Sera stepped out of Olivia's room, her expression looking calm looking at the three guys sitting on the dining table chair.
“Suk gih, have changed his son's clothes. Nih pake, you catch a cold, I'm the one who bothered” said Sera handed the towel to Johan.
Johan took a quick peek. “Gue back tomorrow, change clothes. What matters is that Olivia is safe. Yuk Bim”
“Well am I doang? Varo not?” bima Protest.
“Udah Bim, the new Varo nemenin. Mending you nemenin I shower” kelakar Johan pull force Bima.
“Najis! Mending my head beheaded rather than having to nemenin you! whim! whim! unclean! don't touch me! far away you there ten meters to the back” shouted Bima hysterically. Johan laughs and then they come out of the cafe.
“Not logged in?” ask Sera astonished. Varo threw a doubtful look, he was still surprised by the incident earlier, making his body stiffly confused as to what to do.
“When High School Olivia once drowned in your school pool” story Sera suddenly pulled a chair and sat in front of Varo. “Olivia was almost dead at the time, but it was fortunate that Johan had survived. Since then, she has been traumatized. I tried several times to help Olivia learn to swim, actually her trauma began to improve. Olivia was able to get into the pool. Just that, if it falls suddenly like that, it will still be a nightmare for Olivia.”
Varo was silent for a moment without saying anything he stepped into Olivia's room and closed the door quietly. Her expression turned soft when she saw Olivia sitting leaning against the wall, her eyes closed, and hugging a thick blanket.
“Oliv” call Varo.
Olivia's eyes opened, she smiled weakly. “Sorry, I used to cry everything. I'm like a crazy person.... I don't know how my body reacts, I think I'm okay... Sorry.”
Varo approached, he sat down in front of Olivia. Olivia's fear and crying quickly make Varo feel devastated, the girl needs her help but Varo just silence like a fool.
“Why didn't you tell me?”
“Hmm?”
“Sera told me. Why don't you tell me?” clearly Varo was trying to calm down.
Olivia did not answer, her lips locked tightly not wanting to answer the question. His face lowered not wanting to look at Varo. For a long time the two were silent until Olivia's voice sounded.
“I can hug you?” olivia asked quietly, barely audible. “Only for now. Tomorrow-tomorrow-”
Varo cuts Olivia's sentence by pulling the girl into her arms.His hand pats Olivia's back slowly, trying to give her a sense of security, even if only for a moment.
Olivia's eyes were closed, was Varo's embrace always so soothing like this? Is it true that if you fight a storm, then the safest place to hide is the storm vortex itself? Varo's embrace makes Olivia worried, now she's back in the days where she can't understand her own feelings. But this time because of this guy who hugged her.
Varo himself continues to pat Olivia's back slowly, he can't imagine what crazy thing Varo would do if something happened to the girl. With Olivia in her arms, Varo realizes that her love for Olivia is now completely changed.
Varo loves Olivia.
At eleven o'clock in the evening Varo just returned to his room. He stretched his body exhausted, since Varo had no intention of leaving Olivia until the girl fell asleep. Even if it wasn't for Sera reminding me tomorrow was a workday, Varo might have stayed up late last night to make sure Olivia was okay.
“Where are you from?” Arini's voice was first heard welcoming Varo when he opened the doorknob. Varo's body shifted from the door, letting Bima politely exit the room, making room for the two lovebirds to fight.
“You must be from Olivia's place right?”
“Iya” replied Varo short take the towel.
Arini's eyes were round in anger, now there was no longer any reason to hold back from seeing Varo's indifference to him. “Kok you that anyway? You know Dimas's mad at me, Johan's too. I think I killed someone! I told you I wasn't intentional. Lagian lebai really use cry. Like a kid!”
Varo's body immediately turned towards Arini, he hung a towel around his neck. The tip of Varo's lips smiled, he decided to serve Arini tonight.
“I know you're jealous, but I just found out that you don't have empathy”
“Empathy? What am I doing?! I told you I didn't mean it!” snapped Arini exasperated.
“Compared you said Olivia Lebay, it would be nice if you came here and took the initiative to apologize. Even though you said you didn't accidentally”
“Apaan anyway! You all want to be doing that girl?! Do you like him, right? Just me! You often do it, like your girlfriend Olivia!”
“Olivia has trauma. He once almost drowned” replied Varo calmly. “So you almost killed people's children. And yes, I like Olivia. So what do you want now?”
Arini's anger immediately receded, replaced by a sense of tremendous disappointment. No need for debate or explanation at length, he immediately knew point one of his proven fears already. Varo likes Olivia. Arini does not understand, what is interesting from Olivia other than her physical and attitude that always looks full of falsehood.
Arini looked up, Varo who was standing in front of him looks like one of those jerks out there. Arini's hand then lifted up and slapped hard Varo's face.
Plaque.
“Basic jerk! We broke up aja”
“OK. Right now, huh?” varo replied calmly holding her reddish cheeks due to Arini's slap. Her face moved slightly giving Arini the code to get out. “Can come out now? I want to sleep.”
Arini's eyes glazed over. This is not what he expected. The slap should have made Varo aware that he had just made a big mistake, should have Varo apologize, explain everything, blame Olivia, and kneel in front of Arini. Varo, who Arini knows as his sweet guy, is now missing, featuring the real figure of Varo.
Arini crying. Lost is a beautiful dream of sweet love. The heart-puller who gives the limit, now creates tremendous pain and disappointment for him.
The sound of the door opening made Varo look up, Bima and Ete entered because they heard the quarrel of the two from outside. They stared awkwardly when they saw Arini crying.
“Gue deh who went” snorted Varo indifferently took his clothes from the closet and then stepped out. Not minding Bima's cry calling out her name.
