Tonight Ruby dressed up so neatly. Wearing a knee-length baby pink dress with a collapsed collar model. Her hair and makeup look simple. He helps the waiters in the kitchen prepare dinner. Ardi says he will come home with his father, Mr. Raharja.
"Ruby, come with me!" exclaiming Rei who just came and immediately told Ruby to approach him.
Rei led her up to the top floor to Rei's room.
Rei's face looked anxious, it seemed like he had a problem. Rei was not the type to indulge in his personal affairs. When he wants to share his story, it means he is getting into trouble which he thinks is quite strange.
"What am I asking now?" asked Ruby who was confused since Rei just fell silent sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Did Livy call you?" tanyakanya.
Ruby scrunched her forehead. Livy hasn't called her in a long time or come to see her at the office. Given his own problems already a lot, he had no time to ask about the development of Rei and Livy's relationship
"He didn't call me. Why why?"
"His family asked Livy. But, I haven't contacted her for about a month either."
Ruby was surprised, "One month!? You guys broke up?" his eyes widened in shock.
Rei hump.
Ruby did not expect that their relationship would be problematic. Every time he saw their closeness, he felt envious. Livy is a very cheerful young woman, the type who is able to liven up the atmosphere. Can compensate for the nature of Rei who tends to be quiet and closed. In fact, after connecting with Livy, Rei became a more open person.
"But why?"
"You must have known why." Rei looks limp.
Without Rei explaining, Ruby knew that their reason was religious differences. A difference that is indeed very difficult to penetrate because of the barrier in the form of a high wall that reaches the sky. However, Ruby thinks they can decide the future that both will take.
"Sister asked for a break up?"
"No. But Livy." Rei's weak tone was like one who was tired of living.
"Then why did he run away?"
"Where would I know .. if I knew I wouldn't ask you either."
Ruby still couldn't believe Livy could make such a decision. According to him, Livy was seen as the party who liked Rei first. All of his actions also imply that he wants the attention of Rei. She is a very initiative woman, likes to start things first, especially to less sensitive humans like Rei.
"When he asked for a break up, what did you do?"
Rei was silent for a moment, recalling the moment when he was decided. "What do I have to do? Once it was decided, of course I allowed him to leave. Maybe he already felt nothing wrong with our relationship."
Ruby patted her forehead, "So you didn't have any effort to ask for an explanation or try to find a way out?" it's like Ruby ruffled Rei's head.
"What explanation? Everything is clear. The difference that is in front of the eyes is real, what else is there to explain" Rei said with his flat face.
"The woman sometimes wants to talk to, Rei. Sometimes it's just an opinion, not a decision. You must have let him go."
"He wants to go, not me forcing."
"I think he's being chased, Rei. He wants you to fight."
"Was fought how?"
"Actually what do you like about Livy? It's easy to give up." Ruby became doubtful about the feeling Rei had on Livy. "Try to be honest, do you still want it?"
Rei bowed. According to what he believes, a good household must have the same purpose and direction. If their faith alone was different, how would they live the next life?
"Maybe ending sooner is the best decision. I don't want to be dating her forever without any future plans."
"You do realize when you were first in a relationship?"
Rei chuckled, "Where does anyone realize when falling in love. We just focus on feeling the same way about each other without thinking about the other side."
"The more I come here, the more I realize that our relationship is going to get harder. Moreover, papa also started to dislike our relationship."
"Papa's intentions aren't bad. He just wants you to live a good life. If one of you decides to convert, of course there will be hatred thrown from one of the family. Papa won't want his kids to get blasphemy."
"Papa also actually does not mind the work of the father continued Livy."
Rei looked back. His brain was completely dead could not be used to think. He doesn't know what to decide.
"I'm just confused about where Livy is. His family did not know where he was. Daniel's brother called me a few times because he was worried about Livy."
"Try you remember again where his usual favorite place he spent time. Or did he ever tell you to visit somewhere?"
Rei massaged his forehead. He doesn't really know what Livy likes. During the dating, Rei almost never asked anything about Livy. His girlfriend was more talkative until sometimes he got tired of listening to her.
"Neng Ruby, Den Reino, I've been waiting in the dining room. Den Ardi has come with his father, "reported Bi Minah.
"Yes, Bi. We'll be down in a minute."
After hearing Ruby's voice, Bi Minah immediately left.
"Come, come with me down to meet Ardi." ask Ruby.
"I'm lazy to get involved in your problems. Just tell papa I'm not feeling well."
Rei put his body on the bed. Ruby blicked her lips. "Ck! Yes, I'm going first!" ruby said with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Hopefully your day is bleak!" Ruby had time to curse from behind the door while sticking her tongue to rub against Rei.
Hurriedly he ran down before Rei chased after him and grabbed his ear.
Arriving in the dining room, Ardi and Om Raharja were already there. He kissed Om Raharja's hand and then kissed Ardi's right and left cheeks. Ruby was still acting in front of both of their parents.
Dinner event begins. The waiter serves the prepared food. They eat food in a state of silence, only occasionally they talk about light things.
After dinner, they moved to the living room. That's where it looks like a more serious discussion will begin.
"Om Wijaya, earlier I wanted to thank you for the dinner. All the food is delicious." Ardi tried to start a serious conversation.
"The point of my arrival here is to cancel my wedding plans and Ruby's."
Everyone was shocked by Rei's words, including Ruby. Pak Raharja and Pak Wijaya looked at each other. They don't believe what they just heard.
