Episode 12's

"You're going to be completely insane when you realize you've done something crazy for someone in the name of love"

.

Mike tries to forget all the thoughts that have been bothering him all day - thinking of Tania who has given him absolutely no news to meet, thinking about Mega coming back and asking him to pick her up at the airport.

He tries hard to find a way so that he can solve his problems with Mega, explaining that he cannot accept Mega to be his lover.

Mike knew he was doing this not because he had fallen in love with Tania but because he did not want to make Mega his lover. He just wants Mega to love him as his best friend, as his brother.

Thinking of this left him exhausted to sleep. Mike forgot what he thought last before he fell asleep. Really exhausting and confusing.

Mike woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes to realize it was morning. He quickly grabbed the phone, turned it on and glanced at the clock. Mike was shocked not to play when he realized the time had been seven more than ten minutes.

"Gosh, I have to go to the airport to pick up Mega" he muttered as he got out of bed. Mike quickly grabbed a towel and stepped into the bathroom. As fast as lightning cleans itself.

After that Mike quickly got dressed and hurried out of the room to park his motorcycle. Mike hurriedly turned on his motor then let the engine heat up for a few minutes.

"I can't be late because Mega can't reach me. The phone is still with me," Mike muttered in his heart as he reached into his pocket checking his Mega's phone, making sure he had it in his pocket. Mike rushes off and drives off with his motorcycle.

*****

"You're late, I've been waiting for almost an hour here" Mega said after Mike came and stood in front of him. His face was pouting not playing.

Mega carrying a suitcase bag of his. Mike glanced at the watch and realized it was too late.

"Sorry waiting. I was stuck in traffic" he said slowly after greeting her. Mega just silently looked at Mike. There was clearly a pang of frustration on his face.

Mike grabbed his suitcase, and walked first followed Mega to the parking lot. He snarled not saying anything.

"May he realize that I must have been angry with his crazy behavior a few weeks ago before he went to his village. How could he possibly do such a crazy thing ?" Mike never thought about it.

*****

Mike stopped his motorcycle right in front of the Mega boarding house. Mega lifted the suitcase from her lap and got off the bike.

Mega is silent. Didn't say anything. Mega hasn't said anything along the way because Mike hasn't said anything either.

"Wish I scolded him, attacked him with a few words of my swearing for his ridiculous act of lying to me. But I don't want to start first. I waited until he spoke first" said Mike in his heart.

"Thank you for picking me up" said Mega suddenly with a smile after getting off the bike. Mike smiled back at Mega. Mike saw clearly in his eyes there was a fear that Mike would scold him.

Mike stopped his steps right in front of Mega's room door. Mega puts her suitcase on the floor and looks at Mike.

"I'm sorry, it's been a hassle" said Mega casually did not discuss Mike's remarks about his lies.

"I want you to say something about your crazy idea Mega" Mike said in a slightly high tone as Mega was about to pull out his room key from his bag. Mega stopped her hand movements immediately and looked at Mike.

"I think you know the answer, Mike. I don't want to say anything" Mega said firmly as she glared at Mike. His heart beat instantly.

"Oh yeah. I hope you don't forget to bring it," Mega said again as she thrust her right hand toward Mike with an open palm asking Mike for something. Mike just stared at him.

"I don't like your crazy ideas...."

"I went crazy when I realized that I love you, Mike," Mega quickly interrupted Mike's conversation. Mike's heart is beating faster. He sculpted. Mike's sharp gaze highlighted Mega's eyes. Mike saw clearly Mega's eyes that described his entire heart.

Mike slowly reached his left hand into his pants pocket and pulled out his phone and gave it to him. Mike remained silent, unwilling to continue his words again. Mike knows that he will not solve the problem because Mega is confident in every decision.

Mega opened the door to her room after Mike had placed it on her hand. He quickly put his suitcase into the room.

"Thank you for picking me up and dropping me off. I'm sorry, I can't tell you to come in" said Mega quietly. This time there was no smile on his face. Mike was not able to get into Mega's room because in his boarding house, guests other than girls only stopped in front of the room door.

Mike just stared at him blankly. Mike steps away from the boarding room after Mega closes the door.

His mind is back in chaos. He no longer knows how to. Asking for an explanation of Mega's crazy idea was like this so, what if he once again had to say everything that he did not love her ? What if he finds out Mike has fallen in love with another girl ?

"Should there be a love triangle between me, Mega and Tania ? Am I wrong to reject his love even though I know he has tried so hard to get my love ? Or am I just forcing her to accept her love ?"

Ahh, again Mike is stuck here - on the taste that makes him want to die. No longer want to force yourself to continue to be in this sense - the sense to continue to resist but fear to hurt Mega's feelings.

"No. I should be able to. I should be able to finish this. I should be able to explain to Mega well that I can't love her as my lover. He will feel even more pain if he realizes later that I accept him because of compulsion, there is absolutely no love for him as a lover."

Mike was silent for a moment in front of his motorcycle. Both of his hands squeezed roughly his hair, hitting his own head like a madman.

"Lord, help me," he muttered expectantly in his heart as he drove off on a motorcycle leaving the Mega residence.

Again the love affair that bothers Mike now. Between Mega and Tania. Between love and friendship. It literally dragged him into a corner and there the choices squeezed him, trying to seize the narrow space he was occupying.
