Rossie's Heart Choices

HOPEFULNESS

Keano grimaced once more, as Rossie carefully wiped away the bruises on Keano's cheekbones wearing washlap and warm water.

"It hurts, huh, Bang?" Rossie asked, pausing for a moment.

"Slightly," Keano replied with a smile.

"Later Aunty Anne would be shocked to see you coming home with a bruised face like this" said Rossie again worried.

"Whose mom is happy because I got battered thanks to your life," Keano said, chuckling, before the man grimaced again.

Rossie just laughed a little, then the girl's hand went back to dipping the washlap into the bowl and squeezing it.

"You still mad about that time, Rossie?" Keano's question further broke the silence.

"What time is it, Bang?" Rossie asked back and pretended not to understand.

"When you're picked up Bang Iel."

"Oh!" Rossie just rounded her lips.

"Rossie's not angry, really! Bang Kean just misunderstood," said Rossie later.

"But you didn't return my message."

"Rossie's busy working on the thesis, Bang!" Kill Rossie quickly, while attaching the plaster to Keano's bloody temple. Rossie did it carefully and Keano did not stop staring at the face of Rossie who was so close to Keano's face.

"Now has the script finished?" Ask Keano next.

"A little more."

"May there be no revision and be able to join the trial immediately."

"So Rossie can be with Reina," continued Rossie again expressed all her hopes.

"Amijin!" Keano directly guaranteed loudly.

"Later to continue the S2?" Ask Keano again.

"So." So."

"Perhaps after graduation will immediately leave," added Rossie again who immediately made Keano frown.

"depart? Where is S2?" Ask Keano quickly.

"London!"

"Rossie got a scholarship there, Bang!" It was clearly Rossie who instantly made Keano sigh heavily.

"But don't tell anyone, yeah, Bang! Including Brother Iel!" Pinta Rossie then who immediately made Keano frown

"Actually who knows also the new Mama, Papa, Abang Angga, and Abang Kean," continued Rossie again who immediately made Keano mangosteen.

"Less a little is okay, Kean!"

Mami Anne's sentence suddenly flashed in Keano's mind. If talking about cheating-rigging about the competition Fairel and Keano, Abang Fairel also had cheated because he threatened the relationship Angga and Reina in order to have Rossie.

So now, Keano is going back to cheating by keeping Rossie's college place a secret overseas. Cousin Fairel will be confused because Rossie did not know where to go to college.

If Brother Iel knew Rossie was studying in London, he would have followed immediately.

Hhhhhh!

"But! How daydreaming?" Rossie's rebuke immediately disperse Keano's daydream.

"No! Who's daydreaming?" Kill Keano quickly while scratching his non-itchy head.

"It's over" Rossie reported later, re-cleaning the P3K box.

"You've eaten? I'll get you some food, yeah!" Keano then stood up. Keano brought the bowl and washlap from the table, then walked out of the room.

Rossie had not answered Keano's question. But Rossie is hungry, anyway!

Keano seems so sensitive.

****

Rossie was still staring at the sun that was about to sink. Occasionally the girl also threw her gaze towards Keano who was still waiting in line at the grilled meatball seller.

Keano was going to take Rossie home. But Keano instead offers Rossie to stop by and watch the sunset in a meadow area near the city airport. Rossie who initially did not know there was a place as good as this, finally agreed and it turns out the scenery is indeed as good as Keano said.

Usually Rossie only sees the sunset from the top of the building because Rossie barrel place is also more in the mall than in the open like this!

"Having come! Sorry to wait so long," Keano slapped a piece of grilled meatball on Rossie who was still sitting on Keano's bike.

"Abang Kean really likes snacks like this?" Ask Rossie while tasting meatballs that still emit smoke.

"Yes! Since childhood often invited Mami and Papi to this place. Sometimes to the town square. That's why now it's great to like to come here alone," Keano told as he chuckled.

"Later if you are married, yes I also invite my wife's children here," added Keano again expressed his aspirations in the future.

"Have you got any meaningful wife criteria?" Guess Rossie guessed.

"Criteria?" Keano laughed crisply while shaking his head.

"It must be the motherly types and not career women let alone spoiled women," Rossie guessed again.

"Not really, Rossie!" Sergey Keano was quick to deny Rossie's guess.

"Whoever will be my soul mate, I will not restrain her and require her to be a housewife all day long at home."

"I will give him freedom, for example, if he wants to pursue a career or develop his potential." Keano replace mangosteen.

"Yes! I will always support whatever she does, as long as it's positive and as long as she keeps fulfilling her responsibilities as a wife," keano spoke at length with a wise tone that immediately made Rossie look in admiration towards Keano.

"Meaning that the woman who would later become Abang Keano's wife was a lucky woman" Rossie commented later, to which Keano only responded with a smile on her lips. Keano's dimples instantly became clear, making Rossie feel anxious to snap her finger there.

"Have not finished the meatball? Let's go!" Take Keano then along with the sun that has also started to set. The sky was already emitting a dark orange tinge and soon it might turn black.

"Already, Bang!" Rossie showed me her empty plastic meatball.

After dumping all the trash where it was supposed to be, Keano and Rossie finally left the city's airport area and both went straight to Hadinata's residence.
