Love As Dosed?
The Malvin Story 47

***

Honestly, at first Olivia did not want to stop by to visit Malvin after returning from the office, but her feelings were a little uncomfortable, finally with a feeling of half-willingness and unwillingness she decided to stop by the hospital. He tried to convince himself that he only needed to see the man for a while and then go home.

Call him stupid or whatever, he doesn't care. Rather than later he had already arrived at the apartment and was not calm and had to bother looking for a taxi to the hospital. Then it would be very inefficient.

Cklek!

Malvin's room door opens. Olivia's body immediately pecked that second when she saw Malvin was hugging a beautiful woman. There is a feeling of jealousy and also not accept when he saw the man hugged by a woman he did not know. Unknowingly his palms clenched.

"Mas," call Olivia in a voice that sounds like a sizzling person.

"Liv."

Malvin called back with his panicked face and immediately stood up. The man did not make a sound after her and it made Olivia a little upset. Why didn't Malvin try to explain something to her? What does their unclear relationship mean to the man at all?

Realizing the less pleasant nuances Yasmin chose to step aside.

"Vin, since you have another guest I go home first."

Malvin nodded. "Thank you, look at me."

"It's okay, mopping up, yeah."

The man nodded back. "Be careful."

Yasmin nodded and greeted Olivia as if she had just walked out of the room.

After Yasmin left, both Olivia and Malvin were silent. No one starts the conversation. This made Olivia feel extremely disappointed.

"You don't want to explain anything, Mommy?" todong Olivia in the end.

His patience began to thin when he had to face this man. Olivia felt like she was starting to not stand it.

"Without you being clear, I know that this woman is not the one being said, right?"

Malvin nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"Who else is he, Mommy?"

"Name Yasmin. Ailee's sister who had the same accident as me, the woman who was named yesterday."

Olivia seemed dissatisfied with the man's answer. "Keep your relationship?"

"She's the woman who made me fail to move on, which I told you about."

Shock, of course, Olivia felt like she had just been struck by lightning in broad daylight. He was not even able to speak now, his tongue was a mute. All he can do now is cry.

"I'm sorry, Liv," Malvin regretted in a desperate tone.

Instead of feeling better, Olivia felt even more devastated. His cry broke, now that he was not even able to support his body anymore, both his legs felt limp. He took a squatting position while covering his face using both hands.

"You know what, Mom? What are you doing now that is evil, why should you involve me between your complicated relationships? Why, Mas?"

"Because I want to move on from Yasmin, Liv? Can't you help me?"

Olivia shook her head firmly. "No, Mom, I can't. I told you right from the start, I don't want to love alone."

"But I can learn to fall in love with you, Liv, you can help me."

"You mean?"

"We should never have tried it in the first place." Olivia tried to brace herself and stood up, "let's stop before it gets too far, Mas!" continued later.

Malvin shook his head quickly. "Liv, I-I"

"I can't, Mom. Please respect my feelings, this will not be easy for me. We can stop when the feelings that I feel are not too far away, it's better than trying to force each other and end up hurting each other."

This time Malvin was unable to speak anymore. It should not be selfish and only attach importance to its own feelings. At least he had to put the feelings of this girl he had let down.

"I'm sorry" said Malvin, filled with regret. His eyes looked frustrated and desperate, "you really, I'm a real bad guy because he selfishly involved you in my complicated story. I'm really sorry, Liv, you can hate me this late, but promise me one thing, same thing, you should be happy this over. Meet a good man who can love you sincerely. Sorry I can't be that guy."

Olivia's getting sobby. This is not the end of the story he wanted. He thought he had found the man, but he was wrong. He was even more injured this time.

"Cepet's cured, Mas, and let's not see this abis again."

Without protest, Malvin nodded in agreement. Maybe that's the best way for both of them to lead better lives.

"Thank you for the time we spent together, even though we couldn't end up together, but I'm happy with the time we spent together." Malvin looked at Olivia with his intense gaze, "Liv, may I hug?"

The woman quickly nodded firmly. It was seen that both of his eyes were swollen.

Malvin nodded in understanding. "No papa, I won't make it."

"Thank you for the short time, Mom. Get well soon and graduate specialist, yes. After I get out of this room, let's be strangers together."

Although a little disappointed, Malvin in the end still nodded and agreed.

***

Her feelings felt hollow and empty after the woman completely walked out of her hospital room. He was sad but Malvin wasn't crying. He was even able to smile bitterly afterwards. There was a slight relief because now he did not have to feel guilty towards the girl.

It seems he needs Ayana to cheer him up. So he decided to contact his best friend.

Without waiting for a long time, his call was instantly answered.

"Yes? Can't I help you, bro?"

Malvin let out a long breath and sounded heavy. "I think I need a hug, Na."

I heard a crisp laugh from across. "Sorry, bro, if this is like you need my first phone call. Here's my guy."

Malvin laughed. "No papa, I like a challenge. Ready me if such as ntar beaten by a man, as long as you come here first continue to hug me. I don't think I need anything but that."

"Vin, Are you okay?"

This time Malvin smiled bitterly. "It seems that if I'm okay I won't call you and ask for a hug anyway?"

"Yes too, yes, if I wait, yes. I'm not going, go back there again, but first, this is because there are patients coming in. I can't possibly unplug that."

"Okay, I'm waiting for you."

Clik. Ayana immediately turned off her phone connection just like that, while she was only able to stare nanar at her cellphone which was now in her grasp. Why does it feel like it has to be this hot?

Tbc,
