PAPER BOATS (Trapped by the Past)

Chapter 73 LOVES ANOTHER MAN

Nadia was still hiding in her room. Many times Susi knocked on the door of her room, not even opened.

Nadia also turned off her phone. He doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone.

Susi is alone, because Haris who is always busy working has not gone home. Making Susi even more confused, how to make her daughter open the door.

Various ways done by Susi, but did not make Nadia open the door.

"Patience, Mom." Mbok Nah tried to calm his employer, although he was also anxious.

Susi just kept quiet, sitting on the sofa in the middle room. Many times his eyes stared at the stairs. I hope Nadia gets off.

Mbok Nah sat down, his hands massaged Susi's legs so that her employer is more relaxed.

"Solar time here, just sitting in the living room, Mom. I was surprised myself, but Surya was not as usual." Mbok Nah tried to give information about Surya even though he was not asked by Susi.

"Continue?" ask Susi. Because when Susi comes home, Surya is ready on his bike.

"When I made her favorite drink, she just kept quiet. Don't ask me to talk like I always do."

Susi listened to the talk of mbok Nah. Who knows there is an answer why Nadia wanted to be alone and Surya who came home in a hurry.

"I said that non-Nadia is ready and soon down, but Surya has no intention of helping non-Nadia. Not usually," continued mbok Nah.

Oh, it looks like their relationship is not good. Means the dinner invitation from Jeng Rahma was not on time. Inner Susi.

"So much more, Mbok?" ask Susi.

"I don't know anymore, Mom. I can't possibly miss their conversation." Mbok Nah keeps massaging Susi's legs.

Am I calling Jeng Rahma now, huh? But this hour is usually the time Toni is at home. It's not good to disturb their togetherness either. Think Susi.

Susi's phone is ringing. Susi thinks it's Rahma's phone. It was from her husband, Haris.

Haris says that if he's late, it could be midnight.

Susi can't do anything. When it comes to work, Haris is almost inviolable.

At the moment, Susi needs friends. Especially Haris, so I can solve this problem.

But what to say, their agreement from the beginning to have children, Haris works for a living, while Susi at home takes care of children.

That means Susi should be able to solve this problem on her own well. After all, Haris has always been able to solve his work problems well.

Even Haris was able to bring their family's economy soar. Happy for his family, nothing less.

Susi was ashamed of herself. Just this kind of problem he had complained and wanted to demand time from Haris.

Nah! I need to be able to solve this problem. It's my responsibility.

Susi stood up and walked up to the second floor.

Mbok Nah can only look at his female employer while praying that everything is fine.

Although mbok Nah basically does not understand, what is going on actually.

Mnok back to the kitchen. He's preparing dinner.

"Nad. Nadias. Maghrib, you know. Open the door first, honey. Wake up, sleep later." This time Susi's voice was calmer not screaming earlier.

Shouting only made his emotions come to a head. And Nadia seemed even less comfortable hearing it. Even though he already knows Susi's habits.

Susi knocked on Nadia's room door again, slowly.

"Nad....Nadias...."

Susi has not been discouraged from waking Nadia up.

Over time Nadia could not bear to hear the voice of her mother who kept calling her.

With a slow step, Nadia opened the door of her room.

Susi looked at her swollen daughter's face. It looks like Nadia was crying on the pillow.

Nadia did not answer, but stepped back and sat on her bed.

Susi followed. And sat down next to Nadia.

"Why?" ask Susi. Then he grabbed Nadia's head. Nadia rests her head on Susi's shoulder.

Nadia was no longer crying. He was content to cry.

Her tears are already dry.

"You want to tell Mama?" ask Susi slowly.

"Ma...why should you give Nadia a choice?" ask Nadia.

"Which choice?" Susi tried to remember.

"Mama forgot?" ask Nadia.

"About your relationship with Surya?"

Nadia nodded.

"Nad. It's not your intention to overload your mind. Mama just doesn't want your relationship to hang. Always the friend. You're all grown up. It is worth thinking about having a life partner. Especially you. You're a girl, Nad. You need a partner who will take care of you" said Susi.

"Hasn't Surya been guarding Nadia all this time, Ma?" ask Nadia.

"Nad. Mama can feel that Surya likes you more than a friend. And Mama does not like you as if giving false hope," said Susi.

"What false hope? Nadia never did that, Ma!" Nadia held her head up.

"You never feel, because you are too comfortable with what Surya has done for you all along. If you feel a false sense of hope, let Surya find his own partner" Susi said.

Though inwardly unwilling that Surya belongs to another woman. Susi always thought Surya was a complete package. It is not easy to get a man as perfect as Surya.

"Nadia never forbid it, Ma. Even as Viona chased after her, Nadia was always supportive. Suryanya is unwilling." Nadia turned her face away.

Nadia regrets why Surya does not want to accept Viona's love. And none of this needs to happen. He can still be friends with Surya. Without any demands from her mother.

"OKAY. Now Mama wants to ask, what do you want?" ask Susie at the end.

"It's too late, Ma. Surya is angry and he will definitely stay away from Nadia" replied Nadia.

"Why?" ask Susie again.

"Because Nadia didn't choose to be engaged to him. Do you know what it means?"

Susi nodded. He understands what he means. Also so sure that all this time Surya did put his heart on Nadia. Only his tone was insensitive.

Susi thought why her son could not be sensitive? Does he not have a desire for men? Or...he loves another man?

"You love another man?" ask Susi curiously.

Nadia was silent. He hesitated to tell his mother.

"Nad. My mother will not forbid you to love another man. As long as it's good for you, it also makes you happy" Susi said.

Nadia was silent.

"Mom know who that guy is?" ask Susi.

Nadia looked at Susi's face. Susi nodded her head.

"God" replied Nadia.

Susi frowned.

"Did Mama know him?" ask Susie again. Nadia had a friend besides Surya.

But God has moved away and there's no more news. Who is the God Nadia refers to?
