Solar Throne
Seduce Me

"Once again, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday." Surya then with straight eyes looked at Siska and there was indeed regret from what Siska caught from those eyes. Siska was indeed disappointed when Surya chose to remain at Hanna's wedding venue and seemed unconcerned by her anger at that moment.

"I am a child." Siska smiled wryly after saying so as she felt there was no need to prolong the debate on the matter.

"No, I'm the outrageous one. I always do everything I want and often ignore how you feel." Surya lowered his face as he said that. It was as if he could not return Siska's gaze. Either regret or other feelings that he is hiding, which is clear Surya like he is blurring something.

"So, Siska let's..."

"Let's break up." Cut Siska and make Surya look at her fixedly for her sudden action.

"I should have said that. I started it, so I'm also the one with the right to end." Follow Siska and let Surya know why Siska preceded him.

"I know what you're feeling and you're thinking right now. Of course I'm not a match. Miss Gina is so much more everything than me."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Surya felt that Siska was starting to clarify the meaning of his sentence now.

"You are evil to have betrayed my love. Your heart has turned, hasn't it?" Siska's eyes began to glaze over.

"I know I can't win from him." Siska's sentence is increasingly incomprehensible to Surya. But he just kept waiting for Siska's next sentence. Surya was sure Siska was not finished with her sentence.

"She has everything while I'm just an ordinary girl. It would be ridiculous if I forced myself to be more than him." Siska pulled her lips into a smile that looked very forced. The smile she used to cover her true heart.

"Siska..." Surya tried to calm Siska down and explain something to her.

"I know you like it. You like Miss Gina. Tell me, how much do you like her?" Siska began to criticize Surya with questions that he had long since pendam and he held as much as possible so that he never knew the real facts and made his heart hurt. But in the end he was tired of pretending not to know about what really happened to Surya's heart.

"It must be much bigger than me. Or maybe there's never a taste for me?" Siska stared at Surya sharply.

"Or were you just balancing me from the start?" Siska still demanded an explanation even though she knew it would hurt herself in the end.

"I thought you were just pretending to like me all this time." Siska's eyes are wet now.

"I never realized that before. But I finally know one thing. That I never got the kind of eye sight you gave him. Many times I convinced myself that it was just my feeling but things were getting clearer about it all. Not only did you enjoy your role as her husband, but after you were no longer with her, I was more convinced that I wasn't the person you liked, but she was."

"Siska, listen to me..."

"I know what you want to say. You can defend yourself as much as you can but you should know that I am a sensitive woman. I can sense that you have a difference when you're with Miss Gina. Your eyes never lie. And I saw how you saw Miss Gina in a different way than when you looked at me. It's very painful to find that." Eventually, Gina's tears spilled as well.

"You can laugh out loud when you're with him but when I'm with me I have to work hard to make you smile sincerely at me. I'm sure you didn't realize that. But that's the truth. I can feel it and it hurts so much to find it all."

All that Siska revealed was something that he had long since pacified. He persevered to stay near Surya and held it tightly so that he could always hold it. But it turns out he was wrong and made her feel tired. He felt Surya had never loved him sincerely. Siska thinks maybe that's what makes Surya never say that he loves her. At first Siska thought Surya might be the type of man who doesn't have to say and just show through attitude. But the sweet attitude Surya gave her felt very different when she saw how he behaved to Gina, paying attention to her and even worrying about her. Siska begins to realize that Surya's feelings are very different to her compared to all the attention she shows to Gina.

"Let's just end this." Siska's words while wiping her tears. She is convinced that she must release Surya when she sees him refrain from appearing before Gina while attending Hanna's wedding. Surya insisted on staying away from her rather than having to meet her. Siska knew Surya was struggling to heal his heart which was also wounded after their separation. He felt Surya became very different after separating from Gina. Not because he felt guilty, but Surya felt very broken by what he did to Gina.

"I know this is the right time. I want to let go of this burden. I've tried to keep you but my love is not as strong as your love for her. I can't reach you. The more I tried, the more I felt sick. So, I'll decide on you. It's so much better than you decided on me. So, don't try to do it. Because I'm the one who has the most right to do that to you." Siska wiped the tears that fell on her cheeks.

"I'm sorry..." That was all Surya could say because indeed everything Siska told him was completely true. He feels so stupid. Even Siska could see how she looked at Gina. Not only Siska, Hanna can see that from him and becomes aware that he is hiding his feelings for Gina, who he has kept for years alone. Because of the love that he had long been craving, Surya eventually became often unable to control it and very clearly seen what he should have hidden when he became close to Gina.

Siska walked away from Surya who was still sitting at the table. The cold cappucino that Siska ordered did not even have time to touch. He decided to leave with all his wounds. The wounds he had been hiding and hoped Surya could heal him. But the more Siska hid it, the more he felt the pain because in the end Surya could not be conquered. So that when he felt Surya would hurt more with his breakup sentence, Siska felt that he had to make it as if he was the one who cut off their relationship. His pride does not permit him if he continues to be the injured party. In the end he still wants to be the winner of the war against his own feelings by deciding which Surya he loves so much.

Gina sat on the table of the inn restaurant with a plate of breakfast in front of her. He looked serious about the food in front of him. Surya also seemed to be drinking his coffee. While Hanna was blowing her tea in a clear cup that was still blowing hot steam. Their seats near the glass windows made the sunlight freely break through and hit them.

"Again, thank you for bothering to find me all the way here, Miss. I'm sorry I've worried you." Hanna.

"No problem. I'd rather find you okay like this than just be quiet and have no idea how you really are." Gina replied as she put down her spoon after her breakfast was over.

"So, after this you're going home?"

"No Miss, I'll go home somewhere else."

"Where?" Tanya Gina was curious. Similarly with Surya who although not saying it but the eyes look wonder.

"Home to one of the relatives. I'm not going home to my parents. I don't want to make them worry and sad to know the state of my marriage right now."

"Let's stay at my house for a while. Marco will definitely not dare to harass you."

"No, Miss. I don't want to trouble you anymore. I don't want to always get you into trouble because of me. Let this matter be my and Marco's business."

"Alright if you want that. But you have to promise me that you're in trouble, make sure I'm the one you tell."

"None right." Hanna answered with a sweet smile. He was very happy to be surrounded by friends who cared about him. He knows that although Surya does not talk much, he is also a person who is ready to install the body if a friend asks for his help.

Hanna and Surya are waiting next to Surya's car. Gina was still inside picking up her phone left in the room. Hanna's initial plan, he will go home to his relatives and after that will ask for his help to return Gina's car but because Surya knows it eventually Surya asks his man to bring Gina's car. And now Gina's car is on the way home first by being driven by Surya's men.

Actually, Gina insists on driving her own car but Surya forbids and persuades Gina to obey him by handing over the car to her man.

"No Miss, you mustn't drive too long. That's so exhausting."

"You underestimated me?" Gina's tone of voice began to rise.

"It's not so, but I think it'll be quite nice if we go home together." Persuade Surya.

"Right Miss, we better go home three. That feels more exciting. Surya's the only guy anyway, so let's use him to be our driver." Hanna added to persuade Gina also with a name call for Surya because she felt Surya was now her friend, no longer her superior.

"We'll just enjoy our journey and let's torture Surya." Hanna said again. And thanks to the seduction and persuasion from Hanna, Gina finally agreed to go home using Surya's car only.

"What happened to you two?" Hanna asked Surya who was beside her, both leaned against the body of the car still waiting for Gina's arrival. Surya turned to Hanna to look at her at a glance and then looked straight ahead again.

"What?" Surya asked again pretending not to understand Hanna's question. But it actually makes Hanna's suspicions stronger because of Surya's movements like he was hiding something.

"You think I don't know the awkwardness between you?" Chase Hanna.

Last night when Gina and Surya ate fried rice together...

"I've broken up from Siska. I'm not with Siska anymore."

"Why tell me?"

"I think if two people who are both not in a relationship with someone else, they can approach. So, I'll approach you."

"So, that's why you've been around me lately?" Tanya Gina investigated. Surya looked the other way for a while and then looked at Gina again.

"That's one of them, Miss. But not all of our meetings are things that I purposely. There are times when our meetings are indeed created by fate, by accident." Surya is smiling.

Hearing Surya's confession like that should be happy, but somehow Gina's feelings become the opposite. How can it be if now his feelings become restless. Either because his feelings for Surya were not as strong as they used to be or because he still felt hurt because of the rejection Surya had done to him at that time, which Gina obviously felt was very confusing for him.

"Miss..." Calling Surya to Gina who was silent did not respond made her realize from her own mind.

"I have to go in." Answer Gina while moving. He left Surya in his place. He doesn't know how to behave.

"Is that true?" Hanna asked Surya who did not also answer her question and curiosity.

"Do you think Miss Gina will be hostile to me like she was against Marco?"

"Can. Moreover, you rejected it without such compassion." Hanna smiled looking at Surya who took a heavy breath hearing his answer. It is clearly shown how much worry there is from Surya's face if his love will be rejected by Gina. That meant that the feelings he had kept for so many years had to be dashed due to his own mistakes.

"No, I'll make her accept my love." Surya said as to himself with a foresight looking far ahead.

"It's good that you have that much confidence. Because to attract Miss Gina, you don't just need love. I think you should try really hard because Miss Gina is not an easy person to 'conquerate' after she's hurt."

"Right, I'll try harder. I don't want to regret it." Right after that Surya saw Gina coming out from inside the inn. The woman who had long since captivated her heart now even made her more agitated than before. If before he knew Gina liked him, he never expected his love would be reciprocated because he knew the distant difference between them, but now when he finds out Gina once put her heart on him and he rejects her, Surya becomes afraid that Gina will take revenge and reject his love outright and antagonize him like he is hostile to Marco. Because from Gina's response last night makes Surya think he still has a chance rejected by Gina even though maybe Gina has not completely forgotten him.

"Let's go." Take Gina when she is close while opening the back door of Surya's car.

Hanna and Surya saw that and did not dare to do anything. Surya is increasingly convinced that his expression of love for Gina seems to lead to lifelong regret. Hanna patted Surya on the shoulder like she was giving support. Either the support because maybe this is a bad sign for Surya's efforts that are approaching Gina or the support so that he does not give up and continue to fight despite whatever Gina does to him. Surya took another heavy breath and then walked past the front of the car to occupy his place as a driver.

The journey of the three of them was more filled with silence. All that is heard is the sound of music from the Surya car audio device. Gina in the back seat looked out the window. He knew once in a while Surya glanced at him from the front rearview mirror. But Gina pretended not to respond to that. He chose to try to be seen enjoying his journey without wanting to open his voice. As for Hanna, she did not know what to talk about. His heart was still in a frenzy because of his problem with Marco so not having an idea of how to melt the frozen atmosphere during the trip. His mind was also more often busy thinking about his own problems. As for Surya, he was feeling the worry of Gina's next determination. Whether accepted or rejected, both have their chances. And what he feared more was that the chances of rejection would outweigh the chances of being accepted back. That's what makes Surya occasionally steal a glance at Gina and try to find calm by looking at her face.

The journey finally ended. Hanna had arrived at the home of one of her relatives. He would stay there for some time until his mind calmed down and wanted to temporarily avoid Marco.

"Hanna, make sure I can call you if I need you." Gina said as Hanna stood next to her and just got off Surya's car.

"Well Miss, I'll give you my new phone number later."

"Hey, did you change your phone number?" Ask Gina wonder.

"It's only temporary, miss. I don't want to talk to Marco. So, I hope you also have to keep a secret about my current existence."

"All right..."

"I'm sorry, if I'm forced to take a leave of absence for my personal affairs, Miss."

"No problem. Let's just say this was a substitute for your honeymoon leave at that time."

"Thank you, Miss." Hanna smiled in response to Gina.

After saying goodbye to Hanna, Gina and Surya left the place. Surya had not dared to speak anything to Gina. He could still feel the cold aura from Gina whenever they met a glance.

"Ehhem, Miss..." Call Surya while looking at him from his front rearview mirror while his hands hold the steering wheel. Gina looked at him and when she found Surya's eyes from the rearview mirror, Gina turned her face back out of the window.

"What's wrong?" Gina answered briefly still looking out the car glass.

"What if you'd better sit in front."

"No, I like sitting here."

"But it's like I'm an online taxi driver, miss." Surya said while chuckling.

"Just be it." Gina replied still.

"You sure you don't want to move next to me?" Temptation Surya.

"Yes." Yeah." Gina was still with her indifference.

"All right..." Surya replied with a smile looking at Gina's behavior like that.

Finally, after being quiet on the way to Gina's house, they arrived at the gate. Gina asked to come down in front only. He doesn't want to have more questions if his father finds out he's been with Surya since yesterday.

"Wait, Miss." Surya prevents Gina from opening the car door. Gina finally abandoned her intentions. Then the next thing Gina saw was Surya who got down from the car and opened the door next to her seat. He sat down next to Gina who looked at him in astonishment. Gina had no idea what Surya was doing at the moment and just had to wait.

"Miss..." Surya who was already beside Gina started to make a sound.

"I'm serious about what I said yesterday. I like you." Hearing that sentence again made Gina's chest warm up.

"No, I don't like you. More than that, I've fallen in love with you. I Love You. " Gina was still silent to Surya's words to him with a heart beat jumping up and down.

"Can we restart our relationship like yesterday?" Surya's question made Gina gasp.

"We don't have to go back to being husband and wife anymore." Obviously Surya was quick before Gina could misunderstand his words.

"But let's date." Hearing that Gina's heart was jumping up and down. He is happy and worried at once. He once said he would never return to a relationship with someone who had become an ex but on the other hand his heart still holds feelings for Surya. So that at this time he became a dilemma and was again plagued by turmoil.

"Too me..." Eventually those words came out of Gina's lips. Surya fused both eyebrows when he heard his answer.
