Love (But)Need Certainty
The (not) schedule is solid

Romi's eyes sharply stared at the LED screen in front of him. Sensitively his fingers danced reacting to the images that his eyes were capturing. His right hand was agile and dancing with his brain.

"Yeah!!!" Romi complained for a moment when his character in the Fallout 4 game he was playing on his computer was slaughtered by a Deatchclaw.

Romi sighed and laid his body to the floor behind him. A little rested his overly focused eyes just a moment ago. His head also felt a little dizzy because it was upset that his character died so easily.

So is the activity of Romi if there is no 'schedule' that he must keep. He chose to just sit still playing games in his room that is moist and comfortable (in his opinion).

Romi is not someone who likes the crowd. If only he could, he prefers to date in his room without having to go out to the crowd. Romi imagines it would be nice to spend some quiet time without the commotion and social hassles. Of course it's not possible to do. In addition, the choice between lazing comfortably in a boarding house or making out with girls is not a difficult decision to make. The second option is obviously a 'wise' option'.

Besides Rizky, not many of Romi's friends can get along with him. Especially because Romi is indeed choosy about friends, other than because since childhood Romi is difficult to get along with. For him it is very difficult to find a friend who can 'connect' with him. He had just met a girl in college. Before that he was just an unattractive fat nerd.

Romi had just decided to take a short nap when the door of his room was knocked slowly.

"hmm?? who's? open it" said Romi, still lying down.

A thick moustached man walked in and opened the dilapidated door of his room.

"Eh kang Pepeng," Romi immediately sat down to greet guests who were none other than his own boarding neighbors.

"what's kang?" romi asked.

"anu. please balesin this hehehe," Kang Pepeng smiled shyly as he handed her his phone.

Romi picked it up and watched what was plastered on his screen. Just a simple conversation between Kang Pepeng and someone named Sita on whatsapp app.

"why not answer yourself??" ask Romi.

"embarrassed hehehe.. confused what to say." replied Kang Pepeng while scratching his head.

"yes, just talk like us" Romi suggested.

"ah later the wrong talk." said Kang Pepeng again while thrusting again his phone.

"yes if you're wrong apologize hehe."

"eh failed or if so, ntar even shunned, so sad later me."

"yes look again kang if it fails haha."

"yee can't do it.."

"yes," Romi gives up and takes Kang Pepeng's phone back.

"died ya hehe. later return it if it's finished," said Kang Pepeng cheerful while leaving Romi.

"lhaa..."

Kang Pepeng is 34 years old, but like the fates of human beings who focus on careers, have not been able to mate. Even if they get acquaintances they usually become awkward. And this isn't the first time Romi has helped her to return a conversation she couldn't reciprocate because of a dead end.

But don't get me wrong, as clever as Romi talks if the interlocutor is not interested at all then Romi can not do more. For him it all starts from intention, if his intention is well received it will be easy to establish communication. If the response from the beginning has been negative, then it is better to miss. He doesn't like to force women. Talking to people who are not interested in us is as good as talking to a rock. Fortunately Sita seemed to have been interested in Kang Pepeng from the beginning. So Romi just smooths out their communication.

As her thumb nimbly squeezed the touch screen of the phone, several times Romi's own phone vibrated a sign of a message coming in. Romi who did not realize it continued to chat with Sita.

Romi feels the girl named Sita is quite promising for Kang Pepeng, so just go ahead Romi asks for time to meet (as kang Pepeng of course). And just as Romi expected, Sita immediately agreed to the proposal. Thus Romi considers 'mission' has been completed.

Romi walked quickly down the stairs to the ground floor until he arrived at Kang Pepeng's doorstep. He knocked and soon Kang Pepeng's distinctive mustachioed face appeared from behind the door.

"has she??" ask him with a thick Sundanese accent.

"safe," said Romi while giving a thumbs up.

With a shy smile Kang Pepeng received a phone back from Romi.

"Makasi, meatballs yes hehe," he said again promising 'gift'.

"hahaha just relax," Romi said as he left Kang Pepeng on his new date.

While walking up the stairs, Kang Pepeng cried out in excitement. It seems that everything will go smoothly later, Romi feels happy to have helped. It seems Romi's skills can be put to good use. At first glance he thought about what better he set up a dating bureau. It can be a fortune field.

Upon his return to his room, Romi fell on his bus bed. He was just about to go to sleep but he grabbed his phone. His intention is to play the game for a while. But whatsapp message notifications are piling up.

"hmm?"

Romi opened a message that he had not read, there was from Rizky, there were from his men in the office, but the most from just one name.. Sofia..

[check.. ]

[check.. ]

[check.. ]

[Rome.. ]

[tomorrow to meet yuk.. Cafe Bupi. at 8].

Romi had to blink his eyes several times while reading the message. Not as usual and suddenly Sofia invites him to meet. At first glance, do you think this is a trap?? worry rose in the corner of his heart.

But after he rethinks he concludes it is impossible if Sofia has bad intentions. He has never dated Sofia before, nor has he ever said 'like' to Sofia. So there's no way he's gonna frame Romi, is he?

Romi quickly replied.

[ok]

In addition, in his mind he had thought of another way not to go too far with this Sofia. Romi sends Rizky a whatsapp message, asking her to meet Sofia. After all, the original plan was to get them to date, so this would be a good plan for the two of them to get to know more. In the middle of the meeting Romi could ask for a farewell to leave them both.

perfect, said Romi inwardly praising his own plan.
