Camelia waited for Abra the next day but Abra never showed herself either. Either he was busy or not because there was no news from Abra for Camelia. Even if he just texted her or something to say he couldn't come.
Camelia was bored and upset waiting for Abra who did not come. It was in vain that he took his time. If you know this, he will stay in the store.
To get rid of her sense of boredom and resentment, Camelia chose to play basketball again. Just this afternoon, for the first time, seven years ago Camelia was playing basketball again. Although a little stiff and forget how the technique plays, Camelia still continues the game.
Just imagine that seven years is not a short time. If time were like folding seven papers alone would definitely be close together. Let it slowly he will play and a little bit he will also remember the technique of playing. Maybe also by playing basketball Camelia can be a little forgotten about her frustration with Abra.
Sangking excited to play, Camelia to not realize that Papa Carel had been watching him. Papa Carel approached his son.
"Need another player? Papa's ready to be papa's girl's opponent" Papa Carel tries to offer himself up.
"Sure pa, come on," invited Camelia to accept a challenge from Papa Carel who used to be a basketball player legend.
Papa Carel began to enter the basketball arena. Papa said, "luck papa didn't turn this field into a park. Otherwise, we wouldn't be playing here."
Camelia was still bouncing the ball to the floor, so caught the ball. He looked at Papa. "Well, how do you really want to turn this field into a park?" camelia asked, not expecting her papa's words.
"Surely, papa used to plan to change it because papa thought no one would use this field again after you go son, but after thinking about it you can't bear to change all this. So, papa just leave it like this. How about we start the game. If you win papa will grant you one wish."
"Alright pa. Later Camelia think what Camelia's request. But if papa wins there is no yes, which was like that," said Camelia cengegesan.
"Whatever it may be, that's not fair his name, baby. We are now balanced. My dad has not played basketball for a long time. Papa promises nothing of the sort."
"Em okay, papa promise. Yes, let's get started. This time let Cam start," said Camelia who had started playing.
Papa and the boy were playing as if no burden was pressing on them. Mama Lia who also watched the match, did not forget to also provide snacks for her because she knew for sure this match would be long over. Moreover, those who compete are none other than papa and children who were school heroes first.
Most excited to watch the match, Mama Lia did not even hear the knocking sound that had sounded from the front door. Even Mama Lia was busy giving them both a boost. As it is happening right now.
"Let's go baby, don't lose to your papa. Spirit of spirit," cried Mama Lia give spirit to Camelia.
"Yes, pray for me to win. Later we who promise papa together," said back Camelia while continuing to bounce the ball. Trying to penetrate the defense of Papa Carel who from earlier had tried to snatch the ball from the hands of Camelia.
"Mama should support papa as well. Mama's husband, this loh," said Papa Carel, pretending not to accept that his wife even supports their child.
"Yes .. yes, papa is also spirit, but Cam is more spirit," said Mama Lia smiling at their behavior.
"If Papa wins, we'll both collect Cam's promise" Papa Carel said.
"Ih papa cheated, mama will support Camelia. Papa looking for another supporting dong," said Camelia did not accept.
"Cheatless love just take a chance," said Papa Carel chuckling with the same dimples as Camelia.
They are trying to be the winner of the game this time. No giving up on each other. They were like two people trying to calm each other down. But even so, among them no one played cheating or rough. Because they consider this is just a game that makes them closer and compact with each other.
"Come pa, spirit. Do not want to lose to your own child," said Camelia gave encouragement to her father who looks tired
"Yes ..you are also dear," replied Papa Carel.
The game again feels exciting when the points are back in a draw and the time is running low. For a moment they both laughed when they knew that they were a draw and certainly no one would give up.
"Let's get excited, 1 minute left, baby," shouted Mama Lia who transformed into an impromptu referee.
"Calm ma, papa will definitely win" said Papa Carel when the basketball was in his hands.
"It's not sure pa, not yet the time is over" said Camelia optimistically while continuing to try to seize the ball.
Until the remaining time is only twenty-five seconds, Camelia increasingly aggressively seized the ball from the hand of her father and his efforts were successful to pay off because Camelia managed to snatch the ball from her papa.
Camelia directs the ball into the ring to enter it so that he is the winner and get Papa's promise.
"Yeah .. alhamdulillah. Cam wins ... Cam wins. I won" Camelia said as she managed to get the ball into the ring, although the remaining few seconds were over.
Papa smiled seeing his daughter so happy. Papa then approached and grabbed his daughter's shoulder. "Good boy, you won. Papa is very proud of you," said Papa in the remnants of his energy.
"Thank you pa. Camelia is also proud to have Papa," Camelia said as she switched to hugging her papa.
"Eh, wait like you heard the door knock. Did you hear that too?" papa Carel asked to make sure that his hearing was not wrong.
"Yes pa. Camelia was horrified" replied Camelia.
Camelia, Mama Lia and Papa Carel rushed towards the front door. They wanted to see who had knocked on their door so loudly again.
The knocking of the door sounds more certain. Just as Camelia opened the door, Camelia was shocked when suddenly a girl ran to hug her with a dummy in her hand.
"Assalamualaikum mother" said a girl in a pink hijab.
"Waalaikumsalam, Honey!"
