Carmen's Love Trap
Helping Abi

Zaky

Ever since I stayed at Abi's house, I've been used to knocking at the door at dawn. Definitely Abi would like to invite me to pray at dawn in the mosque. At first I was a bit forced to do it, but over time I got used to it and even before Abi woke me up, I was up first. I was ready with the cocoa shirt and sarongs and prayer mats I had attached to my shoulder, while my dear wife was still sound asleep.

Since pregnancy, Baby so easily sleepy even though the gestational age is also still classified as young pregnant. Baby says he likes to sleep. If told to choose between eating or sleeping, Baby will choose to sleep.

We've consulted the doctor, the doctor said all this is still normal. It's just that Baby who is usually diligent in working, making reports and likes to wara-wiri to the salon so malls out of the house. Baby prefers to do his report in the room and before long he will sleep soundly due to fatigue.

I went to the mosque with Abi and Om Bastian as usual. I'm just like a mosquito repellent listening to Abi's chatter with om Bastian that's so exciting. Want to join, afraid to say daughter-in-law who likes to interfere. Silence is the best option. When asked, I answer. If not, then I'll just shut up.

This Saturday I plan to take Baby for a walk to the Mall. I want to buy Baby whatever he asks. I will be a husband who is ready to serve his wife cravings. However, since it is still dawn I want to sleep first for a while. Baby is too. After morning prayers, he pulled the blanket back just like me. We were sound asleep, but not long before we fell asleep, there was another knock on the door. It was definitely Abi.

"Zakiy. Comeondown! Help Abi!" abi's orders without me to dispute.

I let go of Baby's super comfortable hug and let her sleep longer. I approached you Abi but it turns out that Abi has gone to the front garden of the house.

"Zaky, you help Abi tidy up the grass! It's getting long. Next do not forget the plants are given fertilizer," ordered Abi.

I'm speechless. I don't understand plants like this. Who has a hobby of planting and caring for plants is Mama. I've never taken care of anything like this. What should I do, huh? Never mind, just clingy. What matters is what Abi told me to do.

I also picked up grass clippers located on the edge of the park. I started mowing the grass until it became a very short grass. Like a haircut, leave a little to grow longer. Next, I took the dry fertilizer that was in the storage area. I sprinkle as much as I can into Abi's collection of houseplants. Beres. It's easy to just do this.

I went into the house, the plan after washing my hands I will go back to Baby's embrace and sleep again dong. Apparently, my plan was just a plan. Abi called.

"Udah?" Abi looked at me from head to toe like a suspicious person and unsure of the work I was doing.

"Russia, dong. The grass is already me scissors. I also have fertilizer spread. Everything is done according to Abi's orders" I replied proudly.

"Kok Abi isn't sure? Very quickly you work on it, not long ago Abi selonjoran you are finished. Let Abi see your work!" Abi closed the newspaper he was reading and went to the front page.

I followed from behind, I was ready to receive a compliment from Abi. Sure, Abi wouldn't have thought that a great CEO like me could do gardener work. Abi must be thinking, I'm just a spoiled kid. Abi wrong. I can do everything. Let's prove it!

"Astaghfiullah!" Abi suddenly massaged his chest. I feel bad. What's wrong huh? Lost all my confidence.

"Why, Bi?" I asked slowly and was a little scared.

I can't argue. I just shut up. I was wrong. I think the more bald a grass is the better. Isn't grass just a wild plant that actually interferes with other plants? That's what I learned in school. Why did Abi defend the grass and blame me? Are these grasses more important than me?

"Do you know anything about grass?" tnyah Abi again.

I shook my head. "I just know that grass is one of those plant pests that bothers other plants to grow. Therefore, it is better that the grass be finished so as not to disturb other plants," I said voicing my heart.

Abi was seen clenching his hands and breathing out several times. Oh, Abi is angry. Was my answer wrong? Will I get another raw bogem because of the grass problem?

"It's not grass like this. Different types. Grass like this is useful to beautify the garden, we must take care and keep our garden beautiful. If this is what you do, Abi's garden becomes like a pitak's head! Some are flat, some are shaved to the roots. Is this nice to see?" abi asked while holding back his patience.

This time I answered him by shaking my head. Experience has taught me not to talk much and it is better if Abi is angry. Abi now exhaled in annoyance. Is Abi getting angry with me?

"Abi doesn't want to be like this anymore! You must learn how to care for the grass!" abi said after successfully tempering his emotions with istighfar.

"Yes, Bi. Sorry about Bi. I don't know much. I'll learn it later so as not to be wrong again" I said regretfully.

"Yes. How else," replied Abi flatly. Abi then went to his ornamental plant area. This time, I'm sure I'm right. That sprinkled fertilizer is my most perfect job.

"Astaghfirullahaladhim, Zaky!" Abi's tone of voice started to rise. Abi is then seen taking a deep breath and exhaling it in annoyance. Her face flushed holding back my annoyance. "Why do Abi plant pots contain all fertilizer?"

"Liar healthy, Bi. Healthy plants are those that are often given fertilizer. If I give a lot of fertilizer, Abi does not need to often love fertilizer. Saves energy. Just once is enough. It could be for a month or three months, I replied proudly. I look smart, don't I?

"Yes if the Abi plant becomes fertile, if angry poisoning because most fertilizer how? Nothing is right about your job! Just give it a little and then water it. This is why you just pour fertilizer and then you leave your job? If complicated, you can use a spray that has been filled with fertilizer. It's even easier. There's his writing really, fertilizer," Abi's nagging at length.

I just sit down and shut up. I know Abi's anger is getting doubled, if I speak up I can be even more angry later.

"Here you go, let Abi do it! You're just making Abi's job so much more! You drink coffee while you watch Abi work!" said Abi.

"Yes, Bi."
