Solar Throne
Rest

The night is getting colder now. The rain has not stopped since this afternoon. Gina who was driving her car through the rain seemed to sharpen her gaze to see the road ahead. In these hours, the road is crowded with drivers coming home from their respective workplaces. And Gina has to be very careful driving her car if she does not want to be involved in a traffic accident with another driver.

While crossing the culinary center on the left side of the road, Gina so remembered the cake that she had bought with Surya. But at this hour the seller does not sell because it seems like it is only sold in the morning. Gina then continued on her way and passed the grilled cornsmith who is now seen sheltering on a terrace of a store that had closed in the area. There also Gina once ate grilled corn with Surya.

If you remember, every time with Surya, they always go to finally eat. Either eat snacks or eat heavy meals. What is clear, it seems Surya is a true lover of culinary tourism. There were almost a lot of food places he knew. He always recommends with the reviews he has delivered before. So that makes Gina more curious and will admit that Surya's assessment of the foods he recommends is really delicious.

Gina exhaled a rough breath as she recalled Surya. Almost a week he was out of town and they had no communication whatsoever. Gina thought to herself, What is this thing called workaholic. He remembered Surya had also left him out of town when they were still tied to marriage, and the same as today. Surya also did not contact her and did not even answer her phone. It was as if he was suddenly so busy that he forgot about Gina.

Gina could understand if Surya ignored her because they were not really attached to a marriage relationship. But now, they're actually dating. Surya can treat Gina as if she doesn't exist in her life. Actually Gina was too prestigious to contact Surya first. It could have made Surya think that Gina needed him the most. Though what happened should be Surya who contacted Gina continuously considering how Surya likes her. Surya said that he had put his heart on Gina for a long time so, it should be Surya who always chased after her, not vice versa. So, Gina tried to survive since contacting Surya yesterday when taking her away at a businessman meeting and trying to suppress her longing feelings so as not to try to contact Surya again.

"Sir, here's an example of a window trellis you requested." A man was already in front of Surya thrusting out a catalogue. Surya accepts.

Surya was in a restaurant since earlier waiting for a responsible person who he believed to work on the construction of his angkringan stall outside the city.

"Sorry sir, are we also using all the tableware and cooking utensils from R-Company for this time?"

"Yes." Yeah." Surya replied briefly still looking through the catalogue in his hand.

"good. This is the catalog I got the latest edition, sir."

"Thank you." Surya looked at the catalogue that the man had placed on the table and smiled at him.

"You are a true customer of R-Company. If only there were a member level as an R-Company buyer, you would have already become a VVIP member." Surya just smiled at the words of his employees.

"It's hard for me to wear a product other than R-Company. I'm afraid the quality doesn't match what I expected."

"Yes, you are already very familiar with the reputation of R-Company so that your level of trust can not be contested anymore." Surya simply responded with a smile.

Speaking of R-Company, Surya recalled Gina again. I don't know how many times he missed that woman. One week did not see him he felt his heart ache because it was too long to hold longs. But even to meet him, he could not. The business isn't over here. If he had to call her, he was afraid of becoming weak when he heard her voice like yesterday. He knew from the tone of Gina's voice that was disappointed because Surya could not attend the businessman's meeting. Knowing that, Surya was eager to jump to where Gina and accompany her. But of course it was only his wish because in addition to his business is not over, Surya also felt the need to keep a distance with Gina at this time.

🌸🌸🌸

Gina threw her body on the bed. His eyes stared at the ceiling of the room with a blank look. For a while there was no movement from him. He just wanted to put his body down and calm his heart.

"Surya, is this how you treat me after you've gained my heart?" Gumam Gina Lirih's.

In the midst of Gina's troubled mind, suddenly the door of her room was knocked. Gina turned her eyes towards the door. Just then, there was a knock coming from behind the door. Gina got up from her bed and walked slowly to the door. After opening, Gina found Mr. Rangga standing in front of her.

"Papa? What's up?"

"Your room hasn't been renovated in a long time, don't you want to change it?" Said Mr. Rangga as he stepped inside and circulated the surrounding view of Gina's room.

"No, I still haven't had any inspiration to renovate it." Gina replied lazily while sitting on her bedroom sofa.

"Tumbens. You usually can't have the same interior." Said Mr. Rangga sarcas.

"I'm no longer the usual Gina. Papa's daughter is now the president of R-Company. When he came home he just needed to lay down and sleep. There is no more time for me to enjoy the interior of the room that I always make as beautiful as possible as before. I just need a comfortable room with a mattress that can make me sleep well. And I think this limited edition R-Company mattress from 2 years ago fits me perfectly.

"How not to fit, made from the best quality materials and also takes a lot of production costs."

"But the price is also quite fantastic for a sheet of this queen size mattress." Gina replied while touching the surface of her mattress.

"Even so, a lot of people who want it even someone who wants R-Company to restart the mattress. You, if not the daughter of the owner right away, owning this mattress would have cost you years of savings." Hearing that, Gina soared her lips in denial. Mr. Rangga looked at him with a smile. Seen some lines that appear on his face indicate the man is already old twilight.

"By the way, did Papa come here last night just want to ask that? I think there must be something else that Papa wants to talk about." Terka Gina's.

"I'm lonely. This whole day your mama went out with her friends so that when I chatted with her she fell asleep." Mr. Rangga shook his head inexhaustibly with his wife's behavior.

"You're busy with your own business. I'm stuck in a house this big as unemployed. It's really very torturous." Hearing that, Gina gave a small laugh. His expression was completely out of his usual character. Mr. Rangga looks funny when conveying his outpouring like that. Things very rarely happen to him.

"Why don't you go with Papa's friends?"

"Whose friend? They are all busy. Sasono went abroad to visit his children and grandchildren. Rudi also arrived Faris who stayed there with Sunday and his daughter. They have quality time with their families. While I'm still stuck with my family who often disappear." Again Gina laughed at her Papa.

"Another Papa friend? The former members of the businessman association are also many who Papa knows. Why not play with them. Play golf, go to the fishing line or ride on the farm and invite Papa's friends who used to go together often."

"They're just friends who go out on business, so I'm not so close. There are even some of them who have never been in contact with me at all."

"Oh, Papa, you're so sorry." Gina stood up from her seat and hugged her Papa who was a little taller than her.

"Where could you possibly accompany me. Your work is a lot. There's no way you'll have time for me. Especially now that you have a girlfriend, all your free time must be for her." Mumbled Mr. Rangga while sitting on the sofa.

"Tomorrow, you'll definitely go with him. Right, no? So don't give me false hope." Guess Mr. Rangga.

"Popey tofu. Who's going with him? Tomorrow I don't have a show with anyone." Said Gina with a slightly grim face.

"really? Isn't that the time you spent together?"

"Yes, it doesn't have to be." Gina replied with a slight discomfort as she said so.

"Why? You guys are fighting?" Guess Mr. Rangga directly without further ado.

"No. I didn't tell Papa that Surya was out of town for the opening of a new angkringan stall." Mr. Rangga remembered what Gina said this morning.

"The boy was really persistent. So that I am not surprised by the success he has now achieved. His business spirit is very high and also the innovation he has is quite good. If I were a woman, maybe I'd compete with you to get one too." Mr. Rangga then chuckled after saying that. Gina smiled wryly in response.

"You know, I'm glad you're finally dating." Again the words of Mr. Rangga was very honest with the words he said to Gina. It made Gina look at her Papa instantly because that sentence was tantamount to the statement that she had received the blessing of her Papa directly.

"I have loved Surya for a long time. I know him well and the longer I get to expect a lot from him. So, at that time I thought it was possible if I betrothed you to him, then I could get Surya whole. A good man to you and also my ideal son-in-law." Mr. Rangga smiled at Gina who did not want to say anything to her.

"But, in the end you're divorced and honestly it really breaks my heart, not just your heart." This time Gina looked at her Papa's eyes. There was a pair of teary eyes in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Gina. I was too selfish for wanting something perfect for myself back then." Gina did not know what to say so she just silently looked at Mr. Rangga.

"And, when I heard from you that you were dating, I felt like I had hope to make my dream come true again."

"Want?" Finally Gina made a sound.

"Yes, it's my dream to make you happy."

"Why is Papa so sure that Surya can make me happy?"

"You know, Surya is good at everything business-related, but he's not good at hiding his feelings." Answer Mr. Rangga.

"I've known for a long time that he's actually put his heart on you. It's just, I pretend I don't know." Gina agrees with her Papa because from the photos of her that are displayed in Surya's room, it is enough to explain since when Surya likes it.

"I thought, you who always live as you please yourself will be able to be controlled by a man who really likes you and only likes you sincerely. Seeing how Surya hides his feelings for you and keeps a distance between you who he is my subordinate, while you are the daughter of a boss, sometimes to the point that I feel sorry for him. He should always monitor your whereabouts with your girlfriends and it will definitely hurt his feelings. But whatever it is, he's trying to stay professional and do his job well." Obviously Mr. Rangga.

"I even felt guilty for you when I saw how Surya tearfully was waiting for you in front of the emergency room when the doctor tried to save you from an overdose of sleeping pills back then. I'm worried, but I'm not as sweet as he is to make him cry because I hope you'll be okay." Hearing the explanation of her father, Gina seemed to find another side of a Surya. Surya who loved her turned out to have very deep feelings for her.

"When I asked him why he was crying, he answered that he felt guilty for not being able to take good care of you." Mr. Rangga is now back in tears.

"He was no longer your bodyguard. He is my personal assistant who only has the basic task of being my right hand. But, it turns out secretly he still watches you often. Not as a stalker, but rather as your secret admirer who always wants to make sure that you're okay."

"Why did Papa tell me all this?" Gina asked with haru's face.

"Because she's your boyfriend now. And you're my daughter. Maybe it's a 'disgrace' for him that could make you a weapon to enslave Surya. But I'm sure he's not that kind of person. Although he loves you very much, but he will never put himself as a pecudang who will bend your knees for the sake of his love." Mr. Rangga chuckled to see Gina looked disappointed by his Papa's sentence which seemed to underestimate him so. But what Mr. Rangga said is true. Seeing how Surya seemed to ignore him now after the debate they had when they last met, Gina so knew the reason. That is how Surya is. She could love so deeply, but she did not want to be a love slave who was easily treated as she wished.

"So, seriously get in a relationship with him. Stop messing with the feelings of men. You're old enough to do that."

"But, as old as I am there is still a much older one here." Gina looked angry at the old man by her Papa. Mr. Rangga looked up at Gina's pouting face like that.

"Surya is a good man. He knows all the bad things that are on you but can still love you. You are not a woman who can do housework, you are a spoiled woman who likes to shop, you are also a tempramental woman who when angry can beat others. He knows all that. But he still loves you. And again, she even decided on her boyfriend to be able to date you now. Look, how serious the feeling he's feeling right now." Gina felt like her Papa was giving positive reviews about Surya to her.

"Gina, it's time you got the perfect man in your life. You need to know, that doesn't include the snot guys you're dating in turn because I know you've never been serious about them and so should be. You have a man you call this Papa, but he's often absent when you need me. I'm deputizing my position on the money I have to replace my presence by paying for a bodyguard that can protect you. You also have an older brother who eventually leaves you and leaves you alone. Then you have a friend back who turns out your attention is meant by another. He just wants to pull you away from losing Roby after he died and comfort you so you can still feel like you have a brother. But you're overconfident in accepting Faris's every concern as a feeling of love for you when it doesn't apply to him. Then, Surya came with everything he had. The feeling of his love for you and the sincerity of heart that he has seems to focus you on one world." Gina listened to every sentence Mr. Rangga carefully.

What his father said was mostly true. About all the men her Papa said, it was as if her Papa made Gina aware that it was true that they were all men who were important to Gina. So too with Surya. During this time Gina never wanted to learn to cook even though her boyfriend likes to eat. He also did not want to learn to wash even though Faris had told him that he wanted to have a wife who would only serve him, not a career woman who works in a particular company that is bound by working hours and everything related to the employment contract. It makes Gina laugh at Faris and ignore her ideals while thinking Faris is a colossal man who discriminates against women like the conversation they had.

"You know, your actions really do not appreciate the struggle of our mother Kartini who fought for the sake of raising the dignity and dignity of women." Gina laughed as they talked at a club a few years ago.

"I have raised my wife's status by serving me only, as her husband. Not divided as well to be his boss' man."

At that time Gina's mind was just a silly Faris who even though he liked it but he still opposed the understanding he believed. But on the contrary to Surya, Gina seemed to want to do the best for the man even though she never asked for it. Cooking, washing and cleaning the house were all jobs Gina wanted to do without Surya expecting that from her. For Gina, everything Surya could he wanted could. He wants Surya to be impressed by his actions and can make him happy to see what he does. He believes his actions are very unreasonable, considering he never cared about all the things dealing with homework. But since her heart began to link to Surya, Gina seemed to want to try many things that could make Surya happy.

"If your Mama is one of the reasons you're afraid to go further with Surya, don't worry, I'm the one who will support you fully for your happiness." Mr. Rangga grabbed his daughter's shoulder. Gina stared at her clingy Papa who had given her blessing over her relationship with Surya.
