PAPER BOATS (Trapped by the Past)

Chapter 9 GRIND

"What's wrong with you, Nad? From that day on?" ask Viona.

"That's okay" replied Nadia. He doesn't want anyone else to know about his feelings right now.

"It's okay to daydream," said Viona, but did not mean to ask again. There is Yogi, pity Nadia if later Yogi becomes aware of the problem.

Viona believes that Nadia has a problem. Because usually Nadia is always cheerful. Especially if there is a sun.

"Surya where, Yog? How invisible?" ask Viona to Yogi. He has had a long-time crush on Surya.

Nadia knew that and never forbade it. Surya is just his best friend. But unfortunately, Surya doesn't want to know Viona's feelings. He often pretended to be indifferent and stayed away.

"He didn't come in today" Yogi replied, bribing his lunch.

Nadia was shocked to hear it. Surya didn't go to college? Tumben. He is usually the most diligent. Hardly ever absent.

"Not entered? Why?" ask Viona again.

"Where do I know? Ask Nadia. He is the master" replied Yogi.

Almost the entire campus knows the closeness of Nadia with Surya. Because they are often together even though there is no major.

"You know what, Nad?" Viona looked at the face of Nadia who was still shocked.

"E. He said nothing, " replied Nadia stammered.

"Still mabok kali, tuh son! Last night he went to the club" Yogi said casually.

Nadia was surprised. Surya to the night club? Since when did he like such a place? Especially until mabok?

"Kok you know?" Now Nadia opened her curious voice.

"That's. I was there. Hehe." Yogi laughs at himself.

"Who is he going there?" ask Nadia again.

"Yaa.ada that kepo. Haha." Yogi is laughing even harder.

"Seriously this, Yog. Surya has never been to a place like that." Nadia forced Yogi to speak.

"alone. You ask the guy. Intar if the one who said me, thought my mouth lemes," said Yogi.

Viona smiled happily. Because the guy she was expecting didn't go with another girl.

"A similar circuit to you, Nad?" viona Fishing.

"No. He came home from my house last night around tenth. Yes I thought, he went straight back to his house" said Nadia.

Viona was not jealous to hear that. Because he knew very well that between Nadia and Surya was only friendly since High School.

"Oh, so last night Surya ran out of your house, Nad?" Yogi tries to heat up Viona.

Yogi wants Viona to realize that Surya is close to Nadia, and she can get close to him.

For a long time, Yogi has a crush on Viona. But the one that was estimated, even had a crush on another guy.

"Yes. Last night he had dinner with my family at the restaurant" Nadia replied as she was.

"Well, I think it's getting closer?" Yogis are getting hot.

"What decoy?" tanya Nadia did not understand the meaning of Yogi's words.

"That's it, have dinner with your family too" said Yogi.

"Eh, Yog. Surya has been with Nadia's family since they were in High School. After all, they're neighbors." Viona's turn to deny.

"Oh. Kirain y'all are dating" said Yogi.

"No. We were just friends. Viona has a crush on Surya." Nadia nudged Viona's arm. The one who was nudged blushed in shame.

Yogi looked at Viona furiously. Then just move on and go.

"Why him?" nadia asked Viona.

Viona doesn't know that Yogi is after her. Many times Yogi invites her to ngedate, but Viona always rejects him.

Not that Viona isn't interested in Yogi. But it was Yogi's nightlife that made Viona unwilling to get close to him.

Not to mention Yogi who often change to invite girls in their campus.

Different from Surya. The only girl that was always with him was Nadia. And Nadia herself once said that her relationship with Surya, is nothing more than friendly.

That's what makes Viona go forward to chase after Surya. And Nadia knows it. But unfortunately Nadia never managed to match him.

"Nad. Actually Surya did not tell you, if today he did not go to college?" ask Viona who is still curious.

"No, Vi. Try to call. Who knows if he's sick with my mother" said Nadia.

Nadia herself refused to ask. Especially after knowing that Surya went to the club last night. Made Nadia more upset.

Viona obeyed Nadia's orders. He called Surya. But hape Surya is inactive.

Surya himself deliberately deactivated the hape. Before leaving, he had told his mother that he was on a train and would turn off his hape because he wanted to enjoy the trip.

"Where?" ask Nadia.

"The phone is not active. Would you call, Nad?"

"If you're not on the phone, I'll call you the same time, Vi. You are weird" said Nadia.

Although still very upset with Surya, but there is a sense of worry as well. What if Surya really is sick? He was alone in his house.

Most of them were his assistants. Time to be treated by a maid. But to call him first, it still feels prestige.

Finally Nadia decided to go directly to Surya's house after college.

"Oh, Miss Nadia. Mas Surya is back to Jogja. He said the hell they want to go to Bali, Bibi does not understand," said the maid in the house Surya who already knows Nadia well, when she had arrived at the home of Surya's parents.

"Oohs. How many days, Bi?" ask Nadia.

"Lacking the idea, Ma'am. Is she not the same as Nadia?"

If I leave, I won't come here, Bi. Inner Nadia.

"No, Bi. I've already decided to go home." Nadia went straight away. But he remembered that Surya called him this morning.

When it was on the bike, Nadia opened her hape. There was no message from Surya except some missed calls.

Nadia took away her prestige, and called back. True said Viona, Surya's number is off.

Wanting to call via cellular number, Nadia does not have a pulse.

Nadia finally came home. He's gonna call his house.

Arriving at his house, Nadia immediately called Surya. But the mobile number is also not active.

Nadia was silent, dumbstruck by herself. Is Surya angry that he didn't pick up the phone this morning, then turn off the hape?

Aakhs! Nadia scratches her own hair. Surya's gone. No friend will be able to accompany her all day. Even the next few days for sure. Because they said they wanted to go to Bali.

"What's up, Nad?" susi asked to see her son shuffling his own hair.

"Eh, Mama. It's nothing, Ma."

Nadia went upstairs and went into her room.

Susi, who was curious, saw the phone list. And there's the name Surya at the top.

Susi smiled meaningfully. Apparently this is what makes her daughter careless. He already feels lost.

Coincidentally this morning Surya called him and said he wanted to follow his parents to Jogja. He tried to call Nadia but was not picked up.

Hmmm.
