That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved

So then.. Do I Really Like It?

This is the morning when the sun rises from the eastern horizon. Ryan is reading a textbook but he overhears a conversation between Zeva and Nayra, a Tunas Bangsa High School student in Class XI B. The XI A classroom was indeed at the end so it could look towards the garden. Ryan's seat was also by the window. In the morning, the windows in each class should be opened. This makes Ryan who had intended to learn instead become focused on Zeva and Nayra. He looked down and saw the two people sitting on the garden chair.

"Nay. I called you here because I wanted to tell you something" Zeva said.

"Yes. What'sthat?" ask Nayra.

"Look at the truth." said Zeva while holding his best friend's hands.

"Actually, I." said Zeva hesitatingly.

"I've loved Reynaldo for a long time" Zeva said.

"What?" asked Nayra who could not believe what Zeva said.

"Playboy did that?" nayra asked as she stared intently at Zeva.

"Nay, I know she likes you. But you said you didn't want to be with him. So, can you help me chase after him?" ask Zeva.

"Hm.. Zeva.." said Nayra with a long sigh.

"Yes." said Zeva.

"How long have you liked it? How can you like him? Do you really like it?" asked Nayra while looking intently at her best friend.

"I've loved it for 5 months. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you right away because you were close to him. I. He helped me a lot and gave me attention even though I knew that he didn't just give me that kind of attention. But, I really like her." Zeva replied while giving a look full of confidence.

"Huh.. Okay. I'll help you" said Nayra.

"really?" tanya Zeva was happy.

"Yes." answered Nayra.

"But, Nay." said Zeva.

"Hmm?" ask Nayra.

"How can I express my feelings to her?" ask Zeva.

"Zev, answer my last question first" said Nayra.

"What's that?" ask Zeva.

"What is love really?" nayra asked as she looked towards Zeva.

"Love is when you are willing to sacrifice everything just for her. When you keep thinking about it and always pray for it." replied Zeva sure.

"Is that so?" nayra asked as she looked ahead.

"Hmm." said Zeva.

"By the way, I was jealous of you, Nay" Zeva said.

"Jealous? What jealousy?" ask Nayra.

"Jealousy can be many things. But, what I experience is when I am angry and do not like to see other people together with the people I love, including you, my closest person, Nay. I know this doesn't make sense, but, that's the reality." Zeva replied honestly.

"Zev" said Nayra.

"Yes." said Zeva.

"If you like someone, you should express your feelings to them. It doesn't matter, if he rejected you back then, but, if you still like him, then keep chasing him. No matter if his heart was made of steel or anything, he would be destroyed in the end" Nayra said.

"So, you have to express your feelings to her, okay?" ask Nayra.

"Okay, Nay." Zeva replied while nodding.

Cring.. Cring.. Cring..

The bell rings a sign that lessons are about to begin.

"Let's talk again when it's time to rest. Let's get to class!" bring Nayra.

"Come on!" sahut Zeva's.

"So, I really like it?" ryan muttered after listening to the conversation between Zeva and Nayra.

"So, am I jealous of Leo?" ryan murmured while frowning his forehead.

"Kids, we're going to start today's lesson" Ms. Rosa said.

"Okay, ma'am." said the students of XI A.

Night In Jonathan's House

If you like someone, you should express your feelings to them. It doesn't matter, if he rejected you back then, but, if you still like him, then keep chasing him. No matter if his heart was made of steel or anything, he would be destroyed in the end. The words haunted Ryan's mind. However, for a moment he recalled his memories with Alexa. Actually, the sentence Nayra said had a point.

...****************...

"Ryan." call Alexa.

"Hmm?" ask Ryan.

"I want to talk to you for a minute. It's important, can you just take a minute?" ask Alexa.

"What's wrong?" ask Ryan.

"Ryan, I like you!" answer Alexa.

"What?" ryan was surprised. However, he did not change his facial expression. His face looked cold at that moment.

"I really like you!" exciting Alexa.

"Sorry, but, I don't." - Ryan.

"Ryan! I know you don't like me, but, no matter what, I'll keep chasing you! Just look at it later, you will be devastated someday!" exciting Alexa. Alexa then ran away crying.

...****************...

"Forget about Alexa. So, I really have to express my feelings to Dinda?" ryan asked himself.

"How can I express my feelings to her?" ryan asked while scratching his non-itchy nape. He decided to go to the bathroom and stand in front of the glass.

"Din, will you date me?" asked Ryan in a flat tone.

"No, no. It was so awkward" Ryan said.

"Din, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?" ryan asked with a smile.

"No, it's impossible" Ryan said.

"Do I have to bring a gift first?" ask Ryan.

"Gift.. What gifts do women like?" ryan was confused.

"flower? Chocolate?" ryan asked, guessing.

"Ah, no. It would be very strange" Ryan said.

"What did I give Alexa the first time I liked her?" ask Ryan.

"none. He always gives me lots of gifts even if I don't ask for them." Ryan told himself.

"Ah, how is this." said Ryan as he ruffled his hair. He was frustrated because he didn't know what to do.

Bonus leaks for next week's episode:

"Din" said Ryan.

"Yes?" dinda asked, clenching both hands. To be honest, he was nervous every time he was near Ryan.

"I." said Ryan.

"Ehem, I." said Ryan trying to gather the intention to vent.

"Why?" dinda asked, looking into Ryan's eyes.

"Actually, I like you" Ryan replied with an indecipherable look.

"What?" dinda was surprised.
