Carmen's Love Trap
Don't wanna Lose


Zaky


"You need to get to the office as soon as possible, Zaky! Your job is waiting. You pursue Baby's love later after you're done with your work. If you keep this up, it could mess up Papa's company!" papa's nagging from the other end of the phone.


"But I have to talk to Baby, Pa. I have to start approaching him again. There is a beginning to be my rival. I don't want Baby to be taken by that guy!" my answer.


"At least, you work first. Today you have a meeting with the CEO of an American company that has a big project with us. You can't just leave a meeting like that! If until the company Papa bankrupt how? Does Baby still want to see you? Does Agas want to have a son-in-law of a difficult person?" Papa's just getting upset because I always answer all his words.


"Yes. I'm going to the office now." I had to give up. I don't want Papa to get angry and everything gets messed up. The problem with Baby isn't over, I don't want to add to the problem with Papa.


I took out an origami paper from my bag and wrote a message. "Don't go with Bahri. Just go with me, right? I'll come later in the afternoon and take you for a walk. Where are you going? I'm ready to take you anywhere."


I folded the origami paper into a bird shape and I went down. Baby was talking to the goddess. I also approached and panted. "I'm going to work first." I put my origami in Baby's hands. Baby looked surprised but the origami I gave him still he held. At least he still wants to read the origami I made.


I said goodbye to the Goddess before leaving the shophouse. "Wi, I'm going first. Please bring Baby! Don't let your sister approach her!" my message.


The goddess looked surprised to hear my words. "Wow, what's wrong? I think I missed something! How did you leave Baby with me? Then ... why should you feel so afraid of my sister? Are you sure you're going to lose?" satirize the Goddess with a spicy.


"Losing? There is no losing word in my dictionary! I'm not losing but I'm setting a strategy. Right now I have to work. If I don't work, where can I make Baby happy?" I glanced at Baby who threw away his gaze not looking at me at all.


"It's good that you don't feel defeated, because you'll never lose against the Hero. It's not funny if you lose also against my sister, Bahri!" The goddess challenged me. It seems he is still very angry with what I did first.


"We'll see!" I left Goddess and Baby and went back to the office. I finished the work in the office one by one, lest there be anything left for Papa not to contact me again and get angry like that.


Unfortunately, my job at the office turned out to be more than I thought. My plan to go home before the afternoon so I could take Baby away before Bahri invited him apparently failed. I just finished after the Maghrib prayer. I quickly drove my car to the salon and the results were in vain. Baby's car is no longer in the shophouse. Apparently, I lost the move. If only I had done that job since yesterday, I would not be late today.


I finally decided to go around looking for Baby's whereabouts. Jakarta is jammed plus I don't know where they went to make me just go around in circles looking for the whereabouts of my ex-wife. I finally gave up and went home. I glanced into Abi's garage but there was no Baby parked in it.


I didn't heed Mama's talk. After the shower I continued to sit by the window and watch Abi's house. I waited for Baby to come home, but it turns out my ex-wife did not come home even though it was getting late.


"What have you seen since? Mama see you're squealing into Agas' house!" Mom came up to me and followed the direction I was looking. "There's nothing! What the hell are you looking at?"


"It was precisely because Baby's car wasn't in the car garage that I kept looking at the front house. I heard earlier that baby was going with Bahri, but not yet home" I said without letting go of the slightest glance at the garage of Abi's house.


"Bahri's? Who the hell?!" ask Mama.


"His sister Dewi, his wife Wira. Baby and Bahri are very close. From what I see, I think Bahri does hold the same feeling Baby but Baby does not pay attention. Baby doesn't think Bahri is more than a friend."


"Where's the problem? Let me dong! Baby is now a widow. Singles. Alone already. Gratuitous. If he wants to be with another man, it's up to Baby! Why did you forbid it? Remember, you are separated. Divorced. Let Baby live with the person he loves. You also have to live with the people you love" Mama advised.


"Can't! I don't like Baby the same guy! He was self-indulgent, arrogant and his work was showing off constantly! I'm not willing!"


My mother smiled at my words. "Who do you agree with Baby?" ask Mama.


"Yes the same as me! Baby is my wife. Until whenever she will be my wife, even though we are currently divorced, I am sure, soon we will also refer. Baby can't be the same as other men! Especially a guy like Bahri!"


"What a weirdo? Mama heard it like you're so jealous of Baby. If you are so jealous of what Baby did with Bahri, yes you talk dong! Tell me Baby, I'm jealous. I don't like seeing you with other guys! Say it frankly. Don't just be alone." said Mama.


"Jealous? It's jealous like this, Ma?" I still doubt if I'm jealous. The hell time I'm jealous?


Mama took a banana and hit me in the head with a Sunpride banana until it split in half. "If it's not jealousy what's it called try? Bodok is preserved! That's why not most of the learning mama said! Why is the hero who often clubbing even smarter than you who graduated abroad! So learn about women's hearts, do not learn about crying tender only you muchkin! It's heart, not tender!"
