Iko Trail

20. paper

Iko took the paper that Koeda had thrust into her. she flipped away the paper\-turned it. blank! the same with the translucent screen that was in front of Iko.

"can we be the same?"

Iko lifted the paper and put it together with the thin screen.Suddenly some writing began to appear.In fact Iko was just a fad to try it, but it turned out to be fruitful.

"well, there's writing.you're smart too!"

Iko blushed in shame because she was praised by Koeda. Iko admitted that Koeda is indeed beautiful, even sometimes Iko felt groggy in front of Koeda.

"it's like all the papers in there are the same."

Koeda showed me a pile of blank paper that he had checked.

"ok. we try everything."

Koeda did not immediately respond.he looked up at the sky above began to darken. Koeda thinks it's time to go home.

"Ko, looks like we've been here too long.how about we continue tomorrow?"

Iko looked up at the sky.

"why indeed?"

"i don't want you to worry, tomorrow is plenty of time!"

Iko nodded hesitantly.he felt unsure that he would be able to come tomorrow.Iko sometimes thought, what if after falling asleep, he could not come here anymore? and will it only get here? but sometimes his heart also says otherwise that this world is not his real world.

"let's go home.we continue tomorrow."

again Iko just nodded.the two of them went back through the hallway earlier and closed the wall that had been opened.they immediately went home after cleaning up some scattered items.

"mom, we're home.."

Hana immediately approached them.

"where have you guys been? come home this late?"

Koeda bowed his head, feeling guilty because he had made his mother worried.

Iko bowed her head, she also felt bad because she also lived there.

"yes, you eat first, I've prepared food on the table."

Koeda and Iko nodded compactly.they immediately went to the dining room.

"what have you always been?"

"uhuh?"

Koeda did not understand the meaning of Iko's words.Before he said it again, Iko looked around to make sure there was no one.

" if I see-wild, you're afraid of the same aunt Hana. how can you?"

Koeda was silent for a moment.

"i'm just trying to be filial to my mother.from my little one, the mother who always took care of me, protected me. I should at least obey her orders."

Iko shook her head in disapproval.he looked seriously at Koeda.

"yes but not necessarily also times.you also have the right to determine what you want to do."

"it's not that easy."

"what's not easy? stay say you don't like it on the bridle."

Koeda shifted his eyes, he did not want to argue with Iko.

"if I could say that, it might be a relief. I was a child. My father told me before he left. He said I should always obey whatever my mother says. because it must be for my own good.I just don't want to deny my father's last words."

Iko just silently heard the explanation from Koeda.he was a little touched by Koeda's speech. now he can understand why Intan has always given the best for him even though sometimes it does not match what Iko wants.

"i'm sure you always give your best for me. I don't want to regret it later."

Iko nodded in understanding.he also now thought not to argue anymore with Intan's speech. Because Iko had always been angry if di nasehati by Intan.
