"Get out of my room, Mom."

Finally, Ruby's voice broke the silence that momentarily wrapped around her room.

Hiko did not budge on Ruby's orders, he still stood in front of Ruby, hoping that the woman in front of him changed his decision.

Ruby's phone vibrating on the table took over the attention of Hiko and Ruby, seeing the name Abriz on the phone's screen.

Ruby took her phone, "assalamu'alaikum, Mas Abriz? What's up?"

"Wa'alaikumsalam, By. I just wanted to ask you something."

"Yes, Mom?"

"Are you really going to Japan? I can't sleep thinking about that."

Ruby looked at Hiko who had been staring at her, listening to her conversation with Abriz. He knew that Hiko could hear Abriz's voice on the phone.

"Yes, Mas. I'm gonna go." He answers Abriz's question, also confirming his decision to Hiko.

"You're serious, By?" Ask Abriz.

"Yes, I'm serious."

"How can I get you if you're so far away from me, By?"

Hiko frowned at Abriz's question, slowly but clearly in Hiko's ear.

Ruby leaves Hiko, but Hiko blocks her steps and seizes Ruby's phone.

"Lo realized that he had spoken to a girl who had status as a wife of people?" hiko Benthic.

"Wife person? Isn't your relationship status? you don't love each other, you love everyone else and I have a right to love Ruby."

"B*ngs*t!!! ..."

Ruby recaptured her phone and cut Abriz's phone.

"Don't spend energy on useless debates, Mas." Ruby Said.

"Useful? you think I'm mad at you, just like that asshole's useless?"

"Why did you argue with Abriz? What's in it for you, Mom? Did he hurt you?" Ask Ruby.

Hiko fell silent, she was looking for answers. It wasn't a difficult question, but he didn't find the answer to it.

"I beg you, come out. I want a break." Pinta Ruby, her head feels like it's about to break. Not because of the flu, but because of all these circumstances.

Hiko looked at Ruby's face which did not look good, "Rest." He said he took Ruby's dinner plate and then went out of the room.

As soon as Hiko, Ruby turned off her room lights and immediately laid herself on the bed. His eyes were closed tired, but not with his brain still trying to think.

What is Hiko thinking? What is that man planning? What keeps the man from holding himself back?

The questions kept coming out of his head. Makes him unable to rest. The effects of the drugs he took did not make him sleepy.

***********

Cold weather sneaks in through the vents on the walls of Ruby's room. He was folding his face, just performing the morning prayer, his body was more painful because he could not sleep overnight.

He sits on his desk chair, looking at a contract and a picture frame where he and Nara are. He looked back into the recesses of his heart, there was a feeling of guilt there that made him very eager to get away from all this.

His intention to be able to help Nara get happiness with Hiko, instead getting her involved in a complicated relationship, and making her best friend's heart broken. No, maybe more precisely to make the two women's hearts break.

Ruby can't stay beside Hiko. That's why he has to accept a contract from Sunrise Animation. I must go, Inner Ruby.

trrt trrrt.

Ruby's phone rang, her Umm name there made her take the call immediately.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ummi. What's so early calling Ruby?"

"Wa'alaikumsalam, son. Is Ummi bothering you?"

"No, Ummi." Ruby replied, "did something happen there, Ummi?"

"No, Son. We're fine, but somehow Ummi is agitated thinking of you."

The deg!

Ruby was surprised to hear Nyai Hannah's reply.

"Ruby's okay, Ummi." Ruby replied lying.

"Ummi was the one who gave birth to you, Bi. Ummi who gave you ASI for two years, are you doubting the bond between Mother and Son?"

Ruby sighed, "Ruby's just a little feverish, Ummi." Answer Ruby.

"How bad is it, son? Does anyone take care of you there?" Tanya Ummi started to worry. "Is your husband home?"

"Yes, Ummi. Ummi needn't worry, Mas Hiko is looking after me." Answer Ruby.

"Thank God, son. At this time Ummi can only pray for you to be healed soon"

"Amijn ..."

Ummi was silent for a while, Ruby was also silent in her mind.

"Is there something else you're thinking about, son? Talk to Ummi."

Ruby shed her stifled tears. He was eager to tell everything, share his grief, his grief to his umminya But it was impossible, his burden would only make his family hurt.

"Why, Son? Are you crying?" Ask Ummi.

"Nnnn ..." Ruby took a deep breath, "Ruby got a job offer and continued s2 Ruby in Japan."

"What does your husband think, son?"

Ruby sighed, she had guessed that her parents could not make a decision. Maybe it was just a suggestion he would accept, not a decision.

"Mas Hiko didn't give Ruby permission, Ummi."

"See your husband, son. Ummi doesn't need to explain anymore why, you're already very familiar with that."

There was no answer from Ruby.

"Is that what makes you sad, son?"

"Yes, Ummi." Answer Ruby. No, Ummi. There are many things that make your child sad. Ruby screams in her mind.

"Talk carefully to your husband, son. If he stays with his decision, then do as he pleases."

"Yes, Ummi."

"Please yourself, son. Rest, Ummi will call you later. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Yes, Ummi. Allycumfun ..."

Ruby put her phone down, she immediately drowned her head between her chest and arms on the table. He began to hear the sound of his sobs.

"Gue can't give you permission to go to Japan."

Ruby was surprised, she raised her head and looked back. Hiko was sitting on her bed, not knowing when she was there.

"When was it there?" ask Ruby

"Even if abi and ummi allow it, I won't let you go." Hiko ignored Ruby's question.

"That's my dream, Mas. You can't interfere in it. You can't keep me from leaving."

"Gue lo's lawful husband!"

"What kind of husband could touch another woman? go with another woman? Even to sleep with another woman?"

"Since I married you, I've never slept with anyone!" Hiko Sahut.

Ruby just smiled wryly.

"Whatever you say I'm your husband!" Hiko stood up and approached Ruby, "and I'll never let you go to Japan."

Ruby looked at Hiko, "Let me go, Mas." she said gently.

Hiko shook her head.

Ruby grabbed Hiko's hand, she clasped it. "I must go, not only to pursue my ideals, but also to save my pride. Please, let me go, Mom." Her ink with tears that had soaked her cheeks.

Hiko let go of Ruby's hand and left Ruby's room.

"What keeps you from holding me here, Mom?"

Ruby's question stops Hiko's steps.

"You don't love me, you don't need me, I can't make you happy and I don't mean anything to you. What's the reason I survive if your happiness is made of another woman?"

Hiko looked back at Ruby, the woman was standing looking at her. Highlight the angry, hateful and groggy eyes into one there. Hiko just quietly approached the woman and hugged her.

"Take it off, me." Ruby Said.

Hiko kept hugging him. "I'm sorry, By. I can't let you go there. For a moment or a long time, I can't let you go." Said.

Hiko let go of her embrace, looked at Ruby and wiped Ruby's tears and left.

"Why are you this bad, Mom?"

*********

The hour hand had shown to the number four in the afternoon, accompanied by a warm tea, Ruby was sitting on a rattan chair located on the balcony of the second floor of Hiko's house. Microfiber blanket wrapped his body, warding off the cold wind that tried to touch his body that has not been too improved from fever.

Since exiting the dhuhur room earlier, Ruby did not find Hiko in the house. He also had no intention of finding out where the man was going.

Ruby looked at her phone, there was a Direct Massage notification there.

Yuki! Sumringah.

/I heard that Sunrise Animation invited you to join their studio?/

Not waiting long, Ruby immediately replied to the message.

/*Yes, Brother. They also said if they want to invite Brother to join, but it is too difficult for them to contact Brother./

/I didn't see any emails from them, and yesterday they sent me another email. They said they also offered you to join. Howwasyouranswer? Are you interested?/

/Of course I'm very interested, they will also finance my s2 there. What about brother?/

/I'll go if you go. Honestly, I also want to work there, only I am not very good in Japanese and have no acquaintances there. If there's a countryman I know, it could make me more comfortable there./

/If so, let's take a new science there together, brother./

/Yes. If so, we'll meet soon./

/Good, Brother. See you*./

Ruby stood up and immediately entered her room and signed a letter of employment contract with Sunrise Animator. He doesn't care what Hiko says, his family or Hiko's family.
