Olivia let go of her grip on Ragel's waist. The girl was still holding onto her painful cheeks.
"Thanks" said Olivia slowly.
When I'm about to step away from Ragel. The guy who had been looking at her so fixedly prevented her, making Olivia stop without even turning her head.
"Lo I'm anther until home" said Ragel.
"No need. I can take the angkot myself," replied Olivia.
Ragel let out a long breath. "Lo think midnight gini, still no angkot?"
Olivia stunned. Ah, yes, right too. Why is Olivia so stupid.
"There was no rejection. I'm anther" said Ragel, pulling the girl to follow him to the parking area.
Open the car door. Cue Olivia to come in.
"But I-"
"Liviaaa~" call Ragel smooth.
Olivia stunned. Immediately enter without seeing the look of Ragel's face at all.
Afterwards Ragel came in and sat in the driver's seat. Install the seatbelt, then start the engine of the car.
Ragel turned to Olivia who was still silent. There was no movement from the girl.
"Not be so stiff. I will not macem-macem the same lo," said Ragel smiling little. "Don't forget to install seatbelt lo!"
Olivia nodded her seatbelt.
A few minutes Ragel's car drove through the city of Jakarta. There was no conversation between them. Not even to discuss the incident.
Both are silent with their minds.
"Gue stopped in front of an alley" said Olivia.
Ragel nodded. Focus driving by occasionally glancing at Olivia who chose to stare at the street from behind the car glass.
"Why are you at Laura's party?" ask Ragel at last.
"Because I was invited with him," replied Olivia quickly.
Ragel nodded slowly. Don't know what else to ask.
"If lo?"
"Hm?" Ragel turned his head again to Olivia who was reluctant to look at him.
"The question is more or less the same as the elo question."
"Aaaa .. because I invited Angga. He heard a conversation between Laura and her two friends. In their conversation there are the names lo and Sera" explained Ragel.
Olivia nodded slowly. Chose to go back silent after getting an answer from Ragel.
The black sedan stopped right in the alley near Olivia's house.
When Olivia's gonna take off her seatbelt. Ragel is back.
"Do you still feel the same as me?" asked Ragel hesitatingly.
Olivia fell silent, this time staring at Ragel with a heart that started beating twice as fast. He had expected Ragel to discuss this, sooner or later.
Not getting an answer. Ragel is back.
"I mean ... Do you really like me? Because what I know, lo ... so hate me for dragging elo into a relationship that there is no interest in it," continued Ragel now staring Olivia deep.
Olivia was wrong. The girl hurriedly took off her seatbelt. Then get out of the car.
"Gue knows this is a bit strange. It's just, I'm just a mastiin truth that you said earlier," said Ragel back.
Olivia hasn't closed the car door. Choosing the brave stare right at the dark bead of Ragel.
"If that's what you hear from my mouth. That means there's really her, right?" said Olivia straightforwardly.
For a while they stared at each other. Wrestling on the mind and heart both are beating faster.
"Thanks, I've done it. Lo be careful" said Olivia, closing the car door.
"Together."
It turns out that they really like each other. But honey, they can't be honest about each other's feelings.
Today the school seems crowded with whispers that sound like bees. Well, everyone was talking about last night.
Plus when they glanced at Olivia. The whisper is getting worse. It's like Olivia should be the talk of one school.
But the girl chose to fool her greatly and stepped quickly towards her class.
There was no one in the class. Usually at this hour, Olivia's classmates have begun to tidy up with books and stationery on their desks.
But why is it different now?
"Liv!" Someone patted Olivia's shoulder. The girl was shocked half-dead, wanting to feel faint on the spot. "Sori, I don't mean-"
"It's okay" said Olivia.
Step towards his table. Quiet for a moment to see Syera's bag on her side chair. Olivia looked at Shera confused.
"Aaaa ... I sit my same lo again," replied Syera hesitated.
"Why?"
Syera spread her gaze. Slowly the girl sat on her chair. Then get Olivia to sit down too.
"The story of yesterday. It is not my intention to confuse and regret. But ... you know, Laura will do whatever she wants to torture you, if until I'm still close to you," said Syera said slowly.
Olivia fell silent. Observing the look on the face of Syera which has now returned to normal. That is, there will usually be a lot of bruises on the cheek or chin of the girl.
Olivia also has no idea what caused it.
"Where's your condition?" ask Olivia suddenly.
"Hm?"
"I mean, you fell yesterday. Are you all right?" errata Olivia.
"Oh, okay. I'm very well. Even though my legs turn blue on his calves, hehehe." Syera grinned as if the bruise was not a problem for her.
"Why did Laura also benefit from elo?" ask Olivia seriously.
Syera took a long breath. Set his position as comfortable as possible.
"It's about the fiancee between me and Ragel" Syera began to tell the story. "Before I got engaged to Ragel first. I met Laura. We were in class in 4th grade SD. But after that, I was transferred to a special grade of Elementary time due to adoptive parents' obsession with achievement and championing. I don't think I'll be able to meet him. But as it turns out, he always sneaks in when the extra lessons take place in a special class."
Syera breathed once more. Started to lower your head.
"At that time, I took him to my adoptive parents' house and recognized him as my parents. I'm glad Laura got to know my parents. That's the sign, that I'm with Laura. I can do anything, just like him, right?" Syera smiled wryly. Winding his hand which was filled with incision wounds.
"But it turns out the same. And the height of the problem happened, when Ragel and I were engaged. Laura looked at him with her own eyes. And then, after the engagement was over. Laura threatened me to cancel the engagement, because she also liked Ragel. But baby, Papi did not accept Laura's words. Although Papi and Mami also already consider Laura as his son," explained Syera, glaring at her sad eyes. The girl chose to bite the tip of her nail.
Olivia who heard the story of Syera and saw the change of Syera when telling the story. Take both of Shera's hands, then hold her firmly.
"Sye, if you don't want to tell me now. It's okay, don't be forced. I'll wait for your readiness to-"
Syera shook her head, "no Liv. For me, telling all about myself to elo was a relief. I have no problem re-examining my past. Because I believe, if I told her to elo."
Olivia smiled, rubbing the back of Syera's hand gently.
"Laura's unrealized request turned out to be fruitful. In the end, Ragel and I broke off the engagement. Papi broke off our engagement himself, but he was so excited when you got engaged a few months ago."
Syera took a long breath. Rubbing his face, somehow the atmosphere was even very heavy.
"The week before the engagement was called off. Ragel and his family suffered a fatal accident in which Mama Ragel died at the scene and was the victim of a shooting at the central bank in Switzerland. It was also his involvement with Ragel who was found by police at the scene with a face of shock and a gun in front of him. One of the bodies in front of Ragel is thought to have something to do with Ragel himself," Syera looked at Olivia with a sad look.
Olivia tries to remember the events that Syera told her about. He seemed to know the place and the chronology of the story that the police had told him when he went to--
"Sye, what.... The victim's body is male?" ask Olivia.
Syera nodded confidently.
"What is he....one of the young men who came from Indonesia?"
Again, Shera nodded.
"Sye-"
"Liv, I know. But it wasn't Ragel who shot him. It's all a misunderstanding. There must have been someone who deliberately trapped Ragel at that time," Syera said quickly.
He was sure Ragel didn't do it. Because you know what Ragel really is. Ragel is so good to people.
"Gue.... Ragel's very hard to guess and...." Olivia was silent for a while, trying to re-digest what her brain was processing. Suddenly the girl stood up.
"Gue has to see Ragel."
