The Genius Child That's Me

Play Chess

The party wasn't over yet, but Kalisa and Rio were already on their way home. The man drove Kalisa to his house and even stopped by first. Rio wanted to be close to Kalisa family first before deciding to propose to this woman he liked, Rio was looking for an excuse so that he could stop by.

"Grandfather..," said Kalisa.

"Eh, are you home? There's Rio too. Sit here..!" Husen.

It turned out that Husen was playing chess with his personal driver. They're common, and Kalisa knows that. Even Husen would be at home playing for hours. According to Kalisa it is very boring. But Rio instead sat there and was engrossed in playing chess as well, making Kalisa leave them to shower and change clothes.

"You're great too" praised Husen.

"Grandfather was too complimentary, it was precisely the greater grandfather," Rio replied.

"How's your relationship with my granddaughter?" Ask Husen.

Instantly Rio seemed to get the green light. He smiled happily. "Our relationship is still limited to ex-wife and ex-husband kek, hehe, but, it looks like our relationship will be closer," Rio replied.

"Hmm..., do you still wish on my granddaughter? Didn't you waste it?" Ask Husen.

The deg!

"Emmh, yes, Kek. I regret it all, hoping Kalisa can open the door sorry and willing to open her heart again for me, even though the hope is small, but I will try harder Kek," replied Rio.

"Haha…. Of course, love requires sacrifice" Husen replied with a laugh.

After the quiet atmosphere returned and they returned to playing chess. Rio started to be curious about Kalisa's grandfather's thoughts. "Grandfather, would grandfather approve of our relationship if I refer him back to Grandpa's granddaughter?" Ask Rio.

"Do you want to be approved by Grandpa?" Husen asked, he displayed his mysterious smile.

"Of course Cake," Rio replied quickly.

"That's your passion young man, hahaha.. Defeat first Grandpa, only get blessing!" said Husen.

Because of Husen's words, Rio became enthusiastic. He felt at home for a long time there because he wanted to defeat Grandpa Husen. Almost two hours but it turns out Rio lost instead, he asked for a rematch.

Kalisa who is fresh with a little lipstick polish, pretends to walk past the two men he loves, but they ignore Kalisa.

They're so serious, that I'm invisible, Kalisa's mind.

Three rounds passed and Rio was still losing as well. "You go home, it's night!" Husen.

"But Kek, I haven't won yet" Rio lamented.

"Ish, do you want Grandpa to be sick from staying up late?" Ask Husen.

"Don't, tomorrow Grandpa's not home" replied Husen.

"Then the day after tomorrow, cake? Please let me be even once, I want to be blessed Grandpa," Rio told Husen. He raised both his hands, now his palms were touching each other.

"Aish this boy, yaudah the day after tomorrow. Hurry home, Kalisa must be sleeping too!" Husen.

Rio finally came home with a confused feeling. On the one hand, he likes to get a challenge from Husen, but he is always losing and a little pessimistic about his ability. "I'd better find a good chess teacher" Rio muttered.

***

Two days later, he comes to meet Husen again to challenge chess for the blessing of his relationship with Kalisa. Today Rio walked confidently, he has already been training for two days now. 

"Would you like to come here? Kalisa was still at the diner" asked Husen behind the book he was reading.

"I came looking for Grandpa, let's play chess again Cake, I make sure this time will win, for Kalisa's sake," Rio replied confidently.

Husen closed the book, kept it on the table. He then looked at Rio with a sharp gaze, "are you sure?" Ask Husen.

Rio nodded, he was already very confident once to be able to defeat his Grandfather Kalisa.

Three hours passed, Kalisa had just returned home. There was no welcome for him, he only saw the sight that had upset him.

Is this just my shadow? Why do I see them playing chess together again, isn't that boring? my eyes seem tired, Inner Kalisa.

Kalisa who thought that was his hallucination alone, he walked past them without asking. If it's real anyway they are also silent because the chess game needs high concentration, let it be, Kalisa's mind.

A tired Kalisa went into his room, laid his body on the bed. He's got Fino in the face, he's going to visit Fino for the weekend.

Kalisa who wants to pee, he woke up from his sleep. Stomach protests, Kalisa also out of the room to look for food in the kitchen. How surprised Kalisa who can still see grandfather and Rio still play chess there.

"Is it possible that they play until midnight like this? Ah it seems like this is just my hallucination" Kalisa muttered and passed away.

When Kalisa returned, he heard Rio pleading with his grandfather. Kalisa thought if there was something wrong with her, assuming that if her hallucination was for missing Rio, she did not accept that he was this cute. An annoyed Kalisa, he approached the noisy Rio step by step, now he was right beside Rio.

"Dream Mas Rio go! I don't want to be considered crazy for keeping seeing you here!" 

Byur…

The water that was in Kalisa's classroom landed on Rio's body.
