People were inside a building on a corner of the city. There, they were seen busy transacting goods in a black suitcase. However, many of them were also gambling, filled with laughter and noise. The people who had previously entered a room that looked like a private room. Meanwhile, in a different place. Olivia, who was still sitting and enjoying the soup her grandmother made, suddenly fell into deep thought. Suddenly, a customer came and ordered food. This made her grandmother immediately feel busy and no longer listen to what Olivia was saying. After she finished, she then got up from her seat and then left. However, not before she had placed money in front of the cashier's desk. Her grandmother, who had been watching from afar, could only take a deep breath seeing what her granddaughter had done. Olivia walked towards her house. She was almost losing control because she continued to think hard about what had just happened. This time she was seen staring at a shop in front of her. Inside the display case was a stunning pair of high heels. For a moment, she was amazed by what she saw. Slowly approach the mirror there and continue to stare at the shoes displayed there. “You want it?” someone said, making Olivia immediately surprised. "What?" “You’ve been staring at it all this time. Do you really want it?” “That's none of your business.” "I already guessed." "What are you saying?" “No. It's nothing. It seems like you're just having a temper.” “Don’t talk to me. And who are you anyway?” “Ah, okay. See you later.” “Hey. I asked who you are.” The person simply waved his hand as he left, leaving Olivia standing there. Confused, she then intended to continue her journey home. Meanwhile, the person who had spoken to Olivia was busy playing with his phone and had a brief smirk on his face. An irritated Olivia cursed under her breath. This time, she had arrived right in front of her house and immediately entered. As soon as she entered her room, she immediately lay down, still feeling annoyed. Her phone rang, and she immediately answered the call without hesitation. “Halo?” “Olivia are you home?” "Yes, what is up?" “Can you come here?” “Where? Why should I come there?” “Please, come on. I need your help. The shop is really busy and there aren't any other workers available. Can you do it?” “Oh my, okay I’ll be right there.” “Okay. Don’t take too long.” “Yes. I'm just getting ready.” "Good. Come quickly." "Yes." Olivia then rushed to change her clothes and now she looked in a hurry. She immediately went to the place which was her relative's bakery. When she arrived there, she immediately saw the hustle and bustle that was exactly what her cousin had just told her on the phone call. Olivia entered the place and now she had met her cousin. She then got a part to help bake the bread. Meanwhile, her cousin was serving customers who bought her bread. While she was busy baking, she unknowingly was a little careless and the bread she baked became burnt. Olivia frantically tried to handle the situation. Luckily, her relative was very kind and didn't mind it. Those there were seen laughing at what Olivia did. Olivia's face looked embarrassed then turned red. She was momentarily unable to straighten her face because she was so embarrassed. Her cousin who was serving the customer, then received a call from someone and it turned out that the person ordered bread and asked her to deliver it to her workplace. Her cousin then prepared the order and after that immediately ordered the delivery person to deliver the order. Olivia still found it difficult until she got used to it and now seems to be doing her job well. She's also proud of her accomplishments and continues to be happy. “It's finally done,” said his cousin. “What? It’s over?” Olivia asked in disbelief. “Yes. It's done. Now it's time to close the shop.” “Huh? What time is it now?” “You didn’t look at the clock, did you? Look, it’s already 10 PM.” “Gosh, I’ve been here for so long.” “Yes. It doesn't feel like it, does it? Time flies so fast.” “Wow, this is the first time in my life that I can bake bread continuously and it takes up so much time.” “You’re right. Maybe this is your first time. Are you happy?” “I think I'm happy.” “Then, I guess I can ask for your help again.” "Ah, you can." “Hey, kids, let’s eat,” said his cousin’s mother. "Good." They then went up to the third floor, specifically the rooftop. There, they were seen grilling a lot of meat and also some other food. Olivia, who saw it, looked like she couldn't believe what they had prepared. She immediately sat down with her cousin, Emily. They then ate together. Many things made Olivia once again feel grateful for what had happened in her life this time. She couldn't stop feeling happy, and then she suddenly remembered something gray. Emily gave Olivia a cola and they immediately talked about something. "Oh Thank you," said Olivia to her cousin. “By the way, which college are you planning to enter?” “Ah, yes. I already planned that. What about you?” “Looks like you're going to take up business instead.” “Yes, that's a great idea. You can also help your uncle and aunt open more branches.” “Yes. If I'm truly capable of doing it. There are actually a lot of things I'm unsure about. That's why it's so difficult.” “Which part is making things difficult for you?” “Too many I can't even name.” “Hmm… if that's the case, it seems like you should learn to forget the bad events that might keep coming back to you.” “Yes. You're right.” The barbecue dinner was finally over. Olivia intended to leave her cousin's residence and return to her home to complete some of the assignments she had been given since she had been absent from school for a while. Emily waved at Olivia while continuing to thank her for her help. On her way home, she remembered her cousin's words about how her life was quite difficult. Something came to her mind that she hadn't thought about at all. Olivia looked up at the night sky, seeing the constellation Orion, then smiled as if she was trying to forget something that had been stuck in her head. At the same time, right when she was at a three-way intersection and was about to cross the street. At that moment, tragedy struck right before her eyes. The people who witnessed it screamed hysterically.
