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
Nothing had changed in Thomas's activities on the fourth floor. He checked and reviewed loan applications, occasionally talked to crucial clients when there were complaints. Because when they filed objections, it usually affected other applications, which would then impact their targets. And one more thing, the CCTV that showed the counter area always appeared on the main screen. It had been intentionally moved to a larger section so that Olive's face could be seen more clearly. Even though they weren't in the same room, and he couldn't constantly watch Olive, this CCTV played a significant role in helping him. It also made Thomas chuckle before refocusing on the stack of applications on his desk. However, as he was only checking two applications, his phone vibrated softly. Thomas wanted to ignore it, but what if it was urgent? [CS Somerset: Good afternoon, Mr. Thomas. We inform you that the VVIP room service at our hotel is now available for booking. Regarding your
At the age of twenty-three, Olive had never been to a premier cinema like this. Right from the start, the privileges and the luxurious setting were evident. Guided to exchange the tickets, Olive looked at the tickets in her hand several times. "It's like an envelope with a love letter inside, Bae," she said, giggling. She couldn't bear to let go of the luxurious black and gold envelope. "Love letters aren't black, Bee," Thomas chuckled. He gently put his arm around his wife as they walked. Olive was too fascinated by the spacious room and the large screen in front of her, which was different from the regular theaters she used to visit with Darius and Riana. "Which seats are ours?" "It's over there," Thomas pointed out, choosing seats that were right in the middle of the room. "This is really exclusive, isn't it, Bae?" Thomas chose to smile faintly. "Have you been here before? Maybe with your ex?" "Not yet." Thomas asked Olive t
"Is this all your stuff, Bee?" Thomas confirmed. This was the last box going into the trunk of his car. Olive's large suitcase was already placed in the back seat of his car. The boxes Olive pointed out were about five, and they seemed enough to be placed in the room they would occupy later. Today was a bright Saturday morning when Thomas officially brought Olive to live in his apartment. Next week, their agenda would be to visit Thomas's house, which was still under renovation. And today, Thomas took Olive to spend some quality time together. "Yes," Olive emerged from her room. She was wearing a soft violet chiffon blouse with a bow accent in front. Her tight black jeans came down to her calves, creating a very sweet ensemble. Not to forget one thing that made Thomas lose focus. Olive's eyes had turned purple! Matching her outfit. It didn't really bother Thomas, but Olive looked incredibly cute. So cute that he almost didn't want other people to see her. But
