"Applying? But does Oliver know? Sorry Auntie uh.mommy, I'm not ready to get married." Alexa said while shaking her head.
"If Oliver is serious about proposing to our son, then he should come first to propose to Alexa." Joana suddenly appears and sits between them.
Orlando and Elvira Pregonas look at Joana.
"I'm Joana Purwanto. Mommy's Alexa." Joanna introduced herself.
"Oh. Where's Alexa's birth mother?" Ask Elvira.
"It's been dead since Alexa was a kid."Answer Joana.
"I'm sorry, for this stupid question." Elvira.
"It's okay. Regarding the proposal of the Lord and Lady of Pregonas to our son Alexa, my husband and I gave everything to Alexa. It's just, we want Oliver himself to come here. We don't like any matchmaking or anything like that." Joana said frankly.
"Oliver was hurt. That is why he no longer believes in love. But we saw that to Alexa, our son was completely different. He always sends flowers, doing silly actions by waiting at the airport while holding a flower, around Jakarta just to find the best doll for Alexa on Valentine's Day. Even the chocolate he gave was taken from 9 of the best chocolate producing countries in the world. And the craziest act is to follow Alexa on the first day she works on another airline. He did not care about the wounds he suffered. Just to Alexa, our son became quite different from his original nature. That's why my husband and I came here to propose to Alexa. We're sure Oliver won't turn it down." Elvira said at length.
Alexa's face turns red when she hears that Oliver's parents know all the madness that Oliver's done for her.
"I know. It's just, I'm afraid that Oliver's feelings for Alexa are just an obsession because our son has rejected Oliver repeatedly." Joana said very gently to make Oliver's parents understand.
"Yes. We thought about that at first too. We don't want Alexa to get hurt because of the nature of our son playing games with girls. But we finally concluded that Oliver must be in love with Alexa." Orlando finally spoke. As a parent, he has researched well who Alexa is, and he came to the conclusion that the girl is indeed a good girl.
Joana looked at Alexa. "What do you think, Eca?"
Alexa looked at her mom. Then Oliver's parents. He could see that their eyes were hopeful of him. There is no sense in refusing it.
"Daddy, mommy, give me some time to talk to Oliver. I don't know how I feel about her either." Alexa tried to be wise so as not to disappoint Oliver's parents.
Eventually, they left Alexa's house.
"Eca, how did you respond?"
Alexa shakes. "I don't like it, Oliver. I'd better talk to him." Alexa immediately went to her room to take a shower and headed to Oliver's office.
*********
Oliver's face immediately smiled happily as he looked at Alexa who entered his room.
"Hallo dear, are we going to celebrate this day of affection together?" oliver asked as he stood up from his chair and approached Alexa who was sitting on the sofa of his room.
"Oliver, let's have a good talk" Alexa said, letting Oliver sit in front of her.
"What's wrong?" ask Oliver. She sits next to Alexa.
"Please, stop all your insanity that always sends me flowers, picks me up at the airport, sends me all kinds of gifts. And pull all your bodyguards that follow me everywhere. I feel very disturbed. I'm not comfortable with any of that."
"I want to make you happy with all that."
"But I'm not happy. I just feel like you're forcing me to take all this attention." Elina said firmly while looking at Oliver with a dislike look.
"Alexa....." Oliver tries to touch Alexa's hand but the girl brushes him off.
"Stop this, Oliver. You're just obsessed with me."
Oliver shakes. "I'm in love with you, Eca. For these few months, I really wanted to take you to my bed because you were the only one who rejected me. The more days I miss you. I'm often nervous if you go on the air and the weather is bad. I'm stressed that I can't control your departure schedule because you're not working on this airline." Oliver grabbed Alexa's hand and held it tightly.
"Over these 6 months I've been immersed in my desire to have your body. But today I admit, that I want to have your heart."
Alexa ventured to look into the eyes of the bule in front of her. "I don't love you. I can't force my feelings. Oliver, forget all this. I already know that you've been hurt in the past. Therefore, never take revenge again for what ever made you no longer believe in love. Love will surely be present. You will get a girl who will love you with sincerity. Believe it." Alexa pulls her hand from Oliver's. He stood up and grabbed his bag that was on the table.
"Thank you for all the flowers, dolls and chocolates and other gifts you sent me. I just want to be your friend. Not more." Alexa immediately stepped up but Oliver suddenly hugged her from behind.
"Why don't you trust me, Eca?"
"Because you don't make yourself trustworthy to others."
Oliver tightened his embrace. Her heart ached hearing Alexa's words. Is this the reply to everything he ever did to all the girls before Alexa?
"Oliver, please. Let me go!" Alexa releases Oliver's hand that is coiled around his waist. He immediately opened Oliver's door and hurried away.
Oliver was silent where he stood. He felt he could conquer Alexa with all the attention and gifts he sent. Oliver was earnest when he said that he wanted to win Alexa's heart.
Yesterday, Kevin realized that everything he did for Alexa was a feeling of love. Oliver always misses Alexa. He is very excited every time he picks up Alexa at the airport. Although Alexa never greeted him with a sweet smile but her heart always vibrated every time they sat together in Oliver's car.
"Sir.....!" call Kevin.
Oliver was still standing where he was when Alexa left him. "What's up, Kev?"
"It's lunchtime? Want to have lunch here or book a place at a restaurant?"
"I'm not hungry." Oliver walked back to his seat. He threw his butt over the chair while taking a few deep breaths.
"What's up, mister?"
Oliver smiled wryly. "Alexa rejected me."
"Hasn't you always been rejected by him?"
"That was before I realized I loved her." Oliver leaned his back as both of his hands massaged his head.
"If you love him, why not keep chasing him?"
"Alexa said that she was tormented by my attention. Maybe he's sick of it too."
"So you're gonna stop?"
Oliver shrugged his shoulders. "Eitherway. I don't want Alexa to hate me."
Oliver shakes. "I need Russo Baltique Vodka."
"How much?"
"Until we both can't get up again because we're too drunk."
Kevin could only shake his head. The drink Oliver just mentioned is one of the most expensive alcoholic beverages in the world. And Oliver will definitely spend it. Really, the boss is in love.
"Do you think Alexa has no heart for me at all? 6 Months after him like crazy. Often leaves important meetings when you have to pick her up at the airport. Is there not a taste even if it is small in his heart?"
"Find out for yourself, sir."
"How do you want to find out if he has forbidden me from approaching him?"
Kevin smiled a little mockingly. "Take a Casanova lose his mind to conquer a girl?"
Oliver scratched his head that was not itching. He looked at the photo of Alexa that always adorns the front screen of his phone. Eca, you broke my heart for the second time.

"Alexa, are you coming home soon? Don't want to come with us to the pub?" Ask Susan, her steward friend. They had just arrived from an Istanbul-Jakarta flight.
"No. I'm so tired. I want to shower and sleep. Tomorrow afternoon I will fly to Bangkok."
Both are approaching the exit.
"Eh, tumben your girlfriend the sultan of Pregonas did not pick you up. Busy, huh?" Ask Susan.
Alexa looked at the door where Oliver used to stand and waited for him with a rose, looking lonely. No more charming smile that guy who makes friends Alexa tease him.
"Oliver's preoccupied?" Susan was curious.
"We broke up." Since when was it? Alexa was amazed by the answer she gave.
"Dearly enough. On the thing she's very sweet. I used to tell my boyfriend, try to come to the airport every once in a while and pick me up, Oliver. Duh, she looks so sweet with a rose in her hand. I see how her eyes shine every time I see you. That's why I can't believe it when someone says that guy's a play boy."
Alexa sensed that something was stirring her heart at the words of her best friend. Alexa hurriedly brushed it off. Isn't that what he wanted? Oliver would never show up at the airport every foot he'd finished working.
When he got home, Alexa glanced at the vase near the stairs. Usually the flowers Oliver gave were there. Alexa quickly climbed the stairs. He wanted to take a shower and go to sleep. Because he felt very tired.
As he enters his room, he sees a doll giving Oliver still on his bookshelf. Alexa quickly picked up the dolls and put them on the walk in closet.
*******
1 Month has passed......
Alexa felt something was missing inside her. It's because he never received another delivery of flowers from Oliver. Or was it because he never saw Oliver standing in front of the airport exit to pick him up?
The girl shook her head. "This is impossible. I need to find a guy who fits my criteria." Alexa quickly pushed her suitcase out of the room. Today, he has a flight to Seoul. They will transit in Singapore before returning to Seoul. There, Alexa will sleep one night, the day after tomorrow she will return to Jakarta.
As he walked down the stairs, he saw that in the living room, Dad was talking to a man. Alexa saw that the man was young and his face was handsome Indonesia.
"Who, mi?" alexa asked Joana who was arranging lunch.
"Her name Hardiansa Putra Pratama. PT CEO. The Pratama Sky."
"Children of Pratama Day?"
"Eca knows him?"
"When Eca was little they used to play here. Her mother's a good friend of Finly's. As far as I know since Junior High, Brother Hardi has been studying abroad."
Just then Aldo and Hardi entered the dining room. When he saw Alexa, he smiled. "Eca, you're so pretty. I saw your news on the Internet and TV. You're one of the best flight attendants in the country."
"How are you, brother?" alexa asked a little blush to get compliments from Hardi.
"As you can see, I'm healthy, taller than you and still single."
Alexa laughs. Hardi is still like before. Warm and fun to chat with. They also had lunch together. Alexa and Hardi exchanged phone numbers. Hardi even drove Alexa to the airport.
*******
The flight to Seoul is scheduled for 4pm. Alexa as usual works in business class. Fortunately, this plane is not two-storied. So Alexa will not feel tired to go up and down the stairs.
An elderly woman in her 70s was confused to bring her things and did not know where to sit. Alexa helped. The woman was very chatty and a little grumpy but Alexa tried to deal with her patiently.
When he finished helping the woman, Alexa immediately turned around and would serve the other passengers. Alexa felt her knees wobbly as she looked at the man standing between the curtains of business class and economy class.
Oliver's? Alexa's heart was about to jump out of place. He smiles. Wanting to greet Oliver, but a bule girl suddenly appeared. She is so beautiful and sexy. He immediately grabbed Oliver's arm..
"Honey, where do we sit?" tanyanya.
"we will ask the steward." They both approached Alexa. "Numbers 3a and 3b, please." Oliver.
Alexa surprised. They are like two people who do not know each other. But Alexa smiled even though something pierced her heart. He sweetly pointed out Oliver and the girl's seat. Then he quickly went to the galley section. Why did they have to be on this plane?
The plane finally took off perfectly. Alexa wants to ask for a replacement with her friend. But in the end he decided to stay here. He'll show Oliver he's okay.
Come...who is the first to wash? How will the trip to Seoul be traversed by Alexa?
