Camelia Rahma: You are my soul mate
The Future of Abra

Abra has now been in the family room with papa and mama who have been there since. Abra squeezes her fingers as she suspects that this unusual family gathering is a meeting to discuss her matchmaking.

"Do you remember our conversation the other day?" ask Papa Fauzi.

"Yes pa, Abra still remembers."

"Today, papa will take you to Mr. Samuel's house to go discuss your arranged marriage with his son. You get ready from now on. Take your time for that."

"Pa, Abra doesn't want this matchmaking to happen. Abra can still choose women for the future of Abra without papa and mama mate. Do you and your mom feel like Abra can't find the right woman? If that's what mom and dad are worried about, mom and dad are wrong."

"It's not like that we mean, just follow this matchmaking. You said that before, but until now there has been no result. Look, you're almost three heads in your age. But there's not a single woman you've introduced us to. Wanna see mom and dad never get married, all right?" mama Rania said, making Abra switch to see it.

"Ma .. is not like that either. Abra knew Abra never introduced you to a woman, but Abra did not necessarily have the will to marry. Especially interest in a woman."

"Papa tau, for that first meeting. Who knows, you might change your mind. Who knows!" papa's advice.

"Until any time, Abra won't change his mind."

Papa smiled imposingly, papa then stood up. "Alright, that's all you want to say. Wednesday, take your time" Papa Fauzi said before leaving Abra, unable to refute his words.

"Ma .. mama kok even support papa anyway, mama will know that Abra .. if Abra ...."

"If what? If you don't want to get married?"

"Ngga. It's just Abra ...."

"Old! Mama's going. Follow me first said papa, let behind her mama's business," said Mama Rania after waiting for a long answer Abra.

As for papa and mama, Abra squeezed her hair. Although he had expected it, he did not think at all that mama even supported papa in this matter.

His future is getting more complicated. Is it because he likes to delay good things? But if that's the case, he just wants to make Camelia feel comfortable with him. Only then will he come forward and come to his house. Ask Camelia's parents.

Abra rubbed his head, bowed down regretting his late actions. "hufft ... What circumstances is this? I'm even trapped inside!"

Abra passed from there. He stepped foot into the room. He wants to clean himself up quickly. As she was about to turn the doorknob, she realized how Camelia would react later when she found out that she would be betrothed. Abra sighed as she tried to think about Camelia's reaction.

"Why is it so complicated!"

Amidst Abra's growing complexity, Camelia feels very happy to stay another day, she will be satisfied to see Carissa, the child she has considered her own child. He felt that his days would be more colorful with his arrival.

Initially, in recent days he had the intention to go to Semarang. Go to Carissa and ask Atha for permission to take Carissa with her. However, it was unexpected that this good thing happened without her guessing. Camelia was very grateful for that. The longing that initially accumulates, can now finally erode often over time in the future.

Mama who saw the face of Camelia who was increasingly smiling, made her curious. Mama Lia then went to her son who was playing the swing.

"Ehem, can you sit down?"

Camelia looked up at the mama who was currently standing in front of her. Camelia smiled and let her sit next to her. "Yes ma, I can."

"Honey, seeing your radiant face looks like there will be good news that will be in the near future" said Mama Lia.

Camelia turned to look at the mother who was now also smiling. "Yes ma. Mas Atha and Carissa will be staying in Bandung in the near future."

"Son Atha moved to work?"

"Ngga ma, Mas Atha got a promotion at his workplace. So he was transferred here."

"Thank God then. Means mama can spend more time for mama's grandchildren."

Mama immediately fell silent, when she unconsciously said the word granddaughter. Of course, as a parent who has a daughter who has grown up, he certainly wants to immediately propose his own grandson, but as a parent too, he does not want to force his will on the child. Let his son's private life, he alone lives. His job is to watch and guide.

Mama Lia switched back to looking at Camelia and cleared her throat, hoping that her voice could sound relaxed in Camelia's ears.

"When did they arrive? Let mama prepare something."

"Lusa ma, maybe they arrived late in the afternoon" Camelia said.

"If so, mama is ready to go to the market to buy food ingredients. Let's see when Carissa comes, she's happy that mama made her favorite meal."

"Yes ma, Camelia will help mama make food for them."

"All right, mama's going first. Don't stay here too long. You'll catch a cold."

"Yes ma, let's get Camelia in."

Mama also left Camelia who still wanted to enjoy the cool air that blew from the blemishes of trees and flowers that had been planted.

After getting ready, Mama Lia went to the market on her matic motorcycle. Arriving there, Mama Lia just went to her subscription store.

Seriously buying ingredients, Mama Lia until unconscious when a woman her child's age has said hello to her. Mama Lia only realized when the woman repeated her greeting again.

"Assynolt, tan."

"Eh, waalaikumsalam. Sorry who's son?" asked Mama Lia who did not know the woman in front of him.

"I'm Delia, tan. High school friend Camelia."

"Oh, son Delia. Sorry aunt forgot. Age factor."

"Papa kok tan. Delia understands. Oh yeah, Camelia came here too?"

"Well, Camelia at home was resting because this morning had finished playing the same sport as Abra."

"Olah .. raga," parrot Delia.

"Yes, so don't go shopping. Who's Delia's son here?"

"Alone too tan. Tan, if that's Delia there first, assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

Delia left behind Mama Lia who was again busy looking for her necessary ingredients. Honestly, his heart immediately hurt to hear Mama Lia's words just now. He then hit his chest which was a little painful.

How not, the man he wants to be paired with still goes to meet other women. Especially the matchday they just count the days. Did Abra not think about her feelings?

It could have been selfish and even he could have canceled this match, but if things became like that it would make him even more sick and he did not want it to happen. Enough all this time he held back his feelings. Furthermore, no matter what happens, he will still try to make his match with Abra go smoothly.

Thinking about it, made Delia have an idea that could realize her dream. He smiled and rushed to find the materials he needed again.
