PAPER BOATS (Trapped by the Past)

Chapter 31 MEETING OLD FRIENDS

Surya just circled around the city with his motor matic.

Actually for a body as big as Surya is less fitting if riding a motor matic. He's more macho when riding a sport bike.

But because Nadia is not comfortable riding a motor sport, Surya asked her parents to replace it with a motor matic.

After getting tired of the muters, Surya turned to a cafe. He just wanted to enjoy a cup of cappucino to relax his brain.

Surya picked a small table. Because he's alone. While sitting alone, Surya enjoys his drink and a plate of his favorite fries.

Actually it was Nadia's favorite snack. But Surya so like it, because every hang out with Nadia and her friends, the menu is always on his desk.

Surya who did not bring his phone, circulated the view to some parts of the cafe.

And his eyes caught the figure of a woman he was quite familiar with. Cellyn, his old High School friend.

Coincidentally, Cellyn was also staring towards Surya. And their views meet.

Surya who was a bit pangling with the appearance of Celyn, initially just silent. Fear of wrong people.

Cellyn who first gave her smile. Cellyn is also a little pangling with Surya's increasingly stocky stature.

Cellyn who also came alone, went to the Surya table with her juice glass and snack plate.

"You're Surya, right?" tanya Celyn precedes.

"Celly?" Surya's eyes took a look at Celyn's minimalist appearance.

Celyn only wore a sleeveless top and a short skirt above the knee.

Although without a thick makeup polish, the face of Cellyn is naturally beautiful, still exudes her charm.

And smooth white skin color, further adding to its beauty. Not to mention her increasingly contained chest, making Celyn appear perfect.

Celyn nodded. Then put the luggage on the table Surya and extend his hand.

Surya shook Celyn's delicate hand. And Celyn grasped it while admiring Surya who was also getting more and more enchanting.

"May I sit here?" ask Celene politely.

"Please. Sit down." Surya.

Celyn pulled the chair in front of the Solar table. And they're back to their eyes. Admiring one another.

"You alone?" ask Celyn. Along with the question that came out of Surya's mouth. Then they laughed together.

"Yes, I'm alone" Surya replied after stopping laughing.

"Same. I'm alone too." Cellyn replied without waiting for Surya to ask again.

"How are you, Sur? It's getting macho," asked Cellyn shamelessly.

In High School, they were a class. But not with God and Nadia. Because in second grade, the third friend is different class. Even after they finished the lesson, they came back together.

Together to the cafeteria, together to the library, until they returned home.

"I'm doing fine. You're also more beautiful, Cel," praised Surya.

Cellyn has been beautiful since. He was one of the flowers in Surya school. Although not as beautiful as it is now.

Cellyn laughed hearing that. Not only this time did Cellyn get such a compliment. So Celia is used to it.

"It could be you, Sur. Uh, by the way, where did you go to college?" ask Celyn.

After graduating from high school, they never met again. They are also not in the whatsapp class. Especially Surya who always left the group if anyone entered.

"I'm at Merdeka university. Same with Nadia. You remember Nadia, right?"

Cellyn scrunched her forehead. Like I was remembering.

Surya nodded in confirming.

"But didn't you get a chance to study at a public university? Your grades are good, Sur?" ask Celyn.

Cellyn still remembered that Surya often got the first rank in his class. Unlike him whose value is always mediocre.

"Yes anyway. But I didn't take it," Surya replied without explaining the real reason.

"Ih, dear very. Try if I can, I will not be in vain" said Celyn regretted.

Half-dead, struggling to get into a state college, Surya ignores his chance to enter without a test.

"Let me make more needy. Where did you go to college, Cel?"

Then Celyn replied that she was studying out of town. And he's sitting there. He said to be more free and not lonely.

Both of Celyn's parents are entrepreneurs, always busy with their work. He often ignores Cellyn and her older brother.

Finally, Celyn chose to study outside the city so she could spend time and have many friends in the boarding house.

His brother remained in his town. But being a big boy. College's stuck, work's just hanging out and racing wild.

"Oohs. Now this is the crime again?" surya asked while enjoying his fries.

"Yes. My mama's birthday yesterday. And we want to gather. But the day after I went back there. It's deserted here. My mom and dad are back busy with their work" Celyn told me with a grim face.

"Eh, how's Nadia? Same who, your friend another one?" Cellyn switched the conversation so that she did not dissolve in her sadness.

"God. He doesn't know. No more news after graduating from High School" replied Surya. He was a little somber considering his best friend who disappeared like swallowed by the earth.

"Oohs. But it's not like you guys used to be so familiar, is it?"

Surya nodded.

"If Nadia?" celyn asked while remembering Nadia's face.

Because there was never a class, Cellyn never got in touch with Nadia. He only often saw her with Surya and the Gods.

"I told you earlier. He's on campus with me. But different majors. Now, he's sick again. Last afternoon of the accident," said Surya.

"Oh yeah? Very poor. Severe?" celyn asked in an anxious tone.

She remembered that afternoon her brother came home battered.

Then Surya tells the condition of Nadia last as well as the chronology.

"Thank God it's not bad. I thought until I was hospitalized. Has the crash been found?" ask Celyn again.

"It was secured by the police. Tomorrow afternoon I'll take care of it at the police station. He was reckless on the road," Surya replied in annoyance. Not upset with Cellyn, but with the hitman Nadia.

"Actually at that time I could just beat the hitter at the scene of the crime scene. But I'm more concerned about Nadia's condition. So I handed over the same business as the police who were there," continued Surya.

"Don't be a vigilante. Later even the problematic you," said Celyn.

"Yes, look at it tomorrow. If he doesn't want to take responsibility, I'll just beat him up." Surya remains still upset with the impactor Nadia.

Cellyn just smiled. Then he asked for Surya's mobile number so he could communicate again.

Surya who did not bring his phone, mentioned the twelve digits of his number and was immediately saved by Celyn.

"Dimisscall. Later at home I save," said Surya.

Then they say goodbye to each other, because the night is getting late.

Cellyn refuses to be ushered in by Surya because she is carrying her own car. Car birthday gift from his parents.
