Slowly Ruby raised her head. That's when she accidentally caught Megan and Sarah smiling at each other. Ruby's hunch is certainly getting stronger. Megan and Sarah are up to something. The plan might not be to pour poison into the food, but something Ruby certainly did not know.
Ruby felt bitter. How not? Even though Ryan sided with him, he always faced everything alone. Especially when dealing with Megan and Sarah.
Even though Ruby has friends like Mike, Gaby and Max. Ruby knew she couldn't just trust them. Especially after remembering Mike's heart. Ruby believes Mike lied to her. Why would Mike want to obey Megan and Sarah. Mike even chose to lie instead of being loyal. Ruby was really disappointed.
"Why are you smiling? Do I look stupid in your eyes?!" ruby Timpal. Megan and Sarah look at each other.
"Come on, Ruby. Why are you so sensitive!" megan commented, holding both hands forward.
The door suddenly opened. Ryan just came in and joined us. His arrival automatically stopped the interaction that occurred between the three wives.
Ryan sat on the couch. Then explain about the winter mission that will be carried out the day after tomorrow. He authorizes Ruby to be the one to strategize.
Ruby was silent. Developing a reluctant smile. His mood is really bad. She looks forward to Megan and Sarah leaving the room.
"It looks like Ruby won't talk, if we continue to be here. Come on Sarah, let's go!" megan said while changing position to stand. His essence was fixed on the cake that was on the table. "Ah, right. Ruby, can we ask you a little bit?" Megan turned her eyeballs towards Ruby.
"Take it. I don't care!" ruby finally spoke.
Megan put her mouth out. Before leaving he took the time to bring the red velvet cake on the table. There are Ryan and Ruby in the room.
"You why? Are they bothering you?" ask Ryan.
"Of course they bother me! Can you cut off your relationship with them right now?! I can't take it anymore, Ryan! The winter missions will not go smoothly, if they continue to be in front of my eyes!" reveal Ruby with a tone full of emphasis.
"Ruby, the mission won't go smoothly without them either." Ryan tried to face Ruby in a calm state.
"Where do you know?! What if things would go well without them?... I don't want to go on your winter mission, if Megan and Sarah are still around!" reply Ruby. He got up from the sofa and stood facing Ryan. The breath goes up and down in a fast tempo, due to the annoyance that begins to peak.
"Calm down, Ruby. I've made you an important member of the mission. This time you'll be with me, you don't have to be afraid of Megan and Sarah." Ryan can still control his anger well.
"Fuck it, Ryan! I can't stay dependent on you forever. Do your winter mission without me!" firmly Ruby. Then he left Ryan.
Before passing through the door, Ruby stopped her leg movement. A question suddenly appeared in his mind. She turned her body and looked back at her husband. Ryan was still sitting on the couch.
"Ryan, I'd like to ask you one more time. Are you still hesitant to break up with Megan and Sarah? Please, tell me the truth." Ruby spoke slowly this time.
Ryan felt overwhelmed. What Ruby said is true. He was still hesitant to take such a big decision as severing his relationship from the other two wives.
"I'm sorry..." Ryan emitted a shady twinkle from the look in his eyes. But it does not affect Ruby at all. The girl then went out of the room.
Not yet twenty seconds crying, Ruby immediately woke up. He won't wail for too long. Better to prepare everything to leave.
Ruby is leaving the base. He'll be gone when people are preoccupied with winter missions. Honestly, Ruby felt like her fate was the same as being out there. Even being out there might be better. Continuously staying with toxic people, will eventually kill.
Ruby's eyes are glued towards the vinyl tool. It flashed through his mind about his romantic moment with Ryan. His head immediately shook firmly. Trying to wake up, Ryan is just a selfish husband.
Geck!
Geck!
Geck!
The knocking of the door sounded. Ruby rushed to open it. It turns out the one who knocked was Gaby. The black girl apologizes on behalf of Mike to Ruby. He told me everything. Including Megan and Sarah's plans.
"They're going to give something to your food and drink. But not now, but when the winter mission will be done later" said Gaby. Attempt to convince. He held Ruby's hand.
"Mike was forced to lie to you, because Megan and Sarah threatened that I would be kicked out of the base!" Gaby bluntly.
"I understand, Gabe. You don't have to worry about me. You better take care of yourself" Ruby said as she patted Gaby's shoulder gently. His face looks sad. Ruby then closes the door, although Gaby still has not left.
Two days later. The day on which the winter mission will take place. Unlike many people who are busy preparing, Ruby chose to lock herself in the room. He didn't even come out, even though Ryan came alone to change his mind.
"Ruby, come! Don't act like a child!" Ryan was angry when he had done five times more persuasion sentences. The man even kicked at Ruby's room door about twice.
"Don't make me angry, Ruby!!!" squeal Ryan. He was silent for a moment. Until finally give up and leave. Ryan decides to go on a winter mission without Ruby.
"Now you realize how annoying a Ruby is." Megan ran over. He equated his steps with Ryan. The two walked side by side towards the basement parking lot where all of Ryan's subordinates were waiting.
Ryan did not respond to Megan's words. He chose to silence his mouth, so that his anger would not explode. Because if he can't control his temper, maybe the winter mission can get messy.
Meanwhile, in the room, Ruby was busy listening to music. He put earphones in both ears. He was deliberately unwilling to listen to the people who persuaded him at the door.
After confirming the time. Ruby took the earphones out of the ear. He slowly opened the door. Checking everyone's whereabouts. The atmosphere felt more quiet than usual.
Without a second thought, Ruby hurriedly put on thick clothes. Sweaters, coats, and not forgetting scarves that are useful to make his body warmer. Ruby doesn't care how cold the weather is out there. He was even indifferent to the danger that would befall him. Including the criminals who have tried to pursue him. What is clear, he wants to eliminate his tight-lipped taste for Megan and Sarah's torment.
"Where are you going?" a man's voice managed to shock Ruby.
