The Honorary Owner
98

Hiko ran a little down the corridor of his management office. The director's room became Hiko's current goal. Genta did not give any explanation to Hiko, he just told Hiko to meet in the room of Mr. Budi - the director who oversees the management of Hiko-Director.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" Sapa Hiko when entering the room Budi.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Only Genta gave an answer, while the others were astonished.

"Gue how long haven't I seen him? It's different." Whisper Budi on Genta.

"Since he became my son-in-law he was different, sir." replied Genta.

Budi nodded, his gaze following Hiko every step until the man sat on the sofa.

"Ngapain's meeting here anyway, Ta?" ask Hiko.

"The Boss asks." replied Genta.

Hiko looked at the fat man who already had a lot of gray hair in his hair.

"Lo doesn't like to see me?" ask Budi.

"No, just males! All I'm talking about is that." Answer Hiko.

"Well, Kirain is completely different. The same thing, keep ngeselin." Budi sneering.

"Can't go straight to the point! I'm leaving my wife." Hiko protested, "Nara did it?"

Genta and Budi shook their heads compactly.

"Who?" ask Hiko impatiently.

"One of Ghea's aides confessed that." Answer Genta.

"Ghea? My opponent played yesterday at The King? The new artist?" ask Hiko.

The two men in front of him nodded.

"Gue took his assistant to the police station, let them handle the case." Budi Word.

"What does Ghea have to do with this case? Nothing to do with it at all, he doesn't know Ruby's problem either." Hiko still doesn't understand.

"She has feelings for elo , ****! Napa Lo so insensitive gini anyway?" ask Budi.

"Now his brain and heart are full of girls whose names are Ruby, sir." said Genta.

Budi's face changed firmly, "Gue doesn't want you to unload everything into the media!"

Hiko was surprised by Budi's remarks . He looked at Genta, you tell him? that was the meaning of his gaze.

"Maksa boss, Ko!"

Hiko sighed in annoyance, but how else.

"Gue doesn't want Lo's career ruined because of this. You're at the top of your career now!" Budi.

"You didn't read that all my fans attacked Ruby!? He ain't wrong! I was wrong, but he took it all. How can I breathe a sigh of relief in the future?" sergeant Hiko.

"I don't agree anyway! I won't help you if I get to Lo lakanin!" Threaten Budi.

Hiko fell silent, not because of Budi's threat but he thought of Ruby's warning as well. He thought about how disappointed his two in-laws would be if he knew he was the one who ruined their only daughter?

"Lo know where Ghea is now? I have to make calculations with him now." Ask Hiko to Genta.

"Gue doesn't want you to make a scene, Ko!" Be warned.

"No one can guarantee in the future how? What is clear is that I must defend my wife's honor desperately!" Hiko then left.

Budi looked at Genta, he warned to keep all of Hiko's actions. Budi really did not want to be harmed by Hiko's actions.

Genta Yang already understood and immediately said goodbye and followed Hiko Yang who had come out first.

**********

Hiko just kept quiet watching the streets, letting Genta who had earlier given him an explanation if Ghea had long put his heart on Hiko.

"Lo didn't hear me anyway?" genta asked annoyed.

"No! I wonder how to get back Ruby's good name! And he himself forbid me to admit my mistake!"

Genta was silent, he focused on driving Hiko's car. The atmosphere of the car returned silent, they were both busy with their respective thoughts.

"As your manager, I don't support that lo lasain. But as a temen lo, I support one hundred percent to admit your mistakes! Even if losing Ruby is the worst consequence."

"That's what I'm afraid of!" Reply Hiko.

Genta and Hiko fell silent again, focusing on the road leading to Ghea's house.

Not too long ago Hiko's car climbed the capital's asphalt is now starting to go down the road paving in a luxury housing. Genta took the time to pause at the security post to ask for the address on his phone. With a hint of security, Hiko's car finally stopped in a house that is not too big but looks very luxurious. Two sedan cars and SUVs belonging to famous brands are lined up neatly in the carport of the house.

Hiko and Genta get out of the car and into the courtyard of the house that no one was guarding. Genta pressed the bell attached to the frame of the whitewashed door.

Three times the bell was pressed until a young woman appeared from behind the door.

"Ghea is there, mbak?" ask Genta.

the woman looks shocked and sees Hiko's presence, "Mas Hiko?" he ignored Genta's question.

"Ghea is?" Hiko asked with an unfriendly face.

"There is, please come in" said the woman.

Hiko and Genta walked into the living room. Only then did the woman enter into a tall, beautiful female figure with fashionable clothes and a branded bag on her arm appear. His face was slightly surprised at the presence of Hiko and Genta.

"What's wrong with Hiko here?" ask Ghea.

"Do you know why I'm here?" ask Hiko without saying anything.

"What's up, brother?" ghea asked, of course he was very adept at putting on a confused face.

"Ck!" Hiko clucked in annoyance, "Lo isn't that good at acting!" His ejek provoked Ghea's emotions.

"Sit down first, brother."

"What makes you tick at my house?" Sergey Hiko.

Ghea still gave her puzzled facial expression.

"Gue doesn't know that Lo is an easy girl, just because acting doang Lo brings feelings to me!"

Genta nudges the back of Hiko's hand which continues to proffocate Ghea.

"I liked my sister before I even got into the entertainment world. I may be cheap to you, but at least I'm still a girl who can keep my own chastity."

Ghea's sentence was enough to make Hiko rise in blood. If Ghea had been a man, Hiko would have killed her by then.

"Where do you know all about him?" hiko asked after being able to control her anger.

"I know all about you as well as about Ruby" Ghea replied casually.

Hiko smiled wryly, "How much does Lo know about me?"

Again Hiko clucked annoyed at Ghea's reply.

"So you know how many girls I've slept with?" Hiko was guessing something.

Ghea nagged, "The girls at the nightclub? some artist and also his assistant." Ghe pointed at Genta with his chin.

Hiko and Genta stared at each other, he didn't know too far. Genta's eyes spoke like that.

"What benefit do you get from all this? You are not my type, whatever you do will not make me ogleh lo!" said Hiko.

Ghea shook her head, "I don't want you either."

Hiko and Genta frowned in confusion.

"I don't want to answer them, because I know you're having our conversation."

"Haha!" Hiko laughed loudly, "Gue didn't know that Lo was this cool?"

"Of course, I don't want to go to jail for this."

"Lo tumbalin's assistant Lo?" asked Genta did not expect that the beautiful woman was being cunning.

"I don't know what he's doing out there." Ghea answered with a deliberately contrived tone as if being pressed.

"Gue Definitely Lo will also understand what it's like in prison." Threat Hiko.

Ghea could still smile as sweetly as possible, making Hiko growled and inviting Genta to leave Ghea's house.

*********

Hiko got home not too late, but Ruby had slept under the blanket. The arrival of Hiko made Kyai Abdullah and Nyai Hannah relieved and rushed to go home. A little advice was given by Kyi Abdullah to encourage Hiko to face this ordeal.

"Why don't Abi and Ummi stay here? Is the room uncomfortable?" hiko asked before Kyai Abdullah and Nyai Hannah got into Ehsan's car.

"Abi has to attend some events for the next few days.After the event is finished we will definitely stay here before returning to Malang." Answer Nyai Hannah.

Hiko nodded, "Sorry if Hiko troubles Abi and Ummi."

"No, Son. Don't talk like that." Kyai Abdullah patted Hiko on the shoulder, making her look down even more in disdain.

"We're going home first, right?"

"Assalamu'alaikum." Pamit Kyai Abdullah and Nyai Hannah together.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Abi, Ummi." Answer Hiko.

"Pamit first yes, Mas." Pamit Ehsan from the car.

"Yes, San. Careful, Yes."

Ehsan gave her thumbs up and took her car away from Hiko's yard.

As soon as her two parents-in-law, Hiko went back into the house. Locking the door and closing the curtains then he went to his room.

Still at the end of the second-floor staircase, Hiko finds Ruby coming out of her room.

"Mas, sorry. I didn't know you were coming home, I fell asleep." Ruby approached Hiko regretfully.

Hiko smiled, tidying up Ruby's slightly messy hijab. "What's up, Ruby." Answer Hiko. "Have you had dinner?"

Ruby shook her head, After praying isya' with Ummi earlier I went straight to sleep, Mas."

"We eat first, yuk." Take Hiko.

Both went down to the kitchen. Ruby warms the dinner menu in the microwave while Hiko prepares their dinnerware. Once everything was ready, they started eating dinner.

"Have you met the culprit, Mom?" ask Ruby.

Hiko nodded, "You're right, By. It wasn't Nara who did it."

"Call right, mas? no matter how upset and angry Nara is, she won't do anything like this."

Hiko did not answer, because in fact he did not agree with Ruby's opinion.

"Then, who did it?" ask Ruby.

"Ghea, my co-star in The King."

"Ghea!?" Ruby did not expect. "Why can?"

"It's my fault, By. So you're the one who's taking all this."

"Have you ever fucked her, Mom? and now he's holding you accountable?" Ruby tried to guess.

Hiko shook her head, "Son, Ruby. I never fucked her."

"Wantas, why?"

"He hasn't told me why." Answer Hiko.

Ruby silently looked at Hiko, making them stare at each other.

"Why do I suddenly feel afraid if there's someone you've slept with to hold you accountable, huh, Mom?"

That question was enough to make Hiko's heart pulled out and thrown away.

"Ruby ..."

"If it really happened, what should I do, Mom?" ask Ruby.

"That's not gonna happen, By."

"If that happens?"

"Don't talk about the uncertain, By."

"One thing for sure is uncertainty, huh?"

And again both of them were silent, staring at each other with equally harsh eyes, defending their opinions.
