Elkie's Hidden Identity

It was Saturday morning. Olivia is in such good mood because today, she finally will meet Kenth, who had agreed for the long awaited bussiness discussion. Today, she decided to bring her ipad in her bag. She opened the door, but a cold and strong wind blew through her rented house door. It made her shivers and a minute after, a heavy rain starts pouring down along with some lighting. Well, even though the weather is not friendly to her, at least this should be her lucky day. Since she wanted to develop her drop servicing app. Not only that, Olivia had dreamt of making an app especially made for fellow artists to sell their art, promote, and teach art too. Basically an app for artist community.  She wanted more advice from Kenth about the software. At least, the thought of having productive days, makes her stay on high spirit.

Suddenly Elkie said,"Wait Olivia! The rain is... heavy you know?"

"Yep, that's why i am using my raincoat" Olivia said unbothered.

"Olivia, i have an eerie feeling. I should go with you today. Remember what i said this morning about the dream I had last night? In my dream you are crying so hard while hugging me.”

"I am just meeting my future bussiness partner, Elkie. And he is a busy man. If not today, i don't know when else. Plus the rain is not that bad. I could order taxi. Oh, rain's smell is not so bad too." Olivia loved rainny days, because rain gives a fresh air, a cold breeze, and also less crowded  places, because people choose to shelter at home. Rain also brings water for whoever needs them, be it human nor other living organism.

"But Olivia, you could get sick." Elkie tried to persuade again.

"That is so sweet of you, but no. This is an important meeting, and being sick gives me more excuse for staying longer on my bedroom."

"Gosh... she really left!" Elkie exclaimed after Olivia left their house.

'I haven't had a bad dream in a very long time. I am afraid this is a bad omen....' Elkie said in her mind and praying that nothing bad happens to her best friend.

"Hello Olivia, thank you for your time and effort to meet up today. I was thinking of pending our meeting. But, since i could meet you again after 2 weeks..."

"Hello Kenth, that is alright. I need your help in a hurry afterall. I am the one who needs more, so i should give more effort."

"Oh. Good point. So... you explain in the email that you needed a software for your dropservicing, and also an art community application. Can you tell me more?"

"Yes, so...."

Both of them begin to discuss seriously about their goals, ideas, exchanging perspective, sometimes a dry jokes. Surprisingly to Kenth, this woman can match his wavelenght. Olivia is open minded, creatives, and has a broad knowledge about anything, from bussiness trend, economics, politics, to art and music. But her main passion in art is what makes her really attractive.

"Well.... this feels more like a blind date... i mean i get to know so much about you, Olivia. And you are a fascinating woman."

"Oh my, you flatter me too much. Thanks Kenth, you are a big help to me. I didn't regret coming here in the middle of the stormy morning afterall."

"Ah... sorry again about that."

"No, no, it is okay. I wanted to flatter you, but it seems like i make a sarcasm huh? Or is it too weird? Am i... being rude?"

"No.. no. You are just honest. You have high integrity and morality. Oh and luckily, it stopped. Can you see that rainbow over there?"

"Thanks Kenth.."

Suddenly Elkie made a phone call via whatsapp. Her profile pics can be seen clearly.

"Sorry, i need to answer this first. Pardon me." Olivia said and hurriedly go to the restroom.

'What? That woman... feels strangely similar to the woman i have been searching for this dangerous mission....' sweats run down his temple and he wait anxiously for Olivia's return.

"What now Elkie? You have chatted me... countless times today."

"I said that i have a bad feeling right? ....." Elkie continued to lecture Olivia worryingly.

"Yeah, let's discuss that later at home, i will go back soon, and i will be careful."

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Kenth."

"Oh, no problem. But who is that girl? A friend of yours?" Kenth asks

"Yes, truly my best friend. Even though she can be annoying, but she is really lovely, and has a heart as bright as the sunrises."

"I think she would look great in blue hair and green eyes." Kenth said.

"Oh, of course she looks great in that."

"WHAT? What do you mean?.... I mean, she must have tried that hairstyle and contact lenses out of trend... haha." Kenth siad stuttering since Olivia look suspiciously at him.

"Umm yeah, she has tried them and she look gorgerous. Actually she would look good in any hair style or lenses, she is a beauty afterall, just like all of her previous styles..." Olivia added.

"Alright... you seem to be proud of her."

"Yeah, you know Kenth. Just like your parent or family... you would love them so much and would protect them at all cost right? To me... she is someone as important as a family. She saves me, she gives my life a meaning after losing hope when my parents died. And when i was depressed and had no friends. I would never exchange her for anything else. Even for my life!" Suddenly Olivia stares Kenth in a serious stare.

Huh? What is that? Why did she... felt like she read my mind. Uh impossible. Well, it could be her or not. I should dig up later.

"I guess it's time for me to leave now. I have other appoinments" Kent said to Olivia.

"Ohokay, take care."

After their meeting, Kenth hurriedly go home, reach his bedroom and pc. Olivia Cahya Rajendra, find it!  Kenth finds Olivia's personal information, as well as her background. Turns out, Olivia becomes an orphan 2 years ago, Nd now works as freelance illustrator and animator. He also finds out about her University. University A huh. Where can i find her best friends info... oh! She is also a college student in A Uni but different faculty...

Kenth is hacking A Uni websites, trying to get Elkie's personal info. This is weird. So her name is Valkyrie Joseph Lestari. She is a mix of Dutch and Indonesian bloodline. But why can't i get any information about this girl? None except for her id card information? No, even her id address is not valid anymore.... her id card is not updated?!

What about her parents.... no records? None at all?!

This girl is suspicious!

Suddenly, it occurs to him, how Olivia said abstractly that this Valkyrie has tried numerous hairstyles and lenses. So he tried searching her face using his face recognition software. No way.... she change her identity so many times. She was in America before. And in Canada before that, and also in Netherland before. All from a voluntary teacher at orphanage, a florist, a hairstylist? A babysitter? And this one... a novelist? Under the name Marry Lestari? What identity is this now. Why is she not getting caught by the government?  And why... doesn't she aged? This is so fishy and creepy.... no... yeah she keeps changing her hairstyle...

The blue hair and green eyes might be one of her disguise.... she must be the one they are searching for.

But.... why? Who is she? And what will happen to Olivia if she gets caught in this mess...? Even though their meeting is short, but Olivia has successfully win Kenth' heart. And he doesn't want Olivia to get hurt. He remembers clearly Olivia's expression when she talk happily about her bestfriend. And how she gets strangely frightening when she intimidated him, she wouldn't stay still if her best friend gets hurt for sure....

I... don't want to hurt her... but how can i save her and myself altogether... What would she feel if she knows that her bestfriend is so suspicipus and hiding her true identity from her?

I... need to confirm this girl first... maybe i could meets Olivia again 2 days later... i should chat...

Brak! Suddenly his ceiling in the livingroom broke. Dion and Travis came into his house.

Luckily for Kenth, he successfully turns of his pc just before they enter his bedroom.

"Why are you nervous? Do you perhaps hide something? " Travis ask suspiciously.

"I always... gets nervous around you guys..." Kenth tried to answer as calm as possible

"Yeah, he is a coward afterall." Dion said mockingly.

"Your time is up, weakling. Kaja is tired of waiting, and that means, we are free to destroy this city. If she really lives here, just as the signals is. She would defend her city." Dion threatening Kenth.

"Well... you could prevent that, by finding her and tell her to us. The deadline is until tomorrow before dusk. Which i bet you would failed anyway." Travis said smiling mischievously.

Shit, here they go again...! I can't imagine what type of apocalypse awaits us tommorrow..... thry have insane supernatural power afteral... I should choose....

This city... or Olivia and her best friend....

Right it should be an obvious choice. Yet his heart felt heavy imagining how he could lost his new crush, Olivia. Suddenly it occured to his mind, what if he cpuld trick Olivia to ditch her friend and goes outside of Jakarta tommorrow. He could just save her and pretend he didn't knew, he could pretend that he wanted to introduce her to a bussiness partner again as well or as a dating excuse. Or whatever...

"I will try...." Kenth could only hope for the best tommorrow.

Dear God, I know I am sinful, i have many sins and a dark past. But, for the sake of humanity and Olivia, please save us tommorrow. If... i could trade humanity and Olivia with just 1 person.... that would be better.

Never would he thought that he would fall so hard for Olivia. He used to just chatted her on whatsapp, for bussiness talk and sometimes trivial things.

This morning meeting, is actually the 2nd time they met. But it already makes him feels like he finds his soulmate, because of how comforting and how he could connect with her.
