Past For Future's

The taste is dead

Oliv ran down the hospital corridor. Many times he bumped into other people who came across him. The stingy breath did not make him give up to continue looking for the room he was headed.

Now that he was outside a ward, he stared at the door of the room. It felt increasingly claustrophobic, his mind drifting somewhere. He turned his head towards the waiting chair, his eyes looking at the figure of the mother who was hugging her son affectionately. The woman smiled at Oliv then patted the chair next to her to code for Oliv to come sit with her.

With slow steps Oliv approached the chair and sat his body. He was still silent, there was no intention to open the conversation or just greet the woman beside him.

"Every night, huhff," Verta sighed before continuing her words. "Marcel pursues you with a car" he added which makes Oliv turn his head.

"His body's driving, but his mind's on you, Liv." Verta lowered her head while rubbing her son's head fondly. "You think Marcel is a coward and a traitor, that's a big mistake. You know?" Verta turned her head to the side to look at Oliv.

"Don't defend him so I'll go back with him. I'm just here as a human feeling." Oliv threw away his face to avoid Verta's gaze.

"Okay if you think I am. But you have to hear my version of the story." Oliv was silent but still waiting for the next words from Verta's mouth.

"We've been friends since High School, I only had him in town at the time" Verta smiled faintly, "My parents have died since I was a child. That's why I lack affection and parental upbringing. I forced Marcel to do the same heinous thing I, yaaa arguably I was stupid, lacking knowledge. I did not think that in the end I had to bear the consequences of my actions...

"Stop, Brother." Oliv cut off Verta's conversation while glancing at Boy.

"You don't have to worry. Boy knew all these stories before Marcel and I could tell them." replied Verta lightly who made Oliv gawk.

"Mom, Boy wants to play a game first. Boy play there yeah." Verta nodded gently.

"You can be disappointed with us, Liv. But don't throw all your frustration at Marcel. It's the impact of my own carelessness." Verta rubbed Oliv's hand.

"Why are you so cheap, brother?" Oliv smiled cynically.

"Even I didn't have any self-esteem at the time, Liv." Verta added Oliv's reproach. "I got kicked out of school because I was pregnant. And I never said I was pregnant with Marcel's child. Everything is my fault. I don't want Marcel's life ruined."

"Why don't you guys get married?" Oliv finally opened his voice.

"Marcel insisted on marrying me, Liv. But at that time I was in my mind. I cannot marry without love. The marriage bond between us will only cause injury. But one thing you need to know, Liv. Marcel is not a coward. He took good care of Boy, he saved our lives. Even Marcel gave some assets for my family to move on with life," Verta paused her remark, "Marcel is a good man, Liv. Marcel also needs a figure who accepts him for who he is." Verta smiled towards Oliv, "You guys love each other. You should have accepted each other. I'm sure you'll be happy. Marry Marcel, Liv."

Oliv just kept quiet not responding to Verta's words. His heart was a little filled with his true statement about Marcel, but he was already determined to end his relationship with Marcel. It was hard for him to repeat the same wound.

"Love Marcel time to fix everything, Liv." added Verta.

The door of the room in which Marcel was treated opened, featuring some professional-looking medical personnel carrying some files.

"Family Patient?"

"It's true, Doc." Verta stood up enthusiastically to welcome the Doctor. But Oliv still did not budge. He is still loyal to his attitude.

"The patient's condition is currently stable. But while the patient has paralysis due to a collision in the shin bone is strong enough to cause the bone to crack." Obviously Doctor.

"Crippled, Doc?" Verta was surprised.

Oliv's listening to all of Doctor and Verta's conversations. Actually, he cares, but refuses to show his attitude. However, he must repair his relationship with his parents.

"I'll take care of the administration first. You go inside Marcel's guard first huh. Marcel is not yet human. You calm down." Verta patted Oliv's shoulder.

Oliv remained silent, in fact he wanted to go home immediately after confirming the state of Marcel. But his heart held him back from staying here.

Oliv stood up from his seat to go home, but again his heart was difficult to compromise. He really wanted to make sure Marcel was in the room.

"OKay Oliv. Back to the initial mode. He just thinks you're a sister. So what's wrong with a sister visiting her brother." muttered Oliv with a heart that returned sore.

Oliv circulated his gaze in a plain white room where there were many medical devices lined up near the gurney. His eyes were now focused on the figure of the man lying weakly on top of the gurney with several bandages attached to his body.

Oliv stepped slowly and tried to tread without a sound. He saw a handsome face that still fills his brain and mind. Oliv's chest still feels tight even though he already knows the whole story about Marcel.

His hands stretched out rubbing the bandaged part of Marcel's face. It feels like just yesterday he hugged the warm body of Marvel, but now it is different. He could no longer continue his journey of love, had enough wounds for all this time. Now Oliv knows why his parents did not approve of his relationship with Marcel.

"Sorry.." Only a soft voice came out of Oliv's mouth.

Oliv clasped Marcel's uninfused hand. Instantly he remembers his struggle to get Marcel's love. Starting from a deal they build, until feelings arise in one of them. Oliv remembers very well how Marcel loved his sister-in-law Moon, despite her relationship status being in a relationship with Oliv. Oliv sighed then put Marcel's hand back.

"Everything is enough. I have struggled a lot all this time. Sorry, but this time I couldn't. I have to respect my parents' decision. I can't risk my heart any deeper. Thank you for filling my days even though your heart is still for the Moon." Oliv smiled wryly while looking up to hold the clear strands of his eyes so as not to fall. "I'm saying goodbye, yeah. You need to heal."

Cuppy

Oliv kissed Marcel's forehead with melted tears. Long enough Oliv put his lips on Marcel's forehead while rubbing his head. Weight. It feels like I can't face everything. The embedded taste has managed to grow perfectly, but this time it has to be trimmed down. And this time it should stomp dead every taste that comes back to grow. Stuffy. But he was no longer able to get hurt.

While from behind the door, a woman who had also been injured all this time, observed the scene in front of her in silence. Only his sobs bore a silent witness against him. He sacrifices his self-worth to maintain the relationships of others.
