PAPER BOATS (Trapped by the Past)

Chapter 106 AWAITS CERTAINTY

Yogi takes Sinta home. Not that he was afraid of Surya's threat, but Yogi wanted to prove to Surya that he wasn't a jerk.

Yogi loves Sinta. And he wants to take good care of her. Don't want to stain him first.

At Sinta's house, Yogi just sits on the terrace. Just like before taking Sinta out.

"Not coming in, A'?" ask Sinta.

"Here is it. It's hard inside" replied Yogi.

Sinta nodded too.

"Eh, A', my mom's home. What if we asked my mom about the photo?" ask Sinta.

"Don't, Cin. We will ask Surya directly. You also keep this secret first. Don't let anyone know. Okay?"

"What secret, anyway?" Rahma was suddenly at the door.

"Eh, Mama!" Sinta was surprised.

"It's nothing, Auntie." Yogi was no less surprised.

"Yes already. Whatever you. Aunty just wants an ama Sinta. That's a lot of paper bags on the dining table. Got who? How do you smell?" ask Rahma.

"Oh yes. That's a gift from Aunt Novia, Ma. They are abis from mak Yati village" replied Sinta.

"Lho, how much?" ask Rahma again.

"So mak Yati brought us many gifts too, Auntie," replied Yogi.

"Kayak smells like salted fish. Where is mak Yati's village, Yog?" ask Rahma to Yogi.

"In the coastal town, Tan. There will be a producer of salt fish," replied Yogi.

"Oh, pantesan," said Rahma.

"That's my favorite meal of Yogi, Ma," said Sinta.

"Oh yeah? Yogis like salted fish?" ask Rahma.

"Like it, Auntie. Especially eating it with sambal terasi. Hehe." Yogi.

"Ajari Sinta tuh, let also like salted fish," pinta Rahma.

"It's easy, Auntie," said Yogi.

"How's it looking?" ask Rahma.

"Tante don't cook macem-macem. Fried salted fish just as make sambal terasi. Must be eaten by ama Sinta. Haha." Yogi laughs.

"Yes, so mean. Meal time just use that, anyway?" Sinta.

"Learn frugally. Save it rich base! Haha." Yogi laughed again.

"Well, horrified tuh, Sinta," said Rahma. Then go back inside.

Rahma opened all the souvenirs from Novia.

Hhmm..a lot! Inner Rahma.

Then Rahma kept it in the kitchen cupboard. He also prepared the cake he had bought on the road, when he returned home. Make a switch to Novia.

Rahma grabbed her phone. He called Novia. Give thanks.

And they even got to talk. Novia recounted her experiences in the coastal city, including the time they entered the cargo ship.

"Well, it's really exciting, like," Rahma commented.

"Yes, Ma. We met his college friend Yogi. Name's Viona. Viona's boyfriend is a sailor. Son name. He's the one who took us on a boat trip" Novia said.

"Viona?" ask Rahma.

Rahma remembered Viona's name when she visited Nadia while being treated for an accident.

Rahma also remembered that Yogi had come with Viona.

"Yes. Vionas. Surya may be familiar" replied Novia.

"Maybe, too" said Rahma.

And as far as Rahma knows, Viona has a crush on Surya. Ah, I don't know. Rahma did not want to think. His name is also young.

Novia and Rahma also talked about the plan tomorrow morning. Their plans for vacation together.

After ending the torch, Novia sent out some photos of them while on board.

Rahma opened some of the photos. In the picture is Viona. Next to her was a man with a burly body, hugging Viona.

Rahma was attracted by the man's face. Rahma had seen it.

Rahma made the man's face clear.

A deity?

Rahma looked again at the face of the Son. Very simila. Just the body of the God cheque.

"Whose picture, Ma?" ask Toni.

"This, Pa. Novia sent us a picture of them on vacation yesterday. They're photos on the ship. Mama saw there was a person whose face resembled a god. But Novia said, it's called Son" Rahma replied. He showed it to Toni.

Toni took a quick look.

"Maybe it's just the same, Ma" Toni said. Toni does not remember the face of God. Because they rarely meet.

"It could be, Pa. But it really is similar. Just a different name. This one is called the Son" said Rahma.

"Well, that. His name is different. Means just similar," said Toni.

Rahma nodded. But still curious.

Rahma hung up her phone. He will show it to Surya later.

Rahma said goodbye to Toni to make dinner for them later.

"Eh, Pa. There was the same salted fish terasi, souvenirs from Novia. Papa want to stop, Mama friedin salted fish?" ask Rahma.

"Isn't salt? Does it taste good?" ask Toni.

"Look, Pa. In the days of little mama, mothers often fry it," replied Rahma.

Rahma remembered her childhood. His mother often fried salted fish. She and her brother like to take the little ones and eat them straight away.

But after the household, Rahma almost never fried it.

Her husband and children did not like her. The reason is because it is salty. His name is also salted fish. If it is spicy, it is called balado fish.

"Can deh. But not too much, Ma. I am afraid of Doyan. Honey, if you're out," said Toni.

Rahma nodded, then into the kitchen.

As usual, she always prepared her own meals for her husband and children. Sometimes Sinta helps.

On the terrace, Yogi was still chatting with Sinta. Until then Surya came home to Maghrib.

Yogi was deliberately waiting for Surya to come home. He and Sinta are curious about the person in the photo Yogi.

"It's still here you, Yog?" ask Surya.

"Still, Bro. I miss you!" Yogi stood up and grabbed Surya's hand.

With a single pull, Surya got into Yogi's arms.

"Oh, Fuck!" Surya tried to let go of Yogi's embrace.

Yogi releases her while ngakak.

Surya sat next to Sinta.

"Sin, I make warm tea dong," pinta Surya.

"Oh yes. I forgot I didn't make drinks for Aa." Sinta patted her own forehead.

So cool to talk, until Sinta forgetfulness.

"When did you call Yogi, Aa?" ask Surya.

"Sincere! Haha." Yogi who replied while ngakak.

Sinta rushed in. He won't miss the news.

Arriving in the living room, it turns out Rahma has brought two cups of tea.

Sinta grabbed it.

"You know, there's a Yogi instead of being made to drink!" rahma. Sinta just grinned.

"Busyet cepet terribly?" comment Yogi.

"Special lick!" sahut Sinta's.

Sinta gave it to Yogi and Surya. Though it was actually tea for her and Yogi.

"Sur, we want something with you" said Yogi.

"What's that?" Surya scrunched his forehead.

Yogi took his phone. Then open the photo gallery.

"Now!" Yogi showed me the photo he had zoomed in.

Surya took Yogi's phone.

The gods....!
