That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved
Leo Expresses Feelings
Night in the living room
"Pa." call Ryan.
"Regarding my engagement to Clarissa, I want you to cancel it" said Ryan who immediately expressed his intention.
"What?" jonathan asked in shock.
"I asked Clarissa. He also agreed that this was all canceled." Ryan replied casually.
"Why? Do you think Clarissa is not a good woman? She's not the same as Alexa!" shouted Jonathan. Hearing the name 'Alexa' alone Ryan became even more annoyed.
"I know that! Just because I know that's why.. I don't want to lie to him." exclaimed Ryan.
"What's? What have you done?" jonathan asked after he had let out a rough breath.
"Talk to him about cancelling this event. He also agreed. Why would you force us to stay engaged if it wasn't for love?" sahut Ryan's.
"Ok, it's up to you. Let's just say you two and Revan agreed to cancel. But, the show has already been done. Where's papa's face?" asked Jonathan in a high tone.
"Is the face so important to you?" ask Ryan.
"Yes! Sure thing!" answer Jonathan.
"All right." said Ryan. He went straight to his room.
At a time like this, should I go see Leo? inner Ryan.
"Where he usually is... That cafe?" muttered Ryan. He immediately took the key and went to the cafe through the back door of his house.
...****************...
At night at the cafe
Previously, Leo and Dinda had promised to meet tonight at the cafe they usually visit because of its location near the school.
"Hi, Din." said Leo.
"Hi." said Dinda.
"What are you talking about?" ask Dinda.
"I like you" said Leo.
"Huh?" asked Dinda who almost choked on the tea she just drank. He put his glass on the table.
"I like you, Din" said Leo once again.
"Oh... I like you too." said Dinda with a smile. He thought Leo meant to be friends with him. Of course, Dinda also likes Leo as a friend.
"Not as a friend, but more than that" said Leo who looked serious.
"You mean?" asked Dinda innocently.
"As a man, what do you think I look like?" ask Leo gently. However, things become difficult for Dinda.
"Yes... You are handsome, smart, and funny even if you are not so tall. Haha, that's my opinion." replied Dinda trying to melt the atmosphere with a laugh.
"Hm... There's still something I want to ask you again" Leo said.
"What's that?" sahut Dinda's.
"Do you like Ryan?" ask Leo.
Well how is this... What do I have to answer? Oh my God how will I answer the question? dinda began to panic.
"Haha. Why ask about Ryan?" asked Dinda who was trying to set her facial expression so as not to look awkward.
"Father. You don't want to answer?" tell Leo with a smile.
"It's not. Yes, he looks like you, a higher version." replied Dinda while chuckling softly.
"You're right too. So, you think Ryan's a lot of women because he's taller than me?" ask Leo.
"Maybe it's because he's a basketball kid" replied Dinda who had originally guessed.
"Then, who's better looking?" ask Leo.
Oh, this other question! yelled Dinda in the heart.
"Of course you're more handsome" Dinda replied with a smile and patted Leo's right arm on the table.
"Really?" sahut Leo's.
"last. Who do you prefer as a boyfriend? Me or Ryan?" leo asked, looking into Dinda's eyes. Dinda who was aware of herself being stared at immediately threw her face in the other direction. Of course through Dinda's eyes, Leo already knew the answer to his question.
What the fuck! Leo, why are you so weird today? dinda in my heart. His current facial expression was like saying 'please stop this absurd question.'
"Yes..." Dinda was still thinking about the answer he would give Leo. However, his smartphone suddenly rang because someone called.
Fortunately, I survived. Thank you, Clar. Inner Dinda.
"Ah, this is Clarissa suddenly phone. I lift up first, yes." said Dinda as she passed away.
"Oh, yes." said Leo. 20 minutes later, Dinda returned to her seat earlier.
"His phone?" ask Leo.
"Udah." answered Dinda.
"Din." call Leo.
"Yes?" sahut Dinda's.
"About what I first said, I'm serious about it" said Leo who currently showed his serious face. However, without Dinda and Leo noticing, there was someone watching them.
"Which one?" ask Dinda who pretends not to know.
"I like you more than a friend." replied Leo.
"Ah, yes... Of course you are serious." said Dinda while looking down. I don't know what he's looking at down there.
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" ask Leo with a serious look.
"Think about that. I'm not forcing you to answer me now, but I'm waiting for your answer" Leo said in a soft tone. If the girl before him now was not Dinda, it was certain that no one would refuse. It's just that Dinda is different from the other girls.
"I-yes thank you, Leo" said Dinda nervously.
"You want me to drive you home?" ask Leo.
"Father, I can go home by myself. Thanks, Leo." replied Dinda.
"It's so be careful on the road" Leo said with a smile.
"Yes, you too." said Dinda with a smile. After that, he went straight to his car to go home. Leo also heads to his bike but his steps are prevented by someone. Yeah, it was Ryan.
"Ryan's? Why are you here?" leo asked, surprised to see Ryan.
"Follow to my house" said Ryan. He didn't ask Leo's question.
"Now?" sahut Leo while frowning his forehead in confusion.
"Yes" replied Ryan.
"OK." said Leo. He himself did not understand why Ryan even told him to come home. Ryan never invited her to come.
...****************...
At night on Ryan's balcony
"Why bring me here?" ask Leo.
"Why?" Ryan asked back.
"What's the reason?" leo is confused.
"You decided to express your feelings" Ryan said.
"Because I like him too, just like you." replied Leo.
"Before expressing my feelings, I had already pondered over them. Even if I am rejected, of course I still have to state it as long as there is still a chance" Leo said with a sigh.
"Hey, you." said Ryan, trying to hold back his emotions. Anyway, Leo's talk has a point. As long as there is still a chance, it must be used as well as possible.
"sorry. But you also know, if you keep delaying, there will be no more opportunities left." said Leo.
"Leo." call Ryan.
"Yes?" sahut Leo's.
"Do you know?" ask Ryan.
Seriate......
