"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were going to have a foreign investor?"
"It's not something I've planned, miss."
"Then?"
"Mr Adskhan is on vacation here and I want to be his 'travel guide' in exchange for me being able to introduce our business to him."
"really?" Search Gina.
"Why is a man as rich as Mr. Adskhan too stingy to pay for a real tour guide?"
"That's because the tour guide who had accompanied Mr. Adskhan to the last two destinations of their tour I paid cash so that I could replace him and make an approach. There are still a few more places they'll visit and I'm the next one to do it."
"Oh my God, why do you bother to do it. You can get your subordinates. You're not a messenger anymore."
"Because I want to do it myself, Miss. I also have a mission that is to introduce the business from the owner directly."
"Hello, you've forgotten I'm the one you should call the owner." Gina protested.
"Okay, but technically I'm currently the one holding the whole R-Company, Miss."
"Yes, okay, you just got cocky." Gerricks Gina.
"After all, isn't that too flashy? He can definitely read your intentions."
"Of course Mr. Adskhan knows, Miss. We've approached before we get to this stage."
"Aahh, it's up to you. Approach or whatever it is I don't understand. You who certainly already understand very well must how. But why should there be me too? Why bring me all in this approach? You want to teach me to be a tour guide?" Gina glares.
Or even the comfort woman?" Added.
"no need. Thank ye. I was born as the successor to R-Company. Not the tour guide."
"But Miss, your presence beside me at this moment is very important."
"Why am I important? Am I in the production division also in charge of accompanying your guests?"
"Not Miss."
"Then what?" Gina was about to explode talking to Surya.
"Because you are my wife."
"What?" Gina blinked her eyes many times. His head suddenly dizzy listening to Surya say that. Inevitably he had to admit facts that he did not expect at all.
Mr. Rangga stood on the balcony of the yacht. He and Bu Marina were at sea on their way to Canada. His face revealed a smile looking at the contents of the message on his phone.
"You look so happy." Said Bu Marina who came while confirming the thick clothes. He felt he had to protect his body from the cold sea breeze tonight.
"Stars scattered. It makes tonight so beautiful." Mr. Rangga clasped his wife's fingers.
"What's this?" Bu Marina blushed to be treated like that. It felt like he hadn't felt something like this for a long time. And since her husband's 'retirement' so treat her like when they were newlyweds first.
"Let's enjoy our old days like this. Always together and don't think what tomorrow will be like." Mr. Rangga embraces his shoulder facing the high seas. Their ship is still running on its route.
"I even thought I'd order chicken porridge breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Is there?" Mr. Rangga frowned hearing his wife's words. Bu Marina smiled funny because she had managed to prank her husband.
A report went into Surya's phone to Mr. Rangga that until now his approach to Mr. Adskhan has been going well. Finally it was Surya who could be the guide of Mr. Adskhan and not someone from another company. Surya knows many other companies are already eyeing Mr. Adskhan for them to approach. But Surya has a very subtle but on target way so Mr. Adsghan received Surya well and even welcomed when Surya offered to be a guide for his trip in the country.
And now Gina and Surya are on their way to follow Mr. Adskhan's car with the group that escorts him. Mr. Adskhan's car has begun to be seen from a distance in the cracks of other cars on this crowded highway.
"That's their car." Show Gina. Surya nodded and still looked towards the front.
"I think you can definitely be a friend to Mrs Adskhan."
"Don't Madame Adskhan, I can also accompany Mr. Adskhan." Answer Gina casually.
"No Miss, let Mr. Adskan be my business. You just have to accompany Mrs Adskhan to feel comfortable while you're here."
"Well, I'll be his comfort woman." Gina rests her head on the headrest.
"Am I the one who looks like he can't fulfill your request?"
"Well, you've really changed a lot. Or maybe your current position makes you show your true nature." Gina looked at Surya sharply.
"I've always been myself, Miss."
"So that means that's what you're like?" Surya raised an eyebrow and smiled widely. Gina was weaving her lips in response to Surya. Just then their car turned into a courtyard of an ancient magnificent building. Historical museum.
"I'm sorry for making you wait." Surya said when he faced Mr. Adskhan.
"It's okay. I understand what's going on. The newlyweds need a lot of time for both." Temptation Mr. Adskhan. Surya reviews the smile. Gina wondered why Surya was just doing that. Though they were arguing earlier, it was not as Mr. Adskhan thought. And that pisses him off a little. But finally he also let out a smile as Madame Adskhan looked at him.
"Let's start here." Bring Surya.
"This is a museum of struggle, sir. Our country used to be a colony for hundreds of years so that many people died while fighting. This is our nation's traditional weapon. Each region, we have our own distinctive weapons. And our town has this, spiky bamboo. This is the weapon that the warriors use to fight the invaders." Surya pointed at a bamboo with a pointed tip similar to a spear.
"It's just a wood? The bamboo?" Mr. Adskhan was amazed that bamboo could be used as a weapon.
"Yes, this is the weapon of our ancestors. Very traditional. Back then our ancestors didn't all have firearms, sir." Mr. Adskhan mangosteen listening to Surya's explanation. Gina watched Surya. Surya is very familiar with the history of the independence of this nation. Either he studied first before guiding them or he still remembers receiving lessons in school first but what Surya explained made him aghast. Gina secretly admires Surya's ability about it. Not only about the company, even for something like this he knows.
"You must love your husband very much." Whisper Mrs Adskhan who was beside Gina. Hearing that Gina turned her head and then realized that since then all she did was pay attention to Surya.
"Ahh, it's not so, Madam." Gina was misbehaved by Mrs Andskhan's words. Madame Adskhan smiled looking at Gina's reddened face like that. They then moved on to look at other historical objects. Gina sighed.
Loving Surya? Just be right. I'm still pretty sane, ma'am. Inner Gina walked beside Madame Adskhan by occasionally inviting him to chat. About how their current country to make Mrs Adskhan tell about her grandson. Gina really established a familiarity with Mrs Adskhan.
At the moment Mrs Adskhan is tired and chooses to sit in the lobby of the museum rather than continue to surround the museum with Mr. Adskhan. Her husband loved history. So every time they visit other countries he always took the time to know the culture and history of the country. Including when visiting this country.
"It must be nice to be anywhere always together, ma'am."
"of course. I really don't want to be away from her." Answer Mrs Adskhan.
"Even just like this, I've missed him." Madame Adskhan chuckled. It made the blonde-haired woman look very sweet despite her age was almost twilight.
"But Mr. Adskhan is just a few feet away from where you are today."
"That's love. I can't stay away from her for a second." Mrs Adskhan said with sparkling eyes.
"You know, I follow him everywhere he goes and it shows that I'm very possessive of him. But you know, when I didn't want to go with him, he was the one who always persuaded me to follow him. We really don't want to be far from each other." Madame Adskhan then blushed after saying that.
"really?" Gina rounded her eyes.
"Hm." Madame Adskhan chuckled again.
"We can't be far from each other. Plus our kids are all grown up and we don't get distracted from anything - go anywhere we're always together."
"That's so sweet, madam." Gina tried to praise.
"I hope you'll always be as sweet as we are."
"Thank you, Madam."
"So before I met you, I'd imagined how you were."
"Sorry, Madam?" Gina did not understand why Madame Adskhan said that.
"Before your arrival, Mr. Surya told me a little about you."
"Oh so." Gina simply smiled in response. He only thought about whether Surya told them that he was very chatty, selfish and angry.
If he had really said that, I would have silenced his mouth with my fists. Inner Gina.
"Mr Surya said that his wife was a very beautiful woman." Mrs Adskhan.
"When I say that's why he fell in love with you. But she says that beauty is not the only thing that makes her fall in love. But your independence, your self-confidence and your toughness as a woman are what made her fall in love with you." Gina could only be surprised to hear Mrs Adskhan recounting Surya's words that contained praise but according to Gina even more like a free essay that did not have a plot.
How could Surya say that while all this time that he appeared to Surya is the opposite attitude.
He's really very good at imaging. Gina subconsciously smiled as she looked at Surya in the distance who was stepping towards her.
