"If you are too deeply in love, jealousy can be to anyone. Even to my best friend."

There's no other choice. There are no signs the rain will stop. Under a tree, Mike, Kevin and Mega try to take shelter.

Kevin took off his jacket and covered his girlfriend's body with his jacket. Mega is powerless to withstand the cold.

"I'm cold" said Mega with a trembling voice. Kevin tried to hug her but in vain.

"We have to find a villa to take shelter for a moment, Bro," Mike said suddenly.

Without thinking, Kevin nodded and asked Mega to run towards the motorcycle. They can't afford to take shelter in the stalls around because they're full of people. Quickly they moved and drove along the motorbike looking for the villa.

About a hundred meters away, Kevin stopped his motorcycle. He chatted for a moment with a father who stood by the roadside and held a board that read "room rental villas".

The father started his motorbike and drove to the villa he offered. He stood there offering a villa but the villa he offered was still about two hundred meters away.

Mike and Kevin went around nagging the father. Behind Kevin, Mega covers her body with Kevin's jacket. He was completely powerless to withstand the cold at this moment. His clothes and pants are getting wet.

Tania had entered back into the room after finishing eating and sat down to tell a story with Icha's mother and Ujad sir.

He grabs a panda doll from Mega and hugs her tightly. He tried to close his eyes but his mind was on his lover and his friends.

He tried to reach for the phone and wanted to call Mike but he ignored his intentions. He thought Mike wouldn't answer his phone. They must be on their way and they will definitely preach it if they have arrived in Jakarta.

He put the phone back and his hand held the necklace given by Mike on his previous birthday. He smiled to himself.

Then his hand opened the paper containing Mike's heart. He read it and smiled again.

"I didn't expect, Mike. You really did this for me" he murmured.

Tania tilted her body, hugging her panda doll tightly again for her birthday present from Mega.

"I miss you, Mike. I want you to stay here with me tonight and let me sleep on your chest" Tania's mind closed her eyes.

Kevin, Mega and Mike enter a villa shown by the father. Mike took off his jacket and hung it on a chair.

The father who drove them showed them a bedroom, bathroom and also a place to wait. What they need right now is not a room. It is the support they need. They just take a moment.

"Father wait below yes, the payment will be when you go home" said the father and left them.

Kevin approached Mega, opening his jacket on Mega's body and also the jacket worn by Mega. He knocks the two jackets on the chair and shifts the chair towards the field.

Kevin quickly set the firewood filled in the cooling and started the fire.

Mega walked closer to the fire after Kevin managed to light the fire. He really felt cold. His clothes were soaked but of course he would not take them off and hang them.

There Mike has been bare-chested. His clothes were removed and he hung them on a chair. The chair he sliding near the pendangan to quickly dry.

"Bro, my money in the wallet isn't enough" Mike whispered to Kevin.

"I'm not enough either. Later if the rain has subsided, I will go to the ATM to get it," Kevin replied while rubbing his hands together.

Mike nodded and stood around the field. Kevin stood up and grabbed Mega's shoulder and led the girl his lover approached him. He hugged his girlfriend and let her put her head on his shoulder.

"Still, Vin. My clothes are wet" replied Mega slowly.

Mike was next to Kevin. In his mind, he wanted to tell Tania that they were caught in the rain and rented a villa until the rain had subsided. But he did not want his girlfriend to think about them. He chose not to report and continued to stand warming his body on the field.

It's almost two hours and it's midnight. Mike is not worried at all because he stays on his commitment, no matter what happens he will keep working.

"Bro, the rain's gone. I'm playing Mega, yeah. I'm going to go out and find the nearest ATM" Kevin said after realizing the rain had subsided.

Mike nodded. Kevin moves quickly and leaves Mega and Mike.

He shouldn't have left Mega and Mike. They can go and wait with the villa guard father on the side of the road when he went to find an ATM. But because he thought Mega was still cold, he allowed Mega to stay there and warm up.

"Mike, I'm cold" said Mega as soon as Kevin left them. Body shaking. Mega is sensitive to cold weather. Let alone the weather, AC car he can not.

Mike stared, saying nothing. But Mega's body is getting vibrating. Frightened - afraid of misunderstandings between himself and Kevin - Mike approached Mega and hugged her best friend.

"Thank you, Mike," said Mega quietly. He leaned his head against Mike's chest and let Mike hug him.

Mike said nothing. He was silent and allowed that to happen until Kevin came back. He had heard the sound of Kevin's motorcycle and he could have immediately released his embrace on Mega who was cold but he did not want to look hypocritical.

Kevin opened the door and immediately stopped right in front of the door.With very clear he saw in front of his own eyes, Mega, his lover let his head lean on the chest of his best friend and his best friend hugged him. Mike is not wearing a shirt.

Mike realizes Kevin's arrival. But he was stupid. Thought it was okay, anyway Mega and himself just a friend. She has considered Mega like her sister.

Kevin cleared his throat hard. Mega heard the voice then raised her head and looked towards her lover. He was about to put his head back on Mike's chest but Mike suddenly let go of his embrace.

Mega immediately understood Mike's sudden reaction. He stood up straight and looked at Kevin.

"I've paid for it, we can go right away if we have to go" Kevin said after standing next to Mega.

"All right, bro, thank you. I'll return your money once we get to Jakarta" Mike said slowly.

"Casual bro, no need to be returned," Kevin said preventing Mike's intentions.

Mike looked at his best friend's face. The man stared blankly at the flame. He knew his best friend must be jealous of what he had just seen.

But Mega seemed ordinary. Mega thinks Kevin won't be jealous because Mike is her best friend.

"Bro, sorry. The one you saw.... "

"I'm okay bro. Relax," Kevin replied quickly cutting off Mike's conversation.

Mega glared and looked at Kevin. She did not expect her lover to be jealous of what had just happened. He walked up to Kevin and immediately hugged his girlfriend.

"You're jealous ?" ask Mega softly.

Mike felt guilty. He was silent and down.

"I asked for it because my body was shaking, I'm sorry" continued Mega again.

"I'm not jealous of Mega. Just relax," Kevin replied quietly and looked at Mega's face.

In his heart he hid his true feelings. It is natural for him to be jealous. He loved Mega very much and did not want to lose Mega.

"Jealousy is natural and permissible to anyone. It doesn't have to be to anyone else."

Mike was embarrassed and guilty. He grabbed his shirt and put it back on. So does his jacket. He walked away from Mega and Kevin and stood by the door.

Kevin still stood up and let Mega hug him.
