Solar Throne
Congratulations, Hanna


Surya got off the train he was riding. After a long while he finally completely set foot back in this city. He grabbed his bag and walked out to take a taxi that drove him home.


Along the way, he looks out the window of a taxi and reminisces about some of the places he frequents. Some streets and restaurants that he used to make a place to meet relations still stand tall as a witness to each of his lobbies with other businessmen. But, the most always grab his attention is every time he passes the R-Store. His memory is still very fresh that every R-Store that stands there is a huge contribution. Especially when looking at the R-Store billboard with a picture of Gina there. Surya hopes Gina is fine now. He hoped that Gina could smile like the billboards. Because he remembered how the last time he left Gina in front of his house.


Surya keeps entering the car even though Gina cries and tries to hold him back telling her not to leave. It felt like something was piercing his chest seeing Gina's cry break just like that. From the rearview mirror of his car, Surya could see how Gina was crying while looking at her departure. Surya had a desire to stop and approach Gina, but he held it with all his might because he was afraid that if he returned he might never be able to leave her again and would stay there forever.


Surya took a breath and exhaled it slowly. His stomach was hungry because he had not had breakfast this morning. He reopened the invitation paper sent to him. It was the invitation paper that made him set foot back in this city.


"Hanna... Are you sure of your decision? You don't want to change your mind anymore?" Gina looked at Hanna's radiant face with a white kebaya attached to her body. Hanna looks really pretty coupled with her makeup this time.


"No Miss." Hanna answered with a smile on her face.


"Until now I've always imagined suddenly you refuse to marry Marco. Yeah, actually I was expecting that. But seeing how happy you are now, I'm sure the decision you made was right. And also, the playboy's like he's got the stone now. He bends your knees like a lion that has no fangs." Gina chuckles at her last words considering how Marco seems to like Hanna so much that he often comes to R-Company just to watch her work.


Gina finally realizes it after finding out that Hanna and Marco are dating. Marco once told him that work was just an excuse for him to come to R-Company. Because her main goal is just to meet Hanna who rarely even has time for her because of the busyness as Gina's assistant. Hearing that there was actually guilt in Gina's heart because it was as if she had made Hanna work so hard. Due to Gina's early inability to work in R-Company, many jobs were eventually perfected by Hanna. But as time grew, Gina began to master her work. And then Gina became president so that more and more of Gina's busyness and that means Hanna must always be there to be beside her.


Gina also held her breath when she saw the marriage contract process of Hanna and Marco. The atmosphere looks wise. Marco who is indeed a cross-faced, the more handsome with traditional Javanese clothing colors in line with the kebaya worn by Hanna. But then Gina quit the wedding. He tried not to be affected but in fact the atmosphere of wisdom made him feel carried away. The memory of his marriage with Surya that he directs has not been a year passed making his chest becomes crowded there. He then left wanting to breathe fresh air outside the building.


Gina remembered how much she hated Surya back then. Sitting next to Surya and in just an instant he instantly changed his status. From the status of single to double, his wife, mistress Surya, and other words that made him sick. But at the moment Gina just hopes she can turn the time back. If he knew he would fall in love with Surya in the end, perhaps he would be patient with the days he considered sickening at the time. So that he has plenty of time to seize Surya's heart and can resist to stay with him.


But of course it was an unreasonable thought that perched inside his head. To regret that, Gina already had no more energy. Heartbreak seizes his feelings so he only tries to immediately move on from Surya and wants to live the days comfortably. Days without love. He would let his heart be silent at this moment. He is not ready to fall in love again. He felt tired of the feelings he had so often exploited. So this time Gina decided to rest her heart by not falling in love with any man anymore.


The wedding ceremony was over, all the guests who attended this session were only family and close friends. Hanna asks Gina to be present as her close friend so she also comes during the event. Now, after feeling her feelings better, Gina enters the event building again. From the direction of the entrance, Gina saw Hanna greeting her friends. He chose to sit in one corner of the room. Some people started to enjoy the dishes that were on the other side of the room. But Gina was not eating. He was just happy to see Hanna beaming like that. Her smile expands perfectly when greeting the guests. Sometimes he laughs when he talks to his friends. Just this time Gina saw the other side of a Hanna. While working she is a calm but firm girl, today Gina sees the cheerful side of Hanna. It seems like it's because Hanna is so happy that she can't hide her tone.


"Why stay here?" Asked the voice that suddenly was beside Gina, sitting on one of the chairs.


"What do you expect of me? Singing in place of a wedding singer there? I'll make sure all your guests will escape after hearing my voice. I even fals while singing 'my balloon is five'." Gina then chuckled after saying all that.


"Don't. Then don't do it." Marco laughed too.


"You're still the same, you never change. This is the Gina I know. Beautiful but fierce." Gina glared at Marco


"Hey, that's what you are. You can't be angry because of my criticism. A man of great spirit will receive every criticism from others." Marco commented after seeing his reaction.


"But even so, you are a good person and always behave as you are. You are also a consistent person. Even you still consistently hate me to this day." Marco then laughed. Gina smiled looking at Marco who was laughing like that.


"Once again, stop laughing. Remember my message." Marco stopped his laughter and turned to look at Gina seriously.


"What's? To take care of Hanna?" Marco guessed what Gina had in mind.


"Without asking, I would do it. She was the first woman to make me realize that love is not only about feelings but also struggles. I chased after her until begging to be her boyfriend but Hanna rejected me many times. I have to fight a lot to get it. But finally my struggle was sweet. In the end, either because she was tired or sorry for me, Hanna accepted my love. He gave me conditions, it didn't take 2 or 3 times, once I betrayed his love then I'm done." Marco's story and makes Gina know the love story of his men as well.


"You are right, love is not only a feeling but also needs a struggle. But sometimes not everything can go our way. Struggle is not always sweet." Gina smiled bitterly considering what she was going through. That he had tried to attract Surya to get his love but Surya chose to end it and force Gina to stop fighting.


Hanna's wedding reception was held on the same day and in the same building. After changing her clothes, Hanna returned with a new appearance of a very beautiful nude colored dress. All eyes were on Hanna and Marco entering the building again. They were paraded to go to a very magnificent temple there. Hanna briefly commented a smile at Gina as she passed in front of her. Gina retorted with her two thumbs up gesturing that Hanna looked quite extraordinary.


After Hanna sat down at the table, Gina approached the tables containing the dishes. Since this morning Gina did not eat anything so that when the day began to noon, her stomach felt rumbling. And Gina was stunned when she saw the dishes in front of her. On one of the tables there are various angkringan side dishes. Without thinking Gina then approached the table and took one cat rice. He also took a variety of satayans for him to move into his plate. Gina enjoyed it so much and didn't want to stop until someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.


"Hey, R-Company's boss is collecting angkringan." Devon, a high school friend who is also Marco's friend.


"Hi..." Sapa Gina also with food still in her mouth.


"How many pricks did you spend?" Appoint Melly, his high school friend who came with Devon. Hearing that Gina was just a whimper and did not answer because there was already a lot that went into her mouth.


Friends wedding is usually an impromptu reunion event. Friends during school will surely be many who will attend the invitation. So are Marco's friends who are Gina's friends. But Marco did not invite many friends and only those who are still in frequent contact with him until now.


"So, you were at the wedding of the ex-boyfriend you had been fighting for a long time? Does this mean you've really made up?" Ask Melly after drinking the drink that was in her hand.


"His wife?" Tanya Melly was curious.


"Yes, Marco's wife is my best friend."


"really? You're friends with Marco's wife?"


"really. And I've been trying to separate my best friend from Marco. But of course God's destiny no one can change, let alone just me." Gina then chuckled. Devon laughs in response to the sentence ***** Gina.


Just then a woman poked her shoulder. Gina reflex. It was Sunday that came with Faris.


"Hi, you're here." Sapa Sunday's.


"I'm the organizer of the event so it comes a lot faster than you." Sunday laughed at his joke. His two friends also smiled to see Gina who had been trying to be funny.


"We have to congratulate Mr. Marco and his wife. Excuse me." Pamit Faris, who was followed by Sunday, waved to Gina earlier. Gina gave him a welcoming smile. Then he continued the conversation with his two friends.


It's getting night. The invited guests were only a few people left. Gina, who had been left by her friends, just sat alone in a chair. Then he sees Hanna being alone with Marco starting to come down from the undercover. Gina then approached the newlyweds.


"Again, congratulations to you both." Gina said while hugging Hanna.


"Thank you, Miss." Reply Hanna hugging.


"Marco, you know, no, what kind of person I am. Once you make Hanna sad, you end up in the hospital." Threaten Gina who invites laughter Marco.


"It's so scary." Marco said with a sigh.


"Alright, Miss. I promise I'll always make her happy." Marco embraces Hanna's shoulder and looks at her lovingly. Seeing that, Gina turned her face away. Marco has changed. It's not like before.


"You don't have to worry. Leave her happiness to me. I take full responsibility for that."


"Good, I keep your promise." Gina then reached out to shake Marco's hand.


"Well, this is a sign that we're friends too, right?" Marco smiled widely.


"You can't make Hanna uncomfortable with your hatred for me. If you're friends with Hanna, that means you should be friends with her husband, too."


"Hahh, this is your mode." Gina smiled wryly in response to Marco's remark.


"Hanna would have been happier if we were good friends, too. Isn't that right, honey?" Marco asks Hanna for support.


"Yes, Miss. Let's all be friends." Hanna Pinta.


"All right. all right. 'cause you asked for it on your wedding day, I'll take it for you." Gina replied giving up 'attacked' by the two people in front of her.


"This once you use your wife to seduce me. And also, don't expect you to be able to use it in terms of work. That's not gonna work. Business is business. There's no relationship in it." Hearing that Marco laughed loudly because he felt he had immediately received an ultimatum from Gina.


After that Gina bade to leave the party that was almost over. Exit the building and approach his car parked in the basement of the hotel building.


As soon as Gina, Hanna saw a tall man walking towards her. Hanna smiled at him.


"Why is it too late?" Ask Surya.


"Technically I'm not late. It's just that I delayed approaching you." The answer. Hanna raised both eyebrows hearing Surya's words.


"I've been coming since. But, I must keep my promise." Hanna finally knows what makes Surya deliberately late to meet him.
