"Hiko!!" Shouted Nara and Genta.

"Lo's okay?" Hiko asked as she removed her embrace from Ruby's body, ignoring Nara and Genta who approached her.

Ruby was still fixated on not being able to move her body seeing what had happened just now.

"By!"

Nara's voice made Ruby realize, Hiko's two hands still clutching her hands. "Deliver!" slow jolt.

Hiko immediately pulled her hands and body to stand up. Nara helps Ruby stand up and clean her dirty clothes.

Nara saw Ruby's trembling hand, she immediately held Ruby's hand but was immediately rejected by Ruby.

"You all right?"

Some people approached asking about Hiko and Ruby's situation. But Ruby quickly left the crowd without saying goodbye.

Seeing Ruby leave without saying thank you made Hiko growled and chased after Ruby.

"Lo can't say thank you? It's good I help!" Sentak Hiko's.

Ruby ignored Hiko and kept going.

Hiko wants to pursue Ruby but is held captive by Genta and Nara.

"Udah, Ko! Let her!" Genta.

"I'm nyeselongin' him!" Hiko pulled her hand from Genta's.

"I saw your back first, if why-why we go to the hospital while waiting for their decision." Nara.

"we're sitting there, Ra." Genta pointing gazebo near mushola.

"Yes, Brother."

Nara, Hiko and Genta move on to go to the Gazebo. Not to forget Genta thanked some people who approached to ask Hiko's condition.

Meanwhile Ruby still rushed straight into the toilet to calm her chaotic mind.

Somehow Hiko's perfume made her remind her of the atmosphere of the night. Her hands were still trembling as her body still vividly remembered how Hiko's embrace of her made her afraid, angry and upset.

His heart again guessed whether Hiko was the man who took his honor?

Ruby fingered her bag and saw a call from Rika.

"Yes Bu Rika, this is me already at Star House. Just finished praying duha. I went up." Clear Ruby.

"Thank God you could come, By."

Ruby closes her bag and rushes out the toilet, "Yes Bu Rika, I happen to be healthy."

"Okay, Bi. I'll wait in the third-floor meeting room, right?"

"Okay, Miss Rika." Ruby ended her call and headed straight for the elevator

*********

Meeting to determine the leadactor runs long enough. Because there is a lot of debate and consideration. Among the twelve people present at the meeting there were only five people who disagreed with Hiko being a leadactor, while the other seven had already agreed.

"So we agree, The King's leadactor remains Ibrahim Akihiko huh." Rika as meeting leader.

They all just nod, because indeed those who agree do not actually fully agree. They only consider Hiko's acting talent which is indeed very professional.

"Please call Hiko and his manager in." Pinta Rika on her Assistant.

Rika's assistant goes out of the room, before long she returns with Genta and Hiko.

Hiko looked at Ruby who was deliberately unwilling to look at her and just looked down.

"Please sit down." Rika pointed to the two empty seats that were indeed reserved for them.

Hiko accidentally pulls the rough of her chair to make Ruby look at her, she still wants to show her upset face to Ruby. But that didn't work, because Ruby chose to look at the other corner.

"Sorry," Hiko said as the sound of her chair interrupted the others and then sat down.

"From the results of the meeting's decision, we've decided not to replace Hiko as a leadactor." Rika without stale bases.

"Yes! Thank you Rika!" said Genta spirit, he reached out as long as possible past the table in front of him to shake hands with Rika.

"On one condition!"

Being ignored, Genta pulled back and folded his hands neatly on the table.

"Please fire your assistant manager, because I don't want any rumors that will hurt The King's series."

Rika's request not only made Genta and Hiko surprised, Ruby was also surprised. Hiko already wanted to protest Rika's terms, but Genta held her back.

"Let's just calm, Miss Rika, all the gossip that was circulating was just a misunderstanding. Hiko and my Assistant have nothing to do except work colleagues, I can guarantee that. Because Hiko has her own lover." Genta.

"Oh yeah? Can I trust you?"

Genta nodded, "Of course, if the time comes he will announce it to the public. Because her lover is not from the artist, so it's a little difficult to make her appear in public." Obviously Genta, he glanced at Ruby who had just listened to his lies.

"okay! I assume it's all true and you can settle your personal affairs. The shooting process for Hiko will start the day after tomorrow." Rika glanced at her assistant to give Hiko a nod.

"I'm sure it didn't take long for you to animate Sadana's character" Rika told Hiko.

Hiko just nodded while opening the script sheets.

"We'll send you the location of the shooting, you can go directly there."

"Good, Mom. Thank you, thank you for keeping Hiko up." Genta.

He stood up and reached out and this time Rika welcomed him.

"May we work well together." Rika said, taking turns to treat Hiko.

"Thank you, Mom." Hiko

"Together." Rika let go of her hand.

"I'm sorry, I have one question" Genta said.

"Yes, please."

"If you'd like, how could Ruby help Hiko explore Sadana's character?"

Genta's question makes Hiko and Ruby surprised and stares at Genta disapproving of his request.

The others could, but with the haughty man it made Ruby heavily nod her head.

"Okay, Miss Rika."

"Okay, then let's end this meeting. Thank you for your participation and good afternoon."

"Jiang."

Everyone dispersed and left the room. Hiko pulled Genta a little away from the exit.

"Why do you have to ask for such strange rich things?" Ask Hiko.

"Lo has to get into character, Ko. Not if you make a film from a novel adaptation, you also share the same author?"

"But not with him, Ta! You know myself I tried to avoid him, even lo deket-dektin."

Genta winked telling Hiko to shut up, then glanced behind Hiko to see Ruby and Rika who had just walked out of the meeting room.

"This room we can use, Miss Rika?" ask Genta.

Rika nodded, "Yes, go ahead."

"I'm sorry, but I can't be in a room with a foreign man. We'd better talk in the lobby." ask Ruby.

"OKAY. No problem. We're talking in the lobby." Genta Agrees.

"I'll say yes, Mom." Ruby Pamit.

"Yes, By. Thank you for attending this meeting." Rican Speech.

"Together, Mom."

Ruby leaves Hiko and Genta because she doesn't want an elevator with them.

Until he was in the lobby, he tried to contact Nara asking for company. But it turns out Nara is still helping to do the task of Genta at the shooting location.

He decides to sit down waiting for Genta and Hiko while busying himself with his cell phone.

"Hi, By." Sapa Genta then sat down on the sofa that was in front of Ruby.

Ruby stuck her phone in her bag and smiled back at Genta. He ignored Hiko who was also ignoring him.

"Please ask what you want to ask" Ruby said.

"Come, Ko!" Gento patted Hiko on the back.

"Aah!!" Hiko squealed in pain, "B*ngs*t Lo! I knew my back was covered with bamboo!"

"Sorry, Ko. Forgot!" Genta rubbed Hiko's shoulder but immediately rejected Hiko.

Seeing this, Ruby feels guilty, but she is also reluctant to thank Hiko.

"If you don't want to discuss, I'll leave now." Ruby Saying.

"The other person in pain was even invited to a discussion." Hiko Mumbles.

"Hahahaha, he's kidding." Genta Errata.

Ruby let out a long breath, "Sadana is a very haughty and selfless crown prince, outraged at the nature of the crown prince the king deprived him of his royal status and sent him to be an ordinary villager.... " Ruby explains Sadana's character in the comics.

Long times the width times the height finally made Ruby and Hiko engage in serious discussions and put aside their personal affairs.

Even Hiko to try acting as Sadana in front of Ruby and Ruby also did not hesitate to direct how Sadana character he wanted.

After getting the right feeling, Hiko ended the deepening of her character and returned again to be the annoying Hiko.

"Well, if anyone asks you can call me. You know where to get my number." Ruby Saying.

"Ready, By. We will definitely bother you more often" Genta said.

trrrt trrrt

Ruby's phone vibrated, there was a call from an unknown number.

"Oh, Yes Mas. I'm out for a minute." Ruby then hung up the phone.

"I'm sorry, I'm ahead for a second." Ruby leaves Genta and Hiko.

"Yes, By." Answer Genta.

Genta stared at Ruby's departure outside the Lobby with a look of admiration. "She's so pretty, Ko." Genta said, He leaned his head and looked at the ceiling.

"If I'm told to marry him, even if my ex wants to!" genta.

Hiko kicked Genta's leg, "Take your mouth when you say so! You think there's no one here?"

"Lo really doesn't want to be with him, Ko?"

Hiko didn't answer Genta's questions.

Suddenly, Ruby returned and placed a small white plastic bag on Hiko's front desk.

"I'll say goodbye, Assalamu'alaikum." Ruby then leaves Genta and Hiko.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Genta glanced at the white plastic bag in front of Hiko and opened it. "Medicine?" The clapper took some drugs out of the plastic bag.

"Medicine bruises? An ointment? This is for elo ko?"

Hiko silently looked at the drugs in Genta's hands.

"Crazy! She's so sweet, Ko! So I want to have." An anxious clapper looked towards the exit of the Lobby.

Hiko was still silent on the drugs, I don't know what he was thinking.
