The Conqueror Who Conquered

The Best Thing Ever

The rain died down. Water droplets in the leaves that fell down were accommodated into the umbrella that had been lying resigned.

Not far from it, Richi and Hugo were sitting quietly with each other, pervading what had just happened between them.

Hugo lowered his head with his two hands clutched together. He looks embarrassed and sorry.

"Sorry.." Watered down without seeing Richi who has been bored because of it.

Richi did not reply, she bit her reddened lips. He also cursed himself who was swept away with Hugo's kiss on him.

"Sorry to kiss you. I guess. that's a delusion.." Speak with stammering.

Richi did not reply, his brain was thinking what did Hugo mean that he fantasized about himself and kissed him? Did he...

Hugo ventured to see Richi beside him.

"Chi.."

"Hm.." Richi turned to look at the handsome Hugo with his wet hair.

"I'm in love with you.."

DEG!

Richi was frozen in place, without Hugo's cue saying it was right in front of his face. His heart was so tight that his fingers trembled at the words coming out of Hugo's mouth.

Hugo lowered his head again, "I can't help myself, my feelings never calm down because of this. I couldn't sleep well and was restless. And I realized, it's not just a feeling of liking. More than that." I'm Hugo on Richi with a very gentle and careful tone.

Richi did not budge, his blood rippled back all over his body. He did not even blink looking at Hugo's face beside him.

"I-i'm.."

"I know you're dating Emerald." He said and smiled bitterly.

"I also know you hate me to the point that you cut your hair. I. I'm just saying this so my heart feels calmer." Hugo raised his head and found that Richi who was looking at him fixedly, he returned Richi's gaze with sadness because he realized, his feelings were not avenged.

"I can't focus well, my mind is always on you." Hugo looked down again. "I like you so much that it's like that.."

Hugo took a breath, trying to regulate the vibration of his heart that he could not bear while waiting, Richi did not make a sound.

"Sorry to make you troubled. I hope you don't hate me anymore". He said with a somber face.

Hugo stood up, he turned to look at Richi who had only been silent since. "If you feel that my words are a burden, consider them only my hallucinations. Forget it, just think of it as the wind.."

Richi grabbed the hand of Hugo who was about to leave, he grasped the fingers by venturing because Hugo had also emboldened himself.

"You won't listen to me first?"

Hugo came to a halt, looking at the cold hand that was tightly grasping his fingers.

"I feel the same way as you."

"What-What.."

Richi looked up, looking at Hugo who was standing in front of him. "Look, I'm not dating Emerald. He did shoot me but I didn't accept it because my feelings weren't for him, so..." Hugo pulls Richi's arm until the girl stands up and hugs her. Hugo let out a big laugh, putting his face up in the sky.

"Haha, thank God, I'm very happy to hear it" she said, insisting on Richi in her arms.

"Hugo" Richi lets go of his embrace. "I haven't accepted you yet.."

"What's? Why?"

"I can't date a man who has a lot of mistresses." Richi's face turned upset.

"Storegirl?"

"You even stole my first kiss!"

"Hey, that was my first kiss!" Duke Hugo.

"That's right.." Richi said in a mocking tone.

"I never kissed those girls! They are the ones who are the ones who.."

Richi raised both eyebrows. "Oh, I see."

Hugo bowed languidly. He realized his mistake was always changing partners.

"So you don't want to be my girlfriend?"

"Of course not, you're even very experienced in kissing. It makes me suspicious."

"What!" Richi's snap at Hugo makes her very embarrassed.

"Obviously, you even close your eyes". Hugo again.

Richi looked at Hugo furiously, mocked like that was a great embarrassment to him. "I don't want to go out with you!" Screeched again.

Hugo instead smiled happily and pulled Richi in his arms again. "I don't care, you're mine now. Ah.. It felt like my entire burden was collapsing instantly." He said as he placed his cheek on the top of the girl's head.

"I've suffered so much, don't make me tormented again, hmm." He said and gently kissed the top of Richi's head.

Richi smiles brightly in Hugo's embrace, he didn't expect tonight was the night of a confession of love from both of them.

"Hugo, off." It's when Hugo restrains Richi's moving body.

"Wait a minute." he muttered as he continued to tighten his circle of hands on Richi's shoulders.

"Detach, Hugo. We'd better go home. You'll get sick with your wet shirt." Said Richi looking for an excuse for Hugo to take off his embrace.

Hugo did not take it off.

"Oh yeah, Hugo, don't tell anyone about this.."

Hugo quickly took off his embrace. "What! Why?"

"Later to tell you. The point is, don't tell anyone and behave as usual. Okay?"

Hugo nodded slowly. "Baiklaaah, but I'm curious about something."

Richi raises his eyebrows, "what?"

"When did you like me? How long has it been? Did you first like me? Or maybe since first grade?"

Hearing that, Richi smiled cynically. "I like you from first grade?? I didn't care about you from the start seeing your face wandering around school. I'm even very fond of you." Richi said full of emphasis and made Hugo's face again moody.

"I liked you for a long time." Mumbled.

"Oh yeah? Since when?" Tanya Richi enthusiastically.

"Since the first time you played basketball with me. The smell of your hair keeps tormenting my nose. Even when I danced with you that night, I couldn't smell anything other than your perfume!"

Richi rounded his eyes. "So you know it's me?"

"Of course, isn't it very clear? Moreover, the fragrance of your hair that. aarhh". Hugo groaned because Richi punched him in the stomach. "W-what the..."

"Damn it, you're pretending you don't know, yeah!" It is telling to remember when Hugo did not know him and considered him someone else.

"I-I was so, so that you would dance with me!" He looked down while his hand held his stomach and another held Richi's hand. "Sa-sickness, Chi.."

"You're this, really torturing me. You don't know how much I am. ah!" He sat down again and Hugo was next to him.

"I'm sorry, yeah. I've made you suffer a lot." Hugo grabbed Richi's hand and grabbed it. "Don't ignore me like yesterday, it's really torturing me.." He muttered softly, gently stroking the girl's hand.

"Depends on how you act to me".

"Ready! I will be a good man, not caring about any other woman besides my lover, Richi. I'll also take good care of my heart to keep Richi there!" The strict military style and managed to make Richi laugh off.

"All right, I'm going home first". Richi moved, taking her umbrella that was filled with water.

He gasps as Hugo puts his wet teak on Richi's shoulder.

"Sorry it's made you cold. I'll take you home."

Richi smiles brightly with Hugo's sweet treatment. "Aren't you cold?" Ask because Hugo now only wears a thin white shirt on his body.

Hugo shook his head. "Absolutely not."

"You don't need to drive, I'll take a taxi. You go home too." Richi said then waved to the side of the road and immediately got the taxi.

Hugo jumped up in excitement right then and there, he continued to smile. And ran towards his house because now the heavy burden that befell him had completely disappeared.

Richie kept smiling in the taxi. He could not help but laugh at all the things that had just happened.

He clasped Hugo's red cloak tightly, smelling the remaining fragrance of the perfume that Hugo used to wear.

"The best thing ever." whispered without stopping smiling.
