Carmen's Love Trap
Finding the Existence of Baby

Zaky

I walked into the kitchen and instead found Baby cooking while singing cheerfully as usual but a mother who used to clean our house.

"August, Sir. Do you want me to prepare breakfast?!" ask the mother.

A breakfast?

I forgot the last time I ate. The sound of my stomach rumbling made me realize that I forgot to fill it.

"Yes. Make me some fried rice!" order me and go to my room.

Room's empty. There are no work clothes that Baby prepares as usual. I miss Baby. I miss his joy in this house.

I have given up my intention to go to work. Make what? I won't be able to concentrate. Wait, I have to go to the cafe and see if Baby's car has been taken. I sent a message to one of his employees to tell me secretly. Is Baby coming or anything about Baby.

I grabbed a towel and took a shower. After a breakfast of fried rice that didn't taste as good as Baby's, I went to the cafe I visited last night. Baby's car is parked there. It means he hasn't taken it.

Where should I find Baby?!

Goddesses.

Yep. Only the Goddess I can ask for help. I don't care if the Goddess is angry. I just have to find Baby and solve our problem. I don't want to part with Baby. How will my life be without Baby?!

I also drove my car to the new house of Dewi. There are no cars in his house. Safe. I can talk calmly and explain everything to the Goddess.

Dewi's housekeeper let me into their comfortable and loving home. I'm envious. Not because the Wira got the Goddess, but because I can't be like them. My household alone I can't defend. It's stupid, isn't it?!

Before long the Goddess came out while holding her child. Seeing my whereabouts he looked annoyed and did not bother to hide his irritation to me.

The goddess placed her child in the housekeeper and sat in front of me with her face. "What else is it?!" ask with ketus.

"Sorry I interrupted your time, Wi. I don't want to talk about us, but about Baby." I said straight to the point.

The goddess was surprised to hear my words. "Babies? What happened to Carmen?"

I filled my lungs with a lot of air before the scolding I received. "Baby knows all about how I feel about you."

"Huh? Baby know? Crazy anyway! I thought Baby heard it that night! How then? Baby crying? Getting angry?" he nodded me with a question.

"Baby covered everything this year and Baby .. also heard what I said at dinner yesterday. Baby gets angry and .. leaves the house."

"What's? You are, Mas! I told you what you did was crazy! Your obsession makes no sense! Where the hell is he going? At Abi's house there was no end to it when I was there."

"I know I was wrong. I'm too obsessed. I regret. I don't know where Baby went. All my calls were diverted by him. I just realized that I don't know anything about Baby. Who's his friend, where he's going, and I don't know where to look. Please help me, Wi. Help find Baby before Baby sends me a divorce lawsuit."

The goddess was surprised. "Baby wants to sue for your divorce? Yes God Baby ... You must be very hurt, right?! I'm sorry, Baby!"

The goddess now looked at me with an even more furious and sinister gaze. "I helped you this once. Remember, only once! I don't want to help you anymore! What you've done has hurt Baby so much! I'm not gonna interfere anymore. Want Baby to sue for your divorce too I don't care! You deserve it! A baby who doesn't deserve to hurt you!"

I nodded and resigned to the Goddess. He went inside and just came back a little while. His eyes turned red after crying. He must have spoken to Baby.

"Hows it? What did Baby say? Where is he now?!" I'm impatient.

The goddess breathed her breath out violently. His eyes seem to hate me. "Baby won't tell himself where. Baby just messages that in a few days he will go home and tell Abi everything. Baby I can't talk to. He has decided to sue you for divorce" said Dewi coldly.

I shook my head. Don't let all this happen. "I don't want a divorce with Baby, Wi. Help me talk to him. I beg!"

"Why? Are you afraid your parents will scold you? Are you afraid of Abi? A coward! I told you I'd only help you once, right? Take care of your own household! Take care of the problems you have yourself! Go home before Wira comes home and give you a raw bogem on your face like you used to!" expel Goddess.

"Wi, please. Help me, Wi! I don't want to divorce Baby. I want to apologize to him. I'm gonna fix all my mistakes, Wi. I beg! Help me again!" I say it seriously.

I came out of the Goddess's house with shaky steps. I just have to wait for the day until the bomb will finally go off while living in this empty, deserted house.

🎶I woke up again among the quiet

just a crowded mind

Condemning yourself cannot return

to change the story

When they asked for laughter

it turns out that being willing is not as easy as a word

Don't worry, I'm just hurt

I am used to pretending to laugh

But can I cry once?

Before returning to lie to yourself🎶

Carmen

I woke up with my eyes. This hotel room is where I can cry. The sound of knocking on my bedroom door made me step lazily and open the door.

Peachy.

"Again, Bidadiku! Breakfast yuk!" bring him with a smile on his face.

"Males. Satisfied." reject me.

"Eh can't be lazy! Quickly wash your face and wear training clothes! We all exercise for breakfast. I'll wait in the lobby!" Bahri left and made me unable to refuse his request.

I was forced to wash my face, brush my teeth and go down with a t-shirt and training pants. Kukuncir high my hair.

"That's so dong! Let's walk healthy and get some fresh air!" Bahri reached out his hand and took me down Malioboro Street in the morning.

Many shops along the road are still closed. The morning air is still clean, unlike in Jakarta. Some rickshawmen offered us to take us to our destination.

"When are you home?" tanya Bahri broke the silence between us.

"The plan is tomorrow morning."

"Well, are you ready to detonate a bomb in the peace of your family?"

I smiled at him, "Ready ready, I gotta do it."

"Good! Don't worry, there's always me by your side. I will accompany you anytime. In two weeks I will be assigned to Jakarta. Whenever you're sad, I'll be right next to you."

"Thank you! You are so good with me!"
