jQuery draggable: Stop dragging when mouse out of parent

Please check out this jsFIDDLE

<div id="wrapper">
    <div class="item">
        <div class="button_area"></div>
        <div class="icon"></div>
    </div>

    <div class="item">
        <div class="button_area"></div>
        <div class="icon"></div>    
    </div>
</div>​

This is the html code, and I am dragging the .button_area:

$('.button_area').draggable({});

It is working as it is suppused to except for one thing. When I click on the red area (in the second yellow square) and start dragging toward left (first yellow square) I want it to stop the drag process when the mouse gets over second yellow square (parent).... not the draggable object (helper)... THE MOUSE.

    Thanks guys.

    $( ".button_area" ).draggable({});

$(".item").mouseout(function() {
    $( '.button_area' ).draggable( 'option',  'revert', true ).trigger( 'mouseup' );
});
