Love (But)Need Certainty
Karmas

10.30

The room of the hotel hall has begun to be filled by invited guests who one by one arrive. Today's dresscode is a beach-themed and casual dress. The invitees mostly wear beach shirts patterned leaves and flowers of various colors. Many women who wear long dresses loose with motifs no less crowded with shirt partner, some also wear short dresses that refresh.

Meanwhile Romi is still tidying up the plain white T-shirt he wears and his brown shorts in front of the mirror. He should look handsome, or at least a little convincing. Believe it or not, even though Romi dates women a lot, self-care is something he often ignores. And when he tries to look handsome he often messes with it.

There's still time.. He briefly imagined Karina must be preparing in her room. Karina will match the beach costume, she will definitely look very beautiful..

Romi held up his bouquet carefully as if it were made of fragile glass. The bouquet was quite large, Romi had to hug the bouquet from the stomach so as not to fall, and even the top to cover almost half of Romi's face. While trying not to sneeze, he looked for the gap between the leaves and flowers.

It can still be seen the way, he said in his heart when he managed to find a gap.

Carefully Romi pushed the door, picked up his room card and slipped out. While walking he thought what words he would use later to declare his love. Of the many times he dated women, almost never once Romi expressed love. This will be the first time in a long time..

In one corner he arrived in front of the elevator. He could have used the stairs to get to Karina's room which was located one floor above him. But carrying a flower this big can be dangerous if you stumble in the middle of the stairs.

With the hassles Romi managed to push the elevator button and get inside. In just ten seconds he was already walking again in the hallway of the hotel room.

His heart rate crept up like a person jogging. Maybe because you are tired of carrying a bouquet of flowers, or maybe just the feeling..

One more turn he'll be there.. If her hands could break away from the bouquet, Romi would be busy fixing her hair right now.

Romi swerved while peering forward through the crevices of the flowers so that he did not hit something. But before he swerved completely his steps came to a halt.

From between the flowers and leaves he could see Karina standing in front of her room.. He was handsome so beautiful with a long light blue dress and leaf motifs all over his dress.

Romi smiled behind two roses to see the figure of the woman he loved.. It is not wrong that I choose. beautiful is perfect. kind hearted...

Just now he was about to continue his steps when Karina's face suddenly stuck with Rizky's face....

Romi's muscles hardened his entire body for a moment making him an impromptu statue.A second later he forced his legs back half a step until part of his body was covered by a wall leaving a bouquet of flowers visible.

His hunting breath blew through the petals of red and white roses. Romi could feel his body suddenly sweat. His forehead felt extremely contorted like someone was working on a test. His heart is beating irregularly..

By forcing herself, Romi slowly peeked back and now they both seemed to be hugging tightly.

Rizky looked very happy when she grabbed Karina's body. And it is very strange according to Romi that Karina also looks happy.

Romi never saw his best friend that happy..

He should be happy, right?

He should have known that it could all end like this, right?

What hope blinded him?

Did he not know that karma might come after him?

The questions hit Romi's mind like a torrential downpour after a year of drought. Too heavy...

Suddenly, Romi's head felt dizzy as if he had sunbaked under the hot sun. His body staggered backwards until he and his bouquet of flowers were not even visible from where Karina stood.

The wall became the last support of his body.The strength to stand upright as if lost..

If it was an old version of Romi, he would walk around and tease Rizky and Karina. After that he might not even dive into their birthdays and then go downstairs together to enjoy the party.

Romi put the giant bouquet on the floor, unable to lift it anymore. The burden of the flower felt so heavy. He never knew roses would feel this heavy if his heart did not allow his muscles to carry him further.

The beautiful bouquet of flowers is just abandoned on the floor which is made of maroon-red carpet with floral motifs. The sunlight through the window hit the flowers that were now aimlessly slanted.

Meanwhile, the owner had walked away again.now he did not care about the elevator.he continued to walk until sinking down the stairs to the bottom.

Every step down the stairs, his breathing felt heavier. He underestimated his best friend, he was too relaxed until overtaken by Rizky..

No. Not because I'm relaxed, but because I'm late to commit to Karina..

Romi could no longer continue his descent and sat only on the lower steps right near the entrance to the hall where the birthday celebration took place.

The stairs covered with wood felt cold on his butt. And I don't know how long the stairs haven't been cleaned but Romi didn't think about it. No matter how dirty the floor was it would not be around his mind and heart at this moment.

He stared blankly like a zombie at every arriving guest who annoyingly looked happy. Of course this birthday party.It is a criminal act to look sad at the birthday party.

Romi doesn't care..

And moments later the main star of today appeared from the far side. Rizky seemed to shake hands and joke when meeting his friends. Karina who was held in her hands by Rizky looks like a first lady who is accompanying her husband's duties. It seems that Rizky introduced Karina as somehow ready to make her friends and guests startled but then greeted the two of them like they were announcing the wedding.

Romi looked at them flatly from the top of the stairs..

It's Karina's birthday, and Rizky's is happy...

Romi has never felt a heartbreak. If she is disappointed there is always another woman who receives it again.. Now the debt of hundreds of unpaid heartbreaks has been paid in full at once.

Karmas....
