Surya drove his car across the highway this afternoon. His face was full of smiles with the accompaniment of One Republic's I Ain't Worried song. He was on his way to a place and hoped to arrive on time. And when he arrived at the place he was headed, Surya then turned his luxury car into the basement parking area that used to be very familiar with it. He saw the watch in his hand at almost 5 p.m. Gina should be here soon to come home. Surya was still in his car while waiting for Gina.
Not long after that Gina actually showed up. He walks with Hanna in his favorite stileto, which makes a ticking sound on the basement floor. Surya then opens the car door and exits the car to greet Gina. From the direction Gina walked, Surya saw Gina finally knew she was there. Surya greeted Gina with a smile. It made Surya look perfect in Gina's eyes. White T-Shirt with flannel shirt patterned as outer box and light blue denim pants. Gina felt Surya was starting to look casual now.
"Miss, I'm sorry to go home." Pamit Hanna who looks like she wants to give her boss space so she can be alone with Surya who is also her best friend.
"Yes." Yeah." Gina replied while commenting on a welcoming smile.
"Come, sir." Not to forget Hanna said goodbye to Surya and used formal language. Surya nodded and smiled before Hanna then entered her own car.
"I don't think you can really move on from R-Company." Gina's greeting words after him and Surya are only a few steps away now.
"Or because of all the years that you've been in office here so you still hallucinate working here." This time Gina's sentence made Surya laugh a little. How not, Gina's speech does contain a cuteness for Surya.
"You're right, Miss. I have not been able to move on from this place and make me often hallucinate that makes me always come here. My heart is like being left here. My heart is carried away by you."
Cess, it's like something's wetting Gina's heart. It was quite refreshing and made him smile at a glance because his feeling of pleasure seemed to spill so much that he could not control his expression.
"The more days your combating ability gets scarier." Gina said after starting to master her feelings again.
"What does that mean you're afraid of being lured by my ability to fight?" Surya said with a smile by showing off a row of neat teeth and bright brown eyes hit by basement lights. Gina became more and more wrong.
"Ahh come on, what are you doing here?"
"Waiting for You." Surya's answer made Gina frown.
"Why?"
"I was restless all day. I've missed you." Surya's sentence this time really made Gina even more anxious to him.
"Now we meet. That's enough, isn't it?" Gina said as she passed leaving Surya to get to her car.
"No, Miss. Actually I also want to take you somewhere."
"Where?" Gina turned body.
And this is where Gina is now. At Surya's Angkringan Rejo stall with an elongated crowd of visitors. Gina was still standing in the outer area of the stall with eyes of disbelief by the sight before her. Gina's vegetables heard the music from inside.
"Then, what does this mean? You 'kidnap me' to come here?" Gina was confused why she invited him to this very crowded stall.
"Today is the inauguration day of the stall, Miss. So the queue extends like this." Said Surya who was standing on Gina's side.
On one side of the shop there is a banner with the words 'Buy 1 free 1'. Then Gina felt it made sense. That is one of the marketing tricks that Surya also uses in R-Company every new R-Store opening. And until now, the marketing trick is also still used.
Then someone caught Gina's attention. A singer and an organist were in front of the stall. They seem to be presenting entertainment for visitors who come especially for those who are still waiting in line. Surya has always been good at this. He has creative ideas to attract customers so that he can develop his business as well. Gina watched them and Surya knew it.
"I want to keep visitors in line entertained, Miss. In order to wait as if they were watching a small concert. They can also ask for the song they want or even sing there. Duet with the singer can also. You might want to sing?" Fresh Surya seduces Gina.
"No thanks, I'd look too perfect if I could sing too." Surya laughs at Gina's jokes that have narcissistic elements.
"Then, let's go in, Miss." Take Surya by pulling Gina's hand. Gina felt like she was electrocuted when Surya's fingers touched her fingers. The touch of their hands can now be more defined as joining hands. Almost everyone who was queuing in front of the stall saw them. Gina felt uncomfortable when it was as if she was the center of attention. He walked while bowing his head to slightly cover his face.
Surya then took Gina to sit at an empty table. Gina felt astonished because there were many people waiting in line but there was still a table inside that she could occupy.
"Please sit down, Miss. I'll have the kids bring me a dish. I'll help there." Surya told Gina and turned around to leave her.
"What does it mean to try? He brought me here just to eat alone while watching him serve the buyer? You're a show-offer." Muttered Gina who thought that Surya was taking her to tell her that he opened a new angkringan stall again. So it is increasingly clear how successful Surya even though it does not need to work in R-Company anymore.
Gina then sat down while enjoying the crowd around her. The visitors eat well. Starting from young people to people with old age are there enjoying angkringan Rejo accompanied by songs from female singers and male singers in front of the stall. Gina also enjoyed the song they sang in the duet. This time they are singing a song called Until the End, which is a song owned by Judika sung with Duma Riris.
"Love promised to always accompany me
When you're sad when you cry"
The song felt very good to hear and made Gina without feeling singing in some stanzas that she remembered the lyrics.
"As long as my breath is still crunching
And my heart keeps calling your name beautiful
Never will this heart ever be double
Until the end of this life"
From where she sat, Gina saw Surya walking towards her. While carrying a tray containing a glass of warm tea and a plate of rice crackers.
"Please Miss, while waiting for the main course, please enjoy a snack first."
"You want to make me fat, right?" Gina looked at Surya sharply.
"I like you for who you are. So, even being fat doesn't diminish my liking for you." Hearing Surya's words Gina became wrong.
"Speak what you're talking about." Gina really couldn't hide her archived expression even though she knew it was a very spare seduction.
"Alright, please enjoy the snack first."
"You want to leave me again?"
"Just help them, miss. Looks like they're quite a hassle."
"Then you shouldn't have brought me here if it would just be a display here."
"So, stay here. You can also monitor me. Watch me while I'm busy. I'm glad to get that." Gina could not say anything more. His feelings are completely overpowered by every sweet sentence of Surya.
Surya also returned to the angkringan table and helped his employees to serve the buyers. They appear to be serving as quickly as possible so that buyers can immediately alternate with those still waiting in line outside. Even Surya also gives bonus drinks again in addition to buy 1 free 1 for the buyers who buy to take home.
"Why did you give them an edge that might even cost you the first day of sales?" Gina asked earlier when she saw a banner that read 'Buy 1 Free 1' in front of Surya's shop once arrived.
"Miss, that's what I made with a purpose."
"What?"
"In addition to opening, I also make it a Thanksgiving event. So, one portion of the bonus is a thanksgiving from the stalls that I open. So, it's not just for me to make it as a buyer's interest, Miss."
Gina listened to Surya's explanation with an amazed look. It turned out that Surya even thought to that point that he had never thought of. And when he saw Surya serving current buyers made him remember how when Surya met with investors or with his relations. The friendly and intelligent impression is always the most prominent of them. According to Gina, the talent of Surya entrepreneurs he can implement in various sectors. Whether it is a big company or is an angkringan stall.
"Who do you think he is?" The voice of a woman behind Gina that she could hear.
"It seems like she's his girlfriend." Said another woman at Gina's back desk. But Gina tried to ignore and sat quietly like she did not hear their voices.
"But I've heard that the owner of the stall..."
"Solar, his name." His friend told him his name. Hearing Surya's name, Gina began to sharpen her hearing.
"Hey, you even know the name of the owner of this stall?" Ask friend.
"I know from social media Angkringan Rejo. It was in one of the posts that interviewed him. From there it says the name of the owner is Surya."
"Well, the name alone can warm me up. Let alone his smile.look at his smile.ahh, my heart warms for the sake of seeing it." What the woman said made Gina come to see Surya too.
Apparently at the angkringan table, Surya was serving female visitors and seemed to talk to him. Surya was smiling at the woman. And that woman with her bright face seemed to want to linger there.
"Hey, what did you want to say?" Asked the woman behind Gina earlier and could still be heard. Gina wondered if she did it on purpose. Or they didn't know that her voice was too clear and made Gina able to hear it.
"Oh yes, I heard that Mr. Surya is married."
"really?"
"But, there is another news that he is now a widower. He's divorced from his wife."
"really? But why?"
"Eitherway. I think his wife would be foolish to let go of a man as handsome and handsome as Mr. Surya." Hearing that, Gina clenched her hands as she felt that they were willing to make baseless conclusions. Gina was eager to argue with what the woman behind her was saying.
"Hey, it's not necessarily like that. Who knows if they're divorced because there's something we don't know."
"Or do they not divorce because Mr Surya turned out to be a flamboyant? Look, how he's spreading charm on that lady visitor." Again Gina looked at Surya who was still talking to the woman.
Gina really felt burning right now. How can Surya from earlier seemed very comfortable talking with a short-haired woman and horizontal striped clothes that he combined with the palazzo pants. It seems that what the women said is true. It's possible that Surya is spreading charm to the woman.
"See, I don't seem to be a stranger to this woman." Gina heard again the sentence of a woman behind her.
"Oh yeah? Is he really Mr Surya's girlfriend? Did Mr. Surya ever post his picture on his personal social media account?"
"Not anywhere but... Hey, look over there. In front of that R-Store Self-service. Isn't he the one?" Gina also looked out of the stall and indeed found her face in a large billboard in front of the R-Store. Gina then lowered her face trying to hide her face so that others who were there did not recognize her.
"Well, it turns out she's an R-Store model. Mr. Surya is very good at bringing the R-Store model here. Will she also be a model of Angkringan Rejo?" Gina smiled wryly at the conversation of the two women.
Then Gina looked at Surya again and she was still serving the woman. This time Gina could not stand it and stood up from her seat to approach Surya. Just then one of Surya's employees walked towards Gina while carrying a tray containing Surya's order.
"Miss, where are you going?" Ask the employee who got instructions from Surya to Gina who passed by him.
"I have to go to the toilet. Give this to another customer first. And also, give me that table."
"But, Mr. Surya wants you to eat there."
"Give it to another customer first." Gina then walked away leaving the officer confused.
From where he was standing at this time, he could see his employees standing confused and then returning to the angkringan table in Surya's place.
"Why was he brought here again?" Ask Surya to his staff.
Then her employee said what Gina told her. Surya also continues to arrange angkringan at the table so that customers are easier to take. But a little later Gina came back and this time approached Surya.
"Surya..." Call Gina.
"Yes Miss. You're done yet?" Surya asked to see Gina approaching him.
"Full toilet. But I can't stand it." Gina's whisper was holding something back. Surya then looked at Gina and he did find Gina's face that was pale because she was trying her hardest to hold back.
"Alright, please use the toilet in the upstairs room, miss. In a room with a white door. It's the key." Surya handed over a key to Gina who then rushed out of the place.
Surya still seems busy helping his employees serve buyers. But then he remembered something and then rushed off to go up to the second floor of the stall. He half-runs trying to get somewhere. He finally reached the second floor and immediately headed for the only room with a white door as he told Gina earlier among other rooms that had natural wooden doors. And when he opened the door, Surya found Gina standing in one corner of the room and facing the wall. Seeing someone open the door, Gina turned her head with a look that Surya did not want to guess what would happen next.
"That's... I'm sorry, Miss. I'll let go of everything." Surya said in a low voice full of regret.
"Surya. let's date." Gina's words made Surya frown and almost couldn't believe what he heard. Slowly Surya stepped closer to Gina.
"Miss?" Now Surya was only a step ahead of Gina.
"Let's go back from the beginning." Gina answered with a glance at Surya but after that she looked at the wall again.
