Olivia patted her purse gently and cleared the dust, her face turning bright as Johan appeared to carry their order onto the table. “Thank you Johan who is handsome in Indonesia Raya”
“I won't say kamu” kekeh Johan.
The combination of lemon cake and caffeine from the coffee on Olivia's tongue makes a woman's eyes sparkle. Olivia loves lemon cake from the cafe she is visiting right now. Souls. The new cafe was established three years ago and then officially entered the top of the list of favorite cafes Olivia. The uniqueness of the soul cafe is to provide a special type of cake following the season of fruits in Indonesia.
“How is it?” johan asked, opening the conversation.
“Faith. What is your job in England? safe?”
“Aman dong, if I do not leave I will not be accepted.” For the next two weeks Johan will spend his leave by vacationing in Bali, leaving Olivia who had whined to come along.
“Varo how? Still chasing you?”
“Still, he was consistently weird” nods Olivia seriously but Johan just laughed amusedly.
“That means your charm is still okay, you should be grateful”
“Iya, I am very grateful, until I want to feel prostrate every time I squirm Varo” said Olivia sarcas. “You should know what Varo and Rere are doing.”
Olivia tells everything, starting from Olivia's hard efforts to seduce Varo to pass the rental problem building, Rere and Varo who turned out to have signed the agreement without her knowledge, and the, until Varo claims that he has an agreement with Olivia. Johan listened carefully, occasionally he laughed amusedly.
“Trik Varo okay too. Difficult naklukin you, yaudah subjugate aja people around.”
Olivia sips coffee, her phone vibrates displaying an incoming message from Andreas.
which “Cowok is it again?” johan asked.
“Ngak ubiquitous, this is from Andreas nanya workan”
“Gini holiday?”
“Andreas is his working day Monday week, do not know holiday. If you can die his work is taken to the afterlife, Olivia replied while replying to Andreas' message.
Johan bites the cake as his eyes watch over Olivia. Either Olivia is aware of it or not but Johan knows Andreas keeps the taste to the woman. On the day Johan first met Andreas, he knew immediately that the look Andreas gave Olivia clearly showed interest. Sure oes. Not many people can ignore Olivia's charm. A person who judged others by physicality would be the first to fall in love with Olivia. She is beautiful and will forever be like that.
“Andreas is good, why not try to open your heart?”
Olivia looked up at a glance. “What makes open heart? I think someone wants to enter aj”
“Lah? Andreas right? Like ngantri, Andreas antrinya in the front row” kekeh Johan. “Or don't-don't your heart don't open because there is already Mas Wijaya there?”
“Ih Johan! Nyebelin” delik Olivia pinched Johan who laughed amusedly.
...----------------...
Olivia spends her Saturday helping Rere at the cafe, since their early morning busy serving visitors who come and go to spend the weekend at the place. In the evening when two more hours would close the cafe door open, Oliva Rere looked up and both smiled broadly when he saw Andreas and Reino coming.
“Beautiful dress” nudge Olivia teases Rere who hastily tidied up her appearance upon seeing Reino. “Basic centil”
“Biarin, the important Mas Reino fell in love” reply Rere stuck out his tongue carrying paper menu.
”Many messages yes, if I do not drive” said Olivia. Andreas and Reino laughed.
“Cakep yes...Like angel” muttered Rere while returning after ushering in Andreas and Reino's order. The two men looked seriously at the laptop screen.
“Saturday kok work” goda Olivia. Reino sneered and then continued to install wireless and meeting.
Olivia sat at the cashier table while filling TTS, the most fun activity she did after rarely going ngegym. Lately, Olivia's busyness makes her more want to spend time off by sitting in one place and staring at one object.
“Smart really his son Mr. Dendi this one.”
Olivia looked up, Andreas clapped his small hands as he looked at Olivia's answer on the TTS paper. The man pointed at some questions and momentarily helped Olivia answer.
“Lu ngerjain client what the hell? I think it's really complicated until Saturday gini work”
“Sarana Sehat, pharmaceutical company in Surabaya. Tomorrow I'm with one of my team's kids to go there for a visit to barang”
“Si Reino why join?”
“Children of Sarana Sehat held by Reino, again troubled his handler so want to discuss with me. Hunt me to Surabaya tomorrow, so mending from now”
“Wuuu Reino ngerepotin Andreas aja lu.”
Reino looked up at a glance then raised his middle finger and went back to work.
“Lu want nitip?”
“By-by?”
“Iya”
“No, you focus only on work, do not have to be busy looking for souvenirs.”
Andreas raised both his thumbs, he remained standing in front of Olivia continuing their chatter. Sometimes Andreas helps Olivia answer the puzzle, although the answer is a bit strange but at least managed to attract the woman's amused laughter.
Ting. The doorbell opened along with the entry of a visitor, Olivia looked up while getting rid of TTS, she would just welcome the friendly but her face turned stiff once she saw who appeared.
“Eh Mr Varo? Welcome, tumben night-night here.” The first rere welcomes Varo. Olivia gawked, Rere's smile was twice as bright as when welcoming Reiono earlier. Rere tidied his hair behind his ears making Olivia sneer. Varo himself smiled back, he made a little pleasantry with Rere before finally approaching Olivia.
“Busy?” ask Varo. Olivia shook her head looking at Varo from top to bottom. The cowol was wearing futsal pants and a black hoodie, a sign he had just finished exercising.
“Where to?” asked Olivia already knew the answer but kept making small talk.
“Fustal with kids”
“Ngapain to here?”
“Ih Olivia is so fierce, people come well too. Is it Mr Varo?” reprimanding Rere, Varo smiled amusedly while Olivia rolled her eyeballs. Opposite has signed the contract Rere is now suddenly an ally of Varo.
“Iya, your friend fierce huh?” Let's say Varo agrees.
“Pak by the way Andreas and the other meeting was Reino, his friend me and Olivia.”
“I came to love this.” Varo presents a beautiful white wedding invitation that reads Dimas and Ele.
Olivia read carefully, her gaze changing in amazement. “Ngak perasa ya Dimas is married, kayak just yesterday met in Jogja” muttered Olivia unconsciously. “This is for me?”
“Iya”
“Dimas know yes I am in Jakarta?”
“Iya” nods Varo as dictated then turns on Rere. “Re, want a box yes, whatever aj”
“Any Mr. Varo, Olivia's heart paid right?”
“Enak aja, you will be richer than I” refused Olivia but still help Rere prepare the cake box and submit it to Varo.
“Ih Sir, said Olivia who paid” refused Rere when Varo handed over the card. Olivia sneered hurriedly took the card.
“Thank you, I'm back first. Thanks Re cake” says Varo when finished.
Rere hurriedly poked Olivia's foot. “Sana anterin”
”Hah?”
“Buruan..”.
Olivia is surprised but follows Varo, the man's car parked outside. “Varo..”
Varo's steps stopped, he turned back. “Why?”
“....About wedding Dimas...”.
“I picked you” said Varo smiling sweetly.
“You go straight home?”
“Iya”
“Oke, be careful.”
As Varo's eyebrows rose, he patted the top of Olivia's head gently and climbed into the car. Olivia waved her hand, she continued to stand there watching Varo's car drive away and disappear at the end of the road.
...----------------...
Working as an auditor is exhausting, the days of the early months of the year should still be lived with passion does not seem to apply to an auditor. Starting from January to mid-year is like being in the middle of a battlefield. Overtime until night, midnight, or dawn is like the habit of the beginning of the year.
“Wih crazy, still eight hours but his team Kak Asti already in the office” Kesha whispered to Olivia when entering the office. On a whim he reprimanded Tata who was tidying up his things. “Good morning Tata, tumben early in the morning already at the office. Want to client ya?”
Tata. “Pala lu Kesh, this just want to go home.”
Kesha was dumbfounded while Olivia laughed. The two women then chose to sit in a corner to join Rakai and Dendi. Throughout the day, Dendi's team worked to check some of the data that the accounting ravent manager sent via email.
“You're overtime?” Andreas shows up carrying four coffees and puts them on the table of Dendi's team. The four looked up then gazed towards the wall clock, it was already at half-seven p.m.
“Emang your team?” ask Dendi.
“One client I have an opinion just came out earlier, so today rest first”
“Bogged!” chirping Olivia and Kesha together, Andreas laughed then waved his hand and passed away. Ten minutes after that Olivia's phone rang, she turned away, the name; arrogant Mas-mas appeared on the phone screen, the call came from Varo.
“Halo?”
[Where are you?]
“Office, why?”
[Oblow?]
“Iya”
[.......]
“Why name?”
[Wind until what time?]
“Not knowing]
[Okay]
“......Huh huh? Is that doang?”
Varo's laughter came from the other end of the phone. [What are you doing?]
“Yes zhain cake, I'm overtime tau”
[Emang if I say your spirit will be spirit?]
“No, unless you do my job.”
Varo laughed again. [Jude, I'm closed. See you later]
“Iya.”
Phone calls are switched off. Unknowingly Olivia smiled sweetly, she looked up when a coughing voice sounded. Kesha looked at him with a witty expression and wanted to know.
“Kepo lu Kesh” grunts Olivia.
“Kalo again fall in love, love please take care of yes, at least until peak season is finished, so if suddenly heartbreak does not interfere with work. Yes, brother?” goda Kesha answered Dendi's amused laughter.
“Whose in love? Do not spread rumors lu” elak Olivia instead make his team more fun teasing him.
