Carmen's Love Trap
Official Proposal

Zaky

Carmen just called me. After a few days of disappearing like the earth he finally gave news. I think he changed his mind and forgot his proposal to me, apparently not.

"Mas, Abi has blessed our relationship! I was asked to come with Papa Damar and Mama Tara!" carmen said excitedly.

"Can't you?" I just can't believe it. Apparently Baby still insisted on his plan.

"Yes dong, Carmen is that! I went on a two-day hunger strike so that Abi would bless us. So, when did you come to propose to me officially? How about Sunday tomorrow? I told you Mommy and Abi yes!" again the boy did as he pleased.

"Yes. I'll tell you Mama and Papa first." I'll ask for it.

"Assyc! Yey we're getting married!" the boy looks happy, but not with me. The hell am I gonna marry my own sister? Huft....

Goddesses... Goddesses... Being close to you requires sacrifice...

I found the right time to talk to my parents. Tonight at dinner I think is the best time. Mama and Papa's mood is good, especially Papa who just got a big tender.

"Ma... Pa... Somebody wants Zaky to talk about it." I said as I put the old cutlery and fork on the plate.

"What are you talking about, honey? So serious!" ask Mama.

"About Carmen."

"Carmen? What's up with that beautiful Papa kid?" ask Papa.

"I... Want to propose to Carmen... To be my wife."

Mom and Dad looked at each other. Before long they both smiled happily. "really? You want to make Carmen Mama's daughter-in-law? Oh Allah... Mama's so happy!"

"Yes. Papa was also very happy. During this time Papa prayed that you would get a good soul mate, uh it turns out you even get a very good soul mate like Carmen. Whoa... Papa did not expect. Since when do you love Carmen?!" ask Papa.

Of love? I'm not in love, I'm being proposed to by that brat! I don't want to answer Papa's question. I chose to divert with another question.

"Today this week it was her intention that I would go to Carmen's place to formally apply. Mama and Papa want to propose to Carmen for me?!"

"Sure dong! Mama wants to talk first ah Tari! Don't expect your cousin to be your own mother." Mama looks so happy and excited, so does Papa. I'm the only one who's not excited.

Sundays

As I promised Carmen, today I'm coming to propose with my parents. I was wearing a formal suit, Mama asked for it. Mom wants this show to look official.

My mom was busy preparing all the luggage. Oma is also so, especially I'm the only grandchild. A variety of cakes and food is available for prospective families besan. Oma was very excited today. Oma likes Carmen, as Carmen is already considered her own granddaughter. Hearing I was about to marry Carmen made Oma very happy.

We walked to Carmen's house, which was right in front of my house. There are already Papa friends who welcome while smiling ignorantly. "Cie made by cie.." ledek Om Sony.

Om Agas stood at the entrance without a smile. He welcomed us with a face that he could not hide.

I'm looking for the angel of my heart. A beautiful woman who looks more beautiful when wearing a modern peach-colored kebaya. Her hair is embraced modern, making Dewi more like the Goddess of heaven.

The hero stood beside Abi. He was just like Abi who put on a flat face without a smile. Maybe I don't want to marry my favorite sister. We are then welcome to sit in the living room that has been called carpet and there is food and drink in the middle.

Papa then began to convey his purpose and purpose. Soon Carmen was told to leave her room. Baby looks beautiful today. He dressed and wore a kebaya. Baby smiled at me and I returned my sister's smile, my future wife. Huft...

The two sides began to talk about their wedding plans. Occasionally making small talk because they didn't think that Carmen and I had feelings for each other. Huh. kinda know. How can I love my own sister?!

I then looked towards the Goddess who seemed fun playing HP. He was not sitting next to the hero. He chose to go next to Carmen. I have not seen the Goddess and the Hero speak. Like something weird.

The event continued with a meal together. All chatting with each other while occasionally laughing with the act of Om Riko and Om Sony who like to throw silly jokes. I'm saying I'm going to the toilet. Because it's under full, I'm allowed to go to the toilet in Carmen's room. I know this house and it's like my own.

When I wanted to get out of the room, I heard that Dewi and Wira were fighting in front of Carmen's room. Apparently the busyness of the Hero makes Dewi upset and spills her anger.

"You can't be so dong. The problems in the laundry business are also many. Instead, you focus more on taking care of the cafe and showroom business. I'm still not good at handling everything! You don't let go of this hand dong!" lament Goddess.

"Whose hands have gone? I also handle. Only now I'm focused on the showroom business because there are many rivals. Many of our marketing moves because they feel the sales bonus is not appropriate. I am repairing them one by one. You're patient dong. Let's talk about it later at home! Not at Carmen's show like this!" The hero then leaves the Goddess without solving the problem.

"If you go home before midnight, I can also talk about it!" grouse Goddess.

I then went out of the room and made the Goddess surprised. "Eh Mas Zaky."

I smiled at the Goddess. "I.heard a little of your conversation. Who's patient Wi, maybe Wira is very busy."

"Yes. Very busy. Oh yes, congratulations, my. I never thought Mas Zaky and Carmen would get married. You match! May you be fooled!" goddess Prayer.

I wish he was a match with you, Wi.

"Yes. Thanks prayer. How's your laundry business? I saw more and more." I even chatted with the Goddess. I can be content to talk while looking at her pretty face. Honey, I was called to a photo show.

I put a fake smile on the cameraman as my eyes glanced towards the Goddess and the Hero who seemed to be fighting but without many words. I am sure, there is still a gap for me to enter the House of Wira and Dewi.

"Come on, smile and face the camera!" the photographer's orders.

I smiled, and Carmen and I showed off our ringed fingers. Carmen smiled happily, so did I. If Papa can take Mama, why can't I take the Goddess?!
