"There's nothing wrong with falling in love. Even when you're not in love with someone who's trying to get your love but with someone else"

Mike was silent after Tania was ready behind him. His heart is beating fast. He didn't know what to say to start the conversation. Tania was now sitting right behind him and she just silently stared focused forward.

Every now and then Mike plays the brakes, deliberately so Tania can give him a sudden hug. I don't know what got into him to do that crazy idea.

His heart was pounding harder. What should he say to start a conversation with Tania ? Mike thought hard - wondering in his heart.

"Slow down. I'm not in a hurry," Tania said, suddenly breaking Mike's mind and opening the conversation. Mike smiled slightly, his confusion was answered, Tania who finally invited him to speak.

"Sorry, Tania," she said nervously. Tania turned back to silence and stared blankly at the roadside. Mike looked at his hair that was flying in the wind. His eyes that flickered quickly due to the wind that was too strong made his round face even sweeter to look at.

Mike's heart was pounding again. The woman who amazed him and couldn't sleep all night thinking about him now showed her charm right behind him.

"Your hair is good," Mike seduces Tania's daydream.

"Don't seduce me, I'm not easily seduced," Tania replied cynically then looked back at the curb. He always says it over and over again but Mike always repeats it.

"I'm not seducing you. I'm telling you the truth" he said, trying to reduce the speed at which his voice was clearly heard by Tania.

"Tomorrow are you busy ? I want to take you for a walk," Mike asked suddenly. Tania just kept thinking.

"I can't confirm it now," Tania replied quickly. His busyness preparing his script was indeed unable to give him time to play freely outside.

"Then let me know if I can make it tomorrow" Mike said quickly, hoping Tania understood his point that he intended to ask for his phone number.

Tania was silent. Mike glanced at the rearview mirror and saw again clearly Tania's thick and black hair blowing in the wind. Really, she is very sweet. The breezy sweep of the wind that stroked his friendly face created a beautiful scene behind Mike - the blinking of his eyes so quickly created a distinctive beauty on his face. Looks like Mike has to buy one more helmet in preparation and he will always carry it everywhere so that it can be used by Mega or Tania. Yes, only these two girls are always faithful sitting behind him - the other often hugs Mike when sitting behind him. The other is being worked on so that later he always clutches closely behind Mike when they are both on one motorcycle.

"The front red light immediately turns left" Tania said quickly so Mike immediately reduced the speed and immediately turned on the left turn light.

"Still far away ?" Mike asked after turning left.

"Not far away. Before the Indomaret in front, turn left again immediately" Tania replied quietly as she pressed her mouth closer to Mike's ear. Mike was deliberately not wearing a helmet so that his voice was more clearly heard. Tania's breath hitting the ears made Mike shudder. But he could only quietly hear what Tania said.

"You live alone ?" mike asked suddenly after turning left before Indomaret.

"No, I live with my husband" Tania replied quickly but it sounded very clear in Mike's ear. Again his heart was made to beat very fast. Mike immediately felt like he wanted a stroke, not focusing anymore on riding my motorcycle to the point that he could not see a hole in the road.

"Not to be surprised. I'm kidding, I live alone," Tania said again after noticing the motorcycle slanting to the left and tilting to the right.

Tania's words just now really shocked her.

"Front left," said Tania quickly disperse Mike's daydream again.

Mike stopped the motorcycle at Tania's request.

"Here ?" Mike asked after seeing a white building on the side of the road.

"No, still in again. But you're here, motorbikes are forbidden to go inside at ten o'clock. The engine has to be turned off and you have to push it" Tania said slowly as she got off the motorcycle. Mike glanced at his watch. Right, ten o'clock's past.

"Thank you, next time don't force yourself to drive me. I can go home by myself."

"That means there's hope for me to see you again ?" Mike asked quickly. Tania only smiled a little but her smile was so sweet. At first glance Mike saw there is a dimple on his left cheek that makes his face even sweeter when smiling.

"I can't promise," Tania replied casually as she pulled her back shirt, tidying it up.

"Give me your phone number so I can know when you can" Mike said expectantly as he gave Tania his phone. Mike has opened the phone application so Tania directly type the number.

Tania picked it up then typed for a while and handed it back. Mike looked at the twelve numbers on the screen.

"Tania," Tania said glaring at him reminiscent of writing the name down on her contact.

"Don't try to add, subtract or change it" Tania said again and then turned and wanted to walk away.

"Wait," Mike suddenly restrains Tania's steps. Tania stopped and turned her face away.

"thank you. Take care of your health" Mike flatly reminded. Tania just smiled not returning a single word and left Mike.

Mike was still there, watching Tania walk away leaving him until his shadow was lost behind the wall after turning right into his alley. Mike smiled to himself, rewinding the memory in his brain to remember Tania's sweet smile, her hair flying beautifully in the wind, her ear-swept breath and words that had made Mike almost stroke instantly as she said she was living with her husband.

"Impressive," muttered Mike inwardly while smiling to himself. He turned the motorcycle around and left the hallway to the Tania boarding house. A happy smile emanated clearly on Mike's face.

"Hopefully he read it again after he got to the hostel" Mike muttered in his heart hoping that Tania would re-read his poem.

"I will try my best to make you fall in love with me Tania."
