Returnees



Gina and Surya are out of the airport. Their taxi has been driving on this city highway mingling with other vehicles. A crowded city. Even crammed this late still looks a lot of vehicles passing by on the highway. Gina yawned somehow for how many times. His eyes were very beautiful and he wanted to fall asleep. But since then he held it because he did not want Surya awake alone even though Surya had told him to sleep since leaving his house earlier.


Gina felt her bag that she was hugging. A leather bag worth tens of millions from a famous brand was then opened. Two packs of candy that her mother-in-law gave her. Ginger candy and artificial sour candy one of the residents in Surya village who has an industrial home.


"This is Nduk, take it. On the way later. Let's not get drunk. Moreover, you also boarded a plane. Let's not get sick let alone catch a cold." Ibu Surya offered two pieces of packaging containing candy wrapped in plastic. Gina glanced at it and accepted it.


"Thank you, Mom." Gina said with a smile.


"Bude this how. Where is it possible that Ms. Gina is air drunk let alone land drunk. Gina is used to getting on a plane. Everywhere I ride in the car. Let alone here which is only two hours away by plane, Ms. Gina has often been European and even American warawiri a dozen hours away when taken by plane." Ayu's sentence made Mother Surya frown.


"really? Is it really that long if you want to go to America, Nduk?"


"Yes, Mom."


"Wow, what would Mom be if she got on that plane for so long. Could have fainted me. Just 2 hours on a plane I'm drunk." Surya's mother giggled considering how it was when she came to Surya for her wedding. He had to have vomiting2 on the plane due to airsickness.


"It's okay, Mother. I'll bring you a jet so you'll feel comfortable in bed too." Surya's voice beside Gina.


"Oh yeah? There's a bed on the plane, too?" Surya nodded. Mother Surya's innocent face seemed to sumringah heard that. Mr. Surya just smiled at the attitude of his wife.


Gina reached into the ginger candy in her bag and opened it and put it in her mouth. It also thrusts Surya a handful of ginger candy.


"Sorry Miss, I want some sour candy." Gina then put the ginger candy and replaced it with sour candy.


"The sour candy is very sour." Gina.


"Because of the name sour candy, of course it tastes sour, Miss." Surya then chuckled after saying that.


"Ahh you are." Gina was singing her lips at Surya's words. He knew Gina did not like foods that had a sour taste. Let alone sour candies, citrus fruits, pineapple fruit and all foods that taste sour Gina will not want to eat it.


"This sour candy makes my sleepiness go away."


"really?" Gina looked at Surya in disbelief.


"Yes Miss. If you don't believe me, try."


"No, thank you. I'd rather jump into a bathtub full of warm water than have to eat sour candy."


"I don't think that's an option, Miss. That's what you really want." Surya pretended to look at Gina sharply. But seeing that Gina laughed instead.


"I feel like I haven't bathed in a bath full of warm water and surrounded by chamomile scented therapy candles. How fun." Gina Towerwang's distant view imagines something she really likes.


"After this you can do it immediately, Miss."


"Yes, I made sure of that." Gina smiled looking at Surya.


The taxi still glided smoothly over the paved road until it finally reached Gina's house. The house looked quiet because it was very late at night. Gina got out of the taxi and locked the door. While Surya took out a suitcase and a bag that mostly belonged to Gina.


After the door opened, Surya immediately brought in a suitcase and bag, then the rest was taken by Gina. When he arrived under the stairs, suddenly the middle room light turned on by itself. Gina and Surya looked around the room that suddenly became bright.


"You came in with a sneak. You think you're a thief?" Said a man in pajamas from near the light switch.


"Ahh, Dad. When is Papa coming home? Why not give me news? I thought Papa would continue until 5 cruises?" Gina who had climbed the two steps smiled wryly at her Papa.


"I'm tired of just walking around and walking around. Fatiguing too. That's all I see."


"Well, Pa, I'm tired too. I'll go up first." Pamit Gina cut off her Papa's speech before it got any longer. Surya also nodded in salute to his father-in-law.


"Surya, tomorrow morning I want to talk to you."


"Good Pa." Surya reached out and climbed the stairs and headed for Gina's room. While walking up earlier, Gina heard what her Papa told Surya. But he's not interested in it. Maybe his dad just wants a report on R-Company's progress.


Or maybe Papa was wondering how I developed during my time in R-Company. Gina sat in while entering her room.


"Surya..." Gina sat on the bed taking off her shoes.


"Yes Miss."


"I'm gonna take a long time to take a shower so you take a shower first."


"But it's night. Miss sure you're gonna take a shower tonight?"


"Why really? I miss so much hot water."


"All right, Miss." Solar according. He put the suitcase and bag in one corner of the room and walked towards the bathroom.


Moments later Surya came out of the bathroom with wet hair that he was still drying by rubbing a towel in his hair. He saw Gina sleeping on her bed. It seemed like Gina was very tired and could not help but sleepy. During the trip he did not sleep at all so it was appropriate that he slept now.


Surya grabs the air-conditioning remote in Gina's room and sets it cooler as she sees Gina's forehead sweating, making the child's hair on her forehead look wet. Then Surya approached Gina trying to retrieve the phone that was still in her hand. Slowly and very carefully Surya picks up Gina's phone so that it doesn't wake Gina up. But what happened instead Gina pulled Surya's hand with one other hand until it fell and almost hit his body.


"I feel like I've turned on the air conditioner, but why do I suddenly feel so hot?" Once again Surya rubbed his forehead while smiling funny.


Surya then sat on the sofa where he used to sleep. His gaze was fixed on Gina who was still asleep with her face facing towards him. The face is very different when asleep and when awake. The face that when waking up is a woman with a very high level of confidence is inversely proportional to the soft face like the definition of a princess in a fairy tale while sleeping like this. It was very soothing to look at his sleeping face. Long looked at Gina who was asleep Surya then smiled while shaking her head. I don't know what he is thinking but Gina does often make him feel different things every time.


Sometimes Gina becomes a chatty and annoying woman. Sometimes being a sweet and very spoiled woman to her. Sometimes she is also a woman of understanding and as if she is the wife of a husband. It was very confusing for Surya.


But that's what he has to face right now. He had promised Mr. Rangga to make Gina a better woman behind the plays he played with. He knew it must be difficult because changing someone to be different from their true nature was not easy. But he must try to make his promise to Mr. Rangga can he fulfill.


Surya put his head on his pillow. His eyes were still not separated from Gina's sleeping face. The face of an angel who came down to earth. There was almost nothing less than Gina's face. The face that Surya thought was perfect. The sun evaporated, a sign of drowsiness has also been reached. He slowly closed his eyes and went to sleep.


🌸🌸🌸


Gina woke up and felt something pressing on her stomach. He felt that he was still wearing his full outfit since last night. The jeans and oversize shirt were still stuck to his body. Then slowly he unbuttoned his pants because he saw Surya was no longer in his room. He knew Surya was awake and probably running in the morning.


"Ahh, so relieved." Gina changed her sleeping position to recumbent.


"How could I have missed my 'big bath' ritual last night." Gina raised her arm and kissed her armpit.


"Oh my God, why am I this famous. I stink so." He got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.


Meanwhile, Surya has returned from running around the elite housing complex where he currently lives. A security greeted him. Surya smiled back at the smile. On the terrace of the house looks like Mr. Rangga is standing like waiting for him.


"When I look at you I see myself as a young man." Welcome Mr. Rangga when Surya is in front of him.


"I'm also very fit like you even though I rarely exercise." Then Mr. Rangga laughed at the end of his sentence. Surya responded with a smile.


"Papa also still looks fit until now." Surya.


"Just look good. I'm actually lazy to do anything now."


"Walking also includes exercise, Pa." Surya walked after Mr. Rangga who entered the house.


"I was also lazy to walk. I'm just glad to sit with your mama." Mr. Rangga can also joke. Surya laughed a little hearing that.


"There's nothing unpleasant about being with a loved one, Pa." Hearing that Mr. Rangga chuckled.


"You know that? I thought you only knew how to develop R-Company all this time." Mr. Rangga patted Surya on the shoulder several times. Surya smiled knotingly in response to her father-in-law. Mr. Rangga walked towards his study room with still followed by Surya.


"I heard today is the opening of a new R-Store?"


"Yes Pa. I plan on taking Miss Gina with me at the opening."


"Why take her? It can trouble you. He won't be able to do anything there."


"It's okay, Pa. For Miss Gina to know the opening of the R-Store because this is the first R-Store we opened after Miss Gina joined the R-Company."


"As far as you are. But I feel worried when there is him then there will be problems for you. He gets bored easily and likes himself. I'm not sure R-Store's opening show can make him feel at home there."


"But Miss Gina's been trying so hard all this time, Pa. He learned a lot during his time at R-Company."


"That's because his personal assistant is the right person. What's name?"


"Hanna."


"Yes, I read a resume about him and he's a pretty competent guy in that division."


"Yes, Pa. That's why Miss Gina is also learning a lot right now."


"Good then." Mr. Rangga leaned his back against the chair behind the table. Surya was still standing in front of him.


"I see Gina has changed a little bit too. He sent me a message about what he was doing in your hometown. It was a rare thing for a child like him. He never even came to me unless he had a need. But lately he has not only sent messages but also pictures. Photos of him in your village. It's no wonder he looks happy because I'm sure for him it's a vacation somewhere. But just now, he cared about us. That was very surprising. Her mother could hardly believe it when I showed her she sent you pictures of you in the chili garden. As far as we know he's afraid of caterpillars so he doesn't like any plants for fear that there's a caterpillar there."


"Yes, Miss Gina even cried when a caterpillar perched on her body." Surya recalled the incident at his home in the village.


"Yes, that's how he is. But yesterday she was in the chili garden and we were surprised she did it." Mr. Rangga laughed a little. Surya laughed too.


"Thank you, Surya." Said Mr. Rangga suddenly. Surya frowned looking at Mr. Rangga.


"I know Gina is not an easy person to control. But when he starts to open up to someone, it's a sign that that person can make him comfortable. And I think you're starting to get control of it now."


"I don't control anything that's Miss Gina, Pa. I'm just trying to be the one who's always been there for her."


"Absolutely. That's exactly what he needs. It's not like we're always busy ourselves." Surya just silently heard Mr. Rangga's words. Because it is true, Gina did not get the affection of her parents so she grew up to be a lonely girl and always sought comfort from people she knew.


"Surya..." Call Mr. Rangga because he saw Surya was silent. Then Surya looked at Mr. Rangga.


"What if Gina really fell in love with you?" Surya looked at Mr. Rangga with an incomprehensible look.
