The Honorary Owner

Heru invites Ruby to a room that says 'Animator Room' attached to the door. The room is so spacious. Ruby and Heru's presence attracted the attention of several employees.

"Guys, get his attention back."

Heru clapped his hands several times to get the attention of his entire employee.

"This is Ruby, she graduated from Seika University Kyoto-Japan. Comicus of The King and Dewi Sri. Two comics that ruled the 6 online comic platforms this past year."

Heru's introduction immediately got a speech and applause from the occupants of the room.

"Waaah, cool cool cool."

"Graduate Japanese animation, guys!"

"Finally met the comic directly"

Heru looked at Ruby, "some of us are followers of your comics."

Ruby blushed in embarrassment, whereas all this time she did not want to expose herself.

"We're just here to relax. You want to leave or go home at what time it is up to you, you can set yourself. But I don't like it when my employees work more than eight hours, stalling until the work deadline falls apart. Okay." Okay."

Ruby nodded, "Good, sir."

Heru takes Ruby to his desk, "This is your desk. Everything you need is here."

"Riss! Here's Ris!"

A tall, thin man with long hair approached Heru, "why boss?"

"This is Aris, the team leader here. He'll explain to you what project we're working on."

"Hi!" Aris waved a lazy hand greeting Ruby.

Ruby just nodded and smiled.

"She is, at best, males when told to talk. But the best if it's a picture."

"Well, boss? My job is not too complicated," asked Aris

"I'll tell Ruby to explain, Ris."

Aris scratched her hair. "Irma, Here's Ma." Aris called a hooded woman.

"Why, Bang?" ask Irma

"Lo was clear to him about our project, huh?" pinta Aris, "gue continued my job as boss." Aris patted Heru on the shoulder and left.

Heru just sighed. "Yes, you obviously went to Ruby. I'll go first."

"Good, sir." Answer Irma

"Thank you, Mr. Heru." Ruby said, getting a nod and a smile from Heru.

"I'm Irma." Irma held out a hand

Rubu welcomes Irma's hand, "Ruby, Ma'am."

"Gue likes to know the same comic, especially The King! Aduuuh, the character makes klepek-klepek."

"Thank you, mbak."

"Call Irma, we're her age." Irma said, "Lo has no intention of making a second season? Well, gur ngarep really that comic in the drama. It must be really cool."

"Ma! Talk about Ma's work!"

Aris' scream from her desk made Irma speechless. "Yes, Bang." Sahut Irma's.

He pressed the power button to turn on the large computers and tablets that were on Ruby's desk.

"Work here is fun, By. What matters is your job responsibilities. All here rich family, surely you will be at home."

Ruby just nodded.

Irma explains everything from A to Z, from Ruby to lunch. Either Ruby must be grateful or not hear all the details of Irma's explanation.

Want to be grateful but his ears are tired, not grateful but Irma's speech includes important things.

"Udah, don't poke a mouthful!" A long-haired, sexy woman covered Irma's mouth.

"Sasya Ma'am! I'm clear on the important thing to Ruby." Irma protested her friend's treatment.

"Gue who is far away there is tired of you talking, let alone him.?" Tasya. "Aren't you going to have lunch?"

Irma stood up, "Huh! It's lunchtime, Ma'am?"

Tasya ignored Irma, "Gue, Tasya." He reached out to Ruby.

Ruby welcomes Tasya's hand, "Ruby."

"Go eat, yuk." Take Tasya

"Yes, Mommy." Ruby stands.

Tasya pulled Ruby and Irma's hands and headed out to the third-floor kitchen, where the third-floor employees took their lunchbox rations.

"By, just take my lunch ration." Suddenly Heru came out of his room and told Ruby.

"But, what kind of lunch is Mr Heru wearing?" Ask Ruby

"I've got a lunch schedule outside, so just for you."

Not yet Ruby replied thank you, Heru has entered the room again.

"Sir Heru is good." Irma boasts her boss.

"Free mating, can't be deretin." Sahut Tasya's.

*********

Ruby did not expect the hours of returning home from work to make the trip home more than three times longer than the trip. The queue in the busway corridor snaked long, making it stand longer.

Arriving at home kyai Nur made him immediately bathe and pray Maghrib alone. Nyai Fatimah and Azizah participated in the Kyai Nur Prayer in the Mosque as well as taking part in public studies there.

After dinner alone, Ruby immediately called Umminya to let him know if he had been accepted to work at Heru's company. Abi and Umminya hope that Ruby can work well until Iqbal returns to Indonesia.

He reconfirmed that it was a phone call, not a message ringtone. How surprised Ruby was to find out Iqbal was calling her.

Repeatedly Ruby cleared her throat to set the sound.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mas Iqbal?" Say hello after pressing the receive button.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Ruby. Do you mind if I call you?"

"No, Mas. I'm glad to hear your voice, even though I'm nervous." Ruby said honestly.

"Hahaha, you're being honest, Ruby."

Ruby felt sorry for being too honest.

"How was your first day at work?"

"I'm thrilled. They all treat me well." Answer Ruby.

"The building where you work is very unique, suitable for you which is also unique."

"How do you know?"

"You posted it on Instagram this morning."

"Ah yes, Right." Ruby recalled, "What are you doing today?"

"I'm on the bus."

"Will I travel far?" Ask Ruby

"Lumayan."

"Where?" Ruby asked again "If you don't mind answering." Ruby realized her curiosity had made her ask too many questions.

Ruby only listened to the laughter from Iqbal.

"I'm sorry I interfered too much, ma'am." Ruby said regretfully.

"No Ruby, you're not too involved. You'll know soon." Iqbal said he did not want Ruby to misunderstand.

"Oh yeah? How would I know?"

"Don't you always see my instagram feed?"

Ruby closed her face in embarrassment, "How did you know?"

"Hahaha, I just guessed it and it turned out to be true."

Ruby was embarrassed to hear Iqbal's answer.

"I hung up, By. I've got to get down."

"Yes, Mum."

"Assalamu'alaikum, By."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mas Iqbal."

Ruby immediately buried her face in the pillow because she was embarrassed. That's why Ruby prefers chat over phone. He feels not too good at talking, better chat because he can think longer before he replies.

**********

Ruby's phone vibrates repeatedly but Ruby always ignores it, because she does not like to be disturbed when her hands and brain are working.

Ruby finally gave up because the vibration was very disturbing. He opened his phone, had fifteen missed calls and five new messages.

/By, Check IG in Iqbal Now!/

A short message from Nara makes Ruby have to release her palm from her mouse.

Soon Ruby opened her Instagram and the first post she saw at the time was a man who was photographed looking back at the camera facing the Inwork Studio building. To Ruby's surprise, Ruby almost dropped her phone.

"Fifteen minutes ago?" ruby murmur.

He chose to send the Instagram photo to Iqbal.

/Is this true of Iqbal?/

/Finally you saw it too./

Ruby was really surprised to see Iqbal's answer. Is it true that Iqbal has returned to Indonesia?

Ruby stood up and walked over to Aris' desk.

"Bang, Aris."

"Hm"

"May I go out for a minute? There are people waiting for me."

"Yaaaa" replied Aris unconcerned.

"Thank you, Bang." Ruby then left the room.

Ruby is confused right now, should she be happy or sad?

He was happy to meet the person he had longed for, but he was also sad if he had to lose his new job a day.
