PALOMAS
Chapter 6 Paloma
Today is a world day of heartbreak because Jacob Darens has found the moorings of his heart. The lucky woman is Paloma Halley Makarim, a famous model, American-lndonesian crossbreed, who has many fans.
Last night they had been caught on camera eating at Vegans' restaurant and, even more frenzied, Jacob broke into Paloma's apartment.
Did Paloma tease Jacob?? write all the print and online media cornered Paloma.
Today everyone is talking about Paloma, Paloma and Jacob trending on twitter.
Meanwhile, Paloma was still sleeping. But from 6 am the phone is unrelenting - the stop is ringing.
"What the hell is this, I'm still sleepy." murmured Paloma in annoyance.
His hands searched - looking for his phone on the table then after finding it, he rubbed his eyes while staring at the phone screen.
Missed calls from her grandmother 20x, from her father 17x and from christina 35x.
Paloma saw the incoming message from Christina.
"Angkatt!!! Didn't you read the news this morning? What are you doing with Jacobbbb??? " wrote Christina in a panic.
Paloma opens - open online news on his phone.
"Fucking reporters..! What does the title they write mean? Why are they corrupting me?" murmured Paloma furiously.
My grandmother and father would be furious with me. What should I say to them? Paloma thought hard.
He wrote a message to his grandmother and father.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm 20 years old, I can take care of myself and I won't let you down. It was just cheap gossip." Paloma wrote.
Paloma went into the bathroom, she wanted to soak in the bath up. Paloma poured the bubble bath into almost full warm water. He felt tired due to the effects of sleep deprivation last night and the morning - there was already a commotion.
The clock shows at 8 am. He was getting ready to go to college. Next week Paloma will graduate to obtain his bachelor's degree.
Paloma passed the thesis exam with an A and he was proud of himself.
This week Paloma must continue to be present on campus because there will be clean gladi. His father will not accompany him at graduation, because his father is in Bali with his grandmother.
Paloma arrived at the college, although in fact he did not want to come to the campus.
Just getting out of the car, Christina called him.
"Paloma where are you?" ask Christina.
"I was on campus, now there's a clean gladi for my graduation" Paloma said.
"Today you don't have to go to a clean rehearsal, wait until tomorrow, so the reporters don't come after you. Jacob today will be clarifying on the matter last night" Christina explained.
"Alright, then I'll go back to the apartment" Paloma said.
Arriving at the apartment, her grandmother called.
"Paloma, can you explain what happened? Grandma was very worried." said her grandmother.
"Grandmother, nothing happened - what, journalists just exaggerate - exaggerate. Between me and Jacob is just a friend" Paloma said in self-defense.
"Paloma, you have to remember, you've made a marriage with your cousin, don't make your grandmother and father disappointed." continued his grandmother.
"Alright grandma, I'll remember grandmother's message. Grandma's message is embedded in my head." said Paloma.
"Remember Paloma, one day you have to go to Bali, you will meet your soul mate" said his grandmother again.
Actually Paloma is not ready to meet his soul mate. Who's soul mate?? ask Paloma in the heart.
Paloma lay down on the bed, she thought about today's events and her grandmother's words, about her distant soul mate.
He must be a man who only targets the Makarim family property or a stupid man. Because only stupid men want to be paired with people he never knew, grumbled Paloma in the heart.
Paloma did not understand what exactly his grandmother's purpose was to match him. Paloma was very upset, he did not know the cousin who became his soul mate. As Paloma remembered, his grandmother only had 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren, 4 men and 1 woman, Paloma.
Aunty Paloma each has 2 sons, only his mother has a daughter.
Ever since Paloma went with his father, his relationship with his two tants has been almost non-existent. Even if the aunt calls, just to talk to her dad.
Several times his grandmother offered to take Paloma to Bali, although the Balinese kangen but there was a feeling of fear and sadness. There Paloma will always remember his mother.
It is believed that he was 7 years old when his mother died suddenly in an accident. She hugged her mother's body while crying and her grandmother passed out many times.
Every time he remembered the incident, there were no tears Paloma dripped. A very bitter past.
Paloma closed his eyes, today he did not want to meet anyone, suddenly his phone rang again.
"Argghhh... Who the hell is bothering me again?" he screamed while taking a cell phone.
It turned out that Jacob called and Paloma picked him up.
"Hallo, how are you Paloma? Are you okay??" ask Jacob to worry.
"My condition is bad. I'm sorry I took you to my apartment last night. It turns out where - where there are journalists. All my family in Bali are worried because of this incident" Paloma said.
"Calm down, today I've had a press conference, so that we don't become the subject of gossip, don't be sad, I said.." before Jacob finished his sentence, Paloma cut in an annoyed tone.
"I already know!!" paloma Sahut
"Why before the press conference did you not ask me? Your actions are too rash, I have to keep my family's good name, I don't want to hurt the feelings of my extended family especially my grandmother." Paloma continued in an annoyed tone.
"Forget the incident yesterday, I don't remember anymore, I don't want to continue with you anymore, our relationship is enough here" Paloma continued to talk without giving Jacob a chance.
Jacob listened to Paloma, his heart ached, why did Paloma play with his feelings, did Paloma not like him? thought Jacob.
As he was about to speak, Paloma hung up the phone, Jacob did not understand why Paloma could change overnight.
Jacob loved Paloma very much at first sight, although their encounter was very brief, but this time Jacob was very serious.
Jacob ran to the parking lot to get the car. He could not stay silent, he wanted to hear an explanation from Paloma. Whatever happens he has to meet with Paloma today.
Arriving in front of Paloma's apartment, 2 security stops Jacob and he is not allowed to enter.
"I'm Jacob, Paloma's friend, yesterday I came here, did you forget?" said Jacob.
"Paloma does not allow anyone to meet him today, without exception" said one security officer.
"Paloma asked me to come here, he needed a friend to confide in" Jacob said.
Security tries to call Paloma but is inactive, and they look at Jacob.
"I'm a famous actor. I will not commit a crime. Allow me to meet with Paloma." Jacob said in a reassuring tone.
Doubtfully, the two security guards finally allowed Jacob into the apartment.
