That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved
Statement by Ryan
"Let's go!" ryan said as he pulled Clarissa's hand away from there.
"Are they gonna skip?" ask one of the students.
"Well, how lucky the new boy is." said another student.
"Did Ryan like it?" timpal another student.
"Alexa!" scream Angel. Alexa who was lazy to deal with Angel immediately turned her eyes and turned to face him.
"What's up, Angeline's daughter?" alexa asked with a smile.
"You intentionally?" sahut Angel's.
"What's? I don't understand what you mean." Alexa replied.
"Somewhat have you planned. I'll let you know it won't work!" firmly Angel.
"Where can you be sure that my plan won't work?" alexa does not accept.
"I can see from Ryan's eyes, he's not interested in you at all. Now, you're making him mad. What else are you going to do to get his attention?" cetus Angel's.
"Huh! You don't need to know. We'll see!" alexa Hardik. He went straight from there.

"Din." call Ayu.
"Why are your faces so sad?" ask Ayu.
"What a hell." replied Dinda.
"Why? Are you still the same thing that happened this morning?" ask Ayu worriedly.
"That's it, but.." answered Dinda.
"Ah, done. You don't have to think about it, yeah." said Ayu. Dinda just nodded.

Night at the Satrio Residence
"Where was Ryan taking Clarissa, huh?" dinda asked with all her unanswered curiosity.
"Dinda, what are you thinking about him? Inget said Ayu. Don't think about it." said Dinda to herself. Suddenly, his phone rang.
[Dinda] "Hello."
[Clarissa] "Hello, Din."
[Dinda] "Yes, Clar."
[Clarissa] "Can we meet tonight or tomorrow?"
[Dinda] "Today can. What time do you want to see me?"
[Clarissa] "20 minutes to go. I'm straight to your house, yeah."
[Dinda] "OK."
...****************...
"Hi, Din!" clarissa looks enthusiastic.
"Hi, Clar." said Dinda with a smile.
"It's for you" Clarissa said as she thrust out a large plastic pack.
"Thank you, yes." said Dinda after receiving it.
"Yes. I'm sorry I came to malem-malem" Clarissa said.
"Look.. Because it's too bad and I'm afraid I'm bothering you, so I'll tell you a short story" Clarissa said.
"So, Ryan took me to the mall." Clarissa said.
The mall? They're really truant? ask Dinda in my heart. Even in the first sentence that Clarissa spoke, she had already looked limp to hear her continuation.
"Keep, he's a little different today. He's not really Ryan. He cares a lot and has no flat face like he usually does." continued Clarissa. Dinda just nodded slowly.
"So she also took me to lunch and.." Clarissa explained. He looked towards Dinda whose face looked sleepy.
"Din." call Clarissa.
"Din!" call Clarissa again.
"Ah, yes." said Dinda.
"Are you sleepy?" ask Clarissa.
"Cook. Continue the story." replied Dinda.
"So, he had taken me to lunch at a rather quiet restaurant. Keep saying something to me." said Clarissa.

Flashbacks
"Clarissa." call Ryan.
"Yes." said Clarissa.
"I want to say something. Are you willing to hear it?" ask Ryan.
"Yes, of course." replied Clarissa.
"I.. Since the beginning of this fiancee was planned, I was never told papa. When you were engaged to you, the ring.. Not choice. What's more, actually, I liked Dinda before I got engaged to you." Ryan said.
"What?" ask Clarissa who still doesn't believe. He looked towards the flower-patterned ring he was wearing.
"Papa always told me the ring was your choice." murmured Clarissa in a quiet voice that Ryan couldn't hear.
"I know this might surprise you. But, I don't want to hide this much longer. You are a good girl. Papa always told me that." explains Ryan.
"Ryan." said Clarissa.
"So, the best is.. Look for other men out there who can treat you better than me. I can't treat you well. I can't forget Dinda either. I'm sorry." sidelines Ryan.
"You mean, you want us not to get engaged again? But, do you think our papa would approve?" ask Clarissa.
"don't know. At least I should try." replied Ryan.
"Aren't you afraid it's gonna be dangerous?" ask Clarissa.
"Clarissa, that's not what matters now. I appreciate your opinion. What do you think of what I said? Are you letting me? If you allow it, I will do it. It doesn't matter whether you agree to it or not" Ryan explained.
"If I don't allow it?" sahut Clarissa's.
"I." said Ryan. He was confused how to answer this question. Clarissa laughed looking at Ryan's confused expression for the first time.
"Why laugh?" ask Ryan.
"No. It's the first time I've seen smart people bewildered in their decisions." replied Clarissa.
"Are you sure?" ask Clarissa. Ryan nodded in response.
"All right, I'll let you. Tryin. Good luck" said Clarissa, holding Ryan's hands on the table.
"Thank you." Ryan said.
