Grasping Longs
Part~222

Time showed at two in the morning, but Olive was still busy working on her script assignments. He had to work all day and at night he could learn.

He wants to finish his studies soon and after that he will return to Indonesia.

The next day....

"I'm so tired." he muttered as he entered the campus.

Actually today he was very lazy to come to campus, but his guidance lecturer told him to enter.

Because incidentally today there is a young entrepreneur and student from one of the universities in his city will be a speaker at the campus.

And the lecturer obligated him to attend the seminar as an additional reference to his scriptural duties.

"Olive's spirit, for a bright future."

Olive seemed to encourage herself when she just entered the hall of the campus, there were many students of her class and her juniors.

"Tumben many are present, just like the president who came." he murmured as he circulated his views.

"Jeez Olive, why it's too late I've secured one seat for you" said Jenifer, Olive's only close friend at the college.

"Thank you, last night I was doing my job almost in the morning." Olive said as she sat on one of the empty benches next to Jenifer.

"Who's this bench by the way ?" again when he saw the empty bench next to him.

"Eh, I-it belongs to professor Oskar." Jenifer seemed to scratch his nape that did not itch.

"What's? you sold me on purpose ?" Olive was suddenly upset.

"Not so Olive, I also woke up late because last night my lover invited clubbing. Last time here all the benches were full but suddenly professor Oskar offered me this bench on the condition that I invite you too." Jenifer seemed guilty.

While Olive could only sigh deeply, professor Oskar was one of the lecturers on her campus.

The 45-year-old widower has liked himself since the beginning of this campus, but always Olive refused. Maybe he was in a relationship with a man his father's age.

But what makes Olive grateful, the man was never rude. Even very good to him, but still he did not want to give hope.

"By the way who is the guest of many tumben speakers who come ?" ask Olive curiously.

Because only this time the seminar on the campus was attended by many students, especially female students and their makeup like going to see a music concert only.

"I don't know either, but according to what I've heard he's a young businessman from Asia and you know he's handsome." Jenifer seemed enthusiastic like his other friends, because he was one of the female students who adored handsome men.

"Have you seen the guy ?" ask Olive.

"Don't you see the poster in front ?" ask Jenifer back.

Olive shook her head. "I went in through the back, it doesn't matter who he is anyway." Olive said, not caring.

"Oh gosh you really fit Mr.Oskar." said Jenifer who immediately got a hard pinch from his best friend.

"Sick, Olive." Jenifer protested with a grimacing face.

"Speaking that way again I mashed your face" Olive was upset, but it made Jenifer chuckle at hearing it because it had succeeded in teasing him.

A few moments later saw some lecturers enter the hall and can be sure the event will start soon.

"Hi Oli, you just came ?" greet the new Mr. Oskar sitting next to Olive.

"Good morning, Mr. Oskar." Olive replied awkwardly.

"If you're both, just call Oskar. Oh yeah, you seem to be sleep deprived ?" said Mr. Oskar staring at Olive.

"A little bit." said Olive, it feels like she wants to escape to Pluto and disappear from the man's sight.

"I'm not welcome, sir ?" jenifer said with a satire.

"Oh yeah good morning Jeni." said Mr. Oskar staring at Jenifer at a glance.

Although the event has begun, Olive seems unable to concentrate on the event. Because Mr. Oskar always invites him to talk and discuss things that are not important.

"Oh gosh, know like this better I continue sleeping at home." Olive grumbled.

"Olive, look at that Mr. Ricko came." cried Jenifer enthusiastically, because one of the speakers who later by the students there, finally appeared as well.

The deg!!

"Ricko's? so he's the young entrepreneur who became the idol." murmured Olive looked at Ricko.

His seat which was in the second row made it easier for him to see the handsome man up close.

The charm of Ricko is undeniable, the man is very handsome like his father when he was young.

His way of speaking was very firm and straightforward, to make all the seminar participants there look festering staring at him.

"When he was our age, yes, but his charm was deeply troubling. Successful people are very different aura, he's like an angel." praise Jenifer admires Ricko.

"Ck, angel. Nowadays there are many angelic-faced demons." Olive sneered, recalling how spicy Ricko's mouth was when he spoke to her at the time.

"Did you say ?" Jenifer immediately glared at his best friend.

"No, forget it." said Olive.

"Thank God you don't admire the man like everyone else." this time Mr. Oskar chimed in, he was delighted to see Olive not interested in Ricko's good looks.

Hearing the lecturer's words, Olive only smiled faintly in response.

"I don't admire him, sir, but I love him." murmured Olive inwardly, wanting to feel like she said that but her lecturer would definitely not believe it.

Meanwhile, when Olive looks familiar with Mr. Oskar, Ricko looks at her cynically.

"Basan cheap, even the lecturer he gaet." muttered Ricko from the stage.

Since he had already known the existence of Olive who was not far from the stage, he did not expect the waiter he met at the restaurant in front of the campus was a student at this campus.

"How can a waitress be able to attend an elite college like this, unless she becomes Om-Om's mistress." he muttered again, for some reason he suddenly felt very upset when he saw Olive.

Ever since seeing his father talking to the girl in the hotel at that time, he had always thought badly of her.

Some time later the seminar was over, but Olive did not get any reference material from the speakers there. Because Mr. Oskar always invited him to talk.

"Oli-Oli, are you angry ?" Mr. Oskar seems to be chasing Olive to the parking lot because the girl looks upset.

"No, I'm just a little upset. You asked me to come to the seminar so I could add references to my thesis work, but throughout the event you were busy inviting me to talk about unimportant things." Olive murmured.

"I'm sorry, later the reference issue will be sent to you." Mr. Oskar looks guilty.

"If it was like that why did you tell me to come? know this better I just work." said Olive annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I just want to feel how dating you are but you always refuse every time I ask." said Mr. Oskar honestly.

"Sir, please understand. I can't accept your feelings, so you better find another woman who really likes you." Please Olive.

"That cannot be Oli, unless you have a new worthy lover I will release you" Mr. Oskar said seriously.

Olive seemed to lose patience because the lecturer never gave up even though he had refused several times.

"So you'll stop bothering me, if I have a lover ?" ask Olive to make sure.

"Forcibly, as long as the man deserves you." said Mr. Oskar.

Hearing the words of his lecturer, Olive seemed to think hard. He had to find a way to stop bothering her.

Suddenly seeing Ricko heading to the parking lot alone and without thinking, Olive immediately approached the man.

"You..." Ricko looked surprised when he saw Olive walking up to him, but he was even more surprised when the girl suddenly tiptoed and kissed his lips.
