That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved
Engagement Event
Afternoon in Jonathan's House
"Put this on Clarissa's ring finger later" Jonathan said, propping a small box.
"Pa, but.." said Ryan when his father gave him a jewelry box, a ring.
"Papa knows that. Only this time be normal" Jonathan said, patting his son on the shoulder.
"Pa." said Ryan.
"Let's go! Revan and Clarissa must have left, too." Jonathan said. Ryan only sighed and then stepped his legs that felt heavy to get into the car. Along the way, Ryan did not speak a word.
...****************...
At night in the grandest hotel in Jakarta
How am I gonna put this on her? ryan asked in his heart.
"Remember, just answer yes when asked and put this on Clarissa's ring finger. Then, you just need to look friendly for a photo session later. Follow the directions from the cameraman" Jonathan reminded.
"Yes." said Ryan who sounded lethargic. He followed the father stepping into the main hall with a heavy heart.
...****************...
"Haha.. Congratulations on the engagement of your two children. Ryan, Clarissa, you're all grown up now. You grew up to be very handsome and beautiful" said one business associate.
"Congratulations. I'm happy for you. Ryan, I hope you can make it happy" said one of Revan's junior colleagues. To be honest, he had liked Clarissa for a long time. But, today he saw this engagement event, he had already decided to release Clarissa.
"I-Yes, Sis." said Ryan. Ryan felt so awkward being here. So, he briefly went out to the hotel park for a walk.
"Ryan." call someone.
"Oh, hi Clarissa" said Ryan.
"none. I just want to see the sky and the stars." replied Ryan.
"Oh, that's it." said Clarissa.
"Sir, young lady, where have you been? Great Lord Revan and Mr. Jonathan and we have all been looking for you everywhere. Turns out you're here. Come with me to return to the main hall so that the young ladies and gentlemen can take a photo session" said Kevin, a bodyguard who was assigned by Revan to guard Clarissa during the event.
"alright. Thank you, sir." said Clarissa.
"Ryan, Come!" bring Clarissa.
"Yes." said Ryan. He follows Clarissa's steps to return to the main hall.
"This is our partner. Why just came back?" teased one of his young business partners.
"Surely abis friendly out there, yes." seduced one of the other business partners.
"That's a lot of love?" ask one of my other colleagues.
"Hey, you guys are nothing!" reprimand a more senior business associate.
"Yes, we were just kidding." said one of the business partners who had teased Ruan and Clarissa.
"Udah, no. The photo session is about to begin. Don't get ruined by a young person's event" said the senior business associate.
Finally, the photo session that became the highlight of the event today was held. This photo session is a beautiful thing for everyone who attended, except Ryan, Clarissa, and Revan's colleague friends who like Clarissa. The three of them both enjoyed this event with fake smiles.
"It's time for Brother Ryan Jonathan to put a ring on the ring finger of Clarissa's sister Adrian Wijaya" said the MC who hosted the show that night. Ryan pulled out a beautiful ring from his pocket. He took the ring in white gold with a heart motif on it from the ring box and put it on Clarissa's ring finger.
I'm sorry, Dinda Ryan said in his heart as he put the ring on Clarissa's ring finger. Ryan even paired the ring with his eyes closed.
Seriate......
