“No, this is not true. Olivia, what are you saying this is kidding right?” Ask Steve to press.
“Om, look Olivia in the eye now. Does Olivia look like she's kidding right now?” seriously said.
“But Olivia, how can you like om? While our age is very different far.” Steve Assertively.
“I don't care about age, um. Because love is age-independent,”
The man was surprised to round out his two neutrals after hearing Olivia's confession, he immediately gulped his saliva rough, then patted Olivia's head slowly.
“Olivia, um tell ya. So far, om consider you as just a child om only, and no more than that.” said Steve slowly.
Olivia's face was disappointed. He seemed to not accept the reality he had to hear at that moment. All this time, he believed in Steve.
“What's Om, so all this time I just think of me like my own son?!” ask the young girl.
Steve nodded as he explained back to her, “Iya Olivia. Om already love you, but this affection is only limited to children and parents only. You see, you are a good child, a child who needs affection and attention. Therefore, you just want you not to misunderstand. And we will not be possible there is a romantic relationship like a lover.”
Hearing that at once the tip of Olivia's eyelids also let out tears. He looked at Steve's face full of annoyance. This heartache is amazingly different from usual, not the same when he gets rough treatment from his parents. This time the pain was more profound like the depths of an ocean trough. Disappointed for sure, sad too yes, but want how again.
“Om evil! It turns out that Om is the same as them! It just gives me false hope! I hate Steve! I hate! Hisk... hisk... hisk...” exclaimed Olivia while hitting the small chest of the man.
The feeling of fear returned to him. As soon as possible he left Steve and walked towards his apartment unit.
While walking Olivia could only cry lamenting her fate, “I'm too stupid, I'm too crazy! Why should I trust that guy! Why should I like him too! And why do I expect too much of him, if I end up hurting! Hisk... hisk... hisk...”.
Until he did not feel his footsteps had now arrived at the door, he immediately entered and took off the sneakers he was wearing. He also slammed his bag on the sofa just like that.
He sat down and hugged his knees in front of his couch, regretting the words he had spoken to the man he liked.
Thirty minutes had already been the time he had spent crying out all his own vexation and heartache there. He got up and walked to the bathroom sink to wash his face.
After the second blow, he looked at his own face from the mirror.
“From now on I will change! I don't want to cry like this anymore! I don't want to be hurt anymore! I have to be happy, I have to be happy! Yes, they are all toxic! I deserve to be happy!” he said it himself with a breath.

Two months passed, the graduation event is now going to be held soon. Olivia did not want the presence of her two masters. A wide paper invitation for the parents of the student students he deliberately did not give to Rani or Jonatan. Because he thinks they will not be able to attend the important event. Because all this time they didn't care about him
Even Olivia has decided that she no longer wants to be in touch with her parents. As bad and as hard as it may be, he wanted to deal with it himself, for him his parents were dead in the earth.
Sitting in the sky, that's what he does every night. While holding a cup of warm coffee Olivia flinching, “I feel relieved, finally soon I'm willing to graduate, so I can't wait to find work and have my own income.”
Ringing the phone rang, he immediately grabbed his phone which was on his corner table.
“Hem, hello Re,”
“Hallo beautiful,”
“What's up?”
“What are you doing again?”
“Nothing anyway.”
“It's not clear,”
“He... he... he... Eh, have you been dazed yet? We want graduation.”
“Udah,”
“Good if you have. Em... liv,”
“Iya, why?”
“Do you really do not want to tell mommy to your papi if soon want graduation?”
“No, why tell them. It's not important. They won't care either.”
“Do you want to try first?”
“Re! Yes, yes, please. I want to live quietly, so please don't take me back to the past!”
“Sorry, sorry Liv. But I just feel sorry for you. At the graduation event later, all our friends will definitely be in ngundang his parents and their families will come at the precious event.”
“Continue?!”
“Yes, cook you alone Liv,”
“Re, I don't care! Want me alone, want me to come rame-rame I don't care! That's my show, anyway. I would have told you several times, too, if I wanted to live my own life! whatever my circumstances, I want to take responsibility for myself! And please, if you still think of me as your best friend, please don't talk about them anymore! I'm sick of it, I'm tired! I want to live happily Re, can you help me?!” olivia's resolute.
“Iya, yes sorry. I said it like this because I care about you, Liv.”
“Thank you because you care about Re. Inget ya Re, please do not discuss the two of them, even about Steve. Understand, it's enough suffering that I've experienced so far.”
“Iya, sorry, sorry Liv. Not that I want to make you sad again.”
It is very nyesek hear it, but even though he must be able to choose the right choice for his life in the future. Although it felt very hard for him to live. However, everything he did was simply to make his life happy.
Since that incident, Olivia has begun to limit her relationship with her family. In fact, he had also changed his personal mobile number which he used to wear. Only a few people may know his phone number.
A dashed hope keeps all his dreams buried, but his strong soul makes him have to rise from the slump.
Planning ahead after all campus affairs are completed and after he gets a steady job, he wants to return all the items he has to his parents. He also wants to move out of that apartment. He wants what he has to do with his own hard work.
