"I've loved you since I first saw you. Come with me."

Mike was still in his position. His face was clearly nervous. Kevin just smiled at his best friend. But not for Mega, he did not consider it a joke at all. He was curious - waiting for what Mike would do after that.

Mega knows the man really wants Tania to be her lover, unlike her who once forced her will but Mike is only willing to love her as a friend and sister.

A hardworking, independent man who does not depend on his parents, that's what once made Mega like a madman who chased after Mike.

Tania was lucky, she should be grateful. May they be happy.

Tania came out of the room with her face still showing happiness. He sat next to Mega and again hugged Mega for the umpteenth time.

"Thank you, you're the best friend I have right now. May we stay like this huh," Tania said breaking the silence.

Mega and Kevin just smiled. Mike was still in his position.

"Sorry, there's nothing here. I cooked yellow rice, have you guys eaten yet ?" Tania asked her friends.

Upps, Mike is also still dating, not officially dating.

"No need to bother Tania. We just came to see. Keep the spirit here, hopefully your research goes well. Don't forget to go home, there's someone waiting in Jakarta" Mega said, winking at Mike.

Tania just smiled. He was really happy with the arrival of Mega and her friends. He did not expect them to give him this surprise.

"Thank you," Tania said briefly as she hugged Mega back.

"You still want to sit down or go straight home ? Your journey is still far away. I mean, I'm not telling you to hurry home, I still want to be with you guys but we can't go anywhere, it's okay here..."

"Can you take a walk to the tea garden ?"

Mike snatched quickly when Tania had not ended her words. Three pairs of eyes looked at him simultaneously. Mike looked at Tania.

"Can ? I'm mom's permission, right ? " Tell Mike again.

Without waiting for Tania's answer, Mike stood up and headed to the kitchen, asking for mother's permission.

"Sok wae, eneng know the way there," answered Icha's mother allowing.

Tania was nervous. His heart was racing after hearing Icha's mother's reply.

Is this the time ? Have I been ready ? Oh my God !!!

Tania stood up and ran small towards the kitchen, trying not to show her nervousness. Mike emerges from there and gives way to Tania as he crosses paths. Mike then approached Mega and Kevin.

"Bro, did Tania accept me ?" Mike asked his two best friends.

"I told you, trust your heart, Mike, "Mega replied casually. Kevin patted Mike's shoulder.

"Come, I point the way," Tania said instantly after emerging from the kitchen.

"I'll get my jacket, the air is cold especially this afternoon" he continued as he walked into the room.

Mike comes out first after yelling a small goodbye at Icha's mother in the kitchen. Megan and Kevin followed.

Tania came out of the room and followed them. He was wearing a black jacket.

Mike looked calm, taking a long look ahead. He spread his arms as if he wanted to blend in with the surrounding nature.

"Everything, my blessing," he said.

Kevin and Mega were in front, taking a little distance away from Tania and Kevin. Mega unceasingly perpetuates their beautiful moment.

They hugged while taking pictures. Sometimes they laugh. They seem very happy themselves, not caring about Mike and Tania.

They are now in the middle of a vast tea plantation. There are no other trees, only weeds, the rest are tea trees.

Its height is only waist-deep, evenly all filling the sloping plains under the foot of the mountain.

There is a new milk factory and it is located on the edge of the village, limiting tea plantations and villages.

"You don't feel cold ?" Tania asked instantly, starting a conversation. They had been silent all the way until they arrived at the tea plantation.

While there, in the next row Mega and Kevin are enjoying the view. They were busy taking pictures regardless of Tania.

"Cold, but it's okay. Someone will warm me up" Mike answered without looking at Tania.

I wish it were true.

"I hope it's not your appeal" Tania said, not nervous anymore. He was fishing to get Mike to look at him.

Mike kept looking around him, occasionally playing the tips of his fingers touching the tea leaves, then stretching out both hands - no matter what he did.

"Is everything I've been saying all this time still you consider seduction ?"

Dukk, Tania's heart is beating intensely. Mike suddenly turned his face, stopped his steps until he stood right in front of Tania, then looked at her intently. Their distance is only five inches.

Tania pecked for a moment, she didn't know what to do now. Mike was so close to her. During their meeting, this time Mike was this close.

"Tell me Tania, is everything I've ever said that you take seduction ?" Ask Mike again.

Eyes, uhhh. Whoever the girl who was now standing before him must have felt the same way as Tania.

If you were my lover, I would have held my arms to your hips and whispered the most loving word: I love you.

Tania was silent, unable to say anything at the moment.

Mike ignored Tania who was still hanging up his answer. He turned his body. Tania will continue to sculpt if I keep looking at her, she thought.

"The place is beautiful. The atmosphere is cool, calm. There's no noise."

Tania still hasn't answered. The girl tried to stay calm and walked again following Mike's steps.

"Tania, come closer," Mike asked suddenly and stopped his steps.

Again Tania was nervous but tried to hide it. He dared to step closer to Mike and stand next to him. They stared straight ahead at the sturdy mountain standing before them.

"Sorry, I didn't give you anything on your birthday" Mike said quietly.

Tania took a deep breath, then exhaled her. In front of them, it was clear that the clouds were slowly moving around the mountain, making the afternoon air even colder.

"I don't expect a gift from you, Mike. Your gift necklace I still wear to this day. I was happy, not expecting it turns out you answered my challenge," replied Mega calmly.

"I did it for you, Tania. Happy birthday again. May the Lord always bless you. Hopefully, in the age that is now increasing, you are getting older and hopefully all your dreams can be realized," continued Mike.

Your unfulfilled dream is to be your lover, Mike.

Tania turned her face away, then looked at Mike who was again stretching out his hands as if he wanted to unite himself with nature.

He looked at the man who had been presenting comfort in him lately when he was near the man.
