Kamila (The Patience of Breaking Boundaries)
Aral Cross
Grandpa Parmin's been overcome. Now, one more problem comes. If you want to get married, Kamila must find out who her real father is to become a guardian of the marriage. Because as is known, Parmin's grandfather was his maternal grandfather. Of course, Parmin's grandfather had no hand in becoming a guardian at Kamila's wedding.
"Everything Grandpa said is true, Setya. How can we get married, if my real father, no one knows his figure, except Mom." Kamila opened her voice, with the rest of the crying that had just subsided. With her soft voice, Kamila confirmed what Grandpa Parmin had just said.
"While Mom, it hasn't been home for decades. In fact, in the last two years, I have never told you," he added with a sad tone considering the mother who never heard the news.
"Calm down, Kamila. I'll try to find a way out of this. I promise you." Setya calms Kamila down. The man's determination was very strong. He will definitely try to find Kamila's mother.
"Yes, Son. Kamila don't be sad, yeah. Father and Setya, will definitely look for Kamila's mother." Mr. Wiguna made Kamila even more convinced, that they would actually find his mother. Followed by a nod of Bu Indri, who still embraced Kamila affectionately.
Kamila's mood seemed a little relieved. Same with Grandma Sumi. She wanted her granddaughter to live happily with a good man, like Setya. Nek Sumi doesn't want anything to get in the way of their marriage.
"Camila." Setya called out the name of the woman, while walking towards Kamila.
Setya held Kamila's hand. The return made the girl's heart rumble.
Feelings that exist in his heart, in Setya.Peasings that he had considered only limited to feelings for a friend, now turned into a different. The love that Kamila had never felt before, felt very strange in her heart. The feeling that was always pushed aside by Kamila, now can no longer be the girl.
Setya, then put a ring to Kamila's ring finger. The ring given by his mother, which was prepared for a long time by Ms. Indri, to be given to Setya's future wife, whomever she chooses. And, Kamila is the lucky woman who will be the owner of the ring.
"This, as a sign that I won't waste you, Kamila. Trust your heart, to me. Everything will be fine" Setya said after putting a ring on Kamila's finger.
"Thank you, because you've been my protector all this time, Setya. Your heart is very sincere." She smiled at Setya. Tears of happiness are now spilling, accompanied by the girl's sweet smile.
"In a moment, you'll be mother's daughter-in-law, Kamila. You're the daughter-in-law that I've been hoping for, to be Setya's companion." Madam Indri hugged Kamila, and smiled happily.
The atmosphere of the house that had been tense, because of the debate between Parmin's grandfather, and Setya, now turned into full of warmth. Everyone's faces look so happy.
"Then we go home first, Nek Sumi, Kamila." Mr. Wiguna said goodbye to Nek Sumi and Kamila.
Likewise with Ms. Indri, while kissing the reverence of Nek Sumi's hand, then hugging the old woman who is very dear to her future daughter-in-law. While Kamila, not to miss holding the hands of her two prospective in-laws, put it to the forehead, with her body slightly bent.
Really, that girl is very virtuous. Educated from the grandmother from an early age, Kamila became a very polite girl.
"Mr, Setya also permits farewell, yes." Setya also said goodbye, and kissed Sumi's grandmother's hand.
"Thank you, Setya boy. Because of you, you've made Kamila happy." Nek Sumi rubbed the hair of Setya, who was kissing her already wrinkled hands.
After saying goodbye, Indri and Pak Wiguna walked out of Sumi's old house, escorted by Kamila to the front door.
While Setya who was still standing on the doorstep, again teased Kamila.
"Camila. Husband-to-be permission to leave, yes. Don't be naughty at home," he said to Camila's cheeks, and smiled ignorantly.
"Just wait, if it's mahrom. Hehe." Setya even chuckled amusedly at the look on Kamila's very adorable face, and again teased the thick-browed girl again.
"Stya, wait a minute. Come home. There are still many tasks you have to do. Don't you bother Kamila any longer. Let him rest." Mr. Wiguna who had come out of the yard of Kamila's house, called Setya who looked still standing in front of the door of Sumi's house.
"Tuh, it's been called Father. Go home," Kamila told Setya.
"All right, sweetheart. Take good care of yourself, yeah." Setya pulled the nose of Kamila bangir, then walked quickly following his father and mother.
And Kamila, only able to snort, was annoyed to find the behavior of the man who was soon to be her husband. Although, Kamila was not so sure, whether Setya would find her real mother and father.

While walking towards the house, Setya and his parents were visited by several mothers who seemed to be going shopping to the Bu Itah stall.
"Eh, Miss Indri, very neat, Mom. Where's it from?" Bu Rima, one of the Mothers, asked curiously at Ms. Indri.
"Yes, here. Mr. Wiguna and Setya are also very neat. Like there's an important event. But, I see, Miss Indri and the family, come out of the yard of Bu Sumi's house." Bu Sari was also curious, and searched for Indri bu with various questions, while glancing at his two friends who walked in tandem with Indri ma'am.
"Yes, Mothers. My family, just got out of Sumi's house." Ms. Indri began to answer one by one the questions of her neighbors, with a sweet smile on her graceful face.
"What's the point, anyway, ma'am?" ask Ms. Desi, who is now investigating.
"We propose to Buk's grandson Sumi-Kamila. To be our daughter-in-law, Mothers." Ms Indri explained to the villagers what made her come to Kamila's grandmother's house.
And of course, in response to the shock of the mothers, their mouths seemed round, and their eyes seemed to go out to hear the words of Indri.
"Well, that's lucky, Kamila. He is not highly educated. He was also born into a poor family. Father and Mother alone, not clear where. Fate is very good can get a husband like a child Bu Indri. Is Mom not ashamed, has a daughter-in-law whose origins are not clear? Better my son, Mrs Indri. Beautiful, and clearly its origin." Bu Rima looked slightly annoyed, and tilted her mouth slightly, hearing the news delivered by Bu Indri. Because, Miss Rima herself intends to bring her daughter closer to Setya.
Luckily, Setya had already walked some distance from the mothers. If not, then he will not hesitate to close the mouth of Miss Rima, who deliberately demonized Kamila.
"Well, it's okay, anyway, Miss Rima. Can't talk like that. Wrong, right, his parents, not Kamila. Kamila was a good boy and also a sholeha. He was also a diligent child, as well as very polite. Naturally, if Bu Indri chose him to be Setya's companion. I just want to make Kamila my daughter-in-law. But, it's the same first Ms. Indri. Right, Mom?" Ms. Desi chuckled at Ms. Indri, while dismissing the words thrown by the mouth of Bu Rima, who was known, was indeed a little sharp.
Ms. Desi, who has a son who is the same age as Setya, also feels that Kamila deserves to be a daughter-in-law.
"That's right, Miss Desi. I don't care about its origin. Most importantly, Kamila was an excellent girl, as well as virtuous. I have known him since childhood. There's no reason for me to refuse Setya's good intentions, to marry her." Bu Indri confirmed the words of Bu Desi, while still smiling at Bu Rima.
"Then I go first, yes, mothers. I want to start preparing the needs for my son's wedding" said Ms. Indri, turning towards her home. Beware of the mothers who had gone hand in hand with him.
"Oh, yes, please, Mrs Indri. We continue the road yes, going to the Bu Itah stall. Mari, ma'am," said Desi Bu kindly to Indri, while continuing his steps towards the end of the village, where Bu Itah sells.
While Miss Rima, looks just a fake smile at Ms. Indri. It seems that he is still upset, because Bu Indri has quickly married Setya to Kamila. In fact, he had fantasized, wanted to match Setya with his daughter.
