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
This was Olive's first time here. The distance from her home in Central Jakarta to this place in Karawaci was quite far. Since getting into the online taxi ordered by her mother, she hadn't said much.Not a word.Even though during breakfast, Olive was still chatting casually, including discussing the event for next Sunday. There wasn't really anything to worry about because her mother and future mother-in-law had prepared everything thoroughly. Aunt Koni herself had lent a helping hand. Ah... Olive was truly touched by all the help she was getting."Where are we, Mom?""What do you see?" Seira asked with a slight grin. Her eyes were fixed on one spot. A place she hadn't visited in a very long time. What for? There was no point."A cemetery," Olive quickly replied."That's right." Seira walked casually past the neatly arranged rows so as not to disturb the existing burial plots. The midday sun was scorching, and Seira had already opened the
Thomas arrived at the office with many glances directed at him. Most of them were filled with smiles and whispers, especially about his profile picture. "Oh, Mr. Thomas is finally officially engaged, huh?" Or, "Mr. Thomas is so affectionate. I'm jealous." Not to mention, "The moment he shows off his girlfriend, he gives her a ring right away, huh, Mr.?" Well, Thomas didn't really care. Everything they said was true, right? So all he could do was smile in response to all of them. Besides, the photo really did turn out well, didn't it? Thinking about the photo of himself putting the ring on Olive's finger, his smile wouldn't fade. Even though he didn't see Olive this morning because she took a day off, at least they had a brief chat before he went to the office on his own. It felt a bit strange, though, Readers. The car ride was quieter too. Thomas had already arranged for someone to drive Olive and her mother to their de
Marta knocked on Thomas' door and entered after being invited. In her hands were reports from the teller and cashier, which she had checked multiple times. She also emphasized the slips and postings made by Dela and Yossie. She didn't want any issues like the ones Dela had caused. Since Olive was on leave today, Marta was filling in, and Thomas was temporarily handling administrative work. Even though there weren't any significant problems, everything still needed to be double-checked. "Have a seat, Marta," Thomas said, motioning for Marta to sit while his eyes continued to focus on the reports. Especially the new credit application submitted by Kiara. "I... I want to congratulate you on the progress of your relationship," Marta said. No, Marta had come to terms with everything. She didn't want to be a home-wrecker. Hopefully, she could find a kind-hearted man who was right for her. There was no point in forcing it; she couldn't find compatibility. He
Once again, Olive took a deep breath. She had no idea how many times she had been hit by nervousness. Her house had been bustling with several neighbors, especially those who knew her mother, coming by since morning just to make sure that the news of Olive's engagement was true, or those who knew Olive well. Most of them had gathered in the multipurpose hall in her neighborhood, which had been transformed because Olive's house wouldn't be able to accommodate all the guests. Blame it on Kalina who casually mentioned that there would be many guests from Bogor! But her mother didn't help with Olive's stress either when she said, "I have guests too. My friends, you know, from all over Jakarta." God! Couldn't Olive's heart behave properly? And now... it was pointless to get angry or complain! Her mother turned out to be even more annoying today, but Olive couldn't deny that she felt a little proud. She was following the instructions given to her and listening to Koni's ad
"Walk, Liv," Riana whispered softly because Olive hadn't moved at all. She seemed like a statue! But if Riana were Olive, she'd be shocked too! The surprise was too overwhelming; it felt like she couldn't breathe. She never expected Thomas, whom she usually heard as stiff and emotionless, to do something so sweet. Olive was truly lucky. Plus, almost all the guests who had come were looking at them with eager anticipation, waiting for them to become official! The universe truly blessed them. If I can place you by my side. Take me with all my weaknesses, And when you're beside me, Never tire of loving me. Thomas approached, extending his hand for Olive to hold, as usual. He gestured quietly to Riana and Yossie so they could return to their seats that were already prepared. They both obediently stepped aside, allowing the two lovebirds to finish their event. "Why don't you want to hold
"I feel trapped, Bae," she whispers after all the commotion, where Thomas realizes his mother's words along with Seira's challenge. They finally sit down together, and Olive takes the opportunity to talk to Thomas, um... can she already call the man sitting next to her husband? Not yet. Olive can't forget the events that took place just two or three hours ago when her future mother-in-law, correction, already became her mother-in-law. Proposing something Olive had never thought of before. Getting married right now! Fortunately, Olive hasn't let go of Thomas's hand. What if she had let go? Her legs might have turned into jelly, her body would have had no strength left to stand, and her heart suddenly stopped. How did the engagement ceremony that Olive thought was a bit excessive turn into a wedding? God! Even if she wanted to deny it with many reasons, Olive also willingly accepted Thomas's proposal this time. There's clear footage of what she just exp
Yeah, there were many parties involved in helping them, including the administrative matters that would be taken care of on Monday. Although there was a lot to adjust, it still left Olive feeling frustrated. Why is it that since Thomas came into her life, she always finds herself trapped? "What did you say earlier?" Thomas asks, leaning back in his chair. Thomas's words bring Olive out of her reverie, though not completely out of her thoughts right now. "I feel trapped," Olive says softly. Like Thomas, she chooses to lean back in the comfortable chair. "I already asked you that, Bee," says Thomas with a chuckle. He gently strokes Olive's neatly arranged hair. "So, are you regretting marrying me now?" "No, not at all," Olive says with a small sigh. She straightens her back again and turns slightly towards Thomas. Her fingers, now adorned with another ring, which she also wants to inquire about but later, after everything is over today.
