Bu Marina is still following Gina. Chasing him with questions made him feel even more cornered.

"Are you guys back?" Bu Marina's question this time made Gina more determined to open her relationship with Surya. He chose not to hide it. He will be open and reluctant to live it with the backstreet as he once told Surya when they first re-established a relationship. As Gina and Surya had talked about back then.

"Miss, what if Mr. Rangga and Bu Marina know about our current relationship?" Surya asked while facing Gina who was sitting at the cashier table when the cafe was closed and only the two of them remained there.

"Why?" Gina asked back.

"I'm not sure they'll respond immediately." Surya replied with a smile that Gina knew she had intentionally made perfect for hiding something. Don't know what. It might be a fear or cynical response from both of Gina's parents. Because after all Surya knows that Bu Marina never liked him and also he once divorced their daughter in order to keep the feelings of her lover first.

"You scared?" Gina's temptation to see Surya seemed sad after saying his last sentence. Surya did not answer but once again he smiled.

"No. Because the only thing that scares me is losing you." Surya replied by looking at Gina softly.

"As long as you're always with me, everything in this world is not a problem for me."

"What if Mom and Dad don't approve of our relationship?"

"I will make them bless us, at any cost. Whether to erect a thousand temples overnight or move the state palace next to the R-Company, all of that was easy for me. But if it's to lose you, then it means there's a big problem I'm facing."

"Well, whether to be flattered or amused I hear your arrogance." Gina laughed happily at Surya's words even though it sounded like a joke. Either because he was being drunk on romance or because love had completely blinded him until he felt everything on Surya made him feel happy.

"Well, looking at you who are very confident, I think we do not need to hide anything and also from anyone including Papa and Mama. Let's live our relationship like any other couple. We don't have to be awkward and worry about people's views. Whether they think we're a plan or something, I think the word reference is what we'll hear from them a lot." Gina explained. Surya looked at Gina with an astonished look.

"You never stop making me fall in love for a second. That courageous and confident attitude is nowhere to be found in people. But you even have it all." Surya said with bright twinkle eyes looking at Gina's eyes.

"Then, let's try to mend this relationship and convince Papa and Mama that we are now ready to get back together better." Gina smiled broadly at how Surya had regained confidence in his goal of making himself his girlfriend.

Gina turned around to face her mother who was still following her.

"Sury and I are dating." Gina's words were firmly confident.

While Bu Marina looked at him fixedly. Finally his worry this time had really happened. Gina has truly proclaimed her love by re-establishing a relationship with Surya. Things he didn't really want all this time. Anyhow, beyond the ability of Surya to become an owner of angkringan stalls are very famous even lately become viral because of the many visitors give reviews on social media so that many food bloggers who also began to review and give a good response. Even Bu Marina also knows Surya to be one of the names of culinary entrepreneurs that can be counted in the city and even this country.

But for Bu Marina, the family tree was still quite important to her. So that Surya who is only the adopted child of Mr. Wirorejo and Miss Maryam, a married couple from the village who are only a farm worker is very far from the expectations of Bu Marina in meeting her standards as a lover of her daughter.

"I don't know how Surya uses you. But, I think you've lost your mind making Surya a girlfriend." Sentence Bu Marina cynical.

"Mama's right, I feel that way too. But strangely I feel I can gladly accept Surya's favor."

"Of course, that's how it works. It'll make you unaware of the danger and you'll just continue to be insane little by little."

"Oh my God, does that mean I'm in danger?" Gina widened her eyes with a blank look forward.

"I think I should meet Surya soon so that he can save me from this evil that always made me love him."

"You're this." Bu Marina patted Gina hard on the shoulder knowing that her daughter was teasing her with her words that seemed to support her argument while her facial expression looked the opposite. Gina complained but then laughed and it irritated Bu Marina and immediately left her in that living room.

Gina still looked at Bu Marina with a funny smile because her mother looked annoyed with the joke she made. Then he breathed heavily. He knew this was just the initial reaction from his mother. Gina had no idea how her mother would react next. It seems that he will really have to fight with his Mama if Mama can not also accept Surya.

Bu Marina entered his room and saw Mr. Rangga was asleep. He then climbed the bed carelessly so as to make Pak Rangga woke up by the movement of Bu Marina.

"Why are you?" He asked lazily while looking at Bu Marina who was sitting beside him. His eyes were still heavy enough to open but the careless movements of Bu Marina while climbing the bed really disturbed him.

"You can sleep normally. You didn't know our only son was starting to ruin his own life."

"Who?" Mr. Rangga who seems not fully aware of his sleep has become clueless about the direction of his wife's conversation.

"Yes God. Keep sleeping until the day after. Don't get up." Bu Marina looked angry and then laid her body. Not only that, she also pulled all the blankets originally partially covered her husband's body, now moved to make his body invisible at all. Mr. Rangga looked at the back of Bu Marina who was behind him. He was really confused by what his wife was doing.

"Did he have a nightmare? Or is he delirious?" He muttered while looking at Bu Marina who was no longer flinching.

Sunday looked down from the taxi he was riding right in a cafe. He hastily entered a fairly rame cafe this afternoon. It was the cafe that he had agreed with Lita and Gina to meet after so long they had never left together. Until this afternoon Sunday came to see friends while he was still working at Font, lita's current workplace and also her Sunday workplace before she married Faris as well as Gina's workplace before she became President of R-Company. From the entrance, he circulated a look looking for where his friends were. He felt that someone was watching him and it was Lita who waved at him. Sunday replied with a smile and then stepped foot towards him.

"Thank you." Sunday thanked the waiter who had just delivered a cold glass of moccachino to his order.

"Based on this one boss completely ignores us." Grutu Lita while staring at the screen of the phone that is listed by the name of Gina is being called in the phone line.

"Did he forget?" Further.

"I don't think so. Maybe he should finish the job first." Said Sunday after drinking his drink.

"He's the boss, so he must be busy."

"But he can give us the news first."

"Once, let's wait. By the way how are you guys?" Sunday shifted their conversation.

"Everything's good. It's just that more projects we have to deal with. I think Fedora's team needs additional personnel."

"What's that busy thing?" Tanya Sunday is serious.

"Yes, we are currently handling several information system projects of shops and cafes. You know, Fedora's always been flooded with projects, but our team lacks system analysts. You recall? When a lot of projects arrive at a deadline, you're almost never at the Font during business hours and also when you have to meet clients, you always come home late."

"Talk to the HRD if your team experiences it. So that they can provide solutions. Whether to share the Fedora project with other teams or add personnel to your team." Saran Sunday's.

"You're right. But who should have done that wasn't Mr Dedi? While every time we made that complaint, he always dodged it and said we could definitely work on it. Really sucks." Lita looked pouted.

"If you don't mind, how about you tell Mr Faris?" Said Lita meekly with a sweet smile and pampered pursed eyes."

"Well. Is this your goal from the beginning to want to meet me? You want to use me as your aspiration dealer?" Sunday chuckles.

"No, no. It's just good that you're accusing me. I don't really. I really miss you guys and want to meet you. It's just that I couldn't help myself when you asked us about Fedora."

"I shouldn't have asked you earlier." Sunday blushed her lips pretending to be sorry.

"It turns out there's no point in also being friends with the boss' wife. I still can't use my 'special card'." Hearing that Sunday glared his eyes at Lita who was laughing after saying her sentence.

"You really want to use me." Sunday was anxious and pinched the shoulder of Lita who was sitting next to him. Lita complained while laughing.

But then he looked straight in front of the glass-walled cafe. With a reflex Lita poking Sunday's hand. As Sunday asked why, Lita gestured with her chin to look in the direction she was referring.

Gina got off Surya's car and after that Surya approached her. Then they chatted for a while until Surya re-entered his car and left Gina waving. Sunday and Lita looked at Gina who started walking inside the cafe. Finding Sunday and Lita looking at him, Gina waved her hand and sped up a little.

"Hi guys... Oh, my God, I miss you so much." Gina then dropped her body to hug the two friends at once.

"Ehh, where's Cena? You didn't bring her? Why don't you take her? I miss her cheeks that are round like those mangroves?" Gina giggled herself after greeting the two friends who were waiting for her.

Seeing no response from the two, Gina felt strange. He also began to feel bad for his friends.

"What's wrong?" Ask Gina very carefully.

"All right, I'm sorry. Didn't I apologize for coming late and making you wait. I'm sorry, Lita. I'm sorry, Sunday." Gina hugged her two friends in turn as she sat between them.

"Hey, what's going on?" Lita asked with a fixed look at Gina.

"You're intentionally giving us a surprise?" Tanya Sunday is not inferior to the same view as what Lita did.

"What surprise?" Gina asked in surprise as she looked at the two in turn.

"It looks like you and Mr. Surya are still on good terms." Lita.

"If it's not good, what should we do?" Answer Gina.

"Yes too. Divorce is not something that can end a relationship at all. But you think I'm stupid to pretend to forget what caused your divorce?" Lita glared at Gina who was instead smiling in a knot in response to Lita's facial expression which was very clearly upset with her.

"You're not crazy enough to be treated unfairly anymore, are you?"

"You've been overboard for a long time." Gina hit Lita on the shoulder and heard her words which all sounded spicy.

"When people say love sometimes there is no logic it may have a point. Because what I'm going through now is that. He had a reason to divorce me at the time. But then he immediately ran to me for fear of actually losing me." Gina blushed as she said that. Sunday and Lita laughed at Gina's behavior which made them feel amused because it was very visible face sumringah fell in love.

"Hey, I still remember you nagging me when I thought I'd mind if the ex-boyfriend you slammed at the time decided on me. But what now? You're back with your ex-husband.

"Yes, I know, but this is different from you."

"Alright, explain to me where the difference is. Because as far as I know she left yesterday for her boyfriend just like my ex-boyfriend did." Lita clutching her hands on her chest was like challenging Gina to give her an explanation that could let her know what difference she meant.

"You don't know what's really going on."

"That's it, try telling me to understand what really happened." Pursue Lita curious.

"Actually he just went away for a moment and came back after realizing what he was supposed to do."

"And you just believe it?"

"Yes, I think so. I knew him enough that I felt I should give him a chance this time."

"You sure?" Gina nodded while looking at Lita.

"Well, whatever your reasons for getting back together, I'm obviously happy to see you so happy." Sunday sentence with a smile that makes dimples on his cheeks become more visible.

"Thank you, Sunday." Gina hugged Sunday.

"Basic two queen plays." Lita Mumbled. But then Gina pulls Lita too to her hug too. Lita who was shocked had thrashed but then Sunday was hugging him and it made him helpless so the only thing he could do was resign and also stretch his arms hugging his two friends. They do not even care about their behavior that gets strange views from other cafe visitors.

Now Gina has been in Surya's car after he picked her up earlier in the cafe where she had gathered with Sunday and Lita.

"Is the meeting fun?" Surya asked Gina on the sidelines of their conversation.

"Yes, I haven't been with them for a long time. There's a lot of stuff we're talking about." Gina said with her bright face. Surya was happy to see that.

"Surya, let's eat grilled corn." Take Gina when she sees a grilled cornsmith not far from Surya's car. Surya stopped his car and came down after Gina who had approached the grilled cornsmith after Surya's car stopped.

Gina began ordering her favorite corn. Then he looked at Surya and waved as a signal for Surya to rush up to him.

"Surya, what do you want to taste?" Ask Gina.

"My love for you, is there?" Surya replied that immediately glared at his eyes. It made Surya smile widely because he managed to tease his girlfriend.

"Just be nice, Miss." Surya finally said before Gina asked once more in a high tone as it seemed she had started opening her mouth to say something.

Hearing that Gina again closed her mouth but then asked the seller to make corn grilled mertega also for Surya.

"You here, why order the original grilled corn? Isn't that too ordinary?" Gina asked as she ate the sweet spicy grilled corn that was in her hands.

"Because I do love the original taste, Miss."

"What a person you look like. Simple people are afraid to try new things."

Hearing Gina's assessment of him, Surya frowned. How could Gina judge herself just from the taste of the grilled corn she ordered. Surya felt Gina quite carelessly said that. But Surya only responded with a funny smile to hear the words of his lover.

"No, it's not like that." Surya answered, which made Gina look at him.

"But, you are the new thing I want to conquer. My feelings for you are not simple either. So, I'm not that kind of person." When he saw Surya say that, Gina felt Surya meant it. There was no joke in his voice. Let alone that gentle but serious look of an eye, Gina's heart beat twice as fast as it found it. But to make herself not awkward, Gina laughed and went back to eating her grilled corn.

"You are, why take it seriously? I'm just kidding." Gina said with the rest of the laughter still there.

"It's okay, Miss. I'm indeed this serious if it's about feeling to you." Surya replied with a smile on his lips responding to the face of Gina who still looks nervous despite trying to hide.

"Truthfully sometimes you make me feel inferior." Gina said later.

"Why, Miss?"

"I'm afraid I can't love you what you expect." Gina looked back at Surya.

"I didn't expect much love from you, Miss. I just wish you could always love me, that's enough." Like ice water flushing his chest, Surya's soft-sounding sentence full of sincerity really made his feelings feel comfortable.

"Surya, are you a mentalist? Why does everything you say hypnotize me." Said Gina while staring at Surya while blushing.

"That's the spell I blew for you to fall more deeply in love with me, Miss."

"That's very dangerous. I think I should be careful." Gina replied with a small laugh.

"Right, you should be wary of me. Because I'm getting greedy now." Gina blinked her eyes many times hearing Surya's words which she did not understand.

"Serakah what?" Gina asked softly because she suddenly felt afraid of what was on Surya's mind at this time.

"Who for wanting to make you my wife again." Gina looked at Surya who was also looking at her straight. The brownish eyes that were in the dimness of the night with the lighting just from the street lights were like tracing his feelings and making him pound again faster than before.
