CAMELLIAS

episode 59

Though never telling the truth to Febian, Febian often sees Camelia crying in silence while hugging a white shirt believed to be Jupiter's shirt. In front of Febian, Camelia could have lied and never talked about Jupiter again, but if she wasn't there she would have cried again, and kept crying like that. 

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Camelia, Febian continues to investigate Camelia's case. He knows the mastermind behind all this is Nadia and Edward. But to ensnare Edward is very difficult, because the man has the power that makes him can be separated from the legal path. But for Nadia, the woman was still included in the category of amateur criminals, because all her actions were not thought out with careful planning, so Febian could easily find a number of strong evidence to prosecute her. 

But that's not what Febian wants. If it's easy to get Nadia into the bars, but Febian wants more than that, he wants something that can make Nadira feel guilty, just like Jupiter did. 

Febian secretly meets Nadira, unbeknownst to Camelia. Nadira is still in the hospital, to do all kinds of therapy that must be run. Making it easier for Febian to find Nadira's whereabouts, especially when the clock is over and Nadira's family is off guard, Febian enters and meets Nadira. 

The presence of Febian did not make Nadira surprised because he had seen Camelia several times with Febian. Nadira initially thought Febian was Camelia's lover, but after this problem was revealed, Nadira finally knew if Febian was just a friend or rather a man who always accompanied wherever Camelia went.  

"Lo can't be surprised by my arrival." Febian asked as he sat down, crossed his legs and picked up a red apple on the table.

"No, I'm waiting to come." Reply Nadira relax. 

"good. I didn't come here to threaten your safety, but I just wanted to tell you, even though this matter was considered over by Kara, but not for me." 

"Well lucky, he's surrounded by men who love him so much, including you." 

"Gue?" Febian pointed to himself.

"Yes, maybe Kara thinks of you as a friend. But not for you," 

"Take it like that" said Febian.

"Gue must have made the same calculation as your sister, so don't try to get in my way." Febian remarks, although relaxed but still it was a threat.

"Maybe you think I'd think I'd prevent you? I won't prevent anything, do whatever you want." Reply Nadira, smiling sideways. 

"Wow, your answer is far from what I expected." Febian Kekeh.

"Maybe he had to be taught a little lesson, so he could know what it's like to be me and Kara." Nadira.

"Good then. I feel like I have support from you." Now Febian stood up from his seat, tidying up his slightly creased shirt.

"You can take revenge on my brother, but don't hurt him." 

"Did he ever think his actions hurt other people. No, right?" 

"Gue can't guarantee anything. I just want, what Kara feels, can be felt brother lo. Impas not. If so, I hope you get better soon." Febian said as he waved his hand and left Nadira.

After meeting Nadira, Febian went straight to his apartment. Although he had many plans to avenge Camelia's heartache, Febian did not want to rush into action. This time he was more careful in carrying out his mission. Aside from her working behind Camelia, it was also because she could not leave Camelia alone for too long in her apartment. Although Camelia's psychiatric condition is stable, Febian still feels worried, and afraid if Camelia to do the unwanted thing. 

Before going home, Febian first took the time to buy some ingredients to make a cake or pudding. Camelia must have activities, so that she does not constantly remember the incident. By busy yourself in the kitchen, can make his attention a little distracted. Febian chose several ingredients to make the cake, according to the type Camelia preferred. The girl is not very good at cooking, but she really likes making sweet snacks, although sometimes it tastes far from expectations. But it was better, than Camelia kept crying and hugging Jupiter's shirt all day. 

Arriving at the apartment, Febian could not find Camelia anywhere. He was again struck by panic, and immediately called Camelia's mobile number. It was fortunate that Camelia immediately raised her call, making Febian sigh in relief. 

It turns out that Camelia is at Kanaya's house, she is making some snacks that Eela will take to her school. After learning of Camelia's whereabouts, Febian was able to breathe a sigh of relief. 

"Who's Mel?" Kanaya asked, while carrying a baking dish. 

"Febony, ma'am." Camelia answered while putting the phone into the apron she was wearing. 

"He's sleeping?" Kanaya asked Camelia, when she saw Elea had cupped her head on the table, and her eyes were closed.

"Yes, he's sleeping, he said tired. He was the one who wanted to make the cake." Camelia's Cuckoo.

"I'll take him to the room first, yeah," 

Camelia nodded, while Kanaya held her daughter, about to move Elea into the room. 

Not long after, Kanaya arrives. Help Camelia finish printing the cookie dough.

"Febian is so attentive to you. She must have been worried as soon as she knew you weren't home." 

"Yes, he was indeed more attentive to me, especially after the events of that time." Reply Camelia.

"What exactly happened?" Ask Kanaya.

"I won't force you if you don't want to tell a story." Kanaya.

 Although he wanted to hear what had happened to Camelia that day, but he would not force it because he knew it was Camelia's personal matter.

"I want to ask you something first. Can you?" Camelia asked back.

"May, what do you want to know." 

"Mak Kanaya was first like that, with Elea's father?" Camelia asked hesitantly. 

"You mean body-to-body?" 

Camelia grimaced, embarrassed to ask such intimate questions, but it seemed like Kanaya and herself had the same problem, just a different storyline.

"The first time I did this 'it' thing, it was with Elea's father. The man became the first and last person to touch me, and it just so happened that my condition was in its infertile days. Although it was only the first time I did it, Elea was immediately present in my womb." Kanaya's story while stroking her queen's stomach, imagining her memories first. 

"What was that time, you just did it?" Kanaya asked back. 

"Yes, but it's a pity that I don't have the same fate as you. Today my guest came. I was thinking, I might get pregnant after doing that, but I didn't." Camelia was a little relieved, after knowing this morning, her monthly guests came on time.

"I wouldn't be as strong as Kanaya, if I got pregnant outside of marriage. Or maybe God still loves me, by giving me a chance to have a relationship with another man, without having to remember that man. It must be difficult not, when we try to forget but instead every day we must be reminded by seeing a heart that is so similar to the father."

Kanaya smiles, she agrees with Camelia's opinion because she is very difficult to forget Revan because Revan's shadow is always seen in Elea. 

"Do you still love Elea's father?" 

"I still love Revan very much, but I can't continue my relationship with him." 

"Why?" 

"Because Revan already has a potential fiancee. I don't want to be considered a third person, and destroy their relationship."

"The reason is so cliche" Camelia sneered. Kanaya did not feel offended, instead she laughed.

"Then, why do you look so sad lately. Is your relationship with a guy named Jupi over?" 

"I never had a relationship with him." Answer Camelia slowly,

"But you love each other, don't you?" Search for Kanaya, with one eyebrow raised. 

"Oh, my relationship is complicated and,, it's, it's hard to explain." 

"If you can't be with the man who is always in your prayers, maybe God presents someone who is always near you instead" Kanaya gently touched the back of Camelia's hand.

"Whatever's going on with you right now, believe me there's always a rainbow after the rainstorm has passed." 

"I also hope that Kanaya and Elea will be happy. I'm grateful to have neighbors like you." Camelia answered Kanaya's hand. 

"Maybe next week I'll be back in Singapore, and I'll stay there, forever. I'll miss you guys." Lirih Camelia, with a sad tone. 

"Me and Elea will miss you, Mel. Wherever you are, take good care of yourself, and don't forget to tell." 

"Must be mbak,,

"It's take it home, Febian's gonna love it." Kanaya gave one jar containing chocolate paintings of the three of them.

Camelia could not see who the person was, but as if she did not want to bother, Camelia no longer cared about the person and chose to enter the house. 

One week passed, before taking care of her move Camelia only busied herself by playing with Elea. But today, Camelia saw Elea with a man and his nanny walking in a hurry. Even the man ignored her question, but Camelia was convinced that she had seen him. While Elea's nanny changes today, Tuti is usually friendly to her, but this time sus Tuti like everyone else. And like the man, Sus Tuti ignored his question. 

While Elea, she just followed the footsteps of the man. His body seemed to be stumbling, offsetting the steps of a man who was larger than his small footsteps. 

Feeling that something is wrong, and suspicious, Camelia secretly follows the car carrying Elea. Camelia didn't bring the car, because she was afraid of losing track. He chose to ride the online motorcycle, and continued to follow wherever the car went.

"Sir, where are we really going?" Ask the motorcycleman. 

"Follow that car, sir. I'll pay more."

"It's not a matter of overpayment, but it's already night and we've gone too far to follow it." 

"Yes, I know, just follow. I'll pay you what money, a million, two million?" Camelia Bargain. 

He becomes suspicious of the car carrying Elea. They had taken Elea too far, and she had trouble contacting Kanaya. Not only was Kanaya difficult to contact, but it was also Febian. The man had said goodbye to him this morning, but until now Febian was difficult to contact. Even his phone number is off. It's not usually Febian like that. 

Finally the car carrying Elea stopped at an old building that was not used. Camelia's suspicions are further evidenced when Elea is brought out of the car in tears and calls her mother, Kanaya. 

After paying a certain amount of money to the online motorcycle taxi driver, with a large enough, Camelia slowly follows the group that brought Elea. 

Walking quietly, he continued to follow wherever the man took Elea. But as soon as she saw Elea tied up in a chair, the girl kept crying calling her mother's name. Camelia had seen some of the faces in the room, and some of them knew the person. There were two women and and two smiling men watching the cry of the little girl, who had started to lose her voice from crying too often. The situation has become more emergency, while no one can be contacted, Camelia finally chose to contact Jupiter. 

In this desperate situation, Camelia put aside her embarrassment and chose to contact Jupiter for help. There was no way she would leave Elea alone like that. 

"Jupi, where are you?" Camelia's voice was slow, so that no one else could hear her. 

"Kara? What's up?" 

"I asked for help, now I'm, akhh." the connection was cut off once a sharp object hit the back of the head. Camelia could not remember anything more, she only felt her body being dragged and back down very hard. Then after that he said, there were screams of Elea who kept calling her name while crying. 

"Aunty.. aunty Mel.. don't bust, Elea's afraid.." afterwards Camelia loses her consciousness. And he doesn't remember anything anymore. 

Slowly Camelia wriggled slowly, and felt a pain in the back of her head. He said he heard someone talking. White light seemed to dazzle his gaze, even several times he had to open his eyes, adjusting the light that was so bright in his eyes. 

"You're sad" someone asked.

"Mister Kanya?" Kanaya was beside him, and immediately stroked the soft back of Camelia's hand.

"Where's elea?" Camelia's first question, she was very worried about the girl's condition, because she was born to see Elea held captive and tied to a chair. 

"Elea good. Exceptionally well. Thank you for saving my daughter." Kanaya. He could not hold back his sobs, as he continued to hold Camelia's hand. 

"I owe you a debt of gratitude, if only Jupiter had not found out about you and Elea soon, I knew what would happen to my daughter. Now that she's okay, and she keeps asking where you are, she says why her mel aunty is so long." Camelia smiled happily, Elea finally survived. Although he had to re-engage Jupiter. 

"Where is he now?" 

"Maybe he's on his way here with his Daddy."

"Which freak, does he know I'm here. How long have I been unconscious." 

The look on Kanaya's face instantly changed as soon as Camelia asked about Febian.

"One day you are unconscious. But the doctor said you're fine, and you'll be fine soon." 

"But Febian definitely is,,," 

"Aunty Mel,,," cried Elea as soon as she saw that Camelia had regained consciousness.

"Elea, how are you, baby?" Camelia asked the girl who was in the arms of the man who was still wearing a sneli, 

"Why is aunty so old." Elea complains while struggling from her father's arms, and chooses to join Camelia.

"Aunty sleepy baby, so aunty bobo." Reply to Camelia while peeping at Elea's head. Still can look bruised on Elea's face, I don't know what the bad guys did so they firmly hurt a little girl. 

They chatted for quite a while, making Camelia forget her question about the existence of Febian. He was still waiting for Febian's arrival, and felt something strange because the man had not come to see him. While his mind was still floating around looking for the whereabouts of Febian, suddenly the door of the room where he was being treated opened. He hoped it was Febian, but he was again disappointed because it was not Febian, but Jupiter. 

"How are you doing?" Ask Jupiter while putting one plastic containing fruit.  

"It's better. Thank you for helping me." 

"No need to thank you, because I didn't catch the culprit, but the police. And I'm just an intermediary." Reply to Jupiter while sitting next to Camelia's bed. 

"You know where Febian is? I couldn't reach her, my phone went missing after I was unconscious in the building." 

Jupiter looked weak, though,

"He's waiting too, he'd love you to visit him." 

"He where? Why didn't he come to me?" Camelia asked, she sensed that something was wrong with Jupiter's words. 

"He can't go anywhere, so you're the one who has to see him." 

"Where is he? Take me, he wants me to hit him apparently." 

Jupiter immediately took a wheelchair for Camelia to use, although Camelia's legs did not hurt, but Jupitet still forced Camelia to use a wheelchair. 

Slowly the chair was pushed by Jupiter through every aisle of the hospital, but Camelia immediately held back the pace of the wheelchair, which she had been told to do,

"Where are we going?" Ask once they arrive at a room that just by calling it, has made the whole body cold.

"She's been waiting for you for the last two days inside." Jupiter is pushing back in the wheelchair. 

The cold felt so bone-chilling, that even Camelia felt her heart beating so fast, like running tens of thousands of kilometers. 

Someone approached the two of them, as if they understood what they were looking for, the officer carried Jupiter and Camelia to a drawer that let out thick white smoke, and once the drawer opened a stiff body with a face that was no longer shaped. It is difficult to recognize who the person who has been lying stiff in the refrigerator, it's just that the clothes he wears and the birthmark near his little finger make Camelia feel tight. 

"Who is he?" Ask her with a trembling voice.

"He's Febian." Answer Jupiter while kneeling near Camelia's chair.

"He had an accident, and his life could not be saved. He was in an accident with Nadia, and unfortunately the two couldn't be saved." Wiry Jupiter while holding Camelia's hand that began to cool.

"No! It's not Febian! Febian couldn't have left me!" Camelia started sobbing.

"Kara, relax. He is Febian. From the evidence and the available data, it was indeed Febian." 

"No!!! It's not Febian. No!! Please tell me it's not Febian!" Camelia was already crying, shaking Jupiter's body.

"Say that it's a lie!! It's not Febian!! Aye!! You must be the wrong person?!"

Jupiter could only look at Camelia with a sad look. He knew Camelia must have been shaken by Febian's sudden departure. But fate could not be changed, and Febian was gone. 

"No!!! It's not Febian!!" Camelia screamed while lashing out at Jupiter's body.

"She can't leave me! It's not Febian!!"
