Tomorrow morning I go there/Reply Ruby.

Ruby put down her phone and turned off the room lights to go to sleep immediately. He can't wait to discuss his contract with Nara.

**********

This morning Ruby and Azizah had just attended a public lecture at Darul Hikmah's pesantren which was held every Sunday. Ruby rushed to help Nyai Fatimah to clean the house and prepare breakfast.

"Paklek, Bulek. Ruby asked Nara for permission to leave, huh?" Ruby's permission to finish her morning breakfast with Kyai Nur's family.

"Nara? Your friend in Malang isn't it?" Ask kyai Nur.

Ruby nodded, "Yes, Paklek."

"Yes. Just go away." Kyai Nur gave permission.

"Ehsan between ya, mbak?"

"By, San. If you don't bother." Ruby accepted Ehsan's offer.

"No, Ma'am. Only Ehsan could not wait, mbak." said Ehsan

"Yes, Ntar can't ask Nara to come home."

Ruby helps Azizah and Nyai Fatimah clean the dining table. He wanted to help wash the dishes, but there were already some princesses who did it. Finally he went to the room to get ready.

"Morning, Ra. Wake up, right? I want to go to your house." While wearing her backpack, Ruby makes a phone call to Nara.

"Yes, By. Receiving your call means I'm awake." Nara said, "Have you come here, I'll take a shower."

"Well.don't donk, Ra. I know for sure your old bathing habits have not changed. You want to make me wait a long time?"

"Oh By, this is my own house. You can go straight in, I take a shower in the room. If you knock on the bathroom door if it comes, I'll squeeze out."

"Yes promise? I won't wait for you long."

"Udah bawel, spit here."

"Yes yes, I'm leaving. Byeah!"

Ruby ended her phone call. He looked at himself in the mirror first, made sure everything was neat and then he went out of the room.

Not to forget he said goodbye to Kyai Nur, Nyai Fatimah and Azizah. Then he approached Ehsan who was waiting in the yard with his motor matic.

"To this address, San." Ruby showed me a map on her phone screen.

Ehsan was observing clearly. "Later if it has entered the complex, mbak arahin ya." He gave Ruby a helmet.

"Sheap." Ruby used the Helmet that Ehsan gave and then climbed on the motorbike. "Already, San."

"Okay, mbak."

Ehsan rode his motorcycle down the streets of the capital on a slow Sunday morning. Sometimes Ruby gave the directions she got from the maps to Ehsan. Though Ehsan was telling if he had entered the complex just given his direction.

The journey from Darul Hikmah boarding school to Nara's house took more than half an hour. Making Ruby so reluctant to Ehsan.

Eventually they entered a housing complex. Here Ruby still gives Ehsan instructions until stopping at a residential house. Not too big, just have a large yard without a fence.

"Nara's dream house once." Ruby's inner.

Ruby got off the bike and returned the helmet to Ehsan.

"Ehsan go home first huh, mbak." said Ehsan.

"Thank you, San. Careful. "

"Yes, mom. You welcome. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Ruby walked in towards the main door, she could clearly hear the music Nara heard due to her loud horn.

Usually on weekends Nara spends time with Heru, but somehow not with this weekend.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Say Ruby when you enter the house.

Of course he will not get an answer from the owner of the house because the owner is in the bathroom with music as loud as this.

Ruby continued to step into the source of the music sound that could be ascertained it was Nara's room.

"Astaqfirullah!"

Ruby was surprised to fall limp when she opened the door of the room, she saw Nara being crushed by a man without clothes on. He could tell clearly if it wasn't Heru, raise Hiko!

"Ruby!"

Nara pushes Hiko's body and wears a blanket to cover her body.

Ruby lowered her head as soon as possible and tried to stand up then left Nara's room.

"By! Just wait!! Don't go, By." Shouted Nara.

Ruby ignores Nara, she leaves Nara's house probably. Not because of the holy pretentiousness, only that he was too surprised by what he saw.

"By!"

Nara who has been wearing clothes chasing Ruby who is still on the road around her house, because Nara's hurry to forget not to wear footwear.

"By wait!" Nara pulls Ruby's hand.

Ruby took Nara's hand out of her hand and sat down on the side of the road.

"You're crazy, Ra!" Ruby said annoyedly. "Had known I wanted to go to your house and you even nyodorin me those rich things!"

"Sorry, By. Hiko suddenly came and I thought. So I forgot you were coming here."

Ruby looked up at Nara's reasoning, she held both of Nara's cheeks. "Ra! Do you realize what you're doing?"

Nara nodded.

Ruby could see clearly there was no sense of regret in the eyes of her best friend. "Have you divorced Heru?" Ask Ruby.

Nara shook her head, "I never loved her, By. You know that."

"But that's no reason for you to do something like that, Ra."

"You're not in my position, By."

"Is that Hiko teasing you?" Ask Ruby

Nara shook her head, "I love her, so does she who loves me."

"Mas Heru know?"

Nara shook her head quickly, "Don't till she finds out, By. Please don't tell her or she'll hurt me again." Nara said in fear.

Ruby frowned, "Mas Heru hurts you?"

Nara showed some bruises on her arm. "This is the reason why I can't stay home with him."

"Oh God, Nara." Ruby hugged her best friend

"I can't do anything, By. He's threatening my parents' welfare." Nara started sobbing uncontrollably in her tears.

"What's your income being an assistant manager less to support your dad and mom?" Ruby let go of her embrace and wiped away Nara's tears.

Nara nodded, "Papa is too much forest, By. Mama always takes a lot of installments. My monthly salary won't be enough to pay for it all."

"Then how can you play with fire like this? Aren't you scared?"

"I also need happiness. And I can get it from Hiko."

Ruby let out a long sigh, "I also care about your happiness, Ra. But don't force me to justify what you're doing."

Nara nodded, "As long as you're still on my side, I've been happy, By. That's more than enough for me."

Ruby hugged Nara again, she really did not expect her best friend's life to be this bad. He also did not expect behind the face firm and kindness Heru turned out to be a rude man.

Ruby did not justify the affair of Nara and Hiko, but she also did not support Nara continued her marriage relationship with Heru.
