CAMELLIAS

episode 30's

Jupiter was still fixedly looking at the woman sitting in front of him, who was enjoying her lunch without interest. You could say this is not lunch, because lunch hours have been missed since two hours ago. 

"So someone said, no laper. But, the cream soup runs out first" quipped Jupiter. 

Camelia placed the spoon on the table a little hard, looking up at Jupiter.

 "I can't waste food!" Reply Camelia.

Jupiter chuckled, "Alright, then finish the meal. Then we go back to the office." 

"What's? All this food?" Appoint Camelia, on the table in front of her that is full of food. And, only a few foods are freshly tasted Jupiter, while Camelia only choose to taste the cream soup. 

"Yes, you said it's not uncommon to waste food. So, spend this, and then we go back to the office." 

"You crazy? Who told you to order this much food? You think I'm clumsy, can fit a lot of food. Besides why don't you just order according to your needs?!"

Jupiter widened her smile even more when she heard Camelia's chatter. Whereas Camelia only snorted in annoyance, how could she spend so much food.

"Have you finished getting angry?" Ask Jupiter

"I accidentally ordered a lot of food, because I was really hungry. But, my hunger is gone as soon as I see you eating." 

"Squeen!" Camelia's lips. 

"Not strange, I like to see you eat while pouting. So I'll take your pea bread, time in the library."

"Jupiter!"

"Oh yes, I forgot. You're not that guy, are you? Sorry, "" Camelia was weak, she knew Jupiter was a very persistent man, she would never give up before she knew the truth herself. 

"Let's go home?" Bring Jupiter, please,

"Come home?" Camelia furrowed her brows.

"To the office I mean. I still need a detailed explanation of our employment contract. I didn't hear you, because I was hungry." Evidently. 

Jupiter's dining establishment, by chance, wasn't too far from her office, so they only took five minutes to walk. Arriving at Jupiter's workspace, Camelia immediately took out some papers containing a contract of employment agreement. Although actually he was lazy to explain twice the contents of the agreement, but still he had to do when the owner of the investor asked for it. 

But as soon as Camelia was about to explain, Jupiter first left the room without telling her first. Jupiter just came out, making Camellia have to endure emotions, responding to Jupiter's strange attitude that has upset her since. 

There was no way he left the room without Jupiter's permission, so he decided to look around Jupiter's desk. The table made of high-quality wood, looks shiny and luxurious. Minimalist but very elegant and luxurious, very reflective of who the owner is. Camelia's fingers, still down every corner of the table that feels so smooth and slippery. However, his eyes stopped on a black-framed photo, standing upright just to the right of the computer screen. At first glance it is not too visible from the front, because the photo is displayed on its back, and only facing in front of the Jupiter work chair. 

Slowly Camelia turned the frame of the photo until it faced her. His eyes seemed to jump from his place as soon as he saw a pair of humans that he was very familiar with. A beautiful girl wearing a pink kebaya smiled cheerfully with a handsome man wearing a silver batik.  They seemed so harmonious, and what made Camelia even more surprised they took pictures while posing to show off their hands, which were decorated with the same ring. 

His body suddenly trembled, his legs limp as if powerless. Even without realizing it, he gripped the edge of the table, until his handbooks turned white. Suddenly the oxygen in the room was thinning and increasingly suffocating his throat. His eyes were hot, even the tears felt so urgent his eyelids, yet he still tried his hardest to hold them. The sound of the door opening suddenly shocked him. 

Camelia immediately might flip the picture frame, and rub a rough patch of clear strands on her face, but her speed was not comparable to the strange vibrations inside her body that seemed to make her paralyzed instantly, he said, so accidentally he actually made the frame fall. 

"sorry. That, me, I, I didn't accidentally." Camelia immediately grabbed the fallen frame, fortunately the frame was not damaged in the slightest. Makes him sigh in relief, because the frame is still intact as before. 

Jupiter hurriedly approached him.

"You?" 

"Alright, let's start the contract discussion. We've been wasting too much time." Camelia walked past Jupiter, but just a few steps, Jupiter first grabbed her hand. 

"Do you see that picture?" Ask Jupiter, though,

"Yes, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry." Camelia thrashed, trying to release Jupiter's hand grip on her wrist.

"I'm sorry, aren't I? Is that less? I didn't mean it, why do you look so angry. I changed the picture frame." Camelia said, but Jupiter was still silent, her gaze hard to understand. 

"Gosh, why are you? I know it's an important photo of your life. I was not intentionally. I'm sorry, later," but Camelia hasn't finished her sentence, Jupiter pulled her over, and held Camelia's body tight.

"Where have you been all this time. Why did it just show up now?" The low voice of Jupiter was heard softly in his ears, the roar of Jupiter's breath so hot it swept through the recesses of his neck, as the man drowned his face in Camelia's neck. 

Camelia blinked her eyes repeatedly, not believing what she was going through. It is very desirable to return Jupiter's embrace, because the man's hug is really the most comfortable hug after his mother's embrace. 

The embrace of Jupiter that she so desperately wanted, now really happened, even if this was just a dream, Camelia would never be willing if she had to wake up again. But as soon as she recalled the picture frame and the lunchbox that was still perched sweetly on Jupiter's desk, as if watching her, Camelia finally took off Jupiter's embrace.

"You shouldn't be acting like this, Mr. Jupiter!" In order to neutralize her heartbeat, Camelia tried to return to her usual professional attitude. 

"You can't just act like that" he continued. 

Camelia immediately tidied up her blazer, and walked back to her chair earlier. 

"It looks like you're in a bad mood, so we'd better talk about it another time." Camelia's hands worked quickly, putting some documents into her bag. Some of the documents were forced into the room, without being tidied up first, because he wanted to get out of the room immediately, otherwise Camelia could lose control and ask Jupiter to embrace him again. 

"I'm sorry then." Jupiter did not react in the slightest, she just silently stared not even a little sound, even though Camelia had already come out of her room. 

One minute after realizing Camelia had left her room, she was angry, disappointed and upset. Jupiter wiped away everything on its desk, until it fell and splashed on the floor, including a scattered dining box and a photo frame that eventually cracked. 

As for Camelia, as soon as she reached the lobby, she immediately contacted Febian, asking the man to pick her up immediately. As if kindness still sided a little with him, Febian did not come to pick him up for long. 

"Mel, you're all right? Jupiter didn't ask for any service, did she?" Febian asked as soon as he saw his friend sobbing in the passenger seat.

"Mell,?" Ask again.

"He's fiancee, same Nadira. My good friend." Answer Camelia. His sobs got louder, making Febian finally pull the car over the shoulder of the road, because it could not bear to see Camelia so pitiful.

"Lo know from the beginning, your relationship with Jupiter will not be able to survive. You said yourself, you want to move on to Jupiter. Why are you crying now, so weak." Febian opened his seatbelt and Camelia grabbed the body of her friend who was shaking violently, crying.

"Look knows, you've been through a lot more painful times than this. You should be strong." Febian stroked the top of Camelia's head, even though he said that, Febian actually loved Camelia so much, only she wanted Camelia to stay strong and get through the difficult times. Although Camelia had experienced consecutive misfortunes, but the girl was very strong. But just behind his attitude that always looks strong, there is a heart that is very fragile, and weak. And, the greatest weakness of his life was Jupiter, his first love. 

"Gue, I've been trying, but it still hurts." Camelia was pounding her own chest, trying to relieve the pain that so gripped her heart, but it was in vain. 

"Don't hurt yourself!" Febian held Camelia's hand, "We go back to Camelia as before, don't be weak like Kara. Because now there's only Camelia, and Kara's long gone. We get this over with quickly, after which we move to Singapore after Mom. Okay?"  

Camelia could only nod weakly, again drowning her face in Febian's chest as she drowned her desire to continue to be loved by Jupiter.
