Carmen's Love Trap
Assalamualaikum, Baby

Zaky

After the divorce, Carmen returns to Abi's house. I don't know where he's been all this time. His existence was deliberately hidden so as not to waver to divorce me.

I saw him this morning when I was leaving for work. He is heating his car. She looks beautiful and looks more beautiful than usual. White shirt with ribbon under neck and brown trousers.

"Morning, Baby!" I shouted from the garage.

Baby only caught a glimpse and got into his car. Not talking at all. I did the same thing. Get in the car and follow where he's going.

Apparently Baby stopped by one of Mommy Tari's cafes. He got out of the car while carrying his laptop. I just realized that Baby looks so grown up. She is like another career woman who looks cool when carrying a laptop and wearing work clothes.

I quickly got out of the car and approached him. Baby was surprised to find out that I was following him since.

"Hi, Baby!" my broom.

Baby is still cute. He kept walking across the yard. I kept walking to teach her.

"Morning, Baby!" my broom again and Baby is still cranky.

I'm not out of my mind. This time it must have been answered. "Assyoung, Baby!" I said gently.

"Waalaikumsalam," Baby replied briefly.

I smiled at Baby's voice. Why yes with me? I used to get dizzy hearing her wake me up every morning. Now I'm glad to hear his voice even if it's just one word.

"Is breakfast not yet?" my many.

Silent. Baby just shut up. He opened the cafe door and went inside. I followed where he went.

"Aren't you making fried rice? I miss your cooking!" I said until he answered my words.

Baby was silent. He even talked to one of the cashiers who had finished serving customers. "Let's ask for a stock report from Mr. Ali!" his orders firmly. The cashier nodded obediently.

Wow ... very different Baby when working with everyday. Seemed resolute and so respected his men. Why did I just realize it?

"You're so strict anyway? Cool huh! I just saw it now. I'm hungry, because follow you, I don't have breakfast. We have breakfast!uk! Find some good chicken porridge, will you?" I kept my hands on Baby's steps up to the 2nd floor. Baby didn't answer my question at all.

I used my weapon again so he could answer me. "Assyntheir, Baby? Breakfast yuk!"

Baby stopped and breathed. His hand held the doorknob and opened it. Before entering Baby replies, "Waalaikumsalam." He closed the door and locked it.

Well ... only got here my fight. It'sit's okay. My fight is not over. I'll definitely win Baby's heart later!

Carmen

Abi deliberately hid my existence and asked me to stay for a while in one of Mommy's cafes, where Abang used to live before marrying Kak Dewi. There is a room with its own room and bathroom that is comfortable to occupy.

Abi's reason was that I didn't want to keep crying when I saw Zaky and eventually dropped the divorce suit out of pity, like the story of a famous artist that was widely reported on TV. I'm different. My decision to divorce is ripe. No more compromises.

"Morning, Baby!" The sound of Mas Zaky's scream shocked me who was heating the car's engine before leaving for work.

"Cuekkin, Baby! Let's just say the next-door neighbor's pet monkey asked for a banana!" cibir Abi who was eating fried bananas on the porch bench of the house.

"Yes, Bi. I'll walk first. Assalamualaikum!" I saluted Abi and went to work. I ignored Mas Zaky as Abi asked.

I set music on the way to the cafe. I don't want to think about Mas Zaky at all. I have to move on!

But I didn't think that Mas Zaky was following me to the cafe. Arriving at the cafe, I had to tidy up my things and put them in a bag before getting out of the car. I have a laptop that I'm going to use for a cafe audit today. I was so surprised when I heard the greeting from Mas Zaky.

I ignored him back. I remembered Abi's message and thought that Mas Zaky's babbling voice was like a monkey asking for a banana. I don't want to answer at all.

Apparently Mas Zaky is not out of his mind. He even said the greetings that I had to answer as a Muslim. I had to answer his greetings. "Getishalight." I answered briefly and there were no words other than the greeting.

From the corner of my eye, I could see him smiling. Just answered his greetings he was very happy. Bizarrely. When I woke him up in the morning, he was always angry and said that I was noisy and ugly, but now? Let it be, he must be just looking for attention! I'd better be cuekin and focus on my work at the cafe today.

Mas Zaky keeps blabbing the obscure. I focused on working and asked the cashier for a report. He follows me wherever I go. Ask about my fried rice. Who would want to make him fried rice again? No, rather than my efforts in vain just for the sake of a man who failed to move on like him? I don't want to!

Mas Zaki again pulled out his weapon. He said hello again and I had to answer him. "Getishalight." But for me it's finished today being bullied by him. I open the door and I close and I lock it. I saw Mas Zaky being silent for a moment in front of the door before he finally left. I sat in my chair and felt sad again. My tears fell back. I still feel that pain.

I took a stack of files I hadn't checked and refocused on working. I can't think of that guy. I have to work, work and work. It was lunchtime and I felt my stomach hungry. I want to eat at the grilled chicken shop located next to the cafe. It feels good and I like the sauce. I took my wallet and when I went downstairs it turned out that Mas Zaky was working behind the laptop.

"Hi Baby! Where's lunch going?" tanyakanya.

I kept walking and ignored him. Mas Zaky closed his laptop quickly and left it to my employees before running to me.

"What do you want to eat? I'm hungry too. Just snacking on cake at your cafe. Will you take the car or do we walk?" ask Mas Zaky.

Of course I didn't answer. I was just bothered by the words 'we' he said. We were? Wh who? Sorry boss, there are no more words for us in our relationship!
