Diana closes her eyes tightly. Thomas always sets high boundaries every time he tries to talk. His address and way of speaking are much stiffer. It's nothing like before when they were affectionate, and it makes Diana remember how they used to be in love.
"There are many things I want to discuss, Tom." It doesn't matter if Thomas is like this. Diana has to control herself. She's sure Thomas will come back. Diana is confused about where to start because, in addition to the short time, she also knows this isn't the right place for a lengthy conversation. "Or maybe tomorrow? It might be more comfortable to talk then."
"You're the one who wants to talk, not me. I have no other purpose here except to come and attend your invitat

The sound of the river crashing against the rocks around it creates a serene atmosphere in this cafe. The rustling of branches brushing against the wind blends together to add to the calm ambiance. Embracing an outdoor theme with a natural setting, this place has become a perfect spot to unwind and spend time with a partner.Just like Olive and Thomas."Do you know where this place is from, Bae?" Olive asks curiously. She has finished her Tom Yum soup. Olive is quite hungry because at the party earlier, she didn't touch any food. Don't forget, there are still other snacks on her table that she's planning to devour. She's hungry today and needs to eat a lot."I don't know. I found it spontaneously.""If you hadn't found a place like this, where would you have taken me?""There are plenty of hangout spots around Puncak, Bee. We could spend the whole day exploring."Olive laughs. What Thomas said is true. But she's still curious about one thing

As Olive recalls, she was very sleepy last night. She couldn't resist closing her eyes even though Thomas was driving. The rain pouring in the Puncak area had made the temperature drop significantly. Thomas adjusted the car's air conditioning to raise the temperature a bit so it wouldn't be too cold.Then she comfortably leaned back and... doesn't remember anything.When she opens her eyes, she feels a soft bed with a blanket covering part of her body still clinging to her. Wait a minute. She's not in a hotel, is she? She remembers Thomas saying he wanted to take her to a hotel!"No!!! I don't want to!!!" she shouts loudly, sitting up in shock."Liv?"It's Kalina's voice."What's wrong with you?" Kalina just enters, accompanied by Thomas, who looks worried."What happened?" Thomas asks.Olive immediately scans her surroundings. It's Thomas's room, apparently. She also sees her clothes getting more complete. And Kalina is here t

Diana's hands were clenched tightly into fists."No way," Olive folded her arms across her chest."Then I'll call you myself," said Diana, who quickly stood up from her seat."Call me if you have no shame, Ms. Diana." Olive laughed softly. "Do what you plan to do. Leave your husband and children behind. Satisfy your fantasies about my future husband."Diana turned around, looking at Olive with a look of disbelief. Where the girl seemed to casually talk. Instead of paying attention to her who was now staring intently, Olive was busy playing with the tips of her nails. As if Diana's presence here was no big deal."What do you mean?"Olive chuckled. "Can't you understand what I'm saying, Mrs. Diana? You must be much older than me, right?"Diana gritted her jaw. "I just want to talk to Thomas. I have nothing to do with you!""Obviously there is!" Olive leaned back slightly. "If you forget who I am, it doesn't matter if we get reacq

Thomas couldn't wipe the grin off his lips. Today, he was truly shown how a class act Olive was in the way she spoke, acted, took charge, and declared her ownership. It made Thomas quite smitten, wanting to have a private moment with the girl because he knew there were still lingering feelings in Olive's heart regarding Diana.Unfortunately, they were pressed for time. They couldn't afford to get stuck in traffic on their way back. The Puncak route could be incredibly frustrating when it was subjected to alternating open and closed traffic. Especially on the last day of a long weekend when people were out and about in the Puncak area for recreational activities."Did we forget anything?" Thomas asked once again before Olive got into the car. She was wearing an oversized white shirt with a love head print in blue or something, Thomas didn't really get it. All he knew was that the image was striking on the front. It was paired with knee-length casual pants, and one thing

Thomas just shook his head. He chuckled at Olive's antics earlier. "Your anger is intimidating, Bee," Thomas finally expressed."She brought it on herself, not being self-aware. She should have had three kids by now, with her brain working like that. The sane and normal one.""I didn't expect Diana to be like that either, Liv. Even though it seemed like their marriage was fine." Kalina chimed in. When Diana arrived, she overheard almost the entire conversation, and it made her hair stand on end. Her future daughter-in-law was not a weak woman, it turned out. She had high self-confidence and words that flowed like maximum spiciness chili. Sharp, spicy, and suddenly heated the atmosphere. But Olive said all of that for a reason.Kalina wouldn't blame Olive. In fact, if Diana acted even weirder and more boldly, she would call the head of the neighborhood council. Let everyone know that Diana was the one still thinking about her son. Maybe because this time Thomas b

Seira looked at her daughter with a broad smile, lovingly arranging Olive's strands of hair. This morning, they both woke up early, at the same time Olive was getting ready for work. This time, Seira was the one tidying up her daughter's hair after her shower. She applied hair vitamins as she had often taught Olive to take care of her hair herself. Olive's blonde hair was a masterpiece, carefully chosen to suit her face and complement her skin tone."Mommy's little girl is all grown up. There's someone who proposed." She gently pinched Olive's slightly pointed cheek."Mom, seriously?" Olive pouted. "Don't tease me like that. You're making me sad.""Why sad?" Seira was surprised. After all, she hadn't forgotten what happened last night. Why would Olive be sad now? Sometimes her daughter's words were quite erratic. "But I'm also a bit suspicious. Why did Thomas propose to you so quickly? Did something happen?"Seira wanted to ask last night, but Olive seeme

Thomas's treatment is still the same, no difference at all. He always pays attention to every detail Olive wears, especially her helmet. Until now, he hasn't swapped it for a more comfortable one. It's also enjoyable for him to put on Olive's helmet. To see up close the beautiful face that never ceases to amaze him.This time, they skip breakfast. They have limited time, and they don't want to be late for work, especially on the first day after a long holiday. Olive's hand is tightly held, and they don't care that many people are staring at them."In the afternoon, we'll stop by Plaza Senayan to look for a ring.""Do we really have to go to Plaza Senayan, Bae?" Olive exclaims in surprise. "It's expensive there.""Let it be. I still have enough money to get you the best one there.""You're so fancy!" Olive pouts. "You'll only know how it feels when I've really spent it all!""Well... maybe afterward, we can chill at home, Liv."

Olive frowned but then laughed quite loudly. Occasionally, she glanced at the box near her. "But it's nice, right?""Ask me again if it's nice or not, and I'll break up with you, Liv!" Riana said with annoyance. "I'm tired of hearing him praise the ring all the time. When will I ever get a ring from a guy? When?!" She shouted, ruffling her hair in frustration.This time, Olive returned to her hobby of gossiping with her three friends. While in Bogor, she hadn't thought of contacting them. Instead, she was busy dealing with Thomas's mother. Well... not really. What she meant was, she really enjoyed spending time with her future mother-in-law. It could be said that was the case, right?She had promised to explain everything in detail to her friends, no matter how long their conversation would last. She had to make it clear why there was a sudden engagement next week. The most ridiculous comment came from Darius. He said, "You're not pregnant, are you, Liv? I need

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
