Love (But)Need Certainty
Risk II

Romi sat on the floor of the ceramic boarding house, looking at him repeatedly rubbing his beardless chin. Several times he ruffled his hair with a hint of annoyance and regret.

how can I accept it. but I need. ouch. he lamented while his eyes remain fixed on the book The Fellowship of The Ring on his desk...

Last time the other day after a strange date went awkwardly. Sofia decides to lend the book to Romi. After earlier Rizky who leaked that Romi lost the same book that Sofia brought.

By getting the book it can be said Romi dating is profitable. But on the other hand Romi's efforts to match Sofia and Rizky also run a mess. Because all the time Sofia was just talking to Romi. While Rizky was left just like a mosquito repellent in the corner of the room. And finally Rizky just read a mystical magazine while waiting for the dating process both completed.

Romi himself did not really care whether he managed to take Sofia's heart or not, in his brain only the book that became his concern. And Romi tried as much as possible to get it even though he had to accompany Sofia ngalor ngidul about this.

But if it is now rethought, it is like a weapon of eating master. Romi borrowed the book, meaning Romi had to return the book again. And in other words Sofia had a reason to meet him again.

It was not that Sofia was ugly, she was extremely beautiful even to the standards of a Romi who had gone through a lot of time with many women. Sofia is also no less smart to talk and can be interesting to be friends discuss. And do not forget if it brings the material side, then Sofia is not short of a penny.

It's just that one of the things that stuck in Romi's mind was. First, he had no intention of getting close to Sofia.. During this time Romi never origin approached women on the grounds of mumpung aji. Beautiful and perfect are not always the main criteria for someone to like someone else. And if from the beginning we do not put our heart and intention, it will be difficult to force ourselves next.

Then the second is Sofia's self that can be said hyperbole his existence he felt too 'great' for him to approach. With all the top-level worldliness attached to Sofia, it made her look so far away. Feels like it can not be achieved, even if it can be achieved then Romi does not understand what he must do next.

It might be said that Romi felt a little inferior..

Ah think about it again later, said Romi inwardly gave up on his confusion.

It didn't take long after Romi was in an oriental food restaurant with Tania. Romi hasn't seen this girl for a long time.

"Hmm why?" ask Romi with his special smile. Tania seemed to notice Romi's face for quite some time.

"It's okay." replied Tania half-heartedly.

"Why hayo?" romi asked again seductively and curiously at the same time.

"Hm.. curious aja.kok you are difficult to contact yesterday-yesterday.many street teams besides me," Tania said a little accusing but in a joking tone.

If Tania could see into Romi's brain she would see Romi's figure in a mess wiping a groggy sweat on his forehead.

Of course it's not you I'm walking with......

"Busy is the same, it's usual that I'm busy anymore" replied Romi lithely in a joking tone.

Tania laughed a little at Romi's behavior.

"Yes.I was a little scared like my ex yesterday. suddenly disappeared and asked to break up.." Tania said again now her tone was a little serious.

"Oh..." Romi was a little confused to respond because officially he is not or has not been Tania's boyfriend.. Obviously this is a code to ask Romi for reassurance.May expect Romi to declare love and make their relationship clear its status.

"Wah kwetiau," said Romi excited when his order came. Of course the enthusiasm for food is just a distraction from Tania's talk.

"Makasi," Tania said after receiving her order fried rice. He was still not satisfied with Romi's reaction, he hoped for more..

"You like kwetiauw?" ask Tania.

"Definitely," said Romi then devoured back one mouthful of fried kwetiauw.

"I like to cook for my ex. I'm also good at cooking noodles so. kwetiauw can also," said Tania again fishing.

"Outhor!" Romi chokes suddenly the kwetiauw troupe in his throat. "Surely your girlfriend will be very lucky" added Romi then took a glass of water.

Tania glanced at the man who was busy drinking a glass of water across from her desk. In his eyes, the man looked good, a special listener, and he was also handsome. On the other hand, this person is a bit difficult to contact, but once can be contacted the conversation will feel fluid and smooth. Tania prefers men like this, not too possessive.

Meanwhile across from Tania, Romi began to feel a little mentally stiffened. If he was pressed to have to 'shoot' Tania, things would feel more troublesome later.

"I have to go back for a while" Romi said, asking permission to go to the restroom. He actually felt his stomach a little heartburn. Either because of groggy or because kwetiauw spicy. What is clear is that the time to go to the bathroom can be very beneficial for him.

Tania smiled and Romi got out of her seat and went to the bathroom.

Unbeknownst to Romi, when he went to the restroom a woman entered the restaurant. Without further ado he sat down in the chair where Romi had been sitting. Tania was stunned when she saw the girl sitting confidently before her. He did not even have time to say that the chair was occupied. The girl smiled kindly, but from that smile Tania could feel something she was about to spill from her mouth.

Romi sat in the closet breathing deeply. This kind of pressure he was always unusual to face. Maybe it is time he got a time like this after repeatedly spreading hope here and there. Romi also understands this kind of risk and he should be ready, and usually he can deal with it quite well. Somehow he is a bit stiff today.maybe because of his food.maybe because of the weather..

Romi took another deep breath before exiting the restroom. He opened the bathroom plastic door and walked back to his desk.

Romi will continue his talk as usual and act as normal as possible. He would take her to the movies if necessary to distract her. Or just looking for the wind to walk.

Romi arrived at his desk again and found a view that he rarely found. It's even the first time you've met....

Tania's not in her place.......

Bag, Handphone.. There was no sign Tania was still in the restaurant.

Romi was sure this was the table he had occupied, the order on the table was still exactly the same as before. He glanced around who knew Tania was somewhere else. But there were no apparitions of the girl he had been dating..

Romi runs out of ideas about where Tania is. This is the first time he lost his date instantly like this...

Romi just sat with agonizing confusion.There is fear and worry.there is a sense of annoyance.all mixed up until Romi can not determine what he is feeling..
