"I like you. You don't have to be surprised let alone overwhelmed by my feelings because I'm going to give you time to feel how I feel about you." Surya was astonished by Gina's sudden expression of love. She could not believe Gina was saying something she did not suspect at all.

"Ehem..." Solar's esophagus is like dry to say anything.

"Miss... You know I'm like this."

"Of course I know that. But the truth is I really like you. If you think it's easy for me, you're wrong. I've tried not to like you and it's pretty hard so here's what happens now." Gina explained very honestly about what had happened to her all along.

"I don't care if you're with Siska. I will love you in my own way. I promise I won't interfere with your relationship with him. I'll love you with sportsmanship." Gina smiled at Surya who was still confused at him at this moment. He wanted to know what the man was thinking about him.

"Let's eat. I'm so hungry." Finally Gina stood up from her seat and walked first leaving Surya who had not yet moved from the long bench. He deliberately let Surya not give another expression. Gina really did not want Surya to reject her especially in this fast time before Gina made another attempt to withdraw her heart.

Gina accidentally left Surya because she felt like she could not survive anymore. He took a deep breath and exhaled it strongly as well. His chest would explode if he had been there longer. While walking further away Gina felt her face that felt warm as if she was having a fever. His smile continued to expand considering that he had just expressed his feelings to Surya. A decision that was not sudden but Gina had already considered it.

🌸🌸🌸

It was late tonight but Surya had not yet entered the room. Gina was still lying down and could not close her eyes. Suddenly he was worried. Whether his decision to express feelings to Surya is right or vice versa and makes Surya so reluctant with him. Slowly there was a sense of regret sneaking in his heart.

Gina just doesn't want to repeat the same mistake when she likes Faris. This time he wants to mess with Surya's heart by showing her that besides Siska, there are other women who also like him. He just needs to be as good and gentle as possible to get close to Surya's heart without him feeling like he is trying to snatch it from Siska. Yeah, that's what Gina's gonna do.

Finally, through midnight Surya entered the room. Slowly and very carefully he opened the door. Not wanting to make a sound that was too noisy so that it could wake Gina up.

"Where are you?" Gina's voice shocked her. Surya who was about to enter the bathroom then stopped.

"Hey, you've been exercising?" Tanya Gina who saw Surya's clothes wet on some parts. Gina was already sitting leaning against the head of the bed right now. Seeing him was full of wonder at what Surya was doing.

"Yes Miss. I was too full after eating so I wanted to sweat a little before going to bed." Surya answered and then he entered the bathroom.

"Is he dieting? Just a piece of grilled chicken and fries." Gina muttered remembering the portion of Surya dinner last night.

"Aren't I the one who should have been exercising earlier." Gina remembers everything and how much she put into her stomach while eating.

Surya breathed heavily. He looked in the mirror in the bathroom and saw his own face. Siska who loves him so much and is always afraid of losing him and also Gina who has just expressed love for him. He should have felt so flattered to be loved by two beautiful women like them. But it just made him feel fucked. He could not walk with both of them but he also did not want to hurt any of them.

Surya remembers how Gina was heartbroken because of her love for Faris clapping her hands. He took sleeping pills to over dose because he wanted to end his life. What if he broke his heart once again? What if Gina does it again? But he also cannot accept Gina's statement with an open heart because Surya already has Siska who also loves him. They have been in a relationship long enough and it is not easy for them to just end up just because of the presence of a third person. Surya turned on the shower faucet and flushed his throbbing head thinking about the problem of romance that was happening to him.

🌸🌸🌸

Gina and Surya enter the lobby of the R-Company. Almost all eyes are on them. The photo that spread yesterday must have been a trending topic until now. There must be a lot of mouths talking about those who seem to be involved in a love triangle scandal. Actually Gina felt uncomfortable with such a thing but she had to try not to be affected and still look tough as usual.

"I'm sorry, Miss." Surya whispers to Gina who walks beside him.

"For?"

"You must be uncomfortable with this kind of atmosphere." Surya answered exactly as if he could read Gina's mind.

"You know I'm great. So, this doesn't affect me at all."

"Good, Miss." Surya smiled at how Gina had always behaved like that on many occasions, including this time.

"You don't have to worry about me. Just worry about yourself. When I see how great I am, I can't keep your heart all right." Gina whispered then smiled widely with high confidence. Like a Gina he had known for a long time. Surya returned Gina's wry smile in response to the sentence she said. Gina is so funny with her confidence. Again Surya did not think he could know this kind of person.

They enter the elevator and mingle with other employees who also use it to go upstairs. There is no more discussion because they do not want employees who have been gossiping about them since yesterday to increase again to have new materials for them to chat.

When he arrived at the floor of his room, Surya walked up to Siska's desk and as usual he greeted her as if the superior to the subordinates.

"For Sir..." Reply Siska with her smile which this morning looks different.

"Siska, go to my room for a second." Surya said before he opened the door to his room.

"Good, sir." Answer Siska respectfully.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Ask Surya to Siska who is now in her room gives her lover a chance to say what she wants to say. Surya does not want to during work, Siska is burdened with something in his mind and makes him unable to work quietly.

Siska who had originally lowered her head now began to look at Surya straight.

"Can we talk after work? Somewhere else." Strictly Siska who seems like a lot he wants to talk about so ask for time and place other than in the office that will be limited time and talks. They won't be able to talk much if they have to at work.

"All right." Surya replied while smiling. After that Siska pampit to go to his desk again in front of Surya's room.

Finally Surya experienced also a troublesome thing like this. Dealing with the women around him. And he just started turning on the laptop, a message came in.

Hanna: I have something to talk to you about. When can you?

Another woman was nearby and asked for her time. Hanna. What he wanted to talk about, it seemed like Surya had also guessed.

"Hanna..." Call Gina behind her desk. Hanna put the phone she just held onto the table.

"Yes Miss." Sahut Hanna's.

"Do you think I look too aggressive?" Gina continues after telling Hanna that she has expressed her feelings for Surya.

"Mmm.. as a wife, to the exclusion of all the things that happened before, you can do that. But..." Hanna hung up her sentence like she was hesitant to continue. Gina raised her eyebrows confused by Hanna's attitude and wished she had said everything she wanted to say.

"You know Mr. Surya has a lover and the worst possibility is that Mr. Surya still cannot turn to you."

"I'll make him turn to me."

"But you can't just do it. There's another woman's heart you have to take care of." This time Hanna's words sounded high. It seems that Hanna does not agree with the behavior of her superiors. Gina looked at Hanna straight.

"I'm sorry, Miss. I just... just look at it from my objective point of view."

Gina knows Marco who is a playboy so it must not be easy for Hanna to survive with him until now. He must have often found Marco walking with other women and of course it hurt him. So when Hanna saw Gina trying to snatch Surya from Siska, she could feel what Siska was going to feel afterwards.

"Hanna, but, do you know this isn't fair to me?" Gina stood up from where she was sitting and walked over to Hanna at her desk. Hanna looked at Gina who was getting closer to her now.

"I liked Surya before I even knew she had a boyfriend. And anyone can't easily stop after starting it. Starting my love feelings for Surya." Gina Clear.

Hanna realizes that Gina is not entirely guilty. Everything Gina said to him was true. It would be very unfair if it was now telling Gina to suddenly stop liking Surya and let it go with Siska just like that. Especially judging from the nature of Gina who does not give up easily and try to get what she wants, of course, it is not an easy matter for her.

"I already liked Surya and as a punishment for him who had lied claimed not to have a lover at that time, I will pursue his love. Trying to attract her attention and will make her reconsider my love for her." Hanna said nothing more to Gina's words and felt that that was what Gina wanted to do to express her disappointment to Surya who turned out to have a secret lover.

🌸🌸🌸

Gina was cleaning the table when her phone rang. From Surya. Seeing the clock as soon as she called, Gina knew what Surya would say as usual.

"No need to drive me with a driver. I'll just take a cab." Gina immediately opened her voice before Surya even said his intention was to contact this time.

"Sorry, Miss. I have business tonight."

"Go and don't have to worry about me. I can do it myself."

"But it would be better if the driver would deliver you."

"I'm going home with Hanna. Is being with my personal assistant any less good?"

"Oh well if you want to." Gina put the phone in her pocket after the conversation. Hanna looked at Gina whom she had heard about going home with her.

"Do you mind if I come home with you?"

"Of course not, Miss" Hanna's sentence with a fluffy smile showed Gina that she would be happy to drive her home.

Gina sat next to Hanna with a view out of the car that was walking down the city streets. The sun is no longer visible and leaves only a reddish tinge in the evening sky. Gina thinks maybe Surya can't come home fast because he's away with Siska. That thought filled his brain from earlier. Jealousy that seeped into his heart like hundreds of pinch that he got so painful.

"Miss, shall we have dinner first?" Hanna's voice broke the silence ever since Gina silently daydreamed like that. Actually Hanna felt uncomfortable seeing the usual chatty Gina turn quiet so.

"Can too. What are we eating?" Gina answered, her face changed, hearing Hanna's invitation. Hanna feels funny with Gina's drastic change in attitude.

"I know a good seafood place to eat around here, Miss."

"Oh yeah? I'm always through here but I don't know."

"It just opened a moment ago, Miss."

"Have you ever been there?"

"Yes Miss. And the sweet sour crab is amazing." Hanna told me enthusiastically.

"But personally I prefer the seafood hodgepodge."

"Whatis that? You sure seafood can be made hodgepodge?" Tanya Gina was curious.

"That's just a name, miss. Actually it's just a variety of shellfish, shrimp, crab cooked with sweet sour seasoning, pasture sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper sauce and there's some more sauce I forgot."

"Well, that's very tempting. Let's go over there." Gina looks so excited. And indeed, when it comes to food, Gina is always very enthusiastic about talking about it.

Upon arrival in the parking lot Gina saw a fence with a pendopo-shaped gate. After getting out of the car, he and Hanna immediately entered the unique concept restaurant. Gina saw there were many gazebos in a very spacious garden. Decorative lights not only hung on top of Gina's stand but also in some places that gave a dim light. A waitress leads Gina and Hanna to an empty gazebo near the entrance gate while putting water on the table.

"The concept is unique." Gina said as she sat down in the gazebo with the light of the lamp.

"Yes, Miss. Both alone or a great crowd can be in this place." Obviously Hanna while looking around which several gazebos had been occupied by visitors. Just then Hanna saw an unexpected sight.

"Other times let's come here again in a crowd. I'll take Surya and you take Bayu too." It was Gina's chirps that made Hanna look at him straight. Gina then realized something.

"Oh yeah, your boyfriend would be jealous if you were with Bayu." Gina pursed her lips because her plan was not going to happen.

"But to be with Marco too I'm not sure I can." Hanna just smiled in response to Gina's sentence that was always so honest when it came to her boyfriend.

"Miss, can I switch places?"

"Why?" Gina asked in surprise suddenly Hanna asked her to switch sitting positions.

"I was too glared at the lamp." Hanna pointed at the lamp that was attached to the wall.

"It seems like too long in front of the laptop makes my eyes a little sensitive to light, Miss."

"All right." Gina then shifts her body to switch places with Hanna.

Soon their orders came. Two waitresses came up with a large tray of seafood black pepper sauce and the drink they ordered earlier. One of the waiters served food and drinks on the table and also all the cutlery for seafood that was not enough if only using the spoon and fork.

"I think I'm gonna get a seafood hangover after this." Said Gina with sparkling eyes looking at the food presented in front of her. The two waitresses have already left them now.

"Good meal, Miss." Hanna while taking the shrimp with her hands.

Indeed seafood is served to eat by hand so that it will feel more delicious and easier to eat because it must peel seafood before putting it in the mouth.

Gina and Hanna ate with occasional chats. They really are like friends when outside of working hours like this. Very familiar with casual chatter and a little joke. Until someone passes them. Just then Gina smelled a very familiar scent to him. Gina turned around and saw two people walking towards the gate.

"Surya..." Murmured Gina who was convinced that it was Surya and Siska who were walking further and further away from her place.
