Olivia placed the blanket on Abhimanyu's body, who fell asleep after a long period of silence. They had been together for many years, therefore Olivia memorized Abhimanyu would sleep more if she had a lot of thoughts.
Olivia's gaze momentarily glued to Abhimanyu's face. His hands were outstretched, removing the children's hair that had fallen on his forehead.
Sometimes, Olivia forgot for years she accompanied the steps of this man. But Olivia knew it was too long ago that she was well aware that she was an out-of-grasp existence despite being in the circle of her life.
"I giniin when you wake up, you must be kel." Olivia rubbed Abhimanyu's forehead. "But if Rara, you ask."
Perhaps the only reason why Olivia became the woman who survived on Abhimanyu's side .. was because Olivia had never been loved by her. Olivia never scared Abhimanyu if he got hurt. At least, not as much as her fear of Juwita and Rara.
"Gue knew Rara's feelings the most from anyone, Abhimanyu." Olivia pulled her hand from the man. "Gue who knows best wants you to exist but you never exist."
Olivia took a deep breath, exhaling it slowly. Without a sound the woman wandered from Rose's room, letting the two of them rest because tomorrow maybe they should take a long trip.
But before that ... Olivia has to go see Rara.

"Say the others."
Rara wasn't surprised at all at midnight like this Olivia secretly asked her to meet. Everything about Abhimanyu must have been known to Olivia. Including about Rara's request about children.
"Gue doesn't need anything else" replied Rara flatly. "You palace, you want a mountain of gold, I don't want to."
Olivia breathed. He pulled a cigarette out of his expensive cigarette box, lit a lighter and burned the tip of the cigarette. A few seconds later, smoke filled the air around Olivia's face.
"I thought you were a good fit for Abhimanyu" he said.
"So that means it's not now?"
"Lo can't understand him anymore."
Rara silently clenched her hands. "Abimanyu said he didn't ask for anything."
"Because you can't understand. Why do you ask people who do not understand to understand?"
".... It's my right, Olivia." Rara closed in, trying to control herself. "Abimanyu wants to leave me and instead I understand him, I can ask for anything. Now that's what you want to do, too?"
"Lo want to fight suffering?" reply Olivia calm, but had made Rara stuck. "Lo wants to get miserable? Fine, I'm ladenin. Put the ear well."
"...."
"Gue nemenin Abhimanyu is far, far away before you are in his life. From before Sakura, from before she really went crazy, I always wanted her. He came to me, ventured his feelings to Juwita through me, kept going again to mess with other people. So hurt, he came back to me, asked me to comfort him, kept him going again, bodo very much about me."
"...."
"As soon as he gets married to cover up his feelings for Juwita, you think he chose me? Notwithstanding. She's looking for another girl who thinks she looks like Juwita, but once she's done, she feels it doesn't look like her and comes back to me."
"...."
"She's gone from home, she's trying to change because of Juwita's guilt, she left everything from her past except what? Except me. He took me to the life of him who collapsed, make me keep there squirming everything until I don't want to I also have to join the rake."
"...."
"Have he ever chosen me? Ever, once, did he feel like he should be the same as me? You think you ever?"
"...."
"Never." Olivia chuckled as she let out cigarette smoke from her mouth. He laughed but his body seemed to tremble as if holding back a cry.
"Lo is only four years old, even married, even then loved, it was also done with his family, it was taken care of, it was still thought, it was never done impingement, it was chosen as if a very special loo, really, even then make him dream lo many times, even when he was poor he still mengisain treasure for lo, it was also guaranteed the same state class protection— and you still moan? Still suffering the most?"
"...."
Rara bit her tongue hard. He couldn't get back at Olivia. Because his words were justified by his heart. But Rara still wants to be selfish.
"It's not just you who have feelings. In Abimayu's world, in the world of people who want it, all are not as simple as he wants to be the same so he tries to be the same lo. Abhimanyu, if you dare to macem-macem aja, all the people he loves including elo will be killed-killin like cockroaches. That's why he doesn't dare to macem-macem, but elo, with all the charges lo to him, a pile of selfish misery lo, still dares to ask for something? You know you're more dregs than Dian who demands money?"
Rara's breath hunts, but in the end she manages to bite her tongue and does not retaliate Olivia.
Maybe Rara is actually afraid that if Olivia talks more, she will be cornered. Rara just wanted to say, "Abimanyu sent it all, Olivia."
Olivia looked a bit squeaky, though then she nodded. "Fine, if you're still selfish. That's your personal right."
"...."
"But I give you a warning. Children lo ... get ready to squirm the child lo nyesel already born. If I'm old until the time of your son nyesel, I will tell him 'don't mistake your papa, but wrong your mama who only thinks of her own feelings, if you want to ask for responsibility, but, ask him because your father has done everything'."
Rara held her breath.
"May the boy not just give him to eat with affection" muttered Olivia as she moved on. "It's also about thinking about his future. Lo belom be a mama but I can say: you're the worst old man in the world."

"Should you say that?" said someone who made Olivia's move stop.
The woman looked back, finding Banyu leaning against one of the parked cars not far from Olivia's car.
Like he eavesdropped on everything.
"Gue doesn't like to talk about who suffers the most. Everyone has their own sufferings, lo, Rara or Abhimanyu." Banyu walked over. Stop in front of him. "But you have to judge Rara would be bad if she had a child?"
"...."
"He did what he could. He does not understand. Who but you can understand Abhimanyu's life, Liv? Only you who he allowed to live his life, clearly you are the most understanding. But Rara tried to."
".... Mother." Olivia looks up. Though the sky was dark, but Olivia put on sunglasses just to cover up the fact she was crying. "Gue knows the pain the most .. I want him to stop."
"...."
"He can still change something in his life, different from me, different from Abhimanyu. But if he had kids, it'd be too late."
Banyu was silent. Quite a long moment of silence looked at the emptiness of their inn night.
And so sure of what he was thinking, Banyu said, "I'll take care of you."
"...."
"Rara .. I'll take care. He's not gonna squirm the hell you said."
Olivia. ".... Do you take care of Kisa diem?"
Banyu jerked. "Tau from mana—"
"It's up to you what you want. You want to take care, you want to biarin, it's up to you."
From now on, it's up to them.
Olivia said what she had to say.
