That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved
Engagement Cancelled
In the morning we headed to school
"Young man." call Hendra.
"What?" ryan asked while remaining focused on reading the textbook.
"I want to ask you something." replied Hendra.
"What's? Just say it." said Ryan without taking his eyes off.
"Actually, how much does the young master like Miss Dinda?" ask Hendra. Hearing this question left Ryan a little surprised.
"Hmm. I like her a lot, but I can't show her that feeling because Dinda definitely doesn't trust me for now. But, why suddenly ask this?" ryan asked suspiciously.
"It's okay. I just want to make sure." replied Hendra.
"Yes, if you have to complain to Papa." Ryan said.
"Young master, this time I asked not because I was told to. I just wanted to ask" Hendra said. There was no word after that because Ryan chose to be quiet until he arrived at school.

Daytime in Jonathan's study
"Hendra." call Jonathan.
"Yes, sir." said Hendra.
"Follow me into the study!" exclaim Jonathan. Hendra just followed his master's steps up to the study.
"The cancellation of Ryan and Clarissa's engagement" Jonathan said as he sat in his chair.
"Are you sure you've thought about it well, sir?" asked Hendra doubtfully.
"Yes, for now, this is the best. I asked Revan and he agreed." replied Jonathan.
Tok...
"Excuse me, Mister. This is the coffee you asked for." said Mr. Eko as he put a glass of coffee on Jonathan's desk.
"Thank you." Jonathan said. Mr. Eko resigned from the room.
"Master, are you planning to match young Master again in the future?" sahut Hendra with a frown.
"of course. Right now, it's up to Ryan to be with Dinda. After all, dating young people today can last how long?" jonathan asked as he sipped his coffee.
"I don't know, sir." replied Hendra.
"Sir... May I speak of the situation of the young master?" asked Hendra with a serious look.
"What?" jonathan Sahut.
"To be honest, all this time young master may still have trauma since the sudden departure of Miss Alexa at that time. From that moment on, the young master became a cold figure. But, right now the young master likes Miss Dinda.. Isn't that nice, Mister?" asked Hendra nervously.
"Hendra, did Ryan ask you to defend him?" jonathan looked into the eyes of his personal assistant.
"No, Mister. The young master never asked me anything." elak Hendra. This time, it was indeed he himself who took the initiative to support Ryan.
"Yes, based on his personality, he won't ask you for anything. But why are you defending him?" jonathan asked suspiciously.
"Pa, why is Papa so dubious about Ryan?" priscilla asked who just walked into her Papa's office.
"Cilla, did you eavesdrop on Daritadi?" jonathan asked, not asking Priscilla.
"I don't intend to eavesdrop. It's just a coincidence. But, do you want to keep pushing Ryan?" priscilla Sahut.
"Press you say? Why is Papa pressing him?" ask Jonathan.
"Ryan was so serious about Dinda. I can confirm that." replied Priscilla.
"Where's the evidence?" ask Jonathan.
"Do they all need proof? Sometimes, love comes on suddenly. Why did Papa even ban it? Didn't you ever marry your mom because you liked her?" priscilla Sahut.
"Papa married your Mama out of liking. But, look at it now. Where is her sense of care and responsibility as a Mama after she gave birth to you and Ryan?" ask Jonathan.
"But why did Mama suddenly leave us? That's not possible! There must be a reason behind it all, right! There's not a mother who's that big!" exciting Priscilla.
"You're a double-eyed woman, Cilla. Papa's just trying to prevent Ryan from getting a sneaky partner like your Mama" Jonathan said.
"But the soul mate is arranged by God, Pa! How could Papa prevent it?" exciting Priscilla.
"Cilla, do you think your soul mate can choose for yourself? Papa knows that the soul mate was chosen by God. But, look, you're a good match for Alvaro, too. Anyway, everything Papa chose for the two of you is the best" Jonathan said.
"Oh, yes. You and Alvaro are getting married in 1 month" he said.
"What's? 1 month? Does Papa want to torture me?!" shouted Priscilla who was surprised because the wedding is only 1 month away.
"Marry so you can live happily, Cilla. After all, Alvaro is the perfect match for you. He won't torture you." Jonathan explained.
"He won't torture me! Papa is the one who tortured me! Papa is so evil!" priscilla's screams that instantly stomped her feet and left from there.
"Young people today... Why is that so emotional?" jonathan muttered while shaking his head.

Afternoon in the school parking lot
"Young man." call Hendra when Ryan gets in the car.
"How difficult is it to call my name? What's up?" ryan asked annoyed. He had told Hendra hundreds of times to call his name only and not with the call 'Young master'.
"Your engagement to Miss Clarissa has been cancelled" replied Hendra.
"What's? Really true?" asked Ryan enthusiastically.
"Yes, how dare I lie to you, young Master." said Hendra.
"Thank you" Ryan said with a smile.
"Where are you going, young master?" asked Hendra confused when he saw Ryan who immediately opened the car door with a feeling of pleasure.
"I'll be right back." replied Ryan. Hendra just smiled as he shook his head.
