Camelia Rahma: You are my soul mate
Don't Make Me Expect More

Abra just got home from work at night. In spite of his exhaustion, he went straight into the room. Regardless of the call Bella who invited him to eat brownies with mom and dad in front of the tv.

Arriving in the room, he immediately threw himself in bed without changing his office clothes first. Even his shoes have not been taken off. Just as his eyes were about to close, the sound of knocking on the door made him have to wake up. He opened his shoes before opening the door.

"Mama! What's up, ma?" abra asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Loh, I haven't changed clothes yet, anyway!" mama Rania said when she found Abra with a disheveled appearance.

"Later Abra change, ma. Abra promised after a short nap, Abra's got to get changed."

"Udah change there. I met my mom and dad in front of the tv. Big but still a kid."

"Abra is sleepy, Ma. Later, yes," he said slowly with the vapor that came out of his mouth. Abra then closed it with his hand.

"Mom's got brownies, don't you want to?" persuade Mama Rania.

"Tomorrow ma. Abra was so sleepy. There was a lot of work at the office as well, so Abra did not take a break even for a while," said Abra so Mama Rania understood.

"Yes, yeah. It's there. Rest, but do not forget to clean yourself first just slept. Do not wait carefully, ntar overslept until morning," said Mama Rania while rubbing the child's head.

"Yes, Ma."

Abra closed the door to her room. When he wanted to go back to sleep again, he remembered the message of his mother to clean up first. With the remnants of energy, Abra went into the bathroom and cleaned himself.

While Mama Rania back to the front of the tv enjoying brownies with her husband and youngest child.

"Ma, what brother?" ask Bella after Mama Rania sits down.

"Your sister is tired. He said he wanted a quick rest" said Mama Rania.

"Try on, brother has a wife. There's gotta be something going on" Bella said.

"Yes, Pa! What if our son gets married soon? After all, the age has died to build a household," said Mama Rania immediately turned to the husband who still enjoys brownies.

Papa Fauzi immediately choked on hearing Mama Rania's words.

"Pelan-pelan dong pa, eat it," said Mama Rania while thrusting water on Papa Fauzi.

"Thank you, Ma."

"Pa, what do you think of our son's wedding plans?" mama asked Rania enthusiastically, while Bella saw Papa and Mama alternately. He wondered what his brother's future plans would be.

Because long time no words came out of the lips of his parents, Bella suddenly blabbed, "Wouldn't Abra's brother be betrothed? Besides, I don't know, Abra's sister has a boyfriend. Never, Ma, Pa. Brother said the same Bella. He said dating wasn't in his dictionary before marriage" Bella Cengegesan said.

Thinking her brother will be betrothed to the woman she met this morning with her mom, makes Bella smile. He wished more on the veiled woman.

"Yes, Pa. We should not just choose Abra the candidate," said Mama Rania added enthusiastically when considering how happy Abra if the woman he wants to marry is a woman he knows.

"Yes, papa agrees. Mama set it up" said Papa Fauzi.

Mama immediately hugged and kissed Papa Fauzi's cheek accompanied by the shrill cry of Bella.

"Father, Mama. Don't be here dong making out. Kan, Bella is also here," said Bella closed her eyes with both hands.

"Little children, usually not so," grumbled Mama Rania.

"Ma, enter the room yuk," said Papa.

"Ih, Papa," cried Bella as she threw the sofa cushion.

Papa and Mama Rania laugh because it managed to make Bella upset.

"You're kidding me, son." Papa approaches Bella and sits next to her while stroking Bella's head dear.

"After the film runs out, go straight to the room, do not stay up late and not good for health," Papa said before inviting Mama into the room to sleep.

"Yes, Pa," said Bella.

Papa and Mama also entered the room leaving Bella who was still faithful to watch her favorite movie on private television broadcasts.

...***...

Abra wakes up in the middle of the night. He also moved down from the bed. As he gathered consciousness, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked briefly at the wall clock that had shown at two in the morning. Afterwards, he passed towards the bathroom taking ablution water.

Finished ablution, he passed out of the bathroom to the dressing room. He also changed his sleepwear with a cocoa shirt and a sarong. And do not forget also the peci that has now been attached to his head covering his hair that is slightly wet by ablution water. His title has also been attached.

He now began to pray two rakaats in the last third of the night. That prayer if a person prays, then his prayer is like a bow of arrows hitting the target. He prayed so calmly as if no fatigue had been felt just a few hours ago.

A few minutes later, he turned his face to the right and to the left with a greeting. While rubbing his face, he said Istighfar three times. He always said it just in case there was anything less than his prayer.

His hand now looked up to ask the Almighty for prayer. The prayer he always prayed when he woke up to pray tahajjud.

In other places, it is seen that the prayer woman has just folded her face and the cool that she wears when doing her habit in a third of the night.

His hair was straight as waist he now let loose. Swinging back and forth as he walked towards the closet to store the prayer equipment he had used. Everything he has finished. He returned to bed to continue his dream.

The morning after the dawn prayer, the waist-haired woman had been struggling in the kitchen. Make breakfast for himself and his parents. It was all done when my mom and dad arrived at the dinner table.

"Well, why don't you tell mama?"

"Cam's cooking alone, Ma. It also cooked everything. We're eating now?"

"Ma, pa," call Camelia after breakfast.

"Yes, son," answered Camelia's parents.

"Ma, pa. Maybe Camelia's not coming home tonight because Camelia wants to finish the buyer's order that's going to be taken tomorrow afternoon."

"Papa not allow. You can't stay there. Papa used to let you brownie business because papa wants you to be happy, son. But, if this is the case, papa will prohibit you from selling from now on. Besides with papa's salary, papa can still support you," forbid Papa.

As a parent, she wants her child to be safe. Camelia was the only child for them.

"Pa ..., Camelia promised, this time only. Want yes, want yes," persuaded Camelia who has now wrestled spoiled to her papa.

"Ma, Cam's equal number. Papa won't agree."

"Pa, Mama believes in our son. He can take care of himself."

Mama who believes that Camelia can take care of herself and keep the promise also supports the decision of the child.

"Ma, Cam girl," said Papa did not think, it turns out that his wife instead participated in supporting their son's decision.

"After all, Cam promised, Pa. So give him permission yes," persuaded Mama back.

"Okay, this is the first and last."

Camelia immediately hugged her Papa and thanked him for being allowed.

"Alright, Cam clean up first. And so, Cam went to the store," Camelia said before busy returning with home activities.

Camelia deftly cleaned the entire house. Starting from washing dishes, sweeping, mopping to watering the ornamental plants. Only then did Camelia get ready to head to the store.

By driving her favorite car, Camelia drove it. Split the already crowded streets with other riders.

Camelia had just arrived at the store when Mama Rania and Bella arrived. Camelia approached Mama Rania and kissed her hand.

"Aunty's license is it, Son Cam?" ask Mama Rania.

"Udah, Tan. Camelia get it first. Oh, aye. Auntie, Bella please sit down."

Camelia walked into the store to get the order Mama Rania made yesterday. Just now that he had entered, Riana was standing in front of him.

"Mr Cam, don't you really have a relationship with that mother?" riana asked who was now following Camelia from behind.

"Truly! That mother, Mother, Mother Ma'am."

Riana must have been, "Mbak Cam must have been so happy that she became Cam's mother-in-law" Riana said, making Camelia secretly smile.

"Udah, don't make Mbak expect more" Elak Camelia.

In his heart, if his relationship with Abra will not be as warm as before, when they are still sitting on the bench. He did not want to be disappointed a second time. This time, he would really think of Abra as just a friend, nothing more.

"Mom, Cam Ma'am?" call Riana when the woman she has considered this sister is just silent.

"Ah, yes. I brought you Aunt Rania's order first."

Camelia leaves Riana who grumbles at her stupid words. Coming out of the shop, Camelia frowned in surprise at the man who had just perched in her heart.

"Abra, are you here too?"

"Oh, yes Cam. I'm here to buy your brownies" Abra said.

"The reason, last night invited to eat brownies do not want. It turns out that you have a plan to come here," Bella's chirps make Abra look at her and give her an eye code to stop talking.

"That's because last night big brother soybeans really, so not to get together," elak Abra who has now sat next to Mama Rania.

"This is an aunt's order" said Camelia while giving Mama Rania's order.

"Thank you, son."

Camelia nodded. He now turned to see brothers and sisters who were still looking at each other, like no one wanted to give up.

"Ab, how much are you going to buy?" ask Camelia.

"Two boxes, Cam."

Once Camelia felt far enough away, Abra began to speak up.

"Dude, Bella. You already know the purpose of your brother, but still ask. Look, Camelia is now so clumsy" Abra grumbled.

"It's been, it's been," leerai Mama Rania.

"Eat him brother, lamar brother Cam. It will be taken by people!" bella said making someone from behind them gasp in shock.
