Love (But)Need Certainty
The Solid Schedule

Romi laid his body on a foam mattress that was too soft to sleep on. He breathed deeply while stretching his achy back muscles from standing all day. It feels good to lie relaxed like this, if you can all day like this Romi will feel to be the happiest person in all of Indonesia.

While still lying down to rest, Romi reached into the right pocket of his trousers took his smartphone. And it turned out that as he had expected earlier, there were five whatsapp messages that were illegible from just one person. Tania's..

don't forget it

the - hour 6

I loved the ice cream

- home yet?

- don't forget!? ;)

Romi smiled to himself reading those messages. He glanced at the wall clock near the entrance of his room.

it was five o'clock.

there's still plenty of time.

He picked up his towel which had been stored since this morning as he left to work in the corner of the bed without it.

Romi took a shower and got ready, he took the time to look at his 30-year-old face in the mirror of his computer desk..

"Hmmm." he muttered to himself as he touched his beard and whiskers which appeared thin because it had been a few days unshaved. He decided not to shave it back. Not too influential, he thought.

Anyone who sees him today as a 30-year-old bachelor Romi is not at all ugly. His body is tall but neither athletic nor thin, it is ordinary. His appearance is not so well-groomed like a dapper man, but just neat. With the appearance of 'as if' is not difficult for him to be close to women. But because of one and two things he has not yet determined his soul mate. One and two things that he did not even understand.

Thirty minutes later he was on his favorite motorcycle. The twilight wind hit his face that was not covered by the glass of his helmet. Sometimes he yawns wide while closed his left hand. No, he was not at all excited towards Tania's house. But the afternoon breeze can always make him feel sleepy even though he has had a bath before.

Fifteen minutes later Romi was in front of a house near the railway tracks. Romi again reached for the smartphone in his pocket.

- I'm in front of Romi sending WhatsApp messages

Tania simply replied with an emoji winking. Romi thinks it means he will be out soon so he waits casually. It must be relaxed, because Romi knows very well a woman can be a long time to get ready before going out on a date.

While waiting, he read various news and gossip from the internet, but he only had ten minutes to read because Tania soon appeared from his door.

"Hi!" greet Tania with spirit.

Romi waved his hand in reply while smiling widely. Of course Romi smiled broadly because Tania looked beautiful with a long dress and pink cardigan wrapped around her.

Tania looked astonished at Romi who was smiling widely.

"why?" tanya Tania was curious.

"beautiful," Romi answered briefly greeted Tania's red cheeks blushing in embarrassment and delight.

"don't be flirtatious, come on." take Tania while directly sitting in Romi's bonnet.

The two of them then darted as slowly as possible to the ice cream shop which he said was the best in the city. Along the way Tania hugged Romi's waist tightly. They were not lovers for now, but clearly Romi did not reject Tania like that.

Several kilometers apart and several hundred meters of traffic jams then the two of them were already sitting with their heads facing each other. The shop was painted in the dominant colors of pink and white, spiked with pictures of various types of ice cream around the walls.

"how are you doing today?" Romi opened the conversation.

"my limit is still rested," Tania said with a frowning face.

"why?" ask Romi again.

"wah.. bothered.. tired?"

Tania nodded

"yes how else, but you must be strong," Romi cheered.

"if I eat ice cream I'll be strong later,"

"haha!"

And just then the sundae and brown ice cream waffles landed on their desks.

While devouring Eskrim, which Romi said was too sweet, Tania told him various things. From the rumors of his hot-tempered boss cheating, to how he suffered because since breaking up from his girlfriend two months ago he still can not be a boy anymore. Romi listened faithfully and commented once or twice. Tania seemed happy that someone would listen to her chattering.

An hour and a half later, the two of them were already in front of Tania's courtyard again.

"when do we play again??" Tanya Tania was enthusiastic.

"whatsapp only, there will be my number" Romi replied with a friendly smile.

"if you're busy?"

"just find some time,"

"nothin?"

"he,"

And with a kind of greeting that was too long Romi finally left Tania who blushed in front of his house. Romi saw the clock on his phone, 20:30.

still have time.he said in his heart.

Romi did not expect that he could date Tania. He had known her for less than a week. A week ago she first saw Tania in the back of a supermarket with some of her friends while she was eating chicken noodles. Romi then looked at the uniform he was wearing and guessed he was one of the supermarket employees. Her sweet face successfully pinched Romi's curiosity. At that time there was a promotional leaflet from the supermarket. Romi took the leaflet, then approached Tania. Romi pretends to ask if he can buy wholesale because his brother will hold a celebration (which is also a lie). Tania then advised Romi to go to the information section only into the store, but Romi who reasoned was in a hurry (while pretending to look at the clock) asked Tania's number only to be quick. And succeed..

The rest happened just as it just happened..

Romi was endowed with the courage to speak directly to the opposite sex without hesitation. And he uses his strengths to the maximum.

Romi arrives at his boarding house, and then returns to shower and changes his clothes.

21.30

Romi went back out of his boarding house and sat for a while on his bike. Romi again took his phone, now he has to send whatsapp messages.

I'm leaving now.at 10 o'clock the movie.I'm waiting in the lobby.

Romi waited a while...

- okay, see you later (four-piece smile emoticons)-

Romi smiled for the umpteenth time today. His schedule was a little congested today, but he did not feel tired. In fact, he felt more excited and happy, but tomorrow morning he had to go to work again.

Without waiting for Romi to ride his motorcycle. It's not too late to see the new Star Wars IX movie.

Moreover, he did not want to be late to meet Asteria..
