Love (But)Need Certainty
Romi and Asteria

Romi stood up and took a deep breath, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a key. He was about to put the key in his hole but he pulled it back. He played the key in his hand throwing it in his palm, one-third of his heart forbidding him to go inside. But the rest ordered to go in immediately and fulfill his wish.

Unlimited selfishness Romi said in a disappointed heart to himself.

And soon after, Romi used the key he had been playing with and opened the black door in front of him..

Romi opened the door and went inside but there were no sounds of activity there. He then opened the shoes as usual and put them on a shelf that already contained some neatly lined women's shoes.

Romi walks in and sits on the sofa in front of the TV as usual if he comes here. He did not turn on the TV as usual but he just sat back and leaned onto the brown sofa that was so soft.

At first glance Romi thinks that this sofa must be very expensive. If you have to buy it yourself, it looks like he has to collect a salary for months. Fortunately, he could use it at any time.

Romi leaned back and closed his eyes, after a long day of work it felt comfortable to rest here. The aroma of the room that always smells of lavender, the cool breeze of the AC that is always on fire caresses his hot skin, and the atmosphere here that somehow always feels peaceful, and peaceful, if he wants to be selfish, he just lives here. But if he did, people would see him just living here.

When Romi's eyes were still closed suddenly a kiss landed on his forehead.

"Eh?" Romi was surprised, but he was happy.

"I'm sorry I just took a nap" said Asteria, who was still in her pajamas. His face still looks pillow face but still looks sweet..

"It's good thanks to being able to work at home" said Romi who is now sitting upright no longer leaning.

"Yes dong, envious huh?" seduced Asteria then walked over and sat down next to Romi and then pamperedly leaned on his shoulder.

Romi embraces Asteria's shoulder.

"Haha iya, people who do not envy you are abnormal, it's really good to work at home.can while snacking.rest can sleep.not need to meet many people..no need to meet the boss directly," said Romi who imagined he worked all day wearing only shorts. "Eh you haven't had a bath since morning?"

Asteria pulled her blue pajamas proudly, "not yet hahaha, why? no like? smell??"

"That's it," said Romi briefly.

"Keep why?" said Asteria brought her face closer to Romi's face.

Romi gulped approached like that.. Asteria was beautiful from a long time ago.His sharp nose touched Romi's nose so close to their faces both. The smell of his body still smells even though he has not taken a bath, maybe because he does not work much physically, or maybe just the imagination of Romi.

And just like that all continued until Romi finally had to carry Asteria into the room... The sofa is not a favorite place for Romi to share love..

Two hours later Asteria was already busy cooking dinner for the two of them. This time Asteria had taken a bath, as well as Romi who had changed clothes. He did keep some clothes in the Asteria place.

A moment later the special fried rice made by Asteria was presented in front of Romi.

"Fragrance." said Romi when the steam of fried rice infiltrated his nose.

"I'm sorry you can only cook fried rice" said Asteria while taking a plate for herself.

"Current women even a lot of who can not make eggs clap," said Romi while lifting pieces of eggs from fried rice.

"Ah time..?"

"Really."

"Don't you experience girls a lot hahaha," said Asteria laughing loosely.

"That's not it, either" Romi said, although what Asteria said was true.

"There's no survey."

"Survey hahaha."

"Just a survey," said Romi brandishing his finger like a lecturer was teaching.

"You can keep eating my fried rice dishes" said Asteria.

"Hm?"

"You stay here, too" said Asteria, winking her eyes.

"Either the hell..."

"Yes, it's just here.."

"But I'll be fired as my son, my mother hahaha," Romi laughed as he pictured his mother in a big rage throwing sandals as usual when he was at home. Believe me, Romi's mother's anger is very scary. The only one who can change Romi's mind without making Romi complain and ask a lot of questions is his mother.

Asteria laughed when she heard Romi's reasoning. This one man does look plain once, maybe it is plain real. In Asteria's eyes a Romi was just an innocent man trying hard to be someone else. And when Romi shows her innocent side, Asteria sees her as she is. Asteria loves Romi that way.

Romi always told me everything, even about his other date. They're a couple so open that they don't make sense in most people's brains.

"You don't want to find someone more serious than me" Romi asked, eating his food.

"Don't want to" Asteria answered briefly.

"Beautiful.successful.smart cook.if there is a scoreboard I already give you a value of 100!" romi said while mimicking as if raising the scoreboard above his head.

"Yes, and the value of 100 of you is enough for me" said Asteria again casually.

"Although I'm a human being it's not clear."

"From the obvious, but the end I was bullied. mending is not clear.." said Asteria reply to the game said Romi.

"It makes no sense" said Romi smart-ass.

Suddenly Asteria kissed Romi's lips.

"That makes sense?" asked Asteria who was back in her dining chair.

"Nonsense," Romi answered briefly.

And they both laughed later..

Sometimes Romi feels guilty for putting Asteria in an unclear position. Asteria also not once twice just give an explanation to Romi that he was happy like this and free Romi to connect with anyone.

Romi felt the presence of Asteria made him feel at ease. This girl was always willing to listen to his chatter about everything. It became the place where Romi threw away the garbage of his mind and Asteria returned it by giving him comfort.

Asteria sometimes tells about her family and work, Romi listened carefully. They can pin their hopes and problems on each other. In fact they have the same hobbies, books and games. Not infrequently Romi played to the Asteria apartment just to play games all day together. Or the other day, they can both stay on the couch reading books all day.

That makes it difficult for Romi to leave this one girl.... Romi could easily leave all his other date behind to focus on Karina. But Asteria is another phenomenon that Romi cannot explain and will not eliminate..
