Being Match with a Manly Man

S2 - Trying to Open the Heart

The nerdy beauty is seen sighing long after attending the wedding anniversary party Om Rey and Aunt Risa as well as the impromptu engagement of her two best friends that makes her a heart spot. Sandra has now reached her home. Sandra was already in her room and had changed into her sleepwear. Sandra sat on the edge of the bed, slowly opening her phone and looking for photos in her gallery. Sandra stared at the photo as the three of them were posing photos with happy smiles while at school.

"I can't be like this. I have to bury my love for Reno. I don't want Kezia to know that I've loved Reno all this time." Then Sandra put the phone back on her study table.

Sandra looked at her desk and saw a novel from Ricko a few days ago. A faint smile was seen from his face. Slowly Sandra sat in her chair. Sandra looked at Ricko's novel. Her new best friend knows that Sandra loves to read novels.

"Ricko's been so good to me all this time. Right said Mami. I have to try to open my heart to her. Now Reno is with Kezia. I don't want to be the third one among them. I don't want long-established friendships to just break down. Moreover, both of my parents seemed to be angry and disappointed with the Wijaya family."

"Yes, I have to try to open my heart to Ricko. Maybe this is the best option for everyone. I hope what I'm doing is right" he said.

Sandra then put the novel down and walked to her bed. Sandra began to lay her body on the bed with a glance at the ceiling of her room.

"Ricki... Ricko, you're so handsome. But why do you like nerdy girls like me? And there's a lot of girls out there prettier than me who are always after you."

Ricko is a popular guy at school. There are even some of his underclassmen who declare love to Ricko. At that time Sandra looked with her own eyes while on the school field. Sandra did not think there was a girl who dared to express love to a man.

"I'd better get some sleep. Dizziness thinking about everything."

Sandra then read the prayer and then began to close her eyes.

...*****...

In his room Reno was not out of thought with both of his parents who held his engagement with Kezia suddenly. Reno was also annoyed with Kezia agreeing to it just like that. Kezia does not attach importance to the importance of his friendship so far with Sandra.

"Kezia is selfish, not thinking about Sandra's feelings. What if Sandra hates me and breaks off our friendship."

Reno feels guilty and remembers Sandra eating with Ricko, Reno accusing her of betraying her friendship by dating Ricko. Sandra only celebrated her graduation by eating with Ricko. Now he himself betrayed his friendship by getting engaged to Kezia.

Now Reno grabs the phone and calls Sandra. In her room Sandra felt disturbed sleep when she heard the sound of a cellphone ringing.

"Who's the phone night?" muttered.

Sandra then grabbed her phone. Sandra widened her eyes when she saw the name that called her night-night. Sandra refuses a call from Reno and turns off her phone. Sandra is not ready to talk to Reno yet and prefers to go back to sleep.

In his room Reno was restless. Sandra refused her phone call. When Reno called Sandra back, her phone was off.

"Sandra must be angry with me. How's this? What am I supposed to do?"

"It's all my fault. If I had just refused her engagement, Sandra wouldn't have been mad at me."

Reno is restless if Sandra doesn't want to be her best friend anymore. They've been together since childhood. Reno can't afford to lose a friend as good as Sandra.

...*****...

In her room Kezia was very happy, her heart was blossoming. Kezia kissed the diamond ring that was coiled on his ring finger. Kezia did not expect that he was now his fiancee Reno Putra Wijaya, the man he had loved so far.

"I can't wait to get married to you soon Reno. You must be like Om Rey Reno. It was very romantic Om Rey with Aunt Risa. So Reno wants it that way."

"I have to be patient, soon Reno and I will also be like Om Rey and Aunt Risa" he said again.

Now Kezia can sleep well tonight. Reno can't sleep well tonight.

...*****...

"Ricko, where are you taking me?"

"A little while until Sandra. Be patient, a few more steps we'll get there."

Ricko takes Sandra to a lake. Ricko then opened his blindfold. Sandra is shocked when Ricko takes her to a beautiful lake. There is a swan swimming there.

"It's so pretty." The words escaped Sandra's mouth.

"She's so pretty like you Sandra."

"Ricko, you like zombies!"

"Sandra I speak seriously if you are beautiful" she said with a smile.

Sandra now smiled after Ricko spoke like that.

"It looks like the decision I made was right. Ricko is a good man. I can't let her down. I'll try to open my heart to her." Inner Sandra.

"Sandra we go there yuk," he said while holding Sandra's hand.

"Yes come on." He began to move his feet towards the lake.

They are still holding hands.

"Rick........." Sandra was now looking at her best friend's face.

"Yes Sandra." Ricko turned to Sandra. The beautiful girl who had been the idol of his heart all this time.

"Ricko, I've got an answer to a question you've asked" he said with a sweet smile.

"really? Do you want to accept my love?" Ricko is curious about Sandra's answer.

"Ricko, I've been thinking about it. I'll try to open my heart to you."

"really? I'm not dreaming, am I Sandra?"

"No Ricko, you're not dreaming. I'll try to open my heart to you."

"Thank you Sandra. I promise to always make you happy. I'll never let you down." Now Ricko clasped Sandra's hand and kissed her affectionately.

"Yes, I believe in you. Ricko you're a good man. I'm lucky you can love."

"No Sandra. I'm just an ordinary guy. I am the lucky one to get you. The girl who has been my heart."

"Ricko is so sweet. The treatment was very sweet to me. I'm a lucky girl to be loved by a man as good as Ricko. Maybe after this I will be able to forget my feelings for the person who has been in my heart all this time. Reno, I hope our friendship will be okay. May you be happy with Kezia to get to the bottom." Inner Sandra with her sweet smile.

Ricko is happy now his wait has been fruitful. The beautiful girl who loves to read the book has now opened her heart to her. Ricko didn't waste this opportunity to always make Sandra happy.

They did not know that behind the tree there was someone who had noticed their movements from earlier. The man clenched his right hand. There was an aura of anger on his face. The man was trailing Ricko's car after getting out of the campus to get to the lake.
