At twelve in the night Varo woke up from sleep, he stepped out of the balcony with a riled feeling and then decided to go down, walking down the beach.
Slender.
Only the sound of waves and dimly lit cafe and lodging lights from a distance. Varo sighed, he sat on the sand with a sad expression. His eyes stared at the long barrage of messages from Amirah. He wanted to cry and scream but his throat seemed to be suffocated covered in tightness and endless sadness.
A footstep and a blanket enveloping Varo's body jolted him, Varo's face turned to find Olivia coming and unceremoniously sitting beside him. The smiling girl created a calming atmosphere from the look on her face.
“You haven't slept? Why are you here?” asked Varo somewhat surprised.
“You yourself why are the nights sitting alone here?” olivia asked back and pointed behind them. “I can see your back from my room window.”
Varo forced himself to smile. “You should sleep, it's already night”
“I want to sleep but I was watching a movie again, I want to sleep I just want to look out the window and there are you” replied Olivia honestly. He propped his chin up on his knees while his face turned to look at Varo fixedly.
“Mama is sick....” said Varo suddenly opened his voice, his eyes staring deep towards the coastline at the end there. “Mama is often tired and fainted suddenly. Some time ago mom drove a car, mama got into an accident. Luckily she survived, but the accident affected some nerves, but she was operated on but her right side of the body died. You can no longer talk properly or even do simple things like open the bottle. Doctor nyaranin mama for nerve therapy and Kak Amirah asked me to come nemenin mama.”
Varo sighed with a feeling of despair. “Mama is good at playing the piano, but now mama can't do anything about what mama likes...... I thought, is this my karma? Because often do not worry about the existence of mama and act like I do not have a mama?” Varo lowered his head deeply, his hands clasped tightly trying hard to hold back the cries. “I want to die just like it.”
Olivia's hand moved up and continued to pat Varo on the back and when Varo's face looked up at her, Olivia's hand was immediately wide open hugging the guy tightly.
“You still have a chance to go to your mama. So I think it's too early for you to despair” whispered Olivia.
Varo immersed his face in Olivia's arms, he took a deep breath and moments later his body trembled. Varo crying. For the first time in his life, he cried in someone's arms.
Feelings of sadness, tightness, and regret slowly began to evaporate out. Her crying sounded bitter as if there was no more tomorrow for her, Varo's hand clasping Olivia's arm tightly. He obviously needs someone by his side and Olivia's presence with the claps and soothing whispers directly becomes neutralization for the frustration of Varo who actually wants to run and die at the sea waves.
“I lost my parents when I was in High School. I also wanted to die at that time because I felt I had no one else in my life” Olivia story slowly. “But dying is not the right way to run from problems.”
Olivia's hand kept patting Varo's back, she silently waited for the guy to stop sobbing and then heard a deep breath. Varo broke away from Olivia's embrace, his face looking up at the girl's face fixedly.
“In this world there are people who are just as sad as you. They were sad, desperate, and crying. But only a few of those people want to rise up and mengelesain the problem well, some of them choose to come back, said Olivia softly and gently. “You now want to be which part?”
“I...” Varo was silent, he looked very doubtful.
“Whatever decision you will support. Even if you want to keep quiet here.”
Varo's hand moved slowly touching Olivia's hand. “You want me?......To New York”
For a moment Olivia was silent, she could see the seriousness of Varo's eyes, making her heart feel shaky. “You should ask Arini that. I'm here just a passerby in your life.”
Both of them were both speechless, Varo's grasp on Olivia tightened.
“Until the end...you will still reject me right?” muttered Varo slowly.
Olivia's lips moved to force herself to smile, despite the fact that she gave the man was very bitter. “I'm a bad girl who sneaks at people's girlfriends, and you're a bad guy who cheats on his girlfriends. The relationship of the bad guys will not be smooth, the edges will be mutually painful.”
Varo does not answer or intend to interrupt Olivia's argument. He only smiled faintly and turned his face towards the sea. The night air felt extremely cold, twice as cold, for Varo's outer skin as well as for his heart.
“So when do you want a ticket?” olivia asked after the two had been silent for quite a while.
...******...
“Dim, Dim. Map lu put on the table gih, you everywhere bring the map is like a member of the village again collect garbage money” reprimand Bima.
Dimas snorted putting his map on the table then joined the others near the pool. At half-time seven in the evening and they were all doing a small party.
“We burn gini fish for ngerayain what the hell?” johan asked just showed up with Olivia with a drink.
“Welcome the arrival of October” replied Bima kalem. Johan frowned in wonder.
“Because this is the month of birth I” obviously Bima took the box from Johan's hands and put it on the table.
“Be careful, let your hands burn” said Dimas holding back Olivia's steps so as not to approach.
“Dim, I just want to put the fish on the burning, not want to hold embers” reply Olivia's ring put the fish on the burning. He and Dimas were busy burning fish while others stood not far from it, Bima himself as a party pengide had started playing music from his large speakers.
“Why is your face like that? Stomach acid rise?” reprimanding Dimas when Varo showed up, the guy had just finished Nabila's weekly report.
“Not everyone whose face is tangled it again acid stomach ya tai” snorts Varo no-nonsense take over Olivia's job. “Oliv, please fetch cooking oil in that small box”
“You anyplace?” ask Olivia to take what Varo ordered.
“Mau massage the fish let slippery”
“Need towel?” chirps Dimas then laughs amusedly with Varo.
“Basic!” olivia said with narrowed eyes. The three stayed there, chatting, joking, and laughing. They look engrossed themselves, until they do not realize there is someone who is staring with a view of dislike.
Arini's.
The girl sat on the edge of the pool, accompanying Ete to chat with Johan. His face was bent, a sign of his jealousy had already crossed the limit.
There was actually nothing wrong, as there was a Dimas there and they just looked like friends chatting away. But Arini's logic suddenly dies, Olivia's laughter doesn't make her feel happy. Angry just emerged from Arini's heart, he was eager to step closer to them and pull Olivia's hair strong. Arini hates Olivia too much to her roots.
“Why is your face so bent?” senggol Bima asked as Arini got up and straightened up a bottle of mineral water. His face turned towards Arini and then smiled amusedly
.
“Don't be surprised, your guy is a jerk. You should know that from the beginning PDKT” whispered Bima impressed heated up, Arini grunted annoyed. Bima held an amused laugh, he knew Arini was jealous, but somehow Bima so enjoyed the complicated romance drama Varo like a tangled thread.
“Sometimes if we are not firm, ours will be taken” whispered Bima. Arini looked at Bima, she handed her rough drinking bottle and stepped towards Olivia.
“Where are you?” yelled Bima but not digubris Arini.
Arini's sneaky smile expands as Olivia steps towards him about to put the fish on the table, and... Byurs. Arini deliberately but not too clearly pushed Olivia's body into the pool.
The pool was not very deep, but the loud scream of a shocked Johan made all turn away. Without further ado he jumped into the pool, his expression panicking instead of playing when pulling Olivia thrashing in the water. Varo and Dimas run in unison to help Johan lift Olivia to the edge.
“Oliv! Olivia!” call Johan getting panicked. Olivia coughed out water from her mouth, her breathing gasping as if she had just finished running for hundreds of miles. Unexpectedly Johan immediately hugged Olivia, the girl's body trembled in fear, her face was deathly pale and within minutes she looked like an undead.
“Oliv, Oliv. Yes, you are safe. Udah.” Sera wrapped Olivia's body in a towel, patting the girl on the back, not caring about the confused and worried gaze of her friends.
“Oliv. Udah..tenang” whispered Johan because Olivia is still sobbing. “Ser, please take it to kamar”.
With Bima's help, Sera takes Olivia away from there. The atmosphere was suddenly silent, all eyes were both staring at Olivia's back until she disappeared into the cafe.
“Lu how the hell is it? If the path of the eyes dipake too, do not doang” legs ketus Dimas suddenly angry. Arini, who was initially surprised by Olivia's reaction, now feels upset. His pride is hurt by Dimas' anger at him.
“Gue not intentionally. Lagain already know the narrow road even do not want to move aside bentar” bela Arini gives the impression that he does not care and regret what just happened. Dimas glared angrily, he really could not stand Arini's attitude, just as Dimas was about to open his voice to reply Arini, Johan's voice was heard.
“Tomorrow if you want to kill people's children, mending all skewers with knives.” Johan's expression looked so piercing, he immediately stepped away towards the cafe.
Arini clucked, everyone blamed her. His hatred for Olivia is of course getting bigger, the existence of the girl in this place makes Arini vacation feel like hell.
You bastard!, maki Arini, his face turned to seek defense from Varo, but the guy was not there. Varo has quietly gone after Olivia. Arini was transfixed, now that she knew, Varo's heart was no longer entirely for her.
Arini felt defeated.
