Carmen's Love Trap
The Manja Carmen

"The handsome guy over there is the best guy in my life. The man who always accompanied me when happy and sad. The man I love so much and love me so much" I re-ordered my breathing and my voice. "Tonight allow me to propose to the handsome man to be the husband I love so much, to be the place where I lean and spend my life lovingly and affectionately."

The Flaschback

Carmen

The knock on the door woke me from a deep sleep. I opened my eyes lazily glancing at the clock on the wall. At half-time 6am, Abi was screaming in front of the room! The huft!

"Baby! Pray at dawn!" abi Agas said waking me up once more. If I have not answered then my dear Abi will continue to be noisy.

"Yes, dear Abi. I'm awake!" my answer. It also makes Abi wait a long time.

"Jaudah fast pray! Abi wants to play sports with Abi and Zaky's friends!"

Hearing the name Zaky made my consciousness fully recover. Zaky's in sports? I am also ah!

Quickly I got up and took ablution. After performing the morning prayers I also changed my hello kitty-style nightgown with my running shirt. 3/4 pants with sports t-shirts with a checklist sign on the middle. I stuck myself in the mirror, making sure there weren't any visible traces of lightning. Must be cool and beautiful if you want to meet the beloved Mas Zaky!

I went ahead while carrying my sports shoes. I approached Mommy Dance who was preparing breakfast and hugged her warmly. Mommy was surprised by me.

"You're! Just ngagetin' Mommy!" mommy's nagging but with her elegant gentleness that is second to none.

"Say, tell me where Mommy doesn't want to exercise?" I asked directly to the point.

"Said to play badminton on the front court of the complex. Tumben you want to exercise this early in the morning?!" asked Mommy while looking at me the princess from head to toe. Mommy knows her son hasn't had a bath yet but is already wearing a fragrant perfume.

"I want a sport, My. Be healthy! I'm going first, yeah, My. Assalamualaikum!" I salim with Mommy Dance and go to the front of the house.

I warmed up for a while before running towards the multipurpose field in front of the complex. My hair was purposely tied high so it would sway left and right as I ran. The complex is already quite crowded with residents who want to exercise in the morning. I looked for the whereabouts of the man of my heart and saw his burly body from a distance.

I ran small and reached the field I was heading to. My forehead was sweating after running. I saw Abi and his friends playing badminton. I then looked for someone who made me want to exercise in the morning, not continue to sleep when the holidays arrive.

My eyes were pounded on a handsome man with a tall body who was engrossed in dribbling the ball. The handsome man ran while carrying the ball, jumped and put the ball into the available basketball hoop.

Waw... I was really fascinated to see it. How handsome is that man of my heart. It made me praise how wonderful God's creation was.

"Mas Zaky.." call me. I also get more excited to approach the handsome man who is still my distant brother status.

"Mas Zaky!" I shouted with gasping breath because the handsome did not turn his head.

The handsome man looked for the one who called his name and smiled when he saw me coming. "Hi, Baby!" sweep it in a friendly manner. The smile on his face was so. ah can't stand it I want to immediately wrestle spoiled it feels.

Unfortunately, I'm exhausted. I immediately sat on the field with my legs straightened. "Cape, Mas!" I said with spoiled.

Mas Zaky came over and sat down next to me. He took the initiative to massage my legs that level and smooth white. "So it's not warmed up yet? You ran away from home, right? Very far away!" he said attentively.

I nodded, "Udah. Yes, it was a small run and immediately ran fast when I saw Mas Zaky." I replied with a smile.

Mas Zaky smiled at my answer. He then rubbed my head lovingly as usual. Since childhood Mas Zaky always loved me and considered me like his own sister. The younger sister he never had because of Mama Tara (Tanteku) had several miscarriages. But I'm sure, now Mas Zaky has seen me as a pretty girl. Not his sister anymore. Just look at his attentive eyes. The more I can't stand the taste of me ....

I think I drank the water that Mas Zaky gave me and calmed my exhausted self. Mas Zaky was watching Abi Agas fighting his Papa Damar. It looks very exciting because Abi Agas and Papa Damar have always competed.

According to the stories of Abi's friends that I heard, Mama Tara (Mama Mas Zaky) used to be his wife Abi Agas. Mama Tara had an affair with Papa Damar and divorced from Abi Agas.

Abi Agas then married Mommy Tari who turned out to be his cousin Mama Tara. This makes my relationship with Mas Zaky still a distant brother. I even called Mas Zaky's parents Papa and Mama because they love me so much.

Now, Abi Agas and Papa Damar have been living well despite occasionally still like to argue about small things. Their homes face off. If I miss Mas Zaky, just play in front of the house. However, not only did Abi Agas and Papa Damar get along well, I also wanted Abi Agas to forgive Mama Tara, I also knew Mas Zaky wanted the same thing.

"Mas, he said he wanted to buy me something." I whined spoiledly. It's not really a gift I want but I want to spend more time with Mas Zaky.

"Are you past the thesis?" ask back to Zaky.

"Udah dong! This week I even graduated." I replied proudly.

"Great dong! Yaudah, what do you want to buy?" zaky asked looking happy to hear the news from me.

"What yes? A different gift from the others. Hm.... How about a house... stairs?" godaku's.

Hearing my request made Mas Zaky laugh out loud. "Just graduated already talking about the household. Diomelin Abi you later!"

I returned to my lips. “Yaudah then. Buy me some shoes, but buy them the same Mas Zaky! Keep buying Zaky ice cream, eating steak and playing in the Time Zone and watching and-"

"How many requests do you have, Baby?! Okay, Mister kabelkan! I'll let you know that there's an empty schedule!" said Mas Zaky while gently rubbing my hair.

"Yey! Zaky is the best!" I then embrace Zaky spoiledly. Mas Zaky is used to my embrace but....

"BABYY!!! WHY ARE YOU KAYAKING THAT?!" shouted Abi Agas who did not like to see his favorite daughter embrace other men besides herself.

Quickly I let go of my embrace and approached Abi. Persuading Abi not to be angry. After my ears were rent Abi in public, making me ashamed to make him. Not to mention the scolding I got. Huft....

I really want to be Mas Zaky's wife. Imagining us at the wedding and seeing Abi Agas and Mama Tara giving us our blessing, then making up and being in the same place as my marriage is what I really want to make happen.

Zaky

Today the Goddess will come to Carmen's house. I had to have lunch together at their house. Hm... Call Carmen ah to be invited!

I called my little sister and without hesitation my sister took me to lunch with her family. I can't wait to meet the Goddess, my first love.

Carmen came to greet me warmly. He hugged me and acted like he always did. I'm welcome to come in and have a meal with Sister Carmen and her wife Dewi.

The face of the Goddess is getting more beautiful. It feels like my love for the Goddess will not be that easy to lose. The goddess is the woman I've always wanted. Beautiful, independent, mature, gentle and unyielding.

I feel willing to give anything in order to always be close to the Goddess. Seeing her beautiful face while eating alone makes me happy. Suppose there was a way that I could always be close to him....
