Love (But)Need Certainty
Bono

"Boyfriend???" the mother looked in disbelief..

Sofia nodded excitedly...

Meanwhile beside Sofia an invisible lightning bolt strikes Romi's heart when Sofia declares herself to be Sofia's boyfriend. And for a few seconds Romi forgot how to breathe.

Romi was powerless to evade being claimed unilaterally like that in front of Sofia's parents. If they were just alone and faced with others, Romi would dare to refuse outright. If the case is like this Romi feels better swallow it first and then protest later. That is if you can........

Romi smiled. trying to look friendly. For so long he never dated officially, suddenly someone immediately claimed his girlfriend and immediately met his parents. Like a good dream that feels bad....

Then from behind her mother Sofia appeared another one.. Her father's....

Romi started producing cold sweat..

"Eh.. Who is this Mom?" Ask the mother.

"Sofia's boyfriend" she replied briefly as she massaged her forehead with a headache.

"Oyeah?? come on in here," invite the cheerful father.

While they entered the house, the mother walked the very back while still massaging her forehead. This dinner plan will be complicated because of his son's behavior...

An hour later Romi was half-heartedly devouring a Wellington beef cut on his plate. He looked around the dining table with a feeling of anxiety. Her father Sofia who seemed friendly the whole time was eating cheerfully. Several times he praised the cuisine tonight and had called their personal cook and advised to cook often like this.

Sofia's soft-faced but firm mother was whispering something to Sofia.. It seems something serious.. Romi tried to eavesdrop on their conversation but was not heard at all.

Romi looked across the table and clashed with the thinnest man he had ever seen. Bono from opposite him looked at Romi with an irritated look.

If Romi could talk out loud he would immediately say that this is just a misunderstanding. But in the meantime Bono looked at himself as a thief who had taken the most beautiful treasure he had.

Bono who came half an hour after the impromptu couple was shocked half to death to see Sofia holding someone so tightly when she arrived. In his hand he had brought a bouquet of roses that were so beautiful ("I arranged myself" as he claimed). If he does not remember he was at the house of Mr. Wiro then surely he has thrown flowers that he brought to the face of the man who looks lazy.

Especially when Mr. Wiro himself said that it was Sofia's lover, Bono's heart felt like it was going to explode. He was screaming like Tarzan in the woods. But for the sake of respecting the boss who has contributed a lot for him he is willing to refrain.

Sofia is the woman of her dreams, but for her to act foolishly and sacrifice her career struggle to vent her regret is a futile act.

Romi lowered his eyes back on the plate..

Beside Romi, Sofia is busy telling her mother that this is not a joke or fad to avoid her mother's plans.

"She's my real boyfriend." whispered Sofia maybe for the tenth time.

"So you don't think of Mama as your Mama anymore? so you don't tell me?" whispered his mother while pinching Sofia's thigh.

Sofia and her mother are not really close, so her mother can't guess whether Sofia actually has a boyfriend or just a fad.

"Where's food? from then on just shut up," asked the mother to Romi after the food was spent.

"Oh he's aunty, very nice." replied Romi briefly do not forget with a big smile.

"Thank God, play here often, later made again like this," said his mother was friendly but with a sharp tone.

Sofia slowly elbowed her mother.

"It's aunty" Romi replied politely.

From across he could feel a mystical aura emanating showering him with envy.

After that Bono talked about building a new building or something that Romi did not understand. But Romi can guess that this person named Bono is a subordinate who has a fairly high position in the company of his father Sofia. Romi was a little happy that at least his father's attention was distracted by business talks rather than Romi being the victim of parental interrogation.

After that Bono and her father Sofia went to another room while still talking about this - it was about business. Her mother Sofia moved while carrying some dirty dishes with some of her servants to the kitchen area.

Sofia pulls Romi's hand and takes him out to the back of her house which turns out to be a fairly large swimming pool.

"Thank you." she said briefly, bowed.

"What's wrong.. You really make me hang... boyfriend?? ouch..." Romi closed his face with both hands in disbelief.

"Rather than the same exemplary employee, right.." said Sofia.he was about to add 'mending me to be your real girlfriend' but the sentence stuck in the throat.

Sofia is satisfied with tonight's result, she is happy when Bono looks panicked to see her holding someone else. He is happy not to be forced to be friendly with people he does not want. But what pleased him the most was Romi who did not refuse outright when he claimed to be his lover.

Of course Sofia realized that it must make her feel bad and at the same time afraid that it would make her stay away from Sofia later on. Therefore he felt a little awkward at this time.he never felt afraid and happy at the same time like this..

"Next time tell me if you want to be kayak gini, so that I can act well right." said Romi diverted attention from the daydreams of Sofia.

"yes.." answered Sofia briefly. 'acting'. The simple word stung her heart.

The rest of the night was spent more sitting and quiet beside the pool. The wind and rustling of plant leaves on the edge of the pond became the only sound that adorned the silence of the night. Romi did not understand what to say, he was not angry..

Sofia's brain is still difficult to think clearly because of the feeling. He was happy.fearful..

But Sofia could clearly feel her love for this man beside her. Romi's attitude that is able to refrain from rebelling because it is claimed unilaterally as a lover shows that he is capable of becoming an adult. He liked that side of a Romi who was fleeting like any other childish man who was a hobby of women. He did not choose wrong..

If tonight Romi thinks this is all 'acting', then the next Sofia will make sure this will not be just 'acting'..
