"It seems to you that I have found master over my long-silent poems"

.

Mike is still stunned. His feet were trembling, unable to step. He stood in front of the table, slightly looking down blankly at the table in his boarding room made of boards and then neatly lacquered. Both hands were on the table.

His mind raged violently. Still clearly ringing in his ears the words of Mega just now. Mike tries to forget, taking it for granted because he will not force his will to melt and reciprocate Mega's love for her but Mega's affirmation really bothers him.

Mike could have clearly told Mega that he would not be able to accept Mega's love. Mike could have ignored it but he couldn't. All he thinks about now is Tania, what will happen if he rejects Mega and Mega knows he loves another girl.

Mike backed off for a moment and found his bed. He broke his body trying to close his eyes forgetting all the words Mega had ringed in his ear just now.

But again he cannot. The more he tried to forget it the more it was present and haunted his mind. Mike is completely tormented by his own feelings for Tania and Mega's feelings for her. He is stuck on the opposite love; Mega loves him but he has planted the seeds of love to love others.

Mike forced himself to close his eyes, trying to sleep because he had to go to night shift work, to the point that he forgot to eat lunch. He no longer cares about his stomach, later at work just looking for food there, he thought.

*****

Mike arrived thirty minutes early at work before the picket change. There was already his night shift guard partner who had also arrived there. Mike then took the time to find food around to fill his stomach so he could last all night.

Mike tried to forget the problem when he was in the work environment in order to focus on carrying out his duties.

Just finished eating and was about to return to the main lobby where he was going to be on duty tonight, his phone rang, there was an incoming call from Tania.

Mike was stunned for a moment to see the phone screen. In her heart there was a slight sense of happiness Tania contacted him, but on the other hand she was nervous what she should say to Tania. But there was courage that pushed her, her hand then shifted the green button on the screen and tried to answer the phone from Tania.

"Hello, Tania," she answered quickly trying to hide her nervous feelings. This is the first time Tania has called him.

"Hello, Mike. Am I bothering you ?" ask Tania across the street.

"No, Tania. I just got to work, I'm in the night shift today and I'm going home tomorrow morning at seven" Mike replied quickly.

"Oh, okay. I'm sorry I couldn't see you yesterday. I was so busy that I forgot to tell you" the girl said, apologizing.

"Oh, okay. Its alright. At least I feel relieved to have heard your voice," Mike replied in a relaxed tone while smiling to himself.

"Hmm, don't seduce me," Tania sambar quickly.

"I'm not seducing you. You know, I've been thinking about you all night. I think you're uncomfortable with my way and will stay away from me" he said in a slightly clear tone.

"Say something about the poem, did you read it again ?" mike asked again as if he had not given Tania a chance to cut her off.

"Hehehehe, thank you for the poem. L like it. For the first time in my whole life a man wrote me a poem, "Tania said with a chuckle.

"Then what ?" tanya Tania quickly, then was silent for a moment.

"I put your poem on the wall of my room" Tania continued gently.

Mike smiled to himself. He was stunned for a moment to hear what Tania said. Mike smiles to himself when he learns that his poem is on display on Tania's bedroom wall.

"Tania, you are my masterless poems that have been silent all along" he said for sure.

Indeed, he felt he had found a new mood to be more enthusiastic and tried to forget his existing problems.

"I think I found the master of my poems" Mike said with a smile. He heard clearly Tania's loud voice on the other side. Tania laughed shyly happily.

"Hahaha, we just got acquainted. Don't be so quick to make me master of your poem, "Tania said softly while chuckling across.

"If so, don't try to run away from me. I'll make sure I don't get it wrong to choose you," Mike said quickly, Tania just sitting across.

"Yes before. Your work spirit. Take care of yourself" Tania quickly broke the silence for a moment and turned off the phone.

Mike smiled to himself. If anyone sees her they will think she is happy but in fact, she is dealing with a big problem in her life - trying to conquer Tania's heart and reject Mega's love in a good way.

All this time, writing poetry for him was just a hobby. He imagines loving someone, feeling as though the heartache of being betrayed, and fighting for someone he loves.

Everything he did just by imagining because he did not have a real lover. But from that night on, Tania's shadow was always present in her every memory. There was no power in her that could cast away Tania's shadow.

Correct, right, he dared to make Tania as master of his poems that had not been known because of Tania's sudden presence since that night pumped his spirit to pour out everything he felt in his heart about love - no longer about the loss he imagines - and the purpose.

I don't know what's special about Tania, Mike hasn't noticed yet. All he knew was that he wanted to have the girl. There was a sense of wanting to make the girl his life companion and master her poems.

He did not think at all about Mega desperately trying to get his love. For him, he was only able to accept and love Mega as a friend, friend and sister for himself. Not more.

He will try hard to reject Mega's love for him but must be in a wise way so that what he does does not hurt Mega's feelings in the least.

Mega just needs to understand and understand it. He also does not have to impose his own will because that is where the real pain lies, loving but unloved and it must be very painful.

Loving someone does need the same feelings from the people we love so that we can make it happen in the next journey of life.

What good is it if one day you have it but actually he is lying to his own feelings that he does not love you ? Happy, or the wounds you will get ?

Mike does not want it to happen if he lies to himself to accept Mega's love out of pity, does not want to see Mega hurt. What he's doing right now is what's best for him and Mega.
