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.
"Events like this always make me tired," Seira complained while adjusting her batik skirt. There was no difficulty while she walked because the skirt's slit was high enough to reach her mid-thighs. The heels she wore weren't a problem either; although pointed and looked menacing, know that Seira was used to mastering the party floor in shoes like these. "But you like it, don't you?" Koni asked mischievously. "I thought it was the mother who got proposed to, eh... but the daughter first." Seira just sighed quietly. "I have no request to get married again in my life, Ni." "You can't do that. Besides, once Olive moved in with her husband, talking about this Thomas guy, I wonder where Olive found him. He's quite a handsome guy, not to mention how gentle he is. You can really see how much he adores her. The type of guy who's madly in love with his wife." Seira gently tugged at the corner of her lips. Her happiness wasn't just for show. Today, she was exper
Pandu was taken aback. Although he hadn't seen his former sister-in-law for a long time, he didn't turn a blind eye to social media. Even though it took some effort, he at least knew that Seira and Olive were fine. He appreciated Seira's decision not to return to her family after what her brother did. Pandu didn't blame Seira at all, even though occasionally their extended family, especially their mother, was annoyed because they couldn't meet their only granddaughter. Until now, Pandu hadn't gotten married. Not because he didn't want to, but seeing how their family was formed, he felt traumatized. Especially the actions of his beloved and caring sister, who betrayed the woman he considered unreachable. Leaving a wound that Seira would bear for a lifetime. Even now, Pandu could still clearly see that disappointment was present, and it was enormous. Of course, right! At Seira's home, they were waiting patiently with the adorable little Olive who was now her focus. Som
Since Olive had the day off today, she woke up late. Well... when else could she enjoy waking up late without any other disturbances except for the alarm that she immediately silenced? Her eyes were still heavy, her body felt like it had been beaten by villagers, and she felt like her sleep the previous night was severely lacking. "You still don't want to get up, Liv?" Seira's voice sounded faint in Olive's ears. She pulled the blanket and her pillow closer and turned to face the other side of her bed. "It's already nine o'clock," Seira continued. "You said you had a lot of paperwork to take care of. You also want to go to Thomas's house, right?" Seira approached Olive and pushed aside the blanket that her daughter was clutching. "Get up!" "Mama, oh, I'm still sleepy." "How can you be so lazy when you're already someone's wife?" Seira couldn't believe her daughter's behavior this morning. Seira knew that Olive must be tired, but there were so many thi
Olive was left to return to the kitchen to get her meal. If they set off and Olive's stomach was still empty, Thomas could be sure he would need to swallow a lot of patience pills. Besides many irritating things happening, Thomas was also getting a headache because of Olive's hunger. "So, what are your plans for living together?" "In a week, Mom. There are a few things that need to be adjusted first, in case Olive isn't comfortable." He started sipping the coffee Olive made. Even though Thomas knew she just poured it and brewed it, maybe because Olive made it, it still tasted good. Seira seemed to nod in understanding. "After we meet Mr. Rusdi, I'll drop Olive off at the apartment. Mom will be there. Let Olive decide how she wants things. Next week, I'll move Olive." "Next week, Bae?" Olive asked while bringing a plate of rice with side dishes. "You said tonight. Changed your mind?" Thomas shook his head. "There are things I need to mo
Thomas still picked up Olive on his motorcycle, not only for time efficiency but also because he didn't want to miss moments of closeness with Olive. They had breakfast together at the place Olive chose to fill not only their stomachs but also their hearts. Hearts? Yes, indeed! While chewing their food, Thomas also filled his spirit by observing every detail of his wife, who had so many quirks. "Yah!" Olive sighed in disappointment. "It's still an hour away, Bae," she said with a disappointed expression. Her helmet visor was raised, her eyes were full of excitement as she was heading to her favorite chicken noodle place. Well... now it's all gloomy. Plus, her lips protruded five centimeters because she couldn't get what she wanted right now! She really wanted to taste it; you know? Oh God! Why did Thomas keep thinking about Olive's lips all the time? Whose fault was it that those lips were like a tornado at the center of a big storm in Thomas's life? And with
