PAPER BOATS (Trapped by the Past)

Chapter 32 ASIK WITH OLD FRIENDS

Surya returned to his house at midnight. Rahma was still waiting for him in the living room with sleepy eyes.

Toni repeatedly reminded Rahma not to worry too much about Surya, but did not respond.

Rahma kept on waiting for her eldest son to come home. He was worried something happened to Surya. Because as far as it was, Surya left with an annoyed face.

Moreover, many times Rahma called Surya, but not lifted. Whatsapp messages are also unread. The phone is active.

Obviously, Surya didn't bring his phone. Before leaving, Surya threw him on the bed. And no one checked into Surya's room.

"Where are you, Surya?" rahma asked when her son was nongol.

"To the cafe, Ma. Talk to each other," Surya replied as he stepped into his room.

"Sit down first when you talk to your parents!" exclaim Rahma.

Surya turned his head and returned to the living room lazily. Surya was also sleepy. He very rarely stays up unless he does a lot of work from campus.

"Why didn't you pick up Mama's phone?" ask Rahma after Surya sits down.

"Surya didn't bring a hape, Ma. Left in bed" replied Surya. He intentionally left it.

"Yes already. Sleep there. Next time you go, bring the hape," said Rahma.

There was no reason for him to be angry. After all, Surya has returned safely and is fine. Not what Rahma thought. Go home with a messy condition and the smell of alcoholic beverages.

I think Rahma is watching too many soap operas. So his brain was filled with bad shadows.

Rahma went into her room. Toni has been asleep since. Tomorrow morning he'll have to go to the office.

Surya went into his room. He was looking for a cell phone that was thrown on the bed.

There were many unanswered calls from her mother, her father was also Sinta, her sister. There was also one call from an unknown number. And Surya's sure it's Celyn's number.

After saving the number of Cellyn, Surya can only see his profile photo.

Well-favoured. Inner Solar.

Surya then remembered, Cellyn used to steal a glance at him. But at that time, Celyn was still shy.

When Surya looked back at him, Cellyn looked down or pretended to look the other way.

Unlike now, Cellyn was much braver. Even as she shook hands, Celyn held Surya's hand tightly.

Cellyn also did not shyly praise Surya. And did not look down again when Surya looked at him sharply. Celyn looked back at Surya with a very seductive look.

Surya still admires the photo of Celyn in her profile chat app. And a moment later, a chat message came in.

Cellyn sent a message to Surya. Surya smiled, then replied. And they reply to chat until it does not feel time to show at two in the morning.

Nadia in her room woke up. He felt sore at his feet due to his own sheer nudity.

Grimacing, Nadia put away her phone lying next to her pillow.

Before placing it on the nightstand, Nadia opened her chat application. He just remembered that he had not had time to read a chat message from Surya. Even resisted the call from Surya.

Surya did not know that Nadia was chatting with Nando, her brother. Nando asked about Nadia's condition.

Nadia was surprised to see the Surya chat app still in active mode. At once, Surya never opened his chat again at nine o'clock at night. Except for an emergency.

Is it possible that Surya is in an emergency? What's the matter? Nadia wondered in her heart.

Nadia asked him. He was very worried about his best friend. Although he is actually the one to worry about.

Sur, this hour is still active? Type Nadia.

No response from Surya. Surya, who is typing a chat for Cellyn, still ignores the message from Nadia.

You are also still active at this time. Answer Surya.

Surya suspects that Nadia is close to another man. Because two days before, he went to Jogja and did not send messages with Nadia at all.

Nadia frowned. He was asked why his answer was unclear. Inner Nadia.

I'mawakened. My feet are a roll. What are you doing again? Ask Nadia.

But Surya who returned coolly replied to a chat from Cellyn, ignoring again the message from Nadia.

Nadia was waiting for him. While his eyes were still sleepy.

Yeah, it's not like it's. Good mornin. Type Nadia again. Then he hung up his phone and hugged the bolster that had hurt his leg.

Surya read a message from Nadia. I want Surya to explain the reason why long reply to Nadia's message.

But it seems less clear if only through chat. Tomorrow I'll tell Nadia about Celyn. Inner Solar.

Surya ended his conversation with Cellyn. And shut the phone down.

It turns out that Cellyn was fun. He asked to talk. And because they majored in the same college, so much of what they did.

There are no friendly words from Surya, as men do when chatting with women in the middle of the night.

All Surya languages are very polite. Although sometimes Cellyn do a little fishing.

But Surya who is used to being polite in attitude, is not provoked.

The only woman who is often sent friendly sentences is only Nadia. It was always responded by Nadia.

Nadia always thought Surya was a prankster. Though Surya always hoped Nadia would take her message seriously.

Surya closed his eyes while imagining Nadia's injured leg. Surely he's grimacing again withstanding the pain.

And it's true, Nadia can't sleep anymore. His feet are getting stiffer. Wanted to walk out of the room his legs still ached and hurt.

Finally Nadia can only lie down while turning her back.

Want to shout to call his mother, afraid to disturb his father who is sleeping.

Nadia who was no longer strong held back her paw, inched down from the bed. He walked out of his room.

From the top of the stairs, Nadia yelled out to bik Nah. Maid in her house. And Nadia looks up to Nah to hear it.

Fortunately, the bik room is not far from the stairs. And bik Nah who was sleeping, heard Nadia's scream.

"What's up, Non?" ask from under the stairs.

"Please Nadia, Bik. Nadia's legs hurt a lot" replied Nadia.

"Yes, Non. Non Nadia don't come down. Let Bibik go up."

Bik Nah rushed up and guided Nadia back to her room.

"Bibik kasih oil massage huh, Non? Let the swelling decrease."

"But don't massage, Bik. It will get sick" replied Nadia.

"No, Non. Just massaged slowly while being given the massage oil," said bik Nah.

Nadia nodded. And bik Nah down to her room. Take the massage oil.

"Enak, Nope?" ask Bik Nah while massaging slowly Nadia's legs that begin to swell.

"Yes, Bik. Don't be so tight" replied Nadia. His eyes started five watts. And finally Nadia fell asleep.
