And especially with Yossie, who seemed to be serious when annoyed, irritated, and had the urge to scratch someone.
And that person was just grinning for no reason!
"Sorry, Yossie. I didn't mean to." Andre smiled widely and extended his hand as a gesture of apology. That face, man, it was already cute, and combined with this adorable way of apologizing. It made Olive want to take him home, you know?
What on earth was Olive thinking? God! Give Olive a little sanity so she doesn't go crazy over this weird Andre. Yossie's been cursing nonstop since earlier.
No, that wasn't it. Olive felt that Andre was seeking Yossie's attention. After Marta introduced Andre, for some reason, the deputy branch head got permission to leave the office. He looked a bit tense; Olive heard it was something urgen

Robert observed every item that Seira picked up and placed in the shopping cart. He was somewhat puzzled about why Seira was buying so much this afternoon."Aren't you only planning to make beef ribs soup?" Robert asked, voicing his curiosity. "Why are there cooking oil and tissue paper here?"Seira remained silent."Syrup too. What's it for?" Robert was still trying to engage her in conversation. Since their return from lunch, Seira hadn't uttered a word. Even when he got close to trigger her emotions, she remained like a statue. Usually, Seira hated it when he approached and kissed her without any reason.But earlier?To be honest, Robert was a bit afraid. What did he do wrong?It's not that. After they bid farewell to his mother, Seira had been so affectionate with him, accepting hugs from his mother. They weren't usually like that."Seira," Robert called once more. "Are you angry?"Seira focused on choosing the brand of sug

Nathan tapped the end of his pen on the table, creating a rather annoying noise in the quiet room. His eyes remained fixed on nothing but the CCTV footage of the house he sometimes stayed in. Sometimes, he watched it closely, at times staring in disbelief. What's even crazier, Nathan smirked briefly, and then burst into laughter like a madman."This, well, is a drop-dead gorgeous performance," Nathan said, as he rubbed his CCTV screen.Ever since he met Seira, Nathan couldn't help but think about the red-haired woman. She had suddenly entered his life and Naina's. Was this God's way of answering his prayers for a soulmate? It sure seemed like it. After Seira's return, who didn't want a ride from him and acted cold towards him, he asked Parjo for all the information he could get about her.It's unlikely his driver and trusted aide didn't know anything about Seira."Yes, Sir. She first met Miss Naina at Thamrin City.""Why was Naina there?" Nathan as

Thomas had sighed who-knows-how-many times. His in-laws, Olive, and the man he had just met as his father-in-law's friend and boss had successfully left him feeling helpless. Okay, Thomas would tell one by one what happened once he entered the boarding house.As he knew, Olive was overjoyed to find out her mother was still there. She even promised a special homemade dinner. Olive's smile never faded throughout the journey back. Although, yeah... it gave Thomas a stomach ache because of her confusing analogies.That was because of a phone call from his mother in Bogor."Anyway, if I get pregnant, you're responsible! I don't want to deal with a baby!!!"Ugh! Olive's statement was truly a test for Thomas.And that wasn't all, because as soon as he came home and Olive happily stepped out of the car, they were surprised by the pile of groceries in the corner. Meanwhile, his in-laws ruled the kitchen. No, Thomas didn't mind the messy kitchen. In fact, he

Kalina, Seira, and three of Olive's friends. Oh, and one more, of course. The new guy who always teases Yossie until she gets annoyed and frustrated but can't refuse. Andre is truly remarkable! So, on this Saturday morning, Thomas and Olive's apartment is filled with just their voices.Their intention for coming is to help Olive prepare for the reception that will take place in less than three weeks. Although they had a rough discussion with the wedding organizer two days ago, the final details have yet to be determined. Well... even though Olive isn't overly fussy, it turns out that everyone gathered here is the troublemaker."I think Aunt Koni should be the makeup artist. It's good, you know. I like it. I look so pretty," Riana praises with sparkling eyes."You're beautiful because of the makeup, proudy," Darius sneers while flipping through each sample of the invitation template."Ugh! Why don't you mind your own business!"Darius chose to turn

Yossie just nods. This is Olive's event, but why is she bothering herself? Well, for Yossie, Olive is more than just a coworker. They've leveled up to being friends. That's why she doesn't mind being bothered like this. She's actually quite happy, especially when she gets to hang out with Riana and Darius. When else would that happen? Even if she has to be constantly followed by Andre. Ugh, that kid is such a bother!"Now, for the other invitations, just use this one. It's more practical," Olive points to the beautiful black mugs."Done then for the souvenirs." Yossie double-checks her list."What about the bridesmaids?" Riana interrupts. "Your big day is just around the corner. Don't let those dresses go unprepared. I'll be mad!""Mom's got that sorted," says Kalina, making everyone turn towards her. "Mom's friends are coming here. They'll take your measurements and let you choose the models you like. The ones in Bogor have already been prepared; it's ju

The man adjusted his shirt, looking in disbelief at the building where his journey had led him this evening. The deafening music that made his heart race was already audible. Other visitors who were starting to arrive seemed relaxed and oblivious to their surroundings.Nathan grinned, "Is this Olive's mom's workplace?" Then, he let out an annoyed sigh. "If it weren't for Naina, I really wouldn't want to enter a place like this. I'd prefer a private party." Unfortunately, his grumbling didn't deter him from his mission.He had to go inside to make sure the woman he met for the first time in the hospital and requested her time to meet Naina really worked here. Nathan thought that if it was true that Olive's mother worked here, it wouldn't be difficult to get her to leave, would it? Consider it a booking.Nathan chuckled at his previous thoughts. He walked into the building without hesitation, and as soon as he stepped inside, the music overwhelmed him. At a glance

Seira furrowed her brow when she found a little kid sitting in the front chair. She had placed it there to welcome guests who might come to visit. Usually, she would use it to sit and enjoy her cup of coffee and her cigarettes."Who's that, Seira?"The woman turned and smiled faintly. "There's only one child brave enough to do this with me, Ro."Robert raised an eyebrow. "If it's too disruptive, make sure to give your warning, Seira."Seira immediately nodded. "I will. Because this child also made Olive angry yesterday."Robert gently patted Seira's back as he followed her every move, especially as she approached the little girl who appeared to be asleep there."Parjo," Seira called without needing to turn around. She was sure that the man would never be far from her little mistress."Yes, Mrs. Seira.""What is Naina doing here?" she asked with her arms folded across her chest. Her eyes fixed on the girl who was now squirming a

"So, are you serious, Tom?" Matthew asked while placing the wedding invitation he had just received. This was the last time he inquired about Thomas's decision. It wasn't because of the wedding invitation he had just received, dear God, no. That was a different matter. In fact, Matthew was delighted that he had finally received an invitation from his hardworking junior."Dead serious, Sir," Thomas said with a confident tone. It had been two weeks since he had a significant meeting with his boss, where there was a lot of persuasion involved to get Thomas to stay. Even the salary negotiation had left Thomas breathless. But he had made up his mind.His mother always told him that determination and unwavering belief in anything he chose to pursue were signs from God to bless his life. So, Thomas had no doubts when he decided to continue working at Savefund Senayan, even if it meant moving to the headquarters. Bachelor didn't understand why he hesitated."Okay, if th

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
