The Surfer Girl

Nine.

Zoë

The next day is Saturday, tomorrow Angga will invite me to surf with his friends, I guess

I really love surfing, my dad introduce surf to me when I was 8. We were in Sydney, dad was and is really good at surf, I think he's the best. 

But these past years he didn't surf again. And I don't know why. 

Everytime I asked him he always change the subject.

If you guys wondering why I was in sydney with my family at 8 years old, its because my dad used to have 'Summer Work', its like his boss transferred him in the Summer, so because he can't handle living alone and miss his family, so he brought us to Sydney, and when he have a free time he used to teach me to surf.

His 'Summer Work' end when I was 12.

I really excited when Angga asked me to surf, well I was nervous too, because its been 4 years since I last surf.

Today I decided to run. 

So I grab an apple and headed out,

I run around my neighbour hood

I usually run when I feel its a productive day, but today I just really want to run because I have a lot of things going around my head

Like Forrest Gump movie

What do I have to say to mom?

What do I have to say to dad?

What do I have to say to my parents?

How do I apologise? 

I can't just said 'Mom, dad. I'm sorry, last night I was just stupid and I want to say that I'm sorry' 

It's just wrong! I can't say sorry like that!

Besides, it's not my fault or is it?

Even if its not my fault I have to apologise! But I don't know how!

Usually dad always support me, but last night he don't and why?

I know he don't like mom's attitude like last night

But why he didn't stick with me? 

He knows that it's wrong!

I stopped when I saw a bench, I sit there and I don't know why I 

Cried.

This is why I don't like myself, if I have a lot of things in my head I can cry.

"Are you okay?" a boy that sit next to me said

"Yeah, I'm fine" I said

"No you're not, can I help you?" He said

I look at him and I began to cry again 

"Hey, hey, hey. People are looking as if I did something to you! Are you okay? Do you want a water?" He said

I didn't answer but he just give a bottle of water to me and I grab it and drink it

minutes later I can calm myself down

"Thank you" I said

"It's fine, are you okay now?" He said

"Yeah" I said

"Ohh, I'm Sandy" He said

"Sandy as in the Spongebob?" I said

"If that's makes you smile than it is!" he said

"I'm Zoë" I smiled at him

I don't know how long I talk to him! It turns out he go to school that the same as me!

Buzz.. Buzz..

From: Angga 

Where are you? Dinner starts at 7 straight! 

I look at my phone and saw it's 6.39 

To: Angga

Okay I'll be there in 5!

"I think I should go" I said

"Oh okay! Me too!"

"I'll see you around?" He continued

"Yeah bye!" 

Then I run to my home and take shower and put a clothes on

"Dinners ready!" I hear my mom yelled

I went downstairs and sit at my chair

We continued eating in silence and then my dad decided to talk

"How was your run?" He asked

"It was fine, I met a guy in the park" I said

"He's good to you?" 

"Yeah" 

"You run? Why didn't you tell me?" Angga asked

"I didn't plan it I just want to run" 

Dad was about to say something when mom cut him

"We need to talk about your attitude last night young lady!"

In this moment I feel that all of this was my fault

My heart told me to apologise to them

But my brain said not to

I decided to go with my heart

"I'm sorry mom, I was homesick. I really want to be alone that night that's why I get home late, but then I remember that we had a dinner so I- I was tired" I said

"And then you bring the subject when we have guests, I feel ashamed. Plus nobody was on my side! And then Angga was mad at me about something stupid! I have feel really ashamed that's why I went to my bed. I'm sorry!" I said

"We want to apologise too honey" Mom said

"It's all not your fault" dad said

"We want to say sorry too, because we were fight before the dinner start, I think I was just carried away by the situation" Mom said

"I'm sorry hon" she said

"It's okay" I said 

We carried eating with laughter

When we done me and mom wash the dishes and went up to my room 

I was about to sleep when I hear my food open

it was my dad

"Hey" he sit at my bed

"Hai" 

"I just want to say sorry too toothy! I wasn't at your back last night, I'm sorry for not sticking up with you" He said

"It's fine dad! and since when you speak English to me?" I said to light him up

"Oh, I decided to speak English, because I need to exercise my English. Plus, its not like I forgotten my hometown right?" He said proudly, I nodded at him

"That's all I need to say to you tooth! Good night" He kissed my temple

"Night dad" I said
