The Second Ring
Chapter 56

Olivia can go home today. Vino brought her home with a feeling of relief.

The house feels quiet. No longer there are chirping and laughter from Alvin who used to decorate this house. Now, every corner of it seemed to be a dark cave. Empty and void fill the sanitary niches of Olivia.

He was silent for a moment, standing in the middle of the family room that became Alvin's favorite place to play.

The shadow of Alvin's cheerfulness filled the memory, but was unable to fill the empty heart. It was like there was a huge gaping hole inside his chest.

His eyes glazed over, but he immediately wiped them dry. As a mother, Olivia does not want if her child who has been in another nature does not get tight because she still feels heavy releasing.

"We went into the room. You need a bath" whispered Vino in Olivia's ear and then kissed her wife's temple.

"Yes," said Olivia then slowly stepped into the room. Not until his steps reached the room, he turned towards the son's room.

Blank. Again sadness loomed on his face.

'How's this? How can I live without you, son?

Both of his lips were tightly clenched, but his heart kept chanting, his brain kept working around Alvin's memories.

Again, his eyes were foggy. This time, the clear crystal was unable to prevent sliding down the cheeks. Olivia was crying in silence.

"Darling ...." Vino clasped Olivia's body from behind, tightly embracing her waist.

Vino felt the same way. A deep sadness pierced into his chest. However, he must be tough in order to sustain the fragile body of the wife. He had to be strong in order to be a backup when Olivia cried. She also had to be as strong as a rock in order for Olivia to share the burden of grief with her. He must also be ready to be a vast ocean when Olivia cries and needs a grief diver.

Vino closed Alvin's room door. Still with Olivia's body, he took his wife away from there. Room full of memories and full of fragrant body of the son. Everything about Alvin is in that room. And all the memories of Alvin are in that room.

According to Olivia, Vino pressed his shoulder to sit on the edge of the bed. Then, the man took a towel and took a change of clothes for Olivia.

Afterwards, Vino invites Olivia to go to the bathroom. He also helped the wife take off her clothes and pulled the lifeless body up under the shower.

After Olivia's bath was done, Vino immediately left Olivia in the room. He needs food to recharge energy that seems to have been drained.

Pucuk loved ulam also arrived. Someone came to bring him food. That someone was Raisya who voluntarily cooked the menu for herself and Olivia.

"I deliberately cooked at home, brother. Poor Brother Olivia if you have to eat food from outside. He needs a lot of nutrition so that his body will recover as usual," said the girl berparas ayu with a carefree tone and a happy face.

Vino smiled faintly and nodded. Saying a lot of thanks because Raisya wants to pay attention to the wife who is in need of a lot of attention. Olivia also needs a interlocutor and a Vino flavor ... Raisya can be a good interlocutor.

"Sister should eat too. Sister Vino must be healthy and fit in order to take good care of Kak Olivia" Raisya said.

Raisya took the plate, bowl, rice container and spoon. He prepared food, poured it into the prepared container. Do not forget to take the rice and side dishes for Vino.

After that, Raisya also took rice and a bowl of vegetables for Olivia. Put it on the tray and move to Olivia's room.

Raisya knocked on the door of the room, without waiting for the approval of the person inside he immediately entered. Raisya put the food she brought to the nightstand, then sat on the edge of the bed watching Olivia who was hugging Alvin's clothes with a blank look.

Raisya's heart seemed to be sliced into pain and watched the miserable scene. He reached out, touched Olivia's hand.

Olivia looked at Raisya blankly. Her lips moved, but I didn't know what was said. Raisya herself could not hear Olivia's words clearly.

"Sister eat first. I've eaten for Sister Olivia" Raisya said in a soft voice.

"I'm not hungry. Alvin is hungry. She was alone, there was nothing nemenin" said Olivia with trembling lips.

"Sister eat yes. I'm bribe." Raisya took the rice on the plate and spooned and bribed it into Olivia's mouth.

Honestly, Raisya did not know what to say to be an entertainer for his sister-in-law. It must be very painful to lose a child in an unexpected time and on an important day. But what he can do. Man can do what if destiny wills.

Raisya took a deep breath, exhaling slowly through her mouth. He is upset and very worried about Olivia's situation.

"That's it" said Olivia.

"Just two bribes, Brother." Raisya was still thrusting the spoon in front of Olivia's mouth.

"Brand. " Olivia turned her face away. He refused to continue eating.

"Yes already. Just drink milk, let there be energy." Raisya put the plate onto the tray then took out a glass of milk that he had prepared. Not to forget, with a pipette to make it easier for Olivia to drink.

After finishing half a glass of milk, Olivia lay on her back to Raisya without speaking anything. He let Raisya out of the room in silence.

From this moment on, Olivia was pleased with the silence. For it is this silence that will lead him to meet the son.

No matter how hard he tried to ikhlash, as strong as that Alvin's memories struggled in memory. Olivia didn't understand, what was the true meaning?

Is it by forgetting Alvin's existence? Or let Alvin's memories continue to disturb his heart until the complaints and assumptions that he chanted.

Olivia doesn't know what that means?

Cellphone's ringing. His hand moved weakly picking up a flat object beside the pillow.

"Yes?" asked Olivia in a very soft voice.

"Olivia. How are you doing, son? I already know Alvin's news from Vino. Mom and I are both together, son. This is your Mom and Dad on their way. Your brother couldn't come because of his impossible condition" said a voice from a stick whose voice had been memorized by Olivia. That's mommy.

"Yes." Yeah." Olivia replied briefly. He has no energy to say at length. His strength seemed to have been sucked out until it was not left. In the end, his eyes were closed no longer listening to the mother's voice.

Olivia smiled as the shadow of Alvin's face was reflected in the eyes. His son was smiling happily.
