Love (But)Need Certainty
Perfect Man

It was a little hotter than usual. Even an AC-equipped office is not able to drive the heat that barges in from the window. No wonder so many employees go back and forth to the pantry just to grab some cool, fresh drinking water.

"hhh to me!!" said Ovi the secretary suddenly entered the pantry room and snatched a bottle of cold mineral water from Puji his best friend's office.

"hrese terribly you," said Praise protest although not serious.

"well, the boss will run out of water if he asks." complained Ferdy from behind them while carrying a tray.

"that's okay, I'll buy it for him," said Ovi bubbly.

"that's my job" Ferdy said again with a little worry. He fears being fired from his job as an office boy if Ovi takes over his duties. Could-can he be judged not to be working until must be a secretary who buys drinking water out for the boss.

"i'll buy it later if the boss asks," said Ovi firmly.

"but..." Ferdy tried to prevent.

"ih, I'm the one who bought the tree, bring very much you," Ovi was firm in his decision.

"ih you are the mode," said Puji with a calm accusation.

"indeed! haha," Ovi assented proudly.

"must use pellets if you want to take the heart of the boss," continued Puji.

"idih, what we live in the martial age, I do not need that mystical," said Ovi with a confident cry.

"yes, congratulations on melting the stone" Puji said, chuckling.

Ovi scratched her head a little annoyed because Puji's words had a point. It was hard to take the heart of his boss. No one can do it so far.

They were about to return to their respective workplaces when suddenly Puji asked.

"didn't really go with the boss anyway?"

The Ovi who had stepped up instantly stopped and turned around.

"Adult, successful, established, handsome, and never had a boyfriend" Ovi replied smoothly.

"sure you never had a boyfriend??" ask Puji mysteriously.

"you tell me the same story, my gosh," Ovi patted his forehead.

Puji did work here first, while Ovi was only two years in this office.

"that's not what I mean." added Ovi again.

"keep??"

"Don't..."

"what the hell?"

"boss doesn't like girls.."

Ovi's mouth gaped in surprise when she heard it.

"it's impossible" Ovi convinced herself.

"sure?" Puji tried to shake Ovi's confidence.

"so sure,"

"how many times has the boss met a female guest? you're his secretary must be poultice,"

Ovi's brain adventured to capture the female guests who had entered the Boss' office. There are indeed some, but all of them are business partners from his office. There is nothing routine about just visiting.

Ovi shook her head in surrender..

"is that a male guest??" ask me again.

Ovi's brain again glared. and immediately thought of one person who felt like routinely visited the Boss' office.

"it seems like one who comes by often......"

Praise flicking her finger as if she has come to a conclusion from her theory.

"uh where??" said Puji saw Ovi who suddenly ran small out of the office.

Ten minutes later Ovi was right in front of his boss's door. Sweat drops could be seen on his forehead. Soon he tidied up his clothes first and wiped the sweat feathers that were still plunging. His right hand tightly hugged a bottle of mineral water that he had just obtained from the front shop opposite the office.

Ovi inhaled a deep breath and then knocked on the black-colored wooden door quietly. There's no answer....

Ovi came back knocking a little louder.There is a little sense so that it is better not to be answered only because he felt groggy..

He was rethinking his actions..he wanted to slightly dig out his own answer from his person directly...is there still hope for him?

Her fingers danced on the plastic bottle of mineral water in her hands. Every beat he thought back again and again.

Ovi had just stepped away giving up before a familiar heavy voice echoed behind the door.

"Come in." said the voice calmly from behind the door.

Without hesitation Ovi returned to the front of the door and opened the door slowly.

His boss was seen being engrossed at his desk watching the sheets of reports piled up on the table. Ovi stepped slowly like she was stepping on a slippery floor.

The boss' room was colder than the outside, making Ovi's hot and tired taste slightly disappear.

This manager room nuanced wood color is different from the rest of the other room in his office which is gray white with a modern feel. On the wall shelf near the window lined various trophies and the Boss's charter of achievement. Ovi was always amazed to see the line of awards, for him it was one of the characteristics of how qualified a boss is.

Beside the glittering shelf a small shelf stood upright. It was filled with photos of the boss. While walking Ovi observed every photo sheet displayed on the shelf. Most of the photos displayed are photos of his boss when there are office events, there are also photos when he received an award. But there is not a single photo of him with a woman except in the largest photo containing the photo of the boss hugging tightly on the shoulder of a woman who is quite old Ovi guess is the Mother of the Boss.

The absence of the photo of the woman with her Boss made her mind start to return to the conclusion of Praise. Plus he realized there were three photos that actually showed his Boss with a man with a familiar. Ovi realized that the man in the photo was the same person who quite regularly stopped by this office.

"what's Vi?" Rizky broke the silence by looking at her secretary's seemingly confused actions while looking at the photo shelf.

Instantly Ovi approached Rizky's desk and placed a 1.5-liter bottle of mineral water on his desk.

"hmm??" Rizky muttered confusedly lifting the bottle of mineral water.

"anu. it's in the pantry of mineral water runs out. so I buy for the father one maybe the father needs," said Ovi smoothly although the groggy taste actually still gnaws at his heart. Since long ago he was smart to hide the feelings of the heart from the water of his face.

"oh, he made it yes." said Rizky, putting the bottle back on the table and starting to look back at the sheets of paper in front of him.

Ovi Masi stood for a while..

Rizky who realized her secretary was still there again asked. "There's more Vi?"

Ovi hesitated for a moment but she had already decided to directly ask.

"That picture, that's a picture of who's father?" tanyanya while pointing towards the middle shelf.

Rizky immediately realized the photo that her secretary meant.

"that's my picture with Romi, my best friend since college." he replied straightforwardly.

Another one caught Romi.. Lucky for him. Rizky murmured inwardly accompanied by a little envy.

On the other hand Ovi was pleased with the Boss' answer, he believed in his words and meant he still had a gap to be able to be with his Boss one day.

"frequently hanging out with Mr Romi?" continue again to be more convincing.

"he, we've always been together since college, but yes that's if he no longer has a schedule with his girls." replied Rizky who in his mind he was trying to keep Ovi out of Romi's reach. He thinks it's a pity that a girl as good as Ovi ends up in Romi's arms.

"oh.." greeted Ovi in a soft voice, in his heart he increasingly made sure that there was nothing 'special' between his boss and his best friend.

"he's a playboy" Rizky added.

Without wasting more time and his curiosity satisfied, Ovi immediately resigned.

Rizky again checked the report in front of him when suddenly his cellphone rang.

A name that has recently contacted him appears on the screen.

- SOFIA - SOFIA

this again. complained Rizky in his heart. ...
