Thomas had sighed who-knows-how-many times. His in-laws, Olive, and the man he had just met as his father-in-law's friend and boss had successfully left him feeling helpless. Okay, Thomas would tell one by one what happened once he entered the boarding house.
As he knew, Olive was overjoyed to find out her mother was still there. She even promised a special homemade dinner. Olive's smile never faded throughout the journey back. Although, yeah... it gave Thomas a stomach ache because of her confusing analogies.
That was because of a phone call from his mother in Bogor.
"Anyway, if I get pregnant, you're responsible! I don't want to deal with a baby!!!"
Ugh! Olive's statement was truly a test for Thomas.
And that wasn't all, because as soon as he came home and Olive happily stepped out of the car, they were surprised by the pile of groceries in the corner. Meanwhile, his in-laws ruled the kitchen. No, Thomas didn't mind the messy kitchen. In fact, he

Kalina, Seira, and three of Olive's friends. Oh, and one more, of course. The new guy who always teases Yossie until she gets annoyed and frustrated but can't refuse. Andre is truly remarkable! So, on this Saturday morning, Thomas and Olive's apartment is filled with just their voices.Their intention for coming is to help Olive prepare for the reception that will take place in less than three weeks. Although they had a rough discussion with the wedding organizer two days ago, the final details have yet to be determined. Well... even though Olive isn't overly fussy, it turns out that everyone gathered here is the troublemaker."I think Aunt Koni should be the makeup artist. It's good, you know. I like it. I look so pretty," Riana praises with sparkling eyes."You're beautiful because of the makeup, proudy," Darius sneers while flipping through each sample of the invitation template."Ugh! Why don't you mind your own business!"Darius chose to turn

Yossie just nods. This is Olive's event, but why is she bothering herself? Well, for Yossie, Olive is more than just a coworker. They've leveled up to being friends. That's why she doesn't mind being bothered like this. She's actually quite happy, especially when she gets to hang out with Riana and Darius. When else would that happen? Even if she has to be constantly followed by Andre. Ugh, that kid is such a bother!"Now, for the other invitations, just use this one. It's more practical," Olive points to the beautiful black mugs."Done then for the souvenirs." Yossie double-checks her list."What about the bridesmaids?" Riana interrupts. "Your big day is just around the corner. Don't let those dresses go unprepared. I'll be mad!""Mom's got that sorted," says Kalina, making everyone turn towards her. "Mom's friends are coming here. They'll take your measurements and let you choose the models you like. The ones in Bogor have already been prepared; it's ju

The man adjusted his shirt, looking in disbelief at the building where his journey had led him this evening. The deafening music that made his heart race was already audible. Other visitors who were starting to arrive seemed relaxed and oblivious to their surroundings.Nathan grinned, "Is this Olive's mom's workplace?" Then, he let out an annoyed sigh. "If it weren't for Naina, I really wouldn't want to enter a place like this. I'd prefer a private party." Unfortunately, his grumbling didn't deter him from his mission.He had to go inside to make sure the woman he met for the first time in the hospital and requested her time to meet Naina really worked here. Nathan thought that if it was true that Olive's mother worked here, it wouldn't be difficult to get her to leave, would it? Consider it a booking.Nathan chuckled at his previous thoughts. He walked into the building without hesitation, and as soon as he stepped inside, the music overwhelmed him. At a glance

Seira furrowed her brow when she found a little kid sitting in the front chair. She had placed it there to welcome guests who might come to visit. Usually, she would use it to sit and enjoy her cup of coffee and her cigarettes."Who's that, Seira?"The woman turned and smiled faintly. "There's only one child brave enough to do this with me, Ro."Robert raised an eyebrow. "If it's too disruptive, make sure to give your warning, Seira."Seira immediately nodded. "I will. Because this child also made Olive angry yesterday."Robert gently patted Seira's back as he followed her every move, especially as she approached the little girl who appeared to be asleep there."Parjo," Seira called without needing to turn around. She was sure that the man would never be far from her little mistress."Yes, Mrs. Seira.""What is Naina doing here?" she asked with her arms folded across her chest. Her eyes fixed on the girl who was now squirming a

"So, are you serious, Tom?" Matthew asked while placing the wedding invitation he had just received. This was the last time he inquired about Thomas's decision. It wasn't because of the wedding invitation he had just received, dear God, no. That was a different matter. In fact, Matthew was delighted that he had finally received an invitation from his hardworking junior."Dead serious, Sir," Thomas said with a confident tone. It had been two weeks since he had a significant meeting with his boss, where there was a lot of persuasion involved to get Thomas to stay. Even the salary negotiation had left Thomas breathless. But he had made up his mind.His mother always told him that determination and unwavering belief in anything he chose to pursue were signs from God to bless his life. So, Thomas had no doubts when he decided to continue working at Savefund Senayan, even if it meant moving to the headquarters. Bachelor didn't understand why he hesitated."Okay, if th

The restaurant Robert chose this time made Olive can't stop staring at its interior. She tightens her grip on Thomas's hand. "It's nice, right? The restaurant."Thomas just grins. He is sure this is not just an ordinary dinner. Since he met Robert Arka Nendratama, the middle-aged man's gaze has never been far from his father-in-law. From Olive's stories about Seira's past, in which Olive was also involved, Thomas somewhat understands why his father-in-law preferred to be alone.But one thing that amazes him is Robert's loyalty and unwavering love, which eventually might change his mother-in-law's mind.Thomas has witnessed more than a few times how Robert gave Seira some 'touches'. They're not excessive, just a gentle pat on her shoulder, or her head, or even just a subtle smile accompanied by a sweet expression of gratitude and praise for Seira."When are you going to take me to a place like this?" Olive pouts playfully. "You're so annoying."Why

Thomas's first reaction is to choke. Robert's words are clear and very convincing, making him utterly surprised. He never expected that this dinner would take such a turn. Thomas was about to speak, but Olive's voice beat him to it"I... didn't hear that correctly, did I?" Olive blinks slowly, gazing intently at the middle-aged man near her. "Uncle... What did you just say?""Uncle wants to propose to you."Olive's mouth hangs wide open, completely astounded. "Uncle, you're not sick or something, are you?""No, I'm not. I happened to have my monthly check-up. My blood pressure is fine, my cholesterol and blood sugar levels are healthy.""Why are you speaking all jumbled up?" Olive shudders. "Uncle, you know I'm already married, right?""I know." Robert smiles widely. "Proposing here doesn't mean anything strange, Olive."Perhaps because Olive ignored his previous warning. But what can he do? Robert needed to speak with Olive, in his o

"Tired?" Thomas asked as he held the door open for Olive. Since she got into the car after bidding farewell to her mother and her soon-to-be stepfather, she hadn't said a word. Instead, she chose to lean back comfortably, her hand safely nestled in Thomas's grip."Yeah," Olive replied with a light chuckle. "I'm not sure why. Maybe I ate too much earlier, or maybe not. But I remember, I didn't eat a lot." She paused for a moment, deep in thought. "But I did eat Mom's steak," she laughed. "And the salad too. Wow, I guess I did eat quite a bit."Thomas chuckled, "So, that's why you're feeling sleepy?""Yeah," Olive said with a tired laugh. "Carry me, Bae. My legs feel like they're about to give out."Oh my! When Olive comes across as this needy, it's like a real test of courage for Thomas."There are plenty of attendants around the lobby, Liv. It's not a problem if I carry you." Thomas never really minded Olive's whims. However, if someone sees and he
