CAMELLIAS

episode 46's

Febian took Camelia to Singapore the next day. Febian knows that Camelia is agitated and unsettled. Finally they both decided to go, to meet Camelia's mother who had lived there for several years. 

Meanwhile, Jupiter is confused to find the existence of Camelia, who immediately disappeared after they were both separated at Ngurah Rai airport in Bali. Jupiter is afraid that Camelia will disappear like before.

And this afternoon, after Jupiter had returned from office, he immediately headed for Camelia's residence. For two days the woman had not given him news, or simply replied to the message he sent. Jupiter felt uneasy, as Camelia instantly changed after that night. Although Camelia did not tell her what happened, Jupiter was convinced that Camelia was hiding something from her. 

Arriving in front of Camelia's apartment, she immediately pressed the bell, but there was no answer, nor did the door open. Many times Jupiter tried to call Camelia's cell phone number, but her phone was inactive. Making Jupiter even more restless, until finally Jupiter tried to contact Febian. 

Fortunately, Febian's mobile number is still active, but Jupiter must be disappointed again, because Febian did not go to raise a call from him. Feeling so frustrated, Jupiter could only rub his face violently. There was nothing he could do, as it was hard to find Camelia's whereabouts. 

"Uncle, Jupi…." Someone shouted his name, and suddenly made Jupiter turn toward the source of the sound. 

"Gee!" Jupiter saw the little girl in two braids, running towards her and followed by a woman from behind her. 

"Uncle Jupi what's going on here? Want to go to Mel's house? Which aksa?" The little girl flocked Jupiter with many questions in a single breath, making Jupiter smile in a fit of anxiety. 

"Uncle wants to see aunty Mel. But I don't think Aunty Mel is home. Elea knows where aunty Mel went?" Jupiter asked with her head down, aligning her body with Elea. 

"Elea doesn't know where Mel's aunt went. Elea also misses aunty Mel, uncle must also miss huh?" 

"Yes, uncle kangen." 

"Camelia's been gone, since noon." Answer the woman who came with Elea. Jupiter immediately glanced at the woman, and immediately stood up.

"Where are you?" 

"I don't know, but he left with Febian. Looks like they're going somewhere far away, 'cause they left Jupi in the penthouse." 

"Mother look at Mel aunty. Why is Jupi not in Elea's house." Elea complained to the woman who turned out to be her mother. 

 

"Elea has to go to school, and mom has to work. Poor Jupi if he stays in our house, he'd better be left out because there, jupi won't be lonely and many friends." Obviously the mother. 

"Did Camelia have a family who lived far away from here?" Ask Jupiter again.

"I know less. Because Camelia is so secretive and rarely talks about her family." Jupiter is disappointed. 

"Thank you info. Then I'll go home. Elea uncle came home yes," Jupiter stroked Elea's hair.

"Later to play again, uncle, Jak Aksa too."

"definitely. Later uncle will play again, and definitely invite Aksa too." 

After saying goodbye, and leaving Camelia's apartment, Jupiter no longer knows where to look for Camelia. True to what Elea's mother told her, Camelia was very secretive and never wanted to talk about her family. Even a few months back near, did not make Jupiter know about the family or anything else about Camelia's life. 

"Have you heard of Jupiter?" Febian asked after they took off and boarded a taxi that would take them to Camelia's parents' house. They both arrived in Singapore at exactly seven p.m. 

"Dome." Answer Camelia. She has not told Jupiter about her disappearance, and Camelia has never returned the message Jupiter sent her. 

"Pantes," complained Febian as he brandished his cell phone. Jupiter's name is lined up and very much on the incoming call list. 

"Lo know, if you like it continues, the man will tell me mulu. And I'm uncomfortable, the cave does not want to be considered cheating on the King. Cepet call him!" Febian clucked in annoyance, because whenever Camelia did not give any news to Jupiter, the man would constantly terrorize Febian. 

"Yes, I want bales." Camelia smiled at Febian who was upset by Jupiter.

"You know you have a chatty man." Febian grousers, while putting his cell phone back into the pocket of the jacket he was wearing.

Camelia immediately activated her cell phone, and not long after it lit up, dozens of messages came in and it was all from Jupiter. Camelia smiled at how panicked the man was, knowing he had no news at all. Soon he replies to Jupiter to tell him he is okay. 

But just after the message was sent, Jupiter first called him.

"Hello."

"Where are you?" Jupiter immediately asked in a panicked tone of voice.

"I'm in Singapore, you don't have to worry I'm okay." Camelia tries to calm Jupiter down, she knows the man is panicking due to his sudden departure.

"Can't be, if it goes it's say-say. Or at least reply to my message. You know I'm almost crazy, wait for a message from you." Camelia laughed at Jupiter's complaints.

"You can laugh while I'm confused. Wow, that's great for you!" 

"Aren't I great?" 

"Not to be a pervert. On the phone you still have a chance.you discuss the great and not, ck,,ck.." said Febian, who immediately got a punch by camelia, in his hand. 

"Where areyou? I'm following." 

"I'm doing fine. You don't have to catch up. I won't be long, I just want to visit mom, you don't have to worry." Camelia refocused on her conversation, and no longer paid any heed to Febian who was still teasing her. 

"But you're definitely back, right?" A little worried from Jupiter's question. 

"I'm definitely back. I know there are people who miss me so much in Jakarta, if I don't come back."

"You know, I'm so scared. You just disappeared," complained Jupiter, now he was calm again, although occasionally still heard sulking and protesting because it was not allowed to follow him to Singapore. 

"What if it turns out I'm back to disappearing, and not coming back." Ask Camelia.

"I'll look for you, anywhere. And I will definitely find you, even if you hide in the farthest parts of the earth." Camelia smiled, but in fact deep down she was preparing herself if, one day, a bad possibility happened. 

"You sure you're gonna find me?"

"I'm sure!" Jupiter answered with confidence.

"You're wrong, there's one place you can't meet in this world, if I hide there." 

"Where?"

"In the afterlife,"

"Meaning when you're really hiding there, you want me to go there too." Jupiter's answer, just beyond Camelia's expectations. 

"I don't need your permission, because life or death is the only thing that determines it."

"Jupiter,,,"

"I love you too." Jupiter was smiling across the street, in contrast to Camelia who was desperately holding back her tears. 

"I send greetings to my mother-in-law. Tell him, his handsome son-in-law hasn't been able to see him." Camelia was unable to answer, her voice felt stuck in her throat and difficult to get out. 

"Don't stay there long. I miss." 

Jupiter ended the call and was able to breathe a sigh of relief once she learned of Camelia's existence. Although she was still afraid, afraid that the woman would not return, but at least she could still track Camelia's whereabouts. 

Not long after Camelia and Febian arrived at the residence of Camelia's parents. A modest house in one of the countryside located in one of the villages which is quite far from the capital city of Singapore.  They deliberately chose a place to live far from the capital, because given the condition of Camelia's mother who is still in the healing stage. 

Camelia's presence was warmly welcomed by her mother Dahlia. 

The woman who now looked old immediately hugged her daughter very tightly.

"Mom misses you, son." His embrace grew tighter, plus a small suction that escaped from Dahlia's lips. 

"Kara also misses mom." The mother and son miss each other, after almost a year of not seeing each other because of Camelia's busyness. 

"Where is Mamh Nia?" Camelia asked after they took off the hug.

"She, she just went to bed. Just took medicine." 

"How's development? Has there been any change?" The two of them walked together, towards Nia's room. 

The door slowly opened, and featured a middle-aged female figure that was much older than Dahlia. In terms of age they are not too much different, it's just that Nia had a mental disorder, after giving birth to Camelia. Until now the state of Nia has been much better, although not much change means.

"Your friend, how are you?" Camelia sat by the bed, clasping the hand of the wrinkled and thin mother.

 Camelia stroked slowly Nia's hair, gently rubbing her cheeks slowly, she did not want her movements to wake her mother. Camelia loves Nia very much, although Nia never realizes that Camelia is the daughter she was born with. 

After Dahlia's adoption, Camelia never knew she had another mother, other than Dahlia. But no matter how much someone hides a secret, it will eventually be revealed as well. After learning that she is only an adopted child, Camelia immediately searches for the whereabouts of her biological mother. However, the bitter reality must be re-accepted, once he knew it turned out that the mother had a mental disorder and did not remember ready Camelia.

But like a child's love for her mother, Camelia still loves Nia, just as she loves Dahlia. 

"How are you doing in Jakarta?" Ask Dahlia, now they are at the dinner table after eating the dishes provided by Dahlia. Camelia feels even more pleased to see Dahlia now, because she values everything more than she used to. Now Dahlia looks like a woman in general, taking care of the house, cooking and managing a small cake shop in her own right, after going bankrupt. 

"I'm doing good, ma'am. But there hasn't been much change for mom's company." Dahlia immediately grabbed her daughter's fingers, gently stroking the back of Camelia's hand lovingly.

"Mom didn't ask about the company. I asked about you, because you're so much more important than the company." 

"But still ma'am, the company that was a startup since a long time ago, had to end up in vain because of a mistake I made."

"Mom doesn't blame you, son. I'm willing to lose that company, rather than lose you." 

Dahlia who used to be so cold, now she changed and loved Camelia so much. He realizes after his divorce from Fathur, he has no one left but Camelia. 

"Nathan's death wasn't your fault. God has set the age limit of a person when he is still in his mother's womb. So stop blaming yourself. If it's too hard to live, come back here, and we can live happily here." 

Dahlia tries to convince her beloved daughter, she knows Camelia has been very trying to take responsibility for the mistakes she once made. However, Dahlia is convinced that her daughter never had any evil intentions, even to the point of taking someone's life. He knew it was just a misunderstanding, which unfortunately Camelia got the impact. 

"I want to get back here soon. But, there's still one person I have to make sure of. I'll be back when I know for sure, if he's safe." Reply Camelia.

Dahlia smiled meaningfully, "what is Jupiter?" 

Even if her daughter did not tell who the person in question was, Dahlia already knew who that person was. Because Dahlia knew her daughter's feelings a long time ago, she still loves Jupiter, her first love.  

"Is he still as handsome as he used to be?" Goda Dahlia's.

"Still, even much more handsome." Camelia answered with red cheeks.

"Mother was curious as handsome as what she was at the moment. He was so handsome, especially now." Dahlia laughed, remembering the faces of teenagers she had once met. 

"He's getting good-looking and,,, sexy." Camelia's Cuckoo. 

They both laughed together. 

Meanwhile, Febian could only see the closeness of mother and child from a distance. He smiled, it was not wrong to bring Camelia to his mother's place, because it was only a mother's embrace that was able to make the child's feelings much better. 

But Febian's smile disappeared instantly, when he got a message from Jupiter. Jupiter still asks about Camelia's state, though,

"Mel, where are you, hp?" Febian Shouting.

"Why is it in the room?"

Febian came over, with an annoyed look on his face.

"Kantongin why hp. You have an impatient man, but you even deliberately do not bring hp." Febian Grunts.

"Who's feb?" Ask Dahlia.

"Tante knows, the future aunt's daughter-in-law is a bitch. He can terrorize me once every minute, every time my aunt's son replies late. I was like the information center, asking me a little bit." Febian complains, while sipping fries on the table. 

"really?" Dahlia did not believe the Febian story. 

"real aunt. Maybe if they get married, they'll have a lot of kids right away, because they're very diligent about making,,,"

Camelia immediately smothered Febian's mouth with her palm, for she feared that Febian would further relate to her relationship with Jupiter.

"Jiwa lo emang taper Feb. Better to wear skirts all at once, so that the more suitable mouth the same appearance." 

"Gue is better than girl. I never made a red mark on your neck!" Feeling anxious, Camelia finally beat Febian's body with her hand. 

Dahlia could only laugh at the behavior of the two children, she felt lucky because Camelia could be good friends with Febian. Although he initially hoped that the two of them could get married, but after knowing that Febian did not like the opposite sex, his hopes were dashed. Now he can only hope, whoever the man who will be his son-in-law, he wants the man to love his daughter and make her happy.
