Camelia Rahma: You are my soul mate
Mama Atha's Concern
"Sabila Maiden?"
"Yes, Carissa accidentally saw him in a dress shop. But by the time we got there, Sabila was gone."
"Ab,"
"Hem."
"I hung up on you!"
Just now Abra was about to ask, why Camelia wanted to hang up the phone, their phone connection was cut off first.
"Mbak Cam's. Why mom?" riana asked who found Camelia just silent looking at her phone.
"He's come, Ri!" camelia.
"Who, ma'am?" sari asked who emerged from the kitchen because she heard the voice of Camelia who was so happy.
"Mother Carissa, Sister Sabila, Sar. He's in town."
"An ex-wife, is Atha?" ask Riana to make sure.
Sari who saw the change in face Camelia just turned to Riana and gave her a code that Riana had spoken wrongly. Knowing that she was wrong, Rania shut her mouth.
"Ouch, sorry. I let go of the talk, "he whispered to Sari.
"That's it, it's all happened" he replied. Sari then switched to Rania. "Emm, mum. If so I go back first, want to check the brownies again."
"A .. I'm also mbak, want to go ahead first. Who knows if there's a buyer."
"Hem."
Both Camelia employees returned to their jobs. Unlike him, he still sits quietly looking at the phone he just turned off. He doesn't know what to do.
Whether after learning that Sabila has returned, then his match with Atha will be canceled or even accelerated. He could not have expected it. The reason, the appearance of Sabila so suddenly. Moreover, he appeared when his match with Atha was already in the stage of conversation between the two families.
What will he tell his parents when they find out that Carissa's mother is in the same town as them?
Ah, all that stuff just gives Camelia a headache. Does their match have to be this complicated?
***
Just like Camelia, both of Atha's parents are shocked to hear Atha's words on their cell phone saying that Carissa has seen her real mother.
Who is not surprised, try it! When the woman who had no news for years, now suddenly appeared before everyone? And worse, the figure who had no news for many years, as if he had no memory of having a child who had missed him so much! Ah, let alone the child, he seemed to forget that he ever had the figure of a man he loved so much.
What is the point of him showing himself if he does not want to meet his only child even if only once? What's the point of being in the same town if he doesn't want to say hello for a while? Is it because he was intentionally showing himself?
Although various questions alighted in the heads of both of Atha's parents, the annoyance of Mama Atha could not be denied anymore.
"Woman, why would you show up at a time like this?" grouse mama Atha. "Better he never comes again."
"Ma, relax."
"Mama can not calm down if she suddenly appears like this," said mama. "Mama doesn't want our son's arranged marriage to be void because of him. Both Atha and Carissa's lives are well-ordered, but the woman appears again. Pa, you don't want Atha to feel sad again like years ago" Mama explained. "Papa knows, right. How were our children and grandchildren when the woman left them?"
"Papa knows, but ma. I remember they were not officially divorced. They've never been to court."
"Anyways, they can't be together anymore. Do you have no pity for our grandchildren? Pa, he should have realized he still had a kid. If he doesn't want to see Atha, it doesn't matter. But if he doesn't want to meet Carissa for a while, mama thinks he's gone too far. Is there a mother like her!"
"Anyways, tomorrow we have to go to Camelia's house to discuss our son's continued matchmaking! Mama doesn't want to give that woman a chance to get into our family life again, let alone the lives of Atha and Carissa!" resolute mom.
"Ma, isn't that too sudden?" papa said. "Or put it this way, tomorrow we leave, but the day after tomorrow we go to Camelia's house. Let's tell them over the phone first, let them not be surprised later."
"All right, mom agrees. Then, mama clean up the clothes you want to bring first. Mama won't wait for tomorrow."
"Just as for mom."
Mama also went into the room to prepare the clothes that they would bring during the trip to Bandung. My mom made so many clothes. Papa who followed after mom to the room was surprised to be made.
"Ma, why are you carrying so many clothes."
"Mama plans to stay until our son's wedding is done, pa."
"Ma, mama doesn't need to be like that either. Later instead of bringing a happy situation, it becomes the opposite."
"What the hell, anyway."
"I mean papa, if our son's engagement has been done, we'll come back here first. Anyway, papa there's still work here. If we stay there for a long time, who's gonna stop the work here?"
Mama was silent, she seemed unable to answer papa's detailed question.
"If indeed they were a match, even if Sabila's son appeared, it would have no effect on their lives."
"Alright, mama follow the word papa," said mama made papa smile.
Mama put some clothes back in the closet with help from papa.
***
The next day, as mama and papa Atha said, they went to Bandung to further discuss the matchmaking of their child. In any case, Atha's mother will not let Sabila into the lives of her children and grandchildren again.
It was enough time that he was lulled by Sabila's false tenderness. Right now, he would not be fooled anymore, even though Sabila would say an apology a thousand times to him.
Ah, if only he had not lost the persuasion of Atha and approved of their relationship, surely such a situation would have never happened. But, even if the word is no longer useful. You can only forget what you made in the past.
"Pa, bring the car a bit flatten dong, later we miss the plane."
"Ma, mom! Even we got to the airport very quickly. The flight is still two hours away."
"Duh, papa. The sooner the better. I don't want us to be late."
"Yes, ma. Aye." Yeah."
Papa also added a little speed his car to the airport because that way, his wife will be a little calmer.

Camelia choked on her tea it's time for mama to say something she's been avoiding for the past few hours.
