That Handsome Ketos, my Beloved
Dinda Hit by Basketball
Afternoon at school
After the school bell rings, Dinda, Amanda, and Ayu exit the classroom together. To get to the school lobby, they had to pass through the corridor beside the field first. However, as the three of them walked near the court, suddenly there was a basketball that landed right on Dinda's forehead.
“Din! You gapapa?” asked Ayu who immediately panicked when she saw Dinda's forehead began to swell.
“Din,” call Amanda. However, Dinda did not reply and immediately ran to the park to cry there. Ryan who was passing through the corridor with Leo happened to see Dinda running towards the park so Ryan immediately caught up with Dinda. Meanwhile, Leo was left just like that in the corridor.
No way the ball from inside the field can be mental to Dinda's head when he passes again. Today's event must have been planned from the beginning, Leo said in his heart. He began to observe his surroundings and saw Clarissa who stepped back slowly and suddenly ran very quickly to a place.
“Dia why?” muttered Leo. Out of curiosity, he eventually follows Clarissa to the back yard of the school.
“Clarissa, you bad guy. How could you betray your own best friend?” ask Clarissa to herself. Without realizing it, tears began to flow all over his face. He only cried for a while, then he immediately wiped his tears and decided to return to the location as if nothing had happened.
“Hah, Leo!” clarissa shouted in surprise as Leo was already standing before her.
“Why you?” ask Leo.
“You've heard it all, ‘kan?” ask Clarissa.
“What does it mean to betray your own best friend?” sahut Leo's.
“Yes, I did it. I am among the people behind today's incident,” replied Clarissa honestly.
“You don't want to ask anything?” clarissa asked who was confused because Leo did not open his mouth at all.
“Because you are crying here, you are sorry,” replied Leo.
“How can you know?” ask Clarissa with a smile.
“You are not a bad person, you only do it because of force,” Leo said.
“There are people who forced you to do this, ‘kan?” ask Leo who has been suspicious since the beginning. Clarissa did not reply and immediately shifted her gaze in the other direction. Leo also did not let out his voice again to wait for an explanation from Clarissa.
“Why don't you blame me? You ‘kan also like Dinda! Come hit me!” clarissa cried while crying. Leo immediately understood that Clarissa did not want to tell him. He hugged Clarissa tightly so that the girl's tears washed over her uniform. After Clarissa finished crying, Leo immediately wiped the rest of her tears to make Clarissa's face look like usual.
“You can go now,” Leo said.
“You sure you want to release someone who has done evil?” ask Clarissa curiously.
“One more time, apologize to Dinda if you do regret your actions,” Leo added.
“I'm leaving if you don't want to say anything more,” said Leo who was about to leave the place.
“You will tell me to Dinda?” ask Clarissa.
“I am not a person who likes to chat,” replied Leo. After that, he turned his body to leave.
“But if you help cover my mistake, you can follow the impact,” said Clarissa who immediately made Leo stop his steps. However, Leo did not turn his body so Clarissa could not see Leo's current expression.
“What if I get hit? As long as you are safe, that is enough,” Leo said while raising both eyebrows.
“You're crazy, huh?” clarissa asked while frowning.
“Iya, I'm crazy,” Leo replied with a smile.
“I go first,” he added who immediately stepped away from it.
“Where does he want to go?” clarissa muttered as she stared at Leo's departure.

Afternoon in the school garden
“Hiks.” Ryan could still hear Dinda crying on the park bench. Ryan walked over and sat down next to his girlfriend.
“Ri?” dinda asked after she realized that the person sitting next to her was Ryan.
“Your forehead..” Ryan said as he looked at Dinda's swollen forehead.
“I buy medicinal ointment, yes,” Ryan added with a smile.
“I gapapa, Ri. But you why?” ask Dinda in panic.
Seriate……
