CAMELLIAS

episode 40's

After breakfast together, Jupiter wants to drive Camelia home because last night Febian had contacted her and asked Camelia to be escorted home the next morning. Despite objecting to Febian's orders, Jupiter is forced to escort Camelia, because after all she has not been fully entitled to Camelia, and also Febian is still the person most responsible for Camelia right now.  

"Finished breakfast I'll drive you home." Febian said while finishing a plate of fried rice made by Camelia.

"Fried rice is good, I don't know if I'll be able to work or not" Jupiter continued, spending one last bite and drinking fruit juice. 

"Why?" 

"Thank you, I must be sleepy. Or should I not have to go to work? And we can stay home all day. How's it?" Usul Jupiter. He felt very lazy to go to work, not usually he was like that. Because if there is no Camelia, Jupiter is so excited because by doing so much work, she can forget Camelia a little. However, this time because he was finally able to find Kara, or Camelia, he felt very reluctant to stay away from the girl, even if only for a moment.

"A boss should set a good example for his or her employees. If the boss is lazy, what about the employees." Ejek Camelia while tidying up the empty plate, and taking it to the kitchen. 

"You just come with me to the office, how? Or you'll be my secretary" Jupiter followed Camelia, to the dishwasher. 

"Do you want what the secretary is now?" 

"I can hire two secretaries at once. You just have to work for me and always be around me." Jupiter rests her chin on Camelia's shoulders. 

"Jupi,,, have changed there. After you finish washing the dishes, you also finish changing." Camelia thrashed, as soon as Jupiter hugged her from behind. 

"In the meantime, I still want to be like this." Reply, and still not let go of his embrace. 

"You forgot, last night you almost raped me." Camelia's elbow while removing Jupiter's wrists coiled around her waist. 

"What's? In rape?" Ask Jupiter in a dislike tone.

"How can it be called raping, while you've returned every kiss. Are you sure if someone in rape will scream, ahhhhh." Jupiter demonstrated the sigh that escaped Camelia's mouth last night. 

Camelia snorted, hitting Jupiter's arm very hard. 

"Hey, I'm not like that "elak Camelia, even though her facial reaction can't be hidden. 

"Yes not so, but Ahhhhhh, Jupi,, ah," Jupiter became increasingly, teasing Camelia who already seemed to hold in shame. 

"No!!"

"Hhhhhh,, that,,," 

"Jupiter!!" Now Camelia clenched her hand about to hit Jupiter very hard, but the man first ran into the room. 

Deeply embarrassed by the reaction of her body that instantly responded when Jupiter touched her, Camelia could only vent by banging on Jupiter's arm, once the man gave up and curled up on the floor, receiving every blow of Camelia. 

After being satisfied with venting her embarrassment, Camelia stopped her blow because Jupiter's hand had turned a reddish color, and the man was already grimacing for mercy on her. 

"It hurts, huh,,,?" Camelia asked as they were in the car, heading to Febian's apartment. 

"You think?" Jupiter asked back. 

"I'm sorry, "Camelia didn't mean to hurt Jupiter, but the man seemed so happy to have humiliated her. 

"Okay, I'm sorry. Oh yeah, I'm taking my leave tomorrow. How about we go for a walk?" 

"Where are you going?"

"I used to want to take you to Dufan, but I didn't have a chance to take you. So as an apology, you should be willing to take me on the road. How's it?" 

Camelia still seems to think of Jupiter's invitation, "Where is it," she deliberately makes Jupiter wait for her answer.

"Come on, you've made my hand hurt, I'm just asking you to pay by the walk. Try you think, is there a drug that can cure pain just by walking. I was slapped, and this morning I was beaten by you. So I need medicine to cure all the pain in my body." 

Jupiter did not realize that Camelia was watching him closely, once she accidentally told him about her slap incident yesterday, although Jupiter did not tell her who slapped her, but her words made Camelia instantly silent, and watch Jupiter very closely. 

"It must still hurt. Your cheeks still look red," one hand of Camelia stroked gently Jupiter's cheeks that still looked slightly red. Camelia believes that her slap must have been very loud, because it was still scarlet and red. 

"Not sick. Because now I have the cure." Jupiter clasped Camelia's hand still on her cheek.  

"So for Ms. Camelia, or Kara, don't be far from Jupiter. Because you're the cure of all my pain." 

"Basic,," Camelia smiled mischievously and pinched Jupiter's cheek.

"Awww, sick!!" Complain Jupiter. 

"So he said it didn't hurt." Camelia Ejek.

"But don't pinch it, too," Jupiter still didn't take it, and rubbed her cheek that was painful from Camelia's pinch. While Camelia just chuckled amusedly, and stuck out her tongue. 

Arriving at the apartment lobby, Camelia chose to go down by herself because Jupiter had to leave for her workplace. Although Jupiter wants to make sure Camelia reaches her doorstep, but Camelia refuses on the grounds that Jupiter must be late to the office. 

Not wanting to argue just because of a trivial matter, Jupiter finally chose to agree to Camelia's request, and only drove the girl to the lobby alone. Then he immediately went to the Global Ink office, where he worked. 

As soon as Camelia got to her apartment unit, she did not go straight in, because she saw Elea with her mother outside. 

"Aunty Mel," cried Elea upon seeing her coming.

"Hi, Elea. How are you?" Camelia approached the two-pointed little girl. Not to forget also he greeted the girl's mother, namely Kanaya. 

"Where are you going?" Camelia asked, because she saw Kanaya and her daughter were very neat.

"Elea wants to go out with Daddy" replied Elea, enthusiastically.

"Oh so it looks." Camelia feels a little confused, because all this time she knew Kanaya lived alone with Elea, and Camelia never knew who the father of the little girl was. Only he had seen a man, who was often called Father by Elea, but not called Daddy. 

"Yes, Elea wants to go out with her Daddy. You just got home?" Ask Kanaya.

"Yes, out of the friend's house." Reply Camelia.

Not long after a tall man appeared from behind the door of Kanaya's house. Her face was very similar to Elea.

"Aunty Mel, this is Daddy Elea." Elea pulled the man's hand, and introduced Camelia.

"Camelia," 

"Revan," they both shook hands. Not long after, the Kanaya family left Camelia who was still standing at the door. 

Although Camelia tried to remember who the man was, but she could not remember him in the slightest until the sound of the door opened her daydream. 

"Mel, you know, what's that rich bengong from back then?" Febian walked out from behind the door, and noticed Camelia who was still standing in front of the door. 

"Gue felt like he'd seen that guy before. But when, yes," Camelia finally entered her house, followed by Febian from behind.

"Who?"

"Who was Elea" Camelia replied, while still trying to remember, because she felt so curious. It was not usual for him to forget the face of someone he had met, but this time he found it difficult to remember, and it made him even more curious. 

"Don't tell me it's one of those entrepreneurs who's ever tasted special service from you. And if so, you die, wife of her neighbor's son." Febian's ejek, who immediately gets a dislike gaze from Camelia. 

"Damn lo, I can't possibly remember that pervert-brained pervert. Why should I want to." Camelia grumbled, opening a can of cold drink and sitting with Febian at the dinner table.

"Partially if one of your customers, the guy was really cute. Mature age, and well established. Aye right?"

"Crazy, lo!!" 

Febian just chuckles amusedly. Flirting with Camelia is one of the most fun things she does, if she is bored.

"Lo bosen?" Camelia seemed to have understood the condition of her friend. Febian would look around for ridicule material to corner Camelia, and would laugh as soon as Febian was satisfied after seeing Camelia get angry. 

 

"Yes.." answered Febian languidly.

"I've guessed," Camelia replied with a cynical smile, playing her index finger on top of a cold drink can.

"Why is that?" This time Camelia was a little more serious, as Febian's face also turned serious. 

Actually, the two of them rarely sat together and talked casually like today, but I don't know what happened to Febian, so that the man's face looked dull and lethargic.  

"Gue was forced to marry equally bad." 

Camelia choked because she was drinking her drink. 

"What's? The marriage? Seriously?" Camelia asked after she patted her chest which was still a little tight due to the drink.

"Yes. Maybe I'm starting to realize my behavior. And you know, bokap already nyiapin candidate as well. They asked me to marry a girl of choice, but I didn't want to. I don't love."  Camelia was a little concerned about the Febian romance. He was no more pathetic than Febian. It's just that Camelia still likes the opposite sex, in contrast to Febian who likes the same sex. 

People like Febian find it very difficult to break off a relationship and accept a new one, because they have such strong commitment and loyalty. Unlike normal couples like him, although often menumbar word love, but in the end they will get used to the presence of a new figure. A short example of Jupiter and Nadira. Although Jupiter has repeatedly expressed how much she loves Camelia, Jupiter is ultimately just an ordinary man who can change over time. 

"Lo knows, the cave is blind when it comes to love. Even if I give you advice, I must copy the words of wisdom from instagram and also google. I don't have an understanding that far. But, I want whatever your decision is, I want it's best for you and also the King." Camelia smiled bitterly, patting Febian on the shoulder.

"Maybe some will say, be selfish for just this one time. But I think once you're selfish, it's the same as getting more people hurt. But if we're just selfish for one person, but save a lot of people, that's much better. Although in the end we suffer much more."

"Lo in what love is Jupiter?" Camelia blinked her eyes repeatedly, not understanding Febian's question.

"Lo kissed abis-uran ya. about her today tumben lo pinter," Febian chuckled while ruffling Camelia's hair. 

"Brengs**, Febian!!" 

"Hahaha,, the cave just found out that your brain can also walk Mel. Jupiter does bring a lot of change. I salute him for making you a little smarter," 

"Gue males says the same lo!" Camelia moved from her seat, about to leave Febian still laughing at her. 

"Well, that's angry," 

"Bodo very!!" Camelia no longer paid any heed to Febian who was laughing out loud. He kept walking into his room to change his clothes, because he was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. 

A smile rose from Camelia's lips, although she was annoyed by Febian's behavior that did not take her speech seriously, but enough to make Camelia feel relieved, because finally Febian could smile. Although Camelia did not know how to fill Febian's true heart, but just by looking at her best friend was smiling, it had made Camelia calm. 

This is not the first time Febian has been forced to marry by his family. For a long time, Febian asked both parents to immediately have a family, but Febian felt not interested in marriage and did not want to impose the will of the parents, but Febian did not want to force the will of the parents, eventually Febian often reasoned to reject the arranged marriage that his parents had often arranged. 

However, as smart as anything to keep a secret, it will eventually be revealed as well. Gradually the Febian family will realize the irregularities that occur in his son, and maybe now it is the limit of his parents' patience to give time to find a mate. 

Several times Camelia had offered to be the bride of a Febian hoax, but the man refused Camelia's invitation. He always reasoned not to want to involve Camelia and actually brought her into big trouble. 

Though it would be easier to introduce Camelia to her family, because Febian and Camelia are very compatible. After all, the King was easier to convince if Febian was playing with Camelia. 

Camelia, who was sitting on the edge of her bed, could only sigh weakly each time she replied to the message Jupiter sent. Because the man was not ceaselessly sending messages, even if only to just ask if he had eaten yet. And Jupiter will call her if just one minute Camelia responds late to the message. 

Camelia realized how scared Jupiter was, in fact she was just as afraid of Jupiter. But something more terrifying awaits her, and Camelia doesn't want Jupiter to get involved. 

Maybe if only lost property like before, Camelia will not feel as scared as this, but Camelia actually feared bad things happened to Jupiter to endanger the man's life. 

His chest throbbed pain whenever he imagined Jupiter was injured just for protecting him. And Camelia didn't want that to happen. 

The sound of knocking on the door made Camelia turn her head, because after the door was knocked several times, Febian appeared from behind the door, even if it was just her head. 

"Mel I want to buy lunch, you want?"

"Gue males you go, I nitip." Reply Camelia, still not moving from where she is.

"Currently, who would want to take you. Shame noh on your neck there's a bite mark of the Jupi." 

"Well?!" Camelia immediately stood up and approached the mirror. 

True Febian speech, in his neck and collarbone looks like a kissmark that is so clearly visible. Making Camelia stare at the horror of the two red marks on her neck.

"You better check. Who knows in the chest and also in it lo, there are many. I didn't expect Jupi ganasssss,,," 

"Febbians!!!"
