PAPER BOATS (Trapped by the Past)
Chapter 16 THE KIBUL
Surya and Sinta arrived at the restaurant, an hour after everyone had gathered.
Neither princess nor Rahma, no one dared to nag. Surely they kept his image in front of the Astuti family.
Astuti or more familiarly called Tuti, was a friend of their neighbors in ancient times. His father Tuti and eyang kakung were both courtiers. The adjacent residence, made their relationship very familiar.
But after the kids got older, their relationship stretched. Because the Tuti family moved out of town. In the past there was no phone, the house phone was rarely had.
Meet again when there is an event in the palace. A kind of reunion for the elders. It was there that he met Mr. Hadi, his father Tuti.
It turns out that Tuti returned to the city of Jogja following the duties of her husband. And both of his parents also so often to Jogja again.
Moments ago, when she met Tuti and Erlan, her husband, the princess, told her that Rahma also had a son the same age as Sekar, Tuti's only child.
And now when Rahma comes to Jogja, Tuti makes a surprise encounter with Rahma. They introduce each other's children.
"Sit down" said the princess to Surya and Sinta.
Submissively, both of them sat on the chairs that had been provided.
"This is my son, Tut. The man Surya, and the woman Sinta." Rahma introduced her two children whom she had already told.
"Surya, Sinta. Greetings to Aunt Tuti and Erlan. Also his son, Sekar," Rahma commanded them both.
Surya and Sinta stood up to greet the three people in question.
Tuti and Sekar look amazed with Surya. Although dressed in style, but did not reduce his fondness.
Surya to groggy because seen too long by them.
"Surya handsome, huh?" tuti's comments are outspoken.
Sinta stomped on Surya's feet while holding back her laughter. The one with the legs tried to endure the pain, despite the desire to repay his brother's pity.
His face was blushing, not out of embarrassment. But because Sinta stepped on it too hard.
"Tante can do it," said Surya.
Sekar's eyes did not blink looking at Surya's blushing face. He thought Surya ge er was praised by his mother. Though Surya was holding back the pain because his leg was stepped on by Sinta.
"Truly, Auntie does not lie," said Tuti reassured.
Rahma looks less like it even though she used to be quite familiar with Tuti.
"Come, Surya Sama Sinta want to order a meal what? Pa, please call the waiter." Rahma tried to turn their attention to Surya.
According to Rahma, Sekar at first glance looks beautiful. But the guy's too aggressive. And for Rahma, the woman who always njawani even though she now lives in a big city, it is very disrespectful.
And Rahma doesn't like that kind of character. He prefers Nadia. Although sometimes acting silly like a child, but Nadia is very caring for her pride in front of men.
Toni called out to a servant who happened to pass by. Then he asked the servant to record the order of his two children.
Surya and Sinta pretended to be busy looking at the menu list. While Sekar, still staring at Surya full of admiration.
Surya and Sinta deliberately ordered a simple meal. So that their dinner can be finished quickly.
Sinta also looks less like the behavior of the mother and child. Attitudes that are too over-acting according to Sinta.
"Rahma, can you if Sekar is close to Surya?" ask Tuti to the point.
Surya who was drinking, until choked to hear it.
"Where is Sekar? Do you like Surya?" ask Tuti.
Immediately, Sekar nodded.
"Then, you take the table yourself. Let's have a casual conversation" said Tuti.
Surya nudged Sinta's leg. Means asking for help from his sister who usually likes nosy. Let Sekar will get a nosy action Sinta.
Sinta who understands, stands up immediately.
"Come Sekar. Let's just move the table. Here especially parents," invite Sinta. He also invited Surya before Sekar who invited.
Surya stood up and followed Sinta who was looking for an empty table.
They had to follow them. He had hoped to be alone with Surya, instead Sinta preceded.
By asking a servant for help, they found an empty table a little away from their parents' table.
"Well, it's better here. Please sit down." Sinta acted as if she was the host.
Just sit down. Dealing with Surya. The cold can be a bit discordant, but what power Sinta has preceded it again.
The food Surya and Sinta ordered was delivered to their new table. So also Sekar food that had been eaten in part, also delivered.
Like a detective, Sinta asked this to Sekar. Sekar himself who is spreading the charm on Surya, replied with a lot of additional exaggerated aliases.
Just think, if Surya will be fascinated with it. But what happened was the opposite. Surya feels funny and wants to laugh at it.
For Surya, the advantages told by Sekar, very far compared to the charm of Nadia. Nadia has no achievements.
Surya liked that better than the woman who felt great and seemed to be far above him.
Surya still strongly upholds the principles of his family's life. That men should be on top, and women should not be too tall.
Because it is feared that if the woman is too high, she will be more difficult to manage and not according to what the husband said.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" ask Sinta without a stale base.
"No, yet" replied Sekar steadily.
"Oohs. You are a great girl, yes. Your achievements are many. No guy likes you?" Sinta continued to attack Sekar.
Sekar feels dead fleas. He's ready to answer. Because in reality, many men have been dating him.
"Mama forbid me to date first. Mom says let's focus on college." Finally he lied.
While Surya chose to be a good listener while enjoying his order fried rice.
"That's good. Don't be like Surya's sister. Her hobby is dating. I rarely go home every day. At his girlfriend's house. Ask for a spit to be married like," said Sinta while laughing.
Not forgetting his legs nudged Surya's feet so that Surya would agree. That way, Sinta hopes Sekar does not get close to her brother.
"You're it. Open a secret," said Surya asserted Sinta's false story.
Deep in the heart Surya agreed Sinta's story to be true. And Nadia can be his girlfriend, not just a best friend.
"Oh, does Surya have a boyfriend?" ask Sekar in a disappointed tone.
Surya and Sinta compactly nodded. In their hearts they laugh. Kena also Sekar diibuli Sinta.
