Kamila (The Patience of Breaking Boundaries)
Come Apply
"Assalamualaik." Mr. Wiguna said hello and knocked on the door of Sumi's house. They have decided, will soon marry Kamila and Setya. Karna Setya, was already convinced by that. Ms. Indri and Mr. Wiguna also could not hinder their son's good intentions.
"Getishalight." Kamila answered from inside the house, opening the door. The hijab girl was stunned to see Mr. Wiguna, Ms. Indri, and Setya were in the doorway. Kamila then uphold the hand of Indri and Wiguna to his forehead.
Bu Indri appears to be wearing a simple set of gamis, but looks luxurious in his body. Bu Indri also tampat carrying a package of neatly wrapped fruits, in his hand.
While Mr. Wiguna and Setya, wearing material pants, and long-sleeved shirt batik pattern. Setya looked even more handsome wearing such formal attire. Setya also wears a small sling bag on his shoulder, which I don't know what it contains. They come just on foot. Because the distance of their home is not too far away.
"Please come in, sir, Mom," said Kamila, who was greeted with a warm smile by Mr. Indri and Mr. Wiguna.
"Are Mothers and Fathers allowed in? Husband-to-be, can't go in? Yes, I'm just sitting here" said Setya, because his name is not mentioned and not welcome to enter by Kamila. Ms. Indri reflexively pinched her ignorant son's arm.
"Anything at all. Pakek said the prospective husband is all in front of his mother and father. Just make me ashamed, "inner Kamila, who is actually happy with Setya's words.
"Sorry Setya, yes, Son Mila. You know, he is naughty" said Ms. Indri to Kamila, whose cheeks became like tomatoes after being teased by Setya.
"You're, Setya, look, Kamila's so embarrassed, you know." Mr. Wiguna laughed a little at the behavior of his son.
"Yes, it's okay, ma'am, sir," Kamila said.
Kamila who did not know that Setya was going to bring her mother and father this morning, was a little nervous. Fortunately, Kamila every morning prayers, immediately clean the house, and cook breakfast. So, Kamila was not too troubled to see the sudden arrival of guests.
"Please sit down, sir, Mom." Kamila invited Ms. Indri and Mr. Wiguna to sit in her Grandmother's old wooden chair. Four chairs, and one wooden table that is the seat of guests if visiting their homes. There, too, where Grandpa Parmin usually drinks coffee.
"Please sit down, Setya," Kamila told Setya, looking to tease Kamila again. But failed, because Kamila had allowed him to sit down.
"Thank you, host." Setya smiled mischievously at Kamila, making the girl again blush in embarrassment.
"Please excuse me for a moment, sir, Mom," said Kamila mannered, accompanied by nods of Setya's father and mother.
Kamila returned from the kitchen, brought warm tea, and a plate of biscuits on a tray, then placed it on the table.
"Please, Sir, Ma. Kamila call Grandma and Grandpa first, yeah." Kamila served tea and biscuits, and returned to take Sumi's nek, as well as waking up the still-sleeping Parmin cake, to the living room with Indri and Wiguna.
After putting Sumi's grandmother in neat clothes, and wearing a veil, Kamila carried Sumi's necklace onto a wheelchair that Kamila had bought at a thrift store, while still receiving remittances from her birth mother Ratih, and brought the grandmother to sit with Setya's family.
"Sir, wake up. Kamila has coffee. Cold later. Outside there was also a guest, Cake," said Kamila softly, so as not to make her Grandfather angry.
"Whose guests? My pal? If not, just tell her to go home." Grandpa Parmin squirms lazily.
"No, Cake. It was Setya, and his family," Kamila explained.
"Well, your friend, the rich man?" Grandpa Parmin began to open his eyes, but was still in a lying position.
"Do you want her to come with her family? You're causing trouble, aren't you?" Investigate Grandpa Parmin.
"They're proposing to Mila." Grandpa Parmin's eyeballs like going out to hear Kamila's words.
"What did you say?" Parmin's kek immediately surged up from his sleep. He seemed to be very excited to hear Kamila would be proposed to the rich.
Grandpa Parmin rushed to clean himself, then changed his clothes. She is excited to hear that Kamila is getting married to Setya. Not because he likes Setya, but considering that Setya, is the son of a rich man in this village.
"It's a golden opportunity, I can use the rich man to give me money. I will be content drinking and gambling. I'll have fun" muttered Parmin's grandfather who had only money, money, and money in his brain.
"It turns out, that kid is of no use either. It's not in vain that I've kept it since childhood." He spoke to himself as he looked at himself, imagining he would get a lot of money from the Setya family.
What a foul heart Grandpa Parmin. Instead of being happy because her granddaughter is getting married, she is happy because she will take advantage of Kamila's marriage.
I don't know what made his heart turn to stone, so there was no concern for his grandson. Though Kamila, despite being tortured by Parmin's grandfather, the girl still loved him. If his grandfather came home drunk, Kamila still took care of his grandfather with gentleness.
Once, one day, Grandpa Parmin lay sick for two weeks. His hands and feet could not move. Kamila was the one who took care of him. Not because there was no one other than him who would take care of grandfather, but the girl's soft heart that did not hold the slightest hatred.
If you remember what Parmin's grandfather did to him, Kamila is very reasonable if you refuse to take care of him. But what the girl did, she painstakingly took care of her grandfather, and her grandmother who was also lying sick. Feed the two, even, while urinating in bed, the girl sincerely cleansed.
There is nothing to be gained by doing all this. After being healthy, Grandpa Parmin returned to do arbitrarily to him. Go back to torturing that girl mercilessly. In fact, Kamila's feet were doused with hot water until it blistered and impregnated until now, because long ago prepared coffee for him.
What a bitter story of Kamila's life. He tried to do it himself for his life. Kamila also had to strengthen her heart day by day.
