Love (But)Need Certainty
Inspiration

For two days Sofia had been non-stop talking about the events of that morning to Tias. The same story that was repeated inexorably described Sofia cheerfully. Tias who is a loyal listener must only endure the suffering of hearing Sofia's story.

"Lu actually really seneng really until like a hundred times I heard the word 'kiss Romi'. deuh!" sofia tries to stop Sofia's repeated story line.

"Well, I swear it's a big moment" said Sofia, watching and leaning on Tias' shoulder.

"Didih," Tias pushed Sofia's head off her shoulder. "The first one to fall in love."

"Slices" said Sofia, flicking her finger.

"Weird man" said Tias, pointing at Sofia's forehead.

Sofia laughs loosely at Tias' reaction, then Sofia's phone shakes. With a still smiling face he opened the incoming whatsapp message.

"Oh!" said surprised.

"What else?" Tias.

"This is my 'boyfriend' buddy" Sofia said, claiming Romi was her lover.

"Well, girlfriend, how can you say love hasn't," Tias reminded. "uh but what the hell, Rizky?"

"He asked for the help I promised him because he helped me tell him about Romi."

"So what did he ask for?"

"She just asked me where there was a good jewelry store .. plus lots of discounts.."

"Haha, how do you go?"

"Gue just give me the address of the store has Mama, let her there." said Sofia while sending the location of her mother's jewelry store to whatsapp Rizky.

"Lho. there's-there's aja.." murmured Sofia.

"Why again?"

"He asked for delivery to choose a ring. You come with me yes. my males if you have to be with him doang same," said Sofia while directly pulling Tias's arm towards the car park.

Sofia could have ignored Rizky's request, but she felt indebted thanks to information from Rizky she could end up in Romi's boarding house.

Rizky waited patiently in front of the shop Sofia mentioned. Several times he checked his watch because he did not have much time. There was a meeting with the directors waiting for him later. If Sofia didn't ask him right now to come she wouldn't have forced herself.

For Karina's sake she said inwardly.

And a moment later a white mercedes-benz S-Class stopped nearby. From inside appeared Sofia and Tias.

"Come," asked Sofia who went straight into the store with the big 'Golden Flower' on it.

"OK," Rizky complies and follows the two girls in.

Sofia wearing a t-shirt and jeans looks elegant and simple. Plus her face is beautiful. Rizky wondered why Romi was reluctant to be his partner.

"Siang Ma'am," the shopkeeper greeted Sofia as he entered.

"This is your shop?" rizky asked astonished to see the store clerks who seemed familiar and polite to Sofia.

"Oh.. engga... This store has my mother..so what are you looking for?" said Sofia flat while sitting on one of the high chairs there.

"Oh he. I'm looking for a ring." said Rizky who was following me next to Sofia.

"For whom?"

"Candidate," replied Rizky steadily.

Sofia called one of her employees who immediately went to the back and then came back again carrying a tray containing rows of sparkling rings exposed to shop lights.

"Well," Rizky looked in awe despite not understanding the jewelry.

"This is my favorite collection in this store. Instead of helping you find a suitable one, you can choose directly from here," said Sofia as she herself tried various rings.

"No, this has a store, but if there's a favorite collection I've chosen to be an employee here just take this one all."

"smart," Rizky praised..

"Better simple model or complicated?" rizky asked as her eyes traced the row of rings in front of her.

"If the first is better, it's simple" said Sofia flat.

"You're confused." murmured Rizky.

Sofia starts to feel bored while Rizky chooses endlessly, always feeling confused about which one to take. Meanwhile Tias in the other corner of the table excitedly was trying out various jewelry. His appearance already resembled a golden bellboy with a jumbo-sized yellow gold bracelet and necklace he was wearing. At least the presence of Tias is entertainment for now.

"So for the fiancee's show?" Sofia guesses asking Rizky.

"Ah berga. birthday.." replied Rizky while blushing shyly.

"A straight year with a diamond ring??" Sofia surprised.

It was not about giving her diamond ring that made Sofia surprised. Some of his friends did that too. But for someone who says he has never dated at all, giving a ring is a long jump.

"Yes, because I'll propose to him right away" replied Rizky confidently.

This time Sofia's breath was held for a while hearing this man's reckless plan.

Rizky then showed me a photo of her phone. Sofia approached to see the photo that Rizky was referring to. In the photo is Rizkh, a woman, and lastly there is Romi.

"That's Karina?" guess Sofia, Rizky mentioned her name a few times but Sofia never knew her form.

Rizky nodded in spirit. "It's our anniversary last year, we had a meal at a typical Javanese restaurant."

"Our year?" Sofia asked curiously.

"Yes me and Karina have a birthday on the same date," Rizky smiled broadly explaining.

"Wow," Sofia was amazed by that incredible coincidence.

But of course he was interested in one more person in the photo.

"Romi will also be on your birthday?"

"It's definitely coming, but it's going to be heavy" said Rizky deliberately luring Sofia to ask again.

"Weight?" Sofia confusion.

"Yes.." said Rizky short. Rizky already thought that one of the ways that could drive Romi towards Karina was to involve this rich girl in front of him.

"Because Romi also loves Karina," continued Rizky dramatically.

Without Rizky realizing it, his dramatic speech sounded like a lightning strike in broad daylight. Just now Sofia felt happy with Romi suddenly there was something like this. Sofia looked at Rizky with her mouth open and was unable to say anything. If his own best friend said that, then it is likely true.

"I chose this one, too," Rizky told the store clerk pointing to a ring of small leaves flanking diamonds.

"Ok sir I process the payment," said the salesman.

Sofia tries to eliminate her surprise, she now realizes Rizky's goal is not to ask for help finding jewelry. But he asks her to help Romi stay away from Karina.

"You're planning on proposing to her on her birthday, right?" said Sofia who managed to regain her composure.

Rizky nodded her head while smiling cunningly.

"I'll make sure Romi doesn't interfere with your plans, and you'll have Romi coming later" Sofia said as they planned.

"OK," Rizky replied briefly.

Rizky's arrival brings painful information to Sofia.. But Sofia is also grateful that Rizky's arrival gave her inspiration..

Sofia knows what to do ...
