I think if young Ryanti was to look at his future self, he would be rather shocked and dumbfounded that what he was obsessed with as a hobby to escape his reality has turned into what his career composes of now. I think he would be surprised that his career path has deviated a tad from his father's footsteps. He would not be able to believe that he has crawled out of his shell and unbecome the sheltered, naive privileged little child he once was.
Young Ryanti would also be a bit angry at his future self for beginning to lose sight of what young Ryanti values. Young Ryanti, being obsessed with protecting his family's reputation and interested in diving his hands into the wealthy community, would be sutprised to the point of being confused that most people he values now aren't in that crowd at all. He would probably chastize his future self for loosening up and becoming more laid back because young Ryanti is still haunted by the fear of losing the only identity he feels like he has because of being a halfing and that is his family's last name.
But beyond all that, Ryanti would just want to know if life is better in the future. And despite all of the backbreaking work that went into building a future for him, the Ryanti in the present would be able to tell young Ryanti that his life is more fufilling now.
