That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved
Surprising Facts and Dinda's Answers
Morning at Jonathan's House
"Thank you" said Leo as Mr. Eko placed the food on the table.
"Eat a lot" said Ryan.
"Are you serious?" leo asked surprised. However, he is very happy if Ryan allows him to eat a lot because the food in this house is nothing bad.
"Yes. After you eat, you won't have much noise in front of me" Ryan said indifferently.
"Hehe.. All right, if that's what you want. I'll eat as much as I can." Leo said.
"Good fun, Ryan, Leo" said Mr. Eko.
"Thank you, sir." Ryan and Leo said at the same time.
"The leo? When did you come by here?" ask someone from behind.
"Hello, Om." said Leo as he extended his hand to shake his uncle.
"I stopped by last night. I stayed here yesterday." replied Leo.
"Really?" ask Jonathan.
"Yes, Om." replied Leo.
"If you want to stay again today, please. Om leave first huh." Jonathan said as he patted his nephew's shoulder.
"Okay, Om." Leo said.
"Ryan, papa's leaving first" Jonathan said.
"Yes, Pa." replied Ryan.
"Hey, Ryan." call Leo.
"What?" ryan asked, looking at Leo.
"I'll stay again today" said Leo.
"For what?" ryan was confused.
"What do you mean for what? For this food of course." said Leo while pointing to the food he was eating.
"Free, the menu now is not a menu for later noon and later afternoon" said Ryan cuek.
"Haha. No problem." said Leo with a laugh.
"Hey, why did you just leave? Not polite!" leo said as he saw Ryan suddenly stand up and leave.
"If you're still noisy, I won't be watching you" Ryan said.
"Yes, yeah, all right. I will not be noisy anymore." said Leo resignedly.
"Where are we going?" leo asked after the two of them got to the parking lot.
"We? I didn't say I wanted to take you." replied Ryan.
"Hey, don't you need a driver?" ask Leo.
"I can drive myself." Ryan said indifferently.
"I know, but it's better if I drive, right?" ask Leo.
"Not really. My favorite car can be damaged if you drive." Ryan replied as he stroked the car.
"Come with me!" exclaim Leo.
"Whatever." said Ryan.
...****************...
"Where are we going?" ask Leo after they've been on the road for about 20 minutes.
"Geez why would I have a cousin who looks a lot like a block of ice?" muttered Leo while shaking his head.
"I can hear" said Ryan.
"Yes. I'm not talking to you." said Leo.
"At hand. Come down" said Ryan, who removed his seatbelt three seconds later.
"If you don't want to get in, just wait in the car. Or the.. So the parking lot is no problem either" Ryan said with a smile and stepped inside the cafe.
"Hey. I'm coming, I'm going in." exclaimed Leo who immediately followed Ryan's steps to get into the cafe.
"Why did you suddenly go to this place?" ask Leo.
"Not really. I come here every 3 weeks." replied Ryan.
"What?" leo asked surprised. He did not expect Ryan would visit this memorable cafe every 3 weeks.
"Since when?" ask again.
"Last year." replied Ryan briefly.
"You mean. since she (Alexa) left?" leo asked while frowning his forehead.
"Hmm." said Ryan while nodding his head.
"Then, what.. Didn't you." said Leo nervously. He was still surprised by this fact.
"What?" ask Ryan. However, Leo does not give any authorization.
Doesn't he want to erase his memories with Lexa? Or does he not remember it at all? But, he's been here since Lexa left.. Shouldn't he feel hurt? ask Leo in your heart.

Afternoon at the Restaurant
"I'm sorry I'm late" said Dinda.
"No. You're not late. I came first." said Ryan.
"Oh, that's it" said Dinda.
"Message whatever you want" Ryan said.
"You also order." said Dinda with a smile. After they ordered and the food was already on the table, Dinda ventured to start the conversation.
"Ehem.. So." said Dinda doubtfully.
"Tell me. I'll respect whatever your decision is." Ryan said.
"Ryan, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I can't be a special person in your heart. Please, hate me from today" Dinda said. His voice sounded raucous. Looks like Dinda almost cried.
"Father. I won't hate you." said Ryan softly. He wants to calm Dinda down, but, he knows he doesn't deserve it.
"But, Ryan, if you don't hate me I'll feel so guilty and owe you a debt" Dinda said.
"Din, listen carefully" Ryan said as he looked into Dinda's eyes.
"I express my feelings not to be accepted, but to acknowledge my feelings. If I admit it, I'll feel calmer. If you refuse me, I have no problem. I will respect your decision. Now, tell me, do you want me to get away from your life or stay as usual?" ask Ryan.
"Ryan, I." said Dinda nervously. He was so nervous he could not look Ryan in the eye.
"It's okay, just say it." Ryan said slowly.
"You can stay as usual" Dinda said as she lowered her gaze downwards.
Din, do you want me to pretend I never liked you? You don't like me, but, what if I stay as usual while I like you? ryan asked in his heart.
"Alright" Ryan said as he took a deep breath. His eyes also began to turn red and watery so he turned his gaze to the side so that Dinda would not see that she was about to cry.
Ryan, I'm sorry. I was too selfish. To be honest, I like you too, but, not everything I want can come true.
Ryan immediately finished the food and drink he had ordered, but he was no longer tasteful now. So, he ate very quickly.
"Recycle your food. I'll go first" said Ryan. Dinda just nodded in response. Ryan paid for all the food and drink bills he had ordered and left the restaurant.
"Ryan, I.. I can't tell you the truth behind all this. Once again forgive me." said Dinda slowly while looking at Ryan who was getting away from his sight.
