Solar Throne
Benign Pigeon Pinocchio

"Mister Yuyun. I miss Surya." Gina said in a weak voice.

"What is he now? What has he eaten yet? Is he busy?" Gina drags a plastic chair near where Mbak Yuyun sits and sits down.

"Call me, Miss." Advice Sister Yuyun.

"It." Gina answered still in a weak voice as if powerless.

"Then?"

"He didn't lift it."

"Solar must be busy, Miss."

"It was so busy that I didn't have time to call back and ignore all my calls and messages."

"For sure, Miss."

"My heart is not calm." Said Gina while now leaning her head on the shoulders of Mbak Yuyun who was lower than her.

"I think hearing his voice is enough if I can't meet him. But even his voice I can't hear."

"It's okay, Miss. Mr. Surya is just busy and definitely doesn't mean to ignore Miss."

"Didn't she eat, shower or sleep to the point of not having time to look at her phone and see my messages."

"I know what it's like to be a lady. But Miss is still very lucky only to be left out of town by Mr. Surya. As for me, I can't even see my husband anywhere. He would never return to this world again. Even though I miss her so much, I will never be able to see her again. Even in my dreams I can't." The sentence of Mbak Yuyun while continuing to iron and let Gina rest her head on her shoulders.

It was Gina's habit of being sad and needing a talkative. Ms. Yuyun for him is very adaptable when at home and in this state.

"I'm sorry I made Ms. Yuyun sad." Reply Gina again still with eyes staring out the glass window in front of her.

"I'm not sad because I think of my husband who's gone, miss. For me, God's destiny has nothing to change. So I'm willing to let my husband go to God." Ms. Yuyun put the shirt she folded next to her along with another pile of clothes.

"I'm sad to see you upset like this."

"Do I look upset?"

"Very."

Gina then raised her head and held both of her cheeks.

"How's this? If I'm upset, my face will be wrinkled. I should immediately wash my face with cold water." Gina stood up from her seat and rushed to leave Mbak Yuyun.

"There's ice water in the fridge, isn't there?" Gina turned right at the door making sure to Mbak Yuyun who was still following with her gaze.

"She, Miss. There's cucumbers too."

"Good." Gina then really left. Sister Yuyun who saw that so smiled while shaking her head. That was the kind of Gina he had known since childhood. Easily change attitude. A moment of moody, a moment cheerful, a moment fierce, a moment good. But Gina's nature cannot change under any circumstances. Spoiled. Actually, until adulthood Gina even still has that trait. Madam Yuyun was a person who often accepted her potent nature to date.

Meanwhile Gina opens the refrigerator in the kitchen. Take a bottle of cold water and also cucumbers. He poured cold water into a basin. Then took a knife and then sliced thinly the cucumber that he used to wear as a mask to refresh his face. And only Mbak Yuyun knows that so every shopping never misses to buy cucumbers and tomatoes because both vegetables are Gina's favorite for masks on her face.

"Alright, it seems like it's been since yesterday I was upset so surely my skin was also stressed. So I'll apologize to her by treating her well now." Gina sat in the living room and placed all her mask supplies on the table in front of her.

"My fair, glowing skin, forgive me for ignoring you." Gina started rubbing her face with cold water using a handkerchief after first washing her face before.

"Ahh, it feels so fresh." Gina felt her skin become fresh. Then after finishing wiping his entire face with cold water, he then lay on the sofa as one by one put cucumber slices on his face.

"I'll let my skin rest for an hour. Then I'll take a shower and sleep happily. Tomorrow's the weekend and I'm gonna pamper myself at the spa." Gina was done putting the cucumber over her entire face.

"Surya must take responsibility for all this. On my stressed skin, on my busy mind and on my longing heart. He really made me this miserable." Gina then decided to enjoy her cucumber mask by quietly sleeping on the sofa in the middle room.

Gina squirms realizing that she just fell asleep. He then felt the cucumber on his face. But the cucumbers were no longer on his face. Gina opened her eyes to see where the cucumber had fallen. But he soon woke up from his bed. He was not in the middle room but was already in his own room. He was in his comfortable bed. And from the window of his room that must have been closed last night, the sun has begun to show its light.

"Am I sleeping while walking? How can I be here?" Gina seemed to think and remember.

"It looks like I'm so tired that I didn't notice moving on my own." Gina hit her head softly.

Gina got up and got out of her bed. He still wears his work clothes yesterday because he only plans to mask for a while and then take a shower. It turned out that exhaustion made him unable to do all the things he had planned before.

Gina then changed her clothes with her favorite home clothes. Short t-shirts and shorts. He did not want to shower because his stomach was hungry. Last night out of panic fear for her wrinkled facial skin Gina hurriedly masked and not even dinner. Then he fell asleep and missed his dinner.

Gina walked down the stairs excitedly for the breakfast she had been waiting for. His stomach really wants to be filled right now. Gina immediately headed to the dining table and found golden fried rice that was still reflecting hot steam. Nearby there are eggs and fried sausages. That made Gina's stomach increasingly thrashed want to enter the food. Gina then spooned the fried rice into her plate and took a seat in one of the chairs. But when feeding fried rice into his mouth, he felt that fried rice was someone's typical fried rice. And from the tail of her eyes, Gina caught someone in the kitchen. Gina's eyes stared fixedly at the figure. Surya is there. Still with a shirt whose arms he folded up to his elbows, Surya cooked in the kitchen. Gina's stomach suddenly like nausea or brag or whatever Gina did not understand it when she saw Surya with her wide back body. His feeling of longing exploded. There is a sense of happiness but behind it there is also a sense of annoyance because remembering Surya who ignored phone calls and short messages that Gina sent him all along.

"It's nice that the lover of the heart has returned." The voice from beside Gina. He nodded and looked at the source of the voice. Mbak Yuyun seemed to smile broadly teasingly at Gina.

"What the fuck." Gina continued the breakfast of fried rice which must have been made by Surya. The taste is fried rice that is usually made by the man who has missed it all along.

"So, how was last night?" Mbak Yuyun's tone still teased Gina.

"What's all night?"

"Do you miss each other? I see Mr. Surya as if he woke up a little during the day this time. He hurried to the kitchen and cooked for the lady. Then after Miss wakes up, Miss breakfast is like a starving person."

"Ahh, you are indeed young people who do not know anything." Madam Yuyun shook her head like she was disappointed. But Gina was completely clueless with Mbak Yuyun's sudden change in attitude like that. From a cheerful attitude to a sullen attitude.

"Miss must be so happy that Mr. Surya has come home." Ma'am Yuyun teased again.

"No, it's normal." Gina's reply was made as flat as possible to cover up her true feelings.

"really? Then why was there anything like that last night?" Mbak Yuyun widened her eyes in disbelief at Gina's response.

"No, I'm not upset."

"Then who told me that I miss Mr. Sun?"

"Of course."

"Well, Miss Gina really said she missed Mr. Surya last night."

"Who said that? I never said it." Gina still pretends to forget.

"Well, let's just say I was dreaming last night." Ms. Yuyun then left Gina at the dinner table.

"Solar, let me tell you about my dream last night." Mbak Yuyun's sentence was very loud almost like a shout. Gina who heard that then glared her eyes. But Ma'am Yuyun kept going and didn't know Gina was panicking if Mbak Yuyun told her what they were talking about last night. Ma'am Yuyun seemed to be talking to Surya. I don't know what they're talking about but it makes Gina really nervous.

Gina was still watching over Sister Yuyun and Surya who were still chatting in the kitchen. They look good chatting. Then suddenly Surya turned his head towards Gina along with Mbak Yuyun as well. I don't know what Mbak Yuyun said to Surya he finally looked at Gina with a big smile.

Then Surya walked out of the kitchen and approached Gina. Gina seems misbehaved because she doesn't know what to do. I want it to feel like he's gone from there but it will make Ms. Yuyun more vulnerable. But if it stays there he may be confused what to say when Surya asks the truth of Mbak Yuyun's story. Meanwhile, Mbak Yuyun seemed to laugh happily while looking at Gina who was glaring at him from afar.

"Good morning, Miss." Sapa Surya by carrying a plate containing cucumber slices. From the shape and aroma Gina guessed it was pickles.

"Morning..." Gina replied pretending to be calm while continuing to enjoy her breakfast.

"I made this pickle to complement that fried rice, Miss."

"really?" Gina then scoops the pickle to cover her nervousness.

"What's it like, Miss. It's better to eat fried rice with pickles, isn't it?"

"Yes, pretty. It doesn't feel too sour."

"Of course Miss, I didn't put vinegar in it at all."

"Then? How does it feel to stay sour?"

"That's your used cucumber mask last night."

"What?" Gina widened her eyes by what Surya said.

"Seriously???" Gina panicked and started to get angry.

"Of course, Miss." Answer Surya.

"Of course I lied." Finally Surya's laughter broke out as well. Since then he could not bear to see Gina who looked awkward towards him.

"You know, even with a fork, I was able to kill someone." Gina said with a frown because she was upset by Surya.

"I believe that, Miss. Even with your bare hands you can do that."

"That's you know." Gina was still calm. Though his chest felt thumping to see the face of Surya in front of him after a few days did not meet.

"How are you, Miss?"

"Good." Gina replied briefly because this time she became upset.

How did he ask me when he met? Why didn't he return my message or pick up my phone? So sucks.

"Are you very busy in R-Company?"

"No day is not busy." Gina's still cold.

"Are you not feeling well?" Surya asked because he saw Gina who seemed to only briefly answer all her questions.

"No, I'm fine." Then Gina left Surya on the dining table alone. Surya's gaze followed Gina's movement as she walked up the stairs to climb upstairs to her room.

"That's how Miss Gina gets angry, sir. As I said earlier maybe Miss Gina is having PMS so it needs to be calmed down."

"All right, I'll calm him down." Surya said with a smile to Mbak Yuyun who cleaned Gina's plate.

Surya got up from the dining table and went to where Gina went.

"It's very exciting with the two of them who 'play cat-kissing' like that." Ma'am Yuyun looked at Surya who started to climb the stairs.

"But Mr. Surya looks cool when he says 'well, I'll calm him down'. What a sweet man. Miss Gina will definitely be destroyed by Mr. Surya. I'm sure." Ms. Yuyun then brought Gina's plate to the kitchen with a smile that expands her lips to see the behavior of her master who is tame-benign pigeon so. If there is no Surya he misses, if he has met his song like indifference.
