The Conqueror Who Conquered

Hugo's Birthday

Hugo glanced at the clock on his phone.2 minutes to 00 for his birthday. He tries to think again, it could be that Richi deliberately made a surprise for him and pretended there was an appointment with someone else.

"Yes, it could be like that." He muttered then smiled to himself staring at the phone that would soon explode due to the many notifications.

Usually Hugo would turn off his phone so as not to disturb his sleep. But this time, he deliberately stayed up late to expect a message from Richi.

TING!

The first message came in, Hugo quickly saw the message. He's lethargic because it's not from Richi but Camilla. Before long, notifications kept popping up and many incoming messages congratulated him that he didn't even open.

Hugo only saw a row of numbers and names that continued to roll while the name he was looking for did not appear.

"Where is he. Do you really prank me, or don't know at all?" He muttered when he realized that none of Richi's messages came in.

At 1 o'clock, Hugo had his body in bed. "He doesn't remember or prank me, yeah." He murmured again, closing his eyes.

"Happy birthday, Hugo.." a group of students greeted Hugo in front of the basketball court. The large writing rolled off the top of the tile, inscribed safe for Hugo as well as trumpets and others that made the field crowded.

The children who were upstairs were no less exciting, joined the clapping watching down.

Hugo welcomes him even though his eyes look for the figure of Richi among them.

"Yes, thank you.." He said while receiving various gifts from those people.

Meanwhile Rich...

Simon opens the car door when he sees Richi running out of the house.

"No chance!" He shouted as he passed Simon and then headed for his bike.

Richi turned it on in a hurry. "Why am I late!" He said then drove the motor at high speed.

Arriving at school, Richi runs straight to her class. Fortunately, there is still a 1-minute delay.

Richi walks into the classroom and sits down, opening the hoodie that had been shut in his head. He managed to catch his breath, before long his teacher entered and started the lesson.

Richi stretched his body for a moment upon hearing the bells break. Then someone came in and put a cardboard bag in front of the girl.

"Hey, what is this?" Richi asked the man who delivered the bag.

"Gift from Mr. Harry Draw." He said and then left.

"What's? Harry from Palmy's school?" Pekik Greta who immediately walked to Richi's desk in the back.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Come, Greta. I don't know either. There, move!" Richi muttered that was very lazy to discuss anything at this time.

"Well, Richi. You're great too, yeah. Wasn't Harry famous and unwilling to date? Know-how sent you a gift. I'm envious, you know." Nelly and the other friends nodded in agreement.

Richi immediately keeps the gift in his locker so his friends stop noisy.

He came out to get some fresh air and wanted to see Bella.

Richi yawned from feeling drowsiness, then his wide-open mouth came to a halt as he read the large inscription on the tile across from his class.

"Happy Birthday, Hugo?" He muttered while trying to digest those words.

A group of schoolgirls come past Richi to Hugo's class. They just entered with an ear-splitting scream near them, shouting congratulations to Hugo.

Richi rounded his eyes. "Hugo's birthday??"

He immediately closed his gaping mouth. "Surely he'll take me to dinner. Dumb, stupid, stupid, stupid!" The pekik berated himself.

"Haah, how's this..!" He muttered then saw the people who were still crowding in front of Hugo's class.

Richi goes straight to his locker and opens what package Harry sent.

He looked up when he saw the contents of the box which turned out to be a black dress.

'Watch up tonight, I'm waiting for you'

The writing on the paper he crumbled, "for this, huh. It can't be undone if you've already sent this outfit!" He muttered and left the classroom, saying something to Hugo.

Looking at the crowd, it felt like it would not be able to talk to him.

Richi pulls out his phone and sends a message. 'Hugo, can you come out for a second? There's something I want to say.'

A few minutes of waiting, no reply. Richi called Hugo, also not appointed.

"Well, Hugo. I feel guilty for you." He muttered again, imagining Hugo's face last night.

Richi remembers someone who could be asked for help.

"Bel, are you in class?" Ask Richi over the phone.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Please tell Hugo slowly, if I'm waiting for him in the back garden of the school. Now!" He said, then Richi went straight to the back of the school.

Richi waited, sitting on a long bench. A few minutes passed, Hugo didn't come.

"Is he really mad at me?" Mumbled again.

Until the bell came in, Hugo really didn't see him.

Richi sighed, realizing his great mistake. He was wrong, how could he say dear to Hugo while the importance of the day alone he did not know. Drowning, the girl moved on and entered her class.

"Chi.."

Hugo managed to call her after school.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't get out earlier." Speak with a limp tone.

Richi sat on the edge of his bed. "It's okay. Hugo, I'll see you when my business is done tonight. Hows it? We're dinner like you said last night, huh?"

"really? Alright. I'll come get you. How are we going to the thousand-ladder restaurant?" Hugo asked happily.

"Yes, I'll be there. You don't have to pick me up. I'll try to finish quickly." Said Richi with a big smile.

"Is your business really that important?" Ask Hugo again.

"Actually, I'm going to dinner with Harry." Answer with doubt.

"I'm sorry, Hugo. I promise I'll come. We're just having dinner and it won't be long."

"alright. I'm waiting for you."

...🥂...

Richi heads to an apartment where Harry's address is to pick up. He waited in the lobby and before long, Harry came to pick him up.

Harry smiled at the dress-clad Richi he had chosen.

"You're so pretty" she said to Richi in a black sepaha dress, shorter than her school skirt. The shoulder is open, Richi wears high heels that are not so high.

They're headed to the place Harry ordered. It was the top floor of the tallest building.

Harry is sweet, he pulls Richi's chair and lets the girl sit down.

Richi was amazed, the view next to him was very beautiful even though he began to fear the height.

"You like it?"

Richie nodded quickly. He didn't lie and really liked the scenery underneath.

Many flowers around him like they have been arranged and arranged as best as possible.

"You're wondering, why can I book this place?" Said Harry who saw Richi's confusion.

"I know, it's a hotel. I just rented the top floor for you." Harry smiled until his eyes narrowed.

"Harry, I feel bad, you bought me a dress and a nice dinner." Richi.

"I can give you anything you want".

"A, Harry. I'm moved. Thank you very much, yes."

Harry held onto Richi's hand. "Thank God you like it." Her words happily looked at Richi in front of her.

After eating, Harry invited him to move to one corner of the room that featured a wider view. There was already provided a long sofa, and Harry invited him to sit there.

Richi tried to be relaxed even though his eyes glanced at the clock many times.

The waiter came with 2 empty glasses and a bottle of wine.

The waiter pours it in Richi's glass as well as Harry's.

"Come, toast." He said as he raised the glass and Richi welcomed him.

Harry sipped in his glass. His face changed withstanding the heavy taste in the wine.

He poured it again.

"You got a problem?" Ask Richie carefully.

Harry chuckles. "No, I just love wine".

He had already finished 2 glasses and his eyes started to look soft.

Richi complains, he is eager to run away and meet Hugo, but he does not know the right way to separate so as not to hurt Harry.

"Chi.."

Harry's voice began to heavy, he looked at Richi fixedly.

"You are that, so beautiful." He muttered with a pushy look. His body began to lose balance.

"Harry, you're drunk. Let me help you stand up and let's just go home."

"No, no, no. I'd like to spend the night with you alone." he rattled and sipped his drink again.

Richi breathed a long breath. He really can't escape.

"My days are hard." Harry said again, now he's really drunk.

Richi tilted her body and looked at Harry next to her.

"Why? Is there something?" Tanya Richi started digging up information.

"Hm. Yes. I'm the best mission maker." he said, patting his chest.

"Mission? What'sthat?"

Harry shook his head. "No, no, no. It's a secret mission. But, I can do it. Just a little more.... Bussh! Crushed. Haha." Harry laughed loudly, then looked at Richi.

"My weight is a little light.. Since I know you." It was with eyes that were almost closed.

Richi confirmed the position of Harry's glasses that almost fell. "We're home."

Harry shook his head like a child. "Tidaaak up. I told you, I want to be with you. You're making me comfortable, Richi.." Harry fainted. He dropped his head on Richi's shoulder.

"Big mission, hm? It's true you're the chairman." Richi muttered to Harry who was unconscious.

The sound of high heels approaching, Richi turned his head and found a beautiful woman standing behind their chair.

"Excuse me, I'm Mr. Harry's personal assistant. Can I have him back?"

Richi turns a blind eye, the girl. Isn't she the one who stole the bag and met Hugo on the first date?

Richie threw his face away. 'Ah, fuck. What if he knows me?' Mumbled.

"Please." said Richi without looking at him.

Shera walks in front of Richi and begins to pick up Harry.

"Thank you for accompanying my master. Excuse me." He smiled and took Harry.

"Wait, do I know you?" Richi asks who is curious why the girl is used to him.

"really?" Shera looked at Richi's face. "I don't know, do you know me?"

Richi immediately shook his head. "No, sorry. I may have wrong people."

Shera smiled then brought Harry who started to fumble again.

"Ah, Shit..Hugo!" he said and ran when he saw the clock was 11 p.m.
