The Conqueror Who Conquered

The Cinema

"I'll pick you up tonight." Harry said as he walked towards their car.

"alright. Just a little promise, yeah." Richi stopped walking when he realized Harry was unmoved, silently staring across the street.

Richi follows Harry's gaze and finds Shera sitting in the park across the street together...

Richi narrowed his eyes, looking at the familiar figure from behind. "Hugo.." he muttered softly.

Richi sees Harry's reaction, though he can't see his face, but the man's hand is clenched.

"What do you see, Harry?" Richi asked as if she did not know what made the man change.

"No, let's go in." He said, but with a face that still leads there.

Richi doesn't know if Harry is upset about being jealous when Shera is with another man, or upset about Hugo being there.

"Who was with Shera?" Richi asks after the car leaves the restaurant.

"You seen him?"

Richi nodded.

"Eitherway. Let him be with anyone." He replied without looking at Richi but the vexation still appeared on his face.

"Shera's a good girl, yeah. How long has he been with you? Looks like he's loyal."

"That's how." She replied reluctantly because of her sudden bad mood.

"Are you jealous?"

Harry looked at Richi with a dislike face. "Absolutely not. He's just my assistant, not my girlfriend. If you were, I'd be jealous."

Richi held back her laughter. No one can lie about their feelings.

...🐥...

Richi stands in front of a neatly arranged line of novels on the shelf. He asks Harry to drop him off at the bookstore to buy some novels.

His mind was not focused on the book in front of him. He had only thought about Hugo since then.

Richi pulls out his phone and sends Hugo a message.

'Hugo, are you busy?'

Just a few seconds away from sending the message, Richi's phone instantly shook. Hugo called.

"Chi, I'm sorry.."

Hugo's voice sounded clear.

"I've been thinking about my mistake, but I don't know. I'm sorry I upset you, but tell me to apologize to you."

Richi lowered his head, his treatment was indeed unfair to Hugo. But what his brother said was also convincing to make him reluctant to see Hugo, especially if what his brother said was true, he must be very sorry for his feelings for the man.

"Can you meet me now?" Richi goes straight out of the bookstore to the location he mentioned to Hugo.

Hugo appeared with a gasp of breath, sweat dots appearing on his forehead. He was already changing into a school uniform, wearing a black polo shirt and jeans.

"Have you waited long? Am I old?" He asked while breathing.

Richi did not reply, he just stared at Hugo with a wistful glance. The man in front of her seemed to really like her. Where could he be stabbing in the back.

"Chi, what's wrong? Tell me." Hugo moved to sit next to Richi. He felt dissatisfied if he was not close to the girl.

"Hugo, is there something you haven't told me?"

Hugo furrowed his brows. "Is there anything? You ask, I will answer. You want to know what, I'll be honest with you."

Richi tilted his seat to Hugo, looking up at Hugo.

"I heard that you could assemble a bomb. Is true?"

Richi could see Hugo's surprised look from his slightly widened eyes.

Hugo let out his breath slowly. Then he nodded.

"really. I can do it."

Richi threw away his face, looked at the drink in front of him and stirred it slowly. It turns out what his brother said was true. So, is he really involved?

"But I'm not standing with them." His answer immediately seemed to know the contents of Richi's head.

Hugo cupped his hands together on Richi's cheeks. "Heard me. I need your trust. I don't want a story, it's just the timing isn't right. Please just trust me. I can't defend my beloved's enemy."

Richi looked into both of Hugo's eyes expecting an answer to support him at this moment. Richi just nodded slowly even though he himself did not understand what was going on. This problem is very complicated. The relationship of two children who did not get along and somehow it seems to be true, Hugolah who made the bombs for Harry.

Suddenly Hugo pulls Richi into his embrace, he rubs Richi's head gently.

"I understand what confuses you. Sorry, I haven't been able to tell much. But please, trust me. I will not betray you. Yea?"

Richi nodded at Hugo's chest. He also did not return Hugo's embrace because his confusion had not disappeared. Then how's it going? He's afraid Ricky attacked Hugo secretly.

"You don't worry, I won't do anything bad." He said to Richi.

"You met Shera?" Richi asked while sitting up straight.

"You know what?"

"Harry slapped him. Shera seems to have gotten used to Harry's harsh treatment. But he didn't care if Harry wanted to be with him. He's also jealous because Harry looks warm when he's with you. He had never seen such a Harry when he was with her." Obviously Hugo is long.

"It seems that Harry has not realized that he is dependent on the girl. Wait when she finds out who I am, then she realizes how she feels about that girl." Richi said, then gulped down his drink.

"Wanna watch?" Hugo suddenly.

"I'm still wearing school clothes." Richi replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"We buy it. Come on.." Hugo pulled Richi's hand and grabbed her towards the clothing store.

Hugo is buying a ticket, while Richi is leaning against one of the walls that not many people there.

He could see Hugo who was suddenly in the presence of two women. I don't know what their conversation was, it seems that the woman asked for her number because she was seen handing over her phone to Hugo. Hugo is also seen pointing at Richi as his lover.

Realizing that, Richi shook her head as the two women came looking towards her.

"Didn't you?" I heard the voice of one of the girls.

"Looks like he's not your girlfriend, you're just pointing, yeah." Say the other girl.

Richi immediately threw away his face, hiding his gel when he saw Hugo frowning. While Richi can't bear to laugh, it feels good to be able to prank Hugo.

In a fit of annoyance, Hugo leaves the two girls behind and walks towards Richi.

Richi closed his mouth with his hands and laughed. Hugo immediately locked the girl's neck with his arm.

"Did you say that?"

Richi hits Hugo's arm that locks his neck while laughing.

"Yes, yes, sorry.."

"Why don't you admit me, huh?"

Hugo seemed to not care about the surroundings, he continued to hold onto Richi who had not stopped laughing.

"I'm kidding, I swear haha.lepasss!"

"Call me 'dear' and I let you go."

"Haha don't want to!"

Hugo pressed his arm.

"Oh, well, you're seriously going to kill me, yeah. Haha."

"Quick call me baby, I'll take it off."

"Haha, yes. Already right? Take it off."

Hugo held a smile until he made his nose gobble up. Just this time Richi called out to her, though by force.

"Well, come on, let's go get some popcorn." Hugo drags the girl with his arms still coiled around Richi's neck.

After buying food, they sit next to each other and look Richi chewed her snack.

Hugo closed his face. "Why not just premiere, anyway?" Ask Richie. Because the seats in the regular are separated to make it difficult for him to interact with Richi.

The girl only shook her head, but the movie had not started yet but her eyes were already focused on the big screen in front of her.

"Chi.." whispered Hugo.

"Hm." answered without looking.

"Call me baby again."

"Why?"

"Is there a reason for that?" Hugo's face began to bend.

"Focus, Hugo. The movie has started." Richi's whisper and the lights in the studio start to go out.

Hugo sat leaning back, disappointed because Richi did not want to call him affection.

Hugo then smiled mischievously, he had ordered a very romantic film. So that his lover knows how to date well and correctly.

A few minutes they focused, then as a friendly scene began to appear, Hugo developed his smile.

He immediately turned his face to Richi when the kiss scene was plastered on the screen.

"Chi.."

Hugo looked up, he saw Richi asleep in his chair.

He sighed in annoyance, it could be that the girl was even asleep at the moment of the important scene.

"Chi.." whispered Hugo, but Richi did not budge. He immediately sat back in his chair, irritated that his girlfriend was asleep.

Meanwhile, Richi, smiled when he heard Hugo's breathing that seemed disappointed.

He opened his eyes and continued his spectacle.
