Love Olivia

Love Olivia
PRESENTIMENTS


"Who are you?" Rumi asked as she stared alternately at Olivia and Youbel.


"I'm Youbel, your schoolmate and we're both members of the school's basketball team" said Youbel, who only gave Rumi a flat expression.


"Sorry I don't remember!" Answer Rumi lirih.


"And I'm not playing basketball now" Rumi continued.


"Yes! I don't play basketball either" Youbel pulled both shoulders.


"If you? Her boyfriend?" Rumi asked Olivia.


"Yes! She's my boyfriend!" It was not Olivia, but Youbel who answered Rumi's question.


"I don't remember either" Rumi said again.


"I told you!" Olivia was whispering to Youbel, and Rumi's facial expression looked displeased now.


"You can go now! Thank you for visiting me," said Rumi Ketus, turning his wheelchair and back into the room. Rumi immediately slammed the door of the room, without caring for Youbel and Olivia who were still standing in front of the room.


"So, you guys are really dating?" Ruby asked who apparently heard Youbel's confession to Rumi earlier.


"Yes, actually I wanted to announce it a few months ago during a farewell event" Youbel said at length.


"Congrat!" Ruby only smiled faintly and the girl's face still looked sad. Olivia doesn't know why Ruby. Maybe it still has something to do with Ethan who's out of nowhere now.


"We're going home now, Ruby!" Pamit Olivia ended up on Ruby who just nodded. Ruby escorted Olivia and Youbel to the terrace of Attala's residence, and waved at Youbel's car that had driven away.

"Why did you stop playing basketball?" Olivia's question opened the conversation after Youbel's car drove through the streets of the city. Olivia still remembers her confession to Rumi earlier about her no longer playing basketball. Of course Olivia was shocked, because youbel and basketball were two things that could not be separated.


"It's tired" replied Youbel lying.


What really happened, Youbel could no longer play basketball because his body balance became chaotic. Not to mention Youbel's body that gets tired easily because of that damn tumor.


"Can you be bored too? I thought you wouldn't get tired of playing basketball" Olivia chuckled and Youbel chuckled, though she still felt unwilling to part with the orange ball. Youbel once dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player and being able to play for a basketball club. Tali looks like Youbel must indeed bury his dream deeply.


Now youbel's dream is one, to recover and escape from this damn tumor, and live happily with Olivia.


"Where are we going?" Ask Olivia next.


"Where do you want to go for a walk? The mall? Watching it? Or to the airport see the plane?" Youbel asked back and gave Olivia a number of options.


"To the city airport," replied Olivia quickly who suddenly ran over at her wonderful moment with Youbel at the city airport on graduation day a few months ago.


"Okay, ready!" Youbel immediately drove her car towards the city airport, and it didn't take long, they had arrived at the place they used to hang out as well.


"I bought them all" reported Youbel who had approached Olivia who was now standing in front of the car, leaning on the front hood.


"So, no one knows where Ethan is now?" Youbel asked open the chat, and Olivia immediately shook her head.


"Ethan didn't say anything" Ruby said.


"If I lose my memory as well as Rumi's, will you still accept me with a chest?" Youbel asked suddenly which immediately made Olivia turn her head and stared inexplicably at the young man in front of her.


"Why talk like that?"


"I'm just a fool." Youbel sniffed both his shoulders. Although it is undeniable that there is currently a fear in Youbel's heart if one day Youbel has to lose her brain memory due to a damn tumor lodged in her head.


The doctor had indeed explained at length to Youbel about the bad things that Youbel might experience in the future.


"Just wondering? You should be wondering about positive things and not even imagining bad things like that!" Olivia told Youbel at length.


"Speak is prayer!" Continue Olivia again, this time making Youbel mangosteen.

One year later,


Clunting!


The spoon in Youbel's hand suddenly slipped off as the young man was enjoying dinner with Mom Karin.


"Youbel, what's wrong?" Ask Mom Karin worried. The middle-aged woman quickly walked over to Youbel who was still frozen.


"Youbel's hands are numb, Mom," said Youbel, still trying to move her hands with all her might. But still it didn't work.


"We're going to the hospital"


"No!" Sela Youbel refused Mom Karin's invitation.


"Youbel is healed! That damn tumor can't grow anymore!" Youbel's face began to look terrified.


"We go to the hospital first to make sure, Youbel!" Firmly Mom Karin while yelling at the maid to help her bring Youbel into the car.


But when just arrived on the porch of the house, Youbel suddenly convulsed, until finally the young man fainted and unconscious.


"Youbles!"


****


Pyaaaar!


Olivia gasped in shock, when suddenly the glass in her hand escaped and fell to the floor, then broke into pieces.


"Via, careful!" Beware of Mama Audrey who hastily told Olivia to step aside, then called the maid to clean up all the mess.


"You why?" Ask Mama Audrey to Olivia who looks riled up.


"Via doesn't know, Ma! Olivia's feeling was suddenly bad." Olivia grabbed the phone from her pocket and called Youbel. Connected, rope not lifted.


Is Youbel asleep?


"Call who?" Ask Mama Audrey again.


"Youbel, but not raised."


"Maybe you're asleep" murmured Olivia as she kept her phone back.


"A miss again?" Tempting Mama Audrey who seemed to be trying to entertain Olivia.


"No! Just to make sure," Olivia argued for an excuse.


"Youbel must be fine, Via!" Mom Audrey calms Olivia down.


"Yes, Ma!"
