Love (But)Need Certainty
An Untold Defeat

[Hey.] Romi sent whatsapp a message. This may be the fifth time he has greeted ‘Hei’ on Karina in the last half hour. Romi checked the time on his phone screen.

8.30 ..The time that Romi has less and less, he must immediately do his plan but Karina has not responded at all to the message from him.

His forehead frowned in wonder, not usually Karina (if it is not awake yet) woke up this session. He glanced again somehow for how many hundred times on the mother's bouquet at his desk.

Romi shuffled to the right side of his bed and picked up the room phone.

313.. Romi dialed Karina's room number and Mom was.

The ringing in his ears sounded like the growl of a cat. Romi's fingers tapped on his bed table impatiently.

Really bad if at this hour he has not woken up. I have to go straight to his room..

[Hello.] Mom's voice was heard from across the phone.

“Eh Mother. sorry to interrupt early in the morning.. Karina is awake? I'd like to stop by when I wake up.”

[Huh? The karina? He's been coming out with Rizky since this morning.]

Romi's fingers stopped knocking on the table, not feeling he had also grasped the phone handle twice as strong as before. He felt an uneasy stir coming from his stomach.

“Oh so. ok Mak.. later I call again.”

Romi slammed the phone hard.

His eyes looked around the room, looking for something to blame.

She could have let Karina go so early..

Romi took his phone back and directly pressed the contact ‘Karina’...

Tone reconnects play in Romi's ears. Each continuous tone sounds make Romi's feelings become more and more unbecoming. The distance between the splicing notes feels so long. He wondered what they were doing? Why didn't Karina even take her? What's Rizky's plan??

After a dozen continuous tones toying with Romi's heart, the connection was cut off. Karina did not take Romi's call. Instantly he then pressed Rizky's number and waited again. This time each ringing made him even more angry until his head hurt.

Damn it... Rizky didn't pick up Romi's phone. He tries to call Karina again, then Rizky again, then Karina again, and Rizky again. But all he got was an annoying, cold dial. It was as if he was laughing at Romi's anger..

He got up from the bed and darted out of the room, hoping to find the two people somewhere in the hotel. Romi ran to the lobby but he did not find both, he then took the elevator up to the top floor to the pool, but he again did not find both, he did not find both, Romi then searched the parking area and ran to the beach opposite the hotel.

There is no where.Romi breaths gasping for a run. He had a morning shower because he was now sweating again. Romi kicked the sand until the sand flew like a waterfall. He looked at the boundless expanse of water before him.. He felt small. feel tired..

It's not over yet.. Romi convinced himself and walked back to the hotel. He let out a long sigh, trying to gather logic to make himself not panic and fear.

What should I be afraid of? Rizky handsome. but gulun. he will not dare to freak-strange. dating only I have to temenin. there is no way he immediately pummel gas, afraid to talk, afraid of all kinds.even if he would actually shoot Karina at the birthday event later..

Romi was about to re-enter the lobby area when a car drove into the rear parking area. At first glance Romi immediately recognized the car and ran small towards the rear parking lot.

“Hei!” Romi calls as soon as Karina and Rizky get out of the car. Romi displayed a sumringah face even though his heart was burning.

Karina waved her hand and smiled slightly. Rizky waved her hand and then they both whispered to each other. Without Romi guessing they continued walking regardless Romi who was still waving his hands.

“Karina!” Romi called again and now only reply selirik only by Karina.

“Karina wants a break bro! Tired said, see you at eleven!” said Rizky who with a pretentious attitude led Karina in, her hands together locked so tightly. Romi did not realize they were holding hands, or indeed because Romi was reluctant to admit it.

“Gue tagged!” Romi ran after them.

The three of them entered the elevator, Karina still standing next to Rizky while Romi tried to glance at Karina's lyrics but Karina's gaze was fixed on the number of floors that alternately lit up above the elevator door.

“So I called you.” Romi tried to talk to Karina.

“So we're busy,” Rizky chimed.

“Lha kok you who nyaut?”

“Ya represent.”

“Mana can!”

“Can!” rizky replied with a slightly raised tone. The instring of maintaining his partner had already begun to appear.

Romi stepped forward to rebuke Rizky but stopped when Karina suddenly glanced at him sharply. Romi can't be careless in front of Karina.. If he forced it would be bad..

Romi continued to follow until they reached Karina's room.

“I want to rest mas,” said Karina who finally spoke to Romi.

“Capek? Can I bring you something? Want me to stop?”

“Nothing, there is Rizky mas.”

And the two of them disappeared behind the door that was slowly closed by Karina. Romi wanted to break down the door, he wanted to scream for an explanation, he wanted to pull Karina away from his best friend's side. But it could not do. let alone there was a mother in that room...

Romi walked back and forth in front of Karina's room, thinking and thinking. He tried to figure out what was going on between Karina and Rizky. Was Karina in an accident? Is there bad news?? romi's brain kept turning. Sometimes his mind comes to the conclusion that maybe they are already together? But Romi immediately rejected the thought. Not likely....

After waiting and walking around in circles Romi decided to return to the room. If in a warring strategy then this is a step back to reorder the plan.

At least that's what he thought, although the reality is not as sweet as the plan..

Romi walks back and that's when he sees Sofia again who is now with Tias. They were carrying suitcases pulled by Sofia, it seemed like they were going home.

Sofia who had met him with sobbing cries and a pathetic attitude now looked different...

Sofia walked up straight, her face had been smeared with make-up and her chin was lifted up high. Romi was about to ask but Sofia then smiled cynically making Romi undo his intentions.

This girl looks weird.. Romi was curious but he felt that he had enough to deal with Sofia today.

With her cynical smile still on her back, Sofia and Tias get into the elevator, leaving the pensive Romi astonished by Sofia.. Leaving Rizky as the winner..
