Solar Throne
Unsettling

"Ghost?" Gina looked at Ayu. But then Gina was shocked as Ayu laughed. Gina was becoming more afraid now.

"Why laugh? Is something funny?"

"Sir Gina is just there. After the ghost and then the ghost. If that's all unproven then what else?" Ayu was still laughing looking at Gina's confused face.

"Alien? It's possible that the culprit is an alien, mbak."

"You're this. Not really funny." Gina pouted laughed at by Ayu like that.

"Here you go, I'm here. There will be no ghosts or thieves who dare to peek at you. I assure. So take a shower, Mother." Gina was still pouting and turned back to the bathroom.

But Gina stopped her steps again because she heard it seemed like a car was stopping in the yard. Ayu looked out followed by Gina. An Innova Reborn stopped right in front of Surya's house. Gina walked to the terrace. Surya went down to pick up something in the trunk of the car. Surya's mother also came down. Signs of Mr. Surya coming home.

Surya put a wheelchair next to the car so that his Father could get down and sit there. Then Surya pushed him in.

"The captain's home?" Ayu asked in astonishment because she did not expect her uncle to be home so soon.

"Yes, Pakde is okay. Why stay there for so long."

"Thank God." Answer Ayu.

"She's really healthy?" Ask Gina too.

"Yes, Nduk. I was not sick and I was taken to the hospital." He got out of the wheelchair and sat in the living room.

"Wear that chair too. What can I walk for." Mr. Wiro glanced at Surya who forced him to use a wheelchair since he came from the hospital because he was worried about his father why.

"Mothers cannot be tired. The doctor said you have to rest a lot." Surya.

"Yes. I'm resting. I'm not going anywhere either. You are satisfied." Mr. Surya is a bit gluttonous. Surya smiled in response to his Father. Gina saw that and knew what Surya was. Just like against him, when facing his father who is sulking is also very patient.

"Have you eaten, Nduk?" Ask Surya's mother to Gina.

"It was morning, Mom."

"Cock this morning. Which now?"

"Not yet." Gina blushed as she replied.

"How come this Ayu didn't invite you to eat." Ibu Surya memorized Ayu who took drinking water at the dining table.

"Why don't you eat?"

"It's just that I'm going to eat, Bude." Katah Ayu's.

"Yes ma'am, we did plan to forage after I took a bath."

"Oh so. Good." Surya's mother smilingly looked at Ayu and Gina alternately then came out while carrying a glass of water for her husband.

Gina was sitting on the porch of the house. The lunch menu was mixed rice bought by Ayu. All his life this time he ate the menu. It feels good too.

"Miss..." Surya came out to Gina. Gina turned her gaze from Surya's courtyard with her colorful flowers to Surya.

"Surya, what's the flower's name?" Point it at the flower with magenta color, red, yellow and white with circular chapped petals.

"That's a paper flower, miss.."

"This one?" Show Gina the flowers under her seat.

"That's cambodian japanese, miss."

"That one?"

"That's a keepsake flower." Surya smiles to see Gina attracted by the various flowers in the yard of Surya's house.

"All flowers are beautiful." Mumbled Gina.

"The scornful flowers are good too, Miss."

"Which one?" Gina's eyes looked for the flower Surya meant.

"The one in the garden of Miss's house. Which is shaped."

"Oh, it's called a scorn flower." Gina just found out her name. Since childhood living in that house he did not know and did not want to know any flowers. He was too busy finding his own pleasure from loneliness.

"Oh yeah, what were you talking about?" Gina remembered that when she came out, it seemed like Surya wanted to say something.

"Look Miss, I plan we'll stay here for another week."

"What?" Gina widened her eyes.

"I have to make sure you're as healthy and well as you were before so I can come back in peace."

"But one week is too long for me."

"I'm sorry, Miss. But I have to be here first." Gina looked sullen hearing Surya's words.

"Mmm... or can you come back first without me?"

"Excuse me..." Gina replied, Someone has come. Gina and Surya who were chatting made them unaware of his presence. And their eyes were turned to the guest who came.

🌸🌸🌸

Mr. Rangga woke up from his sleep and walked towards the balcony. The night air was very cold because the ship was sailing towards the European continent. Bu Marina is still asleep because of a day of complaining of bored waiting for a trip that has not reached the nearest port before reaching Santorini their real destination.

Mr. Rangga woke up just as a message came in on his phone.

Papa, is your vacation fun?

I'm on vacation Grindelwald. Don't be jealous of me. You must have just moved from sea to sea.

Gina suddenly messaged him with a prank. The message was accompanied by a photo of the hill he passed by with a view of the verdant rice fields around it. The message was not about him asking for money or asking to buy something. Mr. Rangga who just woke up so smiled reading that. Hardly had Gina ever sent such a message. Suddenly he became a sweet boy. Hopefully this is not her goal as mere imagery and indeed she has turned into a sweet girl now.

His daughter is now married and Mr. Rangga knows what consequences he will receive. He may no longer be able to have it whole. But his daughter must have someone other than him. Who can always be there for him and can make him comfortable. He had already made the mistake of letting Gina feel alone all this time. So now is the time for Gina to have someone who can treat her loneliness all this time.

"I'll stay." Gina looked at Surya straight. Surya frowned seeing Gina change attitude that quickly. Then he turned his eyes to Dinda who was in front of the terrace of his house and like to be welcome in.

"Hi Dinda's..." Sapa Gina came straight to him.

"Let's go in." Invite later. Surya was confused by his wife. His attitude changes randomly and makes it difficult to understand. Just now he seemed unhappy when Surya invited him to stay until one week into the future. But a few minutes later it changed as if in a very good mood. Although Surya was confused and it was seen once, but Gina did not care and still drove Dinda into the house.

"Mother, Father, there are guests." Gina entered the door. Father and Mother Surya who were still in the living room looked simultaneously at the door.

"Oh you, Dinda." Welcome Surya's mother.

"This is me bringing you a chicken soto. Father's favorite." Dinda handed a package to Surya's mother. Gina glanced at the package received by her mother-in-law and looked back at Dinda. His heart suddenly became wry.

"Thank you, Dinda." Mother Surya smiled.

"Thank God you're home. I'm happy."

"Yes, you are strong. Disease is not good." Mr. Surya's reply made everyone laugh. Seeing that Gina tried to come laugh even though her laughter was very bland.

Who exactly is this girl. Why is he so familiar with the Surya family. He said just friends. Why was it so well received? And also, why is he always clinging to this family.

I don't know why Gina really doesn't like Dinda. She is beautiful and also nice. Either because Gina was envious of her natural-looking beauty? Or because it is so good and so understanding? I don't know, but every time I see Dinda, Gina feels uncomfortable. His heart felt numb.

"Mom and Dad say hello to you."

"Oh yes, also say my greetings to my father."

"Say you, it's appropriate yesterday not to meet in the rice field, it turns out you are sick."

"Yes, every morning I always meet Mr. Supreme. Our rice paddies are next to each other."

"Oh yes." Dinda smiled. And when she smiled, Dinda looked even more beautiful.

From looking at Dinda, Gina turned to look at Surya. Surya's eyes did not come off Dinda. And that made Gina even more convinced that they were not just friends. There must be something else between them that Gina doesn't know yet. So Gina thinks she should know what's really going on between them.

Dinda also looks very familiar with Surya's parents. That means they are very close. As Ayu said that Dinda and Surya were friends since childhood, but Gina could not believe it for granted. Whether the friendship between them is just that or there is indeed another story.

Gina now sat down beside Dinda. Trying to mingle with the chatter of Dinda and her two in-laws. Surya sat next to his mother. The atmosphere was indeed becoming more crowded when Dinda came. It was the right time because Ayu had also returned to her home since then so that no one else made a row in Surya's house. So that the arrival of Dinda was enough to make Mr. Wiro laugh again.

Especially when Dinda and Surya reminisce about their childhood, Mr. Wiro to laugh heard the story of Dinda and Surya who fell in the mud puddles of rice fields when the bicycle brakes they use berbongcengan broke. Or those who play the game and Dinda try to cheat by asking for a turn twice in a row when he almost lost.

"You remember Sur, that big Bulek Tin guava? There are still." Dinda.

"Oh, that water guava?" Surya replied with a faint smile in response to Dinda.

"Yes, the one we were at noon passed by and stole it. Throw him with a stone. Ehh, the stone you threw even hit the roof of his house. He finally came out and we got caught. I ran away while lifting my skirt. You also forgot to bring your bike." Dinda laughed as she remembered their story.

"At last we took the bike back but the bike was nowhere before. Bulek Tin keeps it inside his house."

"Oh yes, then we asked your father to take it." Add Surya.

"Yes right."

"Let's not get angry I take your father because he's the head of the village." Surya while chuckling said that.

"Yes, if you are sure Mr. Tin Bulek will not dare to be angry." Dinda still laughed.

"If you remember the old days I always felt funny myself, Sur. We're so naughty."

"Oh yes, where are Yanti, Ghofur, Malik, Ningsih and the others now? I didn't see them a few times."

"Let's go outside the island now, Sur. Follow husband. It's been successful there. Her husband has a shop and lots of buyers. Ghofur remarried to a neighbor from the village. Malik and Ningsih are at home. You're the only one who comes home in a hurry. So where do you meet them."

"You're right, I've never been home long." Surya replied to Dinda with his smile. Seeing that Gina really dislikes it. It turned out that unlike the one he knew before, like other men, Surya could also spread charm.

He seems to have forgotten he was married. How could she spread such charm. Unknowingly Gina was weaving her face.

They talk very familiar like people who have not met for a long time. Mother and Father Surya even just as a listener like himself.

"I'm going to Ayu's house to borrow a charger." Long Gina became bored and she reasoned to go to Ayu's house. Dinda caught a glimpse of it, Surya turned his gaze towards her. Without waiting for Surya's approval, Gina moved from her place. But Surya stopped Gina's sudden steps by pulling her hand. Gina gestured for Surya to explain his point.

"Charge only, right?" Ask Surya. Gina nodded.

"All right." Then Surya took off his hand and did not forget that his lips were smiling. His brownish eyes seemed to want to say something but I don't know what. For a while Gina looked at her eyes and her chest became warm with a faster heartbeat. Aware of that, then Gina hurriedly left them. Don't know why, but the more days that feeling the more often Gina feels. He memorized exactly how he felt and now started to worry about why it happened just like that and in a very fast time.

"True, this must be because of the pellets he's got." Gina exhaled her breath vigorously trying to calm her heartbeat.
