At ten o'clock less when Olivia arrived home, she pushed open the door and found Rere sitting on the kitchen floor. The lights were not turned on but the vague light of the room lights made Olivia able to clearly see Rere's lethargic expression.
“Re, you why? Pain?”
Rere looked up and just then his cry broke. Olivia stared confusedly but immediately crouched down hugging Rere. Long enough the woman cried until then only a small sobbing sounded.
“What's Re? Try stories?” Olivia looked at Rere iba.
“Cake shop I want evicted”
“Hah? Why can?”
“The owner of the building is unable to take care and he wants to move abroad. They sell the building and the new owner wants to build a new building for his business, but he doesn't want a roof with other businesses in the building. Very selfish, right? I was given compensation money, but still the money will not be enough to rent other places with the rental price now”
“Re, if that problem, can use part of my salary to pay rent”
“Don't Oliv, if you use your salary we both can't eat and pay the rent” geleng Rere. “It's so sad so me? Living in England want to be fooled, run to Indonesia even want to fall poor.”
Olivia patted Rere's shoulder. They have been friends since High School in England and both decided to stay in Indonesia, albeit for different reasons. Olivia wants to live independently without the help of Ranta, her aunt who decided to get married a few years ago. While Rere, he escapes. Escape from family matchmaking.
“Udah Re, now we just sleep. I'll see the building owner tomorrow”
“Why Oliv? Ask him not to sell the building? Where would. They are paid double the rental price per year for each shophouse.”
Olivia was silent for a moment, but then an idea came to her mind. “Kalo we can not make the building owner to cancel the building sales, then we should be able to make new owners ngusir us.”
Rere looked at the weak Olivia. It was the second crazy idea after his own idea of escaping England. But because he could not think of another way out, Rere was forced to nod, in Rere's heart hoping that Olivia's efforts would succeed.

Olivia stared at the business card in her hand with a sour expression. Alvaro Wijaya, Ravent CEO. Of all the people who live on this earth, why should Varo? Why should he buy the building? Why should that man? Olivia doesn't understand what her destiny is like, but until now Olvia believes her destiny is in its worst phase.
“Where is Oliv?” rere asked as Olivia walked into the cake shop. Olivia just smiled slightly making Rere not ask any further.
“I'm in the kitchen, if you need help call aja” said Olivia passed away. He pulled up his chair and sat down with a sad look.
This cake shop was the most precious place for Olivia and Rere. It took four years for them to raise money and rent a room between the old shophouses. At first only a few people who want to stop by to just buy some kind of small cake when avoiding rain, to avoid rain, but now when it has started many visitors who know their cake shop and Olivia and Rere's business began to show results they have to move from there.
“How to..” muttered Olivia tapped on the table slowly. Long enough he was pensive until the sound of Rere from the front.
“Why Re?” ask Olivia to come. Rere's paled face pointed towards the crowd outside the cafe, some of them wearing safety helmets and seen discussing pointing towards the building.
“It looks like we should be willing to move” said Rere weakly, he sat in a chair and a moment later heard the sound of sobs.
Olivia bit her lip, there was no other way but to meet the Ravent owner in person.
...----------------...
Since morning Olivia's face looks bent. For six years he had never been this sorry until he met Varo. The fact that the man is now the owner of the building as well as their reason for moving makes his sense of regret continue to grow along with the ticking of the passing clock.
“Lu eat first. I want to ask for the results of the scanned documents yesterday” said Olivia when glancing at the watch, it was time for lunch.
“Mau nitip?”
“Iya. Hodgepodge, if there is. Thanks to Kesh.”
Olivia's out of the room. His hands clenched pressing the elevator button towards the sixth floor. The place where Varo's room is.
“Excuse me, Mr Alvaronya is there?” ask Olivia to Beautiful from behind the reception desk.
“Have made an appointment mbak?”
“Not yet, but I just want to take some scanned documents. Yesterday the documents used access Mr. Alvaro, and he said if you want to be taken can go directly to here” explained Olivia.
Beautiful nodded in understanding. “For a while, I contacted Mr. Varo first.”
Olivia sighed, trying to temper her emotions. It was like he ignored Beautiful who was talking by phone and immediately burst into the room.
“Mbak, can enter now” tell Indah.
Olivia smiled sweetly to say thanks, she stepped towards Varo's room and when she opened the door Olivia could clearly see Varo's figure was sitting on a chair.
Varo's smile appeared, his eyes looking very haughty as he watched Olivia approach towards him.
“What do you want? If you want to ask for a scan of the documents, I can only give you at one hour. Now it's lunchtime”
“I'll request the documents at one o'clock in the afternoon. But now I want to talk about something else” said Olivia furious, Varo's figure is now really very upsetting for him. “I want to talk about the building you bought some time ago”
“Oh the...” Varo looks calm. But inwardly it was cheering cheerfully. Varo never thought that his decision following the advice of Lovely buying an old building would lead him to a huge jackpot.
Varo believes Olivia thinks Varo bought the building to disrupt her life, but Varo doesn't care. His meeting with Olivia yesterday made a stack of files about the woman's information directly on his desk.
Where Olivia lives, who she lives with, what she does now, or whatever she's been doing for the past six years. All of that has been answered.
And now when this woman comes to him in anger. Varo knows, he has a way to keep Olivia from leaving. If Varo can't tie Olivia, then he'll start from the people around the woman.
“I don't know what you mean to suddenly buy the building. Okay, maybe you're entitled to buy anything, but I don't think you should have kicked everyone out of that place.”
Varo could feel a sense of resentment being held back from every word that came out of Olivia's lips. He stood up and approached the woman.
“First, I don't like the way you talk. Me, dad, like a stranger. Second....” Varo's step closer makes Olivia turn her body towards him. “I do not like discussing the purchase of this building to external auditors, this is the internal affairs of the office”
“Me-”
“One more time you talk formally, I'm sure you will be in this room until the hours of work” cut Varo threatening. Varo always gets what he wants and facing a stubborn person like Olivia does need extra action. Although impressed arrogant but Varo does not care.
“OK, fine! I'm. I'm coming into this room right now as a potential eviction victim. Your satisfaction?” ketus Olivia upset, lost already manners that still had time to maintain considering Varo is a client as well as the owner of the building where he rested.
“I'm not done talking. Even though you came as a potential eviction victim, I still don't want to talk about it at work hours. If you want to talk about it, it can be after work hours are over. And the third, I'm hungry, you've taken fifteen minutes of lunch, so you're the same I ate here” said Varo calmly.
Olivia stunned. This change in the man in front of him was much worse than he could have imagined. Arrogant, arrogant, and arongan. Those three words could already describe what Olivia saw from Varo's current figure.
“I'll see you again after work hours are over” break up Olivia steps away.
“Until you dare get out of this room before one hour. I'm sure today also your friend Rere will return to England and get married.”
Olivia was surprised, she turned towards Varo with a look of disbelief. Olivia's conscious, Varo must be finding out. The man's obsession with her never changed. But the fact that Varo knew about Rere's problem gave Olivia goosebumps. How far does the man know himself?
“You...” Olivia choked, wanting to slap Varo or throw something at him.
Varo pressed one of the phone's airplane buttons. “Beautiful, please anterin my lunch and Mbak Charmel to kamar”
“Crazy...” murmured Olivia slowly.
“Now you want to sit on the couch or I'm on the bench?”
Olivia clucked but could do nothing but sit on the sofa with a bent face.
