"Ruby?" Biran looked at the woman who was standing. Biran was not wrong, it was indeed Ruby and her assistant. Biran immediately stood up to approach Ruby but her steps came to a halt when a man came.

"Are you okay?" ask the man.

"I'm doing fine. Can we find a seat?"

"Ah yes, we sit there." The man embraces Ruby and they go the other way to wait for the carriage. Biran.

Who's the guy?

What does this have to do with Ruby?

Is Ruby married?

Various questions swirled around in Biran's head. For the sake of finding out, Biran slowly followed and sat not far from them. Biran burned with jealousy seeing that not a second had the man removed his hand from Ruby. Biran was still paying attention and suddenly smiled when she realized that every word of the man had only been responded to by one or two words by Ruby.

He was still the same, haughty and did not say much.

There's no way that guy's his partner. Ruby was never that much with me.

"Edgar, I'm going to the toilet."

Deg. Biran sharpens his horror.

The edgar?

"Ratna, please accompany Miss Arang."

"Yes sir."

Charcoal?"

Since when was he ready to be called Arang?

Biran looks at Ruby who is walking towards the toilet with her assistant who she knows is named Ratna. Biran wanted to know what was really going on.

Why is Ruby with Edgar? Has he given up and chosen his fiancee?

Biran looked at Edgar's face. This was the first time he had seen Edgar's face, years ago he had only heard his name. Edgar, Ruby's fiancee. The choice of family. The man Ruby left behind for Biran. Biran tiptoed, walking slowly towards the toilet.

Biran wants to see her but she is afraid that Ratna will prevent her, just like the last time they met. He saw Ratna waiting outside the toilet. Charcoal came out of the toilet and they were seen talking. Arang took out the money and gave it to Ratna, Ratna walked towards a stall while Arang stood waiting. Biran did not want to waste the opportunity, he pulled Arang behind the pole.

"Who are we...."

Charcoal almost screamed but Biran covered his mouth with his hands. Biran opened his hat, revealing his face. Arang looked at Biran's face and his eyes sparkled as he found the person he had left in the mall.

"You?"

While Biran gasped, he thought Ruby had recognized him. Biran suddenly recalled the first time they kissed on the wall of her house fence.

"You were at the mall, right?" Charcoal shrinks his voice.

Biran looked at Arang in disbelief.

"You really don't remember me?" ask Biran.

"I'm sorry. I can't remember you."

Biran looks disappointed. Charcoal turned to Edgar who read the newspaper.

"Do you know me?" tanya Arang enthusiastically.

I know you very well.

"I need your help!" Charcoal looks agitated.

"Yes?" Biran looked at Arang confusedly.

What are you doing here?" ask Biran.

"I'm going to Jogja, but I need your help."

"Can we meet again?" ask Arang.

Biran. Still don't understand why Ruby didn't recognize him.

"What's going on, why don't you know me?" ask Biran.

Arang looked at Biran's face.

"I'm sorry, I lost my memory."

Biran looks in shock. I didn't think Ruby had lost her memory.

"Do you know me very well?" ask Arang again.

Biran looked at Ruby's face in disbelief.

Arang took out his phone but put it back in.

"I can't keep her number on my phone." Arang speaks for himself.

Suddenly there was an announcement that the train to Jogja was coming soon. Arang turned to look at Edgar who started looking for his whereabouts.

"Please write your phone number here."

Arang handed me a piece of paper.

Biran looked at Arang in confusion.

"Hurry along. I need your help. Please wait for me, I'll call you." Charcoal looks panicked as Edgar gets closer.

Biran wrote down his number quickly, Arang immediately grabbed the paper and turned around, just as Edgar was nearby.

"Why have you been so long? what are you doing here? I'm worried something's going on." Edgar looked at Arang.

"I'm just waiting for Ratna, let's go." Charcoal grabbed Edgar's hand and took him away. Edgar looked at the hand of Arang who was still holding it.

"Arang, are you okay?" ask Edgar.

"Yes, just a little nervous. It's my first time riding the train..."

From behind the wall, Biran listened to them.

"This is the first time I've ever been on a train again..."

Biran pondered, those were also the words he had spoken long ago as he and Ruby went to Bogor.

"You serious? you live in Jakarta and never take the train?" ask Ruby.

Biran looked at Ruby with offense.

"I'm a little scared to get on the train." Biran admitted, Ruby laughed.

"Are you still afraid right now?"

Biran smiled. "Because of you, I'm a little brave."

"Is there anything else you're afraid of besides getting on the train, Mr Biran?" ruby asked while leaning her head on Biran's shoulder.

"There's a lot."

"Numbers. I'll make you ease that fear slowly."

"I'm also a little scared to get on the boat."

"Oh yeah? All right sometime we'll go get on the boat."

"You don't have to do it."

"Why? I was also a little scared to get on the boat. We'll try both."

Biran laughs.

"Ruby, is there anything else you're afraid of besides getting on the boat?"

"There's."

"What's that, let's try it together as well."

Ruby raised her head.

"I won't try."

"Why? What are you afraid of?" Biran looked at Ruby.

"I'm not going to try, because what I'm afraid of is losing you."

Biran was silent for a moment.

"Yes I'm more afraid" Biran said in his heart.

Biran looked at Ruby's back that had moved away.

And now I'm losing you.

Biran looked sad and realized something.

"First time on the train? how bad is the amnesia? Why haven't you been on a train all this time? Wait, I haven't lost him yet. He's just amnesia."

Biran looks excited, he runs after Ruby just to see her once more.
