That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved

Expressing Feelings

Morning at Satrio House (Dinda's Father)

Dinda had just finished her shower but she had already gotten three phone calls.

"Din, can we go to school together?" ask Leo.

"Can't you go alone, Leo?" Linda asked back.

"This time, Din." said Leo.

"OKAY. Hows it? I'm going to your house or.." asked Dinda who was immediately interrupted by Leo.

"I'm the only one going to your house." - Leo.

"Alright, whatever. I sent the address in a WhatsApp chat, yes. See you later." said Dinda.

"OK, see you later" said Leo.

"Minda.. Really true?" muttered Leo while reading Dinda's home address which was sent to Leo's WhatsApp chat.

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

"Please get on, my sweet heart" Leo said after opening his car window.

"Leo!" exclaim Dinda. Her cheeks were completely red from embarrassment.

"Haha. I'm just kidding." Leo said with a laugh. After Dinda came in, Leo seemed to be smiling happily.

"Alright, we're leaving now" Leo said as he stepped on the gas.

"Din." call Leo after the silent atmosphere created between the two of them is long enough.

"Yes?" sahut Dinda's.

"Where do you like Ariana's songs?" leo asked while playing the song 7 rings that he already knew Dinda liked.

"I love everything." replied Dinda.

"Everything?" leo asked, looking at Dinda.

"Yes. I know I'm a little bit more about Ariana but that's it." replied Dinda with a faint smile.

"Father. I understand." said Leo with a smile.

"If you were, Leo? You like Ariana too, don't you?" dinda asked while looking at Leo.

"Yes" replied Leo.

"When did you start liking it?" ask Dinda.

"Since.." replied Leo who suddenly could not speak his sentence to Dinda.

Ever since someone who was your father played that song in front of me and said that his sweet youngest daughter really liked Ariana.

"Leo?" call Dinda after Leo has been silent for a long time.

"Ah, yes. Why?" sahut Leo's.

"So I asked." said Dinda.

"Oh, by the way, can you come out later in the afternoon?" tanya Leo tried to divert attention because the question that Dinda asked could not be answered.

"Can." replied Dinda while checking the calendar on her HP.

"What if we go to a cafe near the school?" ask Leo.

"Can. What time?" ask Dinda.

"What time do you want?" ask Leo.

"Hour.how much is fine." replied Dinda.

"OKAY. 7 O'clock, yes." Leo said.

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

Cring.. Cring.. Cring..

The bell for school sounded. It's 18:00 now. Dinda will meet Leo at the cafe near the school at 19:00. Therefore, he decided to study in school for an hour.

"He hasn't come home yet? Why?" ryan muttered as he looked at Dinda who was sitting while reading a textbook in the school lobby chair.

"Why just look at him?" asked Viona who suddenly appeared beside Ryan.

"Viona!" yell Ryan. He was indeed surprised, but, his expression remained flat.

"Samperin him if you really like him and want to express your feelings. Don't be ashamed or your chance will be lost. You know that Dinda is also a student who is the same level as you" Viona said as she spread her shoulders.

"Sevels?" ryan asked who was trying to digest Viona's sentence.

"You and he are both targeted by students and students at this school. Even if there are students and students from other schools who come to visit this school will probably like you." said Viona.

"Continue?" ask Ryan.

"Ryan, you're really insensitive. Do you want him taken by someone else?" viona asked while shaking her head.

"No. I wanted to express my feelings." replied Ryan.

"Then go there. I support you, Ryan." Viona said with a smile. To be honest, Viona still can't move on from Ryan. But, he knew he couldn't force Ryan to like him.

"Thank you, Viona." Ryan said with a smile. It was the first time Ryan smiled in front of Viona.

"Together" said Viona.

"Why haven't you been there yet? Are you ashamed that you are me? I'm gonna go. So, go to Dinda" Viona said as she looked at the unsure Ryan.

After Viona left, Ryan walked over to the lobby chair where Dinda was sitting.

"Din." call Ryan.

"Ryan?" dinda was quite surprised. However, one second later he immediately closed the book he was reading and placed it inside his backpack.

"I want to talk" said Ryan.

"Oh, what's wrong?" ask Dinda.

"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.

"I." said Ryan, looking into Dinda's eyes.

"Yes, why?" sahut Dinda's.

"I know it doesn't make sense, but I do like you" said Ryan, still staring at Dinda.

"Huh?" ask Dinda. She was also confused as to why Ryan was looking at her like that.

"I'm talking wrong, huh?" ask Ryan. The atmosphere became very awkward at this moment.

"No." said Dinda quickly while taking her eyes off Ryan's face.

"Ryan, I'm sorry" Dinda said as she looked into Ryan's eyes.

Seriate......
