Solar Throne
Passing Boundaries

"So, I'll be the one to cross all those boundaries."

Surya stood in his place after hearing that before he finally took the distance from Gina to stir the chicken stew he made.

"Evening is ready, miss. Let's eat." Surya scooped the vegetable and put it in a vegetable bowl to be brought to the dining table. Seeing that Gina corner her lips because she felt ignored by Surya. But then he thought one thing.

He dodged. That nice. He may not know what to do. He might also need some time to decide. That good. Because at least I was in his consideration. Surya is a smart enough person to understand what I mean. So, he would definitely determine his attitude later on. Must stick to that limit or welcome me to nullify all of its limitations. Gina smiled looking at Surya who was setting the dining table.

🌸🌸🌸

Surya lay on the sofa looking into the room with the door closed where Gina was.

"I'll be the one to cross all those boundaries."

Gina's sentence came back very suddenly. Surya wanted to interpret it as a statement of Gina's feelings but he did not want to be confident in getting it. Gina was the girl who had once rejected him in such a way that might now express feelings to him.

Surya changed his sleeping position by tilting his body. He closed his eyes and intended to sleep. But Gina's face when she looked at him earlier until now could still make her chest warm up. He knew it was a mistake. He shouldn't have felt that. There is a heart that he must take care of and a feeling that he protects from ever being hurt. But, Gina so clearly showed her sincerity. Surya's fear is getting real now.

In the room, Gina was unable to sleep. He doesn't know what to do with Surya tomorrow. Surya could certainly read the meaning. He had already given Surya the code, so Gina could not retract her attitude to pretend nothing had happened. If it turns out to be sweet as people fall in love, it would be a shame because Gina once denied Surya's existence in her marriage. But if Gina behaves as if selling expensive, it will definitely make Surya confused and take Gina not seriously with what she said. Of course it is also dangerous because Surya will completely ignore Gina's feelings and keep her heart for Hanna without being able to be disturbed by her statement earlier.

"Stop that..." Gina finally covered the blanket up to the top of her head and tried to close her eyes hoping to fall asleep soon.

🌸🌸🌸

Mr. Rangga put his reading glasses on the nightstand and after that he also closed the book he had read earlier. He saw Bu Marina who entered the room with a pouting face.

"What's wrong?" Ask Mr. Rangga who saw his wife's face signifies a bad thing happened to him.

"There's nothing." Bu Marina then lay down beside him.

Mr. Rangga does not necessarily believe just like his wife's answer. He has known the woman for decades so he knows very well whatever changes are happening to him, as well as his face tonight which implies something is bothering him.

Ms. Marina still pretended that nothing had happened to her even though her heart was still numb to see how Gina and Surya were shopping together at the supermarket.

Bu Marina enters the supermarket with Mbak Yuyun following behind her. They immediately walked towards the shelf after Mbak Yuyun pulled one of the trolleys. But as they put some basic necessities into the trolley, Ms. Yuyun exclaimed to her employer.

"Miss, isn't that Miss Gina?" Point Madam Yuyun in a direction. Bu Marina followed the index finger of her housekeeper pointing.

Unknowingly, Bu Marina walked after Gina and Surya who were chatting while walking to pick up the food ingredients they needed. They look happy together like that. Occasionally Gina smiled looking at Surya while saying something. Surya also replied to her with a smile and also a nod. Every now and then Surya also took something that was on the shelf and put it into a trolley. They are like any other normal couple.

Until finally Gina passed the tester table of a processed food and stopped there. It is a processed food tester of a kind sausage, nugget, meatballs and many more kinds.

"Please try, Miss." A food tester guard invited. Gina then took a small piece of sausage with a skewer prepared there and ate it.

"How, Miss?" Ask the food tester guards for Gina's opinion. Surya is also waiting for his comment.

"Nob." Gina said still with the rest of the sausage in her mouth.

"Surya, try." Gina took one more piece but this time to give it to Surya. Gina thrusts into Surya's mouth and makes him have to open his mouth to receive it. Surya was feeling something in his mouth as carefully as a chef tasting a dish.

"Nob." Comment Solar.

"Is this made of a material with a mixture of milkfish?" Surya asked the guard of the tester table.

"Yes, sir." Answer the tester guard kindly.

"Well, your senses are really good." Praise Gina with a big smile looking at Surya in awe.

"I think it's just a regular sausage made from beef."

"No Miss, it tastes stronger and the smell is different too."

"Yes, I'm not as smart as you are." Gina is now trying another piece that is a nugget.

"It's delicious too. Is this also from the fish base?" Gina asked the guard of the tester table.

"Yes, Miss. Everything that is processed by this product is made from fish."

Surya tried but this time he took it himself with a skewer that he took on the table.

"What fish is this time?" Gina asked Surya because she could not feel as good as Surya.

"It's from tilapia."

"Well, you can know that." The gleeful tester table guard saw Surya could guess as well.

Surya then took the meatballs with a skewer in his hand. Gina looked at Surya who was chewing and waiting for this time what fish basic ingredients were used for the processed food. It's like a quiz that has to guess the taste. Gina was seriously waiting for Surya's answer from what her senses were capturing.

"It looks like a milkfish too." Surya commented while looking at Gina to tell him.

"Yes, that's right." The guard table tester justifies the analysis of Surya.

"Hey, why don't you just be a chef." Gina sneered and was met with a big smile by Surya who then took another meatball by his prick.

"Try, Miss. It's delicious." Surya feeds the meatballs to Gina's mouth.

"Let's take this too." Surya picked up some of that processed food packaging and put it in a trolley.

After that they walked towards the snack rack. Bu Marina and Mbak Yuyun who watched them from the not far row of shelves were still watching until they were invisible to the shelves blocking visibility. Bu Marina accidentally did not greet Gina and Surya just enough to keep an eye on them. Ms. Yuyun who like to know what her employer is doing is just following. Though in his heart he was eager to greet Gina and talk to her. A few days of not staying home made him miss Gina who was often nosy but also very good to him.

"It's so sweet." Mbak Yuyun smiled looking at Gina and Surya who were already invisible after. But then Madam Yuyun pretended to pick up a bag of sugar near her standing as Bu Marina glared at her.

"This sugar is so sweet, madam. Let's just take this one." Ma'am Yuyun turned her attention because it would be dangerous if her employer was angry with her for praising Gina and Surya like that.

The sight he saw was really disturbing his mind at this moment. Gina and Surya are getting closer and closer to make Bu Marina more worried. Worrying if the two of them will eventually feel like they have each other and don't want to part. Then R-Company will forever be in the hands of Surya and Gina will only always be number two there. Bu Marina is really not willing if the only daughter who should be the sole heir would instead just be a stranger in R-Company.

"Mama misses Gina?" Ask Mr. Rangga to Ms. Marinya who sleeps on her back.

"Yes, this house is very quiet without Gina." Said Bu Marina weakly while turning over her body.

"So soon tell him to come home."

Right, that's the answer to the question in Mr. Rangga's head since. It turned out that there was really something his wife was thinking about right now.

"Let him there first." Mr. Rangga replied casually while turning on the TV with a remote in his hand after knowing what his wife was thinking to make his mood not good.

"How could Papa casually say that."

"of course. What do I have to do?"

"Papa didn't even let Gina sleep separately from Surya, but why now instead let her live somewhere else? Wouldn't that make them do everything they want?" Persuade Bu Marina to influence her husband.

"Because it's time they did what they wanted. They are also married, so I don't have to worry about them. I should've let them live together long ago."

"Why not really worry about anything?"

"No. I expect a lot from them."

"Papa's sure it's in line with what Papa expects?"

"I'm trying to get them to do whatever they want so just let them." Mr. Rangga was still relaxed as he said that.

Bu Marina was upset to hear Mr. Rangga's comments that relaxed. He knows what makes Mr. Rangga so. That must be because Mr. Rangga also realized what happened to Gina. That now Gina has fallen in love with Surya so what Pak Rangga expected for Gina finally likes Surya. Bu Marina had suspected that Mr. Rangga would be happy like that so inevitably he would make a secret plan that is unknown to anyone in order to separate Gina from Surya. However, his precious daughter should not be with Surya.

🌸🌸🌸

"Miss, it's still dark." Surya said when looking out the window with eyes that still feel dark to open.

"But it's 5 in the morning." Said Gina who stood beside Surya sleeping and trying to wake him up.

"really?" Surya saw the clock in his hand and the right clock has shown at 5. But somehow this morning still looks dim. He got up and walked to the side terrace. Sliding the glass door and out looking at the sky this morning.

"The sky is a little dim this morning." Mumbled himself.

"Let's run in the morning. It's Sunday so we have to exercise outside." Surya turned his body and looked at Gina.

Something was wrong with Gina this morning. Surya was astonished because he looked so excited. Gina who usually likes to spend time lazing around on holidays, this time suddenly wants to run out in the morning.

"Hey, what are you doing there? Quickly change your clothes." Gina walked up to Surya.

"Do you want to run in the morning in this shirt?" Point Gina at the T-Shirt and Surya's trousers.

"Well, Miss, I'll change my clothes." Surya finally complied and walked towards his room.

Gina in her sportswear was standing at the door of Surya's house waiting for her to come out. After a while of waiting, Surya finally came out of the house with sports clothes and a fresh face after washing his face. The front of the hair that had touched the water looked rather wet. I don't know why that looker became something interesting for Gina. Like there's a charm of its own every Surya looks like that.

"Let's Miss." Bring Surya. Gina nodded her head in agreement and began to step off the terrace of Surya's house.

Gina ran small as Surya locked the fence of her house. But he then looked up at the sky that looked increasingly dark and now even accompanied by dropping drizzle water.

"Mistress, Miss." Surya cried while looking at Gina who also looked up to look at the small water that was washing her now.

"Yes." Yeah." Gina replied while putting both of her palms over her head.

"How's it?" Surya's signal asked Gina for her opinion on whether morning exercise continued or was stopped.

"Mistakes only. I guess..." Not done yet Gina spoke, the rain began to fall heavily.

This time Surya did not ask for Gina's opinion again and re-locked the gate to open so that they could go back inside the house. When the gate opened Surya and Gina ran to the terrace of the house to save themselves from the rain. But unfortunately the rain that was too heavy had managed to make them drenched in just an instant.

Arriving on the terrace of the house, Surya rubbed his wet hair and also sports clothes that are no less wet. He rubbed his wet hair hoping that the water that stuck could soon disappear.

"Hard to believe. How can a weekend morning be rained like this. It really is disappointing." Said Gina while still busy wagging the front of her wet clothes. It does not sound authentic from Surya but what Gina feels is even a splash of water coming from her hair partly about Gina who is standing next to her.

Feeling that Gina then turned to Surya with a manyun face because it had wet his face. But upon seeing Surya, Gina's manyun face turned into a dumb-ass face. The wet hair dangling on Surya's face made her look charming. Gina's heart rippled to see that. Love can indeed make something ordinary look very special. Perhaps others would be ordinary to see Surya's current appearance, but that didn't apply to Gina. Gina always liked Surya with such wet hair.

Surya, you made me want to break boundaries again. Inner Gina.
