That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved
Ryan and Dinda
In the car
"Would you like to tune the song?" ask Ryan. Dinda was still staring at her phone screen to tell her brother that she was going home with Ryan.
"Um.7 rings Ariana Grande" replied Dinda. Ryan immediately played it for Dinda.
"Ryan," call Dinda when the traffic light is red.
"Hmm" said Ryan.
"You're gapapa?" asked Dinda who had previously tried to dare herself to ask.
"What does that mean?" sahut Ryan's.
"You are so different today" replied Dinda.
"What's different?" ask Ryan.
"No. Maybe I'm the only one who feels that way" said Dinda, shaking her head slowly.
"What do you feel?" ryan asked curiously.
"Huh? N-nothing." replied Dinda while throwing her gaze the other way.
"There really isn't?" ryan asked with a smile.
"So!" dinda exclaimed as she ventured to look at Ryan.
Crazy, he's handsome as it turns out! Her smile could make me salting. Nawat, can't see him for long, inner Dinda whose heart is racing after seeing Ryan up close.
"Ri," call Dinda.
"Yes?" ryan asked, looking confused.
"Oh, sorry. That was me. G. accidentally called. a nickname," said Dinda nervously.
"Father. You're the first person to give me a nickname" Ryan said.
"Why?" coined.
"I forgot to buy a book. Can we stop by the bookstore here?" ask Dinda.
"Can" said Ryan.
"A further hundred meters is over" said Dinda. Ryan just nodded. After they arrived, Ryan immediately parked his car.

In the bookstore
Dinda chose several textbooks as well as novels from famous authors such as Andrea Hirata and Erisca Febriani. However, just as he was about to pick up the book available on the top shelf on tiptoes, Ryan had already picked it up for him.
Why is he looking so handsome today? ask Dinda in my heart.
"Thank you" said Dinda.
"Together" said Ryan with a smile. After they finished taking all the books Dinda needed, they headed to the cashier together.
"That's three hundred thousand in total, brother," said the cashier. Dinda was just about to open her wallet but Ryan was already standing next to her.
"This, Ma'am," said Ryan while handing cash amounting to three hundred thousand to the cashier.
"Don't, Ma! Wear this one," cried Dinda. However, Ryan's money was already taken by the cashier.
"Thank you, sister, Welcome back," said the cashier, handing Dinda the books to take home. Dinda had her own shopping bag so she stuffed her books into it.
"Together" said Dinda.

In the car
"Ri, here I change," said Dinda, offering three hundred thousand dollars.
"No, no" Ryan said without taking the money out of Dinda's hands.
"But, it's expensive, Ri!" urge Dinda while still giving her money.
"Father," said Ryan.
"Where can it go? Just take it," said Dinda.
"No, no" Ryan said. Dinda finally resigned rather than he had to argue with Ryan about money.
"Sir" answered Dinda.
"But your stomach is asking to be filled. Let's eat!" take Ryan.
"What do you want to eat?" ask Ryan.
"What," replied Dinda.
"OKAY. If so, we go to a restaurant here, yes," said Ryan. Dinda just nodded because her body was already limp. He remembered that he had forgotten to eat this afternoon because he was doing his job.
"You haven't had lunch?" ryan asked Dinda.
"Yet. Where do you know?" ask Dinda.
"You're pale" replied Ryan.
"Seriously?" ask Dinda in shock. He immediately saw his face on the windshield in front of him.
"It's pale, but I'm not ugly, am I?" dinda asked unconsciously if she asked Ryan that.
"Hmm, you are always beautiful" Ryan replied with a smile.
Actually, he or she is crazy. I must be crazy. Stupidly, I could go to him. Din, you must be aware! He's seen you again. Don't be ashamed anymore! inner Dinda.
"Ehem. My face is pale again where it may be beautiful" said Dinda.
"Now, you look up at the sky above. What do you think?" ryan asked with a smile.
"The color of the sky is a bit different, but it is very beautiful," replied Dinda while looking at the twilight sky that is slightly pink like aurora.
"You are, too" said Ryan.
"Thank you" said Dinda slowly.

In the restaurant
"Good food?" ask Ryan. When he saw the way Dinda ate, he knew that Dinda must be the son of a rich man.
Good thing I chose a rather expensive restaurant, Ryan inner.
"Yes" replied Dinda slowly.
"If you want, you can take me here any time" Ryan said.
"Ah, okay," said Dinda.
After they finished eating, they saw a bill in front of them. Dinda began to see the food and drink he ordered up to one hundred and fifty thousand.
"I paid for myself, I have mine" said Dinda, taking one hundred and fifty thousand out of her purse.
"No, no" Ryan said.
"Father, I pay" said Dinda, putting the money she held into Ryan's hands.
"No need, save your money," said Ryan while returning the money to the hands of Dinda who made him resigned and in the end he saved the money back into his wallet.

The Alexa House
"Clarissa, I'll just go straight to the point. I'm taking you to my place because I want you to open your eyes to what's going on" Alexa said.
"What's that?" ask Clarissa.
"Before, you were Ryan's fiancee. Then, Ryan chose Dinda instead of you. Aren't you sad?" ask Alexa.
"I'm sorry, if your goal is to invite me to just talk about this, I'll make it clear that I'm not sad. Ryan and Dinda like each other." replied Clarissa.
"And you want to continue living a miserable life like this? To give up for someone else? You're too good!" alexa Jokes.
"I'd better be like this. I can't be selfish" Clarissa said.
"OKAY. What if I could make your future better? Do you want to accept my offer?" ask Alexa.
"What future? What are you gonna do about it?" sahut Clarissa's.
