Solar Throne
The miss is heavy

The cloud began to creep into the city. The wind that was originally blowing gently turned even firmer. The leaves with yellowing color began to fall. Flamboyant flower petals also fall. Gina still enjoyed the air that turned cold due to the wind until the point of rain water began to fall more and more rapidly. Finally Gina stood up from her seat leaving a bench in the garden to avoid the rain. But just a few steps suddenly someone was paddling him. Gina slowed down her steps while looking to her left side.

"Wood..." The man called by his name smiled.

"Let me drive you inside, Miss." Gina did not reply but she continued her steps and this time more casually because the rain did not wet her.

"Thank you, Bayu." Gina set foot on the terrace next to the lobby.

Bayu nodded politely receiving a thank you from Gina. Now he began to fold his umbrella and rub his left arm wet with rain water because the umbrella he was holding only covered part of his body.

"Where are you from?" Gina asked Bayu who was still holding an umbrella in her hand.

"I'm from lunch in the cafeteria, Miss." Answer Bayu respectfully.

"I'm sorry today I had to make Hanna have lunch with me." Gina said with a bad feeling.

"Tomorrow you can have lunch with him again." Added Gina.

"It's okay, Miss. That doesn't matter."

"You know, I miss having lunch with Hanna while chatting about things. And this opportunity is coming, so I won't miss it."

"That's great, Miss. Please have lunch with Hanna if you really want to. We could choose another time to be together."

"Well, you're a very understanding boyfriend. Hanna must be happy to have your boyfriend."

"Yes, it seems so, Miss."

"All right, I'm going to my room. Thanks again."

"Together, Miss." Bayu nodded his head and Gina left the place.

🌸🌸🌸

It was late at night when Gina was in the car after work. He leaned his head against the headrest. He just sat quietly enjoying the trip which should take about 30 minutes to get to his house.

There's something weird. He used to be with Surya and now a driver has to take him wherever he goes. Usually he will chat with Surya but it would not be ethical if he invited Surya driver to chat. He is not the type of person who can talk to just anyone. So sitting still during the trip home is the best for him. While passing through the R-Store that some time ago Surya opened with him, Gina suddenly remembered him again.

What is he doing now. Is he still busy? He hasn't called back until now. Or is the phone broken so that missed calls from me are not visible on her phone? Gina looked at her phone screen which showed Surya's phone number.

So annoying. And I miss him. Gina took a heavy breath.

"Please stop at that department store." Gina told the driver in front of her.

"None right."

Inside the convenience store, Gina headed straight for the snack place. He chose his favorite potato chips.

"What's finished? Oh yes, soy sauce." A man carries a basket full of groceries.

"Sissue too." The woman next to him then went to the place where the tissue was placed. Then a little later he came back with a big box of tissue.

"What else?" The man who seemed to be the woman's husband looked at his wife while giving her a smile.

"I think this is enough."

"All right."

"Oh wait. We have to buy this corn pop corn for our snack to watch the movie." Said the woman with braided back hair.

"Why not just buy this pop corn?" The man picked up a large packaged corn caramel pop near Gina's stand. Gina who was there so listen to the conversation of the young couple.

"No, we have to make our own caramel corn pop so that when eating it is still warm."

"But it'll make you bother."

"It's okay, it's not troublesome. Just pop corn. It's easy to make it."

"Well, you're always the one I can count on the most. Good at cooking and also kind. I love you." Praise the man.

"I love you too." Reply his wife like not caring about the whereabouts of Gina who is still near them.

Hearing all that Gina so smiled wryly. While thinking about how they can talk friendly without caring about the people around him. That makes him jealous. It seems like a pleasure to shop for the needs of a home together, cook together, eat together, watch tv together. Doing a lot of things together couples must be exciting. It seemed like next time he had to try that with Surya in order to feel that excitement as well.

Thinking about it Gina then smiled to herself while leaving the couple still choosing what else they should buy. Gina took mineral water and paid for her groceries at the cash register.

When he got out of the department store Gina did not immediately enter his car but he sat at a table provided by the department store. He drank the bottled mineral water and opened the potato chips. Eat it slowly while enjoying the highway in front of him. It was dark, the lights of passing vehicles alternately illuminated the seat. Gina misses Surya to be lazy to do anything. He just wanted to let his mind be filled with Surya, Surya and Surya.

Suddenly a car entered the department store with a light shining on his face. Gina squinted her eyes trying to avoid the glare that hit her eyes.

"She..." The person who came out from inside the Corolla Altis greeted Gina. Looks like the woman recognized herself since entering the parking lot.

"Sunday..." Answer the greeting Gina.

Sunday who was also alone came to the department store with the driver was taking a seat in front of Gina.

"Our fate has the husband of a businessman, we become alone like this." Said Sunday while looking at him with a big smile.

"You're right. You even got a driver along, too."

"How can I drive my own car, I can't drive." Sunday laughed at the end of the sentence.

"Oh, I forgot that." Gina also followed him laughing.

"But you're getting spoiled now? You're with the driver too." Sunday teased.

"This is the result of having an overprotective husband." Gina answered by lifting her chin.

"Waw..right said Faris. Mr. Surya is cool."

"cool? What did Faris tell you about him."

"He was a kind, gentle, loving and very considerate person."

"How did he know?" Gina frowned at the sight of Sunday.

"It looks like Faris was once treated that way too by her." Sunday and laugh again. Gina could not help but laugh because of the silliness spoken by the friend who had stretched her.

"Solar looks very close to Faris." Then they laugh at the same time.

"You're alone? Where's Cena?" Gina dizzy to see Sunday just go alone to the department store.

"Oh my God, I forgot." Suddenly Sunday stood up from his seat agitatedly.

"I've got to buy diapers for Cena. Why am I sitting with you." Sunday went into the department store. Gina shook her head looking at Sunday's own confused manner like that.

He saw Sunday shopping in the department store. The first place he went was a row of baby diapers from various brands and sizes. Gina so think what after getting married and having a daughter a woman will like Sunday. Going out of the house with just a simple look and buying the needs of his son is always the main goal.

Gina was still watching Sunday who now had brought a basket full of groceries containing almost all baby goods to the cashier. Gina took another sip of her mineral water and turned her gaze towards her phone. Surya hasn't contacted him yet. Not even sending a short message.

"This is me changing." Sunday is in front of his desk now.

"What's this?" Gina pointed at the snack that Sunday had placed in front of her.

"I've finished your potato chips. So I have to replace it." Sunday smiled broadly.

"What the fuck. You think I mind you doing it?"

"No. I know you're lonely and need potato chips at the moment." Sunday laughed after saying that.

"You are this, you!!!" Gina pretended to hit Sunday. That's why Sunday hastened to get out of there laughing. Sunday got into her car after waving her hand. Gina retaliated. But just Sunday out of the parking lot of the department store, Gina's phone rang.

"Why else would he." Gina muttered that the name on her phone was Sunday.

"Gina, play in my house if you're lonely." Sunday's sentence when Gina picks up her phone.

"Let's play together. As fellow wives left behind by husbands working out of town, we have to entertain each other. Don't go with potato chips. It'll just put on your miss weight and also put on your weight." Sunday added laughter at the end of the sentence.

"Well, if I feel lonely, I'll play with Cena."

"Good, I'm looking forward to it."

At this time Gina got down the car and immediately went inside the house as soon as she reached the terrace. Again, the house feels lonely. There would be no interlocutor who could calm him down. There was no shady look when he looked at her and no gentle smile that drove him just before going to bed. None of that was when Surya wasn't with him. This is what is called longing.

True what people say, longing is hard. A person who is longing can feel as if time is going slow. A day feels like a year. Gina sighed heavily while climbing the stairs. There was a sound of music coming from behind. It must be Yuyun who was playing dangdut music.

Gina stopped her steps. The song was played by Surya when they were at his home in the village. Hearing that suddenly Gina stopped her steps and turned towards the source of the voice. He began to approach the back of his house.

Right, in one of the rooms at the back of his house, Ms. Yuyun was ironing while the mangosteen followed the rhythm of the music from his portable wireless speaker. That speaker was Gina's gift. She knew Ms. Yuyun liked to listen to music so Gina bought her a speaker that she could take with her everywhere. When cooking in the kitchen, ironing, drying laundry even while sweeping the yard.

Gina knew working in such a big house must have been Madam Yuyun also once felt lonely. So that he will entertain himself by listening to his favorite songs while he works. Even the phone used by Yuyun now also Gina who bought it. Gina remembers the moment Gina gave her a surprise by giving Mbak Yuyun a smartphone.

At that time Gina bought a mobile phone given to Mbak Yuyun through an online shopping site aimed at the name of Mbak Yuyun. A courier came, Gina who was sitting in the living room knew it seemed like it was a package of deliveries for the Staircase Assistant. Gina deliberately did not move from her seat and let Mbak Yuyun receive his own package.

"What's? Me? I'm not shopping online, Mom. Seriously. I just couldn't find a way to buy it. Looks like this was misdelivered, Mas." Ma'am Yuyun refused.

"But this is true of this address and is also true of your name, isn't it?"

"Yes, but I really didn't buy that." Point Ms. Yuyun at the package that is still carried by the courier.

"That means it's yours, Ma'am. This please accept, I also still have to deliver another package. So I was in a hurry. Thank you." Thank you." The courier had given the package owned by Mbak Yuyun and left with a motorcycle with many packages in the back seat.

Gina who saw Mbak Yuyun looks still dumbly so hold back laughter. When Yuyun brought in her package still in astonishment, Gina approached her.

"My package huh, Ma'am?" Tanya Gina pretended to be relaxed.

"No idea, Miss. It's a package but on my behalf. I never shop this." Ma'am Yuyun was still with a confused face.

"Mr Yuyun forgot maybe." Answer Gina casually.

"Miss, how can I forget that I never did. I just don't know how to shop online. I shop in the market. Bid and then pay. Already, just like that." Definitely Ms. Yuyun.

"Yes, let that be the name of the order is indeed mbak Yuyun. Just open it."

"Don't Miss. I don't feel buying."

"If Ms. Yuyun doesn't want to, let me open it." Gina retrieved the package from the hands of Ms. Yuyun and brought it to the kitchen to look for scissors.

"But Miss, it's not mine. Later if the real one is looking for how?" Ma'am Yuyun was tailing Gina.

"Mistake your own name and address here." Gina ignored the words of her domestic assistant and still opened the package.

"Oh my God, a cell phone." Gina pretended to be shocked. Mbak Yuyun squatted towards Gina opening the package. Mom Yuyun's eyes suddenly rounded.

"Other than a cell phone, I can't possibly afford a phone that good, Miss."

"But what if someone wants to buy it for Ms Yuyun?" Gina squealing.

"There are people who give expensive items to others especially me. That's impossible, Miss. My friends won't be able to buy that for me."

"So Ma'am Yuyun thought I wouldn't be able to?" Gina said while shaking her waist.

"I mean Miss?"

"This is for Madam Yuyun." Gina handed the new phone to Madam Yuyun.

"But, Miss. How can?"

"Sir Yuyun, I am a friend who can buy this phone."

"What's? So then... This... from Miss?" Gina nodded.

"Why, Miss? It's very expensive. I know from the commercials on TV."

"Sir Yuyun, since we are best friends then it means nothing to me. Just put this phone on and throw away the old cell phone, Yuyun, whose alarm made me have a headache when I heard it."

"Oh my God, thank you, Miss." Mbak Yuyun immediately scattered a hug to Gina because she was very happy to get a phone as good as that.

"But, how do I wear it, miss?" Gina smiled broadly at the innocent face of Mbak Yuyun.

Gina was indeed very close to Mbak Yuyun and already considered her like a family of her own. Indeed, since the past, only Sister Yuyun was her friend at home and was always there for her. Therefore, Gina felt that Sister Yuyun was like her own brother.

Gina approached Yuyun who was still seriously ironing while having a beard. Gina then sat down in the chair that was not far from Yuyun's mother working. Feeling like there was someone else also in the place, Madam Yuyun turned to Gina.

"Oh my God..." Ma'am Yuyun was shocked.

"I think ghosts. It turns out Miss Gina. Just be surprised."

"Mister Yuyun. I miss Surya." Gina said in a weak voice. Mbak Yuyun raised her eyebrows hearing a rare sentence spoken suddenly by Gina.
