That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved
Acting
In Ryan's car
Why is he so different today? ask Dinda in my heart. In fact, the cause of Ryan's happiness this morning was caused by Dinda.
"Let's just kayak usually, right?" asked Dinda who finally opened the conversation after creating a long silence between the two of them.
"What?" ryan asked from his daydream.
"Yes, he means kayak first" replied Dinda nervously. Ryan seemed to still think a while ago to reply.
"You don't want our friends to know if we're dating?" ryan asked in a soft tone but sounded cold.
"It's not that, but it's not time we tell them" replied Dinda.
"Hmm," Ryan only replied briefly.
"Last week, let's tell them" said Dinda.
"It's too sudden this morning" Dinda tried to give her understanding.
"Okay," Ryan said. Yes, at least he was quite relieved that Dinda herself took the initiative to tell their friends at the end of this week that they were currently a pair of 'lovers'.

Inside the school lobby
"Non Dinda, that's his girlfriend, Non?" asked Mr. Susilo while pointing to the man not far away standing behind him. The man's face looked very different today. Dinda wants to keep going in a hurry to get in first so that no one is suspicious about her relationship with Ryan. However, it was precisely Dinda who walked in such a hurry that even more arousing suspicion.
"Hahaha, what are you talking about? Excuse me for going up to the classroom first," replied Dinda who instead shifted the subject.
"OK, Non," said Mr. Susilo.
"From Non Dinda's movements was a bit strange this morning, was it not that the handsome young man was actually his girlfriend? But they look good anyway. Well, Susilo, you still want to understand young people. Udah, mending further work," muttered Susilo while shaking his head.

The canteen
This afternoon, Dinda, Amanda, Rangga, Ayu, and Leo will be eating together in the cafeteria. Budi did not come because today he did not enter permission to accompany his sick mother. And the way they sit is still as usual. Dinda is next to Ayu and Rangga and Amanda who sit next to Leo to replace the vacant Budi position next to him.
"Din," called Amanda with her smiling gaze.
"Yes?" sahut Dinda was shocked because he was called while he was drinking sweet iced tea. Fortunately, he did not choke.
"Why the hell, Manda?" asked Dinda again after sipping her tea.
"That's Ryan why do you keep staring?" Amanda asked back using her chin to point at Ryan. Dinda looked to her left side where Ryan who was outside the cafeteria looked at her with a faint smile. Dinda then raised both of her eyebrows and lightning-fast turned her gaze forward. Leo, who had noticed Ryan's intense gaze and smile, already knew what was on his cousin's mind at the moment.
"Huh? Any time?" sahut Dinda with a slightly flushed face and a tone of speech that pretends not to know. To be exact, he was trying to ignore that gaze that could make him misbehave.
"Ouch, Din. Why are you not sensitive anyway? Obviously Ryan likes you, too" Ayu said with her eyes widened with enthusiasm for explaining. Dinda just wanted to say but Rangga has preceded him.
"By the way about being sensitive, you are also not sensitive anyway," Rangga suddenly said that would make Ayu upset.
"What do I need to be sensitive about? There's nothing going on around me!" sentak Ayu's.
"Isn't there anything you said?" asked Rangga in a soft tone.
"What indeed?" sahut Ayu was upset. Rangga did not answer any questions from Ayu and chose to leave this place immediately.
"I'm full. I go first" said Rangga as he passed away.
"Well, you're just starting to eat." said Ayu after seeing the rest in the bowl of noodles that Rangga still have a lot.
"See you later" said Rangga to everyone sitting there.
"Well, follow the Staircase," said Amanda.
"Why should it be covered? He's not a child" Ayu said as she scooped up her spoon. He was about to put it in his mouth but finally heaved a heavy sigh and followed Rangga's steps.

Ryan just walked out of his classroom after school. However, Leo was suddenly already in front of his classroom with a somewhat strange look. Ryan is bodoamate and is about to leave Leo there because he doesn't think Leo came to his class to look for him.
"Hey, you two have been acting since?" leo asked with a smile and raised both eyebrows.
"Whatchu mean? I don't understand," Ryan replied as he spread his shoulder.
"Don't pretend to be selfish! There must be something going on between the two of you!" snapped Leo annoyed.
"Trust in what you want to believe,” Ryan said as he continued walking with a smiling face that revealed happiness.
"Huh! You really.." Leo grumbled annoyed until he kicked Ryan's leg. Ryan who was hit by the kick instead this time did not react and did not retaliate. Ryan was still slowly moving forward.
"Hey, so when did you shoot him?" ask Leo with his tone.
"You think?" ryan replied without looking at his cousin.
"A week ago? No, you guys still look normal back then. Three days ago?" ask Leo. Ryan just flicked his shoulders with a smile and continued walking.
"Do you want to keep your mouth shut?" ask Leo because they feel neglected.
Seriate......
