"Because I want you to be my life's friend."

Mega did not care though Kevin was mutely confused by the question he had just said.

Either Kevin's chest is too comfortable for Mega's head or just want to hug and do not want to move his head. But for sure, Mega's embrace represents his heart.

Kevin just kissed her lips. And for the first time, Mega's lips were touched by a man's lips. A few hours ago the man showed that he was jealous of the closeness of Mega and Mike, but still it did not reduce his feelings for Mega. He really loved Mega.

Hugging and asking like that, Mega hinted to Kevin that he wanted Kevin the only man who would accompany him, from today until the end of his life.

"Are you asking me to talk about something this serious, Mega ?" ask Kevin.

Mega did not budge at all and there was no sign of lifting her head.

"Mega, you heard me, didn't you ? Do you think I'll leave you ?" ask Kevin again.

This time, Mega did not answer. In fact, the girl shed her tears and she let her tears wet the chest of Kevin, her lover.

Kevin is confused. Sure oes. Mega asked about the family's consent, then hugged her and now cries in her arms.

Kevin glanced at the table for a moment and realized Mega had just seen the family picture. Then gently, he landed a kiss on her head. So soft.

"Mega, let me explain it to you. Cease crying. I don't like seeing you like this. Come on," whine Kevin softly. He tried to raise his lover's head but Mega himself raised his head and looked at him sharply but meaningfully.

"I know, Kevin. You come from a family. I was just scared,,," Mega held back her sentence for a moment.

"If your parents don't accept me. Family is mediocre. Nothing to be proud of...."

"Hey, honey,,, "cut Kevin fast. His thumb moved quickly and gently rubbed Mega's cheek.

"Don't love not look at that ? I want you and I to perfect it together. Trust me. My mom and dad are not like that. Trust me." Kevin blinked one eye and spread his voice.

Kevin's eyes stared softly at Mega's eyes. Mega. From the light of his eyes, Kevin can catch the fear that dominates his lover at this time. He had let his lips be touched by the man he loved. He does not want, after this the man will be discouraged or even leave himself.

"Please promise me, Kevin. For the first time I let someone touch me and you certainly know what I'm afraid of right now" Mega said after a long silence.

"I want you to be my life partner. The only one," continued Mega asked. He tried to say all that as sincerely as possible, as sincere as his love for Kevin at this time.

He once struggled to get someone's love but his love only clapped one hand. This time, he will not fail again.

"Trust me, Mega," said Kevin must then hug his lover tightly.

"Sorry that made you jealous. I did love Mike, but I've done it. What I love right now is you,,,,"

"Ssssttttt,, don't say that again. I-i understand. Sorry if I overdo it," cut Kevin up while sticking his index finger in Mega's mouth.

Mega smiled and hugged Kevin. Now he realized that love always had its own way of bringing him to the man who loved himself just as much as he loved the man.

Quickly, he played his finger and put the phone to his ear. He called Mike.

After trying three times, Mike finally answered his phone.

"Hello, Tania," the man replied.

"Good morning, Mike. Are you awake ?" ask Tania.

"You just woke me up, Tania. We just arrived a few hours ago because it was caught in the rain" Mike explained.

"Oh my goodness, Mike. Come on, get up, you got to work, don't you ?" tanya Tania was shocked.

"Yes, thank you for waking me up" said Mike as he stepped toward the dispenser and filled a glass of water and took a quick sip.

"I take a shower, otherwise I'll be late. Thank you for waking me up" Mike said quickly to his girlfriend and asked her to hang up.

"Later after I was at work. I'll call you again" Mike asked.

Tania nodded and hung up. He smiled happily, on the first day after being with Mike, he had become an alarm for Mike. But on the one hand, Tania is still flattered by what Mike is doing. The man was willing to leave the job and go to meet himself and today, he had to force himself to go to work, against the drowsiness and fatigue he was feeling at the moment.

Tania put back her phone and stepped towards the kitchen. As usual, Icha's mother, his adoptive mother during her scripting assignment research, has been busy providing breakfast to them as well as to her subscriptions.

Tania greets Icha's mother and helps with what she has to do before the time comes to continue her research.

Mike's been standby at his picket table. Today he should have had his turn off, but he had asked one of his colleagues to take his place yesterday so he had to come in today in his place, trying to fight the drowsiness and fatigue he felt.

He smiled to himself watching the video that Mega had sent him this morning - a video that vividly recorded a beautiful moment that had passed yesterday afternoon.

After watching it over and over again, he played his finger for a moment and sent a message to Tania.

"I'm already at work. Thank you for being an alarm bell for me today. Thank you for making me your lover even though we have been waiting for him for a long time. Thank you, Tania. Me and my breath miss you."

Mike put his phone back in his pants pocket after sending a message to Tania.As usual he did not wait for a reply from his lover because of course Tania long reply because of his busyness.

Mike has prepared and done his job today - checking the safety of the car as well as any hotel guests who come and go.

Mike loves his job. From this job, he survived in Jakarta. He can also finance his own college from his income.

College has been fine so far. It still takes two more years to finish. His cleverness set the time, making his work and lectures not disturbed at all.

Plus, she has a boyfriend now. As with other teenagers, of course, love affairs must be considered. Between work, college and education, he must now be good at dividing his time.
