PAPER BOATS (Trapped by the Past)

Chapter 108 FIGHTING ALONE IS EXHAUSTING

After a meal, they continued the conversation in the living room.

Yogi who had intended to go home after eating, joined again.

Because his mother said, if they had a sudden event with his schoolmates first.

Rather than being home alone, Yogi chose to postpone his return plan.

"Aren't you going home, Yog? Looking for your mama, you know?" ask Surya.

"Am I the mama's son who's always wanted?" answer Yogi.

"You're not your mother's son, but your mother's son!" sahut Surya Meredek Yogi.

"Don't talk about it, the person woke up" said Yogi.

"Emang at this hour mak Yati has already slept?" ask Surya.

"Again prepared. Abis isya she just otewe!" answer Yogi.

"Otewe where, A'? ask Sinta who does not understand Yogi.

"Otewe to kapuk island! Hahaha," replied Yogi.

"Don't, Aa. Coulda!" Sinta pulls Yogi's arm.

"Eh, why call her Aa?" ask Rahma.

Sinta immediately covered her mouth with her palm.

"Well, Mama missed the news!" said Surya.

"What news?" Rahma was curious.

"Sister! Don't tell Mama!" Sinta tried to shut Surya's mouth.

"Eh, how to play secrets with Mama. Let's story!" sahut Rahma's.

"Those are, Ma...." Surya has not yet told the story, his mouth has been smothered by Sinta.

"Mh...We've decided to have a more serious relationship, Auntie. May it?" ask Yogi for permission.

Sinta spontaneously released her hand from Surya's mouth.

"A! He said don't tell me first?" sinta protest.

"That was before we knew that Surya was Nadia!" answer Yogi.

Rahma and Toni are flabbergasted. Surya glared at Yogi.

The yogurt is just plain. He thought it was time for his parents to know.

"What news, this?" ask Toni.

"So this is it, Om. Aunt. Sinta and I have decided to get in touch. We wanted to keep it a secret first" Yogi said.

"Why is it kept secret?" ask Rahma.

Toni just listened. Because almost everything he wanted to ask, was already represented by Rahma.

"We agreed to keep it a secret, because we didn't want to....Surya felt alone. Aunty and Om, you know yourself, how hurt Surya, when he lost Nadia," replied Yogi.

Rahma and Toni nodded. Surya can only bow his head. He feels adept at caring for Yogi as his best friend.

Then Surya grabbed the shoulder of Yogi sitting next to him. He patted Yogi on the shoulder, as an expression of his gratitude.

"Then?" ask Rahma.

"Now, I dare say it, because besides Aunt already kissed him, let's not be a question. Also because Surya has found his happiness," said Yogi stammered.

"meaning? Surya's got a new girlfriend?" ask Rahma.

"Ma, Surya is better with Nadia. Even Surya has ventured to express Surya's feelings to Nadia," said Surya.

Rahma and Toni are flabbergasted.

"Since when?" ask Rahma.

"Two days ago, Ma. Due to an accidental incident," Surya replied.

"And Nadia accepted you?" ask Rahma.

"You sure?" ask Toni who has been silent since.

Surya nodded back.

Then Rahma moved from her seat.

"Where are you going, Ma?" ask Toni.

"Mom take the hape first. There is something you want to ask Surya," replied Rahma.

Rahma went into her room.

While the others, look at each other. Only Toni knows the problem, though it's still fumbling.

Rahma returned with a hape in her hand, which was already on gallery mode.

"Then, what if Nadia sees this." Rahma gives a photo of the Yogi family posing with the Gods.

Rahma already knew the problem of Nadia and the God of Sinta.

Rahma who always tried to ask Sinta, finally can pry the description.

Sinta who is still too innocent and can not lie, finally tells the reason why Nadia rejected Surya.

Surya remained silent. His heart was also very painful to imagine that the God came and picked up Nadia's love.

Sinta, who was sitting on Surya's right side, hugged her brother's arm.

Sinta is trying to give Surya power. Sinta doesn't want Surya to get hurt again. Because as a sister, she would also feel hurt.

"She said she would forget her past" Surya replied.

"That's because he hasn't seen this picture. But what about after he sees it?" ask Rahma.

Surya bowed his head. He was also very worried about it.

"We should keep it a secret from Nadia, Auntie. Don't let Nadia see it" said Yogi.

He was also one of the people who did not want to see Surya slumped again.

"Who knows about this photo?" ask Toni. His eyes were fixed on Rahma's phone which Surya was still holding.

"The photo was taken on my mom's phone, Om. My mom doesn't know Nadia. So I feel safe. Although later I will also talk to my mother, to ensure her safety," replied Yogi.

"So you're the only ones who know about that photo?" ask Tony again. Because Yogi's answer earlier, has not answered his question definitively.

"For now, it seems like yes, Om," replied Yogi.

"What about Viona? Isn't Viona close to Nadia?" ask Rahma.

"Viona knows the God by the name of Son, Aunt. So it is still safe if Viona just tells Nadia," replied Yogi.

Surya just listened. So did Sinta. He just stroked his brother's arm.

"What if Viona showed Nadia a picture of the Son or God? It's not impossible right, Viona has another photo?" ask Rahma.

Earlier on the phone, Novia said that they were traveling with Viona and her boyfriend named Putra.

"Obviously, Auntie. But I don't think it's a problem. In fact, it will further open the eyes of Nadia, if God turns out to have forgotten her. It could even be, Nadia will hate Gods for dating Viona, her best friend," replied Yogi.

Yogis are good at arguing. Sometimes they like to be silly.

"Auntie, please do too. Just what Aunty worried about, what if they suddenly met, then CLBK," said Rahma.

"Ih, Mama know-tauan CLBK. I know what it means!" sahut Sinta from earlier only listened.

"You think Mama's a bad old-fashioned person?" Rahma felt slighted by Sinta.

"Yes, deh. My slang mama...! Continue!" Back to listening mode.

"Everything can happen, Ma. But Surya will try to make Nadia completely forget her past" said Surya.

"And you must also be ready to be let down again, Sur. Don't fall down just because you're disappointed. You're males. Must be strong in the face of all possibilities. As bad as that!" said Toni.

"Yes, Pa. Solar is ready with all the possibilities. Surya will also try to fight for Nadia. Until he can completely forget his past," said Surya.

Since being close to Yogi and getting a lot of input from Yogi, Surya feels himself more resilient.

"And remember, Bro. Fighting alone is tired. Fatiguing. Don't forget to wave your hand at the camera when it's not strong! Hehe."
