Love (But)Need Certainty
One Servings

Sofia plays her fingers at the wheel of her car impatiently. His feet tapped on the gas pedal like a drummer accompanying music. Fortunately, the car was parked on the side of the road.

"So we're in?" tias said from beside him.

"Awhile.."

Sofia tilted her middle rearview mirror and reflected uneasily.

Why am I not calm?

Sofia's firm confidence like a rock felt shaky. When Romi found out he liked Karina there was an uncomfortable feeling of creeping slowly. Little by little he gnawed at his confidence. Especially if Rizky is worried, then Romi might seriously like this girl. Sofia is envious of this girl getting something she so wanted without having to put in a lot of effort.

Suddenly Sofia took a breath and steadily stepped out of her car. He should know and should look directly at this seemingly special girl.

"Eh wait,"

Tias hurriedly took his bag from the back seat and went after his best friend.

Sofia went into the boisterous stall by the man who was eating the lotus. After taking a look, the two friends sat at a small table near the corner, the only place that was still empty.

"Rame yes," Tias looked around.

"Rame.. fortunately we can sit," said Sofia while looking at a small menu of simple A5 size that has been laminated.

Sofia raised her hand to order food. And a fairly aged man with a friendly smile approached the two of them.

"You want to order mbak?" he said, slightly bowing politely.

"Oh yes, two.."

"Drink?"

"Mineral water, two..".

While the man went to make Sofis' order, the sound of spoons and forks clashing filled the commotion and the vehicle on the road. Some people are busy eating but do not forget to interspersed talking about the latest rumors from his circle of friends. Occasionally there was the sound of a clutch that was crushing nuts on top of cobek through the crowd.

And the one who was packing the peanut butter on the table was none other than Karina. From the far side Sofia could clearly see the sighting of Karina who was busy working.

Sofia looked closely at the figure of the girl who was actively working. His long hair was tied backwards avoiding strands of hair falling onto food. He was wearing a brown T-shirt covered in a shabby aprons patterned with blue stripes. Some of the spice stains that stuck to his clothes were a sign of how busy he was that afternoon. What is interesting for Sofia is that this girl does not wear makeup, of course this kind of work wearing makeup is not so suitable. But even so her beautiful face always seemed cheerful and smiling. Even when a consumer nags because his change banknotes are a little torn, he exchanges them for good ones still with a typical smile.

"Beautiful you know," Tias nyeletuk.

"Yes.."

"Lho is!"

"That fact, I don't want a hypocrite doesn't say she's beautiful, but that doesn't mean she's superior to me.."

"We should have brought Sarah.."

"No. not yet.."

"Can use the usual plan, so this girl will no longer want to be with Romi."

"It's not time yet.."

"Later Romi shot him.."

"If so, but I have other plans.."

"Put on Sarah?"

Sofia nodded..

"So when?"

Tias was confused to see the attitude of his best friend this time. Usually Sofia always actively uses aggressive ways to eliminate people who are 'unworthy' for Romi. But there must be some logic and reason that Sofia is thinking about. At least that's what Tias thinks.

A moment later their food had already arrived on the table. Sofia tasted a lotek that looks fresh and tasty.

What is this also that makes Romi like him. but I am also good at cooking..

"Where is the movie??" ask Yuli while cutting vegetables.

"Seru, I don't like movies like that anyway, but it's exciting because the first launch is just a lot of events, exciting deh."

"That makes fun of his show or Romi hahaha," mas Parjo teases Karina while carrying a tray with two iced teas on it.

"Oh, yeah, no! haha."

The conversation was overheard by Sofia who was still eating her lotto. Most of the other visitors had already gone home so their conversation sounded clear.

Sofia concentrates more to hear, she stops eating and just drinks.

"Later Rizky ngambek you know," said Yuli.

"Lho what's his business.."

"Isn't Rizky dating?" mas Parjo.

"No. just eat it anyway. same nganter go home a few times.."

"That's a sign he likes you mbak." said mbak Yuli who is now sitting relaxed because consumers have begun to quiet. Meanwhile, Mas Parjo disappeared to the back to wash dishes.

"Yes, if you like it, he should have said it anyway."

"It's just mbak.."

"Yes dong.we will need certainty.kan later lest we have hope because believe that he likes us. uh apparently not so.."

"So hang it up mbak.."

"Yes, if there is no certainty, how to fight for a relationship."

Ma'am Yuli nodded like she was thinking..

The last two customers stood up to Karina to pay. After that, they both walked back to their car.

"Beautiful huh," Karina praised the two people just now.

"Ah wait mbak," said mbak Yuli while giving a thumbs up.

"This is a bonus thanks to you haha!"

"Yes, you know, but Karina is no less beautiful than them."

"But lose the money" said Karina as she pointed towards the car they were riding in. "People should be like them who fit in with Rizky.."

"Mak is also suitable, but mostly lows this mbak."

Karina gave a small laugh hearing Yuli defend herself.

Sofia and Tias go away from Karina's fried food and lotus. In Sofia's heart, it's nice to stop by that place. Fortunately, the other day, Rizky happily gave me the address. Because as long as he followed Romi, this place he had never visited. And he knew what Karina was like.

Not because he cares, he just wants to know. Just satisfying the curiosity of wanting to see the girl Romi likes. Sofia admits Karina has some qualities that a man can match. That made him love Romi a little more. Or rather the desire to take Romi for himself.

There are already two people who make Sofia feel uncomfortable and increasingly passionate about getting Romi. Asteria who seemed determined to defend Romi despite using Sarah's tricks. And Karina who Romi likes to compete with her own best friend.

But back again, it's not all that important. Because the most important thing for Sofia was of course the final plan..
