Gina stretched her body after getting out of bed. The wall clock in his room shows it's 9 in the morning. Gina looked towards the sofa of her room where Surya was sleeping was already empty. As usual, Surya is no longer in the room and Gina believes Surya must have left the house. Either to exercise or go somewhere. 'Robot Man' like him is indeed very disciplined. His life pattern is very regular. Wake up early, exercise and then do activities that Gina believes it was Surya agenda a few days before. Surya always has an event that he works every holiday. There was no day of self-indulgence let alone lazing around for him.

Like Sunday morning this time Gina came down the stairs and found the house in a quiet state. But he could see on the dining table was a plate of chicken porridge. Gina approached. From a close distance he could see the hot steam still billowing from the top of the plate containing the chicken porridge. Gina looked around to ask if there was a chicken porridge owner around.

"Hello... why home?" Gina's style of speech mimics scenes in horror films. There was no word but footsteps from the kitchen approaching him. Gina turned her head and appeared Surya with a plate in his hand that also reflected hot steam. Gina frowned.

"You're awake, miss. Exactly right." With a smile on his lips.

"You think I can get here still by sleeping? I'm not the kind of person who can walk everywhere while sleeping." Answer Gina ketus.

"Yes Miss." Surya still responded with a smile as well and placed the hot plate on the table. After that he removed the anti-heat hand coating he was wearing and placed it on his side sitting.

"Let's have breakfast, Miss."

"Where did you get it?"

"From. oh, I bought it while jogging."

"Why buy two?"

"Because I know you must have woken up."

"So you know." Gina muttered while sitting also in front of a plate of chicken porridge with a seductive aroma in front of her.

"Because you used to get up at this hour on holidays."

"Oh yeah? You know that?" Surya nodded while spooning the chicken porridge into his mouth. Gina also tasted the porridge in front of her.

"Aww..." Gina felt the porridge that touched her lips was still hot.

"Why Miss?" Surya panicked and got some drinking water.

"The tomb is still very hot. My lips are burning." Grumpily Gina while holding her lips.

"Get me Miss." Surya grabbed Gina's porridge and brought it nearby. Slowly Surya blew on top of Gina's slurry trying to reduce the hot steam that was inside.

Gina watched Surya seriously blow his porridge. The sun that was blowing looked funny. He who was weaving his lips while blowing made Gina remember what Surya did when he blew his bumpy head at that time. Somehow such a scene was calming for him. Though it was not him who got inflatable treatment from Surya but his porridge, but why it made his heart happy. Seeing that unconsciously Gina curled her smile.

"Already, Miss." Surya thrust back Gina's porridge that was not as hot as before.

"Oh, uh, yes." Gina became misbehaved as Surya suddenly looked at her.

"It wasn't as hot as it was. But good before eating it, you have to blow it a little first." Gina simply responded with a nod. His voice still felt choked by his nervousness earlier.

"Oh yes, Papa is glad we managed to get Mr. Adskhan to sign a working contact with R-Company."

"We?" Gina rounded her eyes trying to understand the word 'we' that Surya had thrown out.

"Yes, my lady, you and I."

"I didn't do anything."

"But you are with me hosting Mr. Adskhan and his wife. We've worked well together to make them comfortable while they're here."

"Does that mean anything?" Gina looked at Surya.

"Of course Miss, like a country, the First Lady has a very important role in the performance of the head of state leading his country."

"really? Is it that serious?" Gina blinked her eyes many times.

"Yes, Miss." Surya replied with a smile looking at Gina's face with such an innocent look. He was like a child who had just gained new knowledge.

"That is why I ask you to accompany me during meetings with Mr. Adskhan." Obviously Surya.

"Oh, good then." Gina scooped her porridge again.

"Thank you, Miss."

"Thank you for what?" Gina laughed a little but still enjoyed the porridge.

"Because it helped me to host Mr. Adskhan."

"Hey, don't rush to thank me. I did that for R-Company. Not for you."

"Yes I know, Miss. The more you learn about how to do business the faster you replace me."

"You should start to worry that I'll be smart quickly and topple your throne soon."

"I don't have to worry about anything, Miss. In time, R-Company will return to its true owners."

"of course. So you don't expect much to linger having it. It's like a love affair the more you love it the more you'll be possessive and get sicker when one day you lose your love."

"Yes, miss, I know." Surya was still with his gentle smile. Gina's slightly spicy remarks didn't seem to affect her at all. Surya is still quiet as if nothing happened. That's what Gina always surprised and concluded that Surya is a robot.

How can a human not be offended when other humans seem to deliberately want to hurt his feelings. If not a robot that has no feelings, surely that person does not have common sense. While Gina saw Surya sane enough to run her Papa business so far very well.

"Papa only said that when he called you?" Gina.

"Yes Miss." Surya answered with still eating.

"Oh yeah, Papa said it might add one more cruise."

"Well, that's great. The longer Papa's there, the better for us."

"Yes Miss."

"By the way, I'm getting convinced that it looks like I'm just a pick-up boy." Mumbled Gina.

"Why do you think that, Miss?" Surya frowned.

"How come Papa would rather call you than me his daughter." Gina's face pouted.

"I guess because it's about business so Papa called me, Miss."

"Are you the only one who works at R-Company and hosts Mr Adskhan? Papa even had many reasons to contact me as his daughter. What communication should be something related to business only. You're a materialistic man." Surya held back a laugh seeing Gina call her own papa.

🌸🌸🌸

Gina was on the treadmill and still running off her legs. It looks like sweat is washing the body. Even his face was filled with sweat that melted from his forehead.

"It's Miss." Ms. Yuyun delivered a glass of drinking water in a place not far from Gina exercising.

"Miss, why are you exercising at this hour?" Yuyun asked as she tried the stationary bike next to Gina running on the treadmill.

"I'm full."

"What did you eat, miss?" Ms. Yuyun who was like a friend to Gina also started pedaling the static bike.

"Chicken slurry." Gina replied with a breath of breath and then stopped her exercise and drank the water that was brought by Yuyun earlier.

"The chicken is delicious, miss. If you are not ashamed of Mr. Surya, I must add more." Said Mbak Yuyun while giggling.

Very nice of him. He even bought the chicken porridge for Yuyun. Inner Gina while imagining Surya blowing his porridge earlier. But then Gina shook her head quickly.

I-i know. It must be his way of putting incantations on me. With blow-up. Evidently he likes to blow and after that I will feel something strange about him. Gina began to analyze.

I have to be really careful now.

"Miss... Missy..." Ma'am Yuyun shook Gina's arm. Gina turned to Yuyun who was next to her.

"Miss dehydrated or daydreaming?" Tanya Yuyun who saw Gina dumbstruck.

"A glass of cold chocolate seems good." Ms. Yuyun knew the code that was delivered to her and then went to the kitchen to make it. Gina left the gym.

In front of the stairs he saw Surya walking towards him.

"Miss, I'll be out. If you need me, please just call." Gina nodded. He did not say much because he was still carried away by his thoughts about the incantations that Surya might blow.

Gina looked at Surya who was walking away from her towards the door. Seen from behind it turns out Surya has a sturdy back with wide shoulders and long legs. Therefore he has a way of walking with wide steps. The body is indeed quite good when viewed from behind this.

Oh God. I've been crazy to judge him like that. Gina flicked her hands fanning towards her face.

I should be able to dispel the spells that Surya blew.

"Maybe Yuyun knows. He also comes from the village." Gina turned her body and walked towards the kitchen looking for the person in question.

"Mister Yuyun... Sister Yuyun..." Shouted Gina while approaching Yuyun who was busy cutting vegetables while jogged listening to dangdut music from his radio.
