"Really, no man wants a fight between two girls because of himself"

Inside the boarding room, Mike is agitated - like a man going crazy thinking about a debt that can't be paid.

He was pacing around indistinctly alone in the room. Mind fucked. Occasionally scratching his head, glancing at the cellphone and back to walk around the table in the boarding room up to several times.

If you've ever seen a pet put in brackets, that's what Mike is today.

Today he's not going to work, tomorrow he's going to the night shift. Mike thought today he would spend time with Tania. Take a walk around Jakarta, visit some parks, and maybe stop by some places to eat if hungry.

It could also be that they are going to Ancol, letting their bodies burn by the scorching heat of the sun, walking on the seafront and Mike could get a beautiful view when the wind hits and blows away Tania's hair.

But it's all nil. It's only in Mike's mind. Tania has no news at all.

The girl had a morning class. He could not bear to ignore Mike who was waiting for news from him. When they were new acquaintances, there was no special relationship whatsoever Tania still felt guilty letting Mike wait. He knew the man was trying to get close to him. And it's not wrong if he responds.

"Later I will tell you. I'm busy today. Maybe next time if not today. Never give up"

It felt like his head would break thinking about Tania who had not yet given him any time or not at all.

Yes, just like everyone else who is in love and trying by all means to get the attention of her girl.

"He should have told me this morning. He's got my number, maybe. I texted him last night after I got to my boarding house, told him I had arrived and reminded him again to take care of his health."

Mike paused for a moment when his phone rang, the sound of vibrating his phone could be heard clearly on the table. There's an incoming message. Mike smiled little hoping it was a message from Tania.

Soon he grabbed the phone, pressed the power button next to the screen and then found a notification of whatsapp message, from Tania. His spirit seems to be lost. Stares dimmer. What he saw was not up to his expectations. Tania who sent the message was not Tania who was making him crazy but Tania Mega's sister.

Mike has three Tania in his life so he gives a differentiator on each of their contact names on his phone. Tania1 for Aunt Mery's niece, Tania2 for Mega and Tania's younger sister, without any additional letters or signs according to her own orders is Tania, the girl who now haunts Mike's mind.

With a slight indolence, he opened his whatsapp, clicked the incoming message from Tania2 and his eyes widened instantly.

His blood seemed to stop flowing. Mike was back on his own mind. His heart was pounding, fear was controlling him.

Mike pecked for a moment. Think hard how to deal with this. It could have been that he replied to Mega's message that he was busy and could not pick her up but that was impossible.

Mega knows all about him and this is the reason Mega comes home tomorrow morning because she knows Mike is off and is about to go to the night shift. So close was Mike and Mega that everything about Mike was known to Mega.

Not finished thinking about Tania, now Mike must face the situation where Mega will return. Mike shouldn't have to be afraid and worry about anything. Mike and Mega have no special relationship. Mega is just a friend, a friend and a sister to Mike.

But Mike still has to keep Mega's feelings. Mega has already boldly expressed her feelings for Mike even though he knows it is difficult for Mike to accept. Mike does not want Mega to know that he is in love and tries to get close to another girl.

Mike then lowered his head and clenched his fists on the table. He's really confused. It's not funny if Mike and Mega have to fight because of Tania, or otherwise Tania should be a problem for Mega.

Mega really likes Mike and Mike know the stubborn nature of Mega. Mega of course will not let Tania belong to Mike just like that. Mega loves Mike so much.

Mike again sees Mega's message, types something but deletes it again.

"Just ignore it, let's just say I'm ready to pick her up. After all he knew I had read the message," muttered Mike a little upset in the heart because he was still disappointed with the action of Mega who lied to him about his missing cellphone.

Mike thought about Tania. There was no message from Tania.

"Is Tania trying to get away from me ? Is he not going to come back to the park after knowing I always come there ?" ask Mike in my heart. He scrunched his forehead thinking hard.

Back he must be like a man who would go crazy, afraid to think of Mega coming back and realizing that Mike has fallen in love with another girl, afraid that Tania will shy away from him.

"Ahh, fuck this. I had to make a commitment; Mega or Tania," without realizing it, he held his fist up and shouted as if he were a hero or a warrior trying to motivate himself and his comrades. Mike becomes embarrassed himself after realizing his suddenly strange behavior.

"Hehehehe," he chuckled to himself.

"May there be no sight of two girls grabbing each other's hair someday when they meet. I have to explain well to Mega and try to make her understand" Mike murmured inwardly.

"Tania, I'm a hard person to let something I want pass into someone else's hands. Whatever I would do to be with you, even against the world if I had to," Mike cheered himself up while imagining Tania's sweet smile and her hair flying in the breeze last night.

Mike has been in love with Tania since he first saw the girl. Now he will not care anymore about Mega's feelings for him. Mega is like a friend and sister to him. Since first meeting, Mike has decided not to fall in love with Mega. And it would be difficult for him to open his heart to the girl.

Poetry and along the way memories.
