That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved

The Real Occurrence

"Din, what's wrong with you?" ask Ayu after they get home from school. Ayu who had noticed Dinda lethargic all day became worried.

"Gapapa. Maybe I'm tired again." replied Dinda.

"Really gapapa?" ask Ayu worriedly.

"Yes, I'm gapapa, Ayu, Clar. I want to tell you the same story." said Dinda.

"What's up, Din?" ask Clarissa.

"Actually.. Ryan.. A few days ago, he expressed his feelings to me. But I don't know if I should accept it or reject it. How do you think? I should what?" dinda explained everything.

"What did he say?" ask Clarissa kepo.

"Yes.. Like.." said Dinda hesitant to say it.

"Who if you're ashamed don't tell. To be honest, Ryan and I are getting engaged in 2 weeks, Din" Clarissa said.

Ryan, do you like Dinda? Why get engaged to me? Are you intentionally playing me? ask Clarissa in your heart.

"What's? Fiancee?" ayu asked in shock until she widened her eyes as if she was in Dinda's position.

So, they're getting engaged. Why would she pretend like there was nothing even if she was getting engaged? dinda said in her heart. Of course, Dinda was disappointed with Ryan.

"Clar, are you serious?" tanya Ayu made sure.

"Why did I lie to you? I don't want to be engaged to him either. But, the company is very important for papa. Jonathan has also transferred funds to help papa. It's all agreed." Clarissa said with a sigh.

"I'll go first, yeah. My driver has already picked me up. See you later." said Clarissa again.

"Din.." call Ayu.

"Din?" call Ayu once more.

"Yes." said Dinda.

"Din, do you like Ryan too?" ask Ayu.

"Eitherway. L'm.. Maybe so. I do love it." replied Dinda nervously.

"If you like it, just accept it" Ayu said.

"But, he's Clarissa's fiancee, Ayu" said Dinda hesitantly.

"I know. But, they got engaged without any liking to each other. How long do you think they'll last?" ayu asked while looking into Dinda's eyes. However, Dinda did not reply at all. He was both shocked and disappointed.

"I want to go home first, yeah. I'll see you tomorrow." said Dinda Lirih.

"It gets really complicated when someone falls in love" Ayu said as she shook her head. However, without them knowing it, Leo actually accidentally eavesdropped on their conversation from the start.

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

"Din." call Leo.

"Leo?" sahut Dinda's.

"Din, where are you going?" ask Leo pretending he doesn't know.

"I want to go home." replied Dinda.

"Want you to take me?" ask Leo.

"Thank you but no need, Leo" replied Dinda.

"Gapapa. It's not far from here" said Leo. Leo was worried about Dinda.

"All right" said Dinda.

"Thank you, Leo" said Dinda after reaching her home.

"I had to turn it down for the good of Ryan and Clarissa's relationship" Dinda muttered after she got off Leo's car.

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

[Leo] Lex. It's me, Leo.

[Alexa] I know. What suddenly called me?

[Leo] Lexa, actually..

[Alexa] What's up? Quickly tell me!

[Leo] Actually, Ryan might still miss you. He still regularly comes to the cafe where the three of us used to gather.

[Alexa] What did you say?

[Alexa] Leo, are you serious?

[Leo] Why would I lie? ask Leo.

[Alexa] So, what do you mean call me? You're telling me to come up to Ryan again? Don't hope!

[Leo] Lexa, if you still have hope and opportunity, why not take advantage of the time and circumstances? leo asked, breathing out.

[Alexa] I'll talk to you when I think about it Alexa said.

[Leo] Okay. Bye. sahut Leo.

"Ryan, have you missed me all this time?" ask Alexa to herself.
