"Can we start our story from the beginning, Dear? Now, let me pay for your wait for four years with the rest of my life. I want to make up for every tear I've ever given for hurting you, with a marriage based on love for you. I want to give you a 'house' for both of us and the kids. Can't you?" ask Mike. His gaze was so shady and soothing to anyone who saw it.
"Are you kidding me? (You're kidding me?)" search Mika.
"No, does my face look like I'm joking, Dear?" ask Mike back.
"So can you give me a chance to mend our relationship?" Mike repeated the question that stuck in his heart, because Mika had not answered yes or no.
Mika just nodded then bowed in shame because Mike returned his love. The almost five-year wait, the endless patience, the flowing tears, the pain that felt instantly turned into a sense of happiness filled all the niches of Mika's heart.
To be honest it is not Mika who felt pain for five years, loved in silence, longing but could not feel, close but felt far away, crazy because of longing but could not make out. Mike's holding his ego going to Mika. But well, in the future Mike will really take care of his beloved woman, and their last problem is both Mika's parents, Michelle and Haura Wiradmadja.
Mike who saw the lightning nod Mika immediately pulled Mika and hugged her, he buried his head into Mika's neck "Thank you Dear, I really thank you for giving me a chance, I promise I'll use it well for the rest of my life" Mike said. Somehow Mike's tears spilled unbearably, there was a warm feeling in his heart because of this embrace.
For years Mike never again could feel the warm embrace of someone he loved since the departure of his beloved mother. Never once was Mike close to a woman, he thought that by not relating to women then he could retain the memory and sense of the warm embrace of the mother. But it turns out wrong, instead he can feel the warmth is real when hugging Mika, the only woman who managed to poramdakan his life at this time, the only woman who filled the contents of his brain, the only woman to revive her spirit. Mike's body shook as he cried, Mika realized but a little did not believe a Mike could cry.
Mika pushes Mike's body away, Mika wants to see Mike's face right now if his beloved man is crying. Mike just bowed his lethargic eyes closed and still shed tears, crying in silence, like there was the deepest longing of his cries.
"Mike?" Mika tried to put her face in Mike's face.
"Is loving me as sad as Mike?" ask Mika who feels bad to see Mike like that. Mike just shook his head quietly without looking at Mika.
"Then why are you crying? I can hardly believe you're crying, I never thought a Mike could cry out of love. Tsk... You're still a hickey." ledek Mika. Mika tries to melt Mike's sad mood and it works.
Mike wiped his tears and sat up straight again like a Mike Anderson.
"Sad.. Even if I'm cute, but I have a woman who loves me every time!" she replied with a smile towards Mika.
Mika hugged Mike.
"Don't cry anymore Mike, I never go and take away my feelings for you even if I want to, somehow loving you is like my mandatory routine that I can't get rid of even if you hurt me with all your words and behavior" said Mika.
Mike returned a warm embrace of Mika but this time not accompanied by feelings of sadness but a feeling of happiness. Happy that Mika no longer avoids him and is fierce to him.
"Mikes.. I'm hungry." said Mika in Mike's arms. Mike laughed when he heard it.
"You're obedient when hunger turns out, Dear. I don't think you're any more fierce after receiving me." ledek Mike. Mika pinches spoiled Mike's waist.
"If I wasn't fierce, you wouldn't be able to hug me here right now. Maybe I've been with another man." said Mika.
"No words possible, because forever you can only be with me and love me." Mike replied no less.
"Sad.. Let's eat already, do you want me to starve to death?" whine Mika.
"You're like a porcupine yes, spiked outside but not with your heart. I love you." said Mike while kissing Mika's cheek lightning and standing up and going to the kitchen with his rest.
"Basic Mode!" mika replied softly as she smiled a beautiful smile on her face, her hand stroking the cheek that had been kissed by Mike.
Mike tried to cook the spaghetti so that Mika did not wait long, almost a minute of Mike struggling in the kitchen, immediately crossed his mind to prank Mika.
As Mike was plating, Mike turned to Mika and called her lover to sit at the dinner table as he was almost done. Mika who was called walked towards the dining table.
"Ah the smell is so good, what are you cooking Mike?" yell Mika.
"Basic stingy!" sneer Mika while shaking her legs on the chair, she could not wait for the food made by Mike to arrive.
Mike was finally finished, he brought a plate of food for Mika, but strangely he put a lid of food on the plate, like a waiter restaurant when serving special food.
"Why should Mike shut up, I even smelled the smell earlier" Mika replied annoyed.
"Hm.. Just open it." said Mike. Mika eventually chooses not to continue her debate and chooses to unscrew the food.
How shocked Mika was at what she saw.
"Why did you give me the key? I'm so hungry, Mike.." whine Mika.
"Take it, it's yours." said Mike.
"Hmm? Me?" ask Mika again.
"Yes, it's yours." Mike replied briefly. Mike is currently standing next to Mika who is sitting in the dining chair.
"But I never had Merci, Mike. And again, what's the key?" ask Mika curious.
"The key to this penthouse." Mike answered while stroking Mika's head.
"You're serious Mike? You're still sane, aren't you, Mike?" search Mika.
"Of course not, since meeting you you've driven me crazy, crazy for loving you" said Mike with a smile his hand still stroking Mika's head.
Mika stood up from her seat and stared intently at Mike.
"What's all this for?" ask Mika flat.
"To make up for the time, the time when you were graduating but I couldn't come to see you" Mike replied. Now Mike no longer stroked Mika's head but turned to Mika's cheek.
"Am I dreaming Mike? You're so good today, is this just a dream?" asked Mika moved.
"Dear you're not dreaming. Sit down I'll take your real food." Mike breezed off to the pantry to get a plate full of food.
Just wanting to carry her, Mika had already hugged her from her back blick.
"Thank you Mike, I know you're solidifying for me, but I don't want material from you, I just want you and your time. That's more than enough" Mika said. Mike fell silent and turned to look at Mika.
"Everything in my life will be mine even for a penny, Dear." said Mike as he clasped his hands around Mika's waist, Mike leaned against the pantry table and sat down slightly.
Mika held her hands to Mike's neck. Mike who had been holding back wanted to kiss Mika's lips was finally unable and began to tilt his head, Mika began to close her eyes, and they kissed affectionately over the beautiful city of New York.
Ah.. New York I love You! - Inner Mika.
Seriate..
Gee.. Crazy lo Mike! I really want Otor to eat, but he loves Merci. Huhuhoo.
Happy activities, and see you in the next chapter 🖤
