Benjamin Leandro fell into the quietus of his next words as well as sentences.
"I've been studying at this school since my childhood. I've also been going to my private tuitions since I was eight years old. I've also been joining some language-clubs in this school since three years ago. So, to tell you the truth… I've met many and many people; I've met many boys and many men. Until now, I can conclude there's no any other man who can understand me better than my Tet Tet Sweetheart can."
"Are you sure he loves you sincerely and purely, not because he merely wants to enjoy your body, wants to grab away your purity as well as originality? After he's got and has taken away your virginity, he'll throw you away like rubbish… It's been a public secret that Tetsuo Yamaha is a man with his high manhood desire… Haven't you ever heard about that?"
"Based on what I've read and listened for all these times. There's lust inside love, but there's no love inside lust. Were he to have merely his lust towards me, he'd have taken away my originality earlier. Why should he have been waiting so long just to grab away my virginity, just to enjoy my body, Benjamin? Honestly, your question just now is absolutely irrelevant."
Benjamin Leandro had been seen clenching his fists at this moment.
"So, how about me? Don't you have even merely a drop of similar feeling towards me?" asked Benjamin Leandro disappointedly and slightly angrily.
"Sorry, Benjamin… Since I was ten years old, I've already told you that I don't get the similar feeling towards you…" Cecilia Belinda was seen taking some precautions for the unwanted incidents to happen. She was seen taking two steps backwards.
"You've seen what I've been doing to show my sincerity and my feeling towards you all these several years. You don't even feel merely a drop of the similar feeling towards me, do you?"
"Thanks… Thanks very much for all your sincerity, care, as well as affection for me for all these several years. Yet, to tell you the truth and not wanting to give you any false hopes, until now I still reckon you as my best friend, my best brother. Only until there, Benjamin. I can't be more than that. Sorry… Really and really sorry…"
"Why…? Why…? What am I short of so that you can choose that Tetsuo Yamaha and ignore all my sincerity and feeling all these times? Is it because I'm less rich? Is it because I'm less wealthy compared to that Tetsuo Yamaha? Is it the wealth which becomes the standard?"
Cecilia Belinda kept silent for a little while. She was trying to control her anger as well as furiousness which was going to explode out of her veins.
"Just because of wealth… I see… I've got it… So, all girls are the same…" Benjamin Leandro was heard bursting out in his queerly cynical laughter.
"Be careful of your words, Benjamin… To tell you the truth, and not meaning to be a snob, Andika Zaenal Nadapdap also ever expressed his feeling to me. He's moved out of this school. He's stayed in Jakarta right now. But, I'm sure you know who Andika Zaenal Nadapdap is, don't you?"
Benjamin Leandro was a bit surprised. He turned to Cecilia Belinda with his somewhat gawking eyes.
"Andika Zaenal Nadapdap? His father was one of the highest city officers in the last period, wasn't he?"
"Yes, he surely was… You know what I replied to him when he expressed his feeling to me?"
Benjamin Leandro was merely staring at Cecilia Belinda with his eyesight which was difficult to interpret.
"I told him I've already got my own sweetheart and his position right in my heart is really irreplaceable and unchangeable. I also told him that the matter about feeling is something which can't be forced or urged. Andika Zaenal could understand what I told him and he never disturbed me again since that time."
Benjamin Leandro threw away his face and his eyesight. Anger, embarrassment, disappointment as well as a bit sadness mixed one another underneath the quagmire of his mind, feeling as well as perception.
"Now, I do also hope that you can understand what I've just said, Benjamin. Again… Sorry and really sorry… I don't have the similar feeling towards you. About how you'll judge me later on, that's your own right. I can't control your mind and your opinion about me either."
"You aren't touched at all after all I've been doing and sacrificing for you in these several years, Cecilia. Your heart is immensely icy, stony and untouchable." Tears of anger as well as disappointment had been rolling down from Benjamin Leandro's pair of eyes.
Sighing in her long breath, Cecilia Belinda walked away and said,
"It's been nearly half past five already… I'm off first, Benjamin… Hope that you'll find your own happiness soon…"
Not long had Cecilia Belinda walked away from him, subsequently Benjamin Leandro muttered again,
"You'll regret this, Cecilia… You'll regret abandoning me and choosing that shit Tetsuo Yamaha! Once he's grabbed away your purity and originality, he'll throw you away like rubbish! You'll regret extraordinarily deeply at that time," hissed Benjamin Leandro with his intensely rattling teeth.
"What did you say?" Suddenly, Tetsuo Yamaha's angry and furious voice tune was audible inside that school auditorium.
Tetsuo Yamaha was seen walking immensely quickly towards Benjamin Leandro when he was held by his Ceci Darling from his back.
"Just let him be, Tet Tet Sweetheart… I don't want to get any more problems in this school… Problems from that Melinda Ofelia Guzman have been more than enough for me…" whispered Cecilia Belinda really softly.
"I want to teach some lessons to that shit mouth of his, Ceci Darling! So that, he can know bit manners about not to interfere in someone else's business… So that he can know not to spread some catty remarks about me behind my back, just to lure you to leave me and go to him…"
"That will never happen, Tet Tet Sweetheart… It's absolutely impossible… You know how meaningful your existence to me is, don't you?"
Cecilia Belinda turned round her body. She was now standing in front of her Tet Tet Sweetheart. Her hand had already been lifted up to caress her Tet Tet Sweetheart's perfect, gorgeous, handsome face. That soon quelled the rage, wrath, fury and anger right underneath Tetsuo's quagmire of mind, feeling and perception like flames which had just been flushed with icy water.
"Oh, Ceci Darling… You always know how to calm me down…" Tetsuo Yamaha was also seen caressing his Ceci Darling's hand and sticking that hand on his face.
"Let him say anything he wants… We can solely prove to him that all he says is rubbish… Shall we…?" Cecilia Belinda was seen smiling gently and soothingly.
As though he'd been showered by his Ceci Darling's love spells, Tetsuo Yamaha simply nodded his head quickly and vigorously. Subsequently, he turned to Benjamin Leandro,
"This is because of my Ceci Darling that I let you go as easily as this. Next time, make sure you don't spread some catty remarks about our relationship again. Or else, I'll really do something which you can't forget for the rest of your life. Should you not believe me, you can simply test me," mumbled Tetsuo Yamaha with his somewhat annoyed as well as irritated fashion.
"Okay, Tet Tet Sweetheart… Let's go home… It's been very late in the afternoon… I'm also terribly hungry already…" Cecilia Belinda was seen pulling her Tet Tet Sweetheart's hand.
"Okay… Okay, Ceci Darling… Let's go home… I'll feed you very tasty and delicious dinner…" Tetsuo Yamaha was seen going out from the school auditorium, following his Dear Ceci.
You won't be together with Cecilia, Tetsuo Yamaha… I'll have her first… It's me who can touch and enjoy her body, enjoy her originality first… Then, having no other better choices, she'll automatically come to me…
Benjamin Leandro's vicious as well as cunning monolog was audible from the ocean of his mind, thought as well as consideration.
"Going home right now, Uncle Jon…" said Tetsuo Yamaha to his chauffeur once he and his Ceci Darling had sat down on the back seat of his car.
"Yes, Sir…" replied Uncle Jon courteously, starting to apply the accelerator of the car.
Once the car had been driven away, Tetsuo Yamaha pressed a blue button right on the door beside him. A kind of screen partition rose up in front of him, separating his chauffeur in front with his Ceci Darling and him at the back seat.
Cecilia Belinda was paying her attention at the scenery outside the car when suddenly she was dragged into her Tet Tet Sweetheart's warm, precious and cozy embrace.
"What is it, Tet Tet Sweetheart?" asked Cecilia Belinda a bit curiously.
"I bought these on the way from the office a moment before…" Tetsuo Yamaha took out a couple of silver bracelets from the pocket of his coat.
"What are these? Are these for me?" Cecilia Belinda stared at those bracelets with her beaming eyes.
"When these bracelets are quite close to each other, within 10-meter distance, the rainbow lights inside them can sparkle. Like what you see at this moment…"
"Oh, they're lovely… Could you please help me wear it, Tet Tet Sweetheart?" said Cecilia Belinda enthusiastically and vigorously.
