The Young Man One
One or Two

Livia was sitting on the bed, more precisely in front of a cell phone. He waited so long for news from Kelvan after his return from their failed first date. Did the father and son still not solve their problems?

It wasn't the right time if he got into their conversation just like that. Nea also did not say anything in the car and in addition, what problem was Kenzi facing right now until it looked so grim?

Cell phone rings disperse daydreams. Livia finds a phone call from Kelvan, and she picks him up.

"I guess you've been sleeping." Kelvan across there said.

"I'm not going to be able to sleep, because I'm waiting for you to tell me."

"Oh, I didn't mean to ignore you just now. Something just happened and made me subconsciously behave like that. You must be uncomfortable. I'm sorry."

Livia breathed a long breath. "Now I feel much better. By the way, what about Nea?"

"For that I called you."

"Oh, are you going to give me any bad news? To be honest, I'm not quite ready to hear it."

Kelvan laughs. "You sound so nervous. But more important than that—"

"Is there anything more important than Nea's response now?"

"Late next week, can I take you to meet Grandma?"

Livia gaped, her mind turning chaotic. Meeting with grandma meant she had to be prepared to accept the consequences. And again, did Kelvan mean to talk to his grandmother about their relationship?

Isn't that too soon when their relationship is just one day old?!

"A—you want to deliver me?"

"Yes. Is this going to be a problem for you?"

"Ah, that ...."

"You sound like you're not happy if I deliver."

"Bu—not so! I just... feel that it's too soon. A—you must understand by my intention."

Livia brushed her hair with her fingers. He was confused as to how to say it. "As you know, we just expressed our feelings yesterday. If you go see grandma, it'll be a big deal."

"Because your grandmother doesn't like men like me?"

"Ah,"—Livia exhales briefly—"You still remember it. But that's not what I meant."

"Then?"

"Do you intend to propose to me that weekend?"

"Ah, so, you were distracted from thinking about it? I don't think so. You must have understood. I just intend to deliver."

Livia was embarrassed. He's been misjudging. I don't know why he felt a little sad to hear the truth. Kelvan had no intention of proposing to Grandma, should she cry now or be happy?

"What's your answer?"

At the same time, Livia received a message. He put his phone away to see who sent it to him. I don't think it was Kenzi.

"I'll call you later."

Tut!

Livia, who was curious about the contents of the message, immediately read it. He hoped that the grim Kenzi would have no serious problems.

[I finally got good grades! Don't forget your promise to take me for a walk!]

Livia thought for a while before saying, "What?!"

He received another message containing a photo of the value sheet. Kenzi was honest about it. Just this time he felt burdened when he saw the good grades of his protege, because it means he has to take Kenzi next weekend to grandma's place.

The problem here was how would he face Kelvan who also wanted something similar? He couldn't possibly just bring Kenzi along, because Kelvan would only feel betrayed.
