Solar Throne
Cabe Harvest

The weather is very hot. The sun feels almost a little bit from the top of the head. Hanna walked towards the R-Company with the bag on her shoulder. He just returned from lunch. Not with Gina he could choose his own lunch menu. Any food for him as long as the stomach is filled is enough. But if he is with Gina, he must adjust to his wishes at that time.

Although he could eat whatever he wanted, he also began to miss lunch accompanied by all the chatter of Gina. Gina is a person who likes to chat so when with him she will not run out of topics. Gina who likes the world of fashion, likes culinary travel, likes to travel and also all the knowledge of Gina makes it always there are things discussed besides work.

"You know, somehow I'm not really a fan of this field." Gina spoke somewhat in whispers one day while they were having lunch at a Chinese restaurant.

"My interest and talent in fashion. My dream is not to do the pot and frying business but clothes, bags, shoes." Gina drank her lemon splash almost out.

"I want to create a brand that will be known to the world. Which all my products will be in demand of everyone in the world and even they will be scrambling to get it. But whatever the power of my fate finally has to be a seller of pots and fryers." Gina's face turned lethargic.

"But Miss, the pan, the frying pan and all these kitchen tools are precisely business tools that are very much in demand. Imagine how many households there are in this city? Then this country? And R-Company has even gone international. Not only the households, restaurants and their colors that use the tools of the R-Company are also countless. This is amazing, Miss. From the sales cycle that I know R-Compay is in the golden age right now. R-Store in the near future and in the period of just a few moments there will be three places that we open. That signifies R-Company production is in great demand by all walks of life."

"Hmmm... yes, but the pot? Ahh, that's not cool at all. Imagine if it was for example a crop top from Regina Style was an item that was in great demand even the celebrities of the world scrambling to get it. How cool." Gina still denied with her point of view.

"But I think Mr. Rangga is a very genius who can make R-Company this big."

"Yes, I know. He can't even cook but make cookware factories." Mumbled Gina. Hanna smiled in response to her boss. He is running out of words for his boss who thinks in his own way and does not want to be broken by any argument. Silence is the safest thing to do.

Hanna has entered Gina's room now. It had been a week since Gina left and the room had become quiet. It's just him and Gina's job. When Hanna had just opened a file, the door to her room was knocked. A man appeared from behind the door.

"Oh, Bay. What's up?" Ask Hanna from behind her desk. Bayu held up a plastic glass that Hanna guessed was her favorite cappucino.

"Ahh, why bother."

"I see you've been busy lately. While your boss is on vacation and hasn't returned yet." Hanna smiled at that and then received the still hot coffee from Bayu's hand.

"That's why he's the boss. Because he can do that."

"Well, that's an abuser of his name department."

"Hey, he did it because it gave us a salary, Bay."

"Well, you're this. You really are the kind of clerk who is submissive and not demanding. You deserve to be liked by many bosses and be the personal assistant to the sole heir of R-Company." Bayu looked at Hanna.

"If one day Miss Gina becomes the president of the R-Company, you'll be number two after that. You're gonna look cool."

"Ahh, what are you saying." Hanna shook her hand.

"Hey, Mr. Surya is only a son-in-law in Pak Rangga's family. So it does not rule out the possibility that one day the position will be transferred to Miss Gina if she has been able to master the R-Company." Obviously Bayu.

"You know there's a lot of gossip going around out there about this transfer of power in R-Company. An oddity if the president is not a biological child but a daughter-in-law. You know why?"

"Yes, you told me once. You said that because Miss Gina is a new person in the business, while Mr. Surya has mastered all the terrain so that Mr. Rangga is more entrusting R-Company to Mr. Surya even though he is only a son-in-law and was once only an assistant."

"It's like that."

"Yes, Bay. Let it be their business. We just have to work here according to the prevailing SOP." Hanna gave a smile to Bayu.

"You're too good, Hanna." Praise Bayu sincerely.

"It's not that I'm good, but I don't want to interfere in other people's affairs. I just have to do what I have to do."

"Yes, okay..." Bayu looked at Hanna gently. The woman in front of him was extraordinary to him. Always see things from his positive perspective.

Suddenly Hanna's phone rang. He saw the name on his phone screen and it was Gina.

"Long-life. It seems like he feels like we're talking about it." Hanna laughed a little. Bayu raised his eyebrows.

"Thank you for the capucino." Hanna beckons Bayu to leave the room so she can receive a call from her superior. Bayu nodded and revealed his sweet smile.

Hanna then picks up Gina's phone.

"Yes Miss."

"Hannaaaaaaaa...." Gina's voice from across there.

"I miss you." Gina who likes to be frank is never shy to express her feelings.

"Yes Miss. I've missed you too. How are you?"

"good. I was in the garden picking chilies. Then remember yourself. You like to eat fried foods with cayenne pepper. So later when I come back I will bring the original chili from Surya village."

"Ahh, don't bother, Miss."

"No, I want you to try the chillies planted in Surya village and then you'll scream out the pungency. You know the chilli here tastes a lot more spicy than the chili in town. And you're gonna have to try."

"None Miss. Thank ye. Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay. I'll pick all these chilies and I'll bring them for you."

"Yes Miss. I'm looking forward to that." Then Gina's voice was no longer heard a sign of the phone connection being closed.

Hanna smiled knowing the attitude of her superior to her. Gina sometimes could not put herself as a superior and more often thought of her as a friend. It often makes Hanna awkward especially in the presence of other employees. Gina often holds her arm when walking or leaning on her shoulder while sitting next to each other.

Honestly speaking, Hanna often felt uneasy about it because she was Gina's subordinate. But seeing that was her basic nature, Hanna slowly learned to understand. Gina likes it that way. And finally Hanna knows why Gina becomes easily familiar with other people who show a good attitude to her is because in fact she often feels lonely. That's what Hanna caught from Gina's stories to her between work or lunch together.

Meanwhile, Gina was very enthusiastic about the reddish-green chilies in front of her. His eyes seemed refreshed to see the chili garden which is currently dominated by red. He and some workers were picking chilies ready to be harvested. Surya also picked it up. He had brought a bucket full of fresh chilies.

This morning after breakfast, Surya pulled out his motorbike and said goodbye to Gina who was watering flowers in the yard.

"Miss, I'm going to the garden. Today there will be a crop." Gina who was still holding the water hose turned to Surya.

"Panen cabe?"

"Yes, Miss."

"I'll go first, Miss." Gina gave isyara with her eyes. But when Surya pulls his gas motor, Gina yells at him to stop.

"What's up, Miss?"

"I'm coming along." Surya frowned. Gina knew what Surya was thinking. He must be amazed at what he does.

"I want to pick chilies. I haven't been on a tour for a long time. So, can I take a tour of your garden?" Surya smiled broadly at Gina's reasoning.

"Alright, Miss. Let's." Let's." With a carefree face, Gina directly climbed onto the top of the Solar motor.

Gina wiped her sweat away because of the hot weather that hit this afternoon. He also saw the sun so hot this afternoon that when he looked up then his eyes would be very glare by the bright sunlight.

"It's wearing, Miss." Suddenly Surya had put a cap on Gina's head.

"What's this?" Gina looked up and grabbed him and found a hat made of woven bamboo and wide-shaped on top of his head.

"For you not to overheat, Miss." Finding Surya as concerned makes Gina's heart feel flowery. His smile was slowly drawn.

"Thank you." Gina said later. Surya just nodded and smiled and continued his work picking chili in its original place.

Gina was still blushing in place. It turned out that Surya was that careful. He did not want Gina to overheat so he gave her his cap while he himself had to heat himself this afternoon. It made Gina feel that Surya's actions were very romantic.

I didn't think it turned out Surya could be romantic too. Gina's mind while stealing a glance towards Surya in the row of chilies across she stood.

Gina's chest pounded back to see Surya there. That guy is all-around able. He could be the president of R-Company as well as farmers in this village. How could there be a man with such a large amount of talent. He can fix the tile, patch the pot, sweep, iron, wash the dishes and wash the clothes all of which are women's jobs. But he just can't do all that. Being here for a few days makes Gina know what Surya can do.

Without feeling Gina smiled looking at Surya. And Surya who felt noticed so turned to look at him. Gina who saw that became misbehaved and hurriedly turned her eyes away. Surya who had seen that became smiling.

Surya is not so bad. His face was ordinary but he could make me flutter like this. Maybe the pellets messed up the feeling system in my heart but it's really very beautiful and I want to enjoy it. Just sec. I'll enjoy it for a minute. Enjoy this beautiful pellet.

Still busy arranging the pounding on her noisy chest, Ayu called out from the edge of the garden. Gina, Surya and the few workers who were picking chilies there simultaneously turned their heads.

Ayu waved her hand while exclaiming that it was time for lunch and told them to stop work for a while to eat. Gina looks towards Surya and he hints for Gina to get close to Ayu who turns out to be coming with Joko carrying food in both their hands.

"What is that, Yu?" Gina asked after getting close while taking off her hat. Ayu stands under a beautiful flamboyant tree and is being helped by Joko widening a mat.

"You want a picnic here?"

"Yes, let's have a picnic." Ayu fell out wide in response to Gina.

"Let's eat first." Ayu opened one by one the luggage they brought. There is white rice with steaming hot steam, yellow vegetables that Ayu said as vegetable lodeh, fried salted fish, tofu and tempeh, fried chicken and omelet.

The menu looked very simple but looking at it made the hungry Gina unable to resist eating right away.

"Where's the plate, Yu?" Ask Gina.

"Wear this, mbak." Ayu thrust banana leaves like those workers who also use banana leaves as their food base.

"How is it?" Gina flipped through the leaves.

Surya took the leaf in Gina's hand and folded it and formed like a bowl and pinned a small twig to lock the leaf away.

"It's Miss." Surya returns it to Gina. Gina received it and began to spoon the rice into her leaf plate. He took all the side dishes for his wedding friend.

"Mom's really good to taste." Praise Gina for the food she had in her hand after her first feed.

"Who used to dong his assistant chef." Ayu.

"You helped me cook?" Surya did not immediately believe.

"No. But my mother." Ayu cengengesan after that.

"Basic, I thought you were helping." Surya. Gina ignored them both and was busy feeding the rice into her mouth.

Bali telor makes it not care right and left. Without the taste of white rice and a Bali egg runs out in a plate of Gina leaves. Seeing that Surya thrust a glass of drinking water in a plastic glass. Gina accepted it with pleasure and gave Surya a smile. But after that there was a phone coming in so Surya had to leave them to answer his phone.

"Ahh, I've always been envious of seeing you two." Chirping Ayu suddenly.

"Why?" Ask Gina.

"You always look sweet." Hearing that Gina looked at Surya and Surya who were standing in the distance there suddenly looked back at her. Either by chance or because she felt noticed but when their eyes met, Gina felt her cheeks warm.

"Well, can't you guys hide something like this? It makes people who are near you as if only contracting on this earth. You really make the atmosphere around you turn pink." Ayu sprayed Gina with her theory.

"What are you talking about." Gina flicked her hand trying to cover her arching hue as it had been teased by a snot child of Ayu's age.

"Know not, Ma'am. I used to think that Mas Surya was a cold, ignorant person, but after seeing how to treat you, my perspective on him changed."

"Oh yeah, really?" Gina pretended not to believe Ayu but she was actually very happy with what she heard.

"Yes, he seems very attentive to you. Very responsible and what impressed me the most was how I looked at you. A loving look. Like the eyes of a mas Surya does not want to be separated from you, Ma'am."

"Hey, why are you? Are you an expression expert until you can read someone's face." Ayu laughed loudly at Gina's accusation to her.

"Would I go to college in psychology?"

"It looks like it's good for you." Gina supports.

From where she was sitting, Gina saw Surya was seriously receiving a call. Is it true what Ayu said to her just now? Was Surya really like that to him? Why did hearing that Gina's heart became so happy? He felt like his feelings were reciprocated before he asked for it.

Surya had already finished receiving the phone and was now walking towards him. Wide footstep with long legs. Tone ripe sapodilla skin that makes it look masculine. And the brown eyes that made him hypnotized every time he looked. Gina's heart was pounding again for so many times. Without feeling Gina fell to look at Surya who is now just a step away from him. Surya returned his smile.

"Miss, we need to get back soon." Surya said after being near Gina.
