Black Swan's

Black Swan's
Mad Man (One Hundred Thirty Four)



            “I'll be back later.”


            Olivia kept her back to Scout when the man unhappily peeked at her cheek and stroked her head slowly. He didn't expect Scout would wait here for hours after he was drugged with drugs. The man must have been afraid he would kill his son, so he deliberately lingered in his room for as long as he was unconscious.


            “Huh, finally.” Olivia let out a sigh of relief after she heard the sound of a closed door behind her and the sound of Scout's footsteps drifting away. He was really tortured as long as the man was here. When he realized earlier, he immediately stiffened because Scout was still beside his cage while playing a cellphone. Then as he made a small movement due to his sore waist, the man had suddenly switched his gaze while smiling sweetly staring at his flat stomach. The man's face looked very sparkling with a strange look of eyes that made Olivia shudder in horror at the thought. He thinks the thought of Scout is enough to get here. He no longer wants to burden his brain with Scout who incidentally is a crazy man who is so obsessed with him after the night when the incident. My God, Olivia is really fed up with a guy named Scout Voyage.


            Linger lying makes Olivia sore and bored. He then sat himself slowly while arranging his pillow behind his back so that he could support his waist and hips.


            “Hmm.. This is better.”


            “Olive.”


            As Olivia was closing her eyes to feel the soft sensation of the pillow propping her hips, Nathan suddenly walked into her room while showing off her wide grin.


            “You're better?”


            “I think yes.” replied Olivia lazily.


            “I get a report from the nurses if you were just about to commit suicide?”


            “Actually no, I just want to bluff.” Olivia felt lazy if she had to be reminded of the event. He didn't think he would stab himself in the stomach with a fruit knife. All he wanted was for Scout to leave his room as he bullied the man. But a group of nurses actually misunderstood and gave him drugs to paralyze him from the reckless idea he was doing.


           “Stay alone it's dangerous, Olive.” scolds Nathan irritated. He approached Olivia immediately and placed his hand on her forehead to check her temperature.


            “I have no fever.”


            “Just want to make sure. You haven't eaten your food?”


            “I'm not hungry.”


            “But you have to eat. I'll bribe you.”


            “Ck Nathan...” breaks Olivia's annoyance when Nathan forces her to open her mouth as she scoops a meat soup gravy towards her mouth. “Why do you keep hanging around here? Shouldn't Laila be the one hanging around in the mother and daughter ward?”


            “Laila is taking care of twins Eden.”


            “How is it?” ask Olivia enthusiastically. He finally opened his mouth resignedly as Nathan thrust a spoonful of soup and meat into his mouth. He was tired of challenging Nathan.


            “Good, Eden gave birth by caesarean because the baby was big. Now the twins are breastfeeding their mother in their room.”


            “Aciel and Eden sure are happy once now.”


            “Of course. Laila even claimed to be envious of their happiness. She said she wanted to have another baby.”


            “That's a great idea.” replied Olivia listlessly. They should not procrastinate to have children because they are in a capacity for it. Not like him and Sian.


            “Yes, we are discussing that. By the way, I saw a man come out of this room. Dia...” Nathan immediately stopped his sentence when he saw the look on Olivia's face turned cloudy. Suddenly tears welled up in the woman's eyes, and dripped as Olivia could not hold on any longer.


            “That's the father of this baby.”


            Nathan didn't react for a while. He thinks it would be unfair if he judged Olivia for something he himself did not know the root of the problem.


            “Can you explain to me what happened, Liv?”


            “I'm pregnant baby other man.”


            Olivia was too tired to tell me all about it. All of those stories only brought to his memory that night and left him covered in a great sense of guilt for Sian.


            “Do you know where Sian is now?”


            Olivia decided to turn their topic into Sian. At least the short answer already represents his current state of anxiety. And he hopes Nathan can understand the problem right now.


            “Say Aciel you don't have to worry, it's in a safe place.”


            “So yes. I'm happy if he's okay.” said Olivia nanar. “I'm full, Nath. Can you keep that food away from me? I want to puke.” Olivia's pinta. He did not lie about the condition of his stomach that suddenly felt nauseous. He himself was actually still reluctant to eat if Nathan did not force him like before.


            “Do you want to get out? See twins Eden and Aciel?”


            Olivia did not answer Nathan's call. Honestly, he really wanted to go there, but he was afraid that he would disturb the happy couple. Eden knew everything. His appearance there would definitely make Eden feel sympathetic to him.


            “Eden would be happy if you visited him. There's Laila there too.”


            “Alright, take me to the room Eden.” said Olivia finally. Maybe with his departure to visit Eden, it can make his heart a little comforted.


            “Did that guy bother you? Threatening you?” nathan asked as they walked along the hallway of the hospital. With clumsily Nathan rubbed his back hair stiff, and a little misbehaved because the question was too curious, like being interrogated.


            “Slightly. She's become more and more disturbing since she found out that I was pregnant with her child.”


            “Where did he know that?”


            “Sian. They are business partners. Scout was the architect who designed the new factory building Ford Company.”


            “The world is really narrow ya.” comments Nathan bitter. He no longer knew what to say to Olivia. Their journey to Eden's room had practically become stiff and strange. Nathan becomes awkward next to Olivia, while Olivia herself chooses to stay quiet along the way because she no longer wants to talk about anything about her problems.


            “This is the room.” let Nathan know when they stop in front of Eden's special room.


            “Don't worry about me.” Olivia puts on a smile in front of Nathan. “I will perform well in front of them.” continued Olivia before she pushed open the Eden outpatient room door plan that from the outside sounded so crowded.


            “Aunty Olive!” pekik Ciara along with Louise. They dua compactly ran up to Olivia and hugged the woman to the waist.


            “Say mommy aunty is sick because she is carrying a baby sister. Ciara is happy because Justice will also have a baby sister like Ciara.” said the little girl cheerfully. Eden seemed to be smiling bitterly from the top of her cage. I want to feel he approached Olivia, but he has not been allowed to move too much after a cesarean section.


            “Hai, congratulations yes.”


            Although Olivia told Nathan that she would perform well, Olivia could not hide her sadness in front of Eden.


            “From, sitting next to me.”


            “I want to see the twins.”


            Before Olivia decided to sit next to Eden, she first dragged her infusion pole towards the two baby boxes placed near the window. In the baby box, Olivia can see two tiny babies who look so cute with their fingers clenched together. Olivia's little heart was instantly filled. She imagined how her own baby was currently growing inside her womb. If the baby was born, it would be as funny as Eden's babies. He then remembered that the baby had never sinned at all. He would have sinned against the baby if he had done anything stupid that would have put the baby's life at risk.


            “This handsome Si is very similar to Aciel. Her lips and wrinkles on her face.” Olivia comments without the slightest turn towards Eden. He deliberately kept his back to Eden and Aciel so that the two men could not see his teary eyes.


            “Oya, you don't have to worry about Sian's whereabouts. He's at home now.” tell Aciel straightforwardly.  Despite feeling sorry for Olivia, Aciel tries to act ordinary, as if nothing ever happened to them.


            “Thank you for looking for him.”


            “Sure. Sian is my best friend, I won't just shut up if he's in trouble.”


            Conscious or not, Aciel actually wants to tell Olivia if she won't keep quiet about their problems. If necessary, he will take decisive steps to push back the already overstretched Scout on the Sian family.


            Olivia stood in front of the baby box for fifteen minutes. During that time, no one asked him to speak. Olivia was left silent while looking at the cute Eden babies. They really hope that it can cheer up a little Olivia's heart that is in turmoil.


            “What do you think? Aren't they funny?”


            “Very funny. Moreover, Theo cheek, I want to bite him.” said Olivia more cheerful. Eden secretly felt relieved when she saw Olivia's sweet smile on her pale face.


            “That's baby. They are very cute little creatures. Seeing those who are so petite and holy, such as being able to make our feelings warm up. The burden on our shoulders will feel lighter after seeing their adorable faces. As much as possible we will raise them with sincere affection, and not let anyone hurt them.”


            Olivia felt slapped by Eden's words. Although he knew if the words were not necessarily spoken to insinuate him, but his little heart just accused him as the evil antagonist. He had thought to kill the baby in his womb, but the baby was completely innocent in this matter. Wasn't she a cruel mother?


            “I think I should go back to the room. I'm a little dizzy.”


            Eden, who was chatting with Laila, suddenly stopped her chatter while staring at Olivia.


            “I'll accompany you to room.”


            “No need. You're here with them, Nath.”


            Olivia desperately held Nathan to remain still in her sitting position. He immediately said goodbye to the others, and walked out of Eden's ward with a face down that was heartbreaking for Eden.


            “Did I say wrong?”


            “After that, he was in need of time to reflect.” entertain Aciel while pulling Eden into his arms.


            “What's with aunty Olivia?” ask Ciara wonder.


            “Aunty is sick, so aunty has to go back to the room as soon as possible.” tell Nathan who happens to be sitting next to the little girl.


            “Hopefully they immediately solve their problems in a good way.”


            “Well I hope so. Poor Olive, she is pregnant, but her mind is burdened by problems from her environment.”


-00-


            Sian grasped a bouquet of roses while sighing many times at the end of the hallway of Olivia's treatment room. His heart is now beating strongly, proving he was hit by severe nervousness before meeting his wife. Long enough she made the decision to see Olivia tonight. Previously he had received a long lecture from Aciel when he took the time to look at Eden and his twin nephew. Aciel said he shouldn't be a cowardly man who just leaves to run from his problems. As an adult man and a father, he is expected to bring harmony in his family. Although Aciel also admitted in front of him, making peace with yourself is indeed very difficult. He was always angry whenever he imagined what Olivia had done before. The woman was pregnant with another man's baby, it was a very painful fact for her. But he could not let all those problems drag on into a pile of anger that further tormented his heart. Slowly he has to compromise with Olivia and talk about the fate of the baby later.


            Sian stepped with heavy strides along the deserted hospital hallway. Obviously not many patients or families of patients pass by at half-ten like this. Only a fool like her decided to pay a visit to Olivia's room this late in hope when she came the woman was sleeping, so he would have the opportunity to prepare himself while waiting for the woman to wake up.


            Sian stopped in Olivia's room, whose door was not shut. Sian slowly pushed the door and peeked at it briefly from outside, hoping that Olivia was indeed sleeping inside. But when he peered into the room, he was surprised by a very eye-destroying scene. A man who stood his back to the door, was rubbing Olivia's hair gently and occasionally smirking Olivia's cheeks softly. There was no sign of Olivia picking up there. Olivia was seen enjoying all of that while lying on her back to the man. Angrily, Sian burst into the room and threw the flower as it made a loud sound as the flower lined the wall. The reflex of the man who had turned his back on Sian turned his body, and made Sian instantly startled at the appearance of the man.


            “Scout?”


            Olivia, who had fallen asleep before, immediately turned her body as her ears caught the noise in her room. With her consciousness yet to fully recover, Olivia saw Sian and Scout facing each other in her room while giving off an aura of hostility that was so thick.


            “So you're the fucking guy?” sis Sian wrathful. The feeling of betrayal re-inflated into his heart. And when his gaze met with Olivia's teary eyes, Sian suddenly felt angry and disgusted at the woman.


            “You were silent as he kissed your cheek!” accuse Sian of being overcast with a dead red face. Olivia who just woke up from her sleep was confused by Sian's accusation.


            “Ap what happened?” asked Olivia in a trembling voice. Tears of pain kept pouring down to flood her pale face. It actually did not escape the slightest supervision of Sian. The man actually put his pity on Olivia, but the pain of being betrayed was far greater than his mother's taste for the woman.


            “Halo Sian's. Thank you for the information you gave me. That way, now I know if now I will have a child.”


            “Job!”


Bugh


            Scout falls under the feet of Olivia's cage. Fresh blood instantly seeped out from the corner of Scout's lips and created a deep bluish bruise there.


            “Sian, no...” please Olivia sobbing. He did not intend to defend Scout at all. He just didn't want any commotion in his room. Today he missed too many difficult things. And he needs rest to recover his condition that keeps dropping.


            “You're more defending this fucking guy.”


            Again Sian accused him of heinous charges. Didn't know the man was very sick when he heard all the heinous accusations that Sian had leveled at him since yesterday.


            Scout immediately got up to his feet after wiping away a bit of blood at the corner of his lips. Sian's punch actually sent a very painful throbbing at the corner of Scout's lips. But as a true man, he had to stand firmly in front of his opponent in order for him to maintain his sky-high self-esteem.


            “You're wrong, you abandoned your wife and hurt her.”


            “You shit!”


            This time Scout held back Sian's punch and pushed the man hard backwards. The impulse made Sian almost fall, but he managed to control himself to stay standing.


            “Please don't quarrel here.” please Olivia is full of tears. His voice sounded soft, almost like the sound of a suffocating chicken that was about to die. Olivi's entire body was now trembling in fear due to the anger of the two men.


            “Why didn't you tell me, Olive? If I knew this man who had touched you, I would have killed him.”


            “Sian plis, do not aggravate this problem. I just don't want our family to be ruined.”


            “Huh, you're actually getting this family destroyed with your residence. Are you happy now? You managed to fool everyone with your deceptive innocent face!”


            “Stop! Don't hurt Olivia again.”teen Beaver Scout. He really doesn't like to see this heartbreaking family drama. The two of them are like two main characters in a soap drama who are maintaining their own egos.


            “Scout, can you come out? Go home. I want to solve this problem with my husband.”


            Olivia deliberately put the word husband in her sentence to reinforce her status. And Olivia can see the annoyed look printed on Scout's face as she deliberately confirms Sian's status here.


            “You also still have a problem with me. Tomorrow I'll be here again to talk about the status of the boy.” Scout blatantly glanced at Olivia's flat stomach hidden under the covers. If the woman had deliberately hurt him by saying the word husband clearly, then now she would also hurt Sian by clarifying the status of her child.


            “Thanks Scout. I know you're a good man.”


            Before exiting Olivia's room, Scout was stunned by the sentence. He's a good guy? Scout seemed to doubt that. No good man has the ambition to take another man's wife.
