Love (But)Need Certainty
Carina

"Let's get eaten." said Rizky with a stiff smile.. Obviously Rizky was trying to look friendly and cool but the results were not convincing enough.

Karina nodded with a smile, she saw half the roasted duck so pretty on the plate. Karina is happy and surprised because Rizky turns out not to forget that Karina likes ducks. Although he thinks wrapped to be eaten at home is enough, no need to eat in this beautiful restaurant.

Sipping some water from her glass, Karina looked around. The appearance of visitors in this skyview restaurant is enough to make him feel inferior.

The girls who came with her lover wore beautiful dresses, the older ones wore a little more formal clothes. Karina guessed that it cost more than twenty portions of her lotto. Their beautiful looks make Karina's jerseys, jeans, and cardigans look the wrong place to be.

On the opposite side of his desk Rizky also looks neat with a suit and his shirt is no less neat and dapper than others. Although actually for Rizky it is everyday he always wears such a suit.

A bit of a feeling arose in Karina that maybe she should have asked Rizky to choose another place..

"The sky is clear huh." said Rizky stiffly as he stared at the cloudless clear night sky.

"Oh it, it's so bright.." Karina responded with a tone no less rigid and also looked at the vast sky above her.

The night sky was indeed very bright, this restaurant was on the rooftop of a luxury hotel and did not have a roof on it. So Karina could freely look at the points of starlight on the canvas of the black sky. Not to forget a crescent moon also appeared coloring tonight. The beautiful scenery tonight a little diverts himself from his inferiority that had eroded his confidence.

Karina then looked at the man who was sitting sweetly in front of her, she looked very stressed. He looks sweaty, but usually he is difficult to sweat, with the hassle he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. He also looks unable to sit quietly, several times changing his sitting position and changing his armsticks interspersed with a stiff smile.

Rizky is obviously not used to doing this kind of thing, doing dates and other things. He is good at handling presentations in front of company officials. He is an expert at negotiating with even the most difficult work partnee. But if the problem Rizky women have the same skills as Junior High.. But despite all the awkwardness that Rizky showed, in his heart Karina praised Rizky's courage to do something like this. Karina feels quite flattered by tonight's show.

At first Karina thought this would be a three-part event between her, Romi, and Rizky. Because previously the three of them sometimes with Mom eating out. Sometimes to spend a vacation or just refreshing. Picnic is so Romi said usually when they are recreation. But when Rizky sends whatsapp a message telling her to dress up for the night, Karina immediately gets a hunch and guesses there won't be any Romi tonight.

"Um.. You actually have a boyfriend, don't you?" ask Rizky who can finally make a slightly longer sentence.

Karina shakes.. Rizky already knew the answer clearly but it seemed that he was just trying to open the conversation.

"Oh.." now Rizky was confused again to connect his question.

"Suddenly it's so mas??" Karina suddenly asked.

"Eh, you haven't dated dong."

"Mas too, right??"

And their laughter exploded instantly, two real singles meeting at one table.

The aura of their meeting still felt so stiff. Karina is not used to starting a conversation, but usually if they are in her stall the three of them always gossip menggidul-ngkramama. But yes who used to spark conversation is Romi...

At first glance Karina imagined that in front of her now was not Rizky but Romi. He must have talked about all sorts of things. He must have commented on the food at this restaurant, he certainly commented about the band playing jazz music to entertain visitors. Maybe he'll even take Karina dancing without shame.

Instantly he felt bad..

"It's okay, sir.." Karina smiled.

Karina looked at the figure of Rizky who was now watching the band that was busy music. Maybe it helped her to not get too hung up on talking to Karina. Karina praised in her heart her recklessness to ask a date. Karina did not even feel so awkward being near Rizky because they had met often in stalls for a long time. Yes, he is very rigid in speaking and behaving in front of women. But his lack of experience became an advantage because he was a little more sincere than other more experienced men.

"So.." Rizky asked again.

"So what?" Karina cuts.

"So..is someone as good as you don't have a boyfriend??" Rizky praised but intentionally did not say 'beautiful'. He remembered Romi's advice, do not praise women too much, later it will even look too sombre.

"It's relative.." Karina.

"Absolute relativity" Rizky insisted.

Karina blushed in shame..

The more Rizky tries to praise her who indirectly says 'i like you', P

karina's feelings are getting bad..

He thought about how Romi would feel if he knew about this date. Though this date can be said to have nothing to do with Romi, but Karina does not want to ruin the friendship of the three of them. Karina thinks it's not necessarily Romi jealous or envious or anything. But what if Romi is jealous? he was worried even though he shouldn't be.

Rizky on the other hand was afraid she was praising too much and was afraid Karina was aware of her feelings. Though the purpose of all this is to convey his love to Karina. But there's a bit of a shy side to him that says to be 'Silent and don't mess around'. His brain was all the time picking and sorting out the talk he wanted to say to Karina. But his tongue was more tightly locked. Not to mention the feeling he always wanted to urinate, and for sure it was not because he drank mostly water.

"What do you want later on your birthday.bare a moment, right," Rizky suddenly remembered Karina's birthday next month.

"Oh. she. I forgot next month's birthday, haha," Karina chuckled while covering her mouth in embarrassment.

"Our birthday" Rizky reminded.

"We?" Karina confused..

"And our birthday together," said Rizky cheerfully.

"Yes aampuuun. I also forgot. I'm so sorry mas.." Karina patted her own forehead.

Rizky laughed at Karina's behavior.His heart that had been worried had begun to relax..

It's a perfect night....
