The Honorary Owner
19

Hiko wakes up from her sleep, while Genta kisses Maria's hand.

"Ruby hurts what, Ta? How did you get to the hospital?" Ask Maria.

Genta and Hiko glanced at each other and gave each other codes.

"What do you want to plan?" Maria asked who understood her son and Genta was planning something. "My answer is, Ta. Ruby's sick what?"

"Actually Genta also does not know aunt. Just now Nara told me that Ruby was in the hospital, but when I asked her if she was sick she didn't answer auntie." Genta.

"Nara?  Your assistant?  How do you know Ruby?" Ask Maria.

"So I know they've been friends since childhood." Answer Genta.

"Yes!? Ask Nara, where Ruby's hospital is. I'm gonna go see Ruby." Pinta Mary.

"Ma, what's mama doing there.  Let Hiko and Genta go there." Persuade Hiko.

"You'll be there tonight with mommy." Firm Maria.

Hiko looked up, "Ngapain Hiko's coming too, Ma?"

"Aren't you worried about the people you love?"

Hiko looked up further, and Genta threatened Hiko to nod his head.

"Hiko is worried, Ma.  But it would be weird if there with papa and mama." Hiko looked for an excuse.

"Udah, anyway we will malem to the hospital.  Mom just went home if that's it."

Lazily Hiko kissed her mother's hand, as well as Genta.

"Be careful, Mary." Genta escorted Maria to the terrace of the house and then back inside after Maria left.

"It's weird making plans!  How about Nara misunderstand this reason?" Hiko was upset.

"Gue's talking to Nara, I also need her help with this plan. Lo ntar just follow the same bokap nyokap lo to the hospital." replied Genta. "Lo also needs The King to boost your popularity, so you have to persuade him so that your position is not replaced."

"Whatever you want!  I've been thinking about ginian!" Hiko left Genta and went to her room to rest.

***********

Hiko and her parents walked down the hospital corridor with two bodyguards and one Handoko aide. As usual, Hiko always went out to public places wearing a mask and hat to protect her privacy.

"Kyai Abdullah." Sapa Handoko from a distance when she saw Kyai Abdullah just came out of the room.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Kyai."Handoko grabs kyai Abdullah's hand and hugs him.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mr. Handoko." Reply Kyai Abdullah, "How did you get here?"

"I heard from Nara, Ruby's best friend. It just so happens that he's Hiko's assistant manager, Kyai.  Ruby was in the hospital.  That's why we're here soon." Handoko.

"Ah, Yes.  Nara came here this afternoon.  Nara and Ruby are like brothers, sir."

Kyai Abdullah greeted Maria with a smile, then looked at Hiko like he was trying to guess.

Hiko immediately opened her hat and mask and kissed Kyai Abdullah's hand.

Maria takes a parcel of fruit from handoko's aide, and gives it to Hiko. "Let's go to Ruby later."

Hiko lazily accepts her and follows her mother into Ruby's inpatient room.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Nyai Hannah." As Mary sat on the sofa, she immediately kissed the left right cheek of Nyai Hannah alternately.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Miss Maria. God, how do we know we're here?" Nyai Hannah was astonished, She also greeted Handoko and Hiko with a smile.  "Let's sit down, please."

Hiko wanted to sit down too, but Maria held him back. "Parcelnya taroh on the nightstand next to Ruby first darling." Brief Mary.

Nyai Hannah smiled, "I'm sorry, Ruby's still sleeping."

Hiko simply smiled and approached the white nightstand that was located right beside Ruby's bed. He did not dare to look at Ruby, because honestly he was afraid if Ruby knew who took her honor and said it to Nara.

Friction from Hiko's shirt when placing a parcel on the nightstand makes the perfume smell like the air around it.

The aroma made Ruby suddenly wake up to sit with a frightened face, her body reflexed away from Hiko to make her almost fall to the floor. However, Hiko quickly pulls her and makes Ruby fall into Hiko's arms.

"Deliver!" Shouted Ruby.

Without waiting for the second word Hiko released her hand from Ruby.

"What's the matter, baby?" Nyai Hannah immediately hugged Ruby whose body trembled in fear.

"Are you Ruby, Ko?" ask Handoko.

"Hiko doesn't do anything, Pa." Answer Hiko astonished.

Ruby hugged her body tightly.  Hiko could see Ruby's infusion hose bleeding due to Ruby's rough movements, as well as the white bandage that wrapped Ruby's wrist.

'Did he really do it?'

Guilt began to perch in the depths of Hiko's heart, he never thought his actions would make someone's life almost lost.

"I'll excuse you." Hiko wanted to avoid Ruby.

Ruby saw Hiko's departure from behind and suddenly Ruby recalled the figure of the man walking away leaving her in a room with a dim yellow light.

His mind started to second-guess about Hiko. She was never that close to Hiko, but the scent of Hiko's perfume once smelled close enough to her to wake her up unconscious.

Could it be Hiko who did all that to her?
