Camelia Rahma: You are my soul mate
Traumatized

An hour earlier, both Abra and Rafa, both wanted to go to Camelia's house. I don't know what happened to those two. Is it because last night they weren't satisfied talking to Camelia, so they wanted to go visit her house. That one question only the two of them could answer.

Like two different moods, Abra and Rafa drive their vehicles to Camelia's house. However, who arrived first in Camelia's yard was Rafa. Rafa also smiles, he used to tidy up a little before he got out of the car.

While Abra just arrived when Rafa was in front of the door Camelia's house. He saw that Rafa had raised his hand ready to knock him.

"Wait," cried Abra stopping the movement of Rafa's hand that was about to knock on the door. Rafa turned around, he glanced at Abra who was getting closer to him.

"What are you doing here?" ask Rafa.

"Here to meet Camelia. Don't tell me you came to see Camelia too" Abra pointed out.

"Why if you are, now is my time and Camelia's, because your time has passed a few years ago. So I suggest you just back off."

Abra smiled disdainfully, he had guessed that Rafa would definitely say this sooner or later. So, he was not surprised by Rafa's words. In fact, he just takes it for granted.

"Get me the same as you said, already there move aside."

Abra knocks on Camellia's door. Rafa, who did not want to lose, even knocked on the door, which instead made Mama Lia quickly open the door because she heard a knock that seemed impatient again.

Just now Mama Lia wanted to scold the person who knocked on her door so hard, so it stopped when she saw Abra, her son's old friend standing there.

"Son Abra! Aunty thinks who," said Mama Lia.

"Assalamualaikum tan, sorry to make a noise here," said Abra felt bad because of the actions of the two of them.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Mama Lia.

Just now that Abra wanted to shake Mama Lia's hand, Rafa stole the star first. Although Abra was the one who was known, he also did not want to lose in this matter.

"Tan, introduce me Rafa. Camelia's schoolmate, too," said Rafa thrusting her hand out to shake her hand.

Mama Lia is straddling, she now knows because her house was knocked so hard. Rafa who did not get a welcome, finally pulled his hand. He scratched his head which suddenly felt like being held.

"So, since you two don't get along, you're just venting the same auntie door, that's it!" mama Lia said making them silent for a moment.

"Sorry tan, we didn't accidentally" Abra said.

As for Rafa, just silently waiting for Abra alone to resolve this misunderstanding. Not that he is a coward, it's just that, he is afraid that if he speaks up, then their misunderstanding will be added runyam.

"Other times, if it's still like this, aunt won't accept you."

"Yes Tan, we promise."

"All right, come in."

When the two of them were in Camelia's guest room, they talked a little straightening up the incident at the door before Camelia arrived.

"Camelam, Camellia!" say they kompak.

"Waalaikumsalam, what do you need to do here?" camelia asked as she sat not far from them.

Abra and Rafa looked at each other, wanting to know which of them wanted to speak first. Because, they did not want the incident, now repeated in front of Camelia. It could be their image as a decent man, can be polluted.

"Abra, Rafa," call Camelia.

"That, you have free time tomorrow?I want to make sure you go somewhere" said Rafa took the first start from Abra.

"I actually have it, but it's the afternoon."

"All right, I'll come here tomorrow" Rafa said.

Now Camelia turned to see Abra who remained silent waiting for Camelia and Rafa's affairs to be finished.

"Abra, what do you need?"

"Oh that .. That I want to invite you to talk, but I see you are busy. So I'm coming tomorrow afternoon too" Abra said, not wanting Rafa and Camelia to be close.

"You guys why! You guys wanna come together again tomorrow?"

Two of them shook their heads.

"All right, we're done now. Which one of you got to my house first?" ask Camelia mediate.

"Me" said Rafa.

"Rafa" Abra confirmed.

"Then, it means Rafa has the first chance, you," Camelia points to Abra, "you're the next day" Camelia continues.

"Tomorrow afternoon? Not too late, Cam?" asked Abra who actually felt it was too late for him.

"All right, tomorrow afternoon. Then I'll go first. Assalamualaikum," said Abra pamit go home first.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Camelia and Rafa.

"Cam! I was also first. Tomorrow I come" said Rafa, returning shortly after Abra left Camelia's house.

As soon as the two of them, Camelia returned to her room to pick up her sling bag. Only then did he rush to his brownie shop.

He never thought he had just met the two of them yesterday, even today they came to Camelia's house. Said there was something to talk about. Inevitably camelia made them take turns to talk.Camelia shook her head, knowing the behavior of the two of them.

...***...

The next afternoon, as Camelia said, Rafa rushed to Camelia's house. He's glad he's not playing. She had no idea she would be the first person Camelia chose to talk to. If it wasn't for him being the first to arrive, I don't know if he would have been able to wait the next day or break through their deal.

"Assynolajet. Ca, I've come!" rafa said as she knocked on Camelia's door with a smile of her own.

"Waalaikumsalam, please come in, Raf," said Camelia who immediately opened the door.

Arriving at the guest room, Rafa begins to express the intention of his arrival to Camelia's house.

"What do you want to say?" camelia asked open the conversation.

"So, I want to make sure you watch a basketball game in the youth sports building. You like to play basketball anyway. So I want to take you there."

Rafa, who says the youth sports building, made Camelia so remembered the incident seven years ago. A very painful event broke his heart.

Seven years ago, Camelia was in front of a youth sports building. He also reached into his phone in the pocket of the jacket he was wearing. He wanted to visit Abra, invite her to play basketball together.

Camelia called Abra several times. However, his phone connection remained unplugged. When Camelia wanted to surrender, Abra called Camelia again. Camelia then, answered Abra's call.

"Assalamualaikum Cam, what's wrong?" ask Abra.

"Where are you Abra?" ask Camelia.

"A. .. Why am I at school?"

"Oh I guess at home all right, then I close first."

Camelia disconnects her phone with Abra and rushes into the building. In front of the entrance, Camelia was stunned to see Abra playing basketball with Delia.

Camelia reached into her cell phone and contacted Abra. Not long after, Camelia's call was received by Abra.

"Abra, is Kamj really in school? You're not lying to me? Nothing else to hide, right?" asked Camelia consecutively just to ensure Abra's honesty. 

"That's it, Cam. How could I have lied to you!"

"So, who are you there with?"

"I myself. Where are you now?"

"I ... I was. Yes, Ab. Assalamualaikum" said Camelia ended her conversation with Abra. He will be disappointed if he continues his conversation.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Abra astonished.

After Camelia and Abra's phone call ended, unexpectedly, Camelia's tears fell on her cheeks and for the first time she returned to shed her tears.

"Why should you lie to Abra?" camelia said disappointed in Abra who had lied to her.

First Abra said, if he was in school again, but in fact he was in a sports teenager. Both Camelia wanted to set the record straight, but Abra was still lying. Third Camelia once again wanted to straighten out. However, there was still something Abra was hiding. Lastly, Abra says he's alone again, but what is this! Abra is currently with Delia, teaching her to play basketball.

Who wouldn't be disappointed if they lied that much? There is no! Just like Camelia felt. Instead of growing disillusioned, Camelia rushed out of teenage sports to her bike leaving her original plans when she came to this place.

Camelia flinched as Rafa called her, "sorry Raf, I can't accompany you there" Camelia said

"Come on, Cam. When else can we watch basketball again" Rafa asks.

Camelia kept shaking her head, rejecting Rafa's invitation. "I'm sorry, I still can't."

"It's okay, but next time if I take it, we have to" said Rafa in the end can't persuade camelia again.

"Later to consider."
