...***...

Arriving at Camelia's house, Abra rushes out of her car. With a quick step, he reached the door of Camelia's house. His hand was raised to knock on the door of the white-painted house. When his hand stayed a little more touching the door of Camelia's house, at the same time the door of the house was open displaying the figure of the mother who looked so anxious.

"Aante!"

"Oh Allah, son of Abra. Thank goodness you came at the right time."

"Auntie why?"

"Camelia's in the hospital."

An hour earlier after Mama Rania and Bella came home, Camelia cleaned the table they had just finished chatting casually. While wiping the table, suddenly his tears fell through his cheeks. Water that he had tried to hold long before. Really, he thought everything would be fine from now on, but what is this? He could not even forget the incident.

He felt so tight on the chest. Once again the hope he had kept in his heart betrayed him again. He knew that hoping for someone else would lead to disappointment. But he did not expect himself to have to be in a state like this anymore. Wh why? those words just kept swirling around in his head. Even though long before, he had determined that he would not enter the friendzone circle again. But what is this? His strong determination could not help feeling that blew like the wind.

Camelia scolded. He could no longer continue his work. He wiped away the trace of his tears and passed into his resting room. Riana who passed Camelia was about to greet her. However, he paused after seeing Camelia not paying attention to her whereabouts.

"Bak Cam why else?" inner Riana.

Riana shook her head, she should not interfere in the personal affairs of her boss. It also passed from there. Camelia had entered her room. He's leaning behind the door. Again, he was crying.

"Why, why does it feel like it has to hurt this much?"

Camelia kept hitting her chest softly which was so painful. He fell on the floor with more and more tears streaming down his eyes. He bent his knees, drowned his face there and tried to control his condition. I don't know how long she had been in such a state when Riana knocked on the door of her room.

"Mr Cam?" call Riana.

Camelia looked up and stood up. With a slightly trembling hand, he opened the door a little flawlessly without revealing his face.

"Mr Cam, Mas Abra is outside."

Camelia was silent, she did not want to respond to Riana and closed the door again. Riana went back to the front of the store. He pretended to set brownies when Abra got there.

"Ri" called Abra who was not paying attention to her surroundings.

Riana who saw Abra went to him. Then come closer.

"Eh Mas Abra, find Cam Ma'am? Cam just got home. Said there was some sudden business."

"so. All right, thanks for the info."

Riana sighed as she saw Abra's departure. "Sorry mas, not the intention of Riana lying the same mas, but with the state of Mbak Cam like this, Riana think Mbak Cam can not meet with the current mas," Riana's mind.

Really, he didn't mean to lie to Abra. He knows, no matter how small a lie, it is still a lie that will certainly get a proper reply. But if it was not like that, then he would not be able to hide the state of the woman who had given him that much kindness.

"Sorry," said Riana slowly.

Not long after, Riana saw Camelia coming out of the store with her usual bag of salempang underneath. He figured that Camelia would come home by now.

"Mister Cam!" call Riana.

With a face that was already a little fresh, he turned to look at Riana who was walking closer towards him.

"Yes, Ri. What's up?"

"Sir, can Riana ask for help?"

"Can you ask for help, what?"

"Riana wanted to eat the chicken noodles she used to buy."

"Emm, okay. Go buy it first."

His eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw so many missed calls by Abra. But a second later, he ignored it by re-inserting his phone into a sash bag. Not long after, the chicken noodle seller gave Camelia an order. After paying for it, Camelia brought chicken noodles for Riana and Sari.

"Well, thank you, Cam," Riana said as she received two packages of chicken noodles from Camelia's hand.

"Either. If so, go home first. Assalamualaikum."

"Vaalaikumsalam, mbak. Be careful on the road."

Camelia nodded. Just as Camelia was about to turn around, she felt like her surroundings were spinning. Not long after, he again felt a liquid coming out of his nose. He did not know what it was because he did not feel the flu at the moment.

Reflexes, his hands raised holding the viscous liquid coming out of the two nostrils. He was shocked when he saw the liquid was red.

"Blood?" she said slowly, but it can still be heard by Riana.

"Mother Cam." Riana then approached, she held Camelia who was almost dazed. "Let's sit down first."

Riana invited Camelia to sit down first. However, not yet they arrived, Camelia had already lost consciousness. Then it fell to the ground.

"Bak Cam," Riana shouted so loudly.

Sari who heard Riana's cry then ran out. He was shocked to see Camelia lying on the ground. Sari also shouted for help.

...***...

"Sorry, mom. Riana did not mean to lie to Mas Abra," Riana's great-grandson.

Honestly, he felt more guilty seeing the state of Camelia who was lying weakly on a hospital bed with intravenous fluids attached to her hand. Riana cried, regretting her lie. If he had been honest, Camelia probably wouldn't have been like this.

"Udah ngga papa. I know why you lie."

Riana looked up at Abra in disbelief. He did not expect that Abra would forgive him so easily. Because, he had expected that he would get angry because he had lied. With a hiccup, Riana continued to say sorry.

"Udah, you rest too. You must be tired."

Riana nodded. He passed from before Abra and walked to the sofa of Camelia's room. He sat there with his head still down. Mama Lia who saw Riana still felt guilty, then went to her.

"Don't feel guilty continue son. Camelia has no papa. Even aunt should thank you for bringing Camelia here," said Mama Lia calming Riana while nodding her hand. Riana, the employee of her son whom she had considered also as her own child.

"But this is all because of Riana."

"No son. Look, Camelia's fine."

Riana looked at Camelia who was still soundly asleep with Abra who was always beside her. He also nodded his head. Not long after, Riana returned to the store.

"Let Abra take you home."

"Riana can ride an angkot, tan."

"Let us take you, come on," Abra, who had walked over to him. Inevitably, Riana nodded in agreement. He said he wanted to go home to Mama Lia by kissing Mama Lia's hand as a sign of respect.

"If so, Riana said she'd go home first, tan. Assalamualaikum."

"Vaalaikumsalam. Be careful on the road, son," replied Mama Lia.

Abra and Riana walked out of Camelia's room. They walked down the aisle to Abra's car park. From a distance, Abra squinted her eyes. It was like knowing two people who were walking towards him right now. No, more precisely towards Camelia's room.
