Olives

Ever lost

" bian sir, take the medicine first well, keep it out of bed. "olive handed the medicine and a glass of water to the fabian.

" thank you. "

" yes, you're welcome. Then I go into the room first.  Good night, "said olive bowing her body to fabian.

" olive, can accompany me to sleep here. "olive stood and rounded his eyes to hear the request of fabian.

" don't think too far, I won't say anything to you" said Fabian as if he knew what was on his little wife's mind.  Olive swallowed her saliva confused by what she should do now.

"elive... "

"yes sir, I want to put the dirty dishes into the kitchen first. "

" don't put it outside, in front of the door.  Tomorrow it's just getting ripped off. "

" i. yes sir. "

You can imagine now, how hard olive tried hard to close her eyes to quickly fall asleep was this close to fabian whose notation was her husband. Whether fabian heard it or not, but his heart beat was currently beating hard, so he was sure that fabian could hear the rhythm of his heart that continued to beat the gendrang war.  How not, now Fabian brings olive into his arms that can not be denied, feels warm and a little comfortable.

" have you ever, ever felt like you lost someone who meant something to life?" ask fabian from the top of olive's head.

Olive nodded her head softly answering fabian's question.

" who? "

" mama is equally papa. "olive know, fabian slightly stiffened to hear the answer, because during his stay with fabian, olive had never seen or just heard about fabian parents.

"they've gone far to a better and quiet place there" said Olive, recalling her parents.

" mama left while struggling to give birth to me, and papa left because of a heart attack. "added olive, inexplicably she was so vividly telling her life to a fabian she had not known too closely, she said, olive felt fabian needs to know if he also ever felt lost so that fabian realized that melissa's death was not because of someone else's fault, but the best destiny given by God.

" i also felt very, very lost when they left, let alone mama, even I had never seen the face of mama in this real life, he said,  during this time papa can only tell about mom through stories and photos. Even I did not have time to repay the sacrifices and struggles of my mother during pregnancy to give birth to me in this beautiful world. A. I haven't had time to feel her warm embrace, fragrant palms and soft touch. "without feeling olive shedding tears in her fabian embrace.

" father, the great man who tried to be a father and also a mother to me, who took care of me from childhood until he breathed his last. Papa who is willing to wake up early, sleep at night to keep me fussy at night, sacrificing his sleep to keep me. even though in the morning you have to leave me to a daycare because he has to work to meet our needs, and will return to pick me up in the afternoon.I realize, I know,  I will not be able to make all the sacrifices, will not be able to.  Until finally, when I was 5 years old, papa married again with mama sarah who incidentally is also a mother who has a child of the age of 5, papa married again , in the hope that there will be a surrogate mother figure who takes good care of me, and her kindness ends after papa leaves, until finally making me adi like this."  olive let go of her embrace and equalized the position of her head with bian's head staring at the man gently.

" i know, bian sir also felt very lost with the departure of melissa, I can understand because I was also once in the same position as Pak bian. But sir, God is the best planner for all his creatures including us.  God knows better for us. Whether it's about life or even death.I'm sure melissa is a good person, so god doesn't want to make melissa feel prolonged pain for too long,  god wanted to take away the pain that melissa was suffering at that time, because god loved Melissa.  Melissa left it because of fate sir, not someone else's fault, though indeed the path went so quickly . I believe God has prepared a greater happiness for you, after this incident.  That's also if the father is patient and reliable to face all this.  Our task now is to pray for them from here, so that they may be given the best place by God's side.  Don't worry, God willing I will help you through all this, we will fight together ok!. "said olive widen his smile strengthen fabiann and himself. While fabian nodded his head slowly approving olive's speech.  For the first time Olive saw the look of fabian eyes that were so shady and soft, making her heart rustle comfortably.

" thank you for reminding me and reminding me. Help me to accept this fate "fabian said sincerely and was taken slowly by olive.

" less polite than where sir bian, I said that slang children of the present era. "answer olive does not agree with the words fabian.

" i was that...

" i'm liv, not me. "cut bian does not like the word I always use olive to call himself.

" it's good, ME, it's not me.  Also if you talk about it really formal like another meeting with clients know not. "

" oh yeah? "

" yes, do you cook that? "

" no. "fabian's short answer, making olive breathe out slowly.

"you're sleeping, tomorrow's school. "

" tomorrow I don't want to go to school" said Olive blinking her lips to make fabian gaunty made.

" why, you want to be stupid. "

" no sir, if I******, how would you teach the kids later if there is a duty from school. "

" why not go to school tomorrow? " tanya fabian stared intently at olive.

" the school is closed. "answered back to staring fabian, though not as sharp as him.

" close?  Wh why? "

" jeez, sir, tomorrow is Sunday, the red date so we're off.  Cook me in the school, where there are teachers who teach. "

Fabian patted his forehead softly, he completely forgot that tomorrow was a holiday for him as well. Everything is chaotic because the contents of his head are only filled with an olive figure, to make his work partially neglected has not been touched.

" it's natural if you forget, it's the name of the age factor." said olive just like that, without being filtered first.

" i don't forget, on purpose." elak fabian

Olive again flicked her lips in disbelief "intentionally, let's not be caught lying if the father actually forgot. "instead of answering the olive speech, fabian even re-hugged the tiny body of olive in his arms.
