PAPER BOATS (Trapped by the Past)

Chapter 13 IS IRREPLACEABLE

Nadia woke up from her nap. He dreams of going to Bali with the Surya family.

Maybe it was just a sleeping flower, because before going to bed, Nadia kept thinking about Surya who would go to Bali with her family.

If only I wasn't angry with Surya....Nadia was back to regretting herself.

Nadia's looking for her phone. The phone he was holding was now under his body.

He checked his chat. There was no message from Surya. He checked whatsapp status and there was no sign of Surya missing him.

Finally Nadia who still felt prestige, came out of her room.

"Nad. You haven't eaten, have you?"

Having just set foot downstairs, his mother's voice was already welcoming.

"Let's eat first. Kangen also needs power, Nad," led Susi.

Nadia scrunched her mouth. But he also stepped into the dining room. The worms in his stomach had protested because he was late to eat.

"Let's eat. Mama has made your favorite fried chicken" said Susi. He sat down to accompany the child who was the only one eating.

Nara, her first child, rarely comes home. The reason is busy completing the thesis.

Susi regrets allowing her first child to go to college in another city. As a result, he rarely met.

So when Nadia was looking for a college place, Susi desperately asked Nadia to study in their city.

Try if until Nadia does not comply, will be alone and keep her at home. Because her husband is getting busy along with the development of his business that is getting faster.

"Want Mama a bribe?" susi said she saw Nadia who was still lazy to feed food to her mouth.

"What the hell, Mama. Nadia is not a baby anymore" Nadia said. Then she lazily fed him her food.

Every time you eat fried chicken like this, Nadia must remember the events in Jogja first.

How he with Surya struggled to spend a lot of fried chicken due to his fad.

Unknowingly, Nadia smiled to herself.

"Eh, why are you smiling to yourself?" ask Susi.

"It's okay, Ma. It's really good for the fried chicken" replied Nadia lying.

Susi knows that Nadia is lying.

"What's so good? You haven't eaten it yet" said Susi.

Nadia looked at her plate. Exactly right. The fried chicken is still intact. Nadia just nodded towards her mother.

"Kangen yes, kangen. But still konsen dong," said Susi.

"Ih, Mama sneered only. Who's missing anyway?" nadia Sahut.

Susi always thinks, Nadia has a heart for Surya but does not dare to admit it.

Until after Nadia finished eating, Susi invited her to chat in a small garden next to her house.

"What's up, Ma?" ask Nadia.

Susi does not usually take Nadia to this place. Usually Nadia will sit together with Surya while doing assignments from the campus. Or just play each other.

Her mother also often sat here alone with her father. I don't know what they're talking about, Nadia rarely joins in.

"Mama wants her to be like you" Susi replied.

"What's that?" Nadia scrunched her forehead.

"But you answered honestly, huh?"

Nadia nodded. Inwardly astonished as well, when did he lie to his mother?

"ee....Actually, how do you feel about Surya?" ask Susi carefully. Because Susi is aware, it's a matter of the heart. Can't talk about it with grasa grusu.

"What feeling, Ma?" Nadia asked back.

"Do you have a sense of non-sury?"

"She, Ma. He was Nadia's best friend since High School. It felt like there was less if he left," replied Nadia honestly.

Susi patted her forehead. That's not what it means. Nadia always considered Surya a friend. Only friends.

"Nad. You're all grown up. It's appropriate that you have a..boyfriend," said Susi slowly.

"Yes Nadia must be dating Surya anyway, Ma. It's not funny that dating is the same." Nadia swallowed her saliva.

He only realized that even God, his own best friend. They used to be dating. No one knows but Surya.

Because they kept it a secret. Let them still be free to get along without any awkwardness.

And as her mother knew, Nadia never dated at all.

"Nobody forbids it, Nad. Want it was once a cake friend, a cake friend. Even enemies, if it is in the end love each other? Who can ban it?"

"Yes, Ma. Nadia knows. But Nadia does not love Surya," said Nadia honestly.

"Nad. Love can come after you guys date. If the Javanese say, tresno jalaran seko kulino."

"Ah, not really, Ma. The proof, Nadia almost every day with Surya. But Nadia has never loved him" said Nadia.

"That's because you don't want to open your heart. Try it, open your heart. What is the lack of Surya?" Susi tries to give understanding to Nadia.

"As a boy, Surya has nothing to lack, Ma. On campus, there are many girls chasing Surya. Including Viona, Nadia's classmate. But if Nadia can't love Surya, can't be forced, can't she?" Replace Nadia who gave an explanation to her mother.

Susi rubbed her face violently. He did not know how else to make Nadia want to open her heart to Surya.

"Yes, you never fell in love?" ask Susi. He was also worried that until his daughter could not love the opposite sex.

Nadia looked at her mother's face. In his heart he was worried. Should he be honest about his story with the Gods?

"Why?" ask Susi concerned.

"It's okay, Ma." Nadia had no courage to tell him.

Surya was against it, let alone his mother. Will definitely be in full defiance.

Nadia realized that God is nothing compared to Surya now.

God's parents a few years ago, were only factory employees. Their lives are mediocre. The house just contracted there contracted here.

There is nothing to be proud of God and his parents. And Nadia is sure, that her mother would never agree that she was dating a God.

"Tell me, Nad. If you already have a boyfriend. My mom also wanted to know him. You are my only daughter Mama. Mama does not want you to choose the wrong partner," said Susi.

Nadia just sighed. Not that she doesn't believe her mother's words. But he doesn't want to argue about gods.

Nadia is not willing if later the God is ridiculed or insulted. For Nadia, God is still everything. Although until now Nadia does not know where the limb is.

"You believe in Mama, don't you?" Susi looked at the face of her girl who looked doubtful.

"She's going to the room first, Ma." Nadia immediately moved up and went upstairs. He deliberately avoided. Don't want her mom to keep forcing her to tell stories.

Let the gods continue to reign in his heart. Until now, no one has been able to replace the position of God. Not even Surya.
