That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved
The return of Priscilla
"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.
"Yes, I know. I know Dinda likes you." replied Leo.
"But why do you keep expressing your feelings?" ryan asked, frowning his forehead.
"Simple only. Every woman needs a certainty, Ryan." replied Leo with a smile.
"certainty?" sahut Ryan's.
"Women aren't that stupid. Even if they love a man very much, still humans have their own limits of patience. If after a long wait his feelings are not reciprocated, of course he will forget you." explained Leo.
"So, what's the conclusion?" ask Ryan.
"The conclusion is that if you don't give Dinda certainty, even if she now likes you, she'll forget you" Leo replied.
"Here you go, I told you. It's up to you how. I'm leaving first." said Leo, patting his cousin on the shoulder.
"certainty?" muttered Ryan.
Leo has a point too. Why did I never know that? ryan asked in his heart.

Morning in the dining room
"Son." call Jonathan.
"Yesterday, I heard you say you didn't want to lie to Clarissa. What's that about?" ask Jonathan.
"My feelings." replied Ryan nervously.
"Your feelings?" jonathan was a little surprised.
"Why? Is there another girl in your heart?" ask Jonathan.
"Yes" replied Ryan without hesitation.
"You sure? Who'sis that? Is she in class with you?" ask Jonathan.
"No." said Ryan briefly.
"So, who is he? Tell papa." Jonathan said with a suspicious look. She was afraid that the woman her son liked would be just like Alexa.
"Dinda Challista, XI D class" Ryan said.
"Then? Why do you like him?" ask Jonathan.
"Hmm.." said Ryan who is still trying to find the right sentence to answer the question from his Papa.
"Father! Ryan! I'm home!" shouted someone who was walking closer towards the two of them.
"Cilla's home?" ask Jonathan.
"Already, Pa. Didn't Papa miss Cilla?" priscilla said as she sings her lips spoiled.
"The two of you at home are okay?" priscilla asked while embracing Jonathan and Ryan on her right and left arms.
"Yes, Papa is fine." replied Jonathan.
"I'm always good as always." Ryan said in a flat tone as usual. He stood up from his chair and walked out of the dining room.
"That kid!" exclaim Jonathan.
"If it wasn't for my age, I would have scolded him for his disrespectful behavior" Jonathan said, shaking his head.
"Can he be busy on holidays like this?" jonathan asked annoyed.
"Pa, Ryan's the Chairman of OSIS. He could have another meeting or other need." replied Priscilla.
"Huh, stop. You continue to defend your brother." sighed Jonathan.
"Why did you come home early and not tell papa?" ask Jonathan.
"Pa, I'm a big boy. Why should I tell you?" ask Priscilla.
"Of course I should. You are still a whiny daughter to Papa." Jonathan replied with a soft laugh as he recalled the crying little Priscilla.
"Pa, I'm not as whiny anymore!" priscilla's grunt that didn't accept her was said to be crybaby.
"alright. Now tell me why you came home early?" ask Jonathan.
"Because I have an appointment to gather together later in the afternoon" replied Priscilla casually.
"Yemen? Which temen?" jonathan asked in shock.
"Temen deket me the old one, Pa. Papa be calm, I won't be troublemaking outside." replied Priscilla.
"That's not what you're worried about, but they might want to be friends with you because of your money, Cilla" Jonathan said.
"Why does Papa always assume that? Not everyone is evil." said Cilla.
"Ryan is currently really making Papa's head dizzy. You don't make Papa's head get dizzy" Jonathan said, massaging his temple.
"What did he do, anyway? Isn't he okay?" priscilla stared at Jonathan.
"One month ago, she got engaged to Clarissa. But now, he likes other women and wants to cancel the engagement that Papa and Om Revan have made so festively. Where would Papa and Om Revan's faces be if he thought about canceling the engagement?" jonathan asked in a high tone that indicated he was upset.
"Wait... Wait for... Whahuh? A fiancee? A month ago? Why didn't Papa invite me? At least Papa' will be able to tell me so I can chat with Ryan." said Priscilla who was disappointed because she did not know about the news at all.
"At that time, you were very excited to create your new design work and introduce it to the public. How could Papa have troubled you by telling you this little engagement?" obviously Jonathan.
"What does Papa mean not much? I thought Ryan would never like a woman again after that. But, right now she is engaged. Isn't that nice?" priscilla asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's good. It's just that this morning he told Papa that he likes other women." Jonathan replied, breathing rough.
"Ryan is not that kind of person. Did Papa force her to get engaged to someone she didn't like?" ask Priscilla.
"Maxed it? Why did Papa force her? After all, everything Papa has done for him all this time is for his own good." replied Jonathan firmly.
"But, Pa, not everything can be imposed." said Priscilla.
"Cilla, you must be tired from being on the plane for a long time. So you need to rest enough. Go to your room and rest." Jonathan said.
"Ok, fine!" sahut Cilla's.

Morning at The Big Heart Company
"Hendra." call Jonathan as the two of them are riding the elevator leading to the twentieth floor.
"Yes, Sir. Is there anything you need?" ask Hendra.
"Investigate in detail who Dinda Challista is. He's one school with Ryan, XI D class. Investigate secretly. Don't let Ryan realize it." Jonathan said giving clear instructions.
"Okay, sir." replied Hendra.
"If so, please let me know in the form of documents. And also, besides Ryan, don't let Cilla know this." said Jonathan. After that, he immediately stepped out of the elevator to head to his study.
"Good, Sir. I understand." said Hendra. He bowed and followed Jonathan out of the elevator to walk into his study.
