2023-12-09 10:00:58Olive found herself in the center of attention now. It wasn't her fault that so many eyes were on her. Besides, why did Marta have to complicate the costume selection? With a feathered hairpin perched high on her head, Olive looked like a medieval noblewoman attending a party. She didn't want to waste money on all the fancy apartments that Marta had offered.
"What a waste of money," she muttered. Even though the reason Olive gave was that she had the right outfit for tonight's gala theme, she didn't want the hassle of renting an apartment and preferred to stick to her style. After all, the dress she was wearing was far from tacky. In fact, it received many compliments.
At Gajah Mada, Sonia rarely chose complicated themes. She always consulted with her subordinates, made fair decisions, and helped prepare everything to make it easier. Different heads, different ideas, indeed.
"Watch out, Liv!" Yossie shouted in surprise as someone rushed towards them.

"Are you sure?" Riana asks with a skeptical look. "I don't really care about your outfit, but it would have been more appropriate with that cardigan earlier.""It just disappeared," Olive grumbles, not taking it well. "And I didn't even bring a spare blazer or jacket. I regret this. I usually bring extra clothes.""What are we going to do now?" Yossie looks panicked. "The event is about to start. Well, it's dinner first, though."Riana sighs in frustration, while Olive is bewildered. She can only pace back and forth aimlessly, not sure what to do. "I'll stay in the room. You guys go ahead," Olive says softly, accompanied by a smile.When she's locked in the bathroom, she panics for a moment and screams for help. Stupidly, she forgot to bring her bag with her phone. She quickly contacts Yossie and Riana, who arrive soon after. The bathroom appears to be locked from the outside, as if it was intentional. But who did this to Olive?"Look

The dinner spread in front of her made Olive lose focus. It was so delicious. She wanted to try everything. Basically, Olive and food were the most perfect collaboration. She wouldn't miss a dinner as delicious as this one. Olive wouldn't mind eating fried chicken from a street vendor, let alone in a place like this."Why just stare? Is something missing? Or do you want ice cream?""Later!" Olive interjects quickly. "That's easy.""Well then, what are you waiting for? Why not just eat?"Olive pouts. "Do you really think I'd be so rude as to start eating while you're getting everything for me? And it's served, too. My life is so good."Thomas laughs. Even though Thomas intended to get all kinds of food, regardless of the portion, he didn't care. He was sure Olive could finish it all. She often had no shame when it came to serving size, especially when it matched her taste. Oh, one more thing, if she was hungry, she never chose the food she wanted.

"Just a little. Consider it a palate cleanser."Olive's lips pout even more."I waited in line for you, you know.""Who asked you to?""Eat." This time, Thomas doesn't playfully push Olive. "Or do you want me to feed you?""Are you being silly, sir?" The girl pouts, unwillingly accepting the small plate of salad. Not too much. Everything is just right, but Olive is still somewhat full. The effects of holding back her anger and frustration from someone mischievously locking her in the bathroom. What was the point of that, anyway?Who on earth would do something so foolish?Perhaps because her frustration has built up so much, Olive eats with a pout on her face. She stabs her fork into the salad a bit roughly, creating quite an annoying sound."What's wrong? Is the salad not good?"Olive blinks. "Uh... it's good, actually. Really good. I like the watermelon slices. So refreshing. Didn't you take any?""It's gone," T

Olive had lost count of how many times she had rolled her eyes because of Darius and Riana's singing and humming loudly in the backseat. Oh, not to forget Yossie, whom Olive had tried to seat between her two noisy friends, but she had also joined in the deliberately created excitement.Darius said, "Let's not make it quiet. Besides, Mr. Thomas didn't object, right, sir?"Thomas was asked, and his response was just a smirk. He even agreed and slightly increased the volume of the car's audio. That only fueled Olive's irritation further. Her arms had been crossed over her chest for a while now."Just enjoy the moment, Liv," Thomas said with a chuckle. "They're having fun. They're not uptight and know their place. Besides, this is outside the office, so it's fine if they're relaxed like this.""Annoying, you know that, sir," grumbled Olive."Why don't you just say you want to be alone with me but can't because they're here? Isn't that it?"Olive

"Quoting your speech, you have to do the job responsibly," Thomas says with a grin. "I'm curious about how you take responsibility, Liv.""Mr. Thomas, don't make me more scared, please," Olive complained."That's why I immediately got a license to approach you, Rin."Olive pouted. "That's a different matter.""Huh? In front of others, they consider us a couple. Isn't it true? How long do you want to keep pretending? I can't stand lying all the time. I'll do it just for you."Olive's shoulders drooped even more."Or do you prefer me being close to Marta?""Ih, Mr. Thomas, you have no idea what triggered Olive to come down yesterday," Riana quickly interjected. Olive immediately turned her head and looked at her friend intently. Her heart began to beat irregularly because Riana was more than just a secret revealer, unlike Dela. Riana's role here was not to bring Olive down."What do you mean?""It's because of Dela's Whats

"Mom," Thomas called out. This time, he sat down comfortably while propping himself up. Talking to his mother on the phone was always fun, even though he had to ask this and that, including health and her daily life back in their hometown. Sometimes Thomas wanted to visit his mother there, with a sudden surprise. Just to avoid her persistent complaints about not being visited by Thomas.Like now.Since he entered the apartment, his phone had been ringing loudly. His mother's name appeared on the screen, and he immediately answered it. He didn't want to be disobedient by not responding to her calls. Don't worry, Thomas was in the living room. He hadn't even gone to the bathroom yet to change his clothes."Did you hear Mom's words, huh?""I heard, Mom," Thomas chuckled. "Until Mom wants to eat beef soup in Kauman’s market, right? I heard all of Mom's stories. The other day, Mom went to the doctor with Mrs. Ginem. Two days ago, Mom attended a religious

Thomas fell silent again."You're financially stable, mature for your age, and above-average looking. But if Olive's mother has already said that, what else can be concluded other than Olive already having a fiancé? Maybe you just don't know yet, Tom."His mother's words left him in doubt. But what could he do when his body betrayed him? He and his motorcycle were now in front of Olive's house. As soon as he realized it, he grabbed his phone to let the girl know he had arrived.Not long after, Olive came out of her house. She had a annoyed look on her face, and her mouth was purposely pushed forward a few centimeters. Not to mention her steps, deliberately stomping in irritation. But in Thomas's eyes, Olive's face this morning shone as brightly as the morning sun. It was not only warm but also showed a unique enthusiasm.People in love were different, huh? Just like Thomas. Everything looked beautiful to him."Good morning, Liv," Thomas gree

Late at night, after Thomas had dropped off Olive from the gathering."Sit here, Liv," her mother commands. A cigarette still lingers in her hand, and the smoke is still wafting, accompanied by a half-full coffee cup. Her mother claims that smoking without coffee doesn't feel right, though Olive can't quite fathom the correlation.She's not a fan of either of those things. She's a bit puzzled, to be honest, why her mother is so fond of smoking and drinking coffee. But her face still glows, shimmers, and looks naturally beautiful. Supposedly, cigarette smoke can make wrinkles more visible, but not for her mother. What's her secret, anyway?"Mom, aren't you working?" Olive asks with a hint of suspicion. It's already eight in the evening. Her mother is usually getting ready to head to the café to make some money."I took the day off today."Olive's brow furrows. "I know your schedule. Today isn't a day off." She takes a seat beside her mother. The evening breeze that's been playing with

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
