CAMELLIAS

episode 32

Febian sighed, sighing deeply, while closing his eyes. It's too early to hear Camelia's unrelenting chatter, ever since the two of them met at the dinner table, for breakfast together. 

"Mel, I can't be angry later, just as I've had breakfast. Bread, just as no coffee goes into my stomach, they don't go into my stomach, but into my ears!" Febian. 

"What's wrong, find another investor. Why Jupiter? Do you know what he did to me yesterday? He's almost my merkosa!" Camelia said, still angry, because of yesterday when suddenly Jupiter kissed her.

"Any rape, if you don't enjoy the kiss of Jupiter, you can't smile all night." Febian Cibir. 

Camelia's eyes immediately glanced, staring intently at Febian, feeling displeased with Febian's words, though the fact that Febian's speech had a point, while Febian just shrugged his shoulders, chuckling. At first Febian was concerned to see Camelia suddenly come home with a crumpled look and reddened face, like crying. Febian had felt guilty, because he could not overcome the problem of cooperation between himself and Jupiter, and again had to involve Camelia.

Camelia shut herself in her room until midnight, when she missed dinner, despite Febian repeatedly having dinner with her, but Camelia did not respond and stayed in the room. Because of curiosity, finally Febian decided to see for himself the condition of Camelia, Febian worried, afraid of something bad back to happen to Camelia.

In Febian's mind, he would see Camelia in a terrible condition, but he saw just the opposite. Febian saw Camelia talking to Jupi, holding her lips repeatedly. Although Jupi was sound asleep, Camelia remained enthusiastic about telling stories, until Febian caught a sentence that could answer her curiosity. 

"Jupi, Appa you kissed eomma." Camelia immediately smiled in excitement, while holding her lips. He was not aware of the presence of Febian, who was watching him with a feeling of arrogance. Camelia was engrossed in her babbling, although she certainly knew, there was no point in talking to a cat who was fast asleep. Febian poultice who appa, Camelia means. The girl often names her beloved boy with strange names, one of which is appa. After seeing Camelia's condition that was far from good, Febian finally returned to his room. 

After seeing Camelia in fine condition, Febia thought she could have breakfast quietly and peacefully. Remembering his housemates, he was in good condition. However, his guess was wrong. Febian was immediately showered with complaints as soon as he met Camelia at the dinner table. I don't know why Camelia can come back in angry mode, but last night she was fine. 

"Jupi, here,, call before you, about eomma you're going crazy again." Shouted Febian, at Jupi who was still rolling his body, on the hairy mat. 

Without waiting for a reply from Camelia, Febian immediately finished one loaf of strawberry jam filling bread in one mouthful. 

"Febian, wash the glass on the same plate!" Camelia shouted, as soon as she saw Febian waltzing back into the room, without washing the glasses and dishes first. 

"Gue titip lo aja. I'm in a hurry," replied Febian. No matter what Camelia screams. 

After Febian left, Camelia stayed inside the apartment. Today he had no activities, because all the work had been completed by Febian one day ago.

All day just being inside the house, making Camelia feel bored, finally Camelia wanted to invite Jupi to play in the park near her apartment. Although the cat can not see, but Jupi really like to be taken to the open, and will run to and fro like a cat in general. 

Camelia put Jupi in a cat purse, and brought some Jupi snacks and drinking water for her, she was ready to take an afternoon walk around the green garden provided by the apartment manager. 

"Come, we'll take an afternoon walk!!" Camelia exclaimed, as she gently stroked Jupi's fur. With a spirit Camelia opened the door to go to the park. But his eyes seemed to jump from his place, as soon as he saw the figure of a tall man standing right in front of the door of his apartment. 

"Hi,," awkwardly Jupiter greeted Camelia. 

"So I asked you for your address, but the wrong house," continued Jupiter, scratching the back of his head. 

"Aunty Mel, this om this is the wrong house. She was looking for Mel's aunt in Elea's house." Shouted Elea, the son of his front-door neighbor. He suddenly appeared from behind the door of his house. 

"Ah, yes. Thank you Elea." Reply Camelia, smiling as she waved at the little girl. After Elea disappeared behind the door, Camelia's face turned flat, looking questioningly at Jupiter. 

"What do you need?" Ask Camelia. 

"That,, I actually, that, ah you must be Jupi right? Hi Jupi how are you. You remember me?" Jupiter switched the conversation by greeting Jupi. Although Jupiter tries to be sweet, but not always the maker of curved Camelia lips, smiling. The girl was still acting cold, with one eyebrow raised. 

"I'm looking for you. And, I'm sorry I took the information from your personal data, to find your address." Jupiter finally acknowledged his true intentions. 

 "What do you need?" Ask Camelia again.

"Yes, there is a need for you to find the address where I live. We don't have a work schedule today." 

"There is none. But, I just want to see you," Jupiter replied.

Although inwardly feeling so happy, but Camelia tried to keep him. 

"Now I see. So, what are you still here for?" 

"Geez Kara!" Feeling annoyed with Camelia's attitude that never softened, Jupiter finally pushed Camelia's body back into her house. 

"It is impolite to let guests stand at the door!" Jupiter. Without waiting for the host to let her in and sit down, Jupiter first took off her shoes and sat down in the guest chair. Camelia was flabbergasted at Jupiter's behavior, she even blinked her eyes repeatedly, confirming whether or not she was hallucinating. 

"I thirst. I'm asking for a drink." Jupiter's voice resuscitated him, and again made him realize, if the Jupiter in front of him was genuine and not a mere hallucination. 

"Guests must be given a drink!" And Jupiter again.

Camelia immediately put Jupi back in the cage, and took the glass, and filled it with cold water. 

"Now," Camelia thrust a glass filled with white water at Jupiter, still with her sour look. Jupiter immediately downed the water in the glass to the toilet, and placed the empty glass on the table. 

"You still want to stand there? Don't you wanna sit?" Fresh Jupiter, because Camelia just stood side by side watching him. 

"What do you need?" Ask Camelia, still with the same question and tone of speech. 

Jupiter sighed tiredly, "I miss you. And I want to see you. Could that be one of the reasons I could come here?" 

Hearing Jupiter's words, Camelia's cheeks suddenly felt hot. "What do you mean?" Despite her nervousness, Camelia still tried to act ordinary. 

Jupiter stood, approaching Camelia who was still standing. 

"Don't dodge anymore, I've been looking for you for a long time." Jupiter grabbed Camelia's hand, clutching tightly the tiny hand she so longed for.  

"You know, I was almost crazy when you just disappeared. And if all this time you think I've never remembered or looked for your existence, you're wrong," Jupiter's getting closer, eroding the distance between the two. 

"I am busy studying diligently, and trying to become a successful entrepreneur, so that I can easily find your existence," he continued. 

"I believe one day I can find you, and I also believe that even though I can't find you, but in the end we will find each other. And, you see, we are now reunited under all coincidences." Jupiter's one hand stroked Camelia's hair, grabbed the child by the hair and tucked it behind Camelia's ear. 

"I believe it's not a coincidence, but we do love each other, until finally God reunited us." 

Camelia was silent, staring at the man in front of her. Dive deep into Jupiter's eyes, as if looking for a speck of lies from Jupiter's eyes, but Camelia could not find a single lie from Jupiter's eyes. All he saw was the same look in his eyes as before, when the man declared his love for him. 

"Camelia or Kara, to me it's the same. You're still my round-eyed girl." Jupiter's hands cupped Camelia's cheeks. 

"I love you, and I miss u so bad." Watered Jupiter as she briefly kissed Camelia's lips and pulled the little girl's body into her arms.
