This is the umpteenth time Alvaro has slept next to Olvee. Countless since he was a child to adulthood, he never got tired of sleeping together with Olvee, as his brother. But this time he felt something different. Because finally, Olvee gave up on him and followed everything he said. Something he had been waiting for a long time.
Alvaro looked at the face of Olvee who was still asleep in his arms soundly. His right hand reached for Olvee's hair blocking his face. Get rid of it and play it on his fingers.
“You can't go back anymore, Vee,” whispered Alvaro with a grin on his face while kissing the strand of hair on his finger and staring intensely at Olvee's face that still closed his eyes once again.
The sound of alarm from the working clock rang loudly which immediately disperse the daydream of Alvaro. He grabbed the clock and stopped his voice. When her attentions returned to Olvee, there was no sign of the girl being distracted by the sound of the clock ringing. His habits are difficult to wake up still remains the same since childhood.
“Kak Vee,” call Alvaro soft.
“Vee .. ” Once again Alvaro called him which this time was followed by the touch of his hand on Olvee's cheek.
“Bae... ” call Alvaro back which this time began to cause a reaction on Olvee.
Alvaro believes that this time Olvee has awakened and is in the middle of consciousness and dreamland. If you allow this, Olvee will definitely leave and resume his dreamland. So, Alvaro inhibited Olvee's breathing with his lips. He deliberately pressed his lips against Olvee's lips so that he would wake up.
However, Alvaro's decision brought disaster to him. It didn't take long for Olvee, who had run out of breath, to finally push Alvaro down. And Olvee immediately got up and changed her body position to sit down.
“It looks like I have sleep paralysis,” muttered Olvee while wiping his chest tight enough.
Olvee turned to the side and was surprised to find Alvaro under his bed. “Why are you sleeping on the floor, Alvaro?” ask Olvee.
“Nothing,” replied Alvaro smiling sweetly.
“Don't you have to go to the office this morning? Why haven't you returned to your room?” ask Olvee back.
“I'm waiting for you to wake up to get a morning kiss,” said Alvaro as he stood up and approached Olvee.
Unruled, for the first time this morning, Olvee's cheeks flushed to hear what Alvaro had said. However, he did not stop giving a kiss on Alvaro's cheek. Without saying anything else, Olvee got out of her bed and went to the bathroom in a very embarrassed state.
Alvaro was still frozen in place after getting what he wanted. He hesitated a little, considering Olvee's stubbornness couldn't have been as easy as giving her one kiss. However, he had just asked Olvee for it, and he gave it right away. Slowly a tinge of red began to spread across Alvaro's cheeks to his ears. He covered his face with one hand and only realized that Olvee was out of place.
“Why can he be so sweet?” muttered Alvaro then stepped out of Olvee's room still with a rapid heartbeat and a red face.
“Alvaro!” Just as he came out and closed the door to Olvee's room, his mother's voice really surprised him.
“I-iya, Ma?” alvaro asked trying to rein in himself.
“Why are you standing in front of Vee's room?” ask Flora wonder.
Flora's question makes Alvaro a little quiet because his mother did not catch him out of Olvee's room. “Alvaro wants to wake Brother Vee, Ma.”
“Yes already, wake him up. Mama will continue to prepare breakfast.” Flora came back down the stairs.
Alvaro hurried to leave Olvee's room door and returned to his room. For now, he does not want his parents to know the development of his relationship with Olvee or all his plans will fail.
“What?”
“What?”
Such was the response of each of Alvaro and Olvee's friends when told what had happened. Alvaro who spoke after arriving at his office to Evan. Olvee told Zara by phone in his gallery.
“You have really gone crazy!” Evan chimed in on Alvaro's remarks.
“Then what about Jihan?” ask Zara and Evan in different places to each of their best friends.
“Jihan? From the beginning I didn't care about him. Why should I think about it? If he really wants to be used as he says, then I will be happy to use him until nothing can be taken advantage of him and throw him out.” Alvaro replied viciously as if he had no heart left for another girl besides Olvee.
“Poor girl, I feel sorry for her,” replied Evan.
“Your sister is really, Vee.” Zara.
“I haven't talked about this with Alvaro. Maybe I'll talk to him about this later. I also feel very guilty for her, Zara.” Olvee's tone sounded purau.
“I see, don't feel too guilty because after all that boy pulled you. I thought everything was arranged by fate. I only wish for your happiness. And hopefully, you guys aren't really sisters and sisters like that boy always said. So you guys have a chance.” Zara tried to comfort her best friend.
“Thank you, thank you very much for not blaspheming me for this decision I have taken. I don't think it's going to last forever because he's still a young man who can change his mind at any time. He will definitely leave me sooner or later.” Zara did not answer back long enough Olvee.
‘You will get hurt after that, but if you guys are indeed destined to be a brother and sister, it will be good for you guys.’ Zara spoke to herself inside. Daydreaming for a long time because he felt more sorry for his best friend than Jihan.
“Zara? You still there?” olvee asked when she heard Zara's voice no more.
“Y-yes, I'm still here. I was just daydreaming for a while. Then, Vee, what about your parents? You're now talking to me in a safe place, right?” zara asked to change the subject.
“Papa went to work, I heard Mama was leaving earlier, I talked to you in my painting gallery and closed the door. I also don't know what will happen once they find out about this. They might try to separate us, but I think Alvaro won't be that easy to do.” Olvee answered and heard Zara's laughter.
“That boy will not be the Alvaro we know if you give up easily,” said Zara who justified Olvee.
“Now I have to work, Zara. I'll hang up now, we'll talk back. Bye!” pamit Olvee's.
“Bye!” zara's reply and phone call were cut off.
‘Please give her happiness, Lord.’ Zara was just talking in her mind.
