Arini walked into the room with a bent face, her eyes staring intently at Varo's back and her expression looked annoyed half to death.
“I don't like!” ketus Arini when Varo just put his bag then about to step away. Varo threw a puzzled look, not understanding why Arini suddenly looked so angry.
“What?”
“I said I don't like!”
“Gue came out briefly yes, want to rokoan with Bima” said Ete rush out, aware soon there will be a war in the room.
Varo sighed right after Ete disappeared from behind the door, he sat on the bed and looked up at Arini. The girl pouted, an expression Varo had missed for three months.
“I've noticed you're close to Olivia. You I forbid to be close to Olivia” said Arini without further ado. Although Arini did not hear the conversation of Varo and Olivia, but he could feel that something was hidden from him.
“I don't like the way he looks at you or the gestures he makes when talking to you. I think he likes you” Arini said beginning to sound emotional. Varo clucked slowly, not finished his business with Amirah, now he must face Arini's jealousy. In the heart of Varo cursed because Arini always invited him ‘berwar’ at the wrong time.
“Mending you break” says Varo sounds tired.
“How are you? I seriously don't like you being close to Olivia!”
“Ya how do you want me? Five feet from Olivia? I never deny you to be close to anyone, why now you like to nagging?”
“I'm your girlfriend! I will also accept if for example you forbid me to be close to other guys. I'm tired of coming here and you're acting like Gini” Arini's voice is getting higher.
“I didn't ask you to come” replied Varo coldly, his gaze so piercing that Arini's mouth immediately locked tightly. This is the first time Varo replies to Arini's words in their quarrel, before the guy tends to just be silent to let Arini take out all his uneg-uneg. Varo's different attitude makes Arini shocked, his eyes then glazed with tears.
“K-you're mad at me?” asked Arini vibrating.
“I'm tired” Varo sighed. “Mending now you rest. I have to design the financial statements of Kak Nabila.”
There was nothing more that Varo could do, his body was already too tired of materials to just hug Arini and explain everything. Many things happened today to make Varo's mind become erratic, therefore without much talk Varo stepped out, not caring about Arini who was fixated to see his attitude.
...*****...
Varo treads the path to the cafe with a feeling of uncertainty, occasionally he kicked a pebble as an outlet of annoyance that he should either point to whom. Varo goes into the cafe, for a moment his steps stop as soon as he sees Olivia sitting with Dimas. They were working on something, but with a laugh and occasionally Olivia hit Dimas' back hard.
“Oliv. Where do I work?” asked Varo unceremoniously approaching them. Olivia looked up and pointed at the laptop that Dimas was using.
“I think you are still the same Arini, so I ask for help Dimas” replied Olivia astonished.
“Oh. Okay” nods Varo.
“Lu want a cigarette?” bargain Dimas, Varo shook his head. “Lu why the hell? Pain?”
“Enggak” replied Varo briefly. His phone rang again, he only glanced for a moment, and immediately turned off his phone once the name Amirah no longer appeared from the phone screen.
“Help me decorate yuk cake, than you sit nganggur” bargain Olivia suddenly. “Dim, you can do it yourself right?”
“Can Oliv, calm down aja” nod Dimas back focus on his laptop screen while Varo follows Olivia into the kitchen.
“Cut the melon into a triangle, so I can put it here” said Olivia pointing towards a round cake that has been covered in white cream. Varo nodded doing what Olivia asked.
“So here's the size?” asked Varo pointing towards his first piece. Olivia nodded lightly.
“You've been fit so a rickshaw fruit” joked Olivia made Varo force himself to smile.
“This is cake for whom?”
“Kak Nabila”
After finishing cutting, Varo helped Olivia put melon fruit on the cake, he laughed amusedly when several times wrongly put the fruit and make broken cream that has been trimmed. Once in a while Olivia nagged, Varo laughed, for a moment she forgot the feeling of wrath in her chest.
“You were why?” asked Olivia when the atmosphere between them had felt quite relaxed.
“Hmm?”
“Your expression is not good after receiving phone”, explained Olivia carefully. “Something happened?”
“Gak” replied Varo lying. Olivia didn't ask any more, but she stepped up to pick up her favorite melted chocolate and thrust a spoonful at Varo.
“One spoon of chocolate can make you feel better” muttered Olivia with a sweet smile. Varo stared at the melted chocolate Olivia offered and then looked up at the girl's face seriously.
“You said we have no relationship, but your attitude is inversely proportional to what you say” said Varo seriously made Olivia's smile disappear.
“Don't give me hope..I can go crazy because of your attitude.”.
Olivia was silent for a moment, she put her melted chocolate back on the table and looked back at Varo seriously.
“So how do you want me? Go to Arini and tell her what you've been doing behind her, cheating on her? Is that? Or do you want me to snap at you and get mad like a madman?”
“Bby. As long as it doesn't get you away from me” said Varo making him sound twice as jerky as the cheating boys out there. But Varo did not care, many things happened today and all that made him can no longer think using his logic properly. Varo doesn't want anything, he just wants the certainty that Olivia won't leave him. In an instant Olivia had already managed to make Varo crazy.
“I'm the same Arini, who do you prefer?” asked Olivia after a long sigh.
“You” replied Varo without a second thought making Olivia dumbstruck.
Olivia laughed stiffly and said quietly. “You're crazy”
“Emang. I'm crazy because you and I have no defense for all my behavior. I was wrong, a jerk, and selfish. I admit it” reply Varo. “But I want you”
“You don't like the same I” bell Olivia firmly. “You're obsessed, and I don't think that's true. I think we should end our relationship.”
Olivia then forced herself to smile despite looking a little bitter. “Funny huh? End the relationship, even though from the beginning we do not have any relationship.”
And Olivia's words succeeded in making Varo silent, unable to reply to the girl's words. Olivia manages to hurt Varo in the most painful way. For the first time in his life Varo has just felt what it's like to be seen by someone he likes.
