2024-10-29 19:42:56Olive woke up as soon as her alarm went off for the first time. Usually, she'd wait for the third alarm before opening her eyes. Not this time. When it came to her honeymoon, she didn't want to be late. There was no such thing as oversleeping. Since yesterday, when she sat and stood more often to welcome a lot of guests, she had been whispering to Thomas.
She'd say, "Make sure you don't stay up too late in the room, okay. We have to sleep early."
Thomas just stared, well, because of what Olive just said. But for the sake of seeing Olive's smile, Thomas just obeyed. So, once their session was done, due to this wedding reception, Thomas couldn't chat much with the guests. He didn't care, whether you called it impatience or not, he just didn't want to upset Olive because she'd made her point quite threatening.
"Don't make me upset about sleep!"
Remembering how Thomas was humble and big-hearted, Olive giggled. She immediately turned off the alarm, afraid of d

Oh, why did Olive have a husband like Thomas? She couldn't concentrate on checking again to make sure nothing was left behind at the hotel. It felt like she had spent the night there for no reason. Olive had really slept comfortably in her husband's embrace, doing nothing at all. But she couldn't refuse it because all this was arranged by Om Robert, her future stepfather.As her husband left the bathroom, Olive immediately approached him. "Bae, please tell me where we're going?" She also handed him the clothes she had prepared. She didn't care how handsome her husband was, even though he was only wearing a towel around his waist. If she wanted, she could enjoy the hotel bed for a little while. It wouldn't take long, right?But... no! Olive wasn't tempted. She mustn't be tempted until she got the most reasonable answer to her destination. Thomas, who felt followed wherever he went, could only laugh. Olive was so much like a child with an extremely high level of curiosit

There might be half of her coffee cup left, and just a few slices of her Red Velvet cake. However, there wasn't much conversation happening between the three of them."So... what's keeping you from talking to me, Pandu?" Seira finally asked. She pulled out a cigarette box, something she didn't indulge in as often these days. Having Robert around often kept her occupied and led her to neglect this habit she used to have. Even though they did spend time together occasionally, puffing on cigarettes."Just wanted to know how you're doing, Seira." Pandu smiled. Since he had confirmed the presence of the red-haired figure, who was now engrossed in selecting something at the far end of the fresh grocery aisle, he had been trying to initiate a conversation. While he did succeed in the end, it turned out to be quite a challenge to make Seira open up."You've already asked that, haven't you?" Seira lit her cigarette. She blew softly, letting the taste fill her mouth. The

Seira wiped away her tears. Her trembling hand held Olive's tiny arm. Olive's bewildered, confused, and uncomprehending eyes looked at her mother. Even though she asked questions, her mother responded with only a faint smile.The Disaster Victim Identification team had identified Tedy's body. It was something Seira could hardly believe. She hadn't forgotten how she'd seen her husband off. But what puzzled her was that two coffins arrived simultaneously with a family she didn't recognize. Their faces resembled those in the vicinity of her home.Her mother-in-law, who had been crying continuously, welcomed them with open arms."Who is it, Ma?" Seira still had questions.Rita seemed to avoid her gaze, but one of their groups approached. She looked to be about the same age as her mother-in-law."I'm Novi. Marrisa's mother."Seira observed carefully, also accepting the woman's handshake because she couldn't yet process what was happening.

Thomas slowly opened the window in his room. The view before him was absolutely breathtaking. It was as if God had created a place this beautiful with all its grandeur. The sea stretched out with its rolling waves, and the breeze was refreshingly cool. And most importantly for Thomas, it was peaceful.Maybe it was because it wasn't peak vacation season, but their resort had no other guests. None at all. Well, there were the staff and the guides who would take them around Sumba. As soon as they arrived, they were offered a welcome drink while being informed about the activities planned during their stay.Olive was the most enthusiastic one, but paradoxically, despite her excitement to explore, she ended up sleeping soundly as soon as they entered their room. It was as if she had just completed days of overtime. Thomas could only smile, puzzled by his wife's behavior.They had arrived in this little paradise around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, right when the sun wa

Olive couldn't resist. She let her body rest in Thomas's arms again, like brDianah style, but unfortunately, without a wedding dress and in her current condition. She even asked Thomas to step forward more slowly because her headache was so excruciating. Not to mention..."Bae, I'm going to..." Before she could make it to the edge of the bed, Olive vomited. Her body was lowered gently, but she wasn't completely released from her husband's grip. However, she felt very guilty for dirtying Thomas, undoubtedly.Olive's gentle strokes were directed at his throat. Her stomach was even more turbulent. Everything she had eaten earlier was expelled. And her stomach felt even worse."Are you feeling better now?" Thomas asked with a slight smile.Olive felt even guiltier. "Your clothes got dirty." She then looked up and grimaced at what had soaked her bedroom floor. "Get a towel or something from the bathroom, Bae. I'll clean it up."Did Thomas comply? Well,

Seira didn't know what to say now. She still held her phone, which had just displayed her daughter's face from the central part of Indonesia. Her eyes blinked in disbelief, then she exclaimed, "Koni!"There was no response from the kitchen area. As far as Seira remembered, Koni wanted to get a drink. They had just finished lunch, and Sofia would be coming soon. They were going to discuss the final concept for Seira's wedding, which was going to be held at Dharmawangsa."Koni!" Seira shouted again. She quickly got up from her seat and hurried over to Koni, her steps impatient."What's going on?" Koni looked at Seira with surprise. "What's up with you?""Olive." Seira grinned widely. "My daughter is pregnant, Ni."Koni looked equally astonished. "Seriously?""Do you think I'd lie about news like this?" Seira smirked. "Just now, Olive video called me. I was going to tease her about her private honeymoon with Robert's work. But... I'm the one wh

Seira smiled broadly. Although Robert wasn't physically present with her, she could imagine his appearance. He was getting more attractive as he aged. He smiled at her with a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Though his face had matured over the years, in Seira's eyes, Robert remained the same man she had known for a long time."Happy about Olive's pregnancy?""Yes," Robert replied quickly."I am happy, indeed. In fact, if Olive still wants to continue working, I could take care of her baby. I'm still skilled, you know.""Rather than running a salon."Seira blinked slowly. "Um... I can manage both."Robert chuckled. "I doubt Olive would want her child to be taken to the salon by you, Seira."The woman sighed in frustration."What was your initial purpose in opening the salon, anyway?" Robert asked as he jotted down a note for Johan, who was standing in front of him. Johan was equipped with numerous documents ready for th

Olive absolutely refuses to lower her blanket. Her shoulders are still trembling a bit, as she's trying to hold back the sobs she just let out while talking to her mother on the phone. She pays no attention to her husband's bewildered expression after hearing her cry just a while ago."Bee," Thomas finally calls out. He's approaching the figure curled up under the blanket, even though it's well into the afternoon. The beach, which had called them to visit, has been completely ignored. Olive's mood has suddenly taken a nosedive."I don't want to talk to you," she says.Thomas flashes a reassuring smile. "Did I do something wrong?""Plenty!"No, Thomas isn't going to force Olive to unveil from her cocoon and drag her to sit down for a chat about what's really going on. Although Thomas is pretty sure that most of her behavior right now is due to the test results the doctor mentioned not too long ago. And that it's likely unavoidable. The

Seira adjusts her glasses again. She wraps Olive to move away from the grave while whispering to pay attention to her steps. She doesn't want Olive to slip, even though the cemetery area is dry. There's nothing to worry about, but still, Seira doesn't want to take any risks.Before she truly leaves the grave of the woman who was once part of her life, Seira says, "I forgive you. Forgive me for not being the prideful daughter-in-law like Marissa, okay? I could only work at home and spend Tedy's money. Yes. That's just how Seira is. May you rest in peace."Olive can't stop staring at the large bowl of beef soup with broth. It contains carrot slices and sprinkles of fried onions and fresh slices of scallions. Olive inhales the aroma emanating from her ordered bowl several times."It's still hot, Bee," Thomas warns."Yeah, Sweetie." Olive grins satisfactorily. "The aroma is so delicious.""This beef soup place is Papa's favorite, Olive," Robert says wi

The gentle breeze brushing against Seira, she doesn't care at all. Her red hair has changed, much darker than the color she used before. But when she could enjoy the result in the mirror's reflection, it turns out to be truly suitable for her face. Koni said she looks much fresher.I don't know. She doesn't take the praise seriously or not. Not that she doesn't want to appreciate it, Koni always praises her every time she wears something new. So, according to her thinking, whatever Seira wears always fits her perfectly. Blessed with a face with a fairly sharp jawline, a pointed nose, and perfectly round eyes, sharply staring at her interlocutors, plus her beautifully split lips, making Seira even at her current age, as if time has stopped near her."I didn't expect you to come too."Since earlier, the man who met Seira right in front of this public cemetery gate didn't talk much. Not that he didn't want to, just greeting seems to be lost somewhere. All he could

"You always want more from me.""Come on." She nudges her husband's back gently. "I'm gonna make some smoothies. You want some, right?""Whatever you make, I'll eat it."Before Robert truly leaves the kitchen area, Seira grabs his arm. This makes Robert furrow his brow. "What's up? Earlier you wanted me to leave for work right away?"Seira's smile widens. She steps closer and when she's right in front of Robert, she gives him a quick peck as a form of encouragement. Unfortunately, Robert isn't content with just getting his lips wet."God, just be enough for his heart. Don't let anyone else break us apart. Make this man the only one who loves me with all his heart. It's only You I ask."***Olive grins widely. Like a lottery winner who just hit the jackpot today. Her eyes refuse to go anywhere else but to the printout of the ultrasound she just had. Even though she's still sitting on the edge of the examination bed. Listening, albeit n

This morning in Sydney, it's been pouring pretty heavily. The droplets drenching the smallest continent in the world have been hitting since last night. The weather forecast says it's better for folks to stay indoors. They're saying there might even be a pretty strong storm hitting. Seira's not bothered, though, about being inside this spacious unit.Two bedrooms and a kitchen area with plenty of food stocks keep her from getting too bored. She actually makes good use of it. She spends a lot of her time doing yoga. She doesn't need a private instructor. She declined because for her, she just needs privacy. Plus, there are plenty of tutorials she can watch on YouTube channels.Unless she's back in Senayan. Maybe the private issue with a special instructor is something she can consider. Honestly, Seira isn't too fluent in English. She can't just say yes or no! Oh God! Just remembering it makes her stomach suddenly cramp.That's why she chooses to be alone. She onl

Thomas's smile widens. "Patience, okay?" He then releases his hold on Olive's face. He chooses to tightly hold his wife's hand, intertwining their fingers, one of which has their wedding ring on."First, you're the most beautiful. This isn't a lie. Among all the women I've been close to, you're the winner." What Thomas says is the truth. Even when she's pregnant, although her belly hasn't grown too much yet, it seems like Olive has gained some weight. Proof is her chubby cheeks.But it doesn't matter. For Thomas, she's even sexier now. Plus, Olive's body is fuller and perfect for cuddling all night long. Even though sometimes he wonders, Thomas still goes along with whatever Olive eats within her control.Her mother says, "You're lucky, Thomas, Olive isn't picky about food. Thank God, Mrs. Giana, you know her, right? Lina? When she was pregnant with her second child, she couldn't eat at all. Had to be on IV. Weak all the time until she became skinny. Pitiful to

Olive pouts. There's really no remedy to coax a smile out of her, even a little. It feels like her heart is wrapped in annoyance and being overly emotional. Well... why not? The day she feared has arrived.Wait.A frightening day? Is there such a thing?For Olive, there are days when she feels like she no longer has Thomas's attention. It's like being in a long-distance relationship, not seeing each other for a long time. Especially not being able to see his face while he's at Senayan. Oh God! Sometimes Olive does tend to overdramatize things, but what can she do? She really feels that way.It's been two weeks since her mother's wedding. Almost every day, Seira keeps her updated, and Olive herself often gets absorbed in gossiping through the airwaves. Even though there are often signal problems, Olive doesn't mind. Proof is, she just enjoys spending a lot of time chatting with her mom, especially after work.She shares a lot with her mother, especi

"Hi, Wife," Robert greets when their eyes finally meet. Full of closeness and intimacy. Even their breaths seem to greet each other's faces."Hi, Husband," Seira replies just as warmly."Finally, today has arrived."Seira smiles tightly."Darling, last night's anger wasn't continued."The woman's brow furrows slightly."If it continues, I won't deny my words about smudging your lipstick.""Why so quiet?" Robert asks, slightly loosening their embrace. "Did I not hug you enough last night?""You're always talking nonsense, aren't you, Ro?" Seira says with a chuckle. "Come on, Johan must have been waiting since earlier, right?"Robert laughs. "When else will I get the chance to see Seira blush again?""Ro!"***Their journey to Sydney was accompanied by several family members, including Olive, whose in-laws also joined to see them off for a while."Don't forget to keep in touch, Mom," Olive says

Robert's departure back to Sydney couldn't be postponed. Besides having many projects that needed to be completed urgently, the man also prepared a special trip for himself and Seira."Nothing left behind, right?" Robert double-checked before they headed to the car Johan had prepared."Nah, I don't think so," Seira replied softly, but her eyes glanced again at the two large suitcases already at the apartment door. Her mind smoothly recalled the contents of the suitcases and what needed to be brought. "I'm pretty sure not," she said with a faint smile."Is Olive coming to see us off?""Yeah, she is," Seira laughed. "Wouldn't want to miss the moment waving goodbye to me, Ro."Robert just smiled thinly. His eyes focused on Seira standing by his side, showing a radiant face just for him. She looked even prettier in Robert's eyes, although he knew this dress she was wearing had been worn before. But it seemed different this

"Delicious or super delicious, Sir," Darius quickly responds. "Olive's taste buds don't know the word 'not delicious'. Everything is delicious to her. That's why inviting Olive to eat is the most fun. Not much comment. Before you know it, her plate is empty."Thomas chuckles. What Darius said is true, isn't it? It's rare to hear Olive comment on the taste of food that's already been ordered. Instead, she says it's a shame if it's not finished. A waste. It's a sin to waste food, she says. Better to go into her stomach.The problem is, no matter how much Olive eats, her body doesn't widen sideways. She remains slim and unchanged. When Thomas first met Olive, his wife rarely exercised. Thomas is confused, huh."Shut up!" Olive glares, not pleased. "Instead of worrying about my appetite, you better tell me what you've tried at the food booths over there. What's good?""If you like Zuppa Soup, I think it's good," Riana quickly says, pointing to the place on th
