Carmen
Actually I was disappointed when I read the message Mas Zaky sent me. It was just a message, not a phone call that Mas Zaky was going out of town to work. A little bit of disappointment in me. Was it hard to tell me he was going out of town? Why do you have to pass a short message, it was replied a few hours later.
I went home lazy. The house looks messy because I haven't had time to clean it. I was so busy working on some reports that I stayed up in the middle of the night, that's why I like the bad luck of waking up in the morning. I'm too tired to work and lazy to clean the house. The plan is, I'll ask Mommy to find me a housekeeper. At least the house will stay tidy when I get home.
Having a salon business that is not my expertise makes me have to learn more. I'm taking some training. I also have to know the development of the current fashion trend. Not to mention I had to develop my salon to be even more successful.
I didn't tell Mas Zaky. I work because I want to fill my free time, not just because of money. I don't want to tell you about my work, Mas Zaky will tell me to stop working, so I just keep quiet and do my job alone without Mas Zaky knowing.
I called Mommy and asked her to find me a housekeeper. I don't need to stay overnight, just go home to clean the house. Mommy confirmed my request.
This big house was very empty and cold. There was no warmth like when I lived in Abi's house. So quiet. I'm not a coward like Abang Wira. It's okay to stay alone even if I feel lonely.
It turns out Mas Zaky extended his work out of town. I was getting lonely and felt like my house was not like other newlyweds. It used to be that Abang and Kak dewi were so friendly despite hiding their marriage, while I?

I was pensively eating the half-baked pinch cake that I ate without passion. The salon is empty. I decided to snack in front of the shophouse while sitting casually on a chair.
"Dorr!" I was suddenly startled by the sound of someone patting my shoulder.
"Rese! I'm surprised to know!" omelku while throwing a pinch cake that was captured on target by Bahri, his sister Kak Dewi.
"However, it's his job!" Bahri took my pinch cake and ate it without excuse.
"Tumben's here. Don't you help your mom in the laundry?" my many.
"No. Bosens. Enjoy it here. There is a cafe and a salon. More rames. Why are you daydreaming? The new bride is daydreaming? Pamali knows!"
"Pamali why? It's getting weird!"
"No daydreaming, in front of the shophouse kayak gini again. What if there's a bad guy?" Bahri dismisses the starling coffee maker (around starbuck) who uses a bicycle and then ordered coffee.
"Seek to the cafe if you want a cup of coffee" I said
"No need. It's aja. You'll be broke if I keep mintain." Bahri paid for the coffee and sat down next to me.
"There problem? Tumben not cheerful and kayak installments usually? Or the... Pregnant again? Uh but the marriage wasn't long ago so it wasn't pregnant." Bahri's question made me even sadder. How to get pregnant, we just split the room.
That's right what Bahri said. He can hold a secret. We have been getting closer since I did business with Kak Dewi and Abang Wira. He deserves me to believe.

Carmen was an angel in the form of a human being in my eyes. Although sometimes spoiled but his heart is very good. I once saw him cry when he saw the beggar and did not hesitate to give a lot of money to the beggar.
Carmen was an idol for the SD food hawkers who passed in front of the shophouse. If Carmen has been snacked, then the hawker will be given more money. Everyone called him Neng Carmen the Little Angel of the Fowler.
It is strange to see the children of rich people who hobby SD food. Usually they take care of the hygiene of food, unlike Carmen who just snack on food that she likes.
Today seeing Angel Carmen looking sad made me wonder, what has happened? What problems have befallen her to such sadness?
Carmen then managed to persuade me to tell you what happened. "Why is my household not like Abi and Mommy who always look harmonious and loving? Is it because my love is bigger than Mas Zaky's? Unlike Abi who loves Mommy very much and wants to always make Mommy happy."
"Mommy and Abi you definitely need a process to get to that stage. You also. May I know what the disharmony is like?!"
"I feel that Mas Zaky puts more emphasis on work than I do. Mas Zaky is too busy working than spending his time with me. We are married but we are like strangers living in one house. L'm... Feeling lonely." Carmen nodded her grief.
"Have you tried to take your husband's heart yet? Usually, the man likes to be noticed with his wife. If I had a wife, I would love to have my wife prepare a meal for me, prepare clothes for me to work with and be a great friend to talk to. Have you done that?!"
Carmen raised her face and shook her head. "I can't cook."
"Huh? You are the son of a cafe owner whose cuisine is famous for being delicious but you can't cook? Not wrong?!" I can't believe I heard it.
"I never learned anything from Mommy. Mommy can all do it alone."
I got my head rolling hearing it. "Jude, you learn from now on! So the wife that I want eh means to be your husband's dream wife. Learn to cook, clean the house, prepare your husband's equipment. Guaranteed later your husband will feel at home with the angel of heaven.nya." I almost slipped.
"Is that so? It's true what you said. Oh, I am learning right now! I'm going to Mommy's house and study with Mommy! Thanks for the advice. You are my best friend!" Carmen looks excited again. He went inside to get the bag and drove off in his car.
I hope the advice I give her can be useful. I like Carmen but I don't want her to be sad. I would rather see him happy.
It's sad the fate of a one-sided love like me. That's not. As long as my son is happy, I will be happier. But if my heretic is hurt, I'll take it away and be happy all my life.
