THE INCIDENT BEFORE THE WEDDING
Chapter 20's
In a fork that connects the road to the traditional Market night and the road to the Toll Road to visit Camelia it makes the place where Asep waiting for Kala to pass through him, Nani stared at the screen of his phone. Previously Nani got a message from Soldier who was none other than the son of Asep who said that Kala caught his departure, Kala, Asep also twisted the plan to wait for Kala to pass through the streets and he did not forget to ask his friends to replace him in his master's orders without them knowing. Asep and Nani who had promised to meet Camelia also hoped that Kala would not follow her, because all of this was in Camelia's desire.
Asep saw Kala's vehicle passing through the street where Asep was hiding, and immediately Asep turned his vehicle to re-enter the highway connecting the city with the city where Camelia lived and that means Asep managed to outwit Kala.
Asep's phone rang, he saw Kala trying to contact him and Asep accidentally did not receive the call.
“Later tomorrow if Mas Kala Ask how?”
Asep also rewired his brain to get a reason that is very diacal.
“Say that our phone missed at home.” Asep said, “We only deliver the ingredients we have bought for Camelia. Tomorrow I can ask the next-door neighbor who used to be near Bu Eny to take Camelia to buy a stove and other tools. Such items are already very unfit for Camelia to wear.” Connect Asep.
“This is for sure they won't know Kang?” Ask Nani.
Asep nodded his head, “All this will be stored like me who is always asked to hide the existence of Bu Eny.” Sahut Asep, “Keep, Bu Eny has trained me since I was young.” Connect Asep.
“And this happened again, but the difference is that Mr. Barata knows where Bu Eny and Bu Sun are who want this. While Mas Kala, Mbak Ninis and Amel are very secret.” Asep is back.
“I just follow my heart Kang, I love Camelia.” Nani said, and Asep felt the same way.
The journey from the Sundari House to Eny's old house is about 2 hours long journey, Sampurna they are right in the house. Asep came out with the items he had stocked before, Amel who realized the arrival of Asep and Nani immediately opened the door. Amel hugged Nani tightly, “You're fine here Mel?” Ask Nani.
Camelia tried to hide her crying, “Iya Bi, Amel is good here. Amel has been very troublesome Aunt Mang Asep.” Nani and Asep wrote that sentence.
“Not at all Mel, oh Yes this is rice and other basic food. Mang Asep deliberately bought all of this for one week, fearing decay. The refrigerator can still be used, let Mang Asep check yes.” Camelia smiled at this, remembering how she had cleaned the refrigerator.
“Amel has cleaned Mang Asep even though at least made Amel vomit. But the refrigerator that has been 16 years unused is still very good,” explained Amel.
“Wah, Mang Asep banggadeh with Amel. Amel is very independent.” Praise Asep for it.
Nani also rubbed Amel's cheeks, “Ya, Nani's grandson is healthy right. The strong yes son, do not trouble your mama.” Nani said as she unceasingly rubbed Camelia's stomach.
“But Amel's stomach is not yet big ya bi, it's just his nausea is too often.” Nani laughs at Amel's innocent behavior, Nani embraces Amel and takes him to sit on the sofa that is nearby.
“This baby makes Amel nauseous? It was a sign that he was very active to fight with Amel. This baby will be born and become a protector for Amel.” Nani.
Hearing this, Nani laughed and Amel was comforted.
Asep and Nani can't stay there for long, he's afraid that Kala is waiting for him to come home. Asep also said goodbye to Camelia and asked Camelia to take good care of herself, “Mang Asep has told Mother Alia the child of friend Bu Eny to accompany you, her house is right next to this.” Asep said, Camelia nodded. She knew very well Mother Alia was a midwife in the village, and several times Alia always greeted Amel when Amel swept the house.
“Iya Mang Asep, thank you for seeing Amel at night. Bi Nani too, Thanks ya.” Nani hugs Camelia, as well as Asep who also gives a small hug to the girl he already considers like his daughter. Camelia entered the house again, she saw some items that had not been arranged by Asep or Nani. When he saw a black box, he opened it.
A diary that had been lost that he found in the box, then a reply letter given by his mother indicates that Asep had spoken to his mother.
Yes, at that time, Sumiati's heart said that Asep had a big part in Camelia's departure. Sumiati urged Asep to be honest and Sumiati promised not to say anything to Kala or Sundari, Asep told the truth and Sumiati felt calmer. Camelia opened the letter, “Thy for Camelia Mother's beloved daughter, I know something bad is happening to you. I'm not angry not even a little hate yourself Mother's favorite daughter, I just want to thank you because you've been willing to sacrifice for the integrity of love in this house. I fully support what you do, I hope you live safely even if you are away from Mom. Son, your spirit will raise the fetus is infected with Mother who some days sick at the thought of you. But Asep reassured mother that you are a strong woman, she said, Mother entrust this love to the granddaughter of the mother you now bear. May the mother's prayer always be with you, I love you very much and hope we can meet in another day. Signed, Ms. Sum who Amel loves.” His tears fell irregularly while reading the message, his heart seemed to be slashed when one sentence was read by him.
“Bu, Forgive Amel. Sorry if Amel has made Mother sad until she fell ill. Amel was wrong not to think of mother, but Amel would hurt Mother more when this truth was blown in Mother Sun's ears.and Mother Sun would hate Amel as well as Mother, and Mother Sun would hate Amel, Amel didn't want that to happen.” He hugged a letter that his mother had tucked inside the black box.
The memory of the figure of his mother was clearly flashed in his memory, the face of his mother who smiled radiantly made him so miss the figure of his mother, his warm embrace was as if there was with her at this time. “Mother...Amel really misses Mom..”.
~OooooO~
Several hours passed, and Asep was seen parking the car. The clock has shown at 4 am, Kala approached her and asked, “Mang Asep where is Bi Nani?” from this question Asep had expected Kala to give him as well as Nani, fortunately, the friend who replaced Asep to shop was kindly waiting for the arrival of Asep and Asep certainly had an answer to that.
“Mang Asep was to the Traditional Market in the usual place, uh the items you want Empty. Finally Mang Asep looking elsewhere, so kasian Bi Nani to fall asleep in the car.” The answer.
Asep trying not to be nervous, “Mas Kala not yet asleep?” As Asep asked, Nani realized Mas Kala's whereabouts. He also immediately came out and tried not to be nervous too, “Nani continued to sleep, let akang clear his groceries.”
Kala also invited Nani to enter, he was still silent while watching the gurgle of the driver. Then asked again, “Kala has not slept Mang, deliberately waiting for Asep and Bi Nani. Oh Yes, buy anything Mang?”
“Many Mas, if the wet materials will be sent at 9 am.” Asep said, Kala nodded. He saw no sign of Asep lying or covering something up from him.
“Ya done it, Kala came in Mang.” Kala.
“Good Mas please.” Asep answered with a smile on his cheek.
Kala went into his house and Asep returned to clean up the items that had been stored in the back of his car, “Lucky I was not nervous.” Asep said in his heart.
Kala does not believe that easy, Kala intends to pay the person who will be in charge to follow wherever Asep goes and Kala hopes if he finds a clue about the whereabouts of Camelia.
