Because of the curiosity that still haunts him, the young girl asked, “Eh, Arka, I want to ask, how can the hell om Steve be there and join our meeting?” ask Olivia.
“Yes, yes he is our investor, so he is there to meet with us. Why then?”
Olivia just shook her head, “Nothing the hell,”
“So at first anyway, I also did not know if it turns out om Steve is one of our investors.”
“Kok you can't know that? You will often meet and join meetings with important people like earlier.” Ask Olivia.
“Yes because om Steve also recently joined the meeting like earlier, usually he just sent his personal assistant to come.”
“Owh, so. But you already know him, Iha keep going when we want to lunch that?”
“Yes, I started to know him too when we were going to lunch. I've known for a long time what the name of the owner of Alexa company, but I've never met Steve at all before. Yes, just yesterday this same met him. I was also a bit surprised when I saw him there.”
“Emm, that's it. I thought you had known him for a long time, I asked you,”
“Eh yes Liv, why the hell was yesterday you pretending to think I was your girlfriend when I met Steve at the place to eat it?”
While widening the smile Olivia replied,” He... he... he..
“Totally?”
“Yes, no need to discuss. You focus the same way. Remember there's a fairy in your car.” joked Olivia.
“Can you Liv,” they laugh together.

A few days later.
When Olivia came home from work, the young girl was bothered to bring a few piles of paper. And when he got to the door of his office building. But a few moments later, there was someone who accidentally bumped into him to make the papers scattered on the floor.
“Sorry mbak, sorry.” Said the person who then left without helping Olivia pick up the scattered papers.
Olivia picked the paper up one by one from the floor. But in the last few papers, suddenly there was the figure of a tall man in a shirt helping him take the papers. His net was staring at the man from the tip of his foot to the tip of his head. Olivia was a little stunned, because the man who was helping her was none other than Steve.
“Om Steve,” greet Olivia with her slightly enlarged net, but she also tried to hide her surprise.
He returned to pick up the papers again with the help of Steve.
“Let me help,” Steve gives an offer.
But the young girl was again silent, she was even reluctant to talk to Steve.
After it was felt that no more paper was scattered on the floor, Steve then handed it over, “This is the paper, next time if the road is careful, and so on,” said Steve while thrusting the papers that are in his hand.
With an awkward face, Olivia accepted. “Still yes om.” Said Olivia turning her gaze away who then walked away just like that.
Steve suddenly stopped his footsteps.
“Olivia wait,” exclaim Steve.
The young girl stopped immediately, and immediately Steve walked quickly to stand in front of Olivia.
“You why don't you want to see me?” ask the man.
But the young girl kept quiet.
While the young girl could only bow her head.
“Can we talk to Olivia?” say Steve again.
Olivia then asked Steve to speak outside the building where he worked.
“If you want to talk to me, we should talk outside. Here are many colleagues, and it is not nice if they see us.” Olivia.
“Alright,” Steve also followed the wishes of the young girl.
Until in the end they also walked together out of the building and looking for the right place to chat.
Right next to the building, there is a small park where there are several chairs that have been provided for the visitors. Olivia sat down, hugging the pile of paper. Similarly, Steve, who also sat with his legs open next to the young girl.
“Now tell me, what would Steve talk to me about?” Ask Olivia with a sour face.
Without further ado, Steve said, “I'm sorry if it made you disappointed,”
“Only that?” asked Olivia to glance.
While looking down Steve continued to say, “It turns out I just realized that you are indeed what I need.”
Suddenly Olivia turned to look at the man next to her, “What do you mean?” cetus Olivia's.
“Om feel lonely,” replied Steve briefly.
“Continue to om what? Om came here looking for me just so that om has friends, and after om already feel not lonely anymore om will throw me away!”
Olivia immediately moved from her seat with a heart full of anger.
“I used to think the worst thing in life was ending up alone. But it wasn't. The worst thing in my life is to end up with people who make me feel alone. And it was from you that I began to realize, that it turns out you are the one who can fill my emptiness Olivia.”
“But sorry om, it is not that easy om can melt my heart that has already been disappointed.”
“Olivia, I beg you, let's fix the relationship that once receded. To be honest I just don't believe in myself because the age difference is so very far between the two of us.”
“That's not an excuse!”
“But Olivia, my speech is not just a death appeal. I'm saying this because I've realized how important you are to me.”
“It's om, I'm tired. I want to go home, and it is not easy for me to eliminate that disappointment.” said Olivia who then left Steve.
After her footsteps stopped right on the side of the road, immediately, Olivia stopped a taxi passing in front of her at that time. his tears broke again considering Steve's words that could always melt his heart again.
“What the hell does he want! Why did he come and give me hope again! I just want to live happily, God, I no longer want to feel the disappointment that always comes to torment my heart! Hisk... hisk... hisk...” Inner Olivia who keeps crying along the way.
Arriving at his apartment, he immediately took off everything he was wearing, ranging from his heels, his blazer, and a mini bag that he threw just like that on the living room sofa. He immediately dropped his body on the bed.
“I hate this, I hate all this! All this time I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of this feeling for him! But the truth is, she is always present and present unexpectedly!” olivia's mind continued to vent her frustration.
It is ironic indeed the fate of this young girl. Renata friend who has been a witness to his life is now back home. Even they rarely communicate because they already have their own activities.
Although Arka had been very close to him, but Olivia still could not share the story of his life with people he did not believe too much. And he also prefers to keep his meetings from anyone but people he already trust.
Seriate….
