Solar Throne
Lunch

Gina got out of the car and walked ahead of Surya. Surya who saw it felt strange. He was confused as to why Gina was avoiding him. Since the trip Gina also did not say any words. He did not want his words to make him even more embarrassed in the end. As he said earlier this morning while accompanying Surya cooking.

"So, does that mean you can also like people who can't even do what's supposed to be their job?"

"Sorry, Miss?"

Gina was only aware of what she said. He doesn't know what to say.

"Ehhem. Emmm.. that's. I mean..." Gina became stamped unclear. Surya tried to listen to Gina so that she was not wrong. Since he missed it a little, Gina might be angry with him.

"Yes, Miss?" Surya is still waiting for Gina's explanation.

"Ahh, forget it. I thought you were a smart guy turned out to be the same. You're not that smart." Gina got out of her chair and came out of the kitchen. Leaving the confused Surya.

"Oh, you snot-boys. Just don't becus. Miss Gina why don't you come clean. And also, Mr. Surya why can't he know what he means. That was obvious." Mumam Mbak Yuyun was anxious from the front door of the food storage room beside the kitchen. He deliberately left the two men earlier to make room for them to talk like a husband and wife.

"Ahh, why did I say that. I should have just kept it in my head. Why did I get out without even knowing." Gina regretted her stupidity again.

Until now, Gina still regretted it and hoped Surya would not ask her again. But it does seem that Surya is not discussing it anymore. Even when they were in the car, Surya did not ask. He looked unconcerned and it made Gina a little relieved. It's just that what makes Gina unsettled is why did the thought pop into her head? Why did he hope that Surya could accept himself who could not do household chores at all? It was the stupidest thing he had ever thought of in his entire life.

With all the facilities and services she received, Gina never cared if she could cook or even just wash the dishes. She really enjoyed her life without being burdened with basic abilities as a woman who was able to do household chores. But seeing Surya can do everything especially when he is good at doing household chores, it makes Gina a little inferior. The first time in his life he felt he had a deficiency.

As she approached the elevator door, Gina saw Hanna standing in one corner of the lobby. Gina intends to call but she breaks her intention because she sees Hanna being with Bayu. He saw from Hanna's facial expression, it seemed like they were engaged in a debate. And a while later Hanna left Bayu with a face that looked angry.

"Pair quarrel. Then after that it will be made up again and again. That's so sweet." Gina muttered unilaterally at what she had seen from Hanna and Bayu just now.

Gina accidentally got into the elevator and did not wait for Hanna to enter as well. He'll pretend he didn't see it. And true, Hanna half-runningly tried to hunt down the elevator whose door was almost closed.

"Hey, Hanna..." Sapa Gina saw Hanna make the elevator door sensor open again.

"Miss..." Hanna didn't think the person in the elevator was Gina.

They took the same elevator. Gina actually locked her mouth to not comment on what she saw between Hanna and Bayu because she saw a cloudy look on Hanna's face. Surely now his mind is in a mess after a fight with his girlfriend.

"Oh yes, Hanna. For the order of steinless steal raw materials we must add again because of the information I can from the marketing that the products made from steinless steal shelves are very desirable by consumers." Gina tried to get Hanna to talk. Who knows it can distract his mind from the problems he is experiencing.

"Yes, Miss. We have to increase the amount of material demand."

"Let's do it after this."

"Good, Miss." Hanna fell in obedience to Gina.

Meanwhile, Surya entered his study and saw that there were some files placed by his secretary before he came.

It seems true what Mr. Rangga said at that time. That he should have appointed a personal assistant as well to help with his work. It is not always his secretary who helps his work a lot.

Actually Surya felt no need for an assistant because he felt able to do it himself and very master of this field. So that he felt he would be fine without a personal assistant. It's just that, his secretary is getting busier now with the job he's assigned.

🌸🌸🌸

Gina flipped back the file she read. Today the level of concentration on such work is declining. He was still thinking about what he said to Surya this morning. Is he really expecting Surya? He wanted Surya to understand him. Gina thinks it's ridiculous.

Sucks. Why do I have to be like this. Why do I keep thinking about it. Shouldn't I not care about that. I wouldn't bother working in the kitchen. I have Sister Yuyun working on everything. Yeah, correct. Gina took a long breath. He began to convince himself that the present age is not mandatory for women to do household chores. There are housekeepers who can do everything. That's what Gina says.

"Hanna..." Call Gina to the busy Hanna in front of her laptop.

"Yes Miss." Hanna turned her gaze from the laptop towards Gina.

"Can you cook?" Gina's question that was suddenly unrelated to work this time made Hanna frown.

"Can, Miss."

"Feel what you can?" Again Hanna was astonished by Gina's question.

"Our staple food is rice. Can you cook rice?"

"Nation? Of course you can, Miss. Nowadays cooking rice is not as complicated as it used to be."

"Oh yes there is an electric rice cooker." Gina answered as to herself.

"But still I can't cook rice with an electric rice cooker." Then Gina chuckled. Hanna smiled hearing that.

"Feel what else you can, Hanna?"

"Choor, side dish. Yeah like that, Miss."

"What creep?"

"Maranth vegetables, sour vegetables, soup, soto and others, Miss."

"You can cook a lot of food." Gina amazement.

"You can cook bali?"

"Room?" Hanna asked back in surprise.

"Yes, bali chicken, bali egg, bali meat."

"Oh, yes I can, Miss."

"No Miss." Hanna gave a small laugh while answering Gina's question.

"You're so cool." Hanna was eager to laugh at Gina's praise. That's why it's considered cool.

"Maybe it's because I'm used to it, miss. In the early days of learning to cook I also often cried every peel of onions."

"Oh, so it depends on the habits?"

"I think so, Miss."

"Okay, okay..." Gina has understood what Hanna said.

Still busy with his mind, suddenly the phone next to him rang. Surya's name was on his phone screen. Gina is still awkward if she has to face Surya so hesitantly she picks up the phone from Surya.

"Yes." Yeah." Gina's answer was made as flat as possible. His heart is beating fast now.

"Let's have lunch, Miss." Take Surya from the phone conversation.

"Is there a sudden event with a relationship?" Gina asked still by controlling her feelings.

"No Miss, I do want to have lunch with you." Hearing that subconsciously Gina's lips smiled happily. This was the first time Surya had taken lunch together during their marriage.

"All right..." Gina answered still trying her best even though her heart was jumping with excitement.

Gina felt surprised herself why she had to immediately agree to Surya's invitation. Didn't he try to avoid it early because he was afraid Surya asked back the meaning of his words. But now he's really happy that Surya invited him. Is this because the first time Surya invited him to eat together without any work-related events? So the lunch will be just the two of them.

Gina hung up the phone still with a smile on her face. Gina's feelings are completely labile. Sometimes awkward, sometimes happy. Sometimes it's bad, sometimes it likes. That is what has been felt lately to Surya.

"Hanna, I'll have lunch with Surya." Gina said that with a sumringah face.

"Yes, Miss."

"Lunch with Bayu. Because you're always with me, you rarely have time for your boyfriend."

"Yes, Miss." Hanna reviewed the smile. Gina comes out of her room leaving Hanna who is still tidying up her work.

Gina walked out of the lobby of the R-Company. From where Gina was standing, she could see Surya beside her car. With a dark suit, with neatly-domed hair and sunglasses, Surya looks very handsome in Gina's eyes this time. He was in love with Surya at this time. As Surya saw Gina walking towards him, he greeted her with a smile. Seeing that Gina became more and more fond of Surya. He felt that there was no more beautiful smile than the one Surya gave him.

"Where are we going to have lunch?" Ask Gina when she is close.

"In a place you'll love." Surya replied with a warm smile.

"Where?" Gina curious. Surya did not answer and just smiled. Gina became anxious.

"Hey, where's Surya?" Surya still did not want to answer and instead got into the car. Gina followed.

Their car is still running across the highway this hot afternoon. Because Surya did not tell him, Gina finally gave up and let Surya take her to a place that is still in his secret. But finally from the path Gina knew, she knew where they were going.

"Surya, you're going to..."

"Yes, Miss. Place with chocolate pudding dessert. Your favorite."

"You know that place?" Gina looked at Surya who was still driving. Surya nodded.

"How did you know?"

"I know more things than you realize, Miss."

"Oh yeah you were once a spy sent by Papa." Gina laughs. Surya also smiled widely seeing Gina realize that.

"So, how much do you know about me?"

"A lot of it."

"Yes, but how far?"

"You like all foods that have a chocolate flavor. You prefer tea to coffee. You don't like spicy and sour foods. You like to wear skirts rather than pants. You like to wear high heels. I really like Bruno Mars. And I'm gonna need two-plate rice to tell you all my knowledge of you." Hearing that Gina laughed. His eyes sparkled at Surya who knew a lot about him.

"Oh yes, my knowledge has also increased lately. When you sleep you like to spend the place. Sometimes I snore."

"What's? Not likely. I never snore. You must be lying." Gina did not believe Surya's words.

"Do I have to record it, Miss."

"Ahh, no. You're lying." Gina really didn't accept Surya saying that. His face was reddened with laughter and embarrassment. Although denied not snoring, but Gina also realized when she slept will not remember anything so either really snoring or not Gina also did not know. It makes him embarrassed if it turns out he really snores. And Gina was still arguing about snoring when they got to the place promised by Surya.

"You really brought me here. I feel like I haven't eaten here in a long time. Look, the parking lot. Full up. Do we still get the table?" Gina looked out her car glass in agitation.

"I've reserved a table for us, Miss."

"really?" Gina turned her face back to Surya.

"Yes Miss, I know you haven't been here in a long time. So I think it looks like we should have lunch here."

"But why to make all reservations. It's just a regular lunch."

"Everything with you is unusual, Miss." Surya's sentence made Gina cancel her intention to open the car door. He looked at Surya straight. Surya looked back at him. Surya's brown eyes again made Gina's heart beat fast. But then Gina rethink whether it is because of the brownish eyes of Surya that she likes or because the phrase Surya that makes her think about a thing.
