That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved

I Know You Like Me

"The boy really is!" leo was upset. He got on the bike and caught up with Ryan.

"Din, please come now to the cafe near the school. I'm waiting for you there." Ryan left a voice mail for Dinda.

"Well.. Where's he going to find Dinda? I'll just call Dinda." muttered Leo as he pulled over to the end of the road to call Dinda.

[Leo] "Hello, Din."

[Dinda] "Hey, Leo. What's up?"

[Leo] "Did Ryan ask you to come somewhere? I was following him, but now he's gone out of my sight."

[Dinda] "What? A moment."

[Dinda] "Yes, he asked me to come to a cafe near the school now. I went there first, yeah."

[Leo] "Okay, go. I'll be there too."

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

At night at the cafe

"Ryan." said Dinda.

"Ehem.. Hi, Din." said Ryan.

"What do you want to see me?" ask Dinda.

"Look.. I want to explain something. Do you want to listen to him?" ask Ryan.

"Yes. I'll listen until it's over. What's up?" ask Dinda.

"I apologize in advance for asking you out at night. I'm just saying that I don't know anything about my fiancee's show with Clarissa. I really just found out about this. And also.. I wanted to ask you something" Ryan said.

"What's that?" ask Dinda.

"Did you turn me down because Clarissa said she was going to get engaged to me?" ask Ryan.

"Hm.. Ja. But." answered Dinda doubtfully.

"But what?" ryan asked, looking into Dinda's eyes. Mouth can tell lies but eyes? The eyes cannot hide it.

"But.. I don't know." said Dinda nervously. He tried not to look at Ryan. However, his eyes still wanted to see Ryan.

"Either?" ryan murmured softly. Actually, Dinda could hear that. But he pretended not to know.

"Pulse.. Can I have a drink?" ask Dinda who's trying to shift things.

"Can. This." said Ryan while propping up the menu that was nearby.

"Why are they so awkward?" ask Leo who is watching from a distance.

"But, because you.. Because I can't date." replied Dinda hesitantly. He also held his ears.

Because you are the target of all women. And I am nothing, Dinda said in her heart.

"Can't?" muttered Leo.

"alright. I understand." replied Ryan after a while created a silence between the two of them.

Why do you have to lie? Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable? ryan looked at Dinda's smiling face. Ryan was eager to ask Dinda, but he knew that Dinda would not be comfortable with the question.

"Pulse.. L'm.. Ryan, I wanted to say. I'm sorry." said Dinda stammering.

"No need to apologize, you're not wrong." Ryan said.

"Hmm?" sahut Ryan's.

"Ryan, you're a good man. Find someone better than me. I'm sure he's out there waiting for you" Dinda said. He took a deep breath after saying that sentence.

Dinda, what the fuck? That sentence looks too clear. Is he gonna realize it? dinda said to herself.

"True, he's out there. He was waiting for me too. Thank you for saying that." Ryan said with a smile.

Oh. Thank goodness she did not notice it. Dinda's inner feeling relieved.

"So that block of ice can smile?" leo asked while shaking his head.

"Maybe I'm the one who's too worried about her. When he smiles, I go home" said Leo. He got out of the cafe and went home on his bike.

"Pulse.. It's already night. I go home first, yes." said Dinda. Dinda ordered Gojek. The order was cancelled by the driver.

Dinda tried a second time. But it was still cancelled.

"Would I take you home?" ask Ryan.

"Huh? N-no need. I can take a taxi." said Dinda. Ryan kept walking towards the bike. He put on his helmet and looked at Dinda who looked confused.

"Come aboard! Want to stay here alone until dawn?" exclaim Ryan.

"Ah, okay. Thanks, Ryan." said Dinda.

"It's" Ryan said thrusting a helmet at Dinda.

Good thing I brought a helmet over Ryan's mind. Ryan also helped Dinda wear the jacket she was carrying.

"T-No need. I'm not cold. You're the one who wears it." said Dinda, who was about to take off the jacket but was intercepted by Ryan's hand.

"Father, you just wear it." said Ryan.

"OK." said Dinda.

"Where's your house?" ask Ryan.

"Road Xxx No. Xx" replied Dinda. Ryan nodded as a lawyer.

"That's a tight grip" Ryan said. While in the middle of the road that is a bit quiet, Ryan deliberately accelerated his pace so inevitably Dinda hugged him.

His back is big to lean on as well. Dinda, what are you thinking? dinda in my heart. His cheeks flushed when he thought of this. However, Dinda immediately changed her position back to the way it was.

"It's over" Ryan said with a smile.

"Thank you for my anther" said Dinda after getting off the bike.

"Together." said Ryan.

"See later. Bye." said Dinda.

"Bye" said Ryan. Ryan continued on his way. He couldn't help but smile all the way. When he arrived at the room, he smiled.

"Dinda, I know you like me" Ryan said.
