THE INCIDENT BEFORE THE WEDDING
Chapter 23
A few days later, Kala who had just returned home was seen parking his car. Sundari stood right waiting for Kala in front of the main door of his house, Kala came out of his car and immediately approached Sundari.
"For Ma'am?" Sapa Kala while hugging her mother, her mother's face looks different as if there is something her mother wants to convey to her.
"Where are you?" Ask Sundari.
"When returning from Depok Bu, two days ago Kala surveyed the location of the Project. It just so happened that there were a lot of problems there that required Kala to check on her own." Kala said as she walked with her mother, "Has Ninis gone to the hospital?" Ask Kala to her mother.
"Ninis did not come home for two days, he contacted his mother and claimed to sleep at his house. Why didn't Ninis tell you?" Ask Sundari.
When silent for a moment, he remembered that night he did not receive a voice call or even a video call from the figure of Ninis and it was probably what Ninis would tell him. Kala also showed an unusual face, as if confused in answering his mother's question.
"Indeed, you couldn't take a short call, thankfully your father-in-law told Mom that Ninis was safe with her. Or maybe you're fighting?" Sundari asked, Kala fell silent again. Then Sundari asked again, "Did Ninis make you angry?" At that moment, sitting in the family room immediately shook his head.
"We did not fight Mom, it happened that Kala did not bring a mobile phone charger that night, Kala had spoken that Kala would not go home and the next day Kala immediately gave a new mobile phone charger." Kala replied, "And as for Kala not contacting Ninis, Kala is very busy Ma'am." Kala added.
"Yes, I've been waiting for you in Mom's room." Sundari said to Kala, Kala nodded his head.
His heart beat so fast, somehow Sundari looks so tight on him and it makes Kala think that Sundari already knows what is going on.
Nani gives Kala a cup of warm tea, seeing Nani's whereabouts. Kala also gave Nani a question, "Bi Nani does not know where Camelia is at this time?" Nani shook her head, she looked so nervous.
"No-no, sir." Reply staggered. Kala tried to pay attention to Nani, "If Bi Nani knew, Bi Nani had met Mas. Aunty was very worried about Amel, especially Amel never went anywhere as long as Bi Nani knew." Connect Nani.
"That's exactly bi, Kala knew very well Amel never went anywhere. And Kala thinks someone's been helping her out." Said Kala, "When I find Amel Bi, I promise." Kala added.
Bi Nani nodded slowly, "Yes already went to Mom's room first huh." While carrying a glass of warm tea, Nani is silent and thinks that Kala is very worried about Camelia and Nani is eager to help Kala to meet Camelia, however, he remembers his promise to Camelia not to tell anyone about her whereabouts.
Arriving at Kala in his mother's room, Sundari who was standing right in front of the big window glass was aware of Kala's presence.
"Sit down Kala, I want to give you a question." Say it firmly.
As she sat on the sofa, her mother walked over to the chair where Kala was sitting. He stared fixedly at his son's face, "What is Mas's relationship with Amel?" Ask Sundari.
"What do you mean by relationship?" Kala asked her mother, "Mas doesn't understand Mom." Connect Kala.
Sundari returned from her seat, brought a brown envelope and gave it to Kala. When he opened the envelope, he was so surprised when he saw some photos of him with Camelia last time.
The photo was of her and Camelia secretly meeting in the back garden, and other photos showed Kala and Camelia in the compound's garden. Then, some photos show Camelia crying and Kala being seen hugging Camelia while calming Camelia down.
"Tell me why about the photo?" Sundari asked as she stared fixedly at the face of her only child, Kala lowered her head.
"Then.. Kala.. Confused Ma'am."
"Buddy?" Ask her mother back, this time the tone of her mother's question is so high.
Sundari shook her head, "Lantas where is Camelia currently?" Sundari asked, "You must be hiding Camelia right? Or have Camelia go." Reveal it with fleshy eyes.
Kala shook her head, "Oath in the name of God Mom, Kala does not know where Camelia is. Even when Amel left, Kala was on her way to America with Ninis." Sahut Kala with great confidence.
His mother said again, "Then what is going on? Someone has told me about this through an envelope with your pictures of Camelia and you have to explain this before the guy tells Ninis."
"Please explain everything honestly, I never taught you to lie to anyone." Reassuredly back.
When he was still silent, he did not know where to begin to explain everything that had happened. Kala was afraid that the mother would hate her when she found out what had happened and what Kala suspected about Camelia, "When, can you hear what I'm asking for right now?" Ask her mother back.
"When I was afraid that I was angry with Kala, Kala had disappointed Mom and everyone. It's the one who destroyed everything, ma'am." Sahut Kala while shedding tears, "Please don't hate Kala after I know everything!" Sundari looks turned his face, this time Sundari was really angry with what Kala had done
Sundari looked at Kala again, "Say or I will find out for myself and decide for myself what punishment I will give you!" The threat given by Sundari made Kala's heart tremble.
Kala's face was so red as to endure the shame and fear of his mother's anger, Sundari also pulled Kala's hand and asked her to tell him the truth immediately.
“Kala has done a bad thing to Camelia Bu, Camelia is completely innocent.” Reveal Kala while closing his eyes, “The incident was without Kala knowing, Kala please forgive Kala bu. Kala does not want to disappoint Mom and Ninis and Kala ask that Camelia forget it all. But when she left, she was pregnant with Kala.” Added.
Sundari's eyes widened as if not believing what was happening, Kala also told a very complete story to Sundari. Sundari does not believe what Kala says, according to him Camelia does want to tease Kala and Camelia wants to have Kala.
“Stop that shit Kala, I don't believe about it. Where maybe you are drunk and rob Camelia, Camelia did tease you and you were tempted by her.” Firmly Sundari, “Mother has said, take care of Camelia and never assume Camelia someone else for you. She's like your sister, you've accepted her temptation.” Connect Sundari who stays with what she thinks of Camelia.
“Kala told you honestly, ma'am, here Kala is guilty. Even Kala realized all this after Kala came home from the night Kala's bride was with Ninis, Kala realized that and Kala felt very sorry.” Tukas once again.
“Mom can't believe, you're just trying to protect Camelia. You've made Mom ashamed of Kala!” he shouted and it made Kala even more afraid to feel guilty because it made his mother angry, “Mom does not want you to look for the existence of Camelia, even if you know where she is, <TAG1>Mother does not want you to look for Camelia, Mom doesn't let you meet her.” Connect Sundari.
“Ninis is Mom's daughter-in-law and will forever be Mom's daughter-in-law, I will maintain your household without any problems. Remember, I do not approve of you with Camelia even if there is a child in the womb Camelia!” he shouted back, accidentally Sumiati heard that sentence. Sumiati who was about to approach Sundari because he had just got a package order Sundari was suddenly stopped his footsteps when he heard for the first time his employer was yelling at his only child, sumiati's heart ached when he heard Sundari say something bad to Camelia.
But Sumiati could not do anything, he chose not to continue his footsteps and chose to meet Nani and Asep to tell him what he had just heard.
His mother constantly threatened Kala not to do silly things that would make a marriage that was just the age of corn was destroyed. Kala nodded slowly, but his heart said as if ‘See Camelia and your child’ , He will still find where Camelia is.
Meanwhile, in a different place Camelia was sweeping her courtyard. Someone who is none other than Mother Alia approached him, “Siang Mel.”
“Siang Mother.” Reply Amel to Mother Alia who is also a Midwife in the village, “Let's enter Bunda.” Amel said he brought her into his house.
Alia was sitting on the sofa that was in the small house, “Mel, Mang Asep and Mama you we used to think like family. Incidentally, we are also always on good terms and Mang Asep has explained who you are and why you are here.” Alia.
“Bentar Mommy, Amel want to get mother water first.”
“Oh no need Mel.” Reject it at that time, “Delay only briefly kok.” Sahut Alia, 35-year-old woman is very good and mature. He knew well Sumiati, Asep, even the husband of his own lukewarm husband. And she was also very close to the late Mother Eny during her life, for her Mother Eny was a second mother when her mother died first.
Mother Alia also spoke again, “Bunda has spoken to the local Rt and Rw, he said, if they ask just say that you are the daughter-in-law of the late Mother Eny and her son who is also your husband is on duty outside the country. You were entrusted to me, never say anything other than that Mel.” Camelia nodded slowly, “I see you as if I saw Mother Eny,” Alia said as she shed her tears.
Camelia lowered her head, “However I was really hiding and I've hurt so much already, but I didn't intend to be that Mother. If I can choose, I don't want that night to happen. Honestly it made my life ruined and I don't know how to solve all this.” Camelia was sad.
Alia holds Camelia's hand, “You don't worry yes, I'll be ready to help whatever Mel. The child is not sinful, the child cannot bear anything. That child will strengthen you Mel, trust me.” Said Alia, the sentence that Alia conveyed a little made Amel feel calm.
“Next week there will be an examination at the village hall, because the tool in the clinic is not complete, you take the examination. Later I fill the form,” invite Alia, Camelia nodded her head sign He agreed to what Mother Alia said.
“About now how many weeks Mel?” Ask Alia.
Camelia replied, “It looks like it has entered 12 weeks Mother.”
“Wah is still very small, but you still like to vomit right?”
“It is precisely the Bun, very often and will not harm the fetus Amel?” Ask Amel.
Alia smiled, “No, many will eat the same vegetables fruit yes. Don't be stressed, let alone tired. You should rest a lot.” Sahut Mother Alia.
Camelia nodded slowly, “Good Mother, thanks for your attention yes.”
“Ya already Mommy home yes, Mommy has saved your number. later Mommy sends a text message so you can save your mother's number. And again, please do not hesitate to ask for any help to Mother. Let's just say Mother is your second mother here.” Camelia smiled, Alia hugged Camelia and immediately said goodbye to go home.
It just so happens that the distance of the house that Camelia lived in with Alia was only blocked by the separation wall and Alia only lived with her 15-year-old daughter, Such a kind Alia would be ready to help Camelia in giving birth to her child later.
